Motor Cars for the Cotton Bell

Motor Cars for the Cotton Belt.
The Shreveport Times of the 14th has
the following: According to an an
nouncement made to the State Railroad
Commission by the officials Of the Cotton
Belt Railroad, passenger service on the
branch line running from this city to
New Lewisville, Ark, is to be immedi-
ately improved by the Inauguration Of
motor car service.
The present service on this line was
the cause of complaint made to the
Railroad Commission by Bossier Parish
citizens, and the commission has since
received assurance from William N
Neff, assistant general manager OF thu
road, that the company would, just q
soon as the cars could be secured, inau.
purate motor car service between thu
two points.
No announcement is made regarding
schedules, but it is presumed the car
will leave here 1t an early morning hon
and return late in the afternoon.
It will be two or three months befor
the cars can be secured and put int
operation.

Domestic Art Club.

The Domestic Art Club was delight
fully entertained Wednesday afternoon
of last week by our efficient secretary,
Miss Grace Larkin, as hostess, and Mrs.
Belle Wise as co-hostess. The attract
i've home of Mrs. Wise was beautified
by autumn decorations. Chrysanthe-
NUNS, roses and palms were arranged
artistically in the reception hall and
parlor.
During the business session motion
was passed requiring each member to
pay fee of ten cents per month. An
animated discussion followed as to the
most profitable way of using the pro-
ceeds. It was finally determined to helT
the orphans of the different denomina-
tions represented in the club.
Some of the pieces of needle worl
which had won prizes at the State Fail
were placed on exhibition. Misses Jes'
sic Wyche and Winnie Brownlee wer'
the fortunate prize winners.
A delicious salad course was serves
by the hostesses, after which the clul
adjourned to meet with Miss Jessi,

Give the Boy His Chaaee.

ST have never heard Of boy taught
to love nature who went wrong" says
the leaflet of the Luther Burbank So
ciety under the title of s'Give the Boy
His Chance"
The world already has enough lawyers,
enough doctors, enough engineers, and
enough business executives: and enough
railroad men to take care of its wants.
What it needs urgently and now-is
men who can show the farmer how to
increase his wheat yield without CORES
ponding increase Of expense or effort, so
that Chicago and New York may once
more have their large five cent loaves Of
bread as of old.
What the world needs, urgently and
now, is men who can increase the forage
from our present acreage SO that sixteen
cents will buy pound of the choicest
sirloin, as Of old, instead of pound OF
rump, as now.
What the world needs is not theory,
or agitation, or college lore; there are
plenty Of these, and at cost of one
hundred and eighty million dollars pei
annum in money and who knows how
much time, they have succeeded in in
creasing our crop yield only bare three
per cent.
What the world needs is men who car
do to agriculture and to horticulture
what Edison did to electricity, Carnegie
to steel, and the Vanderbilts, Hills ani
Harrimans to tansportation-develop it,
efficiency.
And the boy who tries to give thu
world this want will find himself facing
an opportunity four hundred times big
ger than the railroad was a hundret
years ago, eight hundred times bigge
than electricity offered at it's inception
fifteen hundred times bigger than tn
steel opportunity which Mr.. Carnegi
found-because agriculture is just, b,
these amounts, bigger than those othe
industries.
The boy who seeks this opportunit
will find himself in no long waiting lin
of applicants. He will face no eigh
, years. apprenticeship.
Every tillable acre of land is inviting
him to come to work; every purchase
of food and clothing is protesting againf
his delay.
And every plant that grows is anxiou
to reveal to him the trade secrets an
technique of his new profession
change.

Every Year.

~
Life is count Of losses,
Every year;
For the weak are heavier losses,
Every year;
Lost Springs with sohs replying
Unto weary Autumn's signing,
While those we love are dying,
Every year.
It is growing darker, colder,
Every year;
AS the heart and soul grow older,
Every year;
care not now for dancing,
Or for eyes with passion glancing,
Love is less and less enhancing,
Every year.
The days have less of gladness,
Every year;
The nights more weight of sadness,
Every year;
Fair springs no longer charm us,
The winds and weather harm US,
The threats of Death alarm US,
Every year.
There comes new cares and sorrows,
Every year;
Dark days and darker morrows,
Every year;
The ghosts of dead loves haunt US,
The ghosts of changed friends taunt us
And Disappointment daunt us,
Every year.
OF the loves and SORROWS blended,
Every year;
OF the charms of friendship ended,
Every year;
OF the ties that still might bind me,
Until Time to Death resigned me,
My infirmities remind me,
Every year.
All! how sad to look before us,
| Every year;
| While the cloud grows darker DER us,
| Every year;
When we see the blossoms faded,
That to bloom we might have aided,
/ And immortal garlands braided,
Every year.
To the Past go more dead faces,
Every year;
AS the loved leave vacant places,
Every year;
| EV0IyWIICIC UiIC SdO OyOo u1OOV uoe
In the evenings dusk they greet US,
And to come to them entreat us,
Every year.
"You are growing DID," they tell US,
Every year;
"You are more alone," they tell US,
Every year;
ssYou can win no new Affection"
"You have only recollection"
Deeper sorrow and detection,
Every year.
The shores of life are shifting,
Every year;
And we are seaward drifting,
Every year;
Old places, changing, fret us,
The living more forget us,
There are fewer to regret US,
Every year.
But the truer life draws higher,
} Every year;
And its Morning star climbs higher,
Every year;
Earth's hold on us grows slighter,
!, And the Dawn Immortal brighter,
Al Every year.
