THE TRUE WoNDERBERRY.

Farm and Fireside:
"This real 'wohderberry' is ordinari.

real wonder about it all is that more
people don't know about it and grow
1t in their gardens. A small space fiji.
teen feet square has been known to
produce over one hundred quarts Of
fruit. Another wonder is that fruit
that has been so long in cultivation is
neglected by people who are chasing
rainbows in the form of little purple.

half dozen berries smaller than buck

Louisiana Bank and Trust Company
and the Louisiana National Bank of
Baton Rouge will take large portion

prominent men are already interested
in the project and giving it their en-.

H. c. LEAKE MAKES
IMPORTANT CHANGE

After many years service with the
Illinois Central as general attorney
and general agent, Hunter C. Leake
has resigned to accept position with
the Standard Oil Company. His de-
termination was announced Saturday
afternoon, and came as o surprise e, en-
to the officials of the road who had
been working with Mr.. Leake.
Mr.. Leake has been named as sole
counsel by the Standard Oil Company
of New Jersey and by the Standard
OH Company of Louisiana to defend
the suit brought against these corpo-
rations by Mississippi, which Com.
monwealth asks for penalties aggre-
eating $10,000,0OO for what it alleges
were violations of the antitrust laws
of that State.

clerk, and who was appointed to the

CAMPAIGN AGAINST DOGS.

For years we have read In our live
stock publications letters from men
who admitted having been driven out
OF the sheep business by dogs. Think
OF it! TO live in country-in a
State-that will allow dogs to destroy
that which is needed to feed her peo-
pie. 1t has become a common COM
plant among our struggling sheep
breeders, and these conditions will re-
main just as long as our breeders will
allow them to exist. At some of our
State fairs there were no sheep shows
this year, owing very largely to the
fact that so many of our fiocks suffer
ed from dog depredations to such ex-
tent that number of our farmers have
discontinued to breed sheep"
Why not have universal dog law?
The citizens of our country have the
right to such protection and if our
flock masters will only demand 1t they
will receive the recognition they de,
serve.
If you have any personal experience
which you can relate, fill in the infor-
nation on postal card, stamp and
mail at once and the matter will be
presented to the annual meeting to
emphasize to the body of men gather.
ed there the necessity of some immedi.
ate action on their part toward having
a bill presented urging the passage OF
protecting law. BY working as an
organized body much may be accom-.
plished through our association, which
has in past received little attention
from our lawmakers.

AVOID STEEP GRADES IN ROAD
BUILDING.

The average life of horses and au.
tomobiles may be increased and the
cost of hauling reduced, according to
the Office of Roads, of the Department
of Agriculture, by relocating many old
roads and the more scientific laying
out OF new ones. The natural tenden-
cy in road building is to build a
straight road, whether it goes over
steep grades or hills, or not, and pull
ing over these grades naturally adds
to the wear and tear on horses and
vehicles.
According to the testimony of farm
ers consulted, where horse might be
able to pull 1000 pounds on level
road, it would have difficulty in pull
ing 5000 pounds up a steep hill. The
size of the load, therefore, tends to be
measured by the grade of the largest
hill ON the road to market.
The doctrine of the Office of Roads
Is that the longest way around may
often be the shortest and most eco
nomical way home, and that frequent
ly by building highway around hill
or grade, but little appreciate dis
lance is added and this is more than
Offset by the reduced strain of hauling.
The chief drawback from the farm
owners point of view is that the lay
ing out of roads on this principle of
avoiding grades necessitates, in some
cases, running the road through good
farm land or orchards or pastures, in
stead OF going around the farm line
and building the road through old
WORKOUT fields and over rocky knobs.
This, of course, must raise question
in the mind of the individual land
owner as to whether the cutting up of
his property by road yields him in.
dividual advantages and so benefits
his community as to Offset the use of
such land for road, or to overcome
the inconvenience of having his land
divided. In this connection the Office
Of Roads points out that the running

SUPREME COURT REFUSES
REHEARtNGS.

BY its refusal to grant a rehearing
in the case of the State vs.. Edward
Robertson, charged with the murder
Iof Joe Young, the Supreme Court
wrote the final chapter in this sensa.
tional murder case. Robertson was
sentenced to ten years in the peniten-
tiary, and the Supreme Court first re-
fused a new trial and then refused a
rehearing. Justice Frank A. Monroe
alone dissented from the decision Of
the court refusing to grant a new
trial.
1t is said that the attorneys for the
accused will take the matter to the
Supreme Court of the United States,
but unless that court finds that some
Federal right was denied the accused
during his trial, the appeal will be dis.
missed without going into the merits
of the case.
The court also refused rehearing
in the case Of the State vs.. Joshua G.
Baker, judge, wherein the court or.
dered Judge Baker to open the ballot
boxes used in the November election
in open court, Judge Baker first held,
on application of the attorney general
and district attorney, that he had no
right to order the opening Of the boxes
in court, and Attorney General r. G.
Pleasant and District Attorney C. c..
Nuremberg, acting on instructions from
the governor, applied to the Supreme
Court for mandamus to compel
Judge Baker to open the boxes, and
the court, acting under authority Of a
statute Of 1917, ordered him to do so.
The matter is now settled and 1t is
likely that the court will proceed to an
examination of the ballot boxes within
the next few days to ascertain wheth-
er or not there were any Irregularities
in connection with the vote on the tax
amendments and the choice of presi.
Dental electors.

KEEP YOUR RECORD CLEAN.

(Selected)
SO live, my son, that when you start
A fight of any kind
Your enemies can never find
A crooked action on your part.
SO live that they may freely roam
Into your past, and snoop about,
And comb it with fine tooth comb,
And never dig blame thing out
That's mean or fraudulent, or vile
Though every man is sure to make
Many an error and mistake,
If you have lived upon the square
You still can make your fight and smile
And never worry, fret or care
How much your foes may try to cast
The calcium glare upon your past
But if you haven't played the game
Your foes will find your hidden shame
And you will get the bitter blame,
And get it good;
And though your fight be just and right-Good
night!
And so its simple business sense,
Although the pressure be immense,
Although temptation may be keen
say it's simple business sense,
