Using says: No lady wishes to
be looked upon as a shopping
fiend; she does not care to go in
to store and have a merchant
show all his stock in order to find
out whether he keeps what she
wishes to purchase and whether
the article is sold'at a price she
can afford. 1t is much easier
and pleasanter to look through
the advertisements of a paper
than it is to bore the clerks and
waste her own time. Next to
the local news items, the adver-
tisements in a paper stating arti-
cles for sale with prices, will
keep much of the money that
goes to the large cities at home. "

10000. Surely there would be
cheap lands on which to erect
such a plant at Colfax, much
cheaper than in New Orleans,
and owing to the cheapness of
fuel obtained from mill refuse
the necessary steam could be
had at a minimum cost. The
products are shipped all over the
United States, as well as for ex-
port. / do not know of any other
single industry that could be To-
Gated at Colfax with the raw ma
terial so close to its doors and
other conditions, especially fuel,
as favorable. In my opinion
there is an opening here for Col
fax that deserves serious consid-
GRAFTON and special efforts to
have such plant established. For
instance, during the week men
could extract and pile along the
log roads the supply of pine
stumps and on Sundays the log
trains could haul them to the
turpentine plant, enough to keep
it busy at least a week and prob
ably much longer. The saw mills
themselves not understanding
the subject, all have their mind
exclusively on the lumber and
marketing of same, but as tur-
pentine, resin, tar and whatever
other products can be recovered
from the stumps, the market for
those is constantly increasing.
suggest that you address the
American Turpentine & Tar Co.,
Broad Street & New Basin Canal,
New Orleans, telling them of the
abundant raw material and the
cheapness of the fuel at Colfax,
and the next time you are in New
Orleans take the time to visit
their plant. Of course the in
terest of those people might be
in other directions, but inquiry
into the matter, getting what
ever information you can is not
difficult and may lead to results.
Yours very truly,
VIM. EDENBORN,
President.

Brick House Sent by Mail.

Mr.. VIM. LaCroix, proprietor
of the Colfax Brick Company,
sent by parcel post this week a
brick of local manufacture to be
used in building a brick house at
the Coliseum Chicago during the
Clay Products Exposition which
is to be held February 18th to
March 9th. This brick will be
one of $4,000 sent by parcel post
from every brick plant in the
United States to be used in the
construction of this house, which
will be given away and re-erect-
ed after the exposition.
The idea was originated to test
the merits of the parcel post sys-
tenn and it is certainly a novel
one. A record will be kept of
each brick from the time the
brick is mailed until it is deliver
ed in Chicago, in order to see
how speedily Uncle Sam can de-
liver a brick house by mail. 1t
is probable that Uncle Sans
mail carriers in Chicago will not
be overly enthusiastic for this
method of delivery of a brick
house, and other mail carriers
throughout the country will
watch the experiment with inter-
est, and fear and trembling.
While the brick fireproof house
is becoming more and more Pop
ular, it is not probable that they
will be delivered by mail to any
alarming extent. At any rate
Mr.. VIM. LaCroix will have a
brick in the first brick house ever
sent by mail.

No town will become a good
business center so long as its
business men rely on a few mer-
chants to make the effort to
to bring trade to town. Too Of
ten the men in a few lines of
trade are about the only ones
that reach out after custom.
Other merchants wait until these
men induce the people to come to
town and content themselves
with trade that naturally drifts
to their place. A public spirited
man should ask himself if he is
doing his part to attract people
to come to town and trade in
helping the entire business COM
munity, and no town is a success
unless all lines are working to
extend the trade as far as posi-
BILE and trying to bring a larger
territory in the circles in which
the town is the business center.

A Turpentine Plant at COfax
Mr. Edenborn Shows the Practcability of Establishing
Great Industry for Grant Parish and Tells How
the Millions of Pine Stumps Now Useless
Waste Can be Made Valuable.

The following letter is so APP
propriate and timely in its prac-
ticability and Importance to the
community of Grant parish at
large that we have asked for the
privilege of printing it, so our
people can take the matter un-
der advisement and give it the
consideration to which it is en-
titled. 1t opens up a wide field,
and would undoubtedly prove to
Colfax a particularly fine invest
ment. In fact we believe the in
vestment already made here by
the Colfax Cotton Oil Co., con-
sisting of a substantial brick
building and land, conveniently
located and already provided with
a railroad switch, could be utiliz-
ed as a large part of the capital
necessary for such an enterprise,
and that it will require but very
little effort to induce a sufficient
amount of additional capital to
come in and make it a going con-
Germ at an early date.
The letter, which shows Mr..
Edenborn's interest in Colfax, is
as follows:

We heard a young man remark
last week that, the world owes
me a living" 1t is hoped for
that young mans good that he'll
get the notion out of his head.
It's a mistake, a grave mistake.
He never entertained a more
foolish idea nor one which will
bring him a smaller measure of
respect. The world owes the
young man nothing; but instead
he owes the world and society an
active, noble manhood, a steady
honest energy which will enable
him to associate with decent men
and women in true manliness
of character that will make his
friendship valuable and his pres
ence and companionship desired.
This young man should contribute
to society's happiness and well
fare the grace which comes
through study, toll and honest
thought.

The Mexican Imbrcglio.

bdSl Wcch we gave OuI IcducIo
an account Of the sudden capture
of Francisco Madero, President
of Mexico, at the hands of the
Revolutionists led by Gen. Felix
Diaz. The capture was affected
by the traitorious act of General
Banquet, who ordered his men
to arrest President Madero, and
then turned the government he
had sworn to support over to the
Revolutionists. A bloody sequel
followed the next day, when
Gustavo Madero, the Presidents
brother, was shot to death under
the notorious fugitive law"
This attrocity was so revolving
that President Taft at once mott
fed the de facto authorities in
charge Of the government that
any further shedding of blood
without due and legal process of
trial would be considered as suf-
ficient cause of Intervention by
the United States to protect the
lives and property of its citizens.
In spite of this warning, how
ever, within in ten days, a double
murder of defenseless prisoners
has been committed, when Presi-
dent Madero and Vice President
Jose Pine Suarez were shot to
death about midnight of Feb. %.
as they were being transferred
from the palace to the peniten-
tiary. The very thin excuse is
given that party of friends
were attempting to rescue them
and that they were killed while
attempting to escape, but the
fact that the auto in which they
had been sitting was shot in many
places gives this the lie. The
furth er fact that they were
being transferred at night with
a small guard, instead of in
day light with a strong guard to
protect them, gives ample ground
to suspect the Revolutionists ,of
having deliberately planned the
murder of the prisoners.
President Taft has given, or
ders for the concentration of
about Is, 900 troops on the Texas
border, also seven or eight bat
tleships with five thousand ma
rines have been ordered to the
east and west coasts of Mexico,
and it seems as though every
preparation is being made for in
PREVENTION by President Wilson
as soon as he is inaugurated on
March 4. So that it appears the
year 1918 may witness the long
expected Intervention in Mexico,
and in the minds of many of our
best informed statesmen inter-
vention can hardly be made with
out final annexation of Mexican
territory, in part if not of the
whole country.

one little bunch of flowers, to please
her eye, or delight her rather prominent
nose, than she fixes as the amount upon
which working girls should exist for
month. True, she does not fix the eX-
act amount. She evades that by saying
they should be paid enough to allow
them to live. If they can get along on
$4 a week, that is all they should be
paid ;if So or 81 a week is absolutely
needed for their existence, she would
generously allow them that munificent
wage. As matetr of fact, thousands
of girls are working for their board and
clothes, with no hope of bettering their
condition. The white slaves Of COM
mercialism are immeasurably worse off
than the black slaves of so years ago.
They had board and clothing, were pro-
vided with shelter, had doctors SER
vices at their owners expense. Then,
too, they were out in God s free air,
where they saw the sun, the flowers,
the beauty Of nature handiwork. They
were not coOped up during their work
ing hours in prisons of stone and NOR
tar, and in the miserable little rooms
they called home, surrounded by sense

here let us say that the men for whom
these girls give the years of their
youth are not so much to blame as we,
the great American people, who are
moved by greed to get everything at
the lowest possible price. We force the
merchants hands, or some of them; and
while some of the big corporations grind
down their employees numerically, the
smaller merchants do, probably, about
the best circumstances will permit. In

SALEM CHAUTAUQUA
PROGRAM IS GREAT
Something About Artists Who Will Be
Here to Entertain People This
Season.

As the time for the Salem chautauqua
draws nearer, the interest becomes
greater in the programs which are Of
fered us. Perhaps the greatest inter
est centers in the White City band and
the Thaviu Grand Opera company, ap-
pearing on the fourth day. This or
ganization, which the official band at
the United States land exposition show
in Chicago in 1910, will present the
best music written for band and orches-
tral work
The Thaviu grand opera company
will give excerpts from sucil classics,
both in ensemble and as soloists. Low
ers of music are expecting a real treat
when this splendid organization reaches
us.
Many promises are made regarding
the German violinist, Carl Frederic
Steckelberg 1t is said that he plays
with a tone remarkable for its purity
and sweetness, and that his technique
is equal to that of the greatest vir.
tuoso. Indeed, friends of this young
man insist that he has never as yet
taken his proper place in the musical
world, owing to the fact that he does
not like to do concert work on account
of the hardships of travel.
Among the noted orators offered is
Senator Burkett of Nebraska He is a
young man, being the youngest United
States senator at the time of his cleo
tion. He is a rapid and fluent speaker
who has invariably pleased wherever
he has lectured. His chautauqua en-.
gagements in number have been ex.
ceeded by very few lecturers. His sub
icct here will be "The New Woman
and the Young Man, which is said to
be his most popular lecture
OF great interest to all is the coming
of Ben Chaplin. From an educational
standpoint, this is the best chautauqua
