Rochester Post: A Boston author de-
scribes friendship as the greatest of the
great arts almost lost ia this age Of ma
terialism." But is friendship an art? Il
may be in Boston. But ordinary people
will see in it an instinct, Z habit, or per-
haps result of reciprocal afinities. OF
all things, friendship is the least artificial
it is purely product Of good old Mother
Nature.

From Our State Exchanges
1000, 900 bushels Of

Louisiana gathers 4,O00, 900 bushels Of
oysters in season.
II is now stated that cotton planters in
the Rinqgold section Of Bienville Parish
will make 80 per cent crop.
Morgan City Outlook: The big banana
plant back of our printery has produced
four punches this fall that reached ma
turity, and had very good flavor.
Livingston Times: Louisiana is about
the best, if not the best, place on earth.
It's up to the citizens to show their appre-
citation of SO good country by making it
produce more feedstuff, more beef and pork,
more fruits and vegetables and more home
comforts. It can be done If each one OF
us will determine to do our beet. Other
sections not favored by nature like LOUISE
ana, have prosperous and happy people,
with fine homes, fruits, etc. Do you think
they were made by kicking ct trifles.
Ruston Leader: Another cause for ju-
venile crimes is the assurance that the
Young criminal has that he will not receive
adequate punishment at the hands OF the
laws of Louisiana. Any normal twelve
year-old boy knows as we'll as 9 thirty
year-old man the enormity Of the crime of
murder. and deserves similar punish
ment, maudlin sentimentality to the con-
trary notwithstanding. He knows the
value Of the life of his victim as well as he
ever will. The idea that person is an
irresponsible infant until he is grown is
both ridiculous and dangerous to society.
The Louisiana Planter of last Saturday
says: Ideal weather from the sugar
planters point of view has prevailed during
the past week throughout all the Louisiana
sugar district. It has been clear and cool.
the thermometer going down low enough
to bring frost and the cane has increased
in sucrose rapidly under these conditions
and is yielding much better in sugar than
is ordinarily the case at the outset OF the
campaign. The dry weather has also put
the roads in good condition again and al
together the grinding season Of 1918 starts
out under most favorable circumstances,
the low price Of sugar being the only draw
back to the situation. BY next Monday
the campaign will be in full blast.

WHEN PINS WERE VALUABLE

When pins were drst tn- vented and brought into use about the beginning of the sixteenth cen. tury they were . New Years gift very acceptable to ladies. and money given for the purchase of them was called pin money" This expression has since been extended to money settled by a husband on his marriage for the private expenses of his wife. Pins made of metal. in their present form were in use some time before the year 1543. It was during the reign of Henry VII. that "an acte for tue true making of pynnes" was made in which it was enacted that the price should not exceed shtllings pence . thousand.

READ 4 HALF HoUP ! DAY
How q Housewife VII Intelligence Kept Herself From Drifting into
 Dull, Old Woman.

A woman who has brought ID a big family on a small income, yet has managed to keep mentally alert, says 1t is due to a Half-Hour club.
 This club has as it's fixed rule that half an hour each day must oe spent in solid reading. There vas a Ieeway of A hours. after that there was a fine of five cents each day for fail- ure to get through the prescribed reading.
 \ Twice a month the club meets for discussion of the reading done and to collect fines of delinquents and spur them on to fresh effort.
 The woman who told of this club says: "No one knows what it has meant to me. When you are the one woman in a family of boys. have a bushel basket of stockings to darn weekly, six children to sew for. les. sons to be heard. 1t IS a big tempta. tion to stop reading entirely or to tritter spare minutes on novels. That half hour a day of solid reading has kept me up with the times, has rested my body and stimulated my brain and, best of all, 1t has kept me from drifting into dull old wonlan, of whom my sons might love, but would pity for her ignorance
 Especially if you live In small town Is such club of importance. It Is easy to stagnate, unless conscious effort is made. The winter season is the time to. start such a club amona yours neighbors. Do not be content with planning a half-hour reading daily for yourself You will never hold to 1t without the stimulus of com penionship and the broadening inter est of the fortnightly meetings.

Newest Pest.

The newest pest in the west and middle west Is the dog. Not the prat rie dog, just the common dog. He Is responsible for the decline in the sheep raising industry. In many states in the section of the country once largely devoted to cattle and sheep raising, there are more dogs than there are sheep. It takes three barb wires on top of two feet of woven wire to make fence that will keep dogs away from sheep. Kansas had 175,Ooo sheep and 199.000 dogs in 1910, according to the secretary oi the Kansas board of agriculture.
 The usual answer farmers in the west give to the question, "Why don't you keep sheep?" is We can't keep dogs from killing them"
