TELL US The NEWS.

We presume there never was a
newspaper in any locality that
gave all the local happenings. II
is often that some one comes or
goes that the reporter does not
see. 1t happens that the family
is missed several times. They
get the impression that the editor
does not care to mention them +.
This is a mistake. In most cOun-
try towns the local work is the
hardest work connected with a
newspaper. A man may be a
good editorial writer, but a
fiat failure in the local work =,
and vice versa. Editorial mate
rial is obtained by study, by read
ing newspapers, and sometimes
by usirg scissors. Persons and
local happenings can't be read
and clipped from other papers,
not by a jugful. 1t takes physi.
cal as we'll us mental exertion 10
get out two or three columns OF
local news in a town of the size OF
Tallulah. Most people take local
paper to get the local happenings.
Don't be afraid:to tell the editor
or reporter that you have friends
visiting you. There are lots oil
people who are interested in your
friends. You owe it as a duty to
them TO let your friends know oil
their doings. Perhaps you think
the paper shows Partially. buI
just see if the paper doesn't treat
you right if you give it - chance

TEACHERS UP IN ARMS.

Only six OF the twenty applicants
for certificate grading as teachers
in the public schools OF Caddo
Parish passed at the recent ex-
aminations, according to an an.
nouncement yesterday. The fail
ure of the other fourteen is attri-
buted to the difficult questions
contained in the examination
papers sent out by the State Board
of Education. Complaints against
them come from all candidates in
all sections Of the State, according
tothis same announcement. Some
applicants, it was said, who have
been teaching for years, failed TO
pass on this account.
Of the six applicants in Caddo
who were given ratings only one
received a first grade certificate,
two second grade and three, third
If. the remaining fourteen are to
teach they must secure an extern
sion by virtue of their attendance
at summer normals this year and
next summer. Of the thirty.
eight negro applicants only one
passed being issued a third grade
certificate.
S;milarreports come from other
sections Of the State, it was said
so Caddo is no exception. Supt.
C. L. Byrd is of the opinion that
the teachers selected for the
schools of Shreveport and Caddo
Parish are among the best to be
mad. I'VE have chosen the best
we know how,' he said, 9 and

ourselves that the applicants for
positions are possessed of the

THE INDUSTRY OF The FUTURE.


fiveyears before them, it becomes
more and more evident to cotton
planters that the industry which
has for so many years been de-
pended on as a money crop Of
primary Importance is, to say the
least, a precarious and uncertain
revenue producer.
That the South's great staple,
cotton, will continue to be planted
and may in time come to again
be planted profitably, we are
willing to concede, but the time
is fast approaching VIXEN other
crops. such as corn, oats and hay,
will be planted more and more as
money crops, 30 that failure in
cotton will not mean, as it now
does. empty pockets and long
faces.
We know that corn and oats
can be grown profilably here and
there are lands here where today
from tive 10 four tons of Lespedeza
hay per acre are being cut off of
meadows which were neverseeded
to that crop and which last year
were five foot under water.
And 80 we have unbounded
confidence that the problem OF
making money in this section
under boil weevil conditions will
he solved eventually for with
lands of incompatible fertility
with genial climate and with an
intelligent population, it is in.
conceivable that our lands owners
will not find relief i'm other crops
and industries from the depression
brought about by the devestations
OF the boil weevil.
In our Judgement, the time will
soon come when intelligent plant.
ers will turn their attention largely
to stock raising, coupled with the
growing of food crops forsale, or
for consumption by the cattle and
hogs.
There ia more m attractive prop
osition presented today to the
American farmer than that of
stock growing and nowhere in
America can it be conducted more
successfully than right here in the
Mississippi river bottoms. In the
last decade the population Of the
United States has increased 10y
Is, 900. ZOO and the supply OF
cattle has decreased some 20, 000,-
600. The price of beef and hogs
i. going up year by year until il
seems only question of time
when the masses Of the people,
like those in many European
countries, will be unable to buy
meat. Already beef-steaks and
hams have become luxusses anu
experts are confidently predicting
that next year beef on the hooI
will be sold for ten cents the
pound. With prices at The pres
ent level cattle growing Is very
profitable and with reasonable
certainty thar prices will DO still
higher, the industry presents a
most attractive field for invest
ment.
1t seems TO us that this indus
try should receive at once the
most serious consideration by our
land owners, and ~ cattle grew
