Makes the Amende Honorable.

The Monroe News-Star inadvertently
published our article, IAN Example of
Bone Headed Legislation in its edi-
torial columns without giving credit for
same. We called attention to the cmis-
sion, saying we felt sure it was an
oversight, and the News-Star NAL es
the amende honorable in hearty al d
unreserved terms that are entirely
satisfactory, as follows:-
1.-The editor of the News-Star begs
to make the amende honorable, and
to saw to our esteemed friend of the
Chronicle that the omission of the
proper credit was unintentional- We
are glad he called our attention to the
matter. We desire to give credit
where credit is due, and hope he will
accept our apology. We also hope that
he and other editors in the State will
continue to discuss this obnoxious anc
unfair printing Law" to the enc
that at the next session of the Genera
Assembly it will be amended and made
to conform to the views OF falr ant
lust men-men who desire to see JUS
tice and right prevail between th'
State, parish and city and those loya
workers who are continually doing al
possible to promote the growth ant
development of the State and Its
political subdivisions.

Wealth in Pine Stumps.

Pine lands denuded were for long
time considered practically worthless;
hut in recent years experiments have
shown that they can be turned into
richly productive farms
One of the difficulties was the removal
of the stumps, involving heavy labor
and almost prohibitive cost.
But that difficulty. is now being SOW
ed. 1t interesting to learn that a
company with headquarters at LAUREL
Miss. has demonstrated that the dis-
nos;ng of pine stumpage can be made
more profitable than the handing Oh
the timber itself.
The company was organized only
wear ago to exact products from pine
stumps. With force of only sixteen
men. a small plant and limited capita
l;zatiou it has made a profit OF 70
cord ON the stumps it has handled dur
inc the year, and the average acre o.
cut-over land in its territory yield
eight cords. 1t VIII illus oS 500

will come into cultivation. Farmer

The expense, however, is high.

Time to Prepare for the Fair.

Although several months intervene
before the time for the 1913 fairs, 1t Is
by no means too early for the different
parish organizations to begin prepara-
lions right now. In fact, preparations
should be started without delay, If the
associations desire to make the parish
fairs big successes.
1t is difficult to arouse enthusiasm I'D
the summer time, with the crops need
ing attention and the temperature OF
such intensity as to make everybody
seek cool places. but notwithstanding
the crops and the heat, enthusiasm
must be aroused 1t is very necessary
in all earnest movements, and is es-
pecially needed in arranging for fairs
The success of any fair depends prlnci-
pally upon enthusiasm. With the prop
err interest and enthusiasm on the part
of farmer and merchant and citizen
generally, the plans will be formed
and executed. and the fair will be

Therefore help arouse enthusiasm In
your community.
Talk to your neighbor and urge him
to begin saving agricultural and other
specimens and to exert special efforts
to prepare other products for exhibit
bition. The better the specimens the
greater will be chance in the compe-
tition for premiums. Urge the farmer
to begin right now to make his prepa-
rations to place just as much and just
as fine products as possible at the par
ish fair, and then to have these exhib-
its carried to the State fair.
Better inducements than ever before
are being offered this year to the parish
fair associations exhibiting at the State
fair. and the indications point to lar
ger collection of exhibits, than ever De
fore. In order to make fine showing
at the State fair, the parish association
must have numerous and fine exhibits
on display at the parish fair. There
fore it behooves the individual citizens
of each community to work this sum

thusiasm. If this is done the parlsl
fair will be success and the parisl
will make a splendid showing at tn
State fair.
Secretary Louis N. Brueggerhoff, o
the State Fair Association, is urgin
all of the parish associations to sen
exhibits to the State fair this year
He is also urging the associations
compete for the splendid prizes. hi
principal advice at this time is in lin
