IS an unfortunate fact that our bust
ness men know so lamentably little
about scientific finance Our cur
rency is so inelastic that when busi-
ness begins to boom, the volume of
currency fails to expand sufficiently
to meet tne requirements of the
booming business, hence, we are liza
Bile in the midst of the most prosper
Gus period to be thrown into the
exactly what happened in 1907 and
also in 1898 In fact, the same is
also in 1885. In fact, the same is
true of the panic of 1857. This coun-
try certainly presents a glorious op-
portunity for a great financier to re-
organize our finances and place them
on sound and enduring basis, such
as England, France and Germany
enjoy and where panics are unknown
in times of peace.
A New Building For the Patent Office.
The inventors have been writing
letters to their representative and
senators in Congress for. many years
urging them to provide a new build
ing for the Patent office At last &
bill has been introduced in the House
of Representatives appropriating
$4,000000 for a magnificent new
building for the Patent office. Of all
the departments Of Washington, the
Patent Office is the only one that pays
it's own way. 1t not only does that
but it turns a large surplus of reve
nue. into the treasury every year. This
surplus now aggregates about SS,00O-
00L, and it is out of this sum that
the 100000 is to be appropriated
for the new building, SO the inventors
of the country are the ones after all
who are paying this bill, because il
is their fees which they pay to the
government when they Apply for q
patent that has accumulated this
large surplus. The inventors are still
keeping up their warfare as they do
not wish to see this bill delayed and
are writing letters to their congress
men and senators urging a prompt
action on this most meritorious bill.

TO CONSTRUCT LEVEE
Joint Meeting of Levee Boards Passes
Resolution.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Donaldsonville. - The semiannual
joint meeting of the Lafourche ami
Atchafalaya Levee Boards was held
here. A resolution was adopted to the
effect that the new levee across the
Bayou Lafourche dam as recommended
by the State Board of Engineers, be
constructed under their direction and
plans and paid for from funds appor-
toned to the two levee boards from
the general engineering fund of the
state. This leaves to the discretion of
the State Board of Engineers the loca-
tion of the levee and all matters ap-
pertaining to its construction.
In the event '~cks ere constructsd d
to replace the dam, they will probably
not be located in the bed of Bayou
Lafourche, hence the new levec will
be permanent work. Its construction
will be proceeded with in the near
future.

MAKE DEMAND ON MEXICO
y. S. Government Orders Prisoners Re.
leased and Soldiers Punished.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington. - Strong representa-
tons, the most drastic in phraseology
that have been made since the pres.
ent American administration came
into power, were made to the Huerta
government In Mexico.
The United States government de-
mands not only the prompt arrest.
court martial and punishment Of the
Mexican federal soldiers who shot
Charles B. Dixon, an American i'm
migration officials at Juarez, Mex.
but the immediate release of Charles
Bissell and Bernard Mcdonald, mining
managers, imprisoned by federal SOL
diers at Chihuahua City and said to
be threatened with execution.
So serious were these incidents re-
garded in official circles that they
overshadowed largely the theoretical
consideration of the policy which the
visit Of Ambassador Henry Lane Will
son has brought to a climax. The am
bassador himself was so exercised over
the developments in Mexico that he
dictated two strong kilograms, one to
the embassy at Mexico City and the
other to the American consul at Jua-
rez, and while Secretary Bryan slight
ly modified their tone, they were ap-
proved and promptly dispatched.
The demand that the soldiers at
Juarez be court martialed and that the
guilty be punished is a more pointed
request than has hitherto been voiced
by the American government. AL
though Mcdonald, who is Bissel's fel-
low prisoner as chihuahua, is reported
to be an English subject, the demand
for protection covered both individuals
and the American consul at Chihuahua
vas ordered to go the extreme of
precaution to prevent harm from be-
falling the two mining men.

POSSIBILITIES OF AN ACRE
Louisiana Man Shows What Can Be
Done in This State.

Lafayette.-On one-half acre in the
village of Estherwood ]. Kolitz. OF the
kolitz Mercantile Company, is grow
ing, in luxurious profusion, products of
the soil, varying from figs, a tropical
fruit, 10 cabbage a vegetable ordinarily
associated in thought with the growth
of the drearier regions of the North.
Probably nowhere else in the United
States can these two articles from
natures mandatory be found grow
ing side by side, surrounded by such
other varying crops as grapes, pecans,
oranges, peaches, plums, pears. pota-
toes Irish and sweet, horse radishes,
tomatoes, peas and other common gar
den products as are here produced.
What Mr.. Kolitz has done on this
small plan indicates the possibilities
OF the soil. He has obtained these re
suits in his leisure moments, yet sur
rounding Estherwood are many farm.
ers who are buying almost all of the
products he finds so easy to raise.
From his store he sells every day
hundreds of cans of the various arti-
cles above mentioned, which the
farmer could, and had he the training
and a profitable market would grow
for himself.
