Nome, Alaska.-The coming Of the
white man is effecting slow revo1u-
ton in the lives of the Alaska eski-
mos, especially those who spend the
warm months at Nome. These Eski-
mo, who live on a beach all summer,
have already picked up many Of the

white mans food and wear some of
his clothes. They are still very dirty,
however, love blubber and all fat as

There were strong indications that

the government at Washington was
going to wreck things beyond the pos

Hetty Green hadn't saved a cent.

A CHALLENGE TO GERMANY
DeIcasse's Appointment to st. Peters
burg and Big Increase in French
Army Taken as Defiance.

LondOn.-In the present critical sit
uation in European politics, France,
Germany, England and Russia are all
watching each other to see which
takes the first step.
A British diplomat, discussing the
elements impaired to the situation by
the accession of Poincare to the
French presidency, said:
ut is admitted by all who are &C.
acy in Europe that the coming Of
Poincare has put more electricity into
the Franco-German situation than
there has been in many years. The
appointment of Delcasse, who has an
avowed partisan policy, as ambassa-
dor to st. Petersburg, and the in
creasing of Frances army constitute
nothing less than direct challenge to
Germany, the answer to which has
not yet been given and which, when
it comes, may stagger the world with
it's suddenness.
"That Germany, which insisted on
the dismissal of Delcasse from the
cabinet in 1906 as result of the
Moroccan imbroglio, giving the
French the alternative of war, should
now eat humble pie in the face of this
open defiance from the head Of the
republic, is at the present moment"
the diplomatist said, "a matter Of
undisguised amazement to all the
chancellories Of the world. Indeed,
never within the last ten years, not
even in the Moroccan crisis, has a
war been nearer

PROCLAMATION BY THE MAYOR

st. Francisville, La, Sept. 26, 1913.
To the Citizens of st. Francisville, La:
We are now approaching the season
of the year when fires are more num-
erous than at any other time of the
year. II. has been estimated that the
fire loss of this country amounts to
lover a quarter of a billion dollars an
nually, and these fires are mostly due
to carelessness and preventable causes.
Therefore |, A. B. Briant, Mayor of
the Town of st. Francisville, State of
Louisiana, do issue this my proclama-
ton, naming October 9th as fire pre-
vention day
earnestly urge all citizens of the
community to cooperate with the Off
Gals of the town by the removal of all
rubbish, trash and waste from their
premises; that all fiues and heating
apparatus be inspected,
To further facilitate the cleaning of
premises where the owner has no team,
l will have the town cart to pick up
trash.

USES FOR SURPLUS CORN.

Has it occurred to our Louisiana
farmers that with the raw material at
hand for producing eorn-fed beef and
pork, sufficient to supply the needs of
our State, we are paying more for i'm
ported beef and pork than the entire
value of our corn crop each year?
The appalling extravaganza practic-
| ed in slaughtering young cattle, par.
ticularly- heifer calves, should be stop
| ped. Every farmer should make it a
point to raise and fatten for market
one steer or more each year.
An economic question is here in
volved which has not only to do with
present profits, but with the eonserv-
| ing of the fertility of our SOIL
| 1t has been brought to our attention
| by Mr.. Mason Snowden of the Federal
Farm Demonstration Department that
there is scarcely grocery store in our
State but is selling meal and grits
made of western corn when, within
the next few weeks our planters will
be seeking market for their surplus"
corn. -
| Every locality which has been prov
en- a surplus corn producing territory,
[should have sufficient local pride and
business aeumen to form a meal and
grits milling company, and supply tho
local and district trade with Louisiana
made meal and grits.
The low percentage of moisture In
well matured Louisiana corn will per-
nit much of it to be ground without
artificial drying, and to offset the eff
feet of the humidity of our climate on
stored corn, small drying plants can
now be built and maintained at low
cost.
For several weeks we have been
making an effort to secure list of
Louisiana growers of pure bred seed
and live stock. We believe that the
progressive farmer who has, through
his own experience and the teaching
of Federal and State instructors,
Learned the economy of growing tho
roughbred" instead of scrub" pro-
ducts, should recognize it as a duty to
pass these products on to his fellow
Louisiana farmers, especially when he
lean secure a premium price for SO -
21f-lest one Hundred million Amterf
can people are suffering because the
farmer has been slow in learning these
lessons.

WEST FELIciANA SUNDAY
SCHOOL CONVENTION.


A fairly good report was published
last week of the convention OF parish
Sunday Schools, held at the Methodist
Church, but the following account from
a member of the executive committee
is so spirited that we publish it with
pleasure for the good that it will do!
Mrs. A. S. Mitchell, of Wilhelm,
writes:
"The West Feliciana Parish Conven-
ton was held in st. FrancisYille, Sept.
23rd and oath. Much profitable work
was attended to and several instruc-
tive addresses were given.
While the attendance was not sc
large in point OF number, the WORK
done and the spiritual influence per
vading the convention were great.
"The election of Prof Bliss, OF st
Francisville, as president for our next
year has insured the success of any
and all undertakings Of his committee
Three wards asked for the mex
Parish Convention, which shows tht
interest taken was real.
"All were unanimous in proclaiminl
this the best convention ever held il
our parish.
Keep your eyes on West Felfcian
for we are wide awake and expect t
do great things.

Some
Reasons
| Why Not

There are many reasons why the
small merchant should not sit back
and let the mail order houses take
the cream of his out of town trade
One Of them is the parcel post, ser
vice. Under the zone system OF pos
tai rates every merchant within the
limits of his own territory may now
develop mail order business on his
own account. He can ship goods
much cheaper and much more expe-
ditiously. than any concern outside
his district.
Every merchant should at once
begin an educational campaign OF
advertising, teaching the people
/ within reach Of his influence that
! it is less expensive, quicker and in
! finitely more satisfactory to make
! their purchases near home than to
/ send elsewhere.

ly,the ruts and holes and uneven places
in the road to see whether they make
it easier or harder for the wheels Of a
loaded wagon to so along. Study the
kind of footing that the two roads give
to the horses.
Now, study the same stretches of
road after good rain-storm. You will
see that one road holds small puddles,
or pools, of water that keep the road
soft and SO allow it to be cut up by the
wheels of the wagons and the hoofs of
the horses. How do road builders keep
water from gathering Oh the travelled
way OF road? Should the road slope
to the side bitches? How much high
er should the center, or crown, of the
road be than the outside edges Of the
road? Why do good bitches at the
side Of the road help make the center
of the road better for hauling? What
happens when bitches get full Of rub
bish or weeds? When a ditch along a
road holds water or collects it into
pools, how does this injure the road?
Using a Drag on Earth Roads.
Have you ever seen homemade
road drag? It is made by splitting in
two a log six or eight inches in thick
ness and about six or eight feet long.
The two halves of the log are set three
feet apart with their smooth faces for
ward and upright They are fastened
together with braces. A pair OF horses
are hitched to chain fastened to the
! front half of the log. Should these
logs be drawn straight down the road,
or should it be dragged at a slant SO
! that a little of the loose earth will
slide toward the center of the road?
Should the dragging be started next
| to the ditch, Or at the center of the
road? Should you drag the whole road
in one way, or drag each half of it in
an opposite direction? Should the
dragging be done when the road is
dry, or after it has rained? A good
strong pair or horses with a well built
drag can drag about three or four
miles of road in day. What would it
cost a farmer to drag four miles of
road? How would he be repaid for the
cost of his labor?
Remember, children, you are not to
answer these questilaInls as il you were
lare to think about the answers and
ask people for information and watch
people actually working on roads, and
then write composition that will be
/ just the same as If you were writing
a letter to a friend, telling him, or her
how they made the earth roads neal
you better, and kept it from getting
full of holes, ruts, and puddles.
