THE BRIGHT SIDE OF LIFE.
Parish Superintendent

The ills of life are ne'er so bad
But that they worse could be;
Some others lot is still more sad
Than yours can ever be.
Don't tremble at some unseen foe,
BY tickle fancy wrought;
Strong faith will lay the giant low
And bring your fears to naught.
Don't fill the heart with needless griel
Ger trifles light as air;
No sorrow is beyond relief
Fen sparrows are Gods care.
Don't gather troubles as you're led
Along life's rugged way;
Close by the pathway you must tread
Blooms heartsease bright and gay.
Don't think the world a dreary place
And filed with naught but pain;
Misfortune meet with smiling face
The wheel will turn again.
Don't crowd with selfish thoughts TIT
mind
Nor shroud the soul in doubt;
Do what you can to help mankind
Ere life's dim light goes out.
With trust in God and faith in man
Ride strongly in the race;
IT'S they who run the best they can
Win trophies Of the chase.

ACTIVITY AT NORWOOD.

The writer spent a few hours in Nor.
wood, during the early part of the
week, and was agreeably surprised to
note the industrial activity of that
hustling little village.
| Norwood, as every one knows, was
the scene of the pioneer movement in
the trucking industry in Louisiana.
The movement soon assumed large pro-
portions and became the mainstay OF
the community after the appearance
of the boil weevil This year, in or
der to protect themselves against bum
| per crops and declining markets, a
stock company was organized and a
canning plant erected. This came just
in the nick of time, for, on account OF
the blight. the tomato crop was not
good for shipment, though it did very
well for canning purposes.
The plant of the Norwood Canning
L Manufacturing Co. was put into OPP
Grafton on June /, and has been work
ing full time ever since. From forty
to one hundred persons are given en-
ployment, as the volume of produce de-
manded. The daily output varies from
5000 to 1850 cans, and to date over
250,000 cans have been put up.
At present tomatoes and fig jam are
being canned Beans were put up dur
ing the early part of the run, and later
biackberries. 1t is significant to learn
that $1,000 in cash was paid out in
Norwood this summer for blackberries
alone for the cannery. Okra-and-toma-
toes and okra are also being put up
for the market. Later large business
will be done in putting up sweet pota-
toes. 1t is thought the Norwood coun-
TRY will produce enough sweet pota-
toes to keep the plant in operation till
some time in December.
A ready market is found for all the
product of the cannery and good prices
prevail 1t is impossible to supply the
demand on some articles and none are
slow in selling. The different brands
OF goods are sold direct to the jobbers
in carload lots.
1t is refreshing to know that there
is at least one community in this Sec
ton where the people have found a
way out of bad situation, and that
the people of Norwood are being re-
paid for their energy in diversifying
their crops.
The Norwood Canning & Manufac-
turing Co. is good model of work
| ing object lesson of what can be done
in the Felicianas when the people are
aroused to the necessity or desirabili-
| ty of making the most of the opp0r-
tunities at hand.
The writer also had the pleasure Of
paying a visit to the plant of the Nor
wood Pepper Manufacturing Co., which
was in operation. The function of this
plant is to take the red pepper, as it
comes from the field, dry it in steam
kilns, and grind it, after which it is
marketed as good grade of capsicum.
Between sneezes, the writer learned
that upwards of two hundred acres of
land around Norwood were cultivated
| in red peppers this year, and that the
manufactured product finds ready
market. If cultivated properly, good
money can be made in growing ride
peppers.
The process of manufacturing pep
| per is fascinating, and it is agreeable
| to learn that the venture is a success.
| This plant furnishes another lesson
as to the opportunities abundant in the
Felicianas.

The high school room was well filled
last Friday evening with an admiring
audience when the Latin students gave
their Roman program. The different
scenes were well enacted and the Latin
speech seemed to come as easily TO
each one as their own language. This
performance seemed to us excellent
training for the young people.

day for the automobiles. Although
the wind was trifle cool, the sun was
nice and bright and the roads in fairly
good condition. We will have to take
a day off and count the machines own

lost the number last year when they
came so thick and fast and there are
already many more this season.

committee to go to Lansing and do
what they could towards securing the

are given the committee with the as
snrance that Yale will have two of the
proposed roads If the bill passes as
amended.

his career and assured his greatest victory. He

him and his escort for the foe The wound was
in the left and he was taken to the rear
and later had the arm amputated While he was
being borne away in little after being wounded
one of the litter-b bearers stumbled and fell and
the wound was possibly aggravated by this jar.
What really caused his death. however was that
