An amazing story to the effect that
horse in Grand Cane, recently climb
ed telephone pole, and come down
down again, leaving buggy suspend
ed Is feet in the air. 1t was good even
for that progressive town, but they
must have gotten the dates mixed, and
spoiled a good April fool joke by
springing it too soon. There are sew
eral ways to transmit news, by tele-
phone, telegraph and tellalie, but we
venture not to prognosticate just how
this amazingly astounding story reach
ed the press. The story is doubtless
all right, but we can't exactly figure it
out, just how the horse climbed the
pole, fastened the buggy to the top Of
it, unhitched himself, and sided down
again for the amusement of the popu-
lace. We want our Shreveport con-
temporary that published the fact, to
further elaborate the story. at least to
the extent of telling us whether the
horse was equipped with lineman's
spurs, or just simply hoofed it up the
pole.-Mansfeld Enterprise.

What We Owe Our Children.

All you owe your children is to
equip them properly for life.
You owe them that they may be
born with sound, undiseased bod
les; that they may be trained in
habits that keep one healthy.
You owe them such an education
as shall put at their service the
accumulated knowledge of the
world. You owe them your loyal
love and friendship. That is all.
You do not owe them any moh-
ey. 1t is much better to use your
money yourself than to burden
them with it.
The desire to endow your chill
dren springs from the supersti-
ton, deeply rooted in the world,
that to be released from the ne
cessity of labor is a source of hap.
piness. The contrary is true.
The greatest, surest condition
for happiness is to be so situated
that we have to conquer difficult
ties and make our own way in
the world. There is no content
ment to be compared to thai
which rises from securing the de
sired goods of life by our owl
efforts.
To deprive our offspring of thi'
privilege is to do him the great
est wrong. To leave him enough
money so that he does not hav'
to work is to do him the creates
Injustice. -Guardian-Jo urnal.

Quarantines Out of Date.

Relative to the meningitis scare
in north Louisiana, DIR. Bowling
is opposed to general guarantees.
He points out that the public
health department at Washington
advises against quarantine, and
urges that the patients, be isolat-
ed only and an examination made
to ascertain how the disease was
carried, and then quarantine the
carrier. Guarantees do no good,
says the doctor, except to pro-
vide temporary work for some
people, usually inefficient, and
create debt for the municipality
or parish. With present day
scientific knowledge guarantees
are barbarous and hold the same
relations to health affairs that
mob violence does to common and
civil law. Encourage your peo-
pie in a general clean up of all
premises, stores, streets, public
places, and especially where food
is stored, prepared, served and
sold. Don't neglect sewage dis
posal. True Democrat.

Iron Mountain Railroad to Teach
Practical Farming.
The Missouri Pacific-Iron Noun
tain railroad system, under the
direction of its agricultural de-
partment, is establishing the
most extensive system of DEM
onstration farms to cooperate
with the farmers along its lines
yet undertaken by an American
railroad. The compaoy has al
ready established five large farms
and expects to soon have a sixth
in operation. These farms range
in size from twenty-five to forty
acres, which makes the under
taking the most pretentious yet
inaugurated. Work will be con-
Quoted along the same lines as
the government demonstration
farm work, but will be on a
much larger scale and relatively
more valuable.
At present the farms will be
confined to the tracks of the Iron
Mountain Railroad, three being
in Arkansas and two in louisa
ma. The sixth is to be somewhere
on the company's tracks in south
ern Missouri, the exact location
not having been decided.
All the farms will be under the
general supervision of L. A.
Markham. commissioner of agri-
culture Of the Missouri Pacific
Iron Mountain system. with head
quarters at Little Rock. The
United States Department of Ag-
riculture will cooperate directly
in conducting these farms and
have field agents representing
them, and the state agricultural
colleges of Arkansas and Louis
lana are giving unreserved CO.
operation in directing the expert
ments.
Each farm is to have a resi-
dent manager and each is to be
located along the tracks of the
company's lines in close prox-
unity to a town. The managers
and towns near which the farms
so far established are located are
as follows: G. M. Monroe, Glen
more, La; Tom Andrews, Mer
Rouge, La; j. j. Lowe, Dermott,
Ark; ]. w. Turner, Conway,
Ark, and w. P. O'Neal, Hope,
Ark.
The railroad will continue to
experiment for at least three
years regardless of results, and
if at the expiration of that time
the work has proved as success
full as anticipated, it will be con-
i
tinued indefinitely, and both the
size and the number of the dem
onstration farms will be in
creased. Eventually it is con-
templated to extend the work
into Missouri Pacific territory SO
as to cover the entire Missouri
Pacific-Iron Mountain tracks with
a chain of farms conducted on
modern scientific methods.
The experimental farms will be
strictly modern in all resi- ,ects,
supplied with modern imple-
ments, well stocked and literally
furnished with the best seed pro-
durable. All staple crops, to
gether with forage grasses and
where practicable, fruits ane
vegetables will be grown. Ac
curate crop records and statistics
will be kept, showing the &C st tt

or a pound of cotton, hay or othel

assessed against her husband. Before
leaving her home in the southern
part of the city she had called up
some three or four gentlemen

them to come out to her house and
bring the money down to the station
for her. In each case she met with
a refusal couched in phrases con.
tairing numberless excuses. Finally
she decided that the only way to
act the money to the station and Sc
cure the release of her spouse, would
be to bring it down in her own

In speaking of the agricultural

other cities should remember that
much can be accomplished by send
