COLLINS
F OF $4,000

Philadelphia, Nov. 2s.-Eddie Col
lins, the worlds greatest baseball
player and second baseman of the
champion Athletics, has turned down
an offer of $4,000 to play on one Of
the Federal league clubs for three
years.
In refusing this offer. which is
more than any amount ever offered
a baseball player. Collins showed his
loyalty to his present club.
"Of course that is a great deal of
money for three years work." said
Collins, but I will tell you frankly
that, strange as it may seem, I don't
believe there is any financial offer
that would induce me to leave Connie

of most Of the experts Morris looks

he to defeat Smith and Willard de-
c~isively there is no reason why he

PERSONAL CREDIT FOR FARMERS

Farm and Fireside;
We have become so much interested
in the proposed plans for loans on farm
mortgages that we are in danger, in all
this agitation for rural credits, of for
getting the need of tenant farmers
and small farmers for easier money on
their personal credit. The man whose
farm will not stand anything more in
the way of loan-the settler in the
newer regions, the man who is re-
claiming and restoring patch of run
down land, and the tenant farmer gen.
erally-is in far more need of better
system of credit than is the man whose
farm mortgage would be handled by
the rural national banks if some such
scheme as the Fletcher Bill is adopted,
or by the Government if the ideas of
those who agree with Mr.. Bathrick OF
Ohio win the approval of Congress.
The man who with no mortgageable
farm would like two hundred dollars
with which to build a silo, or fifty dol
lars for breeding animal, or the
money for car of fertilizer or cotton
seed meal, is being forgotten. And
yet the greatest usefulness of the Eu-
ropean system of farmers banks, of
which we hear so much, has been
found in their furnishing of money in
small amounts for proper productive
purposes to poor men on their per-
sonal credit and integrity. To help
those who are already strongest and
leave the weak to help themselves is
to make the rich richer and the poor
poorer And we have had too much
of that already.

to recognize the object of law and
what renders it vital, accounts for
many judicial decisions declaring void

to a principle which judges should
consider well before they endeavor to
interfere with the work of legislators

CHECKING IMPORTATION OF
ILLITERATE FOREIGNERS
Country Review:

Country Review:
The usual clamor of the politicians
and the big corporations which want
ignorant labor because it is cheap and
can be more easily controlled, is being
voiced against pending bill putting
up the bars against illiterate foreign
immigrants. The politicians need the
votes and the corporations need the
cheap labor; hence, the moral welfare
of the nation and the improvement of
our material prosperity are to be sac
rificed to these selfish and ruthless in
terests. In the South, to-day, our
problem of problems is ignorance;
hence, the supreme folly of making
that problem harder by piling hordes
of additional illiterates upon top of
the vast mass of negro and white il.
literates who are already sapping the
vitals of the nation.

COMPLETING THE CANAL.
Buffalo Express:


The annual report of Col. George w.
Goethals for the Isthmian Canal Com
mission has been released for publica-
ton. Some of the events referred to
him in the future tense are now in the
past. For instance, he speaks of the
extension to Oct. / Of the time for
completing the work on one flight of
locks and Of the plan for blowing up
the Gamboa dixie on Oct. 10. The locks
were completed at the specified time
and the dixie was blown up as plan
ned. Since then dredges have been at
work removing the dixie and the great
slide at Cucaracha, and one tug has
passed through the canal. At the time
Col. Goethals wrote the channel had
been brought to full depth and to a
bottom width of at least 200 feet
throughout it's length except at the
one point where it was blocked by the
great slide. The passage of CONNER
cial vessels now depends only on the
time when a proper channel can be
dredged through the slides. Col.
Goethals makes no prediction of that
date, but the official opening is planned
for Jan. /, 1915, and apparently that is
allowing ample time unless unfore.
seen trouble occurs.

DETECTIVES SEEKING H. C. BOYD.

BATON ROUGE, La, Dec. 21.-The
Burns Detective Agency to-day was
engaged by Col. Thomas D. Boyd, pres.
ident of Louisiana State University,
to find his son, Henry G. Boyd, who
disappeared from his home Thursday
morning, and operatives tonight join
ed in the search, supplementing the
hundreds of friends, who are keeping
a lookout for the young man between
Baton Rouge and Vicksburg on the
Yazoo and Mississippi Valley Railroad.
The detectives started to work on an
independent clue after a conference
with Col. Boyd and Henry Fuqua, the
boys uncle, tonight. Developments
are expected. The only additional in
formation which has been received by
the searchers came from an engineer
of the Frisco Railroad. He said that
a young man answering to Boyd's de-
scription met his freight train near
the Frisco transfer north of Baton
Rouge Thursday morning and asked
to be allowed to ride to st. Louis. The
request was refused.
1t was also reported by a travelling
salesman that young Boyd had tried
to sell him a revolver in Baton Rouge
the night before the young mans dis

have become more than ever con-
Vinced that the young man is alive.
The theory that he is suffering with

more strong.

easier place and higher salary; the
man who walks the streets with his

carries the baby; and the man who

Meaning of
Conservation,

NO sane mind can question the wis.
dom of conservation. Communities and
regions may continue for years in the
Ienjoyment of a certain resource with.
tout attempting to conserve it. But I'm.
der civilized conditions the seeds of
want are sown when man attempts to
use natural resource without pro.
viding for it's conservation.
Doubters will ask why the individ.
ual citizen of Louisiana should be in.
lterested, for instance, in conserving
the oyster resources of Louisiana. Will
it affect the individual worker and tax
payer? Undoubtedly, and in many
ways. 1t is not necessary that every
one be devotee of oysters to appre-
ciate the benefit of conserving them.
II oysters are scarce, those who like
them will have to pay higher prices
for them, and will have less money,
perhaps, to spend in the line of bust
ness OF some one who has no use for
oysters.
AS surely as the sun rises and sets.
the abundance or scarcity of natural
resources have their influence on in.
dividual prosperity. Real prosperity
in a settled country without conser.
walton is impossible.
The public seldom realizes the ra-
pidity with which resources NAV be
destroyed, or, on the other hand. the
rapidity with which prosperous natu-
raj conditions may be restored by the
introduction of conservation methods.
Nature takes care of herself if permit.
ted sufficient periods of recuperation
after more or less continued demand
on her resources.
While the results of conservation in
any particular instance are not always
obvious, the results of reckless use of
natural resources are never less than
deplorable. Just as some men by the
practice of economy manage with
small income to meet all the essen.
tial demands on their lives, others
with even larger resources are often
in serious want, SO conservation means
