The Hunt for Happiness.


The story that one of our richest
men mas gwen his son $14 1000, 1000 as
a bridal present may arouse envy
among the less fortunate. 1t must
De aumIu1ed tnat this is a gracious
wedding gift. The young couple
starting Out in life have no reason to
complain, but they must remember
that in the hunt for happiness riches
DO not always count, Says the Com
merclal Appeal.
i A man may be considered rich
whose income is more than mis- ex-
penses, and ne is poor whose eX-
penses. exceed his income. Riches
are not an end OF life, but only an in
sIrument of living.
Looking at the above gift from the
point OF view OF those who believe
that money can buy everything, the
young couple nave an ideal start.
fhere is nothing material they can
not buy, but after all, riches exclude
only one inconvenience, and that is
poverty. Happiness cannot be pdr-
cnaseQ. Most rich men are worried
With tneiE wealth Carnegie and
Rockefeller are both indulgenI in their
gifts, and charity. Possibly both are
happy, but there is nO record that
Eney are. Looking at It from the
viewpoint OF philosophy and expert
ence. the start OF the two young peo-
pie is not only ideal, but is something
TO worry over. The things you have
bought and the things you can buy
do not constitute the glowing delights
OF life. Happiness eau only be built
ON virtue, and must OF necessity have
truth for it's foundation.
Riches, though they may reward
virtue, cannot cause 1t, ana the COM
mon tendency of the time when the
world is talking OF tainted money
is that the man who dies rich dies
disgraced. Riches are valuable at all
times and to all men because they al
ways purchase pleasure, but in this
world it is not so much what We
gain as what we give that contrib
utes to our happiness. It was rare
OLD ben johnson VINO declared that
every man is rich of poor, accord
ing to the proportion between his de-
sires and his enjoyments."
After all it is the man VINO works
hard for what he has, who enjoys the
pleasure of anticipation and enjoys
the memory Of achievement, who is
the happiest. The man to whom
everything has been given has neith-
er a past nor a future in happiness.
Pernaps the young people who have
received this generous gift may be
an exception to the general rule, but
it Stands to reason that the man who
has to labor to live, who has some
thing to accomplish, is the happiest.

Second Crop Rice for Stock Feed.

says the Country Review.
Dr. W. R. Dodson, dean of the
college of agriculture of the Louisi-
ana State University and director of
the state experiment stations. re-
plles to the inquiry as follows:
There is no exact data available
In regard to the second crop of rice
Tor stock feed; in fact. the crop and
The quality of grain are so variable
1t has been difficult to determine
what might be average conditions. I
have known of instances where as
many as six bags of rice have been
harvested from the second crop. For
instance, Mr.. Morgan, who formerly
owned a plantation twenty miles
above New Orleans, secured on all
his early paintings a second crop of
rice averaging six sacks, for which
ne received very good price about
tour years ago. I have number of
times heard Simon Leblanc, now de-
ceased, state he had seen a second
crop Of rice harvesting and thresh-
ing. I have seen a great many fields
Judged would make from four to
SIX bags Of good rice. I should Judge
that where four bags can be secured
it would pay to cut it; where less
than that is promised it might be
cut for hay. Coming from New Or
leans to Baton Rouge last week I
saw number of fields where the
second crop of rice will be ripe enough
to harvest within week On the
Southern Pacific the early party of
last week saw a field where the
second crop of rice was being har-
vested, and I judged it would make
not less than five bags to the acre.
1T is a very common practice to
cut the second crop of rice for hay.
In southwest Louisiana the second
crop is frequently cut for hay and
fed not only to cattle, but to horses
during the winter. I have known OF
no i'll effects from feeding it. DR..
J. F. Mattel, formerly of Crowley,
and others in that vicinity have stat
ed to me they would practically
maintain their horses during the win
ter months ON the grain and straw
of second crop rice and on volunteer
red rice The rice grain makes good
feed for horses and mules. DR.. w.
II. Dalrymple has a bulletin giving
the results of some experiments at
this station on feeding whole rice,
which showed good results.
my advice, therefore, would be to
cut ahe rice coming on as second
crop and where the grains are well
enough filled to make it marketable
to thresh it, and where the grains
may be light Or danger OF frost may
make cutting necessary before full
maturity is reached, use it for hay"

shall We Have War with Mexleo2

Those effusive patriots whom some
one so happily described as ssinvin-
chile In peace and invisible in war, :
are playing already upon the soft
pedal now that the prospect seems
to be more real OF being able to
transmute their truculent language
into actual deeds of valor. The pres
ident deserves the commentator OF
patriotic men for the infinite patti
ence and wisdom he has manifested
in dealing with one OF the most diff
cult international problems ever pre-
sented in the history of American
diplomacy. Any brute may rush in
and spank a WayWard, Wilful child
into submission, but it requires the
highest type Of leadership to secure
willing acQuiesceace by the exercise
of patience, firmness and justice. Il
forcible Intervention shall become

have the supreme satisfaction of re-
flecting that every resource of pa
tience and justice had been exhaust
ed without avail before extreme
measures were reluctantly resorted
to.-Country Review.

A Boomerang Advertisement.

An argument in favor of patroniz-
ing home industry is to be found in
one Of the farm journals an adVer-
tiseanenf Of one. OF the largest mali
order houses in Chicago. The adVer-
tisemenn is embellished with pic
ture Of the plant OF the big mail-or-
der concern, and the caption is,
s'The House That You Built Here,
in five words, is the best possible
demonstration of the evil Of buying
from mail-order houses, from the
standpoint of the farmer or anyone
else who is interested in building
up his own community.
The home merchant can back up
away from home is consciously en-
pointing out that the resident of his
town Or county who sends money
his own arguments on this score by
abling big buildings and expensive
plants to be maintained hundreds of
miles away. There is no getting
away from it; the mail-order house
says SO itself.
This step by this mail order house
seems to be far in advance of any
thing ever done in an advertising
way by such concerns. The adj
vertisement is well equipped with
''backfire. It goes to farmers and
as they gaze upon it and realize that
the dollars earned by the sweat of

up this monster structure, when they
should have stayed at home to help
lower their taxes. they will not be
