OF The EARTH'S BEST
CLERGYMAN DEFINES THE MAN
WHO IS A GENTLEMAN.
May "Go Wrong" for a Time, but 10
the End He Is "on the Square,"
and Friendship With Him
Is a Privilege.

When asked, not long ago, to give
his idea of "a gentleman" noted
clergyman said:
OF one thing l am assured, namely
that he will never be ashamed OF MS
origin and that he will studiously re-
fuse to pretend he is anything except
what he is. He will be conspicuous
for pity, always doff his hat to ruin,
be chivalrous to woman, whether
young or old, beautiful or plain, noble
or ignoble, just because she Is a
woman. Also l am convinced that
while the perfect gentleman Will De
deferential to his mental superlors'
recognizing talent, wherever II may
be found, he will pay respect to social
differences with absolute ease, as su-
premely unimportant, preserving the
while his entire independence, OF whlch
no one on Gods earth can ever rob
him. The gentleman is accustomed TO
accommodate his pace to the weakest,
to arrange his conversation according
to the capacity and interest OF his au-
dience. to give without comforting the
wound of an obligation, to use hos
pitality without grudging, to be care
less of visiting list, and ever to keep
his door on the latch, so that 1t may
easily be pushed open by the stranger
or even by the criminal, who finds
city of refuge at his hearth and In his
heart.
The true gentleman belongs to the
world and is never insular, which Is
only another form Of self-conscious-
ness, but whatever his nation, he Is
morally a polyglot and talks the Ian
guage of humanity. You will find him
without exception on the side of the
weak, and ready to shiver lance for
the oppressed and the degraded, or
those who have been ostracised by
the world.
The gentleman Is a person whom
you never notice when he is In a room,
and never forget when he is gone, and
no one Is 30 much missed, though no
one desires to be SO less. He under
stands like no other being on earth,
says the right thing, though oftener
still preserves silence, as the case may
require, and always carries about with
him a sense of comfort and livable-
Witness which is unique.
Strange. as it may seem to the thick
skinned and unsensitive, the gentle
man may be as wild as hawk and
may get into messes of various sorts
but, unlike many who claim to tread
the path of virtue, his soul is never
blackened by underhandedness or
scheming. He would not marry q
woman for her money, make display
Of what he may happen to possess, tell
q lie except to shield a womans honor,
slander his neighbors. engage in con-
versation which is even questionable,
cheat, whether on a large or small
scale; In fact, indulge in falsity of any
kind. He is infinitely gentle and re-
firing, utterly masculine, in the best
sense of that word, and always courte-
GUS. He may "go wrong"-gentleman
have been known to-but to the end
he is ION the square," inwardly hank
ering after God"

early potatoes for planting in practic-
ally all regions of the Northwest 1t
is not quite as early as some others,
but it is potato that always is we'll
received on the market.
With two hundred and forty active
members, the Pacific Northwest Live
stock association last year exhibited
2S00 animals at its December shows
held at Lewiston, Idaho. Secretary
S. B. Nelson reports the present men,
bership of the association as 500; and
with the increase in membership and
strength of the Livestock association,
and the increasing interest in livestock
production in mind, believes that at
the stock show the coming December,
no less than four thousand animals
will be exhibited.
In winter, cream is very difficult to
churn because of the small and hard
fat globules, low temperatures, sweet
cream, and possibly thin cream. When
cows are far advanced in their lacta-
tion period, the globules become hard
er and when churned do not stick to-
gether easily. Cream held at low tenn.
peratures previous to churning makes
quick churning impossible. l woulG
suggest that if you have cream sep
arator you separate about 35 pei
cent cream. BY the use of a starter
ripen this at temperature of about
75 degrees for six to eight hours
Then cool down between 55 and 60 de-
grees and churn in the ordinary way
This ought to bring the butter il
about 35 to 40 minutes. Feeding /,
few roots may change the character Of
the fat to some extent and facilitat,
churning.
The practice of raising crop ever,
year has been followed on the expert
ment station farm at Pullman, Wash
ington, for number of years. Ou
rainfall is on the average about 2;
inches. With rainfall of 16 to Il
inches summer following seems t,
give better results. We do not follow
any definite system of rotation. TIL
crops grown on the farm consist o
alfalfa for 6 or years, frequentl,
followed by corn. Clover is ais
grown for three years, when the lam
is plowed up and corn is planted. w
can raise field peas followed by whea
with excellent results. Afterward
corn or oats may be grown on thi
field. / think good rotation where i
could be followed would consist of re-
clover three years, corn one year
wheat one year, oats one year. How
ever, our conditions are such that W.
have not yet been able to follow thi
rotation regularly.
If you have grown alfalfa on thi
land for three years, it would ordinar
lily be waste of fertilizer to appl,
any commercial material at the pres
ent time.

Huerta May Decide TO Release Brito

New Orleans States: If the trans
pOrtatiOn of mails i'll southern Mex
leo were not such a slow process,
Governor Manuel Castillo Brito, u
Campechc, would not now be in the
parish prison awaiting action Oh
Mexlco's application for his extra
dition, according TO statement
given to the States Tuesday by Pc
dro Castillo Pascual, first cousin of
the revolutionary leader. PascuaI
was a special peace commissioner
sent to Campeche by Huerta's min
lister Of war, General Banquet, TO
treat with the governor when he
was still at the head of his troops.
A satisfactory adjustment was
made when the cousins met in Cam
peche and Don pascuaI made a re
port to his government. II is now
believed that this report is still en-
route to the Mexican capital. 1t has
been supplemented by another sent
from New Orleans, which is thought
to have been received by the Huerla
government. A reply is expected
daily.
When the Mexican authorities see
the Pascual report, it is said, Gov
ernor Britos release vii! follow. He
has offered terms 10 the federal
leaders which, in the light Of re
cent rcvcrses in the field and III
Washington, the Huerta advisers
will accept, his friends say.
Governor Brito strenuousIy OBJ
jects to giving up the gubernatorial
chair to which he was elected by a
sweeping majority. The citizens of
Yucatan and Tabasco are said to be
OF the same mind with regard to the
governors they elected. The three
states are standing firmly for their
constitutional rights.

WHO'S WHO AND WHY?
Where Were Our Representatives?
Probably Shreveport They Had
Not in Their Mind.

There has been an unintentiona
discrimination against Shreveport
at least this is a conservative view
of serious ignoring Of Shreveport
in the proposed distribution of th'
$50O00,O00 which Secretary Of the
Treasury McAdoo proposed to place
on deposit in the South for the ac-
celeration of the movement of the
crops.
In the list of allotment is Vicks-
burg and Meridian, Miss. New Or
leans is listed for Louisiana, but
Shreveport is no less important
than New Orleans. In sense
Shreveport covers the greatest ter
ritory embracing large section OF
Arkansas and Texas, Middle and
North Louisiana, and therefore
should be entirely independent OF
New Orleans.
1t is surprising that our repre-
sentatives in Congress were not
awake to the Importance of secur-
ing Shreveport as depository for
its portion of this money. Possibly
this neglect may be due to too much
sugar or to some other causes not
explained or explainable.
However, the neglect of our rep
resentatives may be overcome
through Lieutenant Governor T. C.
Barret and State Senator L. r.
Smith, who have been delegated by
the Chamber of Commerce and the
varied commercial interests Of
Shreveport to submit to Secretary
of the Treasury McAdoo what in ali
fairness should be done and we be-
lieve will be done for this city and
these sections of the country whose
reliance for funds for moving their
crops is on Shreveport.

"Tlle Girl Must Suffer"

The chief of pittsburg's police re
Gently received note saying:
BY the time you get this l will be
in the river. My life has been ruinct
by man we'll known. Men get of
easy, but the girl must suffer"
He hurried All officer to the place
where the writer said she intended
to jump from high bridge, but toe
late. A moment before the officer
arrived young girl had climbed te
the railing and dived overheard. Her
body was not recovered. Her name
is unknown.
Yes, alas, "men get off easy" That
man, for instance. Well known he
may be, but not for the treachery
which sent this poor girl into the
sheltering depths. Perhaps we'll
known for his gifts to charity, fo1
his attendance at church, for his
prominence in the activities of bus
mess. Perhaps we'll known as a
husband and father. He had amused
himself for a time with a pretty hui
man toy, had feigned the arts of a
lover to satiate a selfish passion, and
then, boy-like, tired of the pastime,
had thrown her aside. She lies
somewhere in the rivers sweep,
cold and stark. But he goes on his
way untroubled. Verify, the girl
must suffer.
And it pains us to say that it has
always been SO and that we very
much fear it will be so to the end.
For woman, the matrix Of the
race, the one in whose soft body,
close to whose warm heart, all the
children of the race must find their
way into the world, lies by natures $
fiat under this special condition,
that for that unique function, with
its tremendous import to the fu-
ture, she must guard jealously her
honor, her fitness for motherhood.
Met get off easy" yes, because
happily the percentage OF women
who can be cheapened, even de-
ceived, is small.
Men would 60 down to swift racial
ruin, uncheered by offspring, never
knowing the pride Of fatherhood,
unwept, unhonored, unsung, if it
were otherwise.
And yet, to make the girl do all
the suffering frankly isn't fair. We
ought, as professedly Christian
society, to order it otherwise; to ac-
eept the splendid challenge of Eu-
gene Y. Debs, who took into his
home an erring sister rejected Of
others.
We ought, but when will we?

In my report of the Ruston meet

ago, | said that it was large, very
large, and a highly representative
gathering
Again | remarked: Ask any Of the

would answer: well, the speeches
We're good s.speeches. Aswell's the
best oratorically; Broussard's, Rams
dell's and Pujo's Republican all

~ Democratic effort of the day.
Said another observer, in relation to
Democratic principles: ut is not
what national Democracy needs, in
the way Of democracy, but it is what
we Louisianians want"
Just so, I then observed, "and
there can be no mistaking the fact
that the Honorables Ransdell, Pujo
and Broussard, the last two fresh
from deserting the Democratic
party and going over to Cannon,
were explicitly candid
"'They told the crowd, without
mincing words, they would do again
what they had done, and that the
crowd would take them or leave
them alone.''
At the same spot in 1913, and On a
Fourth Of July, this same crowd,
only smaller, met to denounce Mr..
Ransdell, the man they deliberately
selected and on his own terms, to
represent them in the United States
Senate.

This sale is to be effected in con-

BOssler Parish. The sales price is
$4,000, which is to be divided be-
tween the City of Shreveport and
the Parish Of Bossier. The policy
of the city parting with its interest
IN the bridge has always been a
question, especially at the price
named. The city could not have
been dispossessed of its interest but
could have joined the v. S. & P. in
the construction of a modern bridge

trians and vehicuIar traffic as well
