Suggestions for Mr.. Parish.


Shreveport, La, May 20, 1913.
Editor CoUar Chronicle:

ed before Christmas, 1912, and

Cameron DIR. Dodd, DR.. Jones,

Claus, they would help him if he

ligious life.

Milton's Paradise Lost, and scores

profitable or simply pleasing for
the passing moment.

"Opie Read" "The Outlook, I"
THE Britannica Series" and a
few other standard literary
works. From them he can get
extensive knowledge of religion,
free trade, high tariff, single tax,
good roads, woman's suffrage,
the school question, the whisky
question, and a hundred other
questions agitating the public
mind. He can get some insight
into the question as to how about
twenty million farmers are try

lion people of this great nation;
and how in some quarters the
chambers of commerce and bank
ers have induced some of the peo-
pie of the crowded centers of
population to go out on the farm
lands, build school houses and
churches and good roads. and are
now raising plenty to eat and in
