That when I'm called away
And quit this earthly vale,
No one who lives shall say:

His money this thing bought"
Yet such | shall not need

In honest striving lies,
And, though | fail and
A losing fight have fought,

Insuring bank Deposits.

From the Philadelphia Record.
The latest device that has been in
troduced into the currency bill by the
senatorial tinkers is a very modest
scheme for insuring the deposits in
the regional reserve banks. After .
per cent dividends and the accumu-
lation of 90 per cent. reserve, three
fourths of the profits are to go to the
redemption of the per cent. bonds
and one-fourth to the insurance of
the deposits in the regional banks.
This is not very Objectionable pro-
posal, nor a very important one. II
Is a small thing compared With the
guaranteeing of deposits that has
been proposed al various times and
tried in a State or two. Certainly 1t
Is not desirable to make depositors
Indifferent to the character of the
men in whose banks they make de-
posits by assuring them of safety in
any case. Particularly is this not de-
sirable when it can be accomplisbe ed
only by making sound banks pay the
losses of reckless ones. The guarin-
teeing of bank deposits by all Inc
banks acting mutually puts a pre-
MUM on bad banking and imposes a
penalty on good banking.
That objection does not apply to
this plan for using small part of
the profits of the regional reserve
banks to insure their deposits. The
deposits will be made by the member
banks. which will be represented on
the directories of the regional banks.
In fact, the member banks will name
two-thirds of the directors, though
only one-third will be officers of mem
Der banks. 1t is really mutual in
surance scheme by banks in a posi-
ton to regulate risks incurred by the
regional bank.
But this is only the proposition of
a subcommittee, and each additional
feature annexed will increase the diff
ficulty of getting the bill through the
Senate, and every change made by
the Senate will increase the difficulty
of getting the bill through the House.
1t seems to be hardly worth while
at this late day to seek to incorpo-
rate in the bill experiments of more
or less dubious character, which are
not very likely to be promptly as
scented to, and which, therefore, are
are almost certain to cause delay in
the enactment of the bill

OPINIONS AND VIEWS FROM

How Wars Changed Our History.

How Wars Changed Our History.
From Leslie's Weekly.
The possibility of having trouble
with Mexico calls attention to the vast
influence which wars have had on the
history and development of the Uni
ted States. To the War of Indepen-
dence we are indebted for the separa-
ton of 1776-S3 from England and our
advent as a nation. Our commercial
independence dates from the second
conflict with England, that of 1925.
Texas annexation in 1S45 brought on
the war of 1S46-4S with Mexico and
this resulted in the addition of New
Mexico and California. The war of
1S61-65 transformed the government
from league into nation, and made
it an "indestructible union of indie
structible States" while that of 1885,
which freed Cuba, expelled Spain from
this hemisphere and extended our ter
ritory over to the border of Asia,
made us. in the jargon of the day, a
world power

MRS. FRANK n. BoUDoUsQUIE.

Tie death of Mrs. Frank N. BOu-
dousauie, following short year o1
very happy married life, was Sc
we're blow to her many friends IN
Covilgton. As Miss Helen Ratio; be-
fore her marriage, she mingled with
the younger social set in Coyington
be'E 3 prominent in all the entertain
mems and theatricals by reason OF
her fine voice and acting. Probably
no singer has met with greater popu-
larity here, while her fine social
qualities and happy disposition made
her a general favorite. Her marriagi
with Mr.. Frank Boudousquie seemed
a natural sequence of their being
thrown together in SO many perform
ances on the stage in parts which sug-
gested the known affection which they
had for each other, and their mar
riage was considered to be a most
app opriate and happy one. She viii
be remembered for her ready willing
ness to contribute to the success of all
cha: table and civic entertainments
and the beautiful voice that is stilled
will echo in the memory of her many
friends.
Mrs. Boudousquie came he-e from
New Orleans about five years ago, Of
which city she was native, and had
rested here since that tine. She,
died at the Tcurou Infirmary in New
Orleans, on Wednesday, August IT.
1913, at 6:15 p. M, after q very
serious operation, following the best
attention that could be OBJ
tained in Covington. The funeral
took place Thursday following, in.
.erment being made in Metarie Gem
stery in that city. She bore her suf-
tering with the greatest fortitude
Ind patience and with christian spirit.
She is survived by her husband,
mother, and three sisters, Mrs. Leo
,old Jansen, Mrs. Albert Santana,
md Miss Angelo Ratio, and brother.

MENTING.
THE NEW GRAIN
IS MAIZE Ill
Looking to the Enactment Of Hog
Law in st. Tammany
Parish.

Maize Hi.
Have you ever heard or it?
Some time ago Mr.. "A. B. Prude1
secured from the United States De
partment Of Agriculture a peculiar
kind Of corn, bearing in place of a
tassel bunch of bead like grains
about the size of barley. We i'm.
agine the grain would analy.e some
what the same as rice. At all events
1t is relished by both stock and chick
ems and makes an excellent general
feed. Mr.. Pruden planted one and a
half acres, which gave him yield
Of two tons OF grain. The tops are
cut when the first grain forms, after
which 1t forms shoots at the base
Of the leaves, just as ears of corn
form, and new tassel Of this grain
appears, as many as eight to the stalk
Mr.. G. U. Chalaron, ON the A. Fl.
Clement place, has procured some of
this seed from Mr. Pruden and will
also put in crop of it. He Is fa-
miliar with its worth as feed, hay-
ing formerly lived in Honduras.
where It is OF native growth. IS
Mr.. Pruden has some very fine hogt
and has given some attention and
study to the needs of this section in
the matter Of hog-raising. He be-
Heves that much better results would
be obtained If hogs were kept on a
range where they could be under
constant supervision, and where they
would receive the attention called ffor
by special study of their individual
requirements. Under such conditions
he believes hog-raising would be sue
cessful and profitable. He is there
fore in favor Of hog law which
would require fencing in of hogs, ire
venting their running at large. An
other effect Of this hog law. which
Is quite important in the economical
management of farm, is the great
reduction in the cost of feucing. It
costs much more to build hog-proof
fence than it does one that will simp-
~ keep out stock. So law
would not only be of benefit to the
hog-raiser, but it would lessen the
expenses of the average farme-. This
plan has proved satisfactory wherever
in vogue, and We believe its adoption
would give satisfaction here. It will
come, sooner or later.
