PENNY WISE AND POUND
FOOLISH"

There can be no greater mistage that
business man can make than to be mean
in business. Everything has head the
proverb Of penny wise and pound fool
ish A liberal expenditure in the way OF
business is always sure to be capital
Investment. There are people in the
world who are short-sighted enough to
believe that their interest can be best
promoted by grasping and clinging to all
they can get and never letting a cent slip
through their fingers.
As general thing it will be found,
other things being equal, that he who is
most liberal is most successful in bust
ness. OF course we do nUt mean it to
be inferred that man should be prod
igal in his expenditures; but that be
should show his customers, If he Is a
trader, or those whom he may be going
any kind of business with that in all his
business transactions, as well as social
relation, he acknowledges the everlasting
fact that there can be no permanent
prosperity or good feeling in a comnun-
ity where benefits are not reciprocal

THE INDEPENDENT MAN.

The Daily Times is glad to note that
many Of the newspapers of Southwest
Louisiana are now advocating the cult
walton Of more corn, something it has
been persistently preaching for the past
two years. The Kinder Gazette is the
lstest publication to take the matter up
editorially and makes the following fine
point:
Zone of our Kinder merchants puts
the truth in nutshell. He says the
farmer who has crib full of home
grown corn is the independent man, for
he has his milk, butter, eggs, meat, lard,
feed and corn bread That is the whole
truth expressed in a few words. And
the Gazette believes there will be an in
creasing number of farmers who will
thus provide for themselves in the next
and succeeding years"
The sooner the farmers Of Calcasieu
and other parishes in Louisiana begin
raising not only what they need to eat,
but what they need for feed, the sooner
the day will arrive when the ru.al resi-
dent of this state will be able to pro-
claim himself the most independent in
dividual on earth.--L. c. Times.

PORT ARTHUR'S LAST TRIBUTE.

Editor Roy Stump, of the Port Ar
thur News, pays the following tribute
to the late Charley Gates:
In the death of Charles G. Gates Port
Arthur as city feels loss greater than
is experienced by the average town IN
the death of its leading citizen and chief
financier. Too aften the leading citizen
and chief financier is grabbed grasping
and vindictive. He has left the marks
of his advancement in wounds on the
hearts of his fellow citizens. He has
achieved priority and wealth by ignor-
ing and tramping on the rights of the
poor, or by dishonorable dealing which
depriver those less able to protect them
selves of things to which they were en-
titleh Charles Gates position as chief
financier of Pert Arthur was not brought
about by any of these means. He was
interested in Port Arthur because he
liked the city for one reason, and for
another and stronger reason because his
father and liked the city and har laid
upon him the duty of carrying out the
parents plan regarding this city. As an
heir to millions. with an income of ire
mendous proportions it was of his own
election that he maintained in Port Ar
thur the degree of interest he has always
shown. There was none of the arros-
ance in his nature that is supposed to go
with great wealth. He was as kindly, as
courteous, as approachable, as consider
able, as smiling TO the poorest citizen as
to his richest business associate. And
with it all he possessed a brilliance Of
business ability that was appreciated in
full by those who knew him even mod
erately well. In business promotions he
was not one to encourage wild ventures;
instead, a proposition, to enlist his sup
port, had to prove up as having real
fundamental worth. But his watchful-
ness in money matters appeared to be
more for the purpose of avoiding invest
ment in propositions, which, for lack of
real worth, might later prove bothersome
in maintenance. He would rather set
some bott- black or newsboy wild with joy
with gift of hundred dollars than to
receive ten times the amount in earnings
from some one of his properties. But,
while generous in his gifts and kindly in
his attitude toward all, the characteristic
which probably more than any other
gained for him the warmest place in the
regard of those who knew him was the
amounting almost to worship,
with which he thought and spoke of his
parents. Two favorite expressions often
on his lips were, "My father was the
best after man ever had and "my
mother is the most wonderful woman in
the world,"A good son; helpful citi-
zen, man who stood by his friends
through thick and thin"

RULES FOR COMPLETE HAPPINESS

After all Is said, written and done,
happiness 10 the one thing that every
body wants and il is something that can
be obtained If the people will but fol-
low the three rules laid down by DR..
George L. Walton. q well known neurolg-
ist, who was talking for the benefit of
tho people. Here are the rules:
Don't harbor = crouch.
Don't live in the past.
Don't play the m--tyr"
If any man ever accomplished apy-
thing good by playing the Crouch we
have not been informed a. to his ident-
ity, says an exchange. But having lived
through a.goodly number Of years, meet
ing people Of all classes and creation,
we would most respectfully say that we
have not been able to see where a man
with = Crouch made any Roadway. As
. matter of fact, Groucho. never succeeds
in accomplishing anything further than
to cast . damper on the spirits Of those
with whom he comes in contact. He
will find listeners, and they may express
their sympathy, but they will not extend
. helping hand, nor will they be able to
lind good word to say for him, when
his back ID turned or when he has moved
out Of sight. The most efficacious rem
edy for . case of crouch Is to be candid
with Groucho and tell him he is a twin
brother to Gloom and brings nothing
into the world but woe, despair and dis
satisisction.
Don't live in the past" because il
will not help the present, nor can il help
the future. One should profit by the ex-
perience Of others. The past is gone, so
let Il remain buried, with the things that
were. II you are broke today, the money
you spent or what father had year
ago, will not buy = sanrwich for You
today.
"Don't play the martyr" The days
Of the martyrs are past. They have
nothing to do with the present. One may
Be able to conceive the idea chat one 10
playing the martyr. but beyond . few
misguided people who can not think for
themselves, the self-styled martyr is the
father Of misery and that d oil he can
bring into the community.
Dr.. Walton recommended baseball, or
get busy and saw wood a. the best anti
does for the Crouch, the past and the |
spirit Of martyrdom.--E

A MAN, MY SON.

The fellow who acquires the physical

age to kill grass, in spite of the shade
trees that invite him; and who can be
realizing that he is becoming day by
day, q real man, has a thousand things
more to thank God for than the fellow
who hasn't the physical strength to carry
walking cane unless one end of it is
in his mouth; who has not learned to

get out of bed before 10 a. m, and who

CROP NOTES IN IBERIA.

The week passing has been on the
whole favorable and with the exception
of one rain, has been fairly dry and with
low temperatures. The egect on the
cane crop has been good and higher per
cent of sucrose is now present than last
week. Roads are drying and becoming
passable, so that the campaign will start
auspiciously Cane cutting has become
general and deliveries have commenced.
The cane is giving fair tonnage, all
hands are being mustered to move the
crop as rapidly as the mills will take 1T,
Monday, November 3rd, seems to be the
date for factories to start and good sup
plies of cane have already accumulated.
The price is somewhat disappointing, as
by the per cent plan the amount realized
is less than three dollars per ton. As
long as the prise of sugar on the New
Orleans exlhange is kept at such low
figures as at present, cane-raisers will not
get their Just dues, for it is noted fact
that after the crop is all harvested the
price becomes better. A notable depar-
ture from this rule is the method at
Smedes Bros. and Messrs. Bileauds, who
pay SO cents per ton extra for every ton
hauled by cart and dumped on their yard
or carried. The carrying of cane 81 or
IS miles, with a heavy freight charge will
in the future be discontinued, and fac
tories will grind cane raised only in
their own territory, paying more per
ton, and giving the freight charges to the
producers of cane, thus making posi-
BILE profit to them. If cane prices are
going to remain below So per ton, its
cultivation will be greatly reduced. Fac
tories must get together and pool their
issues" by keeping out of each others
territory and ceasing to pay heavy
charges for long hauls of cane, forcing
them to pay less than living price for
cane.
Reports from all the wards show a
favorable condition of the cane. At
Delca mbre the wheels will turn Novem-
Der 3rr Monday; also at Avery Island
work will start the same date. JEFF
ferson's Island cane-cuttng and shipping
has commencer, and will continue Wig
orously to the end of the crop. At Nor
bihan the mills will turn next Monday.
A good supply of cane is on hand for the
start it is said the tonnage for this fac
tory will be the largest in its history.
maria" Central will also commence ope-
rating Monday the Bird. Much cane is
coming to this fine factory, on, of the
best in tn. parish vida" fa:trry is
ready for business and will join the pro-
cession next week Its supply of cane
comes direct from the fields by cart fro:1
the numerous satisfied patrons lying be-
tween Morbihan and Maria. Cane is be-
ing received and shipped from the old
Segura site at Segura Station to the
mills of Burguieres Bros. in St. Mary.
The crops at this point are very fine and
have a larger degree of maturity than
at other points, owing it is thought to
the fine sandy lands and extra drainage.
Reports from the eastern part of the
parish show general activity. All mills
will be in operation next wecg, with
prospects Of long grinding, as the ton
mage is reported as very heavy.-Node in
