On Monday morning IN neI
preparedness and readiness Tor
the Thirty Fourth Annual Con-
vention of the Grand Lodge
Knights Of Pythias, Domain OF
Louisiana, Bogalusa presented a
most marvellous spectacle,
Nature has been lavish with her
natural gorgeous setting for this
fair and favored city and with
the best architectural skill and
trate employed in her building
it was easy for the decorators to
get results, but such wonderful
results as we're obtained by the
brilliant bands and streamers'
seals, flags and favors of red, vel
low and blue, which carried out
the color scheme of the order,
was marvellous indeed and eX-
cited the admiration and wonder
of not only the 800 visiting dele
gates but of of the residents
themselves Notwithstanding they
are constantly doing things" in
this line.
Pine Tree Inn, one of the best
equipped hotels in the south, be-
ing headquarters for the Con
vention, presented scene OF
brilliancy inside add out. Many
of the guests arrived Sunday
but the last installment came in
a body on the 9:45 train Monday
morning, being met at the tram
by visitors and residents with
gayly decorated carriages and
automobiles and conducted to
The Inn where the line of march
was taken up to the large gym
nasium hall at the Y. M. G. A.,
which was used for the place OF
meeting of the order to accomo-
date the unusual number of
Knights present.
The session was called to Or
der by R. L. Robinson, G. e.,
Ozone Lodge No. III and prayer
offered by Rev. E. La Vergne.
A short and pithy address of
welcome to the visiting Lodges
was made by w. H. Sullivan,
General Manager and Vice
President of the Great Southern
Lumber Go. Among other things
of interest in this short talk Mr..
Sullivan made the interesting
statement that only seven and
one-half years ago Bogalusa was
a pine forest while today she is
a city of 10000 people and en-
joys the distinction Of being the
only town in the United States,
and in fact the world, where the
lumber used in building the mill
property, houses and everything
else. was cut from the town site,
There were 100000 feet Of
lumber used in building Boga-
Lusa, and there were 100000
feet of lumber cut on the town
site.
1t is also the only unincorpor.
ated town in the Uuited States
with free delivery of mail. Also
the compliment, and seemingly
a deservedly one, was paid the
Lodge by the statement from
this observant and progressive
manager, that the remarkable
law and order prevailing among
these unincorporated people, was
greatly due to the fraternal or.
CARNATIONS of the city. Follow

Trade Week. which has
been i'll progress since Thurs
day, and will end up tomorrow
night, four days in all, has
proven to be a big success.
Many farmers brought in
some fine exhibits of all kinds
of vegetable, fruits, canned
goods, cane corn, cotton, okra,
peanuts, and numerous other
things.
A fine display of pure breed
poultry has been a drawing
card at the exhibit hall. AT the

and cattle, we're admired BY
all who visited them.

Some Southwest
ern Reflections

Farmers who are up to the min
uteS have already prepared their
lands for planting oats next mouth,
and they are going to plant plenty
of them.
They are going to plant Louis
lana grown seed, obtain from relia-
bic sources and guaranteed as to their
termination qualities. This is i'm
peratively necessary. Don't fail to
plant crimson clover or vetches as
cover crops and for winter pasture.
OF course, you are going to atteud
the big annual convention at Crow
ley of the Southwest Louisiana
Development Bereau. Advance re-
ports coming into the headquarters
indicate that it is going to be the
BIG event of the year in Louis
lana. Experts are going to discuss
the rare opportunities presented to
the Southwest Louisiana Farmers
by the European War; by the To-
cation of the United States De-
monstration Farm within our terti-
tory and by the work of the South
west Development Bureau.
No such opportunity as we now
have to make agriculture profitable
has been presented 7 us for many
years, and it is important that we
get together and make provision
for concerted action in making the
best of the great opportunity
Not only will the occasion be the
first annual convention of the
Southwest Louisiana Development
Bureau, but it will be a series of
separate conferences of bankers,
merchants, farmers. real estate
men, educators, the press. lumber
and timber interests, cotton growers
rice growers, good roads advocates
etc.
These will confer together, out
line their views and present them
to the general meeting. These
meetings will be addressed BY
leaders of public thought, big men
who do things in their respective
lines, and it will be worth while
for our people to hear them.
The meeting will take place
October 1914 and IS. special rates
within the territory of the Bureau
will prevail on all roads and every
body is cordially invited to attend,
and help spread Southwest Louis
lana large on the map of the
United States.

In the first place, the modern
farmer is an up-to-date individual.
He is we'll informed. and in many
cases is college graduate. He
knows how to shop" by telephone
or mail. If he did not his efforts
would be about as disappointing as
hunting for the pot of gold that is
suppose to be hidden at the end of
the rainbow.
If he wants collors or shirts or
trousers, rakes, plows or harrows,
is it all the same. He can speed an
order to his merchant by phone or
mail and by asking for standard
brands with which he is familiar he
knows that his purchases will be
satisfactory i'll every way. He is
not looking for bargains or price
cut brands inferior in quality and
workmanship. He wants only the
best and is willing to pay for the
best. He wants what he wants
when he wants it, and will take 10

1t is only human to get into q
Tut and do things exactly as our
fofefathers did. We are all such
creatures of habit. For example, we
have thought for centuries that
there was but one way to finish the
inside walls. and partitions of our
houses and other buildings, just as
onr ancestors did by plastering,
despite the fact that as soon as the
walls settled" great, ugly cracks
appeared in the plaster. Then we
awoke to the fact that there was a
better way, and now we have more
modern methods that are revolu-
tionizing building plans.
Great Uncle David and Great
Aunt Mehitabel used to drive an
entire day or more to do their mar
keting" and shopping" They
had to, for there were no rural free
deliveries, no telephones, no tele-
graph. parcels post. automobiles or
motorcycles to enlarge their radius
both from a purchasing and farm
ing standpoint. Today it is differ
ent. The farmer has the same needs
for clothing and the actual neces-
sites of life as his city brother,
but unlike his forefathers he spends
less time III going after them. In

Also there were about $50 little
tots left at the school house on
account of being too small to
march.
Concerts have been played
at different times all through
the week by the w. J. Braun

Thursday morning DR..
Neson of the Louisiana State
Experimental Sation, spoke or
Agriculture and Tick Eradi-
cation which was well received
and appreciated by all who
were fortunate enough to hear
him. He is a fine speaker and
ably handles his subject.
Friday morning a splendid
discourse on drainage was de-
livered BY Mr.. Medlinka, of
the Experimental Station Ct
Crowley.
In our next issues we will
give accounts of the winners
of prizes and as complete a
list of exhibits as we are able
to obtain.
