When a man is through with his
days work and is sitting down resting
in his home, he can not read the ad-
yertisements on the fence, and the
hand bills and circulars that were left
on the door steps during the day have
blown away or been destroyed. He
calls for the paper and there finds the
merchants announcement, and with
nothing to bother his mind, he reads it
carefully and calls his wife's attention
TO it, and they decide to go to the
merchants store and examine what Is

FOR AN AGRICULTURAL BUILDING

The progress and prosperity of Lou.
isiana depend upon the development of
her agricultural resources. Therefore,
thoughtful people almost to a unit,
urge the necessity Of providing greater
facilities to the youth of the state for
their more thorough education, along
all agricultural lines, including field
crops and live stock. 1t will devolve
upon our State Agricultural College to
provide this necessary education; but
In order to do so, greater equipment is
essential, and what this institution
stands most In need of at this
time, and for the future, Is building
at the University with adequate equip.
ment to take care of this branch of
work.
The most prominent agricultural and
allied organizations have expressed
themselves, either through resolution
or endorsement, of the project Of hav.
ing the coming legislature appropriate
an adequate amount of money for the
purpose Of erecting, on the State Uni
versity campus, an agricultural build

prospective needs Of the States agri-

FOR PROTECTION FROM FLOOD

Mayor Logan of Bayou Sara, who Is
working like Trojan for the rehabili-
tation Of his town, proposes to follow
the broad intimation of the Mississippi
River Commission that the town would
be in better position to secure assist
ance il 1t belonged to a levee district.
To that end, Mr.. Logan will get up a
petition, memorializing the Legislature
to have Bayou Sara included in the
Pointe Coupee Levee District. The
matter will be introduced in the Legis-
lature by Senator A. F. Barrow, who
has pledged Mr. Logan that he will do
all that he can for the measure.
Mr.. Logan further proposes to get
property-owners in lower ST. Francis
vile to sign the petition for coming
into levee district, as that part Of
the town is more subject to overflow
than Bayou Sara The result of his
efforts in this direction is yet to be
seen. Being subject to a neyer-ending
levee tax will probably be detriment,
but it Is doubtful if adequate protec-
ton can be secured in any other way
than by becoming part of levee
district. Property owners in lower st.
Francisville should canvass the sub.
ject thoroughly, while Bayou Sara as a
whole can not do better than endorse
the project.

Vitality Among Scientists

Men of affairs often make the mis-
take of conceiving scientists as a ner-
vous, scholastic type of men, rather
puny in physique, and inclined to be
| wandering and loosely co-ordinated in
mind. Nothing could be further from
the truth. Results do not come from
! men who have not their energies un-
der effective control; and certainly
the results of the last 300 years of
science are an evidence of energy.
Science has been a revolt against: ira
dition; fight for liberty 70 go, to the
bottom of things st has displayed
the enterprise, of the discovercr, curl
oG.-y to think the Creators thoughts,
after Him, love of conquering diff
culties, and a determination to rule
the forces of nature rather than be
ruled by them. In short, it is in every
way positive and aggressive, and is,
therefore, the expression of men with
energy plus.
Among scientists we find ability of
every type; there are men of prodigi-
GUS energy, like Calico and Bunsen;
lnen of enthusiasm and vivid magma
tion like Kepler, Haeckel, Werner and
Laplace; men of rapid and accurate
observation like Johann Muller; men
with the power of clear, deep reason
ing like Newton, Henry Cavendish and
Boerhaave; and men OF great breadth
of interest like Descartes, Adam
Smith and DiderOt. There have been
men Of early precocity like GrOtius,
Thomas Young. Sir William Hamilton
