A GIRL AND A NICKEL.

The Youths Companion tells the story
of a girl who lived in Mississippi ana
who asked her brother to give her the
money to go to College. He told her he
could not afford it, and, tossing her a
nickel added, unless you can go %
that"
The plucky little girl took the five
cent piece and bought some calico, from
which she made a bonnet that she solo
for twenty-five cents. With this money
she bought more calico and made more
,, bonnets. After she had made several
dollars in this way she determined &c
raise potatoes. She did not stop work
however, and it is not surprising that d
girl of SO much determination was able
to borrow enough money to start al
school.
She was graduated with honor from
the State College of Women, attended
| a medical school, still earning all hel
expenses, got her degree, and is now
successful practicing physician in :
| large town in the South and it all be
gan with a nickel Shreveport Times.

ity belongs there; it is the only perm
anent institution of the country, be-
longing to all alike; its purpose is edu
cational and it can be recognized to ed
ucate along the line of present needs.
Some such indefinite ideas are in the
minds of many people of today-school

10 be needed is the formulation of some
definite program covering the function
Of the school in these respects and pro-
viding for activities of all agencies and
forces at present working in the rural
field. Such is the purpose of this graphic
outline.
It is frankly an ideal, something to
he set upand woS ked toward. Eper:-
eace will probably teach US that some
changes are advisable. That need not
lessen its present power as an idea.
There are a few schools now doing al
most what is suggested; many others

more could and would, with the proper
Stimulus, carry out the full program.

APPOINTMENTS FOR LOUISIANA

Washington, Jan. 22-Although the
report has been general that the distri-
button of offices among the Demo crats
would begin in real earest this week,
Louisiana members of the House and
Senate have been unable to get any
thing definite with regard to one office.
The greatest interest centeTs in the
collectorship of internal revenue, for
which the Louisiana Senators have rec
commended John S. Y. Fauntleroy, of
Ouachita, who managed Senator Rams
dell's campaign in the primary that re-
suited in his victory. Fauntleroy's NOM
nation went to Secretary McAdoo
months ago, but whether it has gone to
the White House nobody is able to dis.
cover.
Senator Ransdell and Thornton have
been making inquiries, but they are not
able to point to anything of a concrete
character warranting the generally cir
culated report that the distributors is to
be begun this or even next week.
The internal revenue collector ship will
be the most important office in the State
for at least six months because it will
have charge of the collection of the
newly imposed income tax. The collec-
tor in Louisiana will have three and
possibly four deputies each of whom
will receive $500, whose sole duty will
be to find out about the incomes of Lou
isianians who have incomes of $4,000
and more. Every person getting $4,000
must return to the collector. If he is
married his income up to $4,000 will be
exempt from taxation. But even if mar
ried he or she must make an accounting
to the collector, and claim the addition
al $1,000 on account of being married.
The mere statement of the duty to be
performed indicates how important the
collector ship will be while the work
is being got under way.
The marshalship for the Eastern Dis
trict is receiving much attention on ac-
count of the recommendation of Frank
H. Miller by the Senators. The former
president of the Conservation Commission
was so prominent in the Sanders fight
that Representative Broussard is expect
ed to do what he can to prevent his
nomination, but what even he does will
have to be done from Louisiana because
the Senator elect, by reason of his
fights for sugar, is not exercising a great
deal of influence. Personally he is on
very good terms with Marshal Loisel.
The Senator elect arrived here few
days ago, after having spent nearly two
months in Louisiana, which he employed
largely in getting stock farm. started.
He rooted up the small acreage he had
in sugar thus showing his belief in the
accuracy of his assertion, made during
the fight, that free sugar would drive
Louisiana out of business.
He said he would have no influence
in the settling of the marshalship fight.
He called attention to the fact that all
the utterances of the leaders in this ad-
ministration are to the effect that Re-
publicans would be allowed to complete
their terms of office.

FARMERS CLUBS.

The Country School must become the
permanent institution for the organiza-
ton and upbuilding of country life. It
must broaden it's scope so as to include
every individual in the community. 1t
must vitalize its content by teaching the
things essential to more prosperous
and satisfactory life in the country.
For such service to be done effectively,
certain conditions are necessary: O A
building constructed with view to its
broader field, containing auditorium.
rooms for industrial processes, equip
ment for teaching practical agriculture
and household science; (2) extensive
grounds; 81 home for the principal;
(4) at least two teachers employed for
the year (5) the principal, qualified to
lead in agricultural extension work (e)
an assistant, qualified to lead in women's
extension work; ~ another assistant,
expert in teaching tools of learning. The
State Department of Education, the
State University with all its many extern
sion departments, the other State edu-
cational institutions, the State Board

ENFORCE LAW IMPARTIALLY.

In an account of the killing of Arthur
tosh, the Richland Democrat contains
the following:
"There were no imme diate eye wit
nesses to the occurrence, and Dr. Nc
Intosh left at once and remained in hid
ing till Monday afternoon when he sur
rendered to some friends who brought
him to Rayville at once and on Tuesday
he surrendered to Sheriff VIM. T. Oliver,
at whose house he is staying until the
court takes action in his case"
The News-Star has no interest in this
case further than to venture the hope
that justice will be done the living and
the dead; but as the case now stands
DR.. Mcintosh is accused of the murder
of fellow being, yet he is taken to a
private home, the home of the sheriff.
instead of being placed in the parish
jail as would have been done if the &C
cused had been a less influential man.
If negro had killed young Harreh
a lynching would have followed his cap
ture. He would never have reached jail.
DR.. Mcintosh is one of the leading
citizens of Richland parish 1t appears
to an onlooker that the law is not being
ministered impartially in his case.
Is there any wonder that the ordinary
man without influence or the immunity
that may be secured through the powe:
of money, has a supreme contempt for
the courts" Does he not find in many
cases proof of his claim that poor man
can not get justice in the courts?
While we are on the subject of law
enforcement it will not be amiss to say
something about the cheapness OF hu-
man life and the ease with which muT-
derers escape the penalty of the law.
Richland is not alone in this. All other
parishes are just as bad. One of of our
country exchanges recently, in telling
of a murder that was an unprovoked
affair and was the result of business
transaction said the slayer chad not de-
cmed whether he would plead the I'M
written law or self defense" Both these
pleas aer sadly overworked but they con-
tinue to save the accused from hanging
or even a light punishment. Steal
mans horse and you are sure to get
term in the penitentiary; kill the man
and plead the unwritten law or self de .
Tense and you go scott free. The disre-
gard of human life and the failure to
enforce the law is doing the South more
harm today than all other things COM
bined People wonder why thousands of
western and northern farmers 60 to
Canada every year to establish new
homes when they could come south and
find cheaper and better land and an
ideal climate. The explanation is easy:
the laws are enforced without favor in
Canada where a mans life is as safe as
his property.-NewsS Star.

True marriages mean a subjugation of
self, and a losing of ones selfish feel
ings in love for another. Every man
ought to have the certainty that he can
find peace and rest from all strife and
fret in his home. Every husband ought
to feel when he turns the key to enter
his own door that he is sure of a
sweeter welcome a more cheerful and
more restful atmosphere than he has
found outside of it. If each wife would
make this the leading resolve of her life
the world would be revolutionized.-Ex.

LETTUCE FINDS READY MARKET.

To date the Terrebonne Farmers As
ISOLATION has shipped to Chicago some
thing over five hundred hampers Of Ter
rebonAe grown lettuce. Yesterday about
IFS hampers were shipped. The price
in Chicago has ranged around one dol
lar hamper. After the freight and
other charges have been deducted it nets
the Terrebonne farmers about forty cents
hamper.
The farmers of the Lower Black and
Upper Terrebonne country have plant
ed lettuce extensively, and are making
quite success of it. Mr.. Jos. Ago, the
well known planter Of the Uppe Terre-
bonnie, shipped through the Association
11o hampers yesterday. He said that
he would have had about four thousand
hampers for the market if the season
had been a little colder. The warm
weather has made the lettuce 60 to seed
earlier than it would have done in colder
weather. "At the prices prevailing now,
farmer can make big money planting
lettuce. He can make big money at
twenty-five cents a hamper net. About
eight hundred or a thousand hampers
can be raised to the acre in good season,
and at forty cents you cansee tie result.
This is our initial trial, but next year
I am going to plant heavier than have
this year. am going to work the
truck business harder than ever. for
I know that money can be made that
way. I had no idea that an acre could
produce as much as it does, until I
tried planting lettuce"
Mr.. J. P. Landry, president of the As
ISOLATION, has also planted lettuce, and
he expressed himself as delighted with
the result..-Houma Courier.

It is bad idea to cross bridges before
they are reached Sufficient unto the
day is the evil thereof" Out beyond
darkest clouds, where shadows of sad
ness and disappointment are left be-
hind, there is another cloud with a sill
yer lining, and it can always be found
if one desires to find it. It is difficult to
put aside sorrows, but it is best to do
it. Grief and sorrow fail to help any
cause. Living as near happily today as
