TRY THIS PLAN.

Can't you strain point and fix up a
little? A coat of paint on your home
OF place Of business would help out a
whole lot in making the town look
better and make your home or business
house worth more If everybody would
do something, paint little, or clean
up a little or "cut the weeds" any
thing to let the neighbors know you
live" the town would look as though
the Germans had flanked to the left OF
us, and the loss OF life had been much
less than we had nticipated.-Louisi-
ana Sun.
Most Of, us possibly feel that the
coat of paint is beyond our means, but
very few have tried washing off the
outside of their houses, just as they
scrub the floors inside-minus soap of
course. 1t is wonderful how it fresh
ems the paint, making the building, in
some instances, look as if it were
newly painted That does not cost
muct, nor does the cutting of weeds
and the planting of flowers.
Walking through the streets of this,
or of most towns of Louisiana, one
wishes that the old Talumdic law was
in force, that one which required the
keeping of the street in front of ones
own door clean. If each householder
did that, there would be comparatively
little for the town authorities to look
after But the opposite course is the
case. Some people coolly deposit
ashes, cut grass and other debris in
the streets, and others even leave the
sWeepings of their houses on the side
walk in front of their gates! The
humble dustpan used effectively, or
rapid sweeping of the walk, taking
only few minutes work on the part
of residents would make all the differ
ence in the world as to the general
appearance of the streets, and their
own homes as well. For neat home
and grounds with a trash-streWn pave
ment in front suppests the peacock
with it's gorgeous plumage-and ugly
feet.
But the peacock has the grace to be
ashamed Of it's feet.

CHEERFULNESS PAYS.

Canyassing in one OF East Feliciana' S
towns-Slaughter-on tuesday, it seem
ed to US for an early in the week day
that business in all OF the stores was
good. Merchandise and money were
passing over the counters, not IN large
amounts but with great frequency. Yet
some OF the SLore-keepers were cheer
full. others, the reverse, but be 1t said
that most OF them were cheerful. IL
illustrated well now the same set Oh
circumstances would affect different III
dlviduais IN an opposite manner.
But these effects did not stop there.
Believe US, we had our own troubles,
but which think you OF these two types
OF men lett us stronger, Drawer, more
cheerful to confront our own affairs
Which one helped customers to go for,
ward in work?
Beside cheerfulness is good business
policy. 1t pays the merchant. Hard
times talk runs dime into the deepest
corner OF customers pocket, while
cneerfulness draws it out to pay for
some OF the merchants goods.

SUCCESS OF THE FREE FAIR.

Directors of the Baton Rouge Fair
Association have decided to hold free
fair next year, being warranted in this
decision by their recent success.
ITO have given free fair" says the
Baton Rouge State-Times, with not
only free admission but free space, and
Co have closed it with only $3.50 in
bills unsettled, and assets in buildings
worth $1,000, is a unique record In
fair giving. Practically every fair in
the South, where paid admissions were
received, closed this year with big
deficits
1t is indeed a remarkable achieve
ment, but it is no doubt due to the fact
that the correct principle in the giving
Of an agricultural fair was discovered
and exemplifed. The main idea OF
such an exposition is tWo-fold, viz; to
encourage the placing OF exhibits be-
fore the public, and to induce the
public to come, see and learn.
1t is manifest that the profits to the
smaller exhibitors are not sufficient to
induce them to go to much expense in
sending their products to the average
fair, therefore the cost of space thereat
is usually prohibitiVe to this class.
Only large producers find it pay to
incur the expenses incident to placing
exhibits. In like manner, while the
average person enjoys going to show
Of any kind, there is a certain mo-
notony about agricultural fairs that
makes him slow to attend them, unless
he has some special inducement to do
so. But when space and admission
are both free, the small exhibitor and
the multitude of show-goers are at once
provided for: the expense being borne
by those who actually receive the most
direct financial benefit,-the business
houses of the town where the fair was
given.
1t is probable that free parish fairs
would not be practicable unless the
town, where the fair is held, is big
enough to stand the expense. Baton
Rouge was big enough, hence the al
most complete success of the affair,
encouraging it's repetition.

AN EN-.

One of the working planters of the
parish writes us, as follows:
"In the last issue l see you mention
the new hog law as passed by the
Police Jury. What was it? something
to prevent the lands from being made
useful during the winter months?
Il fear that we must change our
people, if we wish to make country"
Not a new ordinance, but one that
was passed some time since, permitting
hogs to run at large during the winter
months. 1t was not designed to pre-
vent the growing of winter crops, but
undoubtedly has that effect, and is due
to a mistaken notion that hog-raising
is thereby encouraged. On the con-
trary, the real, and therefore the sue
cessful hog-raiser keeps his swine at
home under his personal supervision.
The casual, happy-go-lucky, providence
will-proVide hoggrower lets his out to
become a public nuisance as well as
too often private loss. The Police
Jury should be urged to rescind it's
action.
AS for our correspondents opinion
that the people must be chan ged in
order to build UP the country we say
"Amen!" and again "Amen!" Our
people must learn more thrifty habits,
must not sit down, as they have done
in the past, and expect Nature to do
everything for them. They must learn
that Nature is fine servant, but has
not the proper initiative for the scien-
tific farming Of the twentieth century,
but must be guided and directed to use
her rich resources to the best advan-
tage, and not have them dissipated by
carelessness and neglect

GOV. HALL EXPECTED HOME.

Governor Hall is expected back this
week from the conference of governors,
and will then give some consideration,
it is expected, to the calling of the
extra session of the general assembly.
This session will be held some time
during December or January, and will
be devoted chiefly to a consideration
of the question of taxation and assess
ment reforms.
The pressing problem will be secur-
ing funds for the operation of the state
and the state institutions for the fiscal
year ending nj 1916.
When the general appropriation bill
was before the assembly last July
Governor Hall had to trim the measure
to fit the revenues of the state and he
cut out many of the 1856 appropria-
tons for institutions. Finding funds
for these institutions will be the work
before the lawmakers when they are
assembled by the governor.

PLANT PECAN TREES.

The pecan has been known since the
discovery of the western continent,
and is found in no other country save
the United States and Mexico. The
native Seeding nut with which most
people are familiar, bears about the
same relation to the improved thin
shell varieties, as the native crab apple
does to the popular modern varieties
which supply all the markets of the
country. The development of the
pecan, however, has just begun. Be-
cause some one said the pecan could
not be improved or propagated by
budding and grating, it remained to
this late day for the discovery to be
made of the entire practicability of
budding and grating the pecan, thus
permitting the growing of varieties
true to name.
Every one who owns a spot Of open
ground large enough to support a pecan
tree, should plant it at once. A source
Of wealth lies in the possession of
pecan grove, and it can be had by the
landowner at the cost of comparative
" little labor. An avenue of stately
oaks is a beautiful sight, but how
much more practical-and equally as
beautiful-is an avenue of pecan trees,
and yet so few of these there are, if
indeed there exists one avenue of
pecan trees of any length in the
world. What an opportunity this is,
to produce something at once beautiful,
lucrative and unique.

FINE SUGAR.

Col. c. Harrison Parker, president
of the Board of Control of the State
Penitentiary, has sent us a sample of
the white granulated sugar now being
turned out at Angola Refinery for sale
direct to the consumer. The amount
produced will be between 10000 to
$4,000 barrels, this year.
The sample very pleasantly sweet
ened the tea for supper. and is Of as
perfect quality as we ever saw, that
is, as regards appearance and taste.
Not being experts we did not subject
it to any other tests, but have no doubt
that it is as good as the best, and that
it's production will prove paying
business for the state.

LET PRESENT OFFICIALS DO
THEIR DUTY.

Mr.. Martin Manion, author OF good,
bad and Indifferent measures before
the General Assembly, is now circular
izing the press, with regard to the
formation by the State of Louisiana OF
Public Welfare Commission to study
the economic problems of the state
and to recommend legislation for their
solution. There can be no doubt that
such a commission would afford sew
eral soft berths, and there are probably
a number of men eager to try to get
such positions, with the chances all in
favor of pressure being found to push
the matter through. But with the
boards and commissioners that the
state already has, there is no need OF
students of social problems. if the
aforementioned officials do their duty.
The sad picture Mr.. Manion paints
of the people who have useful ideas on
economic problems but no one to whom
10 impart them, said ideas being lost
70 an unthoughted world, takes no &C.
count of the various officials, whose
sworn duty it is to look after the mat
lers directly appertaining to their Of
dces, and who should be-eVen If they
are not-open to suggestions whereby
their own efficiency may be increased.
And it they do not welcome new
IDEAS, what guarantee can MI. Manion
or any one else furnish, that a Public
Welfare Commission will be any more
amenable to proffered advice and as
sistance? The arrogance of the aver
age Board" does not warrant any
such hope. 1t would be far better to
impress upon elective officials to make
good in their respective spheres OF
duty, which embrace the subjects in
question.

THE BOARD OF EQUALIZATION.
shreveport Journal.)

shreveport JOCrnal.)
We have at hand the annual report
of the Louisiana State Board of Equal
Ization for the year l914-a document
of considerable interest so far as facts
and figures are important. 1t is also
interesting in that it shows what the
state equalization does not do. For
instance: Under the head of personal
property" there are listed in the State
of Louisiana 140,303 horses, valued at
$4,S22,597, or an average of $34.37 each.
The board announces that there was
mo change by the board" from the
figures submitted by the assessors.
CHANGING down the list of parishes we
discover that Caddo parish's assessor
found 1850 horses and valued them at
$239,475, Or $3.50 each, while the
assessor of Cameron parish discovered
21S6 horses and valued them at $34, 225,
or SIS each. Here is a difference OF
$3584 in the value of horses in these
two parishes-more than the average
value of such animals for the entire
state. Could anything be more absurd
on it's face? Yet the Board of Equali-
cation announces that in the assess
ment of this class of personal property
no change was made"

ATLAS.

A cartoon of Wednesday shows
Uncle Sam depicted as Atlas UNFOLDING
the World of Industry on his shoulders.
1t has all the simplicity and directness
of great truth. Would that the
American people could see it's great
inspirational quality as well! While
all the rest of the world is wasting its
substance in the riot Of war, the
United States is pursuing the arts of
peace, and not only for itself but for
others. The need therefore is that
the United States shall plant and raise
all the food and raiment that it's fields
can produce in grain, in cotton and in
tiax; it's pastures shall sustain all
animals for work, food or production
of wool; it's mines shall bring forth
the metals needed for industrial pur-
poses; it's forests and mountains fur
nish the worlds building materials, SO
as to supply as fast as need be the
ravages OF war.
1t has always seemed to us incon-
gruous this talk Of curtailing the pro-
duction of cotton at a time when the
world is using up its supply OF cotton
clothing at more than normal rate.
How much better to let him who is
able TO plant cotton, do so against that
day OF need when there will be great
er demand for cotton than ever, while
all plant for what is needed NOW:
vast quantities of food stuffs of every
description.
Atlas upholding the World-not as
an ungracious servitor, but as benign
giant who scarcely feels the weight

STATE ASSESSMENTS SHOW BIG
INCREASE.

All of the assessment rolls Of Louis
lana have been received by Auditor
Capdevielle for 1914, and an increase
in the assessment Of $6,2S9,760 Is
shown in comparison with the roll Of
1913.
The total assessment roll Of this
year is $5S7,353,O13. The increase Of
over $6,OOO,OOO for this year is consid-
cred healthy when conditions are
taken into consideration. 1t is nearly
twice as large as the State Board Of
Equalization expected. The parishes
in the sugar, and the timber belts of
the state, as a rule, show a decrease.
The drop in the assessment of the
sugar parishes was especially noted.

FARM PROBLEMS.
q. w. H. in Times-Picayune.)
Norwood, La, Nov. IA, 1914.

Norwood, La, Nov. IA, 1914.
| am in receipt Of e. O. Burners
Desert the Knockers and Join the
Boosters" with note asking me to
read it carefully and join in the march
to a bright and prosperous future. The
whole thing, as / understand it, is
diversified farming and stock raising;
IN answer to which / respectfully ask
Mr.. Bruner and others to read the
editorial in The Times-Picayune of the
18th dealing with this particular sub
ject. AS whole it will be found that
it is made up with facts which it is
impossible for any one. to refute.
Outside of the market conditions for
corn and potatoes, and saying nothing
about stock raising, there is another
matter to be considered and adjusted,
and that is finance. If Mr.. Bruner will
take the trouble to investigate condi-
tions in the Felicianas he will find that
country real estate is without value as
collateral even for small loans, and
unless means are adopted by which
every farmer who needs it can COM
mand reasonable amount of credit
diversified farming and stock raising
in this hill section will never succeed
care not how much boosting is done
Talk is cheap, but it takes money to
raise crops, cattle, hogs, mules and
horses. When farm lands lose their
value as security those who are living
thereon are in bad fix.
am glad to see The Times-Picayune
has seen fit to give facts which are
facts. The success of this new kind
of farming does not depend altogether
on the farmer by jug full.
am firmly of the opinion that there
are hundreds of one-horse and four
horse farmers who would gladly take
their places in the line Of march If
they could see even the faintest ray
of light.

KNOCKING VS.. REPRoVlNG.

The New York newspaper which
characterized job NM. Parker as the
chief knocker" of a town which he
lectured for knocking" in speech at
the Atheneum in New Orleans a week
ago, evidently has little knowledge of
New Orleans. It would take dynamite
or a 42-centimeter gun to shake the
complacency of the people of New
Orleans. From long experience, Mr..
Parker knew what task he was es-
saying and chose his ammunition &C
cordingly. New Orleans municipal
hide is too thick for ordinary weapons.
1t takes meat-aX to make an impress
sion, and of all the troubles that af-
iict New Orleans, the chief is that it
refuses to profit by the well-meant
criticism of people inside and outside
of the city, who find fault with condi-
tons because they aare sincerely de-
sirous of the betterment and upbuild-
ing of a city they love, despite it's
faults.-Lake Charles American Press.
Faithful are the wounds of a friend.
Mr. Parker's criticisms of New Orleans
may not bring about much change,
but in any event, are more beneficial
than the praises of outsiders, which
make and keep New Orleans merely
the carnival city" instead of leading
her to become the greatest seaport
in the United States besides New York.
