The Natchitoches enterprise. (Natchitoches, La.) 1888-1965, 1914-08-06

The cattle industry is growing
in Louisiana, and when it increases
to the extent. where jhere will be
no idle. lands left upon which a
herd of cattle can Craze, this
country will see a prosperity, the
like of which It has never seen
before 1t is stated on good au-
thority that during the year 1918
tn. U-nled States Department of
Agriculture released from tick
quarantine 215, 1000 square miles of
territory and more than 5000
pure bred cattle have been intro
duced into tick-free territory.
The eradication of the tick by
dipping has been demonstrated to
be completely feasible and the
elimination of Charlton will follow
as soon as cattle breeders unite in
fighting the disease, says citizen
we'll versed in the question.
There are thousands of acres in
the cut over lands on the north
side of the river that could be
most profitably used as cattle
ranches, or for the breeding of
beef cattle and for raising hogs.
The advent of the silo into the
country makes it possible to raise
beef cattle more cheaply than
formerly. There are idle lands in
the alluyian districts of this parish
that should be. and could be, pro-
fitably turned into grazing pas
lures for larger herds of cattle.

Saturday afternoon the expected
came to pass when Germany de-
clared war against Russia and four
great powers Russia, France, Ger
many and Austria-Hungary en-
gagged in what is believed will be
one Of the DIoodiest wars in al
history. Between ten and tweil e
million OF fighting men engaged,
and equipped with the deadlicst
war machinery that science and
invention have ever produced it is
easy to understand the physical
and financial exhaustion of CONT
mental Europe that will ensure.
If conditions develop as at pres
ent seem to indicate, it may throw
Europe back into the melting pot,
and new empires, kingdoms and
republics will come forth moulded
in the blood of countless millions.
In this Law and century, at the
stage at which civilization has adj
vanced, it seems incredible that
at such a cost VERY conservative
estimates place the daily cost at
354. 100000, with that of human
life incalcuIable and productions
largely suspendedD this war can
last, as the world Of today has too
much horror of destruction and
too much respect for reduction.
What this war will mean, the
racial, national industrial problems
involved no one can begin to
realize, it is too fearful to contem
plate.
The Triple Alliance formed in
1888 between Germany, Austria
Hungary and Italy for the pur-
pose of checking encroachment by
Russia, England and France,
forces these great powers to stand
against each other and make it
certainly war of giants, the vital
reasons of which go back into cen
turtles of racial rivalry and modern
pocketbook pressure upon the gov
ernments of Germany and Russia
in particular, for commercial adj
vantages.

That Judge G. V. Porter is to

That Judge G. V. Porter is to
be returned to the Court of APP
peals without opposition, is the
strongest endorsement that could
be given him by his constituents
who proved their thorough appro-
val of his course and work thereby.
While this is most gratifying to
his many friends, it shows un-
doubted wisdom and good judg-
ment on the part of the electorate
as it would be difficult in fact we'll
nigh impossible to find another
candidate who combines the many
qualities that makes Judge Porter
the ideal man in every respect for
the position. Besides his general
ability, his legal acumen, his high
regard for the rights of all men,
high principle, thorough know
ledge of the law, conscientious and
studious application to his duties,
Judge Porter is a man who enjoys
the respect and : admiration of
everybody by reason of many
rare qualities that appeal to
friends and acquaintance alike,

Lincoln Steamboat Story.

Abraham Lincoln told about an
early day steamboat on the Mis-
sissippi which had such a limited
supply of steam that, every time
the whistle was blown, it stopped!
The early-day merchant is SINH
larly situated. He had such limi-
ted resources that he couldn't
figure out how he could afford to
pay for an advertisement unless
he discharged clerk!
The modern merchant finds that
the more he advertlses the more
clerks he must have-and the
easier it is to pay for them!
And he pays for his advertising
with about as little trouble as the
Atlantic Liner experiences in blow
ing its whistle.
