road of New Jersey be compelled to
furnish better passenger service and
additional freight facilities at that

A Million Dollar Cotton Investment.

1t has beeR announced authori-
tatlyely that the Woodmen of the
World one of our greatest frater
nal orders, proposes to invest NIL
lion dollars in cotton at the rate
of $50 a bale. The cotton is to be
secured from members of this
order in the cotton belt and held
if necessary for an advance to l0c
a pound for middling. A small
percentage of interest will be re-
quired from those who would hold
their cotton. This is a safe in
vestment and with the money OBJ
tanned at $50 per bale the farmers
having membership in the frater-
nifty will be supplied with money
of which they are in great need.
This is an evidence of practical
and substantial penevolence.
The accumulations of the Wood
men of the World in ready coIIat-
eral and valuable property will
aggregate S2t, 100000.

Elk Governor Francis once said
the following of newspapers:
Each year the local paper gives
from $500 to $1,000 in free lines
to the community in which it is
located. No agency can or will
do this. The editor, in proportion
to his means. does more for his
town than any other ten men, and
in all fairness he ought to be sup
ported not b c use YOU Lille or
admire his writings, but because
the local paper is the best invest
ment a community can make. 1t
may not he brilliantly edited or
crowded with thought, but tinan-
ciafly it is of more benefit to the
community than the preacher or
teacher. Understand me, l do
not mean mentally and yet on
moral questions YOU will find most
Of the papers on the right side.
Today the editor of the local pa
pers do the most for the least
money Of any people on earth"

Through the years leading IN
to Germany's position of wealth a
number of commandments were
adhered IT,. These commandments
would apply to a State like Louisi-
ana as we'll as to a great nation
like Germany. TIE Kaiser's trade
commandments revised for Louisi-
ana, follow:
l. ALWAYS buy Louisiana made
goods in preference to a foreign
article.
2. Always remember that pur-
chase of foreign manufacturers
ships money out of Louisiana and
Injuries home industries.
3 Always keep your money ut
home, where it will do the most
good.
1. Serve no foreign food on
you table.
5. Louisiana corn, grown by
the Louisiana farmers, on Louisi-
ana soil, ground by Louisiana
mills, will make bread good
enough for the best.
6. Read Louisiana newspapers,
filled with Louisiana news, and
patrouize their advertisers.
Z. Invest YOUR savings In the
leading Louisiana public and in
dastrial corporations.
3. Teach Louisiana womanhood
that Vienna gowns and Partisan
hats are not suitable for Louisiana
climate.
3. AS much as possible wear
Louisiana clothes on your back.
and Louisiana shoes on your feet.
10. By insisting that the mot
tos, Made in Louisiana" and
Grown in Louisiana shall de-
termine your purchase, you pro-
note Louisiana industries: keep
Louisiana labor; make
use OF Louisiana capital; distribute
It home your Louisiana money

No country is more prosperous than
its farmers, and few cities are pros
Porous that have not a happy, thrifty,
and intelligent farming element sur
rounding them.
When the farmers prosper, all feel
the effects of that prosperity.
Food is a primal need and food comes
out of the soil of the earth.
Farm prosperity is contagious to the
city. .
1t is never failing rule that where
the farming community is prosperous
there springs up around and in the city
manufacturing establishments
So there can be no community effort
in which there is more enlighted sell
fishness than the advancement of farm
ing interest.
Experience has proved that one of
the best ways to bring about farm ad-
vancement is to offer an object lesson
in WHAT CAN BE DONE WHAT IS
BEING DONE IN THE SURROUND
ING SOIL.
Here in lies the value of the fair. 1t
shows the farmer what his neighbor is
going. What high grade hogs, thor
oughbred cattle mean and the fine
points in value Of these over common

Eighteen Months Of Wilson.

Has anybody stopped to think
what type of man Woodrow Will
son is9 Has anybody seriously
considered the kind of administra-
tive work he has induced Congress
to do9 Asks The Portland (Ore.
Journal.
| Did ANYBODY ever hear of an
American President who, in so
short time, has done 50 much to
elicit the confidence, the admira-
ton and the applause of so many
of his countrymen7
What he is to his country and
what his country is to him are
evidenced in the kind of legisla-
ton he has brought forward. His
currency law has The unqualified
approval of all. 1t is.so excellent
in its provisions that it received
not only the support of the Demo
Gratis in Congress, but of many
Republicans and progressives. 1t
solved a problem that no other
stateman dared try to solve,
though Congress and committees
of CONGRESSES and leaders and
groups leaders daIlied with it and
lodged it for generation.
His tariff superseded the most
infamous tariff in history. 1t re
ceived the congressional support
not only of the Democratic mem
bers, but of LaFoiIette and many
other Progressive Republicans.
What Woodrow Wilson brings !
to his country Is evidenced in the
contrast between the tranquility
and peace at home and the fright
full occurrences overseas. Only
there was clauor for
President Wilson to lead the
armies OF the United States into
Mexico. He was scourged and
ridiculed and denounced and ex-
for his refusal to do so.
His policy was called a grape
uice policy" 1t was jeered at as
! ''spineless" policy. They said
t was foreign policy that made

The Game Laws and Their En-
fOrcement.

The Conservation Commission of
Louisiana is making every effort to
help hunters avoid violations of the law
but it will arrest and vigorously prose-
cute anyone who ignores the plain
provision of any statute for the protec-
ton of birds or game.
The offenses with which the Commits
sion will deal most severely are the fol-
lowing: Hunting without a license
outside the ward of residence; selling
game out of season or selling prohi-
bited species at any time; killing more
than the limit: killing non-game birds.
Hunting without license-The pos
session of license, except in the ward
OF residence, is strict requirement of
tbs law. A hunter without license
who is proved to have gone beyond his
ward will be shown no lenience by the
Commission. The protection Of the
game and the Inorganic birds of the
State is work to which no man who
calls himself real hunter should be
Indifferent, and funds for its mainten.
ance are essential. The law is ex-
tremely liberal in regard to licenses,
and the man who is not willing to pay
fifty cents for the privilege of hunting
beyond the limits of his ward is not
deserving of respect from his fellow
hunters or consideration from the Com
mission. Hunters who 60 outside of
their parish must not forget that they
require a State license, costing So.
Non-residents of the State must abso
lutely comply with the law by paying
a license of SIS and must not hunt for
profit. Any resident who sells game
must have $40 license.
Bag Limit-The bag limits are gener-
ous, and hunter who is not satisfied |
with these allowances is selfshly men
acing the interests of every man who
takes a gun afield in Louisiana. The
bag limits per day on birds are as
follows: One wild turkey, Is ducks,
ooule d'eau, cherooks, or doves, so
'nipe or Is other birds. This makes Is
he limit on geese, brant, rails and
Iuail. The attorney general has ruled
hat hunter would be permitted to
I'LL some of each of these species, pro-
ided he did not exceed any of the
limits. The limit on deer is 2 in a day
nd five in season. The limit on
quirrels is is. There is no limit on i,
abbits.
Non-game Birds-Birds of this class
annot be killed at any time. They in
ude everything except the game birds S

For A Live Stock Association.

D. Clarence Pierson head of
the East Louisiana Hospital for
the Insane and who is a great adj
vocate of the stock industry for
Louisiana, having already done
much to build the cause in East
Feliciana, is urging the organize
ton of a State Live Stock Asso-
citation. He argues that this is
the time for the movement, for
the admission is general that the
business will be one of the most
important factors in overcoming
the effects of the boil weevil anC
the tariff. The men interested
should get together, and one of
the first steps should be the en-
ployment of an expert as secre-
tary. to be the life OF the society
and get results. Many who want
to go into this business do not
know how to begin and need to be
started right. Such an associa-
ton would be IN better position
than are individuals to secure leg
islative co operation, in protection
against communicable and conta-
gious cattle diseases, the ravages
of dogs and buzzards and other
enpmies, and the question of fen
ces to best suit conditions in diff
ferent sections. True Democrat.
