SCHOLARSHIPS FOR CLUB
MEMBERS.

In cooperation with the Louisiana
Bankers Association, the Hastings
Seed Company, and others interested
in club work, arrangements have been
made to furnish forty scholarships at
the winter short course of the Louis.
lana State University to prize winning
boys and girls from the corn, pig and
tomato clubs. This course will be of
two weeks duration and will be held
in January, 1915. Detailed informa-
ton may be obtained by applying to
the agricultural extension department
of the State University.
Heretofore, the prize winning mem
Der from each of the three clubs was
given free trip to Washington, d. C..
1t is thought that greater benefit will
result by giving courses at the Uni
versity to number of members from
each of the clubs who make the best
records. These courses will consist
of special lectures and instruction in
subjects in which the club members
are interested.

One great obstacle to school develop

superintendent of Education T. HI
Harris, in an address before the teach
ers attending the summer session OF
the Louisiana State University empha
sized this point, and declared that fol-
steady and consistent development the
schools must have more permanent
staff of instructors.
Sixty per cent of the teachers change
positions every year, Mr.. Harris said.
"Stay with your school," was Mr..
Harris advice, land if you haven't a
good school, make it one."
Mr. Harris believes that every pub
lie school should be headed by a COM
petent man as principal, and he point
ed out the great service which could
be rendered in these positions. To the
rural school, domestic science depart
ment, in charge of a woman instructor,
should be considered one of the essen
tails, and it is coming more and more
to be considered an essential in the
rural communities throughout the

LEND THE FARMERS THE MONEY
(The Progressive Farmer.)


"The banks in that section are full
of farmers money drawing 4 per cent
interest" said friend of ours recently
after returning from an extensive trip
through one of the South's favored
agricultural sections. And yet we
know that throughout that very section
thousands of other farmers, honest and
good men, are paying advances for
"time prices" which amount in some
cases to paying interest at the rate of
40 per cent pear. Isn't it disgrace
to our intelligence that while a great
body of farmers are letting the COM
mercial interests use their money at
4 per cent year, other good honest
farmers are paying 40 per cent year
for credit? Is that the best sort of
brotherhood" our twentieth century
civilization and Christianity can pro-
duce?

WILSON EXPORTS, "BE CALM

President Wilson Monday appealed
to the people of the United States to
remain calm during the war in Europe.
He declared the United States owes it
to mankind to help the rest of the
world during the present crisis.
The President declared the United
States could gain great and permanent
glory during the present trouble, pro-
viding no one lost his head. The Pres
ident urged that nothing be done in
America to add to the excitement of
the world. There is sure to be incon-
yenience to financial institutions of
the country, he told the callers, but
added that he administration is fully
prepared to help out all difficulties.
He added that no credence be given
to unconfirmed reports of sensation
al nature.
The President declared there was
no cause for any serious alarm in the
United States. The administration is
bending every effort, he said, toward
getting ships to carry the foodstuffs
and other products of the United
States to all the world and to bring
home Americans stranded in Europe.
A proclamation of neutrality, Mr..
Wilson said, will be issued as soon as
it can be completed by the State De-
partment. He does not believe there
will be any necessity for Congress to
remain in session because of the situa-
ton in Europe.

STATEWIDE MARKET
SYSTEM ORGANIZED

| Organization of a statewide market
ling system was effected by the Louis
lana Farmers Union at the final SEES
|sion of the tenth annual convention al
|Opelousas, last week.
The plan calls for a buying and sell
ing company with capital stock of &c..
900 with shares SIS each. This concern
will make produce contracts with for.
leigh commission firms, and develop
markets. The company will be con.
trolled entirely by the Farmers Union.
| Besides formulating the marketing
system, the Legislative committee rec
commended that the special session of
the state legislature be asked to con-
slider the following subjects:
Torrens system of land registration.
Graduate method of land taxation
with actual homesteads the minimum.
Government control of the levee
system of the Mississippi and it's trib-
lutaries was endorsed.
In the matter of constitutional amend
ments to be voted on in November, the
convention urged voting against the
Manlon amendment exempting from
taxation money on hand or on deposit
Johnsons amendment exempting
Monroe from parish school tax.
Clinton amendment increasing gov.
|ernor's salary.
Leopold's amendment for retirement
of levee bonds.
Harper amendment authorizing par
ish good road bond issues.
The farmers also endorsed the fol-
lowing proposed constitutional amend
ments:
Smith amendment for 1O-year tax
exemption for irrigation companies.
Byrnes amendment permitting
women to serve on boards.
Caulfield amendment making widows
of veterans, married prior to 1890,
eligible to pensions.
Generally amendment, licensing mo-
tor vehicles for good roads.
G. W. Smith amendment for recall
of officials.
Election of officers resulted in the
choosing of the following: President,

WHAT EUROPEAN WAR
WILL MEAN TO u. S.

(Staff Special to New Orleans States.
Washington, d. C.-This country will
wax fat upon the misfortunes OF
Europe.
This is the prediction of business
and military experts, who, in watch.
ing the great war clouds over Europe,
are estimating it's effect upon this
country.
Men do not raise wheat on battle
fields. They weave no cloth, manufac-
ture nothing. They only kill-and eat
food
Russia's peasants will turn from
Iplows to rifies-and demand will be
lopen for the vast amount of wheat
which that country normally exports.
Its great oil fields would be closed and
THAT will be fine for Standard Oil.
Germany's factories would either
close or run on so short force that
its great volume of manufactured goods
Excepting Krupp guns) would dwindle
to almost nothing, as its labor turns
from peaceful industry to warfare.
France, with her silks and wines,
her laces and other commodities which
she now sends out to waiting world,
would probably call for food-stuffs-.
and have nothing to send back.
England, from commercial mastery,
would become buyer, while Italy
would stop the outflow of her products.
All of which, say the experts, means
that America will reap fancy prices
for her products. The farmer who
helps to feed the vast armies, the man.
ufacturer who opens the throttle of his
factories, possibly the laborer who
goes to work, would share in the tolls
taken from the hatreds of warning ma
lions.
War is costly. 1t is run largely on
a cash basis. At the start there was
falling OF prices of stocks in Amer
lean industries, due to the desire of
European holders to turn their assets
into gold, with which to fight. Later
may come a reaction-Wilen thrifty !
souls, tired of paying the expenses of |
war, try to find investment for their
capital in a peaceful country. Then
the flow of gold may turn back for in
vestment in America.
It is expected that there will be large
lnroads upon the ranks of European
now in the United States,
should a general war start. Patriotism
and love of the homeland will draw
many back. Many men still owe mill
tary service to some oreign power and
these, in large numbers, are expected
to return, cutting down the working
forces of big concerns who employ
mostly foreigners.
A larger market, higher prices, a re-
1uced labor supply are the expected
results of such war-and these, say
those who watch, spell more money
and greater prosperity for this coun-
try.
Wages should be higher
Prices will be greater.
There'll be more work to be done.
And there'll be fewer workers to
