PHILOSOPHY.

A man living in Southwest Lou
isiana doesn't need to be stingy in
order to get rich. All that is ne
cessary is to stop the waste
Kitchen slops and vegetables
enough to maintain the family in
lard, bacon, aud hams are wasted
at every farm home.
Plows, wagons, farm machinery
and implements cause enough loss
from declaration by exposure to
the weather to pay handsome
dividend on the money invested in
the farm.
Enough sugar cane tops are
burned each winter to feed q sufi.
cient number of cattle to supply
Southwest Louisiana with beef,
milk, butter and cheese all the year
round.
Enough rice straw and rice
chaIff are burned in Southwest
Louisiana each winter to increase
the valne Of the rice crops, 1t con-
verified into fertilizer, by not less
than 6 half million dollars a year.
Enough oyster shells are vast
ed each year in Southwest Louisi-
ana to supply that element of
poultry feed to all the chickens in
the Unitsd States.
Stop all this waste! Shelter
your farm vehicles, implements
and machinery; put your cane
tops in sil0s and sell 1t in the
shape of milk, butter, cheese
and fat beef; iced a. much rice
straw as is needed for roughage
and return the balance Of it to the
soil; paint your homes and barns
and preserve them; convert the
oyster shells into poultry feed and
fill Southwest Louisiana with fat
poultry and fresh eggs.

The above statement of revenues
and expenditures shows an annual
defici. of $4,222.75, which explains
tina inability of the School Board
to keep the schools Of this ward
open for nine months with the
funds available at present This
annual deficit coupled with the in
debtedness of this ward makes it
imperative for the citizens to lend
THEM assistance to carry the spe-
cial school tax now being called
for.
The public school system of this
ward is now facing crisis and
the time has come when its friends
should rally to its support. No
other question affects more vitality
the welfare of the community, and
il is hoped that our citizens will
contribute their best efforts to in

THAT American business was forced
to trim ship during the pendancy ,f the
Wilson revision of business laws has
been proved to be an exceedingly
healthy thing The United States nee
essarily became involved in the financial
arrangement which accompanied the
outbreak of the European conflict; and
1t Is clear that we will not be able to re.
ly upon European capital for domestic
enterprises for a long time to come.
Hence, as many financial journals are
now saying, that it is most fortunate
that for many months prior to that time
American business had been adjusting
itself to the absence of foreign capital.

Humbling the Indian.

10 what depths of humiliation and self
abasement have the laws of the white
man carried the once proud red man OF
America?
The last chief OF the once powerful Mi.

IN war and was great in peace, was re-
ported arraigned few days ago in an
Indiana police court to answer to the
charge Of making ribald and drunkeA
remarks relative to the baegy trousers
worn by policeman.

LIKE A HARB0R OF SAFETY
Man Who Reaches the Ace of Thirty
May Congratulate Himself on
Many Things.

A medical lecturer recently declared
that in many ways thirty is the critical
age in the average mans life. Once
you reach thirty you have outgrown
many serious diseases On the 9TH
er hand, you become liable to many
others that seldom or never attack
people in the teens or twenties.
Anemia, for Instance, is practically
unknown after thirty. If you have not
had it by then you never will. If you
have, you win have outgrown it at
thirty or so. Acne, too-that spotti.
ness Of complexion so common among
young people, is certain to have van
ished by then.
Thirty, too, sees you out of the
reach of the gravest OF all diseases,
consumption. If you have shown no
sign of it by then in all probability
you never will If you have hitherto
escaped rheumatic fever, too, you are
fairly safe from it for life. Epilepsy
and goiter, too, never make their first
attacks on anyone who has reached
thirty.

Fathers and Sons.

Every now and then there is a report
IN the newspapers OF father disinhert-
ing his son. Just recently there hap
pened TO have been several such cases
rather prominently before the public.
AS rule it requires only little investi-
CATION into the circumstances to find that
the reason most often at the bottom of
the disagreement between father and son
is some ethical or tempermental trait
common to both generations.
This has been the story of fathers end
sons from the very beginning. Like NAV

the moral order OF things, hkenesses of

Labor Required by Farm Crops.

From the farm management point ct
view it is fundamentally important to
know the labor requirements of the var

IN Jefferson county, Kentucky, have been
worked out by !. H. Arnold. His fig
ures are based on a farm organization
survey made in 1913. A labor unit is

The first crop of potatoes requires
1917 man labor units and I3.4 horse
labor units for the twenty one operations,
while second crop of potatoes requires
9.5I man labor units and I4.3 horse labor
units for twenty.three operations. A
crop OF wheat requires one man labor
unit and IL horse labor units for the
nine operations. Corn requires A., 80 man
labor units and $50 horse labor units

Chaucer, Bunyan, Dante, and Shake
speare Among Great Writers Who
Suffered Persecution.

The first great figure Of modern
English literature, Godfrey Chaucer,
remarks a writer in Case and Com

bounded from pillar to post by his
creditors. So persistent were they that
the king of England in response to
petition took Chaucer under his spe

should be arrested or sued by any
body except on a plea connected with
land for two years.
The imperishable allegory on which
Bunyan's claim to Immortality chiefly

Roads Commissioner After the
Threshermep.

Exasperated because of the attempts
to secure by the ordinary channels, a cor
reciion Of the troubles which it has ex-
perienced in this county because of the
use OF the improved roads by traction
engines, with cleats, the Maryland Good
Roads Commission, IN court here on
| Tuesday morning, through Stoner and
| Weinberg. attorneys of Frederick, filed
bill asking for an injunction restraining
II owners of traction engines in Fred
! erick county, from operating such en-
gines over the improved highways of the
State. Judge Hammond Urner did not
grant the Injunction as asked, but set
Sc MEMBER 10th, as the date on or
before which the traction engine owners
must answer. and he then set September
18th as the date for full hearing in the
case. Judge Urner expressed the belief
| that the roads could not be damaged so
| greatly, until September 18th, and for
| this reason stated that he did not care TO
issue an Injunction or reiuae one, until
after a full hearing
The persons whom the Good Ronds
Commission allege are using the i'm
proved roads for operating engines, and
which engines contain cleatS are as
follows: Fl. c. CLAYTON. New Market;
Bowman Cashour. New London; George
Keiauver near Burklltsvlle; John Ho-
klttsvlle; O. i Davis, Arthur Peddicord
and Samuel Molesworh, Mount Airy;
II. Ropp Braddock; J. Harry Grove,
near Frederick; Granville Wachler
Frederick, and Z. J. Utterback, Lewis
town.
The Good Roads Commission alleges
that the improved roads OF this county
and State were built at a cost of about
So, 900 per mile, and that it costs about
$500 per mile per year to oil them and
that the traction engines break this oil
binder, and permits the road to rapidly
disintegrate and that by reason of this
the State is put to the expense of
spending large sums OF money for re-
pairs.
The Road Commission further reCites
that by law of the Legislature, it is au-
thorized to make rules and regulations
for the useof the roads by traction en-
glnes, and that such rules have been
made and published, prohibiting traction
engines with cleats, from using the roads.
n NloldtiOH Oh tHtSc rules constitutes
misdemeanor,
1t also recites that it has had a mum.

jury IN Frederick county failed to find
any bill against traction engine owners
who damaged the roads. There are now
10 or IL traction engine owners in Fred
erick county under bail for the Septem-
Der Grand Jury here.
1t is alleged that thousands of dollars
OF iniu.y has been done IN Frederick
coul t. to the improved roads belonging
to the State, and if the practice coa-
tinues the roads will be ruined. The
Good Roads Commission has also been
having similar trouble in Washington
