The article on trucking, in another
column, is commended to readers,
wherein Bridges and West Company
give the experiences of various farm
ers in the Norwood neighborhood The
table of profits is encouraging, but the
principal and most valuable inference
is in regard to the small farmer. 1t is
the man who does his own work that
finds trucking most profitable, and to
such a man it is the message of hope
that despite small means he may &C.

One of the bosses at Baldwin's loco
motive works had to lay off an argu-
mentative Irishman named Pat, so he
saved discussion by putting the dis
charge in writing, says Lippincott's.
The next day Pat was missing, but a
week later the boss was passing
through the shop and saw him again
at his lathe.

"Yis, sur, Oh did, said Pat.

Louisiana bankers feel that they
have not been allotted as much of the
crop-moynig fund as they should re-
ceive, but Secretary of the Treasury
McAdoo says that Louisiana is not the
only state, nor is New Orleans the only
city, that feels sighted in this respect.
The crop-moving fund was promised
when no falling off in the Federal rev.
enues had been anticipated, and had
the war started earlier, there might
have been no apportioning of funds at
all. In view of the fact that the
promise was made and bankers had
made their arrangements accordingly
the original plan is to be carried out

STATE FARMS HAVE BIG CROPS

Col C. Harrison Parker, president OF
the penitentiary board of control, was
in New Orleans Wednesday morning
to meet Governor HAIL upon his ar
rival from Browns Wells.
"At present prices" said President
Parker, "this rise in sugar means
$250,O0O to the state of Louisiana. We
have a good crop on all four penal
farms, Hope, Oakley, Monticello and
Angola. We will make refined sugars
at Angola for the first time. With the
addition of $4,000 or $4,000 worth OF
equipment, our Angola mill will be pre-.
pared to turn out the finished product
making us independent of the sugar
trust. Other crops are also good"

The State Board of Education has
decided that the $4,000 appropriated
by the last session of the legislature
to promote the construction of "con-
solidated country schools" will be ex,
pended in new buildings, at the ratio
of one-third from the state for two,
thirds by the local communities. Thus
the expenditure of the entire $4,000
will represent a total investment Of
$4,000 in such schools. This ought tc
mean about fifty or sixty consolidated
schools, or about one for each parish

WITHOUT PREJUDICE.

The message of President Wilson to
the American people, printed in an
other column, is admirable He coun-
sells all to keep their poise, and to re-
frain from violating neutrality in that
subtlest of ways, namely, by undue
sympathy with one or more OF the
warning nations. This is indeed an
appeal to the highest order of thought
and feeling, for the taking OF sides
in any conflict, is an instructive ten
dency Of human nature. One may not
do even so much as Paul did; hold the
clothes of those who stoned Stephen,
but there will be wish, unexpressed 1t
may be, but deep in the heart never
theless that one or the other of the
combatants may win.
AS the President truly remarks, in
a nation like ours, amalgamated so
largely from the warning nations, the
task of complete and entire neu-
trality is doubly difficult. One feels
the drop of German blood stir in the
veins, or the English or the French
heart bred OF long-ago ancestors, beat
in sorrow or triumph.
The President is asking something
very hard of Americans, but it should
be done if only out of consideration
for foreign-born neighbors, whose
hearts are with the mother-country in
its varying vicissitudes, and who feel
keenly expressions of elation at any
misfortune that befalls their native
land.
Without prejudice, let the mental
attitude of all broad-minded persons be
to the war-news of Europe.

Conan Doyle thinks that to the large
circulation OF English novels in the

faultless, but she knows how to dress,
and has been taught how to talk
whether she does it correctly or not

IOWA FARMER RUN
DOWN BY HIS CAR
Forgets to Close Starting Lever
and Machine Starts When
Cranked.

John Bush, a farmer who resides in
the vicinity of Lost Nation, Iowa, mo-
tored to Moline Saturday afternoon on
a business trip, in company with four
women relatives. He left his car with
the women therein standing before a
local store, and entered to make a
purchase. After coming out he went
to crank the car, but he had forgotten
to close the starting lever, and when
the engine was started the car natur-
ally went ahead.
Bush was felled and the car passed
over his body, and was then brought
to a stop. The farmer arose to his
feet in an unconcerned manner, still
smoking the stub of a cigar, brushed
off his clothes, and after making a
remark about that pesky automobile
of his, entered the seat and drove
away.
