Psalms.

He sendeth the springs into the valleys,
which run among the hills: They give
drink to every beast of the field; the wild
asses auench their thirst By them shall
the fowls Of the heaven have their habita-
ton, which sing among the branches. He
watereth the hills from his chambers: the
earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works.
He causeth the grass to grow for the cat
tie, and herb for the service Of man: that
he may bring forth food out of the earth !;
And wine that maketh glad the heart of
man, and oil to make his face to shine, and
bread which strengthened mans heart.
The trees of the Lord are full of sap; the
eedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted !;
where the birds make their nests: as for
the stork, the fir trees are her house. The
high hills are a refuge for the wild goats !;
and the rocks for the comics. He appointed
the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his
going down. Thou makest darkness and
it is night: wherein all the beasts of the
forests do creep forth. The young lions roar
after their prey, and seek their meet from
God. The sun ariseth, they gather them
selves together, and lay them down in their
dens, Man goeth forth unto his work and
his labor until the evening.-civ, 1923.

National Incendlarlsm.


1t is worth while to save 81 600, 900 worth
OF property from destruction; wherefore
the reduction of our national fire losses by
that amount in 1918 as compared with 1912
is cause for qualification. But that even
with that reduction the total loss last year
was S203, 408, $50 is a reproach upon our
national efficiency.
In one year Chicago has 100000 of
fire losses, while Berlin, city practically
the same size, has only S200,0O0. Is not
that contrast which should set Americans
to considering whether we are not suffer-
ing from sort of national incendiarism-
perhaps involuntary, but because of neg
ligence scarcely less criminal than if it
were Intentional?
Does it mean nothing to the American
business man, the economist, or the con-
servatonist, that in the last thirty two
years our national fire losses have amounted
to more than $4,000, 00Q.0 or twice as
much "a all the net public debts OF the
United States, national, state and mu-
nicipala
Perhaps il we took the European view
Of fires we should approximate the Euro
pean freedom from them. Here every fire
is assumed to be innocent and inevitable
unless it Is proved criminal. Over there
it is assumed to be culpable unless it is
proved innocent. There is radical differ
ence between those views and there is as
marked difference in results,

WHAT THE PAPERS ARE SAYING.


Brooklyn Eagle: Only 100000; 900
wasted last year in supporting armies and
naves! Think of the employment it gives
to kings.
st. Louis Globe Democrat: Opinion
still holds fairly good that Mexico better
"bust" and the European bondholders wait
long time for their cash, rather than kill
$4,000 American young men getting it for
them.
Georgetown (Kv.) News: A year ago
Mr.. Gilbert Bratton purchased forty acres
of land near skinnersburg for $1,000.
Last year he raised on this land small
crop Of tobacco, which netted him 1857.
Besides the tobacco crop Mr.. Bratton rails
ed enough other crops and stock on the
farm to furnish good living for himself
and family.

Do We realize how near we are to money
madness? How nearly universal is the
idea that money is everything? If the
captains of industry want more dividends,
they just agree to raise the rates upon
commodities and the consumer pays the
price. If the industrial worker wants more
money, he organizes, stops the factory, the
owner bluffs a while, until the public gets
hysteria, then adds the advance in wages
to the product and goes ahead. The ef,ss
ployes Of public service corporations want
increased wages, insurance and pensions !;
it is all added to the cost OF service and
collected from the public. Our civil ser
wants all want increased salaries and old
age retirement PENSIONS; it is all granted
and collected in increased taxation. The
miners want more money and it is added to
the price of coal. The idea is nation wide.
You see it worked out daily. There is no
law but 81 want" All economic POSSIBLE
tiles are disregarded. There is no social
or political obligation that stands against
covetousness. Some day in the future.
perhaps, some simple minded leader will
think whats the use to wait on strikes,
or hysteria, or political legerdemain; there
is great wealth. Why not take it?'' Then

The engineering venture next in import
ance to the Panama canal, it is said, is the
building of a new water system for New
York City. 1t is to be constructed at a
cost of S160, 100000, and work has been
going on in the last year at the upper end
of the system, 100 miles north of New
York. The water will be carried for this
distance underground through an aqueduct
compared with which, according to the
chief engineer, those yet to be found in
the Roman Campagna, which for centuries
were looked upon as one OF the world g
wonders, seem utterly insignificant.

People who are dissatisfied with Bossler
Parish, both in soil, climate and health,
would be dissatisfied with any country on
the face of the globe. Our winters are
extremely mild. health good, lands produc-
tive, markets convenient, wood and water
abundant and neighbors unexoelled for
sociability and generosity. Nearly all OF
our people who have gone elsewhere in
order to hunt better homes and to become
more prosperous than they were here, after
few years experience have returned,
having realized that Bossier was indeed
the land of opportunities.

The cotton farmers of the South are
slowly turning to hog-raising. They have
every facility for this business, and will
succeed if they study it. The universal
testimony of stockmen is that there's more
money in hogs than any other live stock
if it weren't for the cholera-and hogs
grown on forage are not as subject to
cholera as dry-lot hogs, Hogs will break
up the one crop system of the South and
it is to be desired. A one-crop country is
one-generation country.-Farm and

The phrase of Mind your Ps and o."
says the New Orleans Times Democrat, is
usually used in the sense of warning to
be circumspect or exact. There are two
different origins assigned to this express
sion. The one is that it arose from the
custom of chalking up behind alehouse
doors the debts due from customers, in
which the number of pints or quarts they
owed for we're made by strokes opposite the
letters t'P" and""Q." Charles Knight,
the editor Of the Penny Cyclopadia, thinks
it originated in printing Office. The ps
and qs in small Roman type are so much
alike that they are always puzzling to
printers apprentice. 1t is also used to con-
vey caution not to be deceived by ap-
parent resemblances: to learn to discrimi-
nate between things essentially>distinct but
which appear the same.
