Some Southwest
ern Reflections

To-day the subject Of our de
liberation, will he, potatoes. Many
wears ago the famous economist,
Edward Atkinson, startled the
people with the pointed question:;
Doe, the South Know Beans"
OF course, everybody in H.
South know 'bcans---or thor &c
they did; but Atkinson am
whole troop of agricultural sex.
fists told them about the wonders
full fertilizing properties OF legumi-
nous plants, facts which have been
of iucstimablc value to Southern
agriculture.
The popular mand was startled
into a recognition of the i'm
portance of the. subject bv Mr..
Atkin,on's blui.t and in,inuatinS
interrogatory. Some folks got mad.
but they learned about beans, just
the same.
Does Southwest Louisiana know
sweet potatoes? Its people have
been growing them and eating
them for 4 hundred years, and the
question sounds absurd; but is it?
How many III Southwest Louis
lana really know sweet potatoes?
The Southwest Louisiana
Development Bureau is arranging
for a series of Potato Days in
this section and hopes to have an
expert to tell all about this much
neglected tuber. Planted for the
early market, properly cultivated,
carefully packed and intelligently
marketed they place new
emphasis upon diversified ag.icul
ture and bring handsome profits
from hitherto unsupported sources.
But they must be handled at
every stage, from selection until
they reach the ultimate con-
sumner intelligentlv and with the
determination to make the crop
pay.
For that reason the farmers must
organize themselves into clubs for
the more economical buying,
cultivation and marketing of their
product. 1t will not do for one
grower to plant one kind of seed
and another some other sort, for a
carload of mixed potatoes will be a
drug OF the market, whereas fancy
prices await the carefully selected,
uniform lot.
They must be on the market
early, hence only an early variety
should be planted, and planted
early. The potato is not a lazy
man ; crop---in fact the farm is no
place for the lazy man.
But Oil Potato Day to be an
nourced i'll due time, YOU will be
tod all about sweet potato growing
for profit.
y final word: The early markct
wants only the Pumpkin Yam; so
don't try to fool the market, but
plant Pumpkin Vans. Get pure
seed, bed them out this month and
if you want additional information
write to the Southwest Louisiana
Development Bureau, Lafayette.

they tell us that. II they will furnish
us a market where there is money in.

bring in what we grow any time they
want it. We always hauled our prod
ucts to market when the country roads
were not nearly SO good as now.
This Salem bunch of boosters makes
us farmers tired. When taey talk to
us they tell us all kinds Of nice things.
They say they wanS paved roads so
they can come out and visit us and so
we can come in and visit them.
They are real friendly out here. This
kind of talk is awful soapy. The next
morning we read in the Statesman that
the farmers who d~n't want to help
pay for these expensive automobile
roads are hayseeds, mossbacks. fools.

us things that ism t according Ia

REPUBLICAN VOTERS
SHOULD BEWARE
Party Should Be Represented
on National Committee
BY a Republican

The Republicans Of Oregon are en-
titled to have Republican named AZ
the National Republican Committee
man from this State. c. w. Ackerson,
who claims to be Republican, is a
candidate. He registered as Progress
sive January 8, 1914. Then signed peti-
ton OF H. w. Coe to be Progressive
National Committeeman. Then can
celled his registration as q Progress
sive and registered as Republican
and Immediately filed his candidacy
for membership on Republican Nation
al Committee. Has been an intimate
and convenient understudy OF the Pro
gressive National Committeeman and
seems now to be in combination with
him in an attempt to shanghai the
Republican organization. His candi-
dacy is being actively backed by par
ties hostile to the Republican party
and having personal interests and pri-
vate personal grudges to serve. His
erratic and excitable temperament has
frequently led him to flood the col
rmns of the press with violent attacks
upon the Republican party ana vicious
personal abuse of prominent Republi-
cans and lifelong residents Of the
State.
1t is q grave abuse for parties who
Nare not Republican to register as such.
It is a graver abuse for outsiders to
attempt the capture Of a political par
ty to crafty a personal grudge and
to promote party discord. 1t is an
abuse against which fair-minded men
OF all parties will rise In protest. We
can never have a reunited party by
pushing to the front political hotheads
and men who are political reformers
simply for the sake Of office. Having
been Republican only twenty-fonr
hours when he announced his candi-
dacy for the highest honorary position
in the gift of the party, Is some indi-
cation of what Nr. Ackerson's motive
was in registering as a Republican.
AS Hon. Ralph e. Williams is the only
Republican who is candidate for
Republican National Committeeman.
we feel warranted in urging all loyal
Republicans in the state to give him
their earnest and enthusiastic support.

appeal to the Legislature to make an

In her address to the Legislature
Mrs. Rose calls attention to the fact
that the celebration Of the Tooth an

Peg Leg and Glass
Eye Used in Fight,
One Duelist Hurls His Fake Optic

Wooden Limb.

CHARLESTON, w. VA, Jan. 10
A unique fight in which a glass eye
and a wooden leg were the chief
weapons used, was fought in Charles
ton last night.
Alexander James, OF Paint Creek,
and James Edwards, who came here
a few days ago from Kentucky, were
the principals,
1t all happened over a wooden leg.
Edwards, who is a peg-legged man,
loaded up with liquor and lay down
for a nap. A practical joker applied a
coat Of paint to the wooden leg and
then sprinkled, handful of horse
hair over 1t, making it appear hair
had grown on the artificial leg.
When Edwards awoke somebody
told him James was responsible for
the trick. A few minutes later Ed
wards met James, who has a glass
eye, and calmly unstrapping the
wooden prop struck James over the
head, inflicting severe cash.
James, knowing he had done Moth
ing to provoke the assault, snatched
out his glass eve and hurled it at

WRIGHT SAYS
.HE: HAS MADE
FOOL PROOF
AEROPL LANE.
Aviator for First Time Describes
StabiIizer, Which, He Declares,
viii Make Accidents in the Air
calIyImpossib|e in Future,

DAYTON, Jan. 10.-For the first
time since he perfected his aero
plane stabilizer, a device which, it is
predicted, will revolutionize air trav-
e. Orville Wright consented to-day
TO discuss his invention.
Mr. Wright has been noncommittal
on the stabilizer, but is now convinced
it will be possible, from present in
dications, to place it on the market
by next spring at the latest.
We have invented an automatic
stability device which will revolu-
tioniae flights he said. ut is more
accurate than any aviator can be,
and will make flying fool proof or
as nearly fool proof as anything can
be | have flown many miles with it.,
and have never touched the controls.
We are now simplifying it, and ex-
pect to be able to bring it to the
point where it may be put in general
use by early spring.
I'VE believe in making aerial work
as safe as any on land and we will
continue to labor in that direction.
We hope to see the day when it will
be lust as safe to board an aeroplane
and take long trip as 1t is at pres
ent to make this journey behind a
locomotive.
Can Not Get Out Of Order.
The stability device will go a long
way toward making this dream a
reality, and we are enthusiastic about
IT, our device insures lateral as well
as fore and aft stability. 1t depends,
in part, on electricity, and we shall
soon have the mechanism so perfect
cd that it will not get out of order,
and that means safety in flight.
Discussing the future of the aero
plane, Mr.. Wright said:
Mails will be so carried doubtless
oyer large stretches of territory in
Texas, Utah and New Mexico Auto
matte stability is all that is needed to
make it wholly practical, and 1 be-
li@ve we have solved the problem"
