Man Like Old Steak.

Frederick Townsend Martin said, af-
ter visit to one Of the Bowerv missions,
in which he takes profound interest:
The misery we encounter in these
missions saddens and at the same time
edifies. If the rich would only be more
charitable!
but the very rich, the very successful.
are prone to look on failure and defeat
with cruel, hard eyes. 1t is from the
lowly that true charity may be expected"
With smile and sigh Mr.. Martin
added;
Like the old-fashioned beefsteak, man
needs great deal of pounding before
he is even a little tender to others. -

kept busy in remunerative labor the
year round and the community will
have in him asprize much to be pre-
ferred to the hand who is laid off on
half pay large part of his time. With
the dairy COW on the cotton farm this
much desired condition can be brought
about.
There is a great need Of more cows
and more dairymen in the South, and
in Louisiana especially. 1t has all the
advantages needed to make great
dairy state, and when dairying is com.
bined-as it can and should be-with
cotton raising, it offers opportunities
unsurpassed, in my opinion, by any
section of the country to which the
wide awake man might turn.
The present system of growing small
yields of poor grade cotton at a cost
of nine cents and selling it for ten
cents or even less is such business
as would bankrupt the steel trust,
pauperize John D. Rockefeller and
start Andrew Carnegie building him
self matched cottage in the hills of
Scotland, instead of erecting marble
libraries in the cultured centers of
the world. Such farmers have to hire
to one who is more progressive in
order to provide themselves and their
families with the bare necessities of
life.
If the great combination of dairy
cows and cotton were made on every
farm in Louisiana now used for cotton
alone, in few years we might look
upon the fields now deserted or idle
and see them smiling with abundant
harvest.
1t is to be hoped that mighty van
will move over Louisiana crying aloud
for more cattle, better cattle, smaller
farms, better farms, and in the end Q
greater Louisiana.

FAST LOSING POPULARITY.

The saloon is being destroyed from
the economic side. Great trunk rail.
road lines will not hire men without a
proViso that if they frequent saloons
their contract is broken. Almost no
great business institution cares for a
young man who frequents the saloon,
The working people more and more
see that the rum shop is their great
enemy, that it botches their work,
lessons their hours of service and re-
duces their pay on Saturday nights.
Lord Kitchener, the other day, issued
an order forbidding the shipment of
intoxicating drinks to officers of the
English army in the war zone, stating
that they were injurious to the men
and the service. 1t is reported that
the Gar in this war has forbidden his
soldiers to have the vodka which so
disabled them in the Russo-Japanese
war. And it is also claimed in the
dispatches that the Car has closed
the saloons throughout his domain in
Europe, in the interest of efficiency and
patriotism. Secretary Daniels remov-
ed the wine mess from the officers of
the United States navy, on he ground
that it was not good for the public
service.

APPRECIATION.

Probably you have complained to the
ioorWalker or department superintend,
ent when salesgirl has been inatten-
tive or discOurteous. Have you ever
gone to the fioorwalker or department
superintendent to say word for the
salesgirl who was exceptionally atten-
tive and anxious to please?
Very likely you have written to the
general manager of the electric road
when a conductor rang the bell too
soon or did not notice your signal to
stop. Have you ever written to tell
him about the conductor who is always
courteous and obliging?
II you think one act necessary at
times, is not the other fair and gen.
erous? Are kindness and courtesy al
ways to be taken for granted in small
relations among strangers, or are you
reader to find fault than to express
appreciation?
A man in an Ohio city has founded
what he calls an" Appreciation League"
Its members agree to report" en-
ployees who are considerate and cour-
teous, to emphasize the amiable things
that people do, to watch more keenly
for virtues than for weaknesses and
faults. The league is an informal
organization; you can become mem
Der by beginning at once to practice
its principles.
A simple idea? Yes, but if it could
spread from ocean to ocean, what a
wave of kindness and courtesy would
sweep over the land!

BRAVO, Mr.. PoL.Kl

Hon. William Polk in Times icayune)
We have had movement of "buy-a.
bale of cotton" for the benefit of the
cotton growers Of the state. Now why
can't the cotton growers of the state
start movement of "buy-a-pound of
Louisiana sugar."
They know full we'll that the trust is
trying to drive the sugar growers of
this state out of business, and if they
will buy plantation white sugar instead
of standard granulated sugar, they will
help their own people and not put the
money in the hands of the trust, which
should be driven out of the State of
Louisiana. Why should we permit this
institution to live in this state when it's
only object is to destroy the sugar
planters and the little cane raiser? l
would have no mercy on them, as we
can raise sugar enough for our own
people and keep that money within the
state and employ labor and help out
people; so let Louisiana people buy
Louisiana sugar.
The city Of New Orleans is trying to
get its people to buy New Orleans
made stuff. Sugar, rice, lumber and
cotton supply the commerce that has
made New Orleans and kept our people
We are fighting for our
state and our people.

SMALL STORES CAN SELL
CHEAPER.
(Trade Outlook.)


The small country store can sell
goods cheaper, at a better margin OF
profit, than the big city store.
That is big fact clearly demonstrate
ed by ex-President Taft's Tariff Board
and is proven true simply because the
small rural store does not have half
the expense of his big competitor.
The rural store of the South and
Middle West can do business at the
smallest cost, while the rural store of
the East comes second and the Pacific
coast states last. Several failures in
the East of late demonstrate the
enormous cost of doing business in the
cities, and the advantage the smaller
store has over it's big neighbor.
1t costs 261s per cent of sales in dry
goods to do business in New York and
Philadelphia, and 81 per cent in the
large cities of the extreme West, as
against 161a per cent in rural stores
of the South and Middle West, or one
per cent less than the cost of doing
business in rural stores in the East.
These are facts borne out by rigid
investigation, and bit surprising to
many, and they are hard facts that
refute the oft-repeated assertion that
the great city stores sell cheaper be-
cause their costs of doing business are
less than the rural stores in cities of
the third class, from 5000 to 10000
inhabitants.
So another theory is exploded, and
we hope that the small merchant will
be wise enough to take advantage of
this and give large part of the diff
ference to his customer instead of
keeping all for himself. This game of
merchandise is nothing more nor less
than an old-fashioned 'hoss trade" if
you give the other fellow the very best
values you can get his money, else he
goes elsewhere to get what he failed
to get from you.
A little play on the facts brought out
in this investigation of the government
will be beneficial to you-use it in
your advertising and demonstrate 1t
in your prices.

MANS LOYALTY TO MAN.

And they stick to one another. Have
you heard the story that is on the
rounds-I heard it told at the hotel
last night-about Jenkins, of some.
where, one old time?
Henry Jenkins, newly-wedded sub.
urbanite, kissed his wife goodbye tell
ing her he would be home at six o'clock
that evening. Then he got in his auto
and started for town.
Midnight arrived and no hubby. She
could bear the suspense no longer, so
arousing her father, she sent him to
the telegraph office with six kilograms
to as many brother Elks living in the
city, asking each if her husband was
stopping there over night.
At dawn farm wagon carrying a.
farmer and the husband drove up
to the house. The broken down auto
was in tow. Almost simultaneously
came a messenger boy with telegram,
followed at intervals by five others.
All of them read:
Yes, Henry is spending the night
with me-"

BE A BUSINESS
FARMER.

Every farmer who owns
his own farm should have
printed stationery with his
name and the name of his
farm and his post-office
address properly given.
The printed heading might
also give the names of
whatever crops he special
ICES in, and of whatever
varieties of seed or what
ever breeds of hogs, cattle
or poultry he keeps. Print
ed stationery gives one
standing with whatever
person or firm he is writ
ing to, besides illsuring
that your name and ad-
dress will always be read
properly.
If you write to your con-
gresham or member of
the legislature, or if you
have a request to make of
your superintendent Of
schools, or if you wish any
information from any bus
mess house, your letter
will have increased weight
and get more attention If
you use printed stationery.
Even if you use post
cards buy $50 to 500 at the
time and have your name
and address printed on the
corner.
Get the habit of using
printed stationery. The
next time you go to town,
drop into our printing Of
flee and give an order for
1000 sheets of printed note
paper and 1000 envelopes
to match. 1t will be one of
the best investments you
ever made in your life.

LIE DOWN MORE.

The commonest cause of death is
heart disease, and, according to many
doctors, we are creating this deadly
peril by our habits of living.
That the alarming increase of heart
disease, due largely to the fact that
in these strenuous days people do not
lie down often enough and long enough
to relieve the severe strain on the most
important organ of the body, was the
argument of Dr. G. Harlan Wells, of
Hahnemann College, Philadelphia, in
an address before the Bureau of Homeo-
pathy Of the American Institute of
Homeopathy.
"Few people" said DR.. Wells, "stop
to consider the terrific strain they put
upon their hearts. Actually the organ
lifts about $50 tons more than four
feet from the ground during the av-
|erage waking day of the ordinary
human being. In earlier days the
people lolled around at every oppor-
tunity. People Of to-day fail to do this.
They remain in an upright position at
long periods and do nothing at all to
relieve the strain on the heart.
1.-THE savage usually lies fiat On the
ground when he eats. Every time he
halts he habitually spreads himself fiat
on his back on the ground. Lolling
around so that the heart would simply
have to push the blood through the
arteries and veins, instead of having to
lift 1t, would relieve the swelling of
feet and legs which are one of the first
signs of heart trouble. It would allow
the blood which has become settled in
one point to become redistributed and
revived. People would do well if they
would manage to lie down for an hour
in the afternoon at point midway be-
tween their waking hour and the time
they retire for the night"
A number of men of affairs whose
business keeps them at fever heat the
day through are prudent enough to
stop and rest for five or ten minutes
several times in the course of the day
and they usually spend this period in a
reclining position to relieve the strain
on the heart which a standing or sit
ting position involves.
A well-known banker used to say
that the lounge which occupied one
corner of his business sanctum and on
which he made practice Of reclining
for at least quarter of an hour in the
morning and again in the afternoon,
was of more value to him than the desk
at which he worked.

MOST IMPORTANT ITEM IN
THE PAPER.
(Exchange.)

(Exchange.)
What do you suppose was the most
significant item in the papers this
past week?
No, not anything about the war or
what was said or done in Washington
or about any prize fight, murder or
scandal.
1t was something tremendously more
important, though as matter of fact,
1t wasn't news at all, for we've known
it for years.
It was this:
Potatoes which are selling on the
farms of Wisconsin for rs cents a
bushel cost $1.O3 at retail in Chicago"
In Michigan live many farmers who
get even less for potatoes. Many can't
sell their spuds at any price, and are
feeding 'em to the pigs. But in Chi
cago, a few hours ride away, the price
Is half OF the average mans daily
wages; and, while many men aren't
getting any wage, the price of spuds is
steadily going higher.
OF course, everybody knows that this
isn't local, but a widespread condi-
ton, applying to most food products
and almost every large community;
yet here's the queer part of it:
This winter hundreds of thousands
of city mouths will hunger for food
which will rot on the farms figuratively
within a stones throw.
If we were at war with an invading
foe, we'd burn midnight oil to solve
problems of transportation
Being at peace we tolerate wastes in
distribution which keep both producers
and consumers poor.

THE MORTGAGE LITTER.
New Orleans Item.)

AANOW OllSduS lL6U.J
DR.. Oscar Bowling, president of thu
state board of health, has brought back
from Chicago vision of Louisiana
meadows and fallows dotted with tho
roughbred cows, producing from five
to ten gallons of milk day.
He spoke of May Rilma like most
men speak of their wives (when they
first get them). Who was May Rilma ?
Sounds like the name of a chorus girl
Could DR.. Bowling have?
No, dear reader; save your thrills.
May Rilma is only COW. But such a
cow! Keeping to her simple country
pasture at Berwyn, Pa, and never firt-
ing with the toros in the next field at
all, May Rilma last year produced
1858 quarts of milk and 1913 pounds
of butter fat. Her butter-fat produc-
ton made worlds record. Her milk
production averaged nearly seven gal
Ions Of milk day. Then there was
Murine Cowan, another cow, who pro-
duced 10 gallons of milk a day but
wasn't up to May Rilma with the
butter fat.
This state is so admirably fitted for
a dairy state" said DR.. Dowlingly
that it is a pity that the industry is
not given more attention. Louisiana
should be land flowing with milk, and
If any one wants to keep bees, all
right. The business is made to pay
wonderful profits in places not nearly
SO we'll adapted. Louisiana diaries
should pay more attention to thorough
bred cows. The purchase of cheap
COWS is short-sighted economy. Louis
lana COWS give an average of five quarts
OF milk day. In other words Murine
Cowan gives eight times as much milk
day as the average Louisiana cow,
md one COW eats about as much as
another if she can get it."
DIR, Bowling says that Louisiana pro-
duced annually $9,o0O,0OO of dairy
products. In addition the state imports
$16,O0O,O0 of dairy products. "At the
Bogalusa Mill Company commissary,"
said he, 100000 pounds of butter are
used yearly. This comes from Laurel,
Miss, because it cannot be obtained in
Louisiana with the same certainty. A
Lake Charles merchant told me that
his store handled about $50 pounds of
butter a day. He said he had offered
local dairymen five cents more pound
for their butter than he was paying for
the Western butter in order to en-.
courage the dairy industry. The dairy
men were unable to accommodate him."
DR.. Bowling declared that many
Louisiana dairymen are waking to the
advantages of good stock, and are re-
fitting their stock farms with thorough.
breds.
I'm Wisconsin and Minnesota" said
DR.. Bowling, "the nickname of the COW
is the mortgage-lifter.' Louisiana, with
green food practically the year round,
should lead every state in the union
as dairy state"
