NOT A SOCIAL CALL.

you've heard a lot of stories about
the mistakes women make when they
come to bank" says a well-known
paying-teller over on the avenue, land
some of them are true.
"I've seen 'em all-the woman who
gets mad when we call her attention
to an overdraft and then wants to
write check to make it up; the
woman whose Endorsements have to
be asked for. They nearly all fall for
that.
But the worst came in few weeks
ago. She showed a check through the
window without looking at me. said
Madame, you will haveS to get
somebody to introduce you before l
can cash this check for you
"'Sir,' she answered haughtily. 4
am here on business and not making
a social call. do not care to know
you. '"-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

FARMERS AND THE LOUISIANA
CONSTITUTION.

G. J. Labarre in Times Picayune:
l see that Gov. Hall, in his effort to
get tax revision, calls attention to
the fact that our state institutions of
charity, schools and also our farmers
want help.
1t is indeed deplorable that our Gov
ernor should speak of our farmers
needs in the same breath as charity.
Mr.. Gallery also, in his Baton Rouge
speech, spoke of helping the farmer by
further exemptions. Gov. Hall knows,
as do our politicians, what the real
trouble is. Act No. 244 of our Consti-
tuition says, in effect that the Louisi-
ana farmer is irresponsible, not to be
trusted and shall not receive any finan-
cial assistance to make his crop. and
further says that he is immune from
the law so far as the collection of a
debt is concerned. The ancient
Babylonians branded those who were
convicted of an offense not grave
enough to merit Imprisonment or
death. Our Constitution has branded
every farmer in Louisiana as being in
competent, unable to take care of him
self, and, what is wore, has furnished
him an incentive to be dishonest
The laws of our land say that two
mules, two horses, two oxen, two cows,
calves, twenty-five head of hogs and
feed stuffs enough to make a crop are
exempt from seizure. The farmer can
waive these exemptions by bringing
his wife before notary, if he is in a
desperate strait for money, but then
| the minors are entitled to doWry,
and our courts are so socialistic that
the best legal talent advises to have
nothing to do with the farmer. The
saddest part of it all is that 80 per
cent of the farmers don't know any,
thing about this law until they get
into trouble, and then their lawyers
advise them how they can dodge their
creditors. The consequence is that our
farmers are not only ostracised from
the business world, but from the social
world also.
We will never succeed in bringing
immigrants to Louisiana unless this
act is repealed, and if it is repealed
Louisiana will thrive so fast that we
won't need any immigrants. A man
acquiring property must be able to
figure it as an asset in case of need.
Our present farmer has no asset under
the present law.

GOOD ROAD PROVERBS.

The United States Good Roads asso-
citation has issued a set of maxims,
among which are these bits of homely
wisdom:
II the roads around town are bad,
it might as well be on an island.
You can have any kind of road you
Iare willing to pay for; the poorer they
are, the more you pay.
Good roads means that you can come
to town with twice the load in half the
time you used to.
Good roads are easy on you, easy on
your horses, easy on the wagon, easy
on the harness.
A farm ten miles from town on a
hard road is nearer than a farm five
miles from town on a soft road
Good roads will increase health,
wealth, happiness, education, morality,
civilization and prosperity.
Good roads will decrease ignorance
poverty, encouragement, back taxes,
sheriff's sales and grouches.
All talk and no work will not make
good roads.
Go to road improvement with the full
realization that it is for your own per
sonal benefit and profit, not merely a
public duty.

TESTING SOIL.
The Progressive Farmer:

81 have head so much about the use
of lime that | ordered standard soil
tester. Tested some black soil with a
|hard-packed bottom, on which l usual.
ly fail to get a stand. Result showed
no lime. Then | tested samples from
Jail over my farm, and it showed no
lime, yet some places are productive
and some not. Please tell me how |
can tell when / need lime"
We do not know anything about the
tester" you used, but there is little
doubt that any soil in your section is
|apt to be acid and deficient in lime.
This can be shown, as we have often
|given directions, by getting some blue
litmus paper from a drug store. Mix
up some soil wet, and put slip of the
blue paper in it and let it stay half an
hour. Then if it has turned red or
pink it shows acidity and that the soil
needs lime.

After -Four Years Of DiscOuraging

Catron, Ky.-In an interesting letter
hom this place, Mrs. Bette Bullock
writes as follows: 81 suffered for four
years, with womanly troubles, and during
this time, could only sit up for little
while, and could not walk anywhere at
all. At times, | would have severe pains
In my left side.

HALF OF THE PLEASURE.

The youngest girl of a baltimore
family was recently much distressed
at dessert to discover that there was
ice cream for dinner.
ooh, papa" exclaimed the youngster
reproachfully, "why didn't they tell me
this morning that we were going to
have ice cream"
What difference would that have
made?"
"Lots!" sighed the child. II could
have expected it all day"-Lippincott's
Magazine.

A WORD FOR THE GROOM.
(Charles H. Chesley in Southern Vim.
dicator.)

Charles H. Chesley in Southern Vim
dicator.)
Everywhere we hear her praises
And the beauties that abide
In that marvel of perfection,
The sweet June bride.
But rise to ask question:
Is it folly to presume
If we, just in passing, mention
The sad old groom?
He's the man in somber clothing,
Like culprit at the rack;
But he serves useful purpose
He hires the hack.
In the ceremony proper
His is but minor part;
He's sort of needful pillar,
She work of art.
All the papers laud her beauty,
Columns telling of her gown
And her rare attainments noting
when she married Brown;
But ! wish to say in passing,
1t is neither right nor fair;
For there wouldn't be a wedding
If HE wasn't there.
