make amateurs; they make liars, ,"
has been the leader.
A year ago a movement was
started to organize a subsidiary
major league composed entirely of
college men under college coaches, to
play on major league grounds while
the major league teams were away.
The response to this was amazing.
More than 300 college baseball play
ers applied for chances to play
in that league. College athletes of
the past praised the plan, and scores
of them frankly admitted that they
had played for money in spite of
rules, during their entire college ca
reerS.
With Harvard, Yale, Princeton and
other big Eastern schools openly adj
vocating summer baseball, it looks
as if the colleges of the country will
at last abandon the hypocritical sys-
tenn that has failed.

BIG JOB FOR COCKTAILS

Btu JOB FOR GOE F1NLS
Washington, Jan. 31.-A job cut
out by the President for Col. Goe-
thals is the building of the govern
ment railroad in Alaska. 1t is under
stood that the administration would
like Goethals to consider this propo-
sition before accepting the sugges-
ton of George w. Perkins that Goe-
thals become the Police Commits
sioner of New York. The Alaska job
will be a big one and it is the desire
of the president to have it a success

better evidence of competence to
handle it than Col. Goethals.

the sordid; selfshness in politics
or the law for his own personal
gains was entirely foreign to his
great nature. With the ordinary
man politics means selfishness-
personal aggrandizement. But
not so with the great man who
has made that mysterious trip
across the Dark River. He may
have enjoyed the strife of po-
htical battle, but the end he al
ways sought was for the final
good of the whole people of this
city, parish and state. Wrong
he might have been at times,
but his bitterest political ene-
mics must and will join in a
mighty tribute to his sterling
honesty and worth. That he SO
often vanquished and was so
few times the vanquished, speaks
more than mere words as to
where he stood and how he was
regarded by the rank and file of
the ordinary citizenship.
The ability Of this man, this
great citizen, should have won
for him the highest office in the
gift Of the people. He sought
nothing, prefering to be the
statesman in private ranks. No
one can question the fact that
this man was head and shoulders
above the m run of men
who have been governors and
senators of this state; yet, rather
than shine forth in the limelight
as an officeseeker. he chose to
remain where the shafts of OPP
ponents could be met fairly and
squarely in the battle for the
people and the peoples rights.
Office to him was but an incident.

r EGGS A DAY
Farm and Fireside says:

Farm and Preside says:
When fed on exclusive wheat

eggs a day so far as the fat re-
%quirements of eggs are concern
ed; but when fed wheat and
nothing else she can lay only one
egg in two and one-half days,
or 146 eggs a year. In other
words, the wheat furnishes
three times as much fat as the
hen requires to lay an egg aday,

SAMUEL FINLEY BREEsE MORSE

An artist and portrait painter by pro-
fession. Morse became an inventor by
chance. A casual remark BY d fellow
passenger on board ship when he was
returning FROM London In 1899 caused
him to take up the study OF electricity.
That remark was: "Dr. Franklin's ex-
pertinent proved that electricity passes
instantaneously over a wire OF any
length Before the voyage was COM
pleted, Morse had invented the .sDot-
and-Dash" alphabet, and had thought
out n planned essentially the electric
telegraph as 1t exists today.
But It was not until 1874 that the first
line vas completed between Washington
and Baltimore, and the historic message
what hath God Wrought" was sent.
For years, he tried to interest Congress
In his project, then he visited England
and France hoping to interest the gov
ernments of these countries, but without
success. When he returned In 1889, he
wrote: 81 am without q farthing in my
pocket, and rave to borrow even for my
meals; and ever worse than this, I have
Incurred a debt OF rent by my ABSENCE
But he continued to petition Congress,
and finally was rewarded for hts persever-
ance by an appropriation Of $50. 900 which
built the Washington Baltimore lines and
placed his name in the front rank Of

Thomas Hardeman
Lewis, Sr.

A man who devotes his life to
the moral and material interests
of his country is great indeed.
A man living such a life and who
refuses political preferment from
the hands of his fellow citizens
stamps himself both as a patriot
and statesman in the broadcast
sense of the words.
Such a man was Thomas II.
Lewis, and in the hour of his
death the wonderful ability
showed forth clear and unmis-
taxable even though the Dark
Shadow was about to close his
eyes forever in that eternal bat
tie between Things Material and
Things Immortal. What more
could any man ask or expect that
when the final sleep was about to
ov srtake him he felt in his inner
soul his LIES battle had been a
great and good one and always
for the right as he saw it?
What difference does it make
that such a man, during the
the course of his existence,
stirred ND animosity and made
enemies, when those enemies
were the result Of some ones
blighted sordid ambition?
There were few men in this
state who had won the renoWn
at the bar and in the field of
politics as had Thomas III. Lewis;
there were few men who could
cope with Him and his wonder
full mentality in these chosen
fields of his life's endeavor. Yet
about him there was nothing of

G. F. BAILEY,
Deputy Clerk of Court of the Parish of
st. Landry.
St. Landry clarion. (Opelousas, La.) 1890-1921, 1914-01-31

He sought no such incident,
modestly winning laurels more
for the sake of the common good
than for any personal gain. Law
was the field in which he won a
! livelihood for family and self,
and his ability in that line was
recognized by friend and foe
alike.
Nothing could be added which
would make his memory bright
for all time but to repeat the,
mayhap, threadbare but ever
living benediction: Wei done,
thou good and faithful servant;
enter now into the Kingdom of
the Lord"
In domestic life his abilitiea as
as a lawyer and statesman were
laid aside. Tenderness towards
those dependent upon him, char
ity towards stricken mankind,
even took a lead over his abili-
ties in other walks. As husband,
father, grandfather, friend, he
will be sadly missed by those
near and dear to those who are
left behind. The writer knows
that those loved enes in his i'm
mediate family and many friends
will enshrine his memory within
their hearts until death issues
the final summons. Even SO
great a Humanitarian as Thomas
Fl. Lewis, during his life, could
not wish more. This writer
knows that thes illustrious dead
never played for the plaudits of
other men, satisfying himself
that what he did was with a
clear conscience that his efforts
were directed in the interests of
the right. That is enough glory
for any man to win or expect to
win during the curse of an
active life, and what greater
glory could he win on these
earthly shores?
The eternal silence Of the
has ended his labors, but
left behind is a world lasting
monument to his efforts which
will speak for him when mortals
forget the man and the citizen.

IMPROVING SANDY LAND.
Can you give me any informa-
ton how to improve upland that
has no clay subsoil? We have
quite a lot Of land that has a
sandy subsoil here in Buncombe
County. N. G.
Land of that character should
have the vegetable decay increase
in it to make it more retentive
of moisture and to darken the
color and to make it warmer.
1t is naturally leachy and the
organic matter decays very rap
idly in it, and must be continual
" renewed. Growing legume
crops and feeding them to stock
and returning the manure to the
soil will beone of the best means.
Down in the pine barrens at
|Pinehurst, Mr.. Tufts has made a
deep sand soil produce 80 bushels
of corn an acre. which six years
ago would hardly grow corn knee
high. He has done it by feeding
cows and using the manure. and
growing cowpeas and feeding
them. and constantly using every
means to store organic decay in
the soil. A good rotation of
crops is important as a means
for economically and profitably
doing the work. Corn should
always have peas sown among
it, and there should always be a
winter cover Of crimson clover
on the land to turn for corn, and
peas should follow small grain
for hay to feed and make ma
ure. Such land is easily i'm
proved, but rapidly loses the i'm
provement unless constantly re-
newed.-W. F. Massey, in The
Progressive Farmer.

ARE YOU A SOIL BUILDER
OR A SOIL ROBBER.

We believe it cannot be too Of
ten repeated, or too strongly
stressed, that the great trouble
with Southern farming, as a
whole, is not bad methods or
careless management, but a fun
damentally wrong conception If
the whole business of farming.
The average Southern cropper,
the average Southern land-oWn-
er we fear, has the idea that
farming is merely a matter of
raising crops, and that each
years work is largely detached
and disassociated from that of
the years preceding and follow
ing it. 1t is the business of the
farmer to raise crops; If he raises
good crops he is a good farmer;
if good crops are the general re-
suit in any particular year, that
is a good crop year; whatever
tends to make the crop on hand
larger is good farming; Whatey-
err does not affect this crop is
scarcely worth bothering with.
When-and not until-We real
ize that farming is a continuous

$3.50 PER ACRE C o
FROM Is ACRES

Farm and Fireside, the ma.
tional farm paper published in
Springfield, Ohio, contains in its
current issue an article entitled
"High-Pressure Farming" in
which is related the success made
on a 15-acre farm in South Caro-
lima. The records show a net
average income for the year OF
over $3.50 per acre. This farm
is located in Saluda county and
is owned and operated by R. B.
Watson and sons. Following Is
an extract from the article:
The farm contains, all told,
only Is acres. About one acre is
occupied with the house, barn.
carriage-house, packing-house
and yard; also. one and one-half
acres unfit for tillage was about
to be drained when this report
was secured.
Mr.. Watson, ST., has passed
his seventy-sixth milestone, and
he and his life partner have
made their matrimonial journey
together for ffty-two years, liv-
ing where his forebears have
lived for five generations. His
interest and delight in making
his little home place productive
and profitable has not lessened a
whit with the passing of the
years. Some idea of Mr.. Wat
sons physical fitness for farm
ing might be understood from
the fact that he had just return
ed from a horseback ride of
forty-fve miles from a religious
convention at the time this ac-
count was placed on paper"
