Cattle Tick and Hog Cholera.

From the Shreveport Times of the 2lst.l
The regular monthly meeting. of the
Northwest Louisiana Farmers and
Planters Cooperative Association will
be held at the City Hall on the fourth
Friday, the 26th of the present month.
The subjects for discussion at this
meeting will be the cattle tick and hog
cholera eradication and sweet potatoes
as commercial crop.
The cattle tick and hog cholera sub
ject will be handled by several State
and United States experts on these sub
jects, including such compent author
tiles as Drs. Whyte and Noys, of the
United States Bureau of Live Stock In
dustry, and either DR.. Dalrymple or DR..
Newsom, of the State Department of
Animal Husbandry. The tick will be
shown in all of its phases by illustrated
pictures, as we'll as the methods of Grad
ication, the use of and how to construct
dipping watts; the care of cattle before
and after dipping, and why there has
been some loss in dipping cattle will be
fully explained.
There is no question of so great eco
nomic Importance to this section at the
present time as food supply, and espec-
tally the supply of sufficiency of meat.
At present there are two serious obstacles
confronting the farmers of this section
in the way of producing cattle and hogs,
and they are both preventable. The
| cattle tick and hog cholera must be
stamped out before we can hope to take
prominent position as meat-produc-
ing country, and this organization pro-
poses to push with vigor to the end that
this may be done, and in as short time
as consistent with the means at their
command.
To the end that some feasible plan
may be put into operation to success
fully carry on this work, committees
from the several police juries of adjacent
parishes have been invited 70 be present
and participate in this meeting, and it
is hoped that every farmer and stock
raiser in Northwest Louisiana will be
present to aid by his advice and assist
ance.
The meeting will be addressed by Mr..
C. M. Porter on "Sweet Potatoes as a
Commercial Crop" Mr.. Porter has
spent thirty years of his life in growing
and handling this crop, and should be
competent to advise others.

In 1904 there were only los, 900 miles of
good roads in the United State. In the last
ten years there have been added $4,000
miles, and last year saw $4,000 miles of
good road constructed. Forty-two States
now have State Highway Departments, and
thirty are helping financially in road con-
struction. There is both personal comfort
and financial profit in good roads.

Frank James, with the exception of Cole
Younger, now living at Lees Summit, Mo-,
the last of the "James gang" died near
Excelsior Springs, Mo-, last Thursday.
Frank James was at one time notorious
outlaw, but he was even then a first class
gentleman in comparison with the Federal
Brigadier General John Neil, who murder
ed and robbed at will the defenceless citi-
zens of Missouri during the Abolition War
of Coercion. 1t was the Neils and other
brutal Federal commanders who made the
James brothers and others outlaws.

In the annual report of Surgeon General
Gorgas it does not appear that the health
of the soldiers has suffered much from the
absence of the liquor canteen. The report
reads: "Soldiers of the United States
army have enjoyed better health during
the past year than ever before. The hos
pital rate for the year was the lowest on
record. Typhoid fever virtually has been
stamped out. There was less alcoholism
than at any time in the army's history. In
spite of the large number of men on duty
in Southern ATTITUDES, the malarial fever
rate was the lowest since 1892, when Amer
lean troops were first permanently station
ed in the tropics" How men could be
healthy without beer and whisky will puz-
zle the brewer and distiller and everyone
who makes money out of the liquor trade.

there of two minds, if both perish
with the dissolution of the body.
By this one isolated fact a future
life is suggested and is further
strengthened, that while the obiec-
tive mind grows feeble and weak as
the body loses its vitality and is
extinguished when the brain ceases
to perform it's functions, because the
objective mind is the function of
the physical body; but the other
mind the subjective one, grows
strong as the body grows weak,
still stronger, more active and
powerful when the brain ceases to
act and reaches its maximum power
at the hour of physical dissolution,
because it is spark Of divine In
telligence through which God mani
tests it's will and demonstrates His
existence, human soul filled with
human emotions, affections, hopes,
aspirations and desires, but longing
for immortal life clothed with the
investiture of Heaven and in full
possession of its heritage of i'm
mortal attributes.
Those are the words of great
Scientist Mr.. Hudson, who finishes
the sentence by asking: Is it
conceivable that there has been
created such a manhood without a
mission. such faculties without a
function. such powers without a
purpose?"
| can hardly conclude this paper
without quoting the words of Shake
spear, who makes Hamlet utter the
words: What a piece of work is a
man, how noble in reason-how
infinite in faculty-in form and
moving. how expressive and admir-
able--in action how like an angel
in apprehension how like God"
Those are the arguments laid
down by modern Science and Phi
losophy to prove future life and the
Immortality of the Soul of Man, and
it is source of pride and graduation
to admit the inspiration of the Holy
Scripture and the complete sustain
ing of the religious philosophy in
regard to the doctrine of the human
soul and further that modern science
can only confirm in every detail the
doctrine of the Christian religion
concerning the future life and its
condition expressed so clearly in
the parable of The Rich Man and
Lazarus"
In conclusion we must say that
Science ceases it's revelations at the
very point where the Scripture
paused, namely at the portals of
the tomb. God gave us an assurance
of future life and science confirms
his words. Beyond that Gods lips
are sealed-beyond that Science
and Philosophy cannot penetrate.

THE PHILOSOPHERS
FRUITLESS SEARCH
FOR IMMORTALITY
Brief Comments Upon Me-
temSyChosiCal Theories
What Great Philosophers Have Said
And the Dim Light shed Upon the Sub
ject by MOhOmmedan, Buddhan, and
Christian Believers.
By II. Nobody.

In our time we have waded thru
many articles that had to do witt
the soul. We have held soul con-
versation with the master sages,
Socrates Aristotle and Plato and
come away still soul hungry with the
Great Wonder" yet unsolved.
Today we had the pleasure and
profit of listening to scholar give an
intensely interesting version O
The Divine Creation of Man and
the Immortality of His SouP'-and
we came away still unsatis6ed.
The Doctor has shed just as much
light on the Soul Immortality" as
did any Philosopher of old, and we
get as much spiritual illumination
from verse born on the Bowery as
we have ever gotten from any ad-
vance Thoughtist.. Geo. Cohen ex-
plains the Great Wonder" in an
admirable verse, thus:
with all we've thought and all
we've taught, why all we seem to
know is we're born to live awhile
and then we die.''
We 90 to Meta physics and ask,
why were we born? but metaphysics
hikes off the bed to answer her own
question: what do l know?
We go to Ethics and ask, why isn't
there some explanation for death?
Ethics, retreating back to its native
krall, mumbles. what ought I to
know? We ask Religion, Is there
any hereafter? Religion answers
from the darkness: What dare |
hope? Thus we find ourselves at the
beginning and still cropping thru
hope. We try to solve the mystery
by listening to new born life and
then we 60 to a dying sage only to
find him reading Pilgrims Progress
in the dying words of Goethe cry
ing More Light" We seek know
ledge from Buddhism of India, but
are forced to go to Confucianism of
China, thence to Mohammedanism
of Arabia. With the babble of
tongues comes a babble of ideas con-
cerning the soul until we are forced
to try again to gain an insight thru
the lattice of our dreams.
The Christianity of Palestine
knows less of immortality than did
the unlettered savage of five thous-
and years ago. Better we embrace
the Darwin Theory"-remain salts
fed to have sprung from the s,mian
and cease trying to spring to the
sublime thru the medium of "Ad-
vance Thought"
Better still to accept the explain
alton of the eternal Alpha and ON
ega from Count ToIstoi.
He says: Il see the revelation of
truth to the world thru Christ, for
twas Christ gave us the most light
even at that when we are about to
find the truth thru the grave our
last words will be for some light on
The Immortality of the Soul"
