And now comes the Hon. John
H. Cockerham, of Natchitoches
parish. who says he will take the
Job and do the right thing by the
farmers. Mr.. Cockerham is a
Young man and states in a letter
to one ofhis Winfield friends,
that he believes the office of Com
mission OF 4.xriculture is one of
the most important in the State;
that he is ambitious and possesses
the desire. energy and knowledge
sufficient to make the Office of
much benefit to the farmers. All
of which sounds goods, but we
have heard it before. However,
Mr.. Cockerham's past record is
good. Ha has farmcd most of his
life-actually titled the soil and
bias never been guilty of farming
the farmer. What's more, Mr..
Cockerhatn is a graduate of the
agricultural department of the L.
s. u, and has been identified with
the agricultural extension work of
the University in t his State for
several years. He has been
strongly solicited to enter the race
end we see no reason why Mr..
Cockerhaln's candidacy should not
receive favorable consideration.

Two of the American-Pres
Louisiana exchanges speak hope
fully of the resumption of oil
prospecting in their neighbor-
hoods. after holes have previously
been bored without developing
anything. Wewouh advise these
enthusiasts to. get their people
interested in drilling in corn, in
probing fol- potatoes or in sinking
water wells for stock, in prefer
ence to sinking holes in the ground
in the hope that oil will be acct
dentally discovered. Calcasieu has
been especially fortunate in its oil
explorations and has yielded mil
lions of barrels of oil. 1t also has
dry holes enough to tunnel through
to China. IF Calcasleu could trade
all its oil wells off for eighty-acre
farms we'll improved and culti-
waited, it would be much better off
now and for the future.

Federal Anti-Drug
Law In Operation.

Midnight Sunday tolled out old irreg-
ularit!es in the war on the drug evil.
City and state authorities are now
backed by Uncle Sans nationwide
cure for dope fends," the Harrison
drug law. The national legislative en-
actment went into effect at that hour.
Imprisonment or fine, or both, is the
treatment for any person who sells or
gives away habit-forming drugs with
out the instructions of physician.
Every physician, surgeon, dentist,
druggist or veterinary who dispenses,
imports or produces opium, coca
leaves, salts, the derivatives, or prepa-
rations such as ,morphines, cocaine or
heroin" comes under government su-
pervision.
New Orleans, it is thought, will be
one of the centers of activity of the
government agent. The revenue SER
vice staff has been increased to pro-
vide for enforcing the law and agents
will start out this week to check up all
physicians. dentists and druggists who
have not paid their internal revenue
taxes.
Small town physicians through Louis
lana are said to be chief among those
who have not registered. In the mass
of registrations to be filed recently the
agents expect to find many who are
users of the drug and who registered
in hopes of providing for their future
supply of opiates.
Regulation of the druggists, dentists
and physicians it is. said will regulate
the drug habit.
Physicians have estimated that there
are approximately 10000 persons in
the United States who are addicted to
the use of drugs.

The Telegraph meeting was held
at Temperance Hall, on Monday
last pursuant to notice published
in our last issue. Numbers of our
citizens were there, but not so
numerous that they could not be
counted in less than a minute. A
few persons of means were present
and subscribed literally; one or
two without means made a bold
appearance, for they had nothing
to fear, being unfortunately in
cased in poverty. A very large
number, however, of our substan-
tial citizens of this city and
vicinity, kept aloof, preferring
through modesty, we presume, to
leave the success Of the under
taking to others. Some wag re-
marked that had the meeting been
called to decide upon the qualities
of superior Bourbon whiskey, the
hall would have been too small,
and that even the members of the
Temperance Society would have
been on hand to see the effects of
spirits on man.
The object was to consider the
prosperity of connecting by Tele-
graph, Natchitoches with Shreve-
port, via Coushatta and Minden.
Natchitoches and vicinity is to
$4,000, Coushatta $500.
A commute to take up subscrip-
tons was appointed. Whether
they will be successful in their
efforts remain to be seen; we
hope so.

WOmen's Clubs.

Observation has revealed to US
the fact that one of the greatest
forces in the upbuiiding and civic
progressiveness of a community
are the women. Where women's
clubs, societies, and improvement
leagues prevail ard co operate in
the affairs of civic government
there is marked tendency toward
greater moral development, clean
illness and intellectual growth.
We can point out numerous
ways that womens clubs can and
do help town. When they are
organized, for the purpose of as
sisting in school work-the school
Improvement leagues for example
they render invaluable assistance
in keeping uD with the school
work, adding necessary articles of
furniture to the school building
and identifying and improving the
school grounds. The women work
faithfully to gather funds to con
tribute to improvements in and
about the school and keep an alert
and keen interest at all time in the
work beng done at school. We
will wager that the M others know
more about the school room than
the fathers of the children eyer
dreamed of, still all of our Boards
of School Directors are composed
of men, and in a great many cases
men who's Interests lie, not in the
school room, but in the political
pull and graft to be gained out
the Office. Where the women or.
ganize clubs to co operate in civic
affairs, although thew receive little
encouragement, they generally
prove that they know as much, if
not more in some cases, about adj
ministering the affairs of civic
government than the men who
enjoy that privilege.
The town that has the good
fortune of feeling the influence of
organized bodies of women, or
ganized for the purpose of CO.
operating IN clYi7 affairs, we be-
lieve, enjoys a more orderly
and better regulated government.
There are fewer violations of the
laws and the hard hand of justice
is less frequently called upon to
keep peace and order and to elimi-
nate hoodlumism.
We firmly believe that women's
clubs societies and organizations
of all kinds are big help TO the
development of any community
and we shall .unhesitating encour-
age, and assist whenever we are
enabled to, the women to organize
and operate in making our
little CITY an attractive place to
live.-Bunkie Record.

1915 In Natchitoches.

From the present indications, the
year that had just dawned promises to
be one of the best that our people have
ever known. The past taught hard
lesson but it taught in such way and
the lesson has been so we'll learned that
there is little danger of any more
tagging in the future. Our people will
live at home this year; more gardens
have already been started, poultry and
pigs are being raised than ever re
mernbered before.
Diversifcation will be the rule among
the farmers, as the slogan has been
sound; and reechoed until practically
all have learned the tone and it sounds
so melodious that throats will almost
burst in yodeling it up and down the
whole gamut of vegetation.
And all vegetation is we'll put, as
what other soil than ours can grow
any seed that is put into the ground,
and what other climate allow those
seed to grow two and three crops a
year?
Vegetables, poultry, pork, milk, but
ter, eggs, meal are possible on any
farm, it matters not how small and
when enough is raised to supply home
needs, than one can be independent of
the price of cotton.
Our people have already gone to work
to try this home-living, and when they
find out how we'll they are going to
succeed, they will be content, and con-
tentment and prosperity go-hand-in-
hand and so the outlook is promising
indeed.
