Religion and Oebt.Paying.

HDr. Johnson gives the preachers
some wholesome advice about debt
paying. The preacher who fails
to pay his debts il no worse NOR
ally than any laymsn who fails
to pay, but the preacher has q re-
putation to maintain and it is
important that the clergy should
realize that they can't do some
things the laymen do and ''get
away with it," None of 10 have
any respect for preachers who do
not make an honest effort to meet
their obligations promptly; and
the church officers, Sunday school
superintendents and others who
are guilty of the same offsnse
are in the same boat. Some
of US have had to deal with
deadbeat preachers, deadbeat ell
ders, deacons, stewards, wsrdens,
Sund " school sup .rintendents
and others who occupy the chief
seats in the synagogue and for a
pretenos make long prayers and
thank God they are not as other
men, and if they only knew what
contempt most people have fer
their professions when mes sured
by their practices. we belieye they
would mend their ways.
Some of these people are good
friends and neighbors, very good
folks passing and repasslng, aside
from their lack CT common hon.
esty. But nothing they can do
will excuse that. The religion
that does not teach common hon.
ssty. and failure to pay debts 10
dishonest, isn't worth q whoop,
and, a. D. Johnson says. it not
only hurts the individual but it
doss irreparable damage to the
cause he professor.

GOING OUT OF. THE TICK
BUSINESS.

Tick eradication in the Parish of
West Feliciana is progressing nicely,
as we'll as in East Feliciana, and from
all indications both parishes will
clean up" and be released from ma
tional quarantine at the same time,
which will certainly speak well for
this part of the State, as these will be
among the first parishes of the State
to rid themselves of the cattle pest.
West FelIclana now mas rorty-tive
watts at which systematic dipping is
being carried on, with prospects OF
five more watts in the near future,
which will help to facilitate the work
of shortening the distance for some of
the people to drive their cattle.
A question with which we are fire.
quentIy confronted ESPECIALLY since
lOne or two of our sister parishes have
had the misfortune to experience some
difficulty in carrying on the work. is,
What is the objection to Graduating
the cattle tick? What reason is there
for continuing to harbor it? Why have
people in some instances been known
ACTUALLY to fight for its preservation?
These questions can be answered by
the recognition of one fact: That the
people who are Directing to tick eradi-
cation are people who have failed in
their estimate of the damage the tick
causes annually and will continue to
cause as long as permitted to do so.
Tick eradication is no longer in the
experimental stage. 1t has been car
ried on by the United States Govern
ment successfully for the past nine
years, during which time the State of
Tennessee has been entirely freed from
the pest, as we'll as a few hundred
counties in the states of Texas, Okla
homa, Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama,
Georgia, North Carolina, South Caro-
lima, and Virginia. and one needs only
to compare the cattle raised in the
! tick-free districts with those raised in
the tick-infested districts III order to
be thoroughly convinced Of the adj
lvantages of tick eradication
In some of the sections that have
been freed from ticks, where formerly
cattlemen made business of raising
steers which at three years old, when
placed on the market would average
500 pounds, now we find them produc-
| ing a type of two-year-olds which
weigh $50 to 900 pounds. But this
brings us back to the fact: that before
going into the cattle business we must
go out of the tick business

CAN BUILD BRIDGES

Franklin, La, July II, 1915.
Editors of The True Democrat,
st. Francisville, La:
1t was with qualification that read
in Saturdays issue of The True Demo
crat of the awakening of Old West
Feliciana." | am glad to see that the
people of West Feliciana have awaken
ed to the needs of bridges across those
treacherous streams, and are display
ing the proper progressive spirit by
authorizing, through their police jury,
the expenditure of $4,000 for these
improvements. With the principal in
gradients of concrete at hand in the
beds Of these streams, that parish can
do as much with $4,000 as parish
without these natural advantages could
expect to do with about $4,000; or
West Feliciana can save about 800,
A good mixture of concrete requires
about 1.46 bbls. of Portland cement,
0.44 cubic yards of sand, and 0.89 cubic
yards of gravel. The cost of cement
is about $1.75 to $500 per bbl., sand
81 90 to $500, and gravel $3.50 to $500
per cubic yard. So, with cement cost
ing $500, sand $3.50 and gravel $500,
the ingredients for cubic yard of
concrete would cost $3.50. Again TAX
ing cement at $500, and allowing $l10
for hauling the aggregates, we find a
cubic yard of concrete would cost
$3.76. The latter figure, compared with
the former, shows the saving, approx
mately, which the Felicianas, by natu-
raj endowment, are able to avail them
selves of.
l am prompted to write you, and to
congratulate you upon the success of
this enterprise thus far, for am salts
fed that the publicity, and the boost
| ing given this project in your columns,
has had a great deal to do with educat-
ing the people to the Importance of
this great move.
If these bridges are properly built,
which | feel sure they will be, the
people of West Feliciana will soon
follow that achievement up with other
beneficial improvements.
| heartily join you in your "Hurrah
for the Police Juries of East and West
Feliciana, and again hurrah"
Very truly yours,
