FIVE ADDITIONAL WOMEN AGENTS
EMPLOYED IN CANNING
CLUB WORK.

The parishes of Terrebonne, Lincoln,
st. Tammany, Winn and Pointe Coupee
have recently employed women agents
for canning and poultry club work
among the girls. 1t Is probable that at
least two other parishes - Calcasieu
and Allen - will also employ women
agents. Miss Alice S. Keller, State
Canning Club Agent in the Junior Elk.

several of the parishes recently to take

BREAKING THE NEWS.

In Liverpool there is a man, says
Pearson's Weekly, who is famous for
his calmness on every occasion. One
day he strolled leisurely into the office
of friend.

he began.

town"
"Oh, she wasn't in town." replied the
other. 81 called at your house."
81 didn't know she was receiving
to-day" said the husband, with some
surprise. 81 thought she had a head
ache"
"She didn't mention it to me-" said
the calm man. There was quite a
crowd at the house."
"a crowd" echoed the husband.
"Yes,' went on the calm man. "They
came with the fire engine"
1.-THE fire engine!" .gasped the hus.
band.
"Oh, it's all right" went on the calm
man. tits all out now. 1t wasn't much
OF fire, but thought you'd like to
know of it."

DISCUSSING THE CASE.
(Lamar Democracy

Did you ever sit and listen to law
yer as he cross-examined witness of
the opposition? 1t takes a wonderful
and active mind to handle this part Of
the trial. 1t runs something like this:
"How long did the defendant stay in
the house?" about fifteen minutes"
did you have a watch?" "No, sir"
You didn't have any watch?" "No,
sir" "How did you know it was fifteen
minutes?" 81 didn't know" "You
didn't know?" "No, SIR" What did
you say you knew? You didn't say you
knew" "No, sir" "What did you say
them" -"You asked me how long he
stayed in the house. | gave 1t as my
opinion that he was there about fifteen
minutes" ooh, you gave it as your
opinion that he was In the house about
fifteen minutes?" Eyes, sir" GAS a
matter of fact he might have been in
there more than fifteen minutes?" "He
might have, yes" "EIe might have?"
Eyes, sir" 1T might not have been fiji.
teen minutes for all you know, isn't that
a fact?" eyes sir, it u.s." eff some one
should come into this court and swear
that the defendant was in this house
thirteen minutes, you wouldn't be able
successfully to dispute the statement?"
mo, SIR" What did he 60 into the
house for?" "To make some arrange
ments about his brother-in.law's funer-
al" ''To make some arrangements
about his brother.in-law's funeral?"
Eyes, sir" WAS his brother-in.law
dead" Before the witness can answer,
the court intervenes: "Court will now
adjourn until 1870. The jurors should
be careful not to discuss this case, or
any Of the important testimony to
which they have been listening with
outside parties"

AMERICAN WoMAN's LOT.

Rev. DR.. Anna Shaw, the noted sui
fragist, in an address at New Orleans
Sunday afternoon, said:
Il was introduced once by a very
prominent man to large gathering OF
people, as woman with the brains Of
a man." said Dr. Shaw. "This was
meant as compliment, of course, bun
in justice to myself could hardly &C.
cept it as such. asked the gentleman
to at least be considerate enough to
show me the man whose brains had"
The speaker told her audience that
of all the women in the world, the lot
of the American women was the most
humiliating so far as things political
CO. The women OF France are govern
ed by Frenchmen, the women of Ger.
many by Germans, the women of Eng.
land by Englishmen, but the American
woman is subjected to government by
a conglomeration of all nations. All

States and in due course Of time de-
priVe the American woman of her birth.
right. She said she was democratic
enough to believe in the right of men
to cast their ballot, and could not see
why foreigner who lives here, invests
his money and rears a family, cannot
have the right to vote, but Is totally
unable to understand why she and other
American women are deprived of their
votes.
Southern chivalry was not discount
ed by DR.. Shaw in her address, but she
said it was a poor substitute for "jus-
tice." The men aver that they do not
want to drag women down to our
level" that they want to keep women
out of "the mire of politics, but have
never seen this 'mire' that they speak
of, but as bad as they say it is, they
make it."
DR.. Shaw does not believe that
woman's contact with man ON one day
in the year, after she has lived with
him three hundred and sixty-four, will
"pollute or contaminate her." She de-
clared the antis were the ones who
feared the men most, as the supporters
of the suffrage question were unwilling
to believe that the men are as black as
they sometimes are painted.

NONE WHERE NEED is GREATEST

The state assembly of Texas has Just
placed upon the statute books a COM
pulsory education measure-one which
is described by the Texas newspapers
as containing real merit. Louisiana,
at the bottom Of the list of the states
OF the union, with the greatest number
of illiterates, has steadfastly refused
to enact such measure, and has very
grudgingly given the cities of New
Orleans and Shreveport the right to do
as they please about compelling chill

A HARMFUL PHRASE.
(Memphis Commercial Appeal.)

lMempnls commercial Appeal.)
The expression, BE good, and you
will be lonesome" accepted now as a
truism, was originally spoken only as
a witticism. 1t was a carping sheer at
those who live according to the rules
OF honesty and decorum, with a hint
that the world will none Of them be.
cause of this living.
Trite as the phrase is, it has done
much harm in the world among those
who are weak of will and easily in.
fuenced. Nobody likes to be left out
OF the things that interest the "set" or
circle to which he or she belongs. Such
an omission means unpopularity, and
that is the heartbreak stone in the
lives of youth. Boys and girls, men
and women like to be popular; it ia
human nature; and here is the opening
through which that foolish phrase
about being lonesome if one is good
makes it's way into the consciousness
|of the individual and begins it's slow
work of rusting and corroding the fine
quality of moral courage which is
humanity's armor Of defense against
the ills and evils of life.
The witty saying becomes at first
warning and then threat. If you are
good-that is, if you do not do the
hundred and one little things that your
moral nature shrinks from, you will be
left to sit in corner and suck your
thumb while the gay throng passes you
by. The phrase does not, even by in
ference, refer to the big acts of wrong
doing, the real crimes Of which the
law is supposed to take cognizance.
For these the ostracism is obvious. But
it means the little misdemeanors, the
petty offenses at which society winks,
the small vices which fret the garment
OF integrity until the whole fabric is
frayed and eaten with holes. 1t Is on
the score of these things that the threat
OF lonesomeness Is made, and needed.
You must smoke or dance or drink
or chew or toyride or put aside the
niceties and conventionalities Of de-
corum, according as your conscience
sees these things and you must be lax
in your general moral outstanding, or
else you are going to be lonesome be.
cause all of your "set" does these
things. The strong nature meets the
yelled threat with composure; but the
timid person, shrinking from the lone
illness and also from the possibility Of
being caller queer" falls into the
snare of temptation and becomes an
easy victim to larger and more serious
evils.
Many word that is spoken in Jest
is barbed with a sting, and this yelled
threat, with Its coward-making quality,
is one Of them. The antidote Is a
that would instill into the
hearts of all people, but particularly
the young and thoughtless, that 1t Ia
better to be lonesome than not to be
good.

THE VALUE OF SUDAN GRASS.

THE VALUE OF SUDAN GRASS.
The Experiment Station of the Lou.
isiana State University makes the fol.
lowing reply to an inquiry as to the
value of Sudan grass: We have been
experimenting with Sudan grass on the
Station farm for the past three years,
and consider it a very promising forage
crop. If planted about the first of April
yields Of from three to six tons per
acre may be expected. You can count
on getting two cuttings a season, and
if conditions are favorable three cut
tings may be expected.
Sudan grass planted with cow peas
will give good quality of hay, but the
yield will not be as large as when plant
ed alone. When planted in drills about
thirty-six inches apart, about four
pounds Of seed per acre are required;
If planted broadcast, from fifteen to
twenty pounds per acre.
The quality Of Sudan grass is about
the same as that of Johnson grass. It
has the good qualities of Johnson grass
without the Objectionable features, and
1t is easy to eradicate.
