Almost No Potash Now in America

America bids fair to do without potash in her commercial fertilizers in 1916, says the current issue of Farm and Preside. "The war influence has boosted potash prices from around the $60-per-ton mark to $250 per ton for muriate and S225 per ton for sul- phate of potash, without much potash in sight even at these prices.
 "The July imports this year of sul- phate of potash were seventeen times less than in 1914, and thirteen times less of muriate of potash.
 There is considerable talk and spe culation about developing our own supply from different kinds of sea- weed and from deposits that have been found in arid portions of the country. But any supply that is available and sure seems yet to be future propo- sitiop."

Big Chances Both Ways.

The famous physician and the emi- nent clergyman were deep in discus sion which threatened to become acri- monious.
 "You see," said the minister sar- castically, you medical men know so much about the uncertainties of this world that I should think you would not want to live"
 "Oh, 1 don't know" responded the physician caustsically. You clergy men tell us so much about the uncer- tainties of the next world that we don't want to die. ."-Ladies' Home Journal.

PURPOSE IN LABOR

The surest means of success in life is honest, painstaking labor. There is no better way to build up character and attain true manhood and woman hood than labor for a purpose and with definite aim.
 This is true in farming. Young peo- pie who have an opportunity for hon. orable painstaking labor on the farm should do their utmost to accomplish something above the ordinary. It is difference between the ordinary and the excellent that leads to success in any business.
 Whatever is worth doing at all is worth doing well. No one can afford to neglect the task before him. Ex- cellence in work gives satisfaction that is worth all the effort it requires. Little things on the farm require great pains, great earnestness and great diligence. There are no little things to those who do great work in life.
 The farm and everything on it is worthy of the best effort. If the work does not inspire you it is be- cause you have not learned of it's i'm portance and the excellence of labor for purpose. Be sure you master your work and you will get pleasure from it. Give your work touch of personality, making it individual and distinct. This. may require zeal, pa- tience and persistence but it will help build character and represent the ideals of the laborer. - Farm and Ranch.

Summoned to Her Reward.


Many residents of this place were
grieved yesterday to learn of the death
OF Mrs. N. w. Sentell, which occurred
at her home at Collinsburg at one o'clock
that morning.
Mrs. Sentell's maiden name was Anna
Sherburne,' and she was born September
10, 1876, to Mr.. and Mrs. C. B. Sher-
burne of East Baton Rouge Parish. She
was united in marriage to Mr.. Sentell
June Is, 1902. Aside from her widowed
husband and other relatives, she is sur
vived by seven little children, the eldest
being now only about twelve years of
age and the youngest an infant only a
few days old.
These circumstances, to us, make Mrs.
Sentell's death appear most untimely,
and we are more inclined to grief. But
who would not miss her? who would not
deeply deplore the removal from earth's
sphere of one so charitable, SO neigh
borly, SO given to deeds that reflect a
kindly and generous nature? and who
could contemplate the sad plight in that
home to-day and reckon the hot tears OF
anguish and empty hearts OF father and
little ones and not be moved to tender
est compassion for them? Sad, sad in
deed! You grieve to-day, my friends,
for one whose every impulse was ennob-
ling, whose thought of your welfare ex-
ceeded that of her own, whose constan,
ambition was to make home more beauti-
full and more beautiful the characters oil
those under her willing protection and
guidance. Beautiful was her life and
steadfast her Christian zeal. These have
ever guided her footsteps heavenward
and her sainted spirit stands at the
threshold of that home eternal in the
skies reckoning you to join her. May
these thoughts and God in His wisdom
comfort your lives and heal your bleed
ing hearts.
| The funeral service was conducted a

had so often worshiped, Rev. G. G
Woodbridge of Plain Dealing and Rev
Jasper K. Smith Of Shreveport official
ing. The little church was not larg,
enough to hold the number of sorrowinf
relatives and friends who gathered t.
pay the last sad tribute to her memory
and when trusted hands bore the re
mains to the cemetery and the buria
rites had come to close the new-mad
grave was fairly covered to overflowin,
with beautiful floral offerings-tokens o
love from the hearts of those who he'll
her dear.

Rushing in spray,
Happy at midnight,
Happy by day
Ever in motion,

Still climbing heavenward,

Glad of all weathers,
Still seeming best,
Upward or downward,
Motion thy rest
Ceaseless, aspiring,
Ceaseless content,
Darkness or sunshine
Thy element

Let my heart be,
Fresh, changeful, constant,
Upward, like thee!
