Silver Dollar Made of Corn.

An interesting feature of the Iowa
exhibit at the Panama-Pacific exposi-
ton is a representation of a silver dol
lar made of corn, true to the original
in form and color. but fouh' feet in di-
ameter. 1t stands on a pedestal also
made of corn, ON which a farm scene is
represented. A quarter of q million
grains of corr were used in construct
ing 1t. The small ends of the grains
were then glued to a wooden frame
work on which the outlines of the dol
lar had been drawn. Cornmeal was
used for filling the spaces between the
grains.

ago, when the board received q check
for S25.100 from two friends" There

$1,000 to $1,000, while the total num-
Der of gifts from parishes, individuals,
ETC., is S.127. Thousands are, Of course
represented in the parish offerings.
The interest in the campaign has kept
up during the summer weather and

In the last month.
Bishop Tuttle, the presiding bishop
Of the church, who forty years ago
was a young missionary bishop in the
far west and who is well known here,
has addressed a letter to E~piscopalians
which says in part:
II am an old missionary bishop OF
twenty years experience in the Rocky
mountains. 1t was the board of mis-
sions that generously stood by me In
the doing of IT.
THE same board of missions and
similar missionary bishops. twenty Of
them In the amazingly expanding work
under the flag and nine of them abroad,
as In the wonderful awakening nations
of the orient, are in the thick of the
same sort Of work that l tried to do.
Under them are 200 missionary
workers, and month by month these
must have bread and butter.
Hundreds of chapels. schools and
hospitals must be maintained.
do you know that last year our mis-.
sionary hospitals helped nearly 10000
people?
ITO do all this we must have near a
million and a half dollars each year."
Responses to this letter are coming
from oil over the land. Many prompt
ed by 1t are sending second contribu-
tons. The largest Of these has been
$500. Some have sent another 500,
and very many have sent lesser
amounts.

Care of the Stove.

To prevent your gas stove from rust
ing inside of your oven or outside sur
face use a few drops of linseed oil on
a cloth and rub over thoroughly. This
can also be used on coal ranges or 9TH
err style iron stoves, after which you
use stove paste to which a few drops
Of black coffee are added to moisten
paste, and then brush over. 1t will
polish up quickly and reward you with
q brilliant luster.

Egypt Buys 17o,ss7 Bibles.

Reports from Constantinople to the
American Bible society indicate that
the sale of Bibles in Turkey, Bulgaria
and Egypt has not been stopped by the
war. In Egypt 170,SG7 volumes were
sold last year, OF about 10000 less than
in the preceding year, when there was
no war. A translation of the Bible for
the Kurds is going on steadily, and
with war everywhere church scholars
In Constantinople are still ~endeavoring
to improve the Arabic text of the Scrip
lures.
Hard times in Egypt were attributed
to the change Of rulers and to the re-
ported coming invasion by the Turks.
The depression lasted n good part Of
the year, but there was Improvement
when the Turks failed to arrive and
British control became firmer.

EIatchitcches in Line with Dipping
Watts.

That Natchitoches Parish is
fully alive to the importance and
grave necessity of having public
dipping watts, has been evidenced by
the establishment of quite a few
within the past two years, which
number was augmented by several
more at the last session of the
Police Jury, bringing them up, we
believe to fifteen.or possibly more.
Our people realize that cattle rails
ing is going to be one of the
greatest industries of Louisiana
and many are beginning to wonder
why it has not been developed as
its greatest industry already, as
they appreciate the fact that few
sections are as richly endowded
for the purpose. as is this, Gods
own country, with its possibilities
for raising two or more seed and
forage crops each season, particul-
arly well adopted climatic condi-
tionS, plenty of good wholesome
water range etc.
War on the cattle ticks
which pest has been so harmful
in every section to cattle
raising has begun and when
the great markets in t h e
West, East and North realize that
this war is general and in earnest,
they will not only open up for the
Southern cattle, as our brethren
up there know that what ever we
offer is always of the best
Southern raised cattle will be
soon put in class by themselves,
as the best that can be produced.
But the finest thing to do is not
only to use the dipping vats your
self, but see that your neighoors
are doing so too. bring about a
hearty cooperation among the
farmers and put to good and
regular use the splendid dipping
vats that our progressive Police
Jury has placed at your disposal
IN every section of the parish.

A Good Platform.

To the Editor of The Enterprise:
l am much impressed by Mr..
Breazeale's announcement of the
policies which will control his
conduct if be is elected to the con-
vention from this parish.
One article of his platform is
deserving of special commenda-
ticn.
lie says:
Il favor uniformity of taxation
so as to compel the tax dodger to
bear his just portion of the bur-
den.
/ am opposed 60 the centraIizinR
the power of taxation. and believe
that the people should reserve in
their hands this chief function of
government.
am opposed TO any increase in
the present heavy burden Of tax.
Especially so as the people of this
parish have cheerfully voted large
special taxes in aid of the public
schools and good roads,"
The above is clear and CON-
prehensiye statement of what our
system of taxation ought to be.
The second paragraph of the
matter above quoted IS of vital
importance.
It may be that the executive
branch of the State government
ought to be strengthened by CIV
ing more power to the governor;
but the power OF taxation direct
and Indirect Ought to remaia for
ever in the hands of the people,
and in that of representatives cleo.
ted directly by them and directly
responsible to them. If the talk

assessors or other officers having

tax laws materiaIizes in the con.

ought to reDudiate it at the polls
and they will do it. Since the
fight for free government began, il
has been recognized by all intelli.
gent men that the people, who
pay the taxes, must keep the tax.
ing power in their hands, or else
fail to realize their dream OF free
