The great war will reach its
climax between the twenty-6rst
and thirtieth of July. 1t will be
practically over by October and
final peace will be established by
January, 1916, A wonderful era
will follow a reawakcning OF
nations, rebirth of art, a time of
inspiration and creation in which
the millions will participate.
Thrones will crumble and mon
archs will lose their reason. Eu-
rope will sprnut republics, and
there will be a social revolution,
seemingly without violence, which
will eliminate in the United
Government of the World. The
work is to be accomplished under
the guidance of a "Wise Man
from the East" whose name is
soon to be revealed, who will be
the dominant personality in the
world for two and q half or three
years. His first lieutenant will be
President Woodrow Wilson.

'sLouisiana, Pride of the South, !"
is the term used by A. q. Brokaw,
of Minneapolis, when he told of
his visits to the South. This is
the way he speaks of it:
Louisiana, pride of the South
and an empire in. Its own right, is
coming into its own. That its
productlveness has not long since
been made manifest, that its citi-
zenshlp is not double what it is
are only two of the mary wonders
impressed upon me.
The surface of Louisiana has
only been scratched. The North
should be glad to see some of its
sturdy sons located in Louisiana,
and when they come i am sure you
will End them practical. industri-
GUS, Tesonfceful and, in everv way
TO make good citizens. In several
of the sections / visited ] have

ties for successful and profitable
dairying. You in Louisiana have
some one crop ready for harvest

Legislators will have to tackle, tho
there are q number of other mat

Imposing On" the Merchants.

The Review has for some time
noted the thouehtless way in
which the public impose on the
local merchants. In town it is q
common practice for a lady to
step into the store and order q
Grn-oanE--rnrnhasa -aAnt To her
home, although she may be on her
way home at the time. There is
an element of selfiishness in this
which is inexcusable. The mer-
chants, for fear OF offending a
customer, cannot refuse. Another
practice which is even more repre-
hensible, is for q person, who is
not a regular customer, to haye
small purchases charg ed and then
compel the merchants to send re-
peatedly for the N )ney. Mer-
chants cannot be as independent
in matters of this kind as formerly.
Business is depressed everywhere,
and they cannot afford to offend.
The same people who so glibly ask
credit at home send their cash to
foreign mail order houses, of
which they never dream of asking
an accommodation. Port Gibson
