ed one, who is not also loved, may
occupy an eminence, but it will be
lonely, like some tall cliff visited by
the clouds and tempests of mid-heaven,
or blazed upon by the hot suns of sum-
mer, but never adorned by the flowers
of the valley, or refreshed by the loving
presence of humankind.
A man had two daughters-in-law One
was what is called a superior woman.
She had intellect and strength of char.

Germs, but he never loved her. The
other daughterin-law was mild, do
nestle creature made for loving and to
be loved. And the father loved her.
There was real meaning, a deep thrill
to his voice when he said, "My daugh-
ter" And the other, who was trusted
but not loved, would willingly have
changed places with Mary, who had
chosen the things of the soul, for the
father was great and good man, and
his love was benediction. His praise,
like she would have chosen his love,

REvERsIoN TO TYPE.

What is left of the civilized world to
be amazed and Mortified at anything
that Is done in this awful war stand
aghast at the wholesale murder OF non
combatants, following the sinking of
the Lusitania by a German torpedo.
The world had fiattered itself that 1t
had outgrown the barbarities in which
women and children were made to
suffer direct reprisal in war, but the
old, old truth that war is savagery Is
exemplified by the thousand instance
In this war. The destruction OF the
Lusitania approaches climax of such
horrors, and though no man can say,
If 1t will be the last, 1t has certainly
served to shock the United States
both government and peOple-from any
further attempt to maintain neutral
attitude to the combatants. 1t is, as If
Germany desired to force the United
States to throw off it's neutrality, and
become embroiled in the great struggle.
This will soon be determined.
The Lusitanias destruction is a
natural sequence of the atrocities COM
mitted in Belgium. 1t suggests that
among the German war legions there
is a REvERSION TO TYPE, they are
returning to the methods of the Goths,
the Huns and the Vandals, who laid
waste "the glory that was Rome" and
made their name a synonym, to this
day, for ruthless destruction. The
Kaiser, like another Attila, may also
wish to boast in time that mot sprig
of grass grows, where his foot has

though this sounds a good deal like the

for her daughter to go swimming-to
hang her clothes on hickory limb and
not go near the water! Let us hope that
the youngsters of Mansfield will find a
space large enough to dance or frolic,
without removing the fixtures. At

some recognition of the principle that

LOCAL ITEMS"
CaresSeS.

We reproduce the following from
The Youths Companion in the hope
that it will impress young readers to
the extent that they will want to report
| for this paper. We want correspond
ent in every neighborhood in the
Felicianas:
Fortunate is the country correspond
ent of any newspaper. His or her
work, although seldom paid for in
money, brings rewards that are pc
culiarly it's own. Especially valuable
| is the training in observation that the
correspondent acquires. The young
person always on the alert for items
will see and hear things that another
person misses. Moreover, the country
contributor has an excellent chance to
form an acceptable English style. At
first she may think that stilted Ian
guage and high-foWn expressions are
necessary. She may prefer the pas
sive construction to the active. Mr..
Smith is not building barn; barn is
in process of being erected on the
property of Mr.. Smith. But after a
time the correspondent learns to adopt
a more direct and telling style.
"In the beginning she is likely to
ignore little happenings in the search
for big items The editor has to con-
vince her that his readers like to have
homely country happenings simply de-
|scribed
"The person who writes for the
country weekly makes friends with
people for miles round. Often in those
who at first acquaintance seem COM
monplace and dull she finds rich ma
terial beneath the surface. A young
girl who wrote delightfully."- about some
old china belonging to a poor woman
near her home, attracted buyer from
the city, VINO PAID generous price Tor
the beautiful old dishes. The young
writer received as a present from the
pleased old lady the most valuable
piece of all.
"The ambitious country correspond
ent may send items to city newspapers
and to religious and household journals.
after a correspondent has become
we'll established, people write or tele-
phone to her about things that they
would like to see in print. That makes
her work easier; and since the news
paper supplies her with postage and
paper, her writing, even though it may
not be particularly remunerative, at
leasts costs her nothing"

THE PRESERVATION OF SOIL
MOISTURE.

The quotation from member of the
agricultural faculty at L. s. u, eve
must always cultivate for a drought in
Louisiana" has certainly been illus
trated this spring if ever in this state,
especially in some large sections. The
damage has been great and still the
drought continues. Despite so inches
of rainfall, or over, such conditions
often arise in Louisiana, and else
where. There is only one way to
prevent the losses which ensue from
such condition, and that is to pre-
serve a sufficient amount of this abun-
dant rainfall until needed by the crops.
In soils we have water in several
states. First, there is the free water
which passes downward under the &C.
ton Of the force of gravity; second,
the water held by the soil particles
against the force of gravity, which
forms an invisible layer about the soil
particles; then, the Microscopic water,
which is held by the soil and is in.
separable from the soil except by ar
tificial means.
1t is from the capillary water that
plants, for the most part, obtain the
water necessary to their growth. 1t is
the preservation of this water, then,
that is of most importance. In order
for plants to make their best develop
ment the soil must be in such physical
condition as will permit of root develop
ment. For this there must always be
sufficient water present for the needs
Of the plant and a continual supply
must be kept up. There must be no
large air spaces; the soil must be
porous but not loose, firm but not hard,
close-grained but not run together. For
the condition to be ideal the soil must
be we'll pulverized and then compacted
by pressure This makes many parti-
Giles and forces them close together,
thus enabling the particles to better
hold their water. This condition is
most favorable to the taking up and
holding of capillary water. That soil
which will take up the most of a rain
fall and dispose of it as capillary water
is the one to be desired
Tillage has a marked influence on
soil water. The operations of tillage
are usually classed in two groups-the
preparation Of the seed bed, and the
cultivation of the growing crop. The
seed bed should be deep and there
should be plenty of organic matter in.

RABBI FAvoRs EQUAL SUFFRAGE.

Rabbi Leipziger in an address at
Touro on Judaism and the Plea for
Equal Suffrage" said that Judaism, to
prove that it was living faith must
react upon all the changing interests
of life and interpret them according to
Jewish ideals.
"If the moral challenge of to-day is
addressed to social needs, the Jew
must look within himself, within his
own traditions and ideals to find the
unique way in which he shall respond
to that challenge" the rabbi said.
"Since the activities toward equal sui
frage are within this challenge, and
touch also the yearning for peace, for
morality, and righteousness, Judaism
must give a very definite reaction to
them"
Rabbi Leipziger made it plain that it
was his belief that the reaction would
be one predisposing the Jew and Jewess
to allegiance to the cause first because
| it is a cause of justice. There is no
justice" he said, sin the condition of
social and political life in which women
are subject to its laws and limitations
and have nothing to say not only in the
making of the laws, but even in the
selection of the lawmakers, and II we
of the progressive wing of Judaism
wish to lay just claim that our faith Is
a return to the spirit of prophecy we
must give ourselves to the causes which
are fundamentally protests against
injustice"
The rabbi found that the Jewish ideal
and yearning for peace also leads it's
followers to sympathize with the cause
of equal suffrage, and said: 1--WE can
not blink the fact that women too have
been caught in the current of national
passion and heroically give up sons and
husbands to war as the possible sacri-
fees to that passion, yet it is before
the waves of ever-intense patriotism
have inundated national life that wo-
men can render service in creating a
public opinion toward disarmament, in
|ternationalism and peace, and she can
do this best when she will be allowed
to stand in public life upon an equal
political footing with men. We may
not agree with the daring project that
sent women across the sea during the
heat of world conflict to confer about
peace nor need we agree as to the
method they intend to pursue, but we
must admit that they have given to
the world the much-needed proof that
the cause of peace produces it's hero
isms. This type of heroism is in line
with Jewish ideals and the women who
displayed it and their followers deserve
to have the power to express it Faore
and more in the life of nations"
Finally the rabbi expressed his belief
that equal suffrage was a cause that
should appeal to the followers of Juda-
ism because far from undermining the
integrity of the home it would protect
the mother and the child of the home
by demanding more than male suffrage
has ever demanded-the safeguard of
law against the explorations of modern
economic and industrial life.

THE OLD HORSES BIRTHDAY.

The Donaldsonville Chief contains a
letter from a Creole subscriber about
his thirty-year old horse. 1t gives a
touching picture indeed Of faithful
horse and a merciful, loving master.
But read the letter:
"Duplessis, La, May /, 1915.
Editor Chief:
my horse, Gray is 80 years old to-
day, and has been of service to me
since the age of years. He has never
had blister on the back or shoulders
caused by the saddle or collar, although
don't think there is horse in the
state that has done so much work as
he has done. Only once, during all
these years, was he unable to work, on
account of having a sore foot, which
kept him disabled for about a month.
otherwise he was never sick and was
ever ready to work when needed
"You may find it strange, but to-day
being his birthday is the reason why
am not hard at work with him in the
field. Hercules Babin."
Is not that naive touch about not
working because it was the horses
birthday? One knows without being
told that the old horse got extra good
feed that day and many tender
caresses.

A commission form Of government
for parishes. is good in theory. but falls
short in practice, because most parishes
are not able to pay the large salaries
that men, who give their entire time
to parish duties would require. On the
other hand there is medium between
a parish triumvirate and the large and
unwieldly police juries and school
boards which representation by wards
gives. In any parish, three on each Of
these boards Is sufficient, and If any
sort Of salary can be paid board of
three-a parish commissions ideal.
In every case only one or two men do
the work, then why not let them have
all the praise, or the blame?

EDITORS KEEP OUT OF PRISON.

Why is it that from the first inception
of our paper to the present time we
have never had an editor to sojourn in
our midst? Other professions have
been we'll represented. OF preachers
we have had enough to furnish sub
sistence to an African chief for year;
of doctors, sufficient in number to de-
populate state; and of lawyers,
enough to establish good-sized colony
in Hades. But editors - not one. -

Mrs. Upton Sinclair Is suing the
Jackson, Miss, News for publishing a
statement about her some time last
year, which she regards as defamatory,
It strikes one that it took her long
while to get her anger raised concern
ing the matter. These people who
"come to" long after the event, usually
have some other reason than the one
given for taking offense. Politicians,
for instance, who claim long after
wards to have been misquoted, in
variably have had the "garbled" speech
serve its turn and now want to benefit
by its opposite meaning.

corporated in the form of green crops
or farm fertilizer some time prior te
planting. This produces good filth ani
insures large water-holding capacity
After the crop is planted, cultivation
comes to be the object, to kill weeds
and other noxious growth, and to con
serve moisture. The latter Is by fal
the more important.
If the soil has been we'll prepared
and contains large quantity Of capiI
larry water, tillage is then to be di
rected to the saving of this by reduc
ing the amount Of evaporation to q
minimum. tbs well established by ex
perience that layer of loose dry sol
is effective in preventing the excessive
drying of soils. II this be maintained
throughout the growing season, much
water will be saved. The one thing
then, necessary for farmers to do is to
continually stir the soil a few inches
eep during drought to save the water
Very often we have light shower
during drought which Of itself will
do no particular good, but il properly
handled may do a wonderful amount OF
good, whereas, if neglected, it may re.
suit in Unreasonable harm. The soil
must be stirred Immediately after the
shower to prevent the loss of not only
the small amount of rain which fell,
but also a large amount of the capil-
larry water present. If this plan of
continual cultivation were followed dur.
ing dry seasons, much loss would be
prevented.
The question naturally aries, how
will we get seeds to terminate during
a drought? II the proper preparation
has preceded, this may be accomplish
ed by planting a little deeper and roll
ing or compacting the soil above, thus
restoring capillarity and influencing
the rise of water sufficient for germi-
nation. This compacted soil should be
loosened and mulched as soon az ger.
mination is secured.
