The Houma Courier reports the
case of a farmer in Terrebonne par

$3.50 from an acre OF cauliflower.
Mr.. Cantrelle raised three thousand
heads of this vegetable on one acre
OF land, for which he received Is

Quoting all commissions, express

Live Stock Industry Being De


That Louisiana has made and is
making wonderful strides in the de-
Velopment of her live stock industry
is apparent to any one who is at all
conversant with the conditions over
the state, according to Prof. E. L.
Jordan of the animal industry depart
ment of the Louisiana State Univer-
slty This development was particu-
larly evidenced by the splendid ex-
hlplts of live stock at the various
parish fairs. Carload after carload OF
strictly hlgh-class breeding stock is
oelng imported and distributed over
the state, to improve the native
stock. The tick eradication MOVE
ment is being pushed. Three par
ishes are now free of the cattle tick
SIX Others are enforcing compulsory
tipping, While twelve more will take
up the work in the early spring.

Cholera Greatest Menace TO Swine
Industry.


Inc one thing that stands in the
way of the hog raising industry of
Inc state taking its place as a chief
source of income els the prevalence
OF hog cholera. THAT cholera is a
germ disease and is communicated
only by contact with infected sub
stances is, of course, an established
TACT; but this fact is not generally
Known or understood. A vigorous
campaign of enlightenment by the
press of the state on the subject of
prevention oftasog cholera would be
a tremendous factor in removing this
obstacle to what should be a most
profitable industry. Write to the
Live Stock Sanitary Board, Baton
La, for full information.

THE LIVABLE TOWN.

Why are SO many country towns
going backward? During the past
10 years $50 towns in a middle
western state have decreased in
population. The rural districts of
another have lost 10000 people.
Practically every other middle
western state has suffered nthe
same way, and it is believed that
shortly every state east of the
Rocky mountains will face this con-
dition. At the same time every
large city in these states has shown
a remarkable growth in population.
This indicates that the young peo-
pie of the rural districts and small
towns are dissatisfied with condi-
tons, and gravitate to the larger
towns because of the pleasure and
better living conditions they hope to
find there. Until we make our
small towns attractive we cannot
hope to hold the young people.
There must be amusement for
them. We must stop the continual
nagging, the passage of narrow
laws, the constant fretting of the
older people who see in the pleas
ures of youth eternal damnation
and the end of morality. Times
change, and with them goes the
narrowness of puritanisn. In years
gone by, dancing was condemned. |
Now dancing is recognized as
healthful pastime. 1t is encourage
ed, or should be. If the young
people desire to dance the new
dances, why not let them? The
old people of today, if they dance
at all, waltzed and two-stepped.
where their grandfathers and
grandmothers danced square dances
and the minuet. Simply because a
fad is new, it is not necessarily
immoral. Encourage the young
people in all the harmless amuse-
ments Of the day, regardless of

FRED M. COLEMAN AGAIN
AT IDAHO STATE HOUSE

Fred M. Coleman, former deput.
state treasurer, who pleaded guilty t,
defalcations amounting to twenty fiv,
thousand dollars, is once again EN-.
ployed in the state house. He is en-
gagged in assisting James S. Bogart
the accountant employed by the state
to obtain concrete evidence regarding
the defalcatlons of Coleman and o. "
Allen, his superior, to be used in bring
suit on their official bonds in behalf of
the state.
1t was at Coleman's own suggestion
that the state depository board per-
mitted him to commence work. He
wrote the board a letter to the effect
that there were details in the records
of the office which they would have
little chance of Strengthening out with
out the assistance of someone who
was familiar with the transactions
which had been made.
Coleman made it plain to members
of the board that he would like to re-
ceive leniency from the state pardon
board in consideration of any assist
ance he might give the state in I'M
raveling the tangled accounts. Mem
bers Of the board declared they prom
ised him no immunity, but that he
decided to commence the work with
the idea that his rendering some ser
vice TO the state might in the future
have a favorable bearing on his ap-
plication for a pardon.
According he commenced work with |
Mr.. Bogart in the afternoon. A guard !
from the penitentiary stood over him. t
He was apparently the same Fred Cole
nan who was formerly in the treasur-
er's office, and he wore the same old
smile.
Coleman declared to the depository
BOARD that there was no shortage in
addition to the original ninety three
dollars. He said he would
,e able to show all the steps taken in
he defalcation and give the state the
violence it needed for it's case against
he bonding company.

THE HOPELESS FUTURE.
The saddest feature of the pres
ent war is the number of legless,
armless and otherwise mutilated
men who will be cast adrift upon
the tender mercies of the world.
Men may lose all they possess i'll
the shape of property, but as long
as they have health and strength
they can renew the struggle of life
courageously and hopefully. But
if they are blind or manned there
is little hope for them. How to
take care of the hundreds of thou
sands of cripples is a burning ques-
ton in Europe even now. Some
of them are being instructed in
crafts in which the naure of their
injuries will not act as a bar, but
a vast majority of those who are
MANNED on the battlefield will have
to get along as best they can. For
a while the "old soldier" thus
handicapped, will be pitied and
some aid will be extended. After

still less help, for it is not likely
