Messrs. John Randolph, F. C.
Lacour and Will Hickman of
Paramount, Grant parish. came
this city this morning by auto,
making the trip of twenty-six
miles in one hour and forty-five
minutes. Mr.. Randolph stated
to Town Talk that the Grant
parish roads are in excellent
shape, but that the Rapides par
ish roads connecting with the
Grant parish roads are in a very
bad condition. He states that it
is very necessary that something
be done with the Claiborne road
which connects with the Grant
parish model road at Bentley,
and that the Tioga to the parish
line road is in need of work. =

FARM DEMONSTRATION WORK
BY X. H. Benton, Jr.
AGENT FOR GRANT PARISH
WARNING TO PROSPECTIVE PUR-
CHASERS OF SEED.

WAnlSlNO ~ EhOSI CClltE LOh-
CHASERS OF SEED.
1t is just as essential that care
be exercised in the purchase of
seed of any description as in the
purchase Of high priced live stock.
There is more difference between
individuals within a given breed
or variety than there is between
different breeds. This holds true
regarding seeds as we'll as live
stock. Just at this time of the
year, let me warn those men who
expect to purchase oats for fall
planting in regard to three things:
l. Get Louisiana grown seed.
Texas Red Rust Proof oats are
very unreliable in this latitude,
and are frequently infested with
noxious grass and weed seeds.
2. Buy seed from the man
who grows it. Seedsmen do not
know and frequently do not care
where their seed came. from or
under what conditions it was
grown.
3. Insist that the grower send
you sound seed. free from john
son grass, or other noxious weed
seeds.
Lespedeza seed for sprin g
planting should be ordered as
soon as possible in the season.
All Of the reliable growers of
seed are frequently sold out by
Christmas and indications are
chat the crop of seed harvested
this fall will be short.
1t is generally known that
large quantities of lespedeza seed
from the crop of 1914 are still on
hand, presumably for the pur-
pose of sale at the harvest Of
the current year, and both scien-
tiic and practical experience
have demonstrated that lespede-
"a seed a year or more old de-
preciates in germinative efficien-
cy, frequently as much as eighty
to ninety per cent, and for these
reasons, it is essential that the
purchaser of lespedeza seed state
distinctly that he wants seed
from the 1915 crop. and will have
no other"
For further information write

DAYS.

80 Your Tents, O Israeli

1t is related in the 18th chap
ter of LIST Kings that the children
of Israel petltioned Rehohoam,
son OF Solomon, that he should
make lighter the burdens his
father had imposed on them.
Rehoboam first consulted the old
men that stood before his father
and they advised that if he would
tighten the burdens of the peo-
pie then they would be his SER
wants forever. But Rehoboam
forsook the counsels of the OLE
men, and asked the young men
that had grown up with him
what counsel they had to give,
and they advised that he should
say to the people, MY little fin
ger shall be thicker than my
fathers loins, and whereas my
father did lade you with a heavy
yoke, will add to your yoke:
my father hath chastised you
with whips, but will chastise
you with scorpions" When this
rough and heartless reply was
repeated to the Israelites they
answered the King, saying,
What portion have we in David?
neither have we any inheritance
in the son of Jesse. To your
tents, O Israel. Now see to
thine own house, David" So
Israel departed to their tents, and
Rehoboam only reigned over the
children of Israel who dwelt
in the cities of Judah, a fraction
of the original twelve tribes, and
so Israel rebelled against the
house of David unto this day.
The people of Louisiana at this
time are very much in the same
position as were the Israelites.
The Whisky Demon has imposed
burdens intolerable and grievous
to be borne for long years upon
thousands of victims. Sorrowing
gray-haired fathers and mothers,
disconsolate wives. weeping wild
ows and orphaned children, have
petitioned in vain that the whole
sale debauching and slaughter
of their sons shall be checked,
that the Grazing and brutalizing
of husbands shall end, that the
making of widows and orphans
and paupers shall cease. The
only reply to these petitions is
that the State needs the money
that is paid into the treasury to
license the infamous whisky
traffic. Great God in heaven!
1t is wonder Jehovah does not
paralyze the tongue that dares
to make such a horrid claim. If
the license for liquor selling paid
