New Orleans, La,
March %, 1915.
Mrs. G. L. Breazeale,
Enterprise,
Natchitoches, La.

Madam
presume you are already
aware of the offer that has been
made by the Texas & Pacific Rail
way to furnish free transportation
to the Farmers Short Course at
Baton Rouge 1916, and pay the
necessary expenses while there of
the boy winner of this years Corn
Club contest.
As it is approaching the time
when they should be getting ready
or know about this, I thought it
advisable to inform the country
papers Of this offer.
The Junior Extension Depart
ment at Baton Rouge has given
notice Of it, but it may not have
reached some of the boys. They
would probably be disappointed if
they learned of this too late.
We are not asking this, as you
will readily see, in the way of
publicity for the Texas & Pacific
Railway, but since our road has
thought it important enough to
make this offer we should like to
have every boy in every parish
along the line of the Texas &
Pacific know that he might take
advantage of it.
We are not handling the contest
through this Office but they can
obtain all information by address
ing Professor E. S. Richardson,
Junior Extension Department,
State University, who will have
the contest entirely in his hands,
both as to the rules governing it,
and the awarding of the prize.
He will have also care and super
vision of the boys during the
short course.
If you would kindly do this for
the benefit of our Boys Corn Club |
members I will appreciate your |
cooperation very much. |

Good Roads Note.

No other citizen realizes the
value of good roads as does the
farmer.
A community can safely be
judged by the kind of highways it
maintains.
The greatest chasm between the
produced aud the consumer is the
mud hole.
Production must cease when the
transportation costs eat up the
profits.
There is something radically
wrong with the farmer who is
opposed to good roads.
Without good roads, there can
be no development that will be
permanent and enduring.
Bad roads keep children away
from school and impair the eff
ficiency of chur.' n work in com
munity
The elementary principles IN
yolved in improved highways are
Social and domestic happiness and
business economics.
Cheap money will solve many
of the farmers problems.
There is no; enough of the
community spirit among our rural
districts.
Success in farming depend,
largely upon proper marketing
methods, cheap money and CO.
operation.
Something is wrong in our
marketing system when small
crop brings more money than a
bountiful one.
Co operation between practical
farmers and proficient business
men will eliminate ignorance and
prejudice.
The highest duty of state and
Federal Governments is to place
agricultural education within the
reach of all.
The farmer cannot be helped
until he organizes, and the gov
eminent can best help the farmer
through organization.
By co operating with his neigh
Dor the farmer can learn new
methods of culture and the in
tcrchange of ideas will benefit
both.
The Nations menu must be
.asaadLa--as,-f..onn tho c.ss'1s gsFae.--,a---
orchards and gardens, and to farm
intelhgently the farmer must
know what is needed.

Marie Doro, one of Americas most versatile actresses, will be seen at the Empire theater today and to- morrow in a, film version of her great est success. "rhe Morals of Marcus produced by the Famous Player conn pany in five acts.
 This excellent play which met with such success in New r York, Boston and Chicago was written by William J. Locke and reports state that the film version is even better than the 1egi- timate production due to the fact that the details that could only be spoken of Oh the stage are shown in the pictures.
 The story is one, that will enter tain the most fastidious, dealing with the escape of Carlotta from a TurKlssn Harem where she has been placed Uy Turkish soldiers after taking her cap former vice-consu1 from England The story is replete with thrilling situa- tions that are highly entertaining.
 Miss Doro is supported by an all star cast of players including Eugene OrTnonde, Ida Darling, Julian LES trange, (who created the role of Pas quale in the original stage version of the play, at His MaJesty's theater, London) Phyllis Darlington and Hell en Freeman.
 The production has been staged in an elaborate manner.

Better Than CaIOTnel
Thousands Have Discovered Dr. Ed wards Olive Tablets are Harm
 less Substitute.

Dr.. Edwards Olive TabIets-the substitute for caIomel-are a mild but sure laxative, and their effect on the liver is almost instantaneous. They are the result of Dr. Edwards deter imitation not to treat liver and bowel complaints with ca1omel. His efforts to banish it brought out these little olive-colored tablets. These pleasant little tablets do the good that calomeI does but have no bad after effects They don't injure the teeth like strong liquids or calomeL They take hold of trouble and quickly correct 1t. Why cure the liver at the expense of the teeth? Calomel sometimes plays havoc with the gums. So do strong liquids. It is best not to take calo- mel. but to let Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets take it's place.
