GROW P[CANS, IS THE
ADVICE Of EXPERTS
Vast Sums Sent Abroad
For Nuts: Home Pro-
duction Small

Nearly S20,0O0,0OO was sent
abroad for nuts last year, local fol-
lowers of the industry say, and as a
means Of cutting down this enor-
nous demand for imported nuts
Louisianians are urged to plant pc.
can trees on their lawns. The
home production of nuts last year
was less than $5,0OO,0OO in value.
Pecan trees, little known outside
the pecan experts say, and one tree
will produce enough to pay for the
up-keep Of a city lot. In addition
to being profitable the pecan tree is
one of Louisianas most ornamental
trees. 1t is an excellent shade tree.
Abroad the pecan is practically
unknown and in America, it is esti-
mated, less than five per cent of
the people know pecan nuts. This
is largely due to the fact that the
supply has never been large and
the distribution has not been as
through as it would have been if
the industry were on . more extern
sive scale.
Pecans are indigenous to this
country and to the South especially.
Paper shell pecanS are one of the
star products of Louisiana and are
gradually coming to be known as
we'll as Florida's oranges and Cali
fornia grapes.
In fourteen years the imports of
nuts increased from $2,973,834 to
$19,728,924 in value. No pecans
are imported

The Right Thing.

There is but one rule of conduct
for a man---to do the right thing.
The cost may be dear in money, in
friends, in influence, in labor, in a
prolonged and painful sacrafice;
but the cost not to do right is far
more dear; you pay in the integrity
of your manhood, in honor, in truth
in character. You forfeit your
souls content. and for a timely
gain you barter the infinities.-

and, looking through a crack in the
board wall, SEW in the skiff three

woman. The skiiT rode low in the wa

June laughed in relief 1t was good

protect her. and she had almost run
down to meet them when suddenly
loud. angry voices came frCm the frail
little craft. There was bitter quarrel
in which the woman took a shrill part,
and as the boat landed the woman
jumped out and stopped swiftly. The
man with the scraggly mustache and
the scattered tufts of beard OH his face
jumped ashore. cursing. The woman
raised up swiftly and. with a shrek

long knife glittering in her hand. The
knife flashed down, and the man stag

raised again, but before it could de

had jumped from the boat, caught the
woman's arm.
June saw no more. She ran wildly

the trapdoor aside and scrambled into
the attic.
There were voices below. The quar-
rel, whatever it had been about, had
evidently been settled, for the woman
was laughing, and so was the big, raw
boned man. June peered down through
crack In the ceiling boards. These
two and the lean fellow with the

could carry. The big man with the

@1HE woman below was acting
strangely rs she cleared away
the remains of the breakfast
- and washed the dishes. From
time TO time she passed near her hus-
band, bending over slightly. and finally
she stopped beside him and listened to
his breathing. but she shook her head
and went away. Big Ben was quite
plainly fast asleep, sprawled IL com
plete relaxation. while lean Jake was
snoring with great energy The wo-
man stopped and touched her bus
bands shoulder He moved slightly,
and she went back to her dishes The
next time she came he did not even
twitch at the touch and with deft fin-
gers she reached into his vest pocket
and extracted a little chamois bag.
So that was how one woman solved
her money problem. and her burning
eyes told with what bitterness she had
resorted to this bold step. Of more
value than her husband. even in his
low profession. she was still his supine
inferior in the rights Of possession.

looking men and a roughly dressed
woman. who sat huddled In the bow.
All four were silent but their furtive
eyes roVed constantly over every YES
sci around which they crept- In the
bottom of the boat were a huge bundle
of celery and loosely piled tarpaulin.
Suddenly the woman leaned forward
and touched the nearest man on the
knee. He was u big. rawboned man
with a bropzed face and IA deep scar

the man turned his evil eyes IN that
direction. Surrounded by black coal

The woman shrugged her shoulders

head out of the window. At last they
were coming! He seized his coat and

KINSELLA OWES THAT
BOY SOMETHING GOOD

Dick Kinsella, famous head hunter
for the New York Giants, dropped
off at Dallas, Texas, few summers
ago and at once was taken into Gus
tody by Joe Gardiner, manager Of the
Dallas club.
"Hooray, hooray," remarked Joe,
you're just the gent l want to see.
I've got another Ty Cobb under cover
here"
YEAH answered Dick, skepitcall-
like.
This guy, femme tell you Dick
answered Joe, "is some baby, some
baby"
Quite so, quite So" said the man
hunter, his tone extremely bored.
The Gardiner story was the same
story that had poured into his ears
at every city and tank down between
Maine and California.
Get me right, Dick, get me right"
pleaded Gardiner. This boy is some
bird as an outfielder. Come on out
and give him look"
"All right" answered Kinsella. 1--WE
got few hours to while away here"
Kinsella watched that outf1elder
that afternoon and as he watched the
outfielder made three of the most won
derful catches that Kinsella ever saw
in all his baseball career.
What's his name?" asked Kinsella,
in tone which he hoped would dis
guise his admiration for the player.
Duncan" answered Gardiner. "Aint
he bird?"
"Fair-just fair" answered Kin
sella. Guess I'll stop over an extra
day and see what he does tomorrow
The next day Duncan performed in
even more brilliant manner. In the
early part of the game he made two
great running backward catches and
when he came in on a Texas league
drive and got it at his shoetops, Kin
sella was won over. Jimmy McAleer,
in his palmiest days, never made a
catch that beat that one.
whats the price on this man Dun

well, he's a good man and he
ought to bring pretty good bunch

can do business" said kinsella II

We'll, should think that about

rushed one of the score boys.
Hey, Joe, did you see that catch?
Vast it a pippin? Say, Joe he's some
baby amt he? Gee, if he could only
throw-if he could only throw. Pretty
tough luck for him. Joe, amt it, that
he can't heave the ball farther than
second base"
Oh, yes, Kinsela heard that score
boys remark. and like the Arab, he
folded up his tent and beat it with
out bidding any fond adieus.
History does not tell what happen
ed to that score card boy after he
was left to the tender mercies of
