the most profitable investment that

The Louisiana Agricultural As
ISOLATION is working for an appro-
priation for the badly needed Ag-
ricultural Building at the Univer-
sitv. Such a building, when COM
plete, will cost with equipment,
about S250,OGO However, $780,
600 will start it, and wings can be
added from time to time as apprO-
priation are secured. Nothing,
less than $4,000, though, will
serve the imperative needs of the
present time, without which build
ing the agricultural teachings 10
students and farmers attending
the short Courses have been con-
Quoted under great handicap.
Equally important is the need
of an appropriation of $4,000 to
$1,000 being made for the pur-
chase of a farm that will be part
of the Agricultural College, where
students can be taught how to
put into actual practice the science
Of agriculture, without which they
labor under serious disadvantage.
/ The University is asking for $25,-
900 for this purpose. It j. true

Manager ". l. Thomas, states that
his Company has just completed CON
tract with tie Kaplan Telephone Com
pany for a Farmers Exchange, having
at present about 80 subscribers, to be
connected with northumberland exchange
at Abbe.ille.
The kaplan Telephone Company will
serve at present subscribers in the town
of Kaplan, at Smith Settlement, about
SIX miles below Kaplln and Cossiuade,
three miles north. The Kaplan Tele-
phone Company expects to extend their
service to all points i'll the Parish, with
in radius of 20 miles, or more, Of
Kaplan and expects within a year to
have near 100 stations.
Under the plan of the Bell System.
telephone service is furnished to farm
ers through Toll Stations, Farmers FIX
changes and Farmers Lines, at very low
cost.
The value of telephone service in the
country has been thoroughly demon
strated and farmers i'll all sections ofthe
south are taking this modern means of
communication. 1t saves time and
enables the Farmers and his family 10
enjoy social intercourse with neighbors
/ and friends without the necessity OF
leaving home. II is also of particular
advantage to merchants and business
men III the town, by reason of placing
the country residences in reach of them
at all times.
Mr.. Thomas states that his Company
is encouraging farmers to secure tele-
phone service, and that the proposition
offered by the Bell System solves the
problem of cost by placing the owner
ship of the lines and instruments in the
farmer.

The Farmers Call.

One Of the matters vitality a1iect-
ing the agricultural interests OF
Louisiana, and which will be
brought up for legislative action
at the approaching extra session
of the General Assembly, IS that
of all appropriation for the long
needed Improvement of education
al facilities at the Louisiana State
University. This is a crying need
which must be needed.
The advancement Of the State 5
agriculture is directly dependent
on the teachings of the Agricultural
College, upon which institution
there is a constantly increasing
demand from the farmers. If we
are to record material progress
along agricultural and live stock
lines that the drift from the one
crop idea entails, our legislators
must make proper provision ter
the increased tax put upon the
University resources, and respond
to the farmers call without further
delay.
At the last Short Course, held
at Louisiana State University in
January, where there were over
three hundred representative farm-
ers and stock raisers i'll attendance
resolutions were drawn up by that
BODY calling on the General Assem-
bly, to provide a suitable Agricul
tural Building and other improve
ments for the University. AS
result Of those resolutions, the
Louisiana Agricultural Association
which is made up of the member
ship of the leading agricultural ant

Pull together, brethren.

Pull together, brethren. We
are all here for the same pur-
pose. Then live and let live.
The best way to build up town
is for each and every man to
pull together and not strive to
rend and tear down. All the resi-
dents OF a town are partners,
not opponents. In all likelihood
the more business done by your
rival the more you will do.
Every merchant who treats his
customers honestly and fairly
will get his share and the more
business that can be secured by
united effort, the better it will
be for all. When a town ceases
to grow it commences to die, and
the more people try to kill each
other off in business and good
name the more rapidly will utter
ruia come to all. Stand togeth-
er for the advancement of every
citizen, and if a man shows the
ability to, prosper do not pull
zh,n back with jealousy or
weight him down with cold in
difference.

YOU MUST WORK.

Whether you handle pick or
pen, a wheelbarrow or a set OF
books, dig bitches or edit a pap
er. ring an auction bell or write
funny things, you must work.
Don't be afraid of killing your
self with work. Work gives an
appetite for meals, gives the ap-
probation of a holiday. There
are young men who do not work
but the world is not proud of
them. It does not even know
their names, it simply speaks Of
them as old so and SOS boy. The
great busy world does not even
know that they are here. So
find out what you want to do
and do it, take off your coat and
make a dust in the world. The
buster you are the less aeviltry
you will get into, the sweeter
will be your sleep and better
satisfied will the world be with
you.

DON'T BE PESsIMISTIc

Don't be pessimistic so far as
your home town is concerned.
Can't you see that if you go
about with a long face. bewailing
the miserable fate of your home
town, it only pulls it down?
Don't say that the town is dead,
that it's citizens are back num-
bers, that the population is
steadily decreasing and a hund-
red other evils that probably ex-
ist only in your own mind. If
you can't say anything good,
then keep still. Don't let other
people know that you haven't
the energy to move away from
such a miserable hole as you
claim you are living in. If you
are a property owner don't tell
the whole world that your prop
erty is worth just half as much
as it was a year ago. 1t is very
possible they may believe you
and some day you may want to
sell the property and you will
be able to get just half its worth
So you see when you talk
against your home town it only
hurts yourself. Your town has
as good a chance as many other
towns, of becoming an enter
prising city. Allit needs is a
few good boosters. So put your
shoulder to the wheel and boost
and the result will richly repay
you for your trouble.

At present cotton is tied up
more or less by embargoes lev
led principally at the instance of
England, which country has am
pie supplies for her immediate
needs and some to spare to her
allies. England is fixing the
present low price and prevent
ing the free sale to Germany,
Austria and other countries that
would gladly enter the market
and increase the price to the
consumer.
The situation is one of hard.
ship to the south and there are
those who think it can only be
relieved by very drastic action
on the part of the United States
action that would seem to ser.
iously threaten war.
It is quite probable that the
United States would be justified
in demanding and enforcing free
trade in cotton, but whether the
United States does that or not,
it is clearly within the power Of
this country to help the south
ern producer ont of the present
dilemma.
If congress will at its next ses
sion valorize the present crop of
cotton at something like 10 or 12
cents a pound as it can easily do
it will help the southern cotton
producer out of a serious situa-
ton and do no harm to anybody.
But in view of what has been
done all along-the opportuni-
ties there have been for helping
the cotton producer. and helping
him legitimately-we do not ad-
wise our readers to look for as
sistance from the government.
If he gets help in the present
situation he is going to have to
help himself very much as he
has been doing.-Yorkville En-

PROHIBITION ELECTION.

Following is the law bearing
on the prohibition election to be
held in September:
This election will be held on
Tuesday September "a. There
will be two ballots, as provided
by the statue, one, ''For the
manufacture and sale Of alcoholic
liquors and beverages in South
Carolina the other Against
the sale and manufacture of
alcoholic liquors and beverages
in South Carolina"
There will be but one ballot
box. If the result Of the elec.
ton is against the manufacture
and sale, the county dispensary
will be closed after the Slst, of
December, and the sale of alco.
holic liquors and beverages
within the state will be unlaw-
full after that time.
This has nothing to do with
the gallon-a-month law, regnlat-
ing the importation of liquors
from outside the state.
Ali persons who are elibible
and desire to vote in this cleo.
ton must have a registration
certificate and a receipt showing
the payment of all his taxes for
the year 1914.
To vote in this election per-
son must have been registered
more than 80 days before the
election. unless he becomes OF
age within the 80 days.
It is earnestly desired by
those favoring prohibition that
the election shall be a full ex-
preston of the people, both for
and against prohibition. And
for that reason, all persons who
are eligible to do so, are urged
to register and vote.

LOOKING FOR OPPORTUNITIES.

A wise and honest man, a man
of ability and earnestness, is not
troubled about looking for op.

portunities everywhere are on
a constant outlook for such men.
1t is the numbskull and street
loafer who is continually talk

lack of opportunities. AS a rule

is sad fact, but every village

small and quiet, but is large aud

man of practical ability to be
happy and do something noble
and useful.
1t is all fol-de-rol to be ever

RIGHTS OF TIE COTTON PRODUCER

If the United States govern.
ment desires to insure a fair
price for this years cotton crop
it can easily do so, but the Unit
ed States government is not at
all likely to have such a desire,
and unless the cotton producer
uses such means as he may have
at hand to help himself, he is
not likely to be helped very
much.
It will be remembered that
last year there was strenuous
effort to persuade congress to
valorize cotton at IL cents a
pound, and that it would do moth
ing of the kind. The events OF
the year have proved beyond
doubt that if congress had at
tempted such valorization as was
desired, it would have put mil
lions of dollars into the pockets
of the cotton producers of the
south, without one cent of ex-
perse to the government.
AS it was: the only thing
that the government did was to
go into the marine insurance
business for the benefit of the
shippers, thus enabling them to
make millions of dollars out of
cotton that was bought from the
producers at a little more than
half the cost of production.
The farmers of the south we're
told last year that they
were legitimate victims of cir
cumstances that we're beyond
human control. 1t was put up
to them that by reason of the
utter decentralization of the cot
ton manufacturing industry and
commerce, by reason of the Eu-
ropean war. there could be but
small demand for their tremend-
Gus crop OF raw cotton, and it
was simply out of the question
to create an artificial market so
far in advance of real values,
etc.
What we have actually seen is
exactly the opposite of what we
have been told. Instead of there
being a smaller demand for cot
ton. the demand has been larger
than ever. Instead of the cot
ton being manufactured into
goods that would help to reduce
prices on present and future
markets it has been destroyed
annihilated. Instead of a glut
there are prospects of a famine.
And we are confronted by the fact
that whether the war goes on and
continues the demand for pow.
der, or comes to an end and per-
mits a renewal of the demands
of commerce, the supply OF co
