THOSE WHO DOUBT.

There is hope for any man that
doubts; there is no hope for the
fellow who is absolutely certain
he is right; These 'positiye'
people-therc is no hope for
them; they are too sure. No man
should be absolutely certain of
anything but his wife and his re-
Hgion. And even as to his relig-
ion he ought to be willing to
grant that the other fellows re-
hgion may land him close up to
the throne if he lives up to it.
The old fellow who first discov-
cred that the earth was round had
a hard time of it. The other fell
lows were absolutely certain it
couldn't be round, or people
would fall off it. SO they got
after the man who doubted that
the earth was flat, and made it
uncomfortable for him in this
world and tried to fix it so he
wouldn't have a chance in the
next world, by communicating
him.-Baton Rouge State-Times.

TRADE HIS HOME FOR A JOY

An exchange tells Of the intcrp
rotation on a tablet four Thousand
years old, the Interpretation say
ing that a man had just traded Z
couple of slaves for chariot
"That this is another proof that
human nature has not changed
much since early days. Instead
of a slow chariot, man now wants
a swift car. and he I'll trade his
home for a JOY ride. -
The versatile writer Of the
Estate Press in Galveston News
comments on the above state
ment in the following humorous
vein:
Human nature in ancient
Babylon was identical with hui
man nature in modern Texas.
Human nature is like time in that
it is the same yesterday and to-
day, and will not be changed to-
morrow. Of course, the human
animal changes to some extent.

when he used f. stand on -

the bush for berries. and his toes
are less adhesive than when he

The question that uggeSts ii
self is, why should we spend so
much money fighting our friend,

sign Up "a treaty Of peace with II
and let it make us rich?
Quite naturally this suggests
IIv" stock, dairics, creamcrlcS,

to us infinitely more money when
We convert it into milk, cream,
butter, cheese, porterhouse steaks,

sell it to the other fellow to be

LUKE M'LUKE SAYS.

! The old fashioned woman who
used to bake her own bread and
biscuits now has married daugh-
ter who thinks that dough is what
her husband earns and she spends.
A man will tip the same waiter
quarter every day in the week
and think nothing Of it. But il
he gives his wife a quarter on
Monday and she asks for another
quarter on Friday, he wants to
know what she did with the
quarter he gave her last Monday.
A fly has some human traits.
He isn't satisfied to mind his own
business and keep out of trouble.
He insists on buzzing around your
face and annoying you until you
swat him.
A man seldom thinks seriously
about marriage until after he is
married and is compelled to.
You will often discover that
your distant relatives are too
close.
A woman always feels sorry
for her husband when she realizes
how miserable he would he II
had married some other woman.
During the first three weeks of
married life a man tells his wife
everything he knows. But it is
different later on.

SOUTHWESTERN REFLEC-
TIONS.

! With the advent OF the grow
ing season reinforced by aDun
dant rains, the farmer s dee
ton of war against the all per.
vaslve grass must be backed IN
by energetic and unceasing work
Along with everything else, good
and bad, in Southwest Louisiana
grass grows with exceeding ra-
pidity, and the luckless farmer
who once permits it to get the
start Of him is in bad way.
! And yet, if we but realized it
fully, one Of our most prolific
sources Of natural wealth lies in
these very grasses which we
farmers spend so much time and
money in the effort to subdue.
When the late Father" Cary,
who did so much to develop Lou
isiana, lit from the train on the
vast bald prairie where the city
of Jennings now stands and
looked around him at the ex-
uberant grasses with which the
land was covered, he exclaimed:
When | look at the luxuriant
growth on these prairies | no
longer wonder why Nebuchannez-
Ear designed the power and splrn
dor Of the Babylonian throne and
went out to eat grass"
And so, after all, the question
will obtrude itself in these days
OF war and grass, whether it were
not better for us as farmers to be-
come rich growing glass than to
impoverish ourselves in the vain
fight to destroy it.
A few years ago Bill Polk in
troduced a bill in the Louisiana
making it a penal
offense for railroads and others to
permit johnson Grass to grow on
their properties.
A month ago DR.. S. M. Lyons,
Of Sulphur, pointed out to the
Prosperity Campaigners' for
ty-acre plot Of ground planted to
Johnson Grass, as a commercial
proposition. In response to an
of surprise the Doctor
replied: "Why not9 That far

PRESIDENT WILL CALL
GERMANY'S HAND.

Washington, May u1.-Presi-
dent Wilson had practically de
cided tonight on the first step in
the policy which the unlteu
States government will pursue as
q result Of the sinking Of the
British liner Llstania with the
loss Of more than d hundred
lives.
The president will act prompt
1y-within another day or two.
A draft Of a communication TO be
sent to Germany was submitted
to the cabinet today and approved
unanimously. While no official
announcement was made it was
learned that the United States
would present and insist upon an
explanation Of the series of Incl
dents which have occurred since
the proclamation of a war one
around the British Isles; the sink
ing Of the Falaba, causing the
death of Leon G. Thresber, an
'"rrican citizen; the attack by
German airmen on the American
steamer Cushing, the torpcdoing
of the steamer Gulflight and final
]y the destruction without warn
ing Of the Lusitania with toll
of more than hundred American
lives.

of more than a hundred American

President Voices
Intense Feeling.
In what are described by those
familiar with the document as
firm and unmistakable terms, the
president voiced the intense feel
mo of the nitod Stntes over thn&o
happenings and in the name Of in
ternational law, demands an add
herence by Germany to the es-
tablished rules Of maritime war
fare. The note asks that some as
snrance or guarantee be given
hereafter that unarmed merchant
vessels carrying non combatants
be visited and searched when en-
countered on the high seas by the
German navy and passengers and
crew transferred to a place of
safety before any prize is des-
trOyed.
The president points out. it is
understood, that the United
States in its note, which said
Germany would be held to "strict
accountability" for any attacks
on American vessels or lives had
not admitted any right on the
part of Germany to carry on such
methods Of warfare and declares.
moreover, that the giving of off
cial notice Of an intention TO com
nit an unjustifiable act did not
justify the act or make It lawful.
Determined to Act Firmly.
What will follow in event of
refusal by Germany to comply
with the wishes Of the note about
to be sent, none Of the presidents
official family would predict. :
They said the president was de-
termined to act firmly and deal
with each situation as it arose. 1t
was pointed out too. that in his
speech in Philadelphia in refer
ence to peace. Mr.. Wilson was ex-
pressing merely an ideal that he
wished America could and would
follow.
ms familiar with the pres
ident's point of view indicated,
however, that he was by no means
unprepared for or unaware of the
possible eventualties of the pres
ent crisis and knew that circrm-
stances and events over which
the United States might have no ,
control might make vigorous ac-
lion necessary.
The circular from the German
government to neutral countries,
assuming responsibility and prom
Ising reparation for any damage
in the war zone to neutral vessels
will not affect the determined :
course of the president. 1t was
considered by the cabinet today. q

The fund has promoted rural and
Urban settlements, has acquired large

to establish COLONIES throughout Pales-
tine. 1t has aided the upbuilding OF
schools In Jaffa and Jerusalem: has
provided two well-situated houses fol-
