HEALEY TEACHER IN
LOYOLA UNIVERSITY
Local Boy Is Professor i
South's Foremost
Dental University

DR.. w. j. Healey, son of our
efficient clerk of the police
jury, recently graduated in
dentistry at Loyola University,
and before the ink was dry on
his diploma, accepted the re-
sponsible position of clinical
instructor at his Alma Mater,
the position formerly filled by
DR.. Burroughs, of California.
This position occupies his
evening hours and does not in
|terfere with general practice.
DR.. Healey on October 1st,
will be connected with and
have his office with DR.. Tuller,
one of the leading dental prac-
titioners of the South; they
will have their suite of office
in the Maison Blanche build
ing.
DR.. Healey is now filling the
office of one of the professors
Of Loyola, who is off on a visit
to California, for whom he
made drawings of special IN
struments and their positions
in their treatmen of Riggs dis
ease, which the said specialist
will use in Illustrating his pa
per on that subject in Cali
fornia and which will after
wards be used by him and by
instructor Healey in their elm
zeal teaching in Loyola. The
dental department of this
great University has doomed
up as the greatest dental
scool in the South, and it is a
source Of great satisfaction to
know that one Of our home
boys has been found worthy to
be selected as a professor, SO
early in his professional ca
reer.

HELPING BUILD A GOOD


In our morning daily we
find this item about a Nh. J.
w. Penny, not far from our Of
flee, who is taking the surest
step to build up his neighbor-
hood. Said Mr.. Penny to the
newspaper:
IT have had a tract of land
divided up last week to sell on
easy terms; the whole plot
contained some 400 acres, and
I had it split up into farms that
averaged about SO acres each.
The coming of six or seven
new families to that neighbor-
hood will do as much as any
thing you can put on the land
toward building it up-pro-
vided they are the right sort
of people, and that is the only
kind that I want to settle down
anyway"
It's a pity that more farmers
who have more land than they
need to cultivate do not sell
off ffty-acre tracts to good
peop1ewho will help build up
the neighborhood. Frequent
ly a farmer holds on to three
or four times as much land as
he needs. saying that he wants
it for division among his CHI
dren only to find in his old age
that all his children have left
because of the absence Of q
good neighborhood and social
life. We heard of a case re-
Gently where a farmer who
owned more than 500 acres
and was cultivating only "a
fraction OF it, would not sell
small farms off it even to his
children and grand children.
The result was that they have
been forced to leave, leaving
him in pitiful loneliness when
he might have been in the CEN
ter of a happy colony of his
offspring.
Many a farmer would great
" increase his own happiness
and that of his family by SELL
ing fifty acres to some good
white neighbor.-The Progress
sive Farmer.

WE NEED PROSPERITY

We are not those who draw
sharp lines between the INA
terial and the things of life
and death. We want our full
Southern trade. We want cot
ton to sell at 20 cents a pound
If possible. We know that
prosperity touches close to the
higher things of life, and to
life itself. We know that
hard times" brings in its wake
suffering and disease and
death. And the business well
fare of those responsible for
these utterances here is wrap
ped up with the welfare of a
cotton producing region.
But the danger we run from
restricted shipments of cotton
to Germany and Austria is as
nothing to the danger we run
if the impulse and purposes
responsible for this world-waf
and the horrors which accom-
pany it are permitted to be VIC
torious over the embattled ma
tions enlisted under the allied
fiags.-Baton Rouge State

THOMAS, THE O
DOUBTER

st. Fr~ancisville True Demo-
crat: L. E. Thomas, of that
Pleasant Shreveport faction is
out in a pamphlet against the
holding of a constitutional
convention, and is asking that
the press publish it for him
free of charge. Mr.. Thomas
is fast becoming a chronic
kicker. While his contentious
usually have the appearance
of being we'll founded and are
supported by a neat array of
plausible arguments, the his
tory OF his several po-
litical affiliations will cause a
reasonable doubt as to the sim
cerity of his motive, which is
fatal to any serious reliance
upon the result Of his investi-
cations. Time was when his
prestige as a former bank ex-
aminer and consequent knoWl-
edge of financial matters at
first hand, what he said was
received with perfect cred
ence and entire respect. But
he has since shown that he can
be
ing-and his awful discover
les are now greeted with "a

WHERE BRAIN WORK Be
GINS THERE PROFIT
BEGINS

The world pays for muscu-
lar labor never more than
enough to supply the physical
necessities Of life. This IS TX
ed by the great law OF supply
and demand. Bring the prod
net of your muscle only, and
the world pays you only
enough to support that muscle,
a bare living. Bring the prod
ucts of your muscular labor
plus skill and intelligence, and
the world pays you not only q
living but some of the COM
forts and conveniences that IN
telligence demands profit.
This is a principal of polItl-
cal economy as unalterable as
were the laws of the Modes
and Persians. Let us put It
in this form:
Muscular labor means a llv-
ing; muscular plus mental la
Dor means a living plus a prof.
it.
That is the law, and this IS
the problem: To get the far
mer to use his brains as indus
triously as he uses his muscles.
Let us see how this works
in the South. Here about halt
the people who work on our
farms are negroes, ignorant
and illiterate, little more than
q generation removed from
slavery, and with ten times as
much confidence in the change
of the moon as in experiment
stations, and a hundred times
as much faith in Old Masters
way of farming as in the views
OF professors of agriculture.
But they have and use ply
sicial strength and muscle; and
every farmer who only uses
muscular labor comes into
competition with them, and
must get down to their scale Of
living in order to compete sue
cessfully. In other words. OF
two men trying to make a liv-
ing by physical labor, the man
who can live happily on corn
bread and fat meat has an inn
mense advantage over the man
whose scale of living is high
enough to include chicken-pie.
This is a homely illustration of
the truth that where competi-
ton with muscular labor must
be faced, there is no profit.
Grant, then, that there is
such an economic law as that
of which we have been speak
ing, and what is the logical IN
ference? It is that the intel
ligent farmers Of the South

CONVENTION NEEDED

A good constitution, con-
structed in the interest Of the
people, is a necessity, but one
built in the interest of any fac
ton or section would be a sad
calamity. So far as we can
see the great majority of the
candidates are Of high charac-

them, and hence we believe
our people should vote for the
convention. Don't neglect this

will and then kick if the result

An appeal from Justice Pages de-
