1t is the gradual breaking away
from the one crop idea that will count
for the permanent building up OF the
country and not the sudden turning Of
otherEcrops. For example there are no
farmers IN this parish we venture to
say but who can include the following
in his list of products during this year
without any material Injury to his rice
crop: One or two good milk cows to
furnish milk and butter for the family;
A garden that will provide vegetables
for family use almost every month Ill
the year; A sufficient acreage OF corn
to supply the fdrm;a good poultry yard
from which can be drawn eggs and
chickens to augment the family income
a good acreage OF peas, beans and
lespedeza, not only for hay but for soil
improvement. These items can be
added to farm life by almost every
farmer and is starting On the road TO
Investigation in a safe and intelligent
manner, and is schedule which if in
diligently followed will mean Surer
independence for the farmer.

We Should Smile.

The thing that goes the fartheSt to.
ward making life worth while
That cost the least and does the
most. is Just a pleasant smile
The smile that bubbles from the heart
that loves its fellow men
Will drive away the cloud of gloom
and coax the sun again.
It's full Of worth and goodness, too,
with manly kindness blent;
It's worth a million dollars and it
doesn't cost cent.
There is no room for sadness when
we see a CHEEKY smile.
1t railways has the same good look
it's never out of style;
1t nerves us on to try again when
failure makes blue
Such dimpleS of encouragement are
good for me and you.
So smile away; folks understand what
by a fmile is meant
It's worth a million dollars and it
doesn't cost a cent.

EASY DIvERSIFICATION

The primary business of the farmer
is to feed his family and build up his
soil fertility il he would succeed in his
business, and the farmer who looks
first to this problem and sets himself to
it with good judgment attain VIII
substantial independence.
But on the other hand it is possible
to 90 toan extreme under certain condi
tons in this direction. The farmer
with limited capital and little exper.
fence who sets out to convert in one
year worn out rice farm into
model farm of diversified crops will
likely meet with disastrous failure.
The transition can not take place sud.
denly, but must be worked out along
lines of good sound judgement and
common sense.
The Journal believes very firmly in
an ample and diversified agriculture
as opposed to any one crop system.
At the same time we would not attack
the Importance of the rice crop TO this
section, Asa matter of fact our soil,
topography and climate all are very
admirably adapted to the cultivation of
rice and as a money crop possibly there
is no crop that can be grown more sue.
cessfuily in this section. While this is
true and while rice should continue to
hold an important place in our
schedule OF agricultural products, yet
we do believe that when this crop is
grown from year to year exclusively
TO buy feed for the stock, to buy food
and clothing for the family all at heavy
expense to the fertility and life of the
soil it will impoverish the man who
follows it. It's therefore the abuse OF
this one crop rather than the rightful
use of it that we mention.

THE BOND ELECTION FOR GOOD
ROADS.

The question Of voting 100000 bond
issue for gravel roads is beginning to
be discussed throughout the parish.
1t is estimated that from 100 to 1851
miles of gravelleI roads properly lald
out will accommodate practically every
community in the parish. 1t is est.
mated that all adequate highway III
this parish can be constructed at an
average cost OF $4,000 per mile. The
proposed bond issue therefore aggre'
gates 100000 and is to run thirty.One
years and bear five per cent interest.
This, therefore, is the proposition to be
decided by the people of the parish.
Shall we adopt the plan for good SyS'
tenn of roads or shall we reject it?
The editor OF this paper is perfectly
frank to admit an open discussion in
this very vital matter. We have never
felt that we had the only way of think.
ing upon a public question, and
have never felt like taking an extreme
position upon any question of public
policy.
We believe, however, in connection
with this proposition for good roads
that it is one that the people Of the
parish cannot afford to reject. OF
course one hundred miles of public road
will not afford public road in front Of
every mans home, but we could hardly
expect just now that such a system
should be provided. We believe those
who will have the matter in charge will
exercise the very best judgement in
laying out this one hundred miles in
such lines as will accommodate the larg.
est number OF people in every section
of the parish. We think everybody
ought to appreciate this situation to
begin with. The idea will doubtless
be to lay out trunk lines through the
parish that will be easily accessible for
the use of every citizen in hauling his
crop to market or for other general
transportation purposes, and this idea
ought to be all that any man should
ask.
The question of the additional tax
burden Of course is important. We
think that taxes are sometimes made
too heavy for the people and the very
greatest care should be exercised in
levying taxes. Bat we do not think
that tax for good roads should be met
with this objection. The proposed
issue will Call for a small increase in
the tax rate but in return the farmer
gets a road over which he can haul
OftentimeS three times the load he
formerly hauled. His land increases in
value from $500 to SIS 90 per acre. His
mules last longer and wagons stand up
longer. He enjoys a larger amount of
comfort and ease in going to and from
market. All this will more than com.
pensate for the additional tax rate.
But all these matters will doubtless
claim the thoughtful attention of the
people Of the parish in due time.

LET A CHILD "BE ITSELF"
Parents Should Not by Any Means
Make Everyone Conform to
Same Pattern.

Mothers and fathers must realize
that every human being is a distinct
individual, with his own peculiar gifts,
traits and qualities; with something
distinctly his own which should make
him in some degree different from
everybody else. To great extent the
effect of school and home training has
been to destroy this best essence of
the child; to make children more or
less alike, Miriam Finn Scott writes in
the Delineator. Such a course fails to
make the most of our children; child
SO trained is factory product-one OF
thousands who have been turned out
on standardized pattern. A child
whose personality has been allowed
we'll rounded development is an in
finitely bigger and more useful EN-.
bryonic adult than would the same
child be had he been turned out on
the factory plan. He has something
fresh (perhaps not big) to give to life,
and life has more to give him.
OF course when | speak of your
child's personality l do not refer to
manifestations of character which may
be merely overgrown faults-such as
egotism, smartness or a domineering
spirit We must be careful not to mis-
take overdeveloped faults for the
child's great strengths.

Reading Ones Own Books.

Cultivated men and women have al
ways counted good books among their
most valued possessions, and one can
not believe that this taste can be sac
rificed without definite loss to our
civilization. The spoken word can
never supplant the written word; and
in fact, the present tendency is all to-
ward substituting print for speech.
Nor can reading in public places take
the place of reading ones own books
in the quiet of ones home. Books
that are owned wait patiently ca the
readers leisure; and to have just the
book one wants, when one wants it, is
and must remain one of the supreme
luxuries of a cultivated life.
Books, too, when personally owned,
gather around themselves wealth of
personal associations. The very bind
ing, paper and title-page recall the
conditions under which the book came
into our possession. AS we open its
pages we remember the last time we
read it, the place and circumstances,
and the people with whom we dis
cussed it. Books have personality;
and they must always remain the
warm friends OF their possessors.--

MANS DEBT TO THE BIRDS
Matter That is Worth Great Deal
More Consideration Than II Has
Been Receiving.

Why should birds fear human be.
ing? They have no fear of the horse
or COW. There are birds that even
light on the back of COW and de-
YOUR the flies that are troublesome.
If mankind were kind and thoughtful
of the rights of birds what a pleasure
it might be. Every small boy and girl
should be taught to love all birds and
never to disturb or brighten. Their
companionship and their songs more
than repay the little fruit or grain
that they eat. And we cannot forget
that but for the aid of the birds we
could not have fruit or grain. The
hop aphis,' the North American tells
us, developing 10 generations in a
year, at the end of the twelfth genera

sunk In profundity of space that light

cling at the rate of 1S4,00 miles per
second, would require $500 years to
reach the earth" Think once what

should fail to destroy this one kind

GREATEST OF ICE PALACES
That Constructed by the Czarina Anne
of Russia is Conceded to Have
Eeen the Finest.

Ice for architectural purposes is
used with wonderful results in north
ern countries. Probably the most
remarkable building constructed
wholly of ice was the palace built on
the Neva by the Czarina Anne of Rus
STA. Large blocks of ice were cut
and squared with great care and laid
on one another by skillful masons,
who cemented the joints with water,
which Immediately froze. The build
ing, when completed, was Sc feet long,
17A feet broad and 81 feet high. It
was of but one story. The facade
contained door surmounted by an
ornamental pediment and six win
dows, the frames and panes of which
were all of ice. An elaborate balus-
trade adorned with statues ran along
the top of the facade, and another bal
ustrade surrounded the building at
the level of the ground. The ground
was further adorned with a life-size'
figure of an elephant, with his mahout
on his back A stream of water was
thrown from the elephants trunk by
day and a flame of naphtha by night.
A tent of ice contained hot bath,
in which persons actually bathed.
There were also several cannons and
mortars of ice, which were loaded
with bullets Of ice and iron and dis
charged.
