The Editors Thanksgiving.

What's that? You bet I'm thankful;
don't you see this two-bit smile?
Why, things for me look brighter than
they have for quite while.
Of course, it peeved me when my print
got stewed and broke the press
And pied the forms. but / can get things
Strengthened up, guess.
That libel suit nigh got my goat; but
why should l repine?
I haven't got a cent, and so they cant
collect the fine;
And then my wife a-leaving me-that
gave quite jar,
But I'm glad that things amt any worse
than what-they are.
My mortgage will fall due next month,
but don't grieve nor fret;
They say they will sell me out, but
then they haven't done it vet.
These ginks who always kick and squeal
they ought to have a nurse,
I've hit some rocky roads myself. but
then they could We been worse;
And so l still retain my poise, and wear
my two-bit smile,
And things to me look brighter than
they have for quite while.

Five More States Go Dry.

In the late national election
five more states were added to
the prohibition column, making
"a, exactly one-half of the 4S
states of the union, embracing
fully $3.50 of the population, and
nearly $50 of the territory of
the nation. All of the States
added to the dr. column were
carried by good big majorities:
Michigan, $4,000; Nebraska, 35, :
600; Montana. 10000; South Da-
kota, $4,000, and Idaho by the
magnificent vote of 3 to l. 1t is
only a question of three or four
years at most when national pro-
hibition will be enforced, and it
will certainly be in force in Lou
isiana by that time as a state
wide proposition.

age thirty-two years, occurred at her
home near Dry Prong, La, on Novem-
Der z, 1916. She was the wife of Will
bur Martin. She passed away surround
ed by her loved ones and friends, after
an illness of about four months, during
which all that can be done by loving
hands, kind neighbors and medical aid,
was unavailing. She bore her suffer
ing with patience.
She leaves to mourn her departure a
loving husband, four small children,
her father, Mr.. C. C. Richards of Dry
Prong, three sisters. four brothers and
a host of other relatives. Her remains
were laid to rest in the Oak Grove GEM

Mrs. Martin was a true Christian,

knew her loved her, for she was always
ready to lend helping hand to any
who needed help.
We all loved dear Matte, but God
loved her best, so He called her home.
May He comfort her dear husband and
little children and loved ones. Let US
submit to the will of God, for he does
all things well.

SIG, $50 from ESQ Acres.

cord has been kept of receipts
and expenditures on $50 acres
planted to cotton in Calcasieu
parish this year. The land pro-
duced cotton which sold for $16,-
$50, while the cost of producing
the crop was S5,775 This gave
to the growers a net return of
$43.5O per acre. Only about $50
acres were planted this year, but
indications are that next year
the acreage will be close to 5000
and may run as high as 5000

"Snubbing,"

We do not know so much in
this country about "snubbing"
as they do in Europe, for the
reason that we do not pay so
much attention to caste. We
have with US always a few de-
luded individuals W no believe
that they can maintain a certain
social position to Others, but
such people are limited in num-
bers. Few indeed among us re-
sort to "snubbing" as a means
of self-revenge or self-protec-
ton.
But "snubbing" seems to be
a common vice abroad, especially
in England. For we find preach
ers preaching against it and ed
itors condemning it. as witness
this classic from a British pub
lication:
Snub not. If you wish to be
thoroughly hated. if you wish to
be remembered for evil, if you
wish to be a social blight, if you
wish tn drive from Won all con-
fidence, all affection, all sympa-
thy. if you wish to lose the
key to the hearts of other, then
cultivate the art of snubbing."
If you wish to gain confidence
and to give confidence, if you de-
sire that some Nv should affec-
tionately remember you when
you are gone, if you wish to be
delivered from the curse of a
solitary existence snub not.
