ness in every line is certain to re-
vive and the man out of employ
ment will again find something
to do.
Louisiana gains more from it's
farms than it does from it's poll
ties. The state depends more or
less on the crops of cotton, corn,
sugar, rice, etc, than it does on
the salaries it's numerous officials
receive and spend, for those sal
aries come from the taxes paid by
the farmer and are, naturally,
a drain on his resources. Politics
and politicians are tax-eater, and
not wealth producers. They may
be necessary evils but the evil can
be ameliorated.
The fight has been made and
the issue settled and now let us
turn to matters more to the ma
terial welfare of LOuisiana.-Ope-

THE ROOT OF THE TROUBLE

The address of former State
Senator D. F. Goss before the
Lawyers club of Dallas consti-
tutes cumulative evidence of the
need oflegislative and judicial re-
form in Texas. No student of the
subject can dissent from Mr..
Goss' proposition that the de-
fects in legislation in this state
result chiefly from the fact that
sessions are short and work is
rushed and that a majority of the
members of the legislature are in
experienced, nor from the propo-
sition that the cause of these
symptoms is that the compensa-

LET US TURN TO SOMETHING
ELSE.

The state has been surfeiteC
with politics for months. I'm
fortunately it is a year of cleo
tions and there was no lodging
the issues and the pleas OF the
numerous candidates for office.
For months we have heard moth
ing but politics in every parish,
city, town, village and rural com
munity. For a time however.
the matter has been settled and
the people will have a breathing
spell before the campaign for con
gressmen and judicial officials be-
gins in earnest. For this breath
ing spell We are all thankful.
There are other and just as i'm
portant affairs to be looked after.
During the campaign just closed
every thing else has seemingly
been forgotten or neglected. 1t
is now time to catch up the loose
ends and begin to whip things
into shape once more. Louisiana
farmers are just beginning a new
crop. On that crop the states
prosperity rests. So far nature
has smiled on this state and it's
farmers and a bumper yield is al
most assured. With a full crop

IN THE SOUTHERN COUN-
TRIES.

Throughout Cuba and Central
America, the presence Of soldiers
1ignifies the clumsy quaintness Of
the Easter celebrations. Crowds
gather early in the plaza to watch
the life-sized waxen image of
Jesus borne out of the cathedral
ON high-draped platform.
Acolytes, bearing censerb, pre-
cede it, and behind it trail clouds
of priests, bands, and flags. The
procession moves slowly through
a main thoroughfare until it
meets second figure, respondent
in blue paint, curls and finery.
There is pause as the two figures
confront each other Then the
second-Mary Magdalene = is
turned laboriously about and gal
lops away with its joyful news.
1t encounters third figure,
painted yellow and decked with
gold, as BELTS the Latin-Ameri-
can conception of the Virgin
Mary. With the gilded figure
leading, the two Marys trot back
through the crowded streets to
he first image. As the three
meet, their draped platforms tip II
Onward in solemn, silent bows,
while thousands of awed believ-
RS watch in silence. Forming
nto line, the three images are
'orDe back tc the cathedral, the
roops fire a salvo, and the Easter
ervices beein.-Selecssd.

1t is a beautiful theory that
men ought to be willing to serve
the state at 81 day; to remain
on the job indefinitely at this
price and to remain in office I'M
til excused by their constituents.
But it is useless to argue whether
or not this ought to be so. The
complete answer is that men
won t stay on the job at the price.
There is a phase Of the subject,
too, that Mr.. Goss did not men
ton, but which ought not to be
overlooked. Our people are So
licitous that their lawmakers
should remain honest. This So
hcitude ought to lead to the pro-
vision Of living, of adequate
wages, for the underway of any
servant, either public or private,

ICE TEA BAD FOR KIDNEYS.

Many authorities agree that tea
is bad for the kidneys, but it is
a recognized fact that the Indians
brewed teas from roots and herbs,
which when drunk hot were very
beneficial. A tea of this kind
which is wonderful medicine is
Ge-Rar-Dy Tea, which eliminates
the poisons from the blood, liver
and kidneys. 1t is so inexpensive

LIVE STOCK ADVANCEMENT.
- - 11Sr Z
~N~A~

Nothing more clearly shows the
trend Of the South S recognition
of the advantages of live stock on
the farm than the success that is
meeting public sales Of beef cat
tie. no matter in what State they
be held. Within the past few
weeks numbers Of auction sales
of beef-breeding stock were con-
Quoted in the Gulf Coast and
other Southern States and the de-
mand has proven fully equal to
expectation OH each occasion. This
is taken as encouraging evidence
of the cotton farmers being de-
termined to push further with
their live stock development pro-
gram, even though their staple
crop has come around to former
position of ascendency.
The Davis sale of Herefords,
: held in Mississippi the other day,
marks the advance that has been
made in the Southland in the way
of beef cattle achievement. Ever
since the famed Point Comfort
18th won the laurels at the Inter-
national for premiership over all
Herefords in the nation, the an
nual Davis sale in the Magnolia !
State has been the event of the .
year in Southern live stock breed
ing circles. Each succeeding sea-
son, as more and more of the
South's leading farmers and
stock raisers come to proper ap-
probation of the best in beef
breeding lines, have we seen the
average selling price advance
over the preceding sale. The
1916 Davis sale, therefore, was
expected to surpass that of 1915,
but it was not thought it would
be by such big margin. For the !;
forty-five head, the selling price :
averaged $511 per head, against =,
1921 averaged in 1915 on an equal i,
number Of La Vernet Stock Farm !
breeding. 8
Mississippians saw to it that the y
greater portion of the sale offer .
1ngs stayed in their State of ma
tivity, but they had to share them
with bidders from Louisiana,
Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee.
Noted breeders from the North
and West came in for a share of
the stock; and that Southern bids
topped theirs in the majority of
cases Notwithstanding the high
figures bid, is a healthy indication
Of the esteem our farmers of the
south now have for superior|
breeding stock to work for the up
building of the long-neglected
,eef industry.
The Davis sale is more than
triumph for the South s foremost
'reeder. Its a successful outcome.
IS well as those of other 1916
ales of lesser Importance, means
hat the Southern farmer S awak-
ming is being brought about by
uccess attending the efforts of
all, no matter in what
tate of Dixieland located, who
ave started into beef cattle in an
Intelligent manner. The live

ion, promises to be exceptional.

Suppose the bosses would have to
