The afternoon of this the second
day following the election of Nov
ember 7th finds the situation tense
and with nothing positive as to the
election Of a national president or a
congressman from the Third District
of Louisiana. The maze of kilograms
sent out by campaign managers in
both national and district elections
convey only the information that one
of the closest elections in the history
Of a state and nation was held on
Tuesday.
The democratic nominee for Con-
gress from this district, Wade 0.
Martin, was in Morgan City last
night enroute to ThibodauX and
while here gave out the statement
that he had undoubtedly defeated his
opponent, Whit P. Martin, the Pro
gressive candidate. Mr. Martin said
he was assured of lead Of at least
100 votes. Telegraphic advices today,
however, still leave the choice Of a
congressman undecided and only the
fact remains that the winner and
loser will be separated by very
scant vote.

Weekly Letter from John H. Page


 Little Rock, Ark, Nov 20, 1916.
 Farmer friends, listen-Right now IS the most serious point ir your farm life for many years Take heed and gov ern yourself accordly and you will come out in good shape and ahead of the game. Otherwise you will loose, and at time when you may never recover. Corn is now above dollar bushel by the car load; Oats about 75c; Hay $2O ton: Cotton Seed Meal $40.00 ton; Hulls $15. %, and other feed according ly. Flour is $10. % barrel; Meal $5 %; Meat 20 cents pound; Sugar cents; Coffee 20 to 25 cents; Butter 40 cents and Eggs 30 to 40 cents dozen. Every other food product is high accordingly. The prices of shoes, clothing, hardware, blow tools and farm implements have advanced too. In fact there is an ad- vance in the prices of practically every thing but postage stamps, chewing gum, doctors bills and undertaker's charges How is the poor farmer go- ing to live? How is any farmer going to live under such conditions? Many will say, "Why look at the price of Cotton that will take care of us. All right. let's look. The price of Cotton today is 20 cents and of seed $57. % to $60. CO., Pretty good-but that is for the 1916 crop. How about the prices for 1917? Who will fix the prices for 1917? Will the farmer? No. Then how can he depend upon the 1917 prices for his Cotton to pay for his living at the prevailing prices of feed, food and clothing? He can't, unless he takes chances. To take chances is to specu- late, to gamble. The farmer can't af ford that He can't afford to lose. There is only one sensible business-like course for the farmer to take to save himself. That is to raise his feed and food at home next year. Play safe. The farmers have an absolute certainty of prosperity if they will do this. Keep cows enough to have fresh milk and butter all the time; put in time enough this winter to fix up a good chicken house and get enough poultry wire to fence the chickens off the crop in the spring. Put in a good garden and help your wife work it. Buy 5000 can- ming outfit and have your girls join the canning club. They will can enough stuff to feed the family all next year. Plant potatoes, sweet potatoes, a few rows of canteloupes, some peanuts, watermelons and popcorn. Set out some asparagus and rhubarb or pie plant and few rows of strawberries next to the garden and get few hives of bees. Breed your sows so they will bring pigs early and make your meat next winter. Half dozen early spring pigs ifyfoperly cared for will make enough meat for the family the following year. Sow an acre of rape for them to pasture on in the ear ly spring. After these things plant corn and hay drops for your live stock and then put in all the cotton you can work If you follow this course you will be able to borrow money to hire ] ' 'A7'- q make make cotton, and the bankers . .erchants will all rise up in the iflalI and call you blessed.

"The Trappers Catch Brought the First
 Foreign Wealth to the United States"

IoNCASh w Cdikh to ehC ShhhS0 oesNsSS
 Millions of dollars will change hands between trappers and dealers for American raw furs this season. It is, indeed, wonderful to contemplate when one thinks of the thousands upon thou sands of fur-bearing animals killed every year throughout the United States, and still the supply does not seem to be whitening, says A. B. Shu- bert, president of A. B. Shubert, Inc, Chicago, the largest house in the world dealing exclusively in American raw furs.
 Many people are of the opinion that the fur industry is becoming extinct, due to the fact that the animals are being killed off in many parts of the country. This is not the case; in fact, it is just the opposite of conditions as they exist. The demand of fashion and competition of the large circular houses have sent the price of furs up to such enormous height that clever trapper can make small fortune, if he handles his catch properly.
 The fur trade has rightly been called the greatest of our natural resources. No industry. agricultural, mineral or otherwise has been the origin of as much wealth to this country as the fur industry. Before single field was cultivated, a single mine was opened or a single railroad constructed fur bear ing animals of this country were the only source of revenue. This was one of the main reasons for the rapid col onization of our country, especially of the West, and Alaska. 1t was the trappers' trail that formed the path of the first highway, and the trappers' for catch formed the first cargo that was ever freighted on any of the in land waters of this country. It was also the trappers catch that brought the first foreign wealth to this country, and ever since we have been practically supplying the world with furs. No other of our natural resources has been productive for so long time or has yielded such an aggregate wealth as the fur-bearing animals, so after all, the fur industry is not dying out. The fight is getting keener and this promi- ses to be the banner year for the trap per and fur shipper.

Educational Notes.

The friends of education are rejoicing over the passing of Amendment No. 12 which will make it possible for Ar kansas to give better support to her schools. The enlarged prospect is cer- tanly cheering, but there are many other ways by which school patrons may improve and build up their schools. take it that good school is one in which every pupil has an opportunity to do good work in every subject which he carries.
 To insure this there are other things necessary beside expensive equipment and hgh-priced teachers and 1t is in the power of the patrons to secure these things for their schools regard less of financial conditions.
 The first condition is, regularity and punctual attendance.
 The school whose members are all on hand every day and all day is bound to do more and better work. Individuals keep their interest, classes progress more rapidly, and the per cent of fail ures, invariably falls.
 Parents should look on the child s school work as they do on any business relation and should see that he regards t in the sam way
 This is a thing which patrons can do for the school which means more to it's success than the voting of money. An other thing which should be we'll looked to is the interference of influences outside the school with the work of the school.
 Pupils cannot if they will and usually do not will to do good work if their leisure is taken up and their minds filled with too much extraneous matter.
 Social functions, picture shows, novel reading, checkers, chess, cards, no matter what kind, dancing, and such like diversions when permitted to be unrestrictedly indulged in, inevitably breaks down or flinders school progress.
 If patrons wish to assist the schools and to secure the best results for their children they can do so by wisely but firmly regulating and restricting these outside interferences with vigorous school work. Don't allow the pupil tc spend his leisure time in the streets, his evenings at parties, picture shows or dances and then whine if he fails tt pass. You would have poor school indeed, if he didn't.
 Lastly, advise freely and kindly witt your teachers. Give them the benefi of your knowledge. Believe in then and back them and you will have ; more successful school than millions ot mere money could buy.
 Sincerely,
 J. P. Perrill.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There Is only one way to cure catarrhal deafness, and that Is by a constitutional remedy. Catarrhal Deafness Is caused by in famed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube Is unframed you have rumbling sound or im- perfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed. Deafness Is the result Unless the inflammation can be reduced and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever. Many cases of deafness are caused by catarrh. which is an unframed condition of the mucous sur faces. Halls Catarrh Medicine acts thru the blood on the mucous surfaces of the system
