JOHN MI. PARKER

One Of the states most distin-
guished citizens has doomed up as
a national figure since the recent
presidential election and is even
being spoken as a probable member
Of the next cabinet of President
Wilson.
Mr.. Parker is not a democrat,
nor does he profess to be one, and
in the last election was the nominee
of the p~rogressives for vice presi-
dent. Deserted by his former
friends Roosevelt, he made a
valiant fight for his party's prin-
ciples and being alone on his
party's ticket cast his fortunes
with those of President Wilson. In
the east and central west he
campaigned for the democratic
nominee and it is fully recognized
that his influence, coupled with his
earnestness and his sincere and
ringing speeches, had much to do
with the democratic victory.
Louisiana feels proud of John
M. Parker, man and citizen. Though
this newspaper fought him in the
last campaign, when he was d
candidate for governor against the
democratic nominee, yet we
acknowledge with gratitude the
telling work which he did for the
democracy in the national election
and while the talk of his appoint
ment to the cabinet are but rumors
we would hail with delight such
appointment being rendered him by
the nations chief executive.
In connection with these rumors
it is stated that he will possibly
be offered the position of secretary
OF agriculture, No filter man
could be chosen for the place. Mr..
Parker. besides being a business
mar in the accepted sense of the
term, is thoroughly acquainted
with agriculture from a local,
state and national viewpoint and
we predict that he would fill the
position with ability and be a
credit to his city and his state and
70 the nation at large. No matter
how hidebound a democrat may
he must acknowledge Mr..
recent service to the
democratic party, and if he has the
democraey's interest at heart he
VIII hail with loud acclaim Mr..
parker's appointment at the hands
OF the democratic leader of the
nation.

THE SHARK rs ABROAD I'M THE
LAND!

This has been one of the mcst
prosperous years, so far as the
farmers is concerned, that this
section has ever experienced.
More than seventeen thousand
bales of cotton has been produced
in st. Landry and sold at a large
price. Every other product of the
soil has correspondigly advanced
in value, and as the farmer has
been living at home his cash income
has been almost all clear profit.
He doesn't have to meet any store
debts" and his surplus cash, well
known to all the world, has served
as a lure for every kind of human
shark and CRATER of the %get-rich-
quick kind.
Many kinds of schemes are
being worked on the unsuspecting
~ farmer in order to separate
him from his cash and if he falls
iOl Llt lulto VI Tic SiICh-tOH5uU
artists he will quickly find him
self without cash--a wiser but
sadder man.
We would advise our farmer
friends to keep their eyes on the
smooth stranger who has some
wonderful article to sell at a small
%price--an article guaranteed to
make the p~ossessor immeasurably
rich in an Incredibly short time.
The lure of sudden wealth is often
attractive, so attractive, in fact,
as to make any wise man forget
his better judgement. He falls to
the scheme and is defrauded of
his dollars. The realization of his
loss is a rude one and a sudden
jolt. Perhaps the experience is
worth the price but the knowledge
does not return to its rishtfnl
owner the dollars out Of which he
has been skinned.
Caution on the part Of the farmer
is a good watchword when the
visiting salesman comes around
with new-fangled contrivances,
corporation stock and other things
to sell. This class earns its wealth
through the unsuspecting and un-
Il
the fat of the land, sports fine
clothes and tolls not. If he bunkoes
the farmer he but adds to his
wealth and leaves the latter poorer
though wiser. Theman who follows
pillow has an u~nquestioned
right to his own money and it is
an unfortunate occurrence when
ne is the victim of the shark.

RELIEVE HEADACHES
WITHOUT DOSING
By Applying sloan's Liniment to
Forehead You Can Stop
the Severe Pains

t4KC SCVCEG Z niALS
Many headaches are of a neuralgia
origin. The symptoms of such
headaches are intense and linger-
ing pains in the brow, temples or
back Of the head.
There is one certain relief that
has been known and recommended
for years back, Sloan's Liniment.
One application and the dull pain
is practically gone. It is easily
applied without rubbing. Rubbing
is unnecessary, as Sloan's Liniment
quickly penetrates to the seat of
trouble.
Aching muscles. rheumatism,
bruises, lumbago, ehilblains, sprains
and stiff neck can also be most
effectively treated with Sloan's
Liniment. Cleaner than mussy
plasters or ointments; it does not
stain the skin or clog the pores.

That was the last heard OF the

Members of the school board of
