TAOKIu0Q THE COMMUNITY
SORE SPOT.

Over near Trenton. South Car
DINA, along one of the main mar
ket highways, there used to be q
long stretch of deep sand that was
the terror of travellers. Automo.
bilists went miles out of their way
to avoid it, farmers hauling cot
ton and fertilizers grumbled
nightly at it, and here young
horses took their first lessons in
baking. For years and years
the sand had remained. a COM
munity sore spot. Nobody did
ANYTHING about it; everybody
business is nobody's business, and
il attended to accordingly.
And then a. one the progressive
farmers Of the neiehborhood de-
cided that too long had they been
paying . bad road tax for the
doubtful privilege Of dragging
through that sand bed. It is not
recorded IS to who were the COM
mnnity leaders in the movement,
but the upshot of it all was that
one bright morning men and mules
and wagons were on the scene, and
the job was under way.
Four big mules to a big break
ing blow tore deep down through
the offending sand to the subsoil
beneath. Then from : nearby

BE SURE TO PLANT SOME
GLOVER THIS FALL.

Believing as we do that the win
ter legumes. particularly bur an,
crimson clover and hairy vetch
will, if we use them as we should
work revolution i'm Southern
agriculture. The Proeressiv,
Farmer will during the next three
months persistently hammer the
idea of "a legume crop for ever,
acre every year" In last week.
Clover Vetch Special we showed
how this is possible, while at the
same time we can grow even
larger crops of cotton and corn
than we are now growing; here
we propose to show that not only
dO these great winter crops point
the wOy to rich lands and pros
porous farmers, but that to be
without them can only mean poor
lands and poor farmers. Here
are some Of the reasons Why this
is true:
l. Bare land is wasting land.
The nakedness Of our Southern
fields in winter is shameful. Mile
after mile of cotton fields, barren
and quilted. the best Of their soils
being carried away by every
downpour, are everywhere mute
testimony to our wastefulness.
Already thousands of acres have
been Quilted and ruined; millions
of acres more are doomed to a
similar fate unless we awake to-
their value and save them. Al
carpet Of green-clOvers and
vetch-will do this as nothing else
will, and every farmer, every
should aim to have every
acre covered with a protecting,
soil-enriching mantle.
2. We can't afford to buy
nitrogen. Nitrogen probably is
our most needed fcrtilizinc ele-
ment, but in cottonseed meal and
nitrate Of soda it costs from 20
70 % cents pound, while an
acre of crimson clover costing us
t3 will furnish us $l2 or $15
worth Of nitrogen, or the equiva.
ent of 400 pounds of nitrate of
;oda or 1000 pounds Of cotton
seed meal. Shame, we say, on
he farmer who continues to de-
'end on "store-bought' nitrogen,
When above his farm there are
Millions Of pounds Of it, his mere
Y for the taking.
3. Clover fill the land with
umus, which probably next to
itrogen is the thing most need
d to bring our impoverished,
cad soils to life. Farmers who
ave tried the clovers agree that
hev are wonderful in making
oils loose. deep. mellow and
routh-resistant.
4. We need more winter graz
~ crops. and bur and crimson
over are ideal for this purpose.
lanted in the fall they not only
old our soils and fill them with
umus and nitrogen, but by
ebruary or early March they are
the finest Of grazing

wing hieh-priced feed lon be-
re the regular pastures furnish J
,od grazing.
So, then. the question is not,
in we afford to plant these
ops, but can we afford not to
ant them. With all their ex-
llent qualities. we hold that the
rmer who does without them is
,glecting the surest of all means
: which he can enrich his lands
ID grow better and bigger crops.
Whatever you do, don't fail to

brought dozens of loads of red
sticky clay and dumped it along
the road, where the disk harrows
cut it in and thoroughly mixed il
with the sand. Then the road
was rolled and packed and
smoothed. and. 10, instead of a
stretch Of road that everybody
hated there was as fine bit OF
highway as the county could
boast. And all because a pro-
pressive neighborhood refused to
be satisfied with a road that had
no place in the modern, progress
sive scheme of things.
Reader. do you get the moral
of this little true story1 It is
this:
. Every neiehborhood in the
South has its community sore
spot-something no one in the
community Is proud OF, and that
probably most folks are ashamed
OF. and vet something that no
one as vet has tried to remedy.
1t may be miserable stretch Of

Carolina was before the neigh
borhood got tired Of it and ex-
pressed its disapproval by doing

building, poorly equipped, and

day afternoon and spent the night
at Thibodaux. Or. Thos. II
Stark accompanied him to the
city.
Senator BrOussard declined to
discus the Federal .judgeship, say
ing his physician had advised
him to let it alone and not to
participate in politics.
Il came to Louisiana for alb
so!ute rest" he said. "A few
persons have called on me at New
iberia, but so far as within my
power have declined to partici-
pate in politics Of any nature. As
for the judgeship, there will prob
ably be no appointment until next
December, as I do not lok for a
recess appointment; hence there is
no hurry"
Mr.. Broussard is improved in
health and is gaining but he has
= n entirely recovered. This is
his first visit to the city since early
last spring.
Asked about the report from
Washington that he had indorsed
Judge John C. Pugh, Of Shreve-
port, Mr.. Brsussard reiterated his
previous statement that he was
not taking any active part in the
matter.

After the consultation with DR..

Stark took the afternoon train
for home.
A morning dispatch from Wash

Pugh of Shreveport for the Boar
man post. Judge Pugh was in
Washington Tuesday and had an

Eroussard now in the city believe !
there is something in the Pugh
report. Their understanding is
that BrOussard has not formally 9
indorsed Pugh but that he gave !
him letter Of introduction to the
attorney general which gave
ground for the report.

choir might make you restive in the Te Deum, which is chiefly used, in these modern days, in city as well as country, as an object of penance for church-going, or it, might flat during the Old Chant in the Gloria in Ex- celsis, which every country choir re- joices to use, chiefly because of the certainty that the organ note will soar triumphantly higher by a tone or two than the soprano singer will succeed in reaching. Yes, but you could show heartful of sympathy with the few people and the tired priest who are keeping the doors of that little church open Sunday by Sunday, if not day by day; who are helping to give a little touch of ideal- ism to humdrum lives of hard-work- ing people in that rural countryside; who are sweeping back the tide of organism and low morals that threaten to engulf our rural commuh- ities; who are training the bulwarks of our democracy. And the great God, who loves the beauty of holiness, and who made those forests of waving trees, who adorned those hillsides and plains with brilliant flowers, who laid thee arpet of moss and ferns in those shady places-yes, who designs to re- ceive and accept your expensive form of worship during the winter, when it is too cold for motor riding-He was present among those two or three who were gathered together in His name there in that country church before you came. He is ac- cepting their simple, unadorned wor- ship. He is ready to receive and to bless and to give the peace that passeth all understanding and that triumphs over all misunderstanding on this hot, summer day, to the humblest and least of all his chill dren-even to you. Why not receive it from Him?

REGENT INTRUSION OF MAN.
The strongest opponents to inc

The strongest opponents to the ad- vance of civilization in west Genital Africa, says Bishop Lambuth, the Methodist missionary. are the wild elephants. They break down fences, trample gardens. pull up trees and even telegraph poles, for no Other ap- parent reason than because they. ob- ject to anything strange in their fa- miliar haunts. One savage monster nearly wrecked a small steam launch belonging to the mission on the up- per reaches of the Congo.
 The boat, with three white men ,in- cluding the bishop, and a crew of five negroes, had tied up on the edge of a deep forest in a quiet bend of the river. A stout plank was laid as gangway from the bow to the bank and the crew worked until nightfall cutting and piling firewood, for the
 boats furnace; then they came on deck for their evening meal. The three white men were already at din- ner. when a fearful yell from the na- tives brought them out of the cabin to see a large elephant viciously at- tacking the woodpile. The blacks shouted and threw missiles, and two ol tuc ulOIc NeHtuToSOmo even WeH' ashore with firebrands snatched out of the cook stove to drive the mon ster away: But he paid no attention
 to them until he had demolished the
 woodpile, when he whipped one man with his trunk heels over head into
 tht river, and chased the other back into the boat.
 Thundering loudly, with red gullet
 open, tusks flashing and trunk fiail- l ing the air, he planted both tremen- dous forefeet on the gangplank. It
 bent until it cracked under his weight, but held stoutly, although the whole boat careened, and seemed ready to apsize.
 In another moment the, elephant
 had crossed the plank, and was astrloe it with hindfeet on the shore ana forefeet on heiboat. There he stood, afraid to advance to retreat, a gigan- tic image of baffled rage. In his fury he began stamping with those great forefeet, and the boat rocked crazily back and forth.
 What might have happened If the
 monster had come aboard'wit1 all his frenzied weight can only be imagin- ed; for the captain by this time had fetched the only rifle on board and risking all on one shot, had thrust the muzzle almost into the gaping

men. Shall the janitor and religious editor assume halos because they are not numbered amidst this cheerful throng of twentieth century Chris tians? No, forsooth, they will join the majority" some day, when the great leveler shall have gathered them in-but not, while they live, on Sum days. Circumstances beyond their control have kept temptation out of their path. Of course it is their duty to go to church!
 But-once more-why, in the name of common sense, shouldn't the motor car be used to promote church going ? What a blessing, what an encourage ment it would be to the parsons and the humble village folk within a range of 25 miles from Somebody's summer home, if Somebody's motor car would bring Somebody's family to each of those country churches some time during the summer! Did you ever stop to think, MT. Somebody, of the loneliness, the friendliness, the isola- ton, that the country clergy so often feel? Have you read anything about
 the rural church problem? Do you
 know that there is an increasing sense
 of injustice, if not of bitterness, on the part of, country clergy and church people, by reason of the lack of sym- pathy and the neglect which they re- ceive from the Churchmen of the city ? Did it ever occur to you that what these rural and village churches need ,, from you isn't so much money as it is sympathy? And will you deny that
 this is just what you are not giving them?
 You ride by, MT. Somebody, on a Sunday morning, with your gay fam fly, in your august touring car that
 costs you more for its maintenance in
 month than you give for the spread
 of the gospel throughout all the world in three years. Why can't you run
 your car up to the door of the homely little church, help your wife sand fam- fly to alight, and take a real, sympa- thetic part in the homely worship that
 those homely farmer-folk are offering
 within it's walls? Why don't you give some encouragement to ethe village
 missionary who is seeking to make
 bricks without straw in that rural community? His sermons wouldn't
 be so prosy if he had reason to be- lieve that a few new listeners-people of such splendid intellectual caliber ! as you, MT. Somebody-would drive up occasionally in their cars and take
 an intelligent part in the service. The

SEES IN MOTOR
 CARS A WAY TO PROMOTE CHURCH
Automobile Parties In Country May Aid Rural Clergy by
 S Church Going.

{ Why, in the the name of common sense, shouldn't the motor car be used to promote, rather than to hinder, the church-going of the summer Sunday?
 F,verybody knows that it is not. The clergy used to dread the e\rainy Sum- days. says the Living Church. because of their disastrous effect upon Sun day congregations. Now they dread the bright Sundays, when everybody that. is somebody is off riding in his automobile, leaving only the janitor, his wife and children, and the editor of the religious paper, to go to church. .NThe poor ye have always with you" and they are the only ones left on Sundays. Behold the long line of au- tomobiles on Sunday morning headed for every country road, winding through the most remote country dis tricts. These are not only the rich though they are among them; those same individuals who are CUTS ing the state in July for maintaining such impossible roads. while in No- vember they will cheerfully cast their little ballots in favor of the candidate who has howled loudest for lower taxes. No, there are more people on those roads this bright, beautiful July Sunday than there are on the income tax roll of the state. The senior war den. his wife and family; the junior warden, the vestryman, the Sunday school superintendent and the teach ers-it's vacation, now, of course-the director of the Brotherhood chapter, the excellent presidentress of the
 Woman's Auxiliary, and she of the

 the base of the brain. The elephant
 tumbled to his knees and into the
 water next the bank, his bulk thrust
 ing the boat aside so suddenly that
 it snapped the bowlines-and sent the
 men staggering to the gunwale.
 At the next government trading post the caPtain had two splendid tusks to show as the result of his cool dar- ing; but to his astonishment he was arrested for shooting the elephant without license It was with great difficulty that the government official was convinced that the animal had
 been shot in self-defense. Even then he confiscated the ivory.-Youth's 3 Companion.

Must Cut Advertising.

The publishers of the York (Pa)
Dispatch have sent a circular letter
to their advertisers soliciting a re
duction of business. 1t is explained
that the shortage of paper makes il
necessary to curtail the size Of issues
for the present. This means that a
newspaper of the class of the dis
patch cannot publish its usual volume
of advertising, at its usual rates, at
profit. Could any situation be more
intolerable to publishers? Until the
paper market is readjusted, and fair
prices prevail, advertising rates must
be increased to cover the extra tax.
And this is not always possible, for

are made for long terms, and have
