DEMOCRACY VS. |MPER.
IAL|SM|.

Unless the German govern 4
ment can saddle its war expen-
ses on defeated enemies, which is
its present hope, the German
people will be crushed with debt
for centuries to come, to pay for
an emperor's ambition. Ameri-
cans cannot help wondering why
any great, strong intelligent peo-
pie should think they need an
emperor, or should tolerate one.
From this side of the sea democ-
racy, or republicanism, has al
ways seemed infinitely better.
And never did democracy shine
so bright as now, placed in con-
trast with hideous results of inn
perialism.
Bankruptcy in money is bad
for any nation. 1t brings un-
told and long. continued suffer
ings upon the poor. But even
worse is bankruptcy of men, the
terrible waste of human life in
war. Worse yet is bankruptcy
in morals, the loss Of a nations
good name and self respect.
Today, as in the old time, it is
Righteousness that exalteth a ma
tion, and sin remains reproach

GOSPEL TRUTH.

The following from a recent
editorial in New Orleans Item
meets our hearty approval.
What the Governor said of North
Carolina and the Item of Louisi-
ana, is equally applicable to Miss
issippi.
In his recent inaugural address
Governor Beckett, of North Caro-
lima, touched upon this very
subject in the following startling
language;
eff | were the Ozar of North
Carolina instead of Governor, |
would issue an edict declaring
that from and after five years
from that date any man who i'm
ported into North Carolina any
corn or meal. wheat or flour,
beef or bacon, shonld be forth
with hanged without trial by
jury and without benefit of
clergy. Of course, in the begin
ing would be denounced as an
infamous tyrant, but after the
law had been in effect for ten
years the richest state in the
Union would build o monument
to me as the financial redeemer
of my people"
While the Governors methods
would be somewhat drastic, his
philosophy is faultless. A state
can never develop if its people
do not patronlze and encourage
its own husbandry. To send
money away from home that
might just as well be spent at
home ia to increase the debit
side of the ledger without adding
anything to the credit side.
Sending money outside Of
Louisiana for farm products of
any kind that can be raised in
Louisiana is building up other
states and adding to the wealth,
trade and population of other
cities. 1t is discouraging the
farmer who lives in Louisiana
and keeping away those who
might invest in Louisiana. Free

No one can make hogs profitable by

A balanced growing ration which has

be fed. 1t has been in the past the
general belief among farmers that pro-
tein is protein, wherever it is found,
and that it's source could in no wise

Corn contains 10 per cent protein, but

Raccoons. Have Curious Habit OF
Washing Their Food.

Washing Their ROOD.
Few American wild animals are more
widely known or excite more popular
interest than the raccoon, which occu-
pies most of the wooded parts OF North
America from the southern border of
Canada to Panama with the exception
of the higher mountain ranges.
Its diet is extraordinarily varied and
includes fresh water clans. crawiish.
frogs, turtles. birds and their eggs.
poultry, nuts. fruits and green corn.
When near water raccoons have a curl
Gus and unique habit of washing their
food before eating it. Their fondness
for green corn leads them into frequent
danger. for when bottom land corn
tempts them away from their usual
haunts raccoon hunting with dogs at
night becomes an especially favored
sport. Raccoons are extraordinarily
intelligent animals and make interest
ing and amusing pets.
They began to figure in our frontier
literature at an early date. Coon
skin caps. with the ringed tails hang
ing like plumes. made the favorite
headgear of many pioneer hunters. and
coonskins were recognized articles of
barter at country stores. Now that
the increasing occupation of the cOun-
try is crowding out more and more of
our wild life it is pleasure to note
the persistence with which these char

Listing retards this rapid early growth
and is often a decided advantage on
this account.
Where the seasons are very short
surface planting is better than listing,
as the retarding of early growth leaves
the plants insufficient time to reach
maturity. Where surface planting is
practiced on fairly level land it is
usually advisable to plant in checks to
permit cross cultivation. Cross cult

A thin stand of plants is an essen.

When planting is done with lister IN

apart the plants should be one in a
place and from eighteen to thirty-six
inches apart. depending upon the rain

stand should not be thicker than two

than the number Of plants desired.
Some young plants, mostly the weaker

In certain droughty sections, where

Where the summers are long other
crops or another crop Of corn can be
planted later in the season between

Corn should not be covered with

FIND YOUR COURSE.
Tread the Road Leading to the Goal
"a Life Well Lived"


There is only one best conduct of
life for you. and that is the one that
is best for you. Those who wander
Rimlessly in quest Of the single right
formula for existence grope in a maze
through which they must thread their
way endlessly in search of the center
which does not exist.
There is no one recipe which will
serve for all mankind. Each must
learn not his neighbours but his own
best way of living. To one it may be
the routine task. the daily round. to
curb the wandering will and bring con-
tent. To another it may be the forti-
tude to escape the sheltering care or
habit or the lassitude Of sloth. TO one
it should be the abandonment Of phi
losophy or introspection to rub elbows
with his fellow men; to another. the
willingness to let the soul awaken and
breathe amid the sky trimmed prairie
and under the deathless stars; to one.
hearthstone and slippers; to another,
the seven seas. the aurora borealis and
the Southern Cross; to one. society;
to another, solitude; to one. the quiet
which stills the passions; to another.
the eternal restlessness which brings
achievement.
The best rounded life contains some
thing of each and all. There are but
two attitudes to avoid-the level line
of least resistance and the rigidity OF
self distrust which denies every i'm
pulse simply because it is impulse.
Somewhere between the two lies your
course. Many are the Tickets to be
hewed down. many the crags to be
scaled. But beyond stands the Inn in
the Clearing, where faithful travellers
may find the refreshment, the rest and
the kindly words of welcome which
form the goal and reward Of life we'll

Learn to Be Thrifty,

Thriftlessness seldom if ever is able
to seize and detain opportunity or to
drive advantageous bargains.
What men call luck generally is a
combination of foresight. industry.
pluck and thrift in the lucky man.
To save is to have, to own is to pos
sess power. Property speaks loudly
and largely sways the commonwealth.
The thrifty contribute most to the wei
fare Of the state.
The purchaser on credit pays not
only for the property, but for the time
it takes to complete the purchase. 1t
seldom is the thrifty way to finance
deals. The extra expenditure is equiv
alent to the loss of so much interest on
ones principal.
