figures concerning the financial,
commercial and agricultural oppor-
tunities that may be found ir Louis
lana.
The far-reaching possibilities of
the development of the live stock
industry in Louisiana are almost
boundless in scope.
There has been "a steady decrease
in the production of live stock in
America for many years past, while
at the same time the population has
been rapidly increasing; and within
ten years this has resulted in an ad-
vance of nearly 100 per cent in the
prices paid by the customer.
Conditions abroad are infinitely
worse than in the United States,
owing to the tremendous demands
incident to the European war, which
has still further reduced the already
depleted foreign herds.
Louisiana is better adapted to
live stock than any other section of
the country on account of the mild
climate, abundant rainfall and soils
Of remarkable fertility, giving open
pasturage throughout the year;
whereas, Northern and Western
stock must be housed and fed dur
ing the long cold winters.
The combination. of men of large
affairs and great wealth who . are
behind the Louisiana Live Stock
Company, in itself assures the full
est measure Of success to this enter
prise, which will be a most impor-
tant addition to the business world
of New Circumstances Picayune.

Infancy Of Whlst Playing.

According to an authority. whist or
"whisk," as It was called. was gener-
ally played three centuries ago. For
many years the game. under the appel
htions Of "whisk" and ''swobbcrs."
was played only by servants and 9th
ers Of the humber classes. and It was
not until more than century had
passed that 1t reached the drawing
rooms Of tho wealthy and the nobility.
The first mention Of whist In lsscra-
ture was made by Taylor. the water
poet, In 1921. He refers to It ~
"whisk." the name having probably
been derived from the practice Of
whisking the tricks from the table -
