PASTOR STOR.NED.

Editor Blade -
Please allow me few words
through your valuable paper, to
thank the many lends, who on last
Thursday MIS- invaded my little
home, at 48 w Johnson st.
wish 20 say it was complete sur,
prise: was fanked on all sides, and
as a matter of fact was forced to
capitulate. Stubberness on my part
would have meant only sacrifice, fam
inc and hunger therefore | thought
it part Of wisdom to yield to the
overwhelming odds against me.
But when the smoke and fury of
the hour had vanished, | beheld a
band Of smiling friends, whose faces
bore the expression of peace, good
will and confidence in their pastor
They carried in their hands, tokens
that answered for the silent words OF
their hearts, then | could only say
Lord make me worthy
Language fails me to express in
words, how thankful my wife and ]
am, to this kind and generous host OF
gentlemen, ladies, christians and
friends. Indeed the high cost of living
has been solved in this particular
case. Packages of flour, sugar, meal
and canned goids lay upon the table
as plenteous as the old-time southern
sweet potatoe pile; also a nice purse
Of Uncle Sans legal tender.
May the good Lord enable them to
repeat this again in the near future
God bless them. Thanks, Thanks.
Z. T. Smith.

plosive charges to be pumped into
the muffler and then becoming ig-
nited when the former charge is ex-
hausted. Explosion in the intake
manifold comes from too weak gas
mixture, incorrectly timed intake
valve, over-created spark, leaking in
take or the intake valve does not
close properly.
When the engine has a kissing
sound, look for a broken or loose
spark-plug, loose or broken piston
rings or loose valve cap. Water
will boil in radiator if the spark is
over retarded-it will also come
from defective water circulation or
if radiator holes are clogged, clogged
muffler, or from the use of low gear
for too long a period, or the lack of
fabrication. The use of oil on all
friction surfaces, on all parts of car
where metal come into contact with
metal in any way will avoid all
squeaks.
The study of these facts will en-
able most any person to maintain
the most difficult motor or car in gen.
eral.

The Andrew Mehlas Case.

Can the proprietor Of public eat
ing house or other place of public
accommodation refuse to serve a per-
son merely because of the latter's
race or color? The Municipal Court
of Dane County, in the case of The
State VS.. Andrew Mehlas, has decided
that he cannot, and this decision will
be hailed by all fair minded and law
abiding citizens as just and proper. 1t
is in accord with the best public senti-
ment, with the decisions of the State
Supreme Court, with the laws of the
state and with the constitution of the
United States. With whatever may be
Andrews private opinion of these
authorities, we are but little con-
cerned.
This decision should not be taken as
victory for the prosecuting witness.
nor for the race to which he belongs,
but rather as a victory for law and
good order-a vindication of the high
ideals and principles upon which this
old commonwealth is founded.
We are advised that the defendant
is Greek and the prosecuting wit
ness an American citizen. If true,
thi sfact should be so highly priced
that the mere declaration: II am an
American citizen" should serve as
a guarantee of distinguished con.
sideration.
The Judge and the District Attor-
ney are to be commended for their
fair and just consideration of the
case, and the people of Dane County
congratulated upon having such fear
less and uncompromising officers

THE MAN IN CITATION.
By Rev. z. P. Smith,
548 w. Johnson st.

When God created Adam,
He dwelt in Eden's shade,
So Moses has related,
Until the bride was made.
Ten thousands of thousands
Of creatures swarmed around,
Before that Eve was formed,
Or yet a bride was found.
Before she was created,
He still remained alone,
But to his Appreciation,
He found he'd lost a bone.
Great was his exultation,
To see his lovely bride;
How great his elevation,
To have her at his side.
He spoke as in rapture,
know from whence you came,
From my left side extracted,
And woman is your name.
Then Adam he was happy,
To see his lovely bride,
A part of his own body,
The product of his side.
This woman was not taken
From Adams head we see,
AND SHE is NOT TO RULE HIM
You evidently see.
This woman was not taken
From Adams feet we see;
And he is not to abuse her,
The meaning seems to be.
This woman she was taken
From under Adams arm,
And he is to protect her
From injury and harm.
This woman was extracted
From near to Adams heart,
Therefore we are directed
That they shall never part.
Here's council to the bridegroom,
Likewise unto the bride
Let not the Sacred volume
Be ever laid aside.
The book that's called the Bible,
Be sure you don't neglect
In every sense of duty
1t will you both protect.
The bride she's commanded,
Her husband to obey;
In everything that's lawful,
Until the dying day.
The bridegroom is commanded,
To love his lawful bride;
And live as should a christian,
And for his house provide.

living to the meeting of the
Grand Jury Thursday, it was nee
essary that the meeting of the Po.
| lice Jury be held in the office of
, the City Court. Among the
transactions of which the entire
public is interested were the call
ing for bids for the building of
the fourteen additional dipping
vats. 1t will be remembered that
some months ago this Body called
for bids, but owing to the price
submitted for the work being con-
sldered too high they were re-
Jected and for some reason or
other the matter held in abeyance
until Thursday. The bids are
called for and the conditions are
that the work must be completed
within sixty days. Another piece
Of business Of much interest to
the people was the request made
by the Jury on the State Conser-
vation Board to appoint an agent
for this Parish. When taken into
consideration that there are two
game preserves in this Parish re-
quiring close attention we can
not understand why other par
ishes are given agents and Iberia
left without any protection. The
game preserve of Mrs. Russell
Sage, situated on the shores of
the marsh near Avery's Island is
entitled to this protection and the
only way we can hope to conserve
certain game that should be pro-
tected is to have an official to look |
after this important philanthropic
work. We hope those In author /
ity will see the justice of the
claim of the Police Jury who have
made this demand upon them. and
make an appointment as early as
possible.

| What came near being a hot
| ly fought civil case before the
| District Court On Thursday morn
ing owing to some injunction pro
ceedings being filed against the
Baldwin Lumber Co. of ST. Mary
by Nessrs. N. \. Patout & Son
and DR.. u. S. Perrett of Patout-
vile to estop them from building
a tramWay on their property, re
suited IN a compromise and all Of
those interested are satisfied with
the way matters turned out. 1t
will be remembered during the
year 1912 the Baldwin Lumber
Company bought outright a large
tract of timber land owned 10y
Messrs. BOURGEOIS 4 BeauIIicn
for the sum of $740,000.00. This
vast array of valuable timber lies
back of the property Of the plain
tltfs and there was no way III
which it could be removed unless
the lands of Messrs. Patout and
DR.. Perrett were traversed for this
purpose. Immediately after the
purchase of this land the owners
obtained right-of-way from some
Drainage Board to lay a tramway |
along side of a canal to their
property, it being the only way
they could reach their timber. 1t
did not take the plaintiffs in the
matter long to enJoin them from
using lands that had been do
mated solely for a drainage ditch
and thus they were enjoined from
proceeding further. On Thurs
day morning an array of attor-
neys got together before begin
ming the case, which would prob /
ably have been tied up in the !
higher Courts for three or four
years and a compromise was
reached by the Baldwin Lumber

HIGH COST OF FEED SHOULD
ELIMINATE POOR COWS.

The high cost Of feed for dair,
COWS has been alarming to tn,
dairymen all over the country fol
the last few months, and many
say they cannot buy feed at pres
ent prices, and sell milk for what
the consumer and dealers want tC
pay. We wonder how many OF
these same dairymen are keeping
records. of the milk and butter
fat produced by their cows. and
the feed they consumer?
The time is here when the
dairyman must know what each
COW in his herd is doing. and
whether or not she is paying for
the feed anela1Aar that is re-
quired to keep her. There is
only one way to know which cows
are making a profit for the dairy
man, and that is to weigh the
milk and make fat test Of it
once each month: keep an account
of the feed consumed and strike
a balance at the end of the month
then keep the COW that makes
money for the owner. feed well
and send the others to the butch

A recent circular sent out from
the University of Wisconsin,
which state is a leader for prof
liable dairy farming, makes the
following statements, "Officials
in charge of the cow-testing asso-
Citations report unusually large
fatalities among the ranks of the
low producing herd members.

the life of trade but it is the
death Of the Improbable COW.

some COWS were human and could

and their small returns, they
would be tempted to commit sui
