thai there is dynamite in the pres.

words used by H. G. Hastings. presi-
dent Of the Southeastern Fair Asso-
citation and the Georgia Chamber of
Commerce. in an interview given to
the newspapers here urging farmers
not to increase their cotton acreage.

that they are planting right up to

pressed.
"On the Hastings farm we don't ex-
pect to put in an acre more of cotton
than We did last year. because we
think it a time above all others to
play safe. What we will increase to
the limit Of our ability will be food,
grain and forage; beef cattle and
hogs
THE safe way is TO first supply all
own acres. and then put surplus acre
age in cotton. With bread and meat
in hand, and a garden producing
steadily through spring. summer and
fall; with home canned vegetable and
fruits on closet shelves for winter Ia.

with labor comparatively scarce
and fertilizer high, any material in

essarily be at the expense Of food and

for Loans from Federal
Land Bank of New Orleans.

All persons interested i'm securing loans
from the newly established Federal Land
Banks should know these facts:
| Any man or woman, without fist:Ec-
ton as to race, or a member Of = rrit-
nership, may borrow money on farm
lands from the Federal Land Banks.
Only those can borrow who ar,l'al Y
cultivate their farms, who hire such cul
tivation, or who are entirely responsive e
financially therefor.
No person can borrow directly from
the bank, but must be member Of a
farm loan association formed by not less
than ten prospective borrowers in any
neighborhood of Louisiana, Mississippi
and Alabama.
Borrowers may secure fifty per centum
of the appraised value of the real estate.
In addition they may borrow twenty per-
centum on the insurable Improvements
on the real estate.
The value of the land is to be fixed by
the loan committee.
No person outside of these three states
can secure loans through the Federal
Land Bank of New Orleans. Partnerships
may borrow, but membership in the as
sociation must be by the partner in whose
name title to the real estate stands.
Husband or wife may borrow, provid-

the Presidents hand-although the
power to declare war is exclusively
prerogative of Congress. .
The chief complaint of Mr.. Wilson's
critics is that he is not belligerent, that
he is not warlike, that he is "toO proud
to fight" For the welfare of Ameri-
can institutions this is happy failing.
A President with Mr.. Wilson's genius
for government and his power to i'm
pose his political will upon others
would be grave menace to the Re-
public if these extraordinary gifts
were supplemented by military am
btion and passion for military glory.
1t was the great and good fortune of
the United States in the Civil War that
it had Abraham Lincoln for President,
all of whose principles and habits of
government were incorrigibly civilian.
Thus a President who might have
made himself an absolute military die
tator held steadfastly to the creed of
the Illinois country lawyer, and that
creed was the creed upon which all
the foundation stones of the Republic
rest. 1t is still the great good fortune
of the United States that in the darkest
crisis of modern history it has Pres
ident with the same unquestionable
passion for justice and liberty, who
looks upon military power only as the
instrument of civil power and worships
no gods of conquest or Imperialism.
If the world, after this war, is to be
re-established upon the basis of dem
ocracy, the political prncipals of
Woodrow Wilson must prevail. Moth
ing else can save it. On the verge of
the crisis, when it is inevitable that
the United States must draw the sword
in defense of its rights and its honor,
the American people can face the fu-
ture in supteme confidence that they
will enter the war under a leadership
that knows no Interior purpose-a
iSouCiSiiiP lidt 10 WISE anu SdRdclOuS
and self-restrained and that will safe.
guard republican institutions as the
most precious possessions of mankind.
No other American is 40 well fitted
by temperament, by training, by abil-
ity and by mastery of the science and
art of government to solve the prob
lens that must confront this country
during the next four years. No other
American in the end is so likely to
dominate the political thought of the
world and guide it along the difficult
path of liberty and democracy. There
is nobody else to whom the American
people can so safely entrust their des-
tiny, or whose faults as well as whose
virtues so surely make for the, preser-
vation of government of the people
by the people and for the people.

Whv Not Fall In Line With Other
Progressive Parishes and Have
Good Roads?

We give below list of the parishes of
Louisiana which have already voted large
bond issues for the benefit of good roads
which shows that already thirty parishes
| out of sixty-three, not counting the Par
ish of Orleans, or almost fifty per cent
of the parishes have recognized the great
importance of good roads and have taxed
themselves and voted bonds to secure
this great benefit. Why cannot Tensas
parish join the group and be counted as
one of the progressive parishes of Louis
lana ?
You may reply. 'The tax would he
very large and we are already taxed as
much as we stand" The answer to this
argument is that the largest tax now
paid by our farmers is tax for. BAD
ROADS. With good roads all over Ten
sas parish, each and every plantation
would annually save in the cost of haul
ing and in the wear and tear on teams
and wagons and harness, far more than
the tax paid by the plantation for good
roads.
But of far more value to the planter
would be the enhanced value of his lands.
In every parish of the State, where good
roads have been built, lands have ad-
vanced in value, People in search of new
homes and farms do not want to buy a
farm located several miles from a rail
road or river if it will take two men and
six mules all day to haul few bales of
cotton or few bushels of corn or ton
OF other freight. Quick transportion is the
only thing to bring the farmer in touch
with the markets, and good roads is the
only method
The passage of the Flood Control Bill,
which will mean practical immunity from
overflows, will add greatly to the value
of our lands, but if we wish to secure the
full benefits of the tide of emigration that
will come our way, drawn here by the
fact that the alluvial sections of Louis
lana are immune from overflow, then we
must build good roads, and thereby at
tract to our parish the best class of home
and farm seekers. Think it over!
Following are the parishes that have |
voted bonds for road building with the |
amount of bonds issued by each parish: |
