FROM THOSE HIen UP.

Let those who Have Been Success
full Advise You As To The Kind Of
An Education You Should Have.
Men ct The Head OF The Affairs OF
Our State And Nation.
Following are extracts from some
of Americas greatest men on the
value of q business education. Hon.
Champ CLARK, Speaker of the House
Of Representatives, Washington,
D. O., says: "Since I have been cleo
ted Speaker I have had it more
thoroughly impressed on me than
ever before that . thorough business
college training is Of exceeding i'm
portance. 80. M. Dickinson, former
Secretary Of War, Washington, D. O.,
"Contemporsneously with taking my
general education, I took course In .
business college and found it of value
to me, not only generally but in the
practice of law" R. B. Glenn, ex-
Governor Of North Carolina: 81
cheerfully recommend to every one .
practical business education for their
children" Oswald West, ex-Gov-
ernor of Oregon: "The modern bust.
ness school plays Q large part in 1T
ting young men and women for their
entrance into the business world"
T. O. Pickett, Representative from
Iowa: 1.-THE value, even necessity, OF
q practical education to young people
today IL % obvious that no argument
should be required in support Of it".
e. F. Noel, Ex-Governor of Mississippi:
81 take pleasure in testifying to the
importance of . practical business
education, and to the efficiency of .
properly conducted business school in
imparting such knowledge. O. N.
Haskell, Ex-Governor of Oklahoma:
81 consider practical business ed
ucation of the greatest importance"
"John W. Kern, United States Sena-
tor: Everybody ought by this time
to understand that business men and
business women need business educs-
ton on the same principle that Q
doctor must have . medical edu-
cation" Joseph M. Garry, Governor
of Wyoming. "Too much cannot be
said In behalf of . good commercial
education" I do not believe that
such IN education can be too highly
recommended"
Shouldn't the above evidence settle
the question with you as to what
kind of an education lie needed? Read

THE WAVE OF PEssIMIsM.

Correspondents at Washington who
do not belong to the sensational school
are telling their papers that official
Washington has no inside information
justifying the wave of pessimism
which seemed to pass over the coun-
try during the past week.
The capital does not regard the
war as q frolic. It is not expecting
an early peace. 1t does not agree
with Senator Lewis that the German
Chancellor's speech was bid for the
United States to offer Germany terms.
1t IL willing to believe that the future
Is beset with dangers, though hardly
as grave as Senator Borah pointed
out. 1t knows that there is great
deal of work to do before the tre-
mendous latent power of the United
States is impressed on Germany.
But, according to David Lawrence,
the unusually well-informed cores
pondent OF the New York Evening
Post, there is supreme confidence that
Germany cannot win or make the
terms Of peace and that the war will
only end when the righteous objects
OF this country and its allies are
achieved.
During the week Washington quot
ed unnamed officials as declaring
Russia out of the war and the diff
culties OF the Allies almost hopelessly
increased. War Department heads
say there Is no ground for such state
ments. A New York Times London
dispatch said German submarines
were sinking 100000 tons of ship
ping q week. The figures were
promptly challenged and disproved.
The American officers who went with
Pershing to inspect the western front
and returned to Washington were
said to have reported to the War De-
psrtment that the German lines were
fmpregnable'' and ''invincible."
Secretary Baker met the report with
statement that there was not word
OF truth In 1t.
The confidential advices of am
bassadors, special ENJOYS and army
observers abroad all represent the
Allies. a. resolute In their determi-
nation to 60 forward with the struggle
and confident Of its ultimate result.
Nor is Information wanting that, de-
spite her braggadocio and her military
spurts, the German Government must
deal at home with grave economic
difficulties and a people hungry for
peace.
OF course the motive behind the
encouragement of pessimism at this
time is to make the people realize
the very serious situation which must
be overcome before victory can be
assured and, hence, to arouse them to
self-abnegation and full support of
Government policies. But there
doesn't seem to be any need for over
playing the thing. Every call upon
the people has had a magnificent, pa
triotic response. They are supporting
the Government without having to be
frightened into doing so; and their
confidence is also supreme that. what
ever dangers may lie in store for the
nation, 1t will surmount them all ana
be victorious in the end.-New Or
leans Daily States.

The Louisiana 0rphanage.

"The Louisiana Orphanage Visitor"
for July has reached our exchange
table and we note the following con-
tributions to the Orphansge from
Tensas parish, since last November:
Missionary Society, Waterproof 81 90
Sunday School, Waterproof. 80. $50
Wesley Chapel Sunday School. sos
st. Joseph Sunday School and
community $500
Prof. M. A. Walsworth. ....... 1000
W. r. Baker. 500
A. }. Gibson, Locust Ridge. ..... 500
The Louisiana Orphanage, as has
been explained in these columns, be-
fore, is an eleemosynary institution,
and is entirely dependent for support
on the contributions of a generous
public. They are housing and caring
for q great number of little, helpless
orphanage children, and rearing and
educating them for good and useful
lives. Any support given this in
stitution is we'll invested. Particular
attention is called to the following
article from "The Visitor" showing
how greatly they are in need Of as
sistance:
THE DROUGHT.
Not since 1896, perhaps not then,
has this immediate section undergone
such severe drought as we are now
passing through. We had put in the
largest crop of vegetables, corn, po-
tatoes and other feed crops we had
ever attempted at the Orphanage.
We had very good start and for
while it looked like we would be able
to have more feed stuff in barns, more
canned vegetables and fruits in our
pantry than ever before. In view Of
the fine prospect, we purchased about
six thousand cans, expecting to fill
everything with good things to eat.
We made start by canning Is cans
of English peas. Then the drought
came. With almost an acre in fine
beans, two acres in tomatoes, about
thirty acres in corn, good acreage
to be planted in potatoes, aud the
largest acreage we had ever had in
peas, the drought came in full force.
We have had no rain to speak of
since April. The corn is all ruined,
and we will not be able to gather the
seed We planted. There will be no
beans at all. The tomatoes are dying
as fast as possible, and what few are
on the vines are taking the "dry rot"
The peas we have planted will not
come up, and what few we had to
come early will do nothing. In fact,
our crop, fruit, vegetables, corn, po-
tatoes, melons, sorghum and cane,
will be a total failure, and we will
have nothing to provide our tables
with, or to feed our stock on. This
compels a situation we have never
had to face before, for we have al
ways raised and canned something
each year. Then to make matters
wo rse having to buy everything, we
will be compelled to pay almost double
the price we have had to pay before.
The situation is most serious, and we
confess that we are at loss to know
how we are to meet the conditions.
With 100 children to provide for, we
were never more dependent than
now, and never more in need of help.
We can but trust to God and appeal
to our people to make it possible for
us to meet this situation by giving
more largely to our work.
