Bradley an unusual but most accept

Bradley, who is car inspector for
the Southern railway, was going
about his work in the cold gray dawn
when he saw some kind Of fowl
perched on the rods of a fast South
srn freight train which was just pull
ing in from Birmingham. He investi-
gated and found fat, sleek and thor
oughly frst-class Minorca hen. He's
not going to eat her because she's
too fine a bird and because eggs are a
nickel each these days.
How far the hen had ridden on its
chilly perch and where she boarded
the train remain a mystery.

FAMOUS PATHFINDER
DROPPED DEAD


Ernest L. Ferguson, expert auto
mobile driver, who conducted the
Item Pathfinding Tour from Florida
to Southern California two years
ago, dropped dead in the offices OF
the American Automobile Association
in Washington, D. G., Friday after
noon. Heart disease was the ailment.
News of the death was received by
telegram from his widow.
Mr.. Ferguson was about 45 years
old. He was the first to undertake
to make detailed maps and logs OF
Southern interstate and transconti-
mental highways. The Florida-Cali'
fornia route he mapped out in the SIX
weeks trip in 1915, has since been
adopted almost without change as the
official Spanish Trail route. Some
of its main points are Jacksonville,
Pensacola, Mobile, New Orleans,
Lafayette, Crowley, Jennings
Lake Charles, Houston, San Antonio,
Ell Paso and Los Angeles.
Mr.. Ferguson was accompanied by
mis- wife in all of the Southern path
finding trips, The family home is
in Washington.
A Great many Of our citizens will
doubtless remember Mr.. Ferguson,
popularity known as the pathfinder"
Mr.. Ferguson with his wife and two
children had many good things to say
about Jennings when they were here,
Included our city in their itinerary
covering the All Southern Trans-Con-
tinental all the year round Highway"
Mr.. Ferguson, it will be remembered
was escorted into Jennings by COM
mittee of citizens headed by the mayor
made a good roads speech at the City
Hall and was banqueted at the Hote
Mahaffey.

LOUISIANA BOYS
RAISE 1900 PIGS

Louisiana pig club boys raised y
224 pigs in 1916. OF these 1908 were
Duroc-Jerseys; 422, Poland Chinas;
261. Berkshires; 81, Chester Whites;
81, Hampshires; 4, Essex; 8, Tam
worths; and 436, Grades.
The average initial weight Of these
pigs was AZ pounds, indicating that
most of the club members started the
years work with young pigs. The
average weight at the time the re-
ports were made was 205 mounds. The
average initial value of the pigs was
$3.50 and the avesage psesent value
s31 20, according to the bcy's estl-
mates.
The total final weight of these pigs
is 455,92O pounds, which, valued, at
eight tents a pound live weighT, would
make the pigs raised by the boys this
year worth, as pork, $3G,4786O. The
aitual value of the pigs is consldera"
bly aboae this as 81 per cen. Of them
were pure-bred and many were prize
winners at parish fairs and the State
Fair, which gaze them an enhanced
value as breeding stock.
There were 8O2 pigs exhibited at
parish and community fairs and 2GO
at the State Fair. The railway COM
panies hauled 10 car loads Of boys
pigs to and from the State Fair at
Shreveport free of charge. The State
Fair association spent approximately
$1,000 in premiums and in caring for
the pigs while on exhibition.
The following breeders associations
gave special premiums to pig-clu5
members this year; The National
National Duroc-Jersey Record asso-
citation American Polan China asso-
citation, American Berkshire associa-
ton, and the American Hampshire
Breeders association.
A number of banks and business
men helped to start the boys in the
pig-club work by lending money fol-
the initial purchases. In one parish
Sc pigs were purchased through a
single bank and in another parish Z
swine breeder distributed 40 pigs tC
boys on condition that each would re-
turn him two pigs from the first
litter.
Both methods of helping the clul
members to get start in pig raising
have proved very successful and thu
boys, almost without exception, have
been faithful in meeting their obi
! gations.-L. S. u. Press Bulletin.

The Man With the Peanut Soul.

We saw where a moving picture
was made the other day, and its pur-
pose was to portray the "man with
a peanut soul" Stingy, grasping,
holding on to all he could get. We
have him in this community. We
wonder where the film man knew
him?
Think carefully over your list Of
friends and acquaintance, and maybe
YOU will find him. He's in this COM
munity-you have our word for 1t;
we know him and could call his name
If we had the mind, But, we think
you'll know him, too. Think a min
ute.
Do you know any man who blocks
all public progress because of mer-
cenary greed to hold on to what
somebody else gave him? Do you
know a soul shrivelled in greed who
never spends a ce ntunless he mort
cages all its pleasure for himself
Do you know a man who makes no
movement to help the community un-
less he sees more than eight per
esnt allowed on the straight loan
coming back to him? That's the
man!
What? You don't think of him?
You can't recognize him in your list
Of friends? We don't see how you
missed, him, unless unless, he is
you, yourselfl

MAKE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS.
Get Ahead of the Other Feilcw by
Picking Scraps of Time from the
Waste Basket.

Abraham Lincoln would split rails
all day in the forest and then after
his DAYS work would walk five miles
to borrow book to study and improve
himself. It is said of George Wash
ington, in answer to a question of his
mother as to why he studied so late
at night, replied that he was working
out the destiny of his country, and
he did. |
There are hundreds of young people
today who are DESTROYS of gaining
practical education, but for one rea-
son or another they cannot leave home
to secure it, so they drag along from
one year to the next in the same old
rut. There are hundreds Of others
who cannot attend our school in per-
son that are availing themselves OF
the opportunity offered by the Core
spondence Department of the College,
saving their leisure moments and in
vesting them in an education that will
mean thousands of dollars to them in
the coming years.
You say that you are not able to
take course, but the person who can
least afford it is the one who needs
it most, and should have it by all
means at any sacrifice; it does not cost
much.
Young friend, why not take advan-
tage of your opportunity and gain q
business education by using the mo-
ments that otherwise would be
wasted? Why not spend an hour Of
the long winter evenings after night
fall qualifying yourself with a
knowledge of the famous Byrne Sim
plifed Shorthand, Steno-typewriting,
Practical Bookkeeping, Typewriting,
Arithmetic, Grammar, Writing, Sales
manship and Business Efficiency, Ad-
vertising and Telegraphy, for which
the business world readily pays cash.
