HAS NEVER BEEN TRIED.

Discussing matters in general
and war in particular. a gentle
man recently asked a minister if
he considered that Christianity
was a failure.
Il do not know" the minister
replied, it has never been tried.
And of all the discussions we
have heard concerning Christian
ity and the war, that simple stae-
ment was the most forceful pre-
sentation of the ease we have
heard.
The churches are doing all
within their power to have the
world try Christianity. The MIN
listers are preaching it. Organl-
cations to promote the Christian
religion are numerous. People
are PROCESSING Christianity eV-
erywhere, and progress is being
made. But the minister quoted
was correct. Christianity has
never been tried.
1t did not stop the war IN Eu-
rope for the reason that it was
not allowed to operate, if that Is
the way to express IT.
The nations refused to adjust
their differences along the lines
laid down by Christ for adjust
ment of difficulties. Pretending
that they accepted the teachings
of the Nazarene, they violated
every precept that He taught.
SO it was not Christianity that
failed in the settlement of the
trouble in Europe. The trouble
came about because the contend
ers would not deal with the prob
lens as Christians are taught to
deal with such problems.
If one can point to single ut
terance of Christ and say that it
embraces the most Of Christian
itv, it is the so-called Golden
Rule. Indeed many there are
who believe that all else III the
Christian religion could be for
gotten and that simple statement
would, if enforced, save the hu-
man race. But men have not as
yet adopted the Golden Rule; ma
lions have not as yet adopted 1t,
proclaiming it from day to day,
printing it in letters of gilt, ad-
monishing the young to commit
it to memory. The human race
ignores the Golden Rule in the
daily activities Of life.
No, Christianity has never yet
been tried.-State Times.

AN APPEAL.

To the Citizens of Louisiana:
For quick, patriotic prepared
ness: poultry, pigs, potatoes, peas,
pumpkins and peanuts.
We appeal to YOU to give spec
ial attention to more poultry. If
everyone will set only one more
hen and raise ten additional
chickens, it will mean consider
able IN meat and eggs. 1t can be
done.
If everyone will raise just one
or two more pigs, it will mean
considerable meat increase.
If everyone will only increase
the potato acreage by one or two
acres, it will surely help.
If possible plant Porto Rico,
Doolev or Nancy Hall sweet pota-
toes. It don't cost any more to
grow good yams than it does to
grow inferior varieties.
Everyone should plant at least
one acre Of black-eye, crowder or
whip-poor-will peas. They are
find when green and can be gath
cred and dried for winter use.
Pumpkins can be planted in
any old place; Tense corners, va
cant lots, etc. Pumpkins are
good not only for pies, but the
dried pumpkins make splendid
meal. Fifty per cent pumpkin
meal and fifty per cent corn meal
make excellent corn bread. In
fact it is lighter than bread made
Of all corn meal, and really bet
ter. than all corn meal bread.
Peanuts are fine crop for hui
man consumption, poultry and
pigs
Everybody get busy and re-
member the eight P's: patriotism,
preparedness, poultry, pigs, pd-
tatoes. peas, pumpkins and pea
nuts.

HARRY d. WILSON,
Chairman State Food Prepared
ness Commission.

SOME INAUGURATION.

Politics does make strange bed
fellows. We now have the fol-
lowers Of that cause who in April
Of 1916 held up as a bugaboo to
the voters of this parish the
grave possibility of prohibition if
Governor Pleasant were elected
against "Honest Jawn then
held out and banked upon as the
uncrowned king of alcohol and
the antiprohibitioniats. This
April 1917 we see this same cham,
pion of the saloons stand up and
deliver the remnants of what was
heralded the Bull Moose party to
the National Prohibition party.
In other words what was left of
Bull Mooism. which after all vas
never serious, was swallowed by
the Prohibition Party. This same
John Parker. who in 1916 endeav-
ored to ride into office on a
whiskey wave, then heralded as
being against prohibition. and
pictured as a martyr to the pnblic
good, industrious of public office
or honor, is now boot. saddle and
baggage in the anti saloon or pro-

A MAIL-ORDER DEAL.

"Certainly. You have to send
a letter and q money order to a
mail-order house, you know
The customer, inWardly raVin9,
kept his agreement, and paid the
nickel.
"Now twenty-five cents eX-
pressage."
"WeH, III be- he said, but
paid it, saying: "Now hand me
that saw and III take it home my
self and be rid Of this foolery.
bland it to you? Where do you
think you are? You re in North
Carolina, and I'm in Chicago, and
you'll have to wait two weeks for
that saw
Whereupon the dea-er hung the
saw on a peg and put the money
in his cash drawer.
"That makes $751; he said.
ut has cost you two cents more
and taken you two weeks longer
to get it than if you had paid my
price in the first place.

Down in North Carolina, the
other day, a man went in store
to buy a saw. He saw the kind
he wanted. and asked the price.
1t was $3.50 the dealer said.
Good gracious" said the
IMAM. Il can get the same thing
from Sears, Roebuck and Co. for
$1.35."
"That S less than it cost me, y
said the dealer; '''but III sell it
on the same terms as the mail
order house, just the same. y
CAN right" said the customer.
"You can send it along and
charge it to my account. "
"Not on your life = the dealer
replied. "No charge accounts.
You cant do business with the
mail-order house that way. Fork

The customer complied.
CHOW two cents postage
five cents for money order.

IDEALS AMONG NEIGHBORs,

The question that should be
paramount in every community
are what are the ideals of this
community? What does it stand
for? What are the people doing
to help each other and themselves
to live better and to place higher
ideals before the young people?
The community should be like
a partnership in business where
each member of the firm has in
vested his means and does certain
work for the firm and for himself.
In this case. the firm must be pros
porous before the members of
the firm individually can get divi-
dends on their investments in can
ital and labor. Then to mako this
possible, each member Of the firm
must suppress a certain amount
of his individuality for the firm
because his own prosperity is de-
pendent upon the prosperity Of
the firm.
This is the way we stand as in
dividuals in the rural community.
Each member is a part Of the com
each is responsible for
the ideals of the people: each
must suppress part of his self
ish individuality for the benefit

CANNING OUTFITS.

To the Presidents and Members
Of the Police Juries Of La:
Dear friends-I want to ask your
assistance in our food campaign
in the way Of conserving the sur
plus. AS you are well aware,
there is a great waste Of fruits and
vegetables in our State. This
waste can be saved to a great ex-
tent by canning the surplus. Our
blackberry crop alone, if con-
served, would be an important
matter. We must also save all
surplus tomatoes, sweet corn,
okra, beans, peas, cabbage Tin the
form of kraut) peaches, plums,
etc.
| want to ask that you pur-
chase and furnish each high or
central school in your parish with
a canning outfit; this outfit to be
used by the principal, or some
one designated by him, or her,
not only to demonstrate but to be
used in canning the surplus fruits
and vegetables Of the patrons and
neighbors Of the schools. This
can be done on the toll or per-
centage basis. In this way the
party in charge can make a nice
salary as well as show a patriotic
spirit, and if you so desire Won
can demand a percentage of the
toll to compensate the parish for
the expense of the canning outfits.
In my opinion YOU will not
only render a great service temp
orarily to the people Of your par
ish, but you will be giving them
a practical education that will be
of untold benefit in years to come.
Please take this matter up at
you rearliest convenience and give
it earnest consideration.
Yours truly,
HARRY d. WILSON,
Chairman State Food Prepared
ness Commission.
