weather of the past few days has not
been very beneficial to corn, and it is
feared that an early frost is imrp1nent.
A few more days of real hot weather

in it's history. The weather on Wednes-
day moderated considerably.

hand most any money lender makes
it his business to seek loans on
farms having good public roads
leading to them while on the other
hand they have no roads worth while
it oftentimes deprives the farmer of
a loan which he needs at certain
seasons of the year. Then take into
consideration the wear and tear to
vehicles automobiles, etc. over bad
roads. The cost during the year is
very often more than the small tax
required for their construction and
maintenance. When the land owner
votes against an improvement tax of
this nature he does himself an in
justice more than to any one else
for the reason that good roads are
absolutely essential to his own sue
cess and it is his holdings that is en-

discipline. What need instance? He
that hath read with Judgment Of ma

that whatsoever power and sway In
mortal things weaker men have attrib-

confidence ascribe either to the vigor
or the slackness of discipline. And
certainly discipline is not only the re-
moyal Of disorder but the very
visible shape and image Of virtue;
whereby she is not only seen In
the regular gestures and motions Of
her heavenly PAGES as she walks, but
also makes the harmony Of her voice
audible to mortal ears.--MiltOn.

something not to be closely Guilt
waited.
Most people regard trip to the
Louisiana State Fair as distinct
pleasure, one to be posted with the
red-letter days. A few insist that it
is hard work, but that depends. This
year attendance on the State Fair,
or agricultural fairs in general, for
that matter, is a duty that every
person interested in the campaign of
food conservation-which includes
about everybody-owes it to him
self and to the country which is at
last waking to the fact that the in
crease in population is travelling
much faster than the increase in
food production; and that year of
even a partial crop failure would be
calamitous. AS people we still
have considerable to learn. Some
of the much-needed lessons can be
gained at the State Fair.
Both Pretident Wilson and Food
Administrator Hoover have declar-
ed themselves in favor of the agri-
cultural fairs, and have urged the
people to give them their liberal
support. So let's all take their ad-
vice and go theis year when for
once, at least, Duty and Pleasure
will walk in the same path with us.
