The value of the rural press is not
realized by one farmer in a hundred.
BY this / mean that the farmer is slow
to take advantage of the profits which
the publicity of the press place at his
command in the disposal of blooded
stock and exchange or animals and the
disposal Of seed grain. There's no rea-
son why the farmer should not avail
himself Of the advertising columns of
the paper as well as the village mer-
chant. By using printers ink there
are many instances where the products
of the farm might be sold without loss
of time Incidental to taking the same to
market and there disposing of it at
price named by the other fellow. This
Is especially true in the sale of bIooded
stock, as by advertising, buyers are at
tracted from long distances. The post
ing of notice on the fence corner may
have its virtues, but few people have
the inclination to get out of their auto
mobiles or tie up their teams to read a
poorly written ad tackled up on fence
post. The same notice, perhaps at q
cost not to exceed rs cents, might be
placed before a thousand farmers who
would be permitted to read it while
spending the evening around the parlor
table. But advertising is a study in
which business men have learned but
the rudiTnents, so it should not be ex-
pected that the farmer will have taken
any advanced grounds in reference
thereto. H. G. H6taling; Of Nationpl

Farmer Boys Short Course
AT L. /. /.

Beginning Wednesday, July 18th, and
continuing for three days, the Agricul-
tural Department of the Louisiana In
dustrial Institute at Ruston will offer
to the farmer boys Of North Louisiana
and other interested in agriculture its
First Annual Farmer Boys Short
Course.
A broad and practical course, touch
ing on almost all phases of farm life
has been arranged, and well-known
agricultural speakers will be on hand
to present the various topics. Practi-
cal lectures, illustrated talks, demon
strations. etc., will be given, and the
model farm, the modern dairy barn,
creamery and all other features of the
Agricultural Department viii be open
for inspection and study at all times.
Although the course has been arrang-
ed with the interest, mainly, of the
boys in mind, it is hoped there will be a
good attendance of farmers as well, be-
cause the work viii be. of such a
character as to be of benefit to them.
Instruction will be entirely without
cost. All boys who come will be taken
cost of rs cents per day for board and
room. Parents need not be afraid to
let their boys come alone, as they will
be carefully taken care of while in
Ruston.
A detailed program course has beer
prepared and win be mailed to anyone
interested in the work.
Any additional information can be
secured by writing to the Department

The Part of the Press
Beaumont Enterprise.

Beaumont Enterprise.
Newspapers of the United States are
today doing as much or more for the
government than any other class of
business institutions. Their columns
are filled daily with appeals in behalf
of the liberty loan bonds, in behalf of
recruition Cor the army and navy. And
for these things they receive no pay.
While providing appropriations to
cover every other sort of expense in
cidental to the war, not a dime was
provided for publicity, other than what
could be furnished by the government
printing Office.
1t appears to be the expectation of
congressman and senator's that such adj
vertising as is necessary for war pur-
poses will be given free by the news
papers. And this expectation is being
shown to be correct. Nor are the news
papers complaining. They are patri-
otto, and are willing to do their bit in
any way the government may desire.
But it would seem that these same
congressman are senators, who take the
cooperation of the newspapers for
granted, should refrain from seeking to
handicap the already heavily burdened
press by excessive taxed or by insane
censorship rules.

The Farmers And The
Liberty Loan

One aspect Of the s., 600, 00O, 900 loan,
the Liberty Loan of 1917, that the far.
mers OF. America may well consider is
that very great portion. of the money
raised by the bond issue will come di-
rectly into the pockets of the farmers
of the Nation.
All of the money advanced to our al
lies will be expended in the United
States and as they are making all of
their own munitions practically all of
the money advanced them win be spent
for products of the farms for cotton
for clothing and high explosives. wool
for clothing and leather for shoes; but
by far the greater part of the money
loaned our allies will be expended here
for food products.
In few months the United States
will have under arms 200, 900 men and
500, 900 reserves in training; so lnclud-
ing the Navy there will be 1000. 900
men that our Government will feed and
clothe. This will make the United
States Government by far the largest
single customer the farmers of America
have.
The Secretary of the Treasury is en-
ploying such methods in handling the
loan that no community will be denuded
Of money by reason of Liberty Loan
purchases. The money will be left in
local banks and as the Government pur-
chases food and supplies the money
raised by the bond issue will pass back
into the pockets of the people.
The farmers of the country should
subscribe literally to the Liberty Loan
Bonds. They get the safest investment
in the world and their money supplies
their best customer the funds to pur-
chase their products. This is political
economy the wisdom of which is plain
t. everyone.

town was crowded with people
from every section of the parisl
and visitors from many sections
Of the State.
According to custom the cashier
of the Merchants & Farmers Bank,
Mr.. A. E. Bah had just returned
from dinner and asst slant cashier,
Mr. Flowers Hill left for his, and
Mr.. Bath was busy at the adding
machine when he was overpowered
from the rear, evidently by a
strong man as his throat will bear
the impress Of fingers for long
time, a heavy piece of canvass
saturated with some drug thrown
over his face and he was ordered
not to make any outcry.
Not being in very good health.
Mr.. Bath evidently succumbed to
the effects Immediately as it could
not have been very long after,
when a couple Of patrons entered
the bank to transact some business
and found him on the floor I'M
conscious and the alarm was given
but it was sometime before the
doctors could bring him to. In
his semi-conscious state he kept
trying to say something and finally
when the words vault rob-
were understood an investigation
was made and tho the money at
the cashiers window was untouch- |
ed, package of $4,000 in $500 !
bills was scattered on the floor of
the vault. A hastv examination
Of books and money was made
and about $34O0 or $4,000 was
found missing. The Sheriff and !
his assistants at once went to work,
wired and phoned along every pos
'ible route, but without the slight
sst clew. Saturday morning the
Southern Surety Co., had a repre- /
