AMERICAN AND

The searchlight of war has
brought out many interesting
facts, and one of these is that the
Wanted German efficiency will
not always stand the test of com
parisOn with American efficiency.

the greatest farmers on earth
Investigation shows that in etfici.
ency in agriculture, measured by
the produce per acre, America be

the world, at 205; Great Britain
comes second, at lG4; and Ger
many third. at l55; America
comes forth.
But the better test ia the man
test rather than the acre test, and
here America leads the world by
over to L. Again, grading
America 100 per farm worker,
great Britain produces Az and
Germany IL. The American farmer
cultlvates ~ acres, the German
farmer but 4 With tho aid of
vast quantities OF fertilizer the
German produces more per acre,
but he produces at a much greater
cost per bushel and he produces
much less than half az much pei

the Teche. The other site is the
old site Of the New iberia Cypress
Company. In the case Of this one,
it has the advantage Of greater
room for immediate necessities
and future needs. Both railroads
are Immediately at hand and
would require but email expense
to fit them for caring for any ad
ditionaI traffic which may follow

promoters Of the scheme.

with his frightened shrieks. Cuthfert
did not understand, for they no longer

invariably grabbed for his revolver.
Then he would sit up in bed, shivering
nervously, with the weapon trained on
the unconscious dreamer. Cuthfert
deemed the man going mad and 80

made disastrous inroads upon 1t. The
first words they had were over the
sugar question. And it is a really serl-
Gus thing when two men wholly de-
pendent upon each other for company
begin TO quarrel.
Weatherbee loved to discourse bla-
family on politics, while Cuthfert. who
had been prone to clip his coupons and
let the commonwealth jog on as best
1t might. either ignored the subject or
delivered himself Of startling epigrams.
But the clerk was too Obtuse to appre-
ciate the clever shaping Of thought,
and this waste Of ammunition irritated
Cuthfert. He had been used to blind
ing people by his brilliancy. and 1t
worked him quite a hardship, this
loss of an audience. He felt personal
" aggrieved and unconsciously held
his muttonhead companion responsible
for it.
Save existence, they had nothing In
common-came in touch on no single
point. Weatherbee was clerk who
had known naught but clerking all his
life: Cuthfert was a master of arts, u
dabbler in oils and had written not a
little. The one was lower class man
who considered himself a gentleman.
and the other was a gentleman who
knew himself to be such. From this
it may be remarked that man can
be a gentleman without possessing the
first instinct of true comradeship. The
very presence Of either became per,
sonal affront to the other, and they
lapsed into sullen silences which In
creased in length and strength as the
| days went by. Occasionally the flash
