He who dances must pay the fiddler.
That is an old saying which is full OF
truth. The primary idea in this say
ing, of course, is that one cannot have
any pleasure without paying for 1t n
some way, but this is not the only
sense in which it may be construed.
1t means that We cannot pursue any
foolish policy Indefinitely without pay
ing for ii in the end.
No man can overtax his physical
strength Indefinitely without risk
ing ultimate disaster. Dissipation
or overwork may be continued for
time without any noticeable results,
but if continued for sufficiently long
time the inevitable comes TO pass. The
laws of nature cannot be violated with
IMMUNITY. If one takes out OF life more
than he puts in, if he tears down his
physical strength faster than he builds
it up, he must eventually pay the I'D
der.
What is true of the laws Of nature
is equally true of economic laws. The
people of a community may for a time
tear down the commercial structure OF
a town faster than they build 1t up
without meeting disaster, but it cannot
be continued Indefinitely. In the end
they must pay the fiddler.
Exhaust Resources Of Community.
The person who makes his living IN
a community, receiving the money OF
the community for his labor or the
products of his labor, and then spends
his income outside Of his community
is helping to exhaust the resources OF
the community just as the man who
e1pends his energy through dissipa-
ton OF oyerexertion faster than he
builds it up is exhausting his physical
resources. One man may do this, OF
course, without noticeably affecting the
economic strength of theocommunity,
bu, when a dozen men or women do
it the effect becomes noticeable and
when hundred do it the resources OF
the community become exhausted to
the point where collapse is inevitable.

uation may think that they have profit

SUNDAY CHURCHES NEWS

All the ministers in Morgan City,
yesterday, observed Thrift Sunday
IS requested by the National Admins
hation.
At the Catholic Church, Father
Souby, made an earnest talk on War
and War conditions and entreated
his large audience to live economi-
cally and invest their savings in
Thrift Stamps.
Bishop David Sessums at the Epis-
copal Church last night appealed to
his large congregation to do their
utmost to help win the war by doing
away with unnecessaries things and
invest all they could in the Thrift
Campaign. He also stated that men
were not doing their full duty, as
the women had to bear the brunt of
War activities, and at the same time
he reminded them that although this
was war time the church must not be
neglected.

Provide Market for Farmers.
The merchants of q town, in the frs.
place, provide a market for large
part of the products OF the farmers
in the territory surrounding the town.
They buy the produce Of the farmers
in small quantities, in accordance with
their need, and some Of them buy IN
larger quantities for shipment to for
eigu markets. If the merchants could
not do this there would be no market
at least for the small quantities except
at ruinous prices. If the farmers could
not realize a reasonable profit from
their products. there would be 10 mon
ey for them to spend and there could
be no money to pay for your products
or to pay for your labor. II is there
fore, of the greatest importance 10 ev-
cry member of the community, wheth-
er resident Of the town or q farmer
in the country surrounding the town,
that the merchants be enabled TO pro-
vide this market for at least part OF

to mail order house helps TO diminish

Business in a community cannot be
conducted on a one-sided basis. A man
cannot take out Of his community

give nothing In return. He may do
so for a short time and get away with
it. but In the end he must pay the

Gunner's Mate Wins Praise.

Frederick Peterson YOst, chief gun
ner's mate, United States navy, has
received letter commencing him for
the excellent work of the armed guard
Of which he was in charge on a cargo
ship attacked by a submarine. The
promptness with which the submarine
was picked up and fired upon and the
accuracy of aim proved the efficiency
of the gun crew. Yost enlisted in the
navy at Philadelphia, Pa, October 8,
1907, and gave as his next of kin his
father, Albert John Yost, Centerville,
r. I. Here is a characteristic report
from this gunner: "Night and fog
when a sub was sighted, port bow.
Ship started to swing when enemy
crossed port bow, giving the appear
ance of craft from 200 to 300 feet.
Showed one gun astern. We fred
three shots, one striking coming tower
and exploding, while the third shot,
fired as the sub got broad off the ships
beam, hit abaft coming tower. Crew
of sub taken by surprise, as there were
no return shots. We fired still an
other shot while sub was going under,
striking near coming tower. Firing
was heard following this attack from
a distance, it being learned later that
another ship had been attacked and
sunk"

ENGLISH oNE-MAN C0LuERY
Unique Industry Is Matched by Rail-

One-man businesses i are many IN
these days of depleted STATS, but a
working coal mine, controlled, SUPER

Individual is something of a novelty,
says London Answers. .-. :'.rE
This one-man colliery is found at
Hether Heage. Ambergate. The own

day to secure an output Of 1000 tons
of coal year. The mine is small, and
the produce near the surface, while
the coal is smut-used hitherto in the
manufacture Of backing, but thought
Of greater value in war time.
The other side of the Atlantic can,
however, match us in one-man indus
tries. There; on the Idaho Southern
system, is found road run solely by
one man.
The track was once a portion Of an
irrigation system, long since abandon
ed; and high-powered motor car with
Hanged wheels has been built to run
along the rails. It carries 16 passen-
gers. and in the two light trailers go
the freight and luggage. This quaint

yet it has a printed time table of it's
own, and runs it's trains strictly on
time. .~-,~:+.

1t Isn't FooIproof.

Crowds. who had gathered to wit
ness an intercollegiate boat race on
the Housatonic river in Connecticut
recently also saw young man and
woman drowned by the overturning
Of canoe which had ventured into
the wash of fast motorboat.
The canoe is an invention of our
first families-the American Indians.
It is absolutely unrivaled for trav-
ersing inland waterways, where shall
low water may be met or portages
required. For lack of such a native
contrivance many large rivers in
South America remain unexplored to
this day. Portaging waterlogged
"dugout" weighing 1000 pounds or
more is apt to discourage any party
not having a Roosevelt at it's head.
Yes, the canoe is the first great
American invention. But it can never
be made foo1proof.-Rochester Times.

There was a very popular girl there,

Study Conducted by United States De

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
The average life Of a farm tractor
is from ~ to 8 years, according to es-
Inmates furnished by over 600 expert
enced tractor owners on representative
corn-belt farms in Illinois. This is
brought out in a study conducted in
1917 and the spring Of 1918 by the
United States department Of agricul-
ture, report of which is published in
Farmers Bulletin 963. The reports of
the tractor owners show that the out
fits are used on an average Of As days
per year.
While at first glance this may ap-
pear low, when it is remembered that
on farms where horses do all the work
they are used on an average of only
about 100 days annually, it will be seen
that where both horses and tractor are

used, even though the number Of
horses is somewhat reduced, the ma
chine need not be expected to have
employment for as many days annual
ly as did the horses. The horses kept
will do some of the work, which will,
Of course, decrease the amount to be
done by the tractor. A considerable
percentage of the 100 days. work done
by horses represents odd jobs for
which the tractor cannot be used to
advantage. Even if the machine were
to do all the work formerly done by
the horses, it would not normally be
employed 100 days per year, inasmuch
as it does the work more rapidly.
It should be borne in mind, says the
bulletin, that practically all farm op-
erations must be carried on within linn
tied periods, and that between these
seasons there will often be no field
work which the tractor can Go, either
on the home farm or for neighbors.
The fact that weather and soil condi-
tons are such as to permit field work
with a tractor does not necessarily
mean that there is such work to be
done. Farm management plays an i'm
portant part in organizing the farm
so as to provide profitable employment
for the tractor during as many days
as possible. Such organization in
wolves the planning of crop rotation
which will furnish a large amount of
work which it can do, the elimination
of as many horses as desirable, and
the distribution of the work over a
long period. However, the rotation
should include only such crops as can
be grown profitably in that particular
section.
The significance of the fact that a
large percentage of the Illinois farm
ers who reported enlarged their farms
after buying tractors is readily appar-
ent when the tractors place in farm
management is thus considered. OBJ
viously these men have learned through
experience that much more land per
man can be handled when a tractor is
used than with horses only, and that
to get the most out Of their invest:
ment they must farm land enough to
keep their tractors busy at profitable
work throughout as much as possible
Of the available working season.
