Mouton Announces
for Governorship

The third gubernatorial aspirant
formally cast his hat in the ring and
announced his candidacy Saturday.
Lieutenant Governor Fernand
MQuton, farmer, business man and
editor, of Lafayette, is in the race.
He replied to the invitation of the
Third District legislators, who sent
him call during the 1918 General
Assembly, and said yes" He had
promised them an answer later.
In statement issued from his
quarters in the Cosmopolitan Satur-
day night, prior to his departure for
home, Lieutenant Governor Mouton
said this announcement was due his
friends who had urged him to be-
come candidate, although he had
no intention of launching a state
campaign at this time. The Victory
Loan, reconstruction war work and
other vital matters still confronting
the state precluded the injection of
politics at this time, in his opinion.
He also wished to give returning sol
diers opportunity to become settled
and have a say in state affairs.
The Democratic primary election
for the nomination will be held in
January, 1920. Colonel Frank P.
Stubs of Monroe was the first to
enter, and Senator E. NJ. Stafford,
president pro tenn of the State Sem
ate, and the only legislator from Or
leans to vote tdry" at Baton Rouge,
came out one week later. An in
term Of several weeks has elapsed.
All agreed it was too early to start
a campaign.

for the woman, too, but do you
know what / would do if | were

l would get her a job-no. /

would get her a plain, everyday

downtown, and I would let her
fret and worry and work and be
scolded and be held responsible
for some one else's mistakes, and
have to sit and listen with a smile
Of sympathy to some one else's
troubles for a while.
And l believe that if she had
any sense at all she would be very
glad indeed to be "cooped up" in
peace and leisure and comfort for

to me home, peace, comfort, quiet
and understanding.

7 THINK that every public school
should have a class in ele-
L mentary astronomy. 1t ought
not to be possible for any in
telIigent person with a common
school education TO be ignorant Of
the simple facts about the causes
of day and night, Of the changes
Of the seasons, etc.
The only time to impart this
knowledge is when the recipient is
in the first school grades, before
the commercial and so-called
practical" instinct has been
awakened, for after that not one
in a hundred will remember what
he is told about the motions OF
the heavenly bodies or pay any
serious attention to such things,
because he will have begun to see
that they belong to the class OF
facts that have no money in them.

There are only two periods IN
life when the mind is stirred by
astronomy-youth and age-but
the seeds planted in youth alone
will grow. can teach the pre-
cession of the equinoxes to a ten
vear-old, but not to a ftfty-year-
old.
TO return to the particular as
Economical fact asked for: The
earth is farther from the sun by
about 5000 900 miles at the begin
ming of July than at the beginning
Of January. ''B" is therefore right
although his statement that the
earth docs not get the direct rays
of the sun in winter" is not ex-
actly the correct way to explain
the fact that the northern hemi-
sphere has the coolest weather
when the earth is nearest to the
sun.
That fact is mainly due to the
relatively small elevation OF the
sun in the sky during our winter
months. Ut should not be forgot
ten that our winter months are
the summer months of the southern
hemisphere The rays Of the sun
come Just as direct" in winter as
in summer, but they strike our
part of the earth at very diff
ferent angle.
Take this year, for instance. On
January l the distance of the sun
from the earth was about 81 ,340,-
900 miles; on March 1t was about
92,900,00 miles, and on July it
was about 94,456,00 miles. The
increase Of distance between jan
uary and July will be about 3,115,-
900 miles, and yet In spite OF that
