CONSISTENCY
By Sarah G. Simnsnn.


Consistency is one of the fundamen-
tai qualities of discipline, and from nv
own experience have found it to be
most important. 1t should always be
accompanied by kindness. More moth
ers have trouble with their children
because of their own inconsistency
than for any other one reason.
Johnnie comes home from school
and asks, Mother, may | go over to
Billy Bakers to play2'', and Mother,
knowing that BilIy's influence is not
good, refuses. Johnnie displays more
or less temper, but Mother is firm.
and Johnnie stays at home. A few
days later, however Johnnie makes
the same request, and Mother, who is
entertaining caller, lets him 90 for
a little while. This is a case of incon-
sistencv. and, in order to save one
scene Mother is laying the foundation
for many more. The probability is that
had she replied, Mother has told YOU
before" the matter would rave ended
there, or even if he had cried little
and made a scene" the son would
have had valuable lesson and learned
that Mother meant what she said. His
love for the moment MIGHT have beer
shaken. but eventually Johnnie would
have been a happier boy and his love
and respect for his mother would have
been greater.
The value of consistency cannot he
over-estimated. The tiniest boby should
be dealt with kindly, but firmly A
mother cen develop the TEASING habit
in her child while he is still in his cra-
die if she lacks this quality of consist
ency. At one time when her baby cries
she does not nick him up for she says,
1t is not good for him and he is form
ing bad habits" But the next day
# she is nervous and unwilIirg to en-
dure his noise, she Yields "iust for
once" The result is that she gives in
70 her child more or less through his
later childhood.
Aga'n, with an older child, the moth
er will partially concedc, a sort of
compromise, and the child is keen e.

Twenty-three members Of the Col

judges of exhibits at the State Fair
to be held at Shreveport, October y

University has been the policy of the
State Fair since its organization IA
years ago. Living quarters on the
Fair Grounds are provided by the
management for the accommodation
of the University force. In addition to
furnishing men to judge exhibits and
superintend the different departments
of the Fair. the College Of Agriculture
makes extensive exhibits Of its own.
In fact, the parish exhibits, which are
usually in charge of the farm demon

SOLDIERS SHOULD NOT
LET INSURANCE LAPSE

Commenting that he does not believe
that soldiers received the compensa-
ton that they should have been given,
Mr.. ]. E. Jones Of Washington writes
that he believes they will be able to
make up this deficit to a large extent
through the war insurance policies
which were given them.
1T is the only chance | know Of
where they are positively sure Of re-
ceiving what is in effect extra compen-
sation from the Government; you
know that monthly rate of 65 to 20
cents per thousand Of insurance is so
good that you would like to be eligible
to get it yourself. The whole amount
of the policy is made payable, UNDER
stand. at the time of death instead of
in extended monthly payments as at
present.

about a good deal; lot Of them are

so many burdens that they have laps

investigate, that a great many Of the
boys from your own community have
let their policies lapse. Provision has
been made so they can restore these
policies. by paying the current month,
ard the one month following the Iaps-
ed payment (the period that the policy
was in force.)"
Citizens Of Vernon Parish should
work to influence the BOYS to retain
the insurance which is Issued at so
low a rate to them. 1t is unlikely that
such an opportunity viii be open
again. and the comraratively srraIl
amount necessary 70 keen the policy

THE H. c. OF L. AND
(By J. E. JOnes)

THE H. c. OF L. AND
FREIGHT RATES.
The recently expressed theory that
increased freight rates have played an
important part in advancing the cost
of living has been sharply answered by
Julius Kruttschnitt, President Of the
Southern Pacific Company, in a letter
to Representative John ]. Esch, Chair
man of the House Committee on In
terstate and foreign commerce.
Mr. Kruttschnitt has drawn up fig
ures based upon Bradstreet's reports
and the Interstate Commerce Commis-
sion's railway reports, which show the
total value on all goods, the In freight
charges per ton, and the relation of
these freight charges to the cost Of
the goods themselves.
The average value per ton of all
freight transported by the American
railways in 1914 was $50; in 1919 it
had risen to $ll9, an increase to the
consumer amounting to $63 a ton.
The freight charge per ton in 1914 was
81, and under the rate increases put IN
TO effect by the Director General of
Railroads these freight charges per ton
have increased 1929 since 1914. max
ing the 1919 average freight charge
81 80 per ton.
In other words. whereas in 1914
freight charges were $3.50 of the to-
tai value, they did not increase during
the ensuing five years nearly as fast
as did the value Of the goods them
selves, SO that the present percentage
is only 2.436.
Thus it is seen that, whereas the
freight transported has cost the con-
sumner S63 per ton more than in 1914,
the freight charges paid on It amount
to only 80 cents per ton more, or, 10
express it In more graphic terms, only
one and one-third cents out of every
dollar of increase in value of commod-
tiles was caused by increased freight
charges. The responsibility for the re-
naming 98.7 cents out Of everv dol
lar must be sought elsewhere; it was
not caused bv freight charges"
Figures published several months ago
showed clearly that the cost of living
had already increased enormously be-
fore there was any increase in freight
~ates. Comparison Of the Dun and
Bradstreet reports showed further that
when the freight rate increases were
granted the upward tendency in the
cost of living, instead of being increas-

BROOM STIFFENED WITH

figures, as well as the present figures
presented by AMir. AMir KSrattschaiittt, is not
to attempt TO prove that railway rates

and he should set about finding out
what was wrong, with a view to cor
recting this tendency, he would start
analyyzing al Of the factors entering IN
to his costs. If he should discover that
for every dollar Of increased expendi-
ture only l.3 cents was due to the in
creased transportation cost of his bus
iness, it is likely that he should spend
less time trying to correct that situa-
ton than he would in figuring how to

ing from other factors.
COLD STORAGE

teal regulation Of cold storage, and he
told his fellow Members of Congress
that he wanted the law so fixed that
when it said spring chicken On the

spring was referred to, whether it was
this spring or last spring"
Representative King of Illinois, told
the House that he believed that from
three to five per cent of the member
ship of Congress suffered constantly
from ptOmaine poisoning caused by
eating cold-storage food. "and if the
truth were known" he added 1T would
be found that the President of the Un-
tied States, on his long trip to the Pa
cific coast, was served with cold-stor-
age food. so that he is now suffering
from nothing else than ptomaine poi

of carloads of food that were held in

And so, Congress, weighing the ifs

decided in its favor, but is intent on
maintaining stiff rules and bylaws in
order that the thing may be done right.

his department has given much at

would eventually raise the standard
of efficiency in the mines resulting
in advantage to both employees and
employers.
