Need for Eternal Vigilance.

eve first make our habits and ther
our habits make US" said an unknown
sage. In other words, what we are
ut this moment, what we can do at this
moment, depends not only upon max
Ing up our minds at the time being
but also upon how we have made ur
our minds countless other times In
thousands of minutes already gone by
and now out Of our control. The one
thing we cannot control is the past
1t may, however. control us for good
or for evil The fact that we should
remember Informing habits is that our
minds and hearts are the meeting
ground of strange conflicts; that good
and bad in us are making opposite
suggestions; that each is striving for
the mastery; and that sometimes we
are so self-deluded that the bad may
seem TO be the good. At any hour the
beginnings Of vicious habit, perhaps
through the suggestion Of someone
else or by our own carelessness, indif-
ference, or faults, may find their way
into our hearts. The price we must
pay for. continually proving and pos
sessing, the good is eternal vigilance.

FAMILY COW RANKS
WITH FAMILY GARDEN

II you have garden to supply the
table with fresh vegetables, a back
yard flock of chickens to furnish mea;
and eggs, why not go step further
as a food producer and keep a fam
lily COW? AS vegetables, eggs and
poultry, meat can, as rule, be pro
duced more economically at home
where conditions are favorable than
they can be bought, so can milk and
butter with all the by-products made
from them. Vegetables fresh from
the home garden taste better than
those that are bought, fried chickens
are better when the fowls come from
the backyard flock, and milk produc.
ed by the family COW is in the same
class, say the dairy specialists of the
Extension Division, Louisiana site

MIST CONCENTRATE TO WIN
~ - re-, xYfsFtion NAV Be
Though Thorough Absorpt
Carried Too Far, It Is Necss rs
to Success.

There is always danger, when any.
one concentrates, that the cOncentra-
ton viii be carried too far-so far
that 1t produces q narrow, one-sided
and warped point of view. The great
scientist, the great scholar, the great
thinker in any line is usually not an
all-arOund good fellow" Grabbed
queer" peculiar" odd" funny
and "warped"-are these not the adj
jectives that generally describe the
geniuses of the world? The very eff
fort to concentrate on the one sub
ject which has brought success has
made 1t impossible to keep in touch
with the thousand-and-on currents of
thought and topics of conversation
which go to make up comfortable and
easy-going life. Like the old sea cap
tain, these geniuses miss something in
their effort to fix their attention on
one thing.
In spite of this danger, it is good
thing to work for concentration. The
likelihood Of becoming one-sided is big
where genius is concerned, but then
1t can be excused. Most of US can
safely concentrate our attention and
still feel sure that we will keep in
touch with the world about us.

LAzINEss ACTING AS SPUR
Good Work Done by Those Who Dis.
like 1t, and Want to Get
Through and Rest

The best work Is done by the lazy
people who want to get through and

The industrious, active body, busy
Is bee, and always at it, Is very H.
able to become a putterer.
Mark Twain called attention to the
fact that the ant, to whom the sage
recommended the sluggard to 60
spends most of his energy In running
around like a drunken Indian.
The great humorist hated to move
he used to give the boy in the print
Ing office nickel to sweep around
him, so that he would not have to take
his feet off the table. At seventy he
confessed that "alI exercise is loath-
some."-
Laziness is not good in itself; but
when Joined to conscientiousness and
sense of responsibility, as 1t often
Is, 1t Is the very best worker.
The worlds work is done by those
who do not like It, Nine persons out
Of ten would quit what they are do

At the very beginning Of Arnold

luminous bit Of philosophy:

Discouraged Aids to Beauty.

In the day of Louis XIV LaBruyere
wrote this: IF women only desire t.
be beautiful in each others eyes they
may, of course, follow their own ca
price or taste rs to the way in which
they dress and adorn themselves; but
X they desire to please men, II it is
to charm them they rouge and paint
! can assert, in the name of mankind
or at least of those men whose votes
have taken, that white and red paints
make women look old and hideous that
1t is as disgusting to see women with
paint on their faces as with false teeth
In their mouths and waxen balls to
PUN out their thin cheeks; and that far
from countenancing it, men solemnly
protest against all such arts, which in
falliblys tend to cure them of love-"
The wonder arises II LaBruyere
spokefonly for the men of his time.

Il take pleasure in extend

of the thousands of railroad

affected by the passage Of the

STAFFORD STRONG IN SIXTH

1t is pointed out as signifi-

SO strong why is it that such
influential papers in the par

gress have come out so
strong for Senator Stafford.
In st. Tammany the Slidel
Democrat, one Of the most
influential papers in that
thriving saw mill center has
editorially endorsed Senator
Stafford; in Tangipahoa The
HammondVindicator and the
Roseland Herald have done
likewise, while in Baton

rampant for the Orleans Sen
