When, week after week, we receive
baskets full of publicity matter from
Swift, Armour & Company, automo-
bill concerns, tire factories, etc, to say
nothing of the horde of news" items
mailed us by the various candidates
for political office, from President of
the United States down to "dog catch
err" and all asking gratis publication,
we are constrained to think that truly
these people must believe newspaper
publishers to be "blocmin' idiots. well
maybe most of us are, but, there are
others. We note that all this matter
is printed on paper which we are quite
sure, was not gratutiously presented
to them for paper is "higher than a
cats back" The publicity is enclosed
in envelopes, most of which bear
printed return cards, and this costs
money. The stamp thereon, we wager,
was not presented to them by Uncle
Samuel. Somebody was paid for mail
ing out this dope" The newspaper
publisher is expected to be the dupe of
them all. Not much, at this shop.
All advertisers look alike to The Her
| aid. One rate, which we consider a
fair one and which we must charge,
to live, is quoted to all. This gratis
stuff goes into the waste basket. We
note that a few publishers CD who
are too lazy to write copy" use some
of this canned" variety but it doesn't {
get past many, and none of the live
ones. Costs of producing newspaper
have scared skyward Publishers can
scarcely pay printers at the rate of $50
to $45 per week, with other expenses
in proportion and get by when charg-
ing and collecting for advertising at
the regular and legitimate rates. They
certainly could not do so were they the
dupes of the space grafters.

for their splendid musical numbers.
Prof. A. p. Owen, principal Of the
grade school, gave brief talk to
the class and patrons and introduced
the speaker Of the evening.
Altogether the exercises were es-
pecially good and those who failed

THE FAIRY MOON

The fairy moon is abroad tonight
And; under her silver thrall
All things have changed for her mag
ic light,
Has sweetened the face Of all.
AS we drift and drift. on this wooded
cove
Where the long tree shadows Turk
Above, above on her throne above,
She sits at her weaving work.
The cove is placed from shore to
shore.
And, seen through the screen of
trees,
The rocks are castles, and rocks no
more,
The woods are mysteries.
Come tell me thoughts that are in
your mind,
And why in the world you sighedl
For a feather will show the way
O. the wind,
And straw the set O. the tide.

the live stock, the feed is returned to
the soil in the form of manure. which
means that the crops are marketed
through improved breeds Of cattle.
hogs and sheep, and the lands made
more fertile each year.
Among the many facts learned by
the boys that day were that the Uni
versity farm has produced as an aver
age crop for eleven years sixty-five
bushels of corn, forty-two bushels Of
wheat and forty-five bushels Of oats
per acre. The boys were very much
interested in the man who took NOV
ing pictures Of the party, cattle, and
scenery throughout the trip and the
county agent has made arrangement
to have several reels to show in every
section of the parish.
From Champaign the party went to
Chicago where we first visited the
packing plant of Armour & Co., we
were accompanied by guide who ex-
planned everything as we went
through the plant-23, 900 hogs, 49,
900 cattle and 10000 sheep are
brought daily. The plant slaughter
1000 sheep 300 cattle and 1000 hogs
an hour. 1t takes exactly sixteen
minutes from the time the hog is
caught by hook, bled, passed through
a vat, through an automatic scraps,
cut, and ready for the cans. The party
was shown where cattle coming from
the tick infested areas Of the South
were placed in quarantine pens and
sold for immediate slaughter at prices
lower than those paid for cattle Of
equal quality coming from areas free
from ticks. This was sufficient proof
to the boys that the cattle tick must
be eradicted from Louisiana. From
the plant we marched to the Armour
CAFETERIA where the boys helped them
selves to dinner at the expense Of Ar
mour & Co. Mr.. White, vice president
of the company told the boys, after
dinner that they would be allowed a
second helping and the vast majority
awaited itself of the opportunity Of
getting a second and third dish Of
ice cream. After a few welcome ad-
dressed Superintendent T. H. Harris
and Prof. J. B. Aycock, Of Eunice, re-
sponded in behalf of the party.

Our Farm Boys Tour
Of the Middle West

The boys who went on the Louisi-
ana Farm Boys Tour of the Middle
West, from st. Landry parish, were
sent BY the police jury, chool board,
six Of the banks, business men and
private individuals, however, the,
bulk Of the funds were subscribed by
the opelousas people The boys were
selected by lot from list Of mans
given by the contributors, the Super
intendent Of education and county
agent, most of these boys were en-
gagged in club work and therefore d.
rectly interested in agriculture. From
the fourteen representatives from st.
Landry nine of the boys expenses were
betrayed by public funds while the
other four took care Of their own ex-
penses.
The boys arrived in Baton Rouge on
the morning of the End, full Of pep
about the trip and the things they
hoped to see. They marched up to the
barracks about breakfast time where
they enjoyed the meal la caftera
style. From BREAKFAST the boys as
sembIed at Garlic hall, they we're in
structed on the system of the Illonois
Central railroad, the Universities OF
nlonois, Wisconsin and iowa, talk
on agriculture by Prof w. r. Dodson,
an address by Gov. John M. Parker
then came Prof. Stopher with his
yells and songs to keep the boys in
good spirit and we all agree now that
Prof. Stopher is a good one for in a
short time, might say few minute,
all the boys kenw every yell and song
given out by Mr.. Stopher.
We were fortunate in having at the
head of this tour one Of the greatest,
If not the greatest, man Of the state
Mr.. Harris, state superintendent OF
education, who saw proper to divide
the party into companies, Of about
ten in number, this plan worked tc
great advantage in that it divided the
responsibility among ten men, more
attention being given to individuals
and as a result more taught to tbs
boys.
At eleven o'clock Tuesday the party
accompanied by the short course boys
and girls who went down to the tran
to see US off, marched to the Unior
station and boarded the nlonois Cen
trail special or the Louisiana Farm

sped merrily on its way that afternoon
and night and arrived in Champaign
the next morning where we were met
