Forty-six years ago, Howard, then

the edge Of the northwestern frontier.
He recalled the fact that it was
General Crooks command which was
ordered TO join With the forces under
the command of General Custer in a
combined and united effort to inhict
a final defeat upon the Indians. Be-
fore the juncture could be completed

forces of General Crook We're still

OLD TIME SUPERsTITIONS

4 reader furnishes lis with list
Of old superstitions which were part
Of our folk lore in this part of the
country before we had TO have folk
lore societies to preserve this sort
Of thing.
A rooster growing at the front door
meant visitor coming.
\ twig catching a young lady
dress meant beau.
An itching ear meant that some
one was talking about you.
To turn back after starting meant
bad luck.
Opening an umbrella in the house
meant bad luck to the house.
A measuring worm on woman's
frock meant new dress.
An itching left hand meant that
you would marry soon.
An itching right hand meant that
YOU would shake hands with a
stranger.
Seeing the new moon over the left
shoulder meant one would soon get
money.
Probably most of us are supersti-
tfous about the number IS. just as
neonle were a long time ago. Our
own superstitions will amuse a sub
sequent generation, as those recalled
by our reader amuse us. Only sub
seuuent generation can safely laugh
at superstitions. Socrates was put to
death for laughing at some of the
Of the Greeks. Let us,
then, laugh at these and take the
of our own time as Sc
riously as you please-tS. Louis Post

GOPHER POISON KILLS
THE BIRDS OF THE STATE

State Game Warden Jake DeHart
is omnhatic in the declaration that
the sopher poison used and adver-
tised for use by the county farm
agents of the state is killing off the
game birds and other birds in Mon
tana. The controversy has become
general throughout the country Ow-
inc to the efforts being made to rid
the farms OF sophers.
The Saturday Evening Post carried
an article by Emerson Hough some
time ago saying that game and song
birds were being killed in this state
with the gopher poison as used by
the farmers At that time w. B.
Harrison, president OF the Montana
Farm bureau, took issue with Mr..
Housh and has asked for proof of
Hough's statements.

NEW OIL REFINERY FOR THE
CAPITAL CITY.

Baton Rouge will soon have
another oil refinery to be operated
! by the Constantine interests of
Oklahoma according to reports
current in that city.
A short distance north Of the
Standard Oil Refinery lies a tract
Of something over four hundred
acres of land belonging to the
Riverview Farms Company who
are the owners of the Darling
Lumber Company now occupying
the site. This tract has been
leased to e. Constantine Of Okla
homa. who owns large oil interests
in the proven fields. The lease is
for. five years giving the oil inter-
ests the right to purchase at the
end Of that period for over $780,
10000.
The Aluminium plant is to be 10.
Gated on part of the Riverview
farm which it purchased short
time ago.
The extension of new car line
up through the Standard Oil
Plant and serving the proposed
plants of these two new industries
is now necessary to keep up with
the growth of our Capital City.
The question will undoubtedly
come up at the next session of the
General Assembly of extending
the City of Baton Rouge limits to
embrace the surrounding territory
which takes in these industries
and several new additions extend

SUGAR NEWS.

Louisiana as one of the great
est. if not the greatest, sugar re.
fning center in the world, is a
very probable development Of the
reasonably near future. The in
clination of the Louisiana factory
owners to get into the Cuban and
other foreign raw sugar refining
business which manifested itself
SO strongly last month has grown
more and more universal every
week. While this section and the
territory served by the Louisiana
boneblack plants, have been
starving for sugar the big Chat
mette and the other refineries,
and, in fact, even the local dealers,
have been finding it extremely diff
ficult to obtain any granulated or
even clarified sugars worth speak
ing about. Some very good white
granulated sugar made as we
make plantation granulated in
Louisiana at our best plants, has
been received from Nicaragua,
Honduras and Guatemala. which
contribute in some degree to our
necessities here in New Orleans
and the Southland. The ship
ments from Nicaragua are said to
be Of the best foreign graduated
that has yet been imported at
New Orleans. Representatives OF
the Louisiana sugar factories are
known to be now in Central Amer
lea and even the Peruvian sugar
industry may be called upon to
come across with its quota. The
striking manner in which the
Louisiana dealers who heretofore
were very local in their sugar ope-
rations. handling only their own
products, have gone out into the
whole Western sugar world toll
help feed the people of America
is tribute to both their patriotism
and their business initiative.
The foreign raw sugars corr
signed to the Louisiana sugar
houses have not been arriving as
fast as wanted. Some Louisiana
plantation plants that were to get
started on foreign test sugar IN
January have not yet been able to
begin work. Laurel Grove, in La

WE LIVE BY LOVING.

"1s thy cruise of comfort failing
Rise and share it with a friend.
And through all the years Oh
famine
1t shall serve thee to the end;
Love divine will fill thy storehouse
Or thy handful still renew;
Scanty fare for one will often
Make a royal feast for two.
For the heart grows rich in giving,
All IFS wealth is living grain;
Seeds which mildew in the garner
Scattered, fill with gold the plain
Is thy burden hard and heavy?
Do thv steps drag YEARLY?
Help to lift thy brothers. burden,
God will bear both it and thee.
Lost and weary on the mountain
Whul6st thou sleep amidst the
snow?
Chafe that frozen form beside thee
And together both shall glow.
Art thou wounded in LIES battle !?
Many stricken round thee moan;
Give to them thy precious ointment
And that balm shall heal thine
own.
Is thy heart well left empty
None but God its vol can fill.
Nothing but a ceaseless fountain
Can its ceaseless longings still.
Is thy heart a living power?
Self-entwined its strength sinks
low;
1t can only live by loving,
And by serving love will grow.
