 RESPONSIBLE
 FOR GREAT WAR
(By Associated Press)

DENVER, June 15. President Samuel Gompers, addressing the con- yention, of the American Federation of Labor yesterday, placed the blame for the greatest cataclysm of modern times-the recent war-squarely on the shoulders of German organized labor
 "If German labor had taken the situation we'll in hand it might have meant the destruction of few thousand men, but would have stopped the war" Gompers said. Failure of the men to act in such a time of crisis is faithlessness to the common cause"
 Gompers said German organized labor could have prevented the World war had "it taken the situa- tion in hand instead of showing faithlessness to the common cause" He added: Wisdom did not pre- vail at the peace table, but it is not difficult to understand the desire to penalize Germany" ..
 The federation adopted resolu- ton against "tfe' htolerable and un. American conditions in Mingo coun- ty, West Virginia, where 5000 miners are resisting lockout by the operat- ors because of their membership in the United Mine Workers Union" The resolution asks the senate to order an investigation.

What Christianity is Worth.

New Orleans Christian Advocate
In this day when so many solutions
are being proposed for the problems Of
the world and so many remedies sug-
gested for its ills, many of which pro-
fessedly leave the Christian religion
out of account, it might be well for
those who are disposed to try these
schemes, plans, and programs, to pause
long enough to ask the simple question,
:. What is Christianity worth anyway"
and seek to find it's answer before they
turn aside from the only force that has
yet demonstrated its ability to bring
order out of chaos. And that they may
not be put to overmuch toll in finding
that answer, let them imagine, il they
can, what the world to-day would be
If God had not sent his Son into it to
save those who might believe in him
and il millions of people had not exer-
-cised the faith that made them .'new
creatures in Christ Jesus" The world
is bad enough, we grant; but Christ
ianity is the only thing that has made
it fit to live in at all. And we have an
invincible faith that the Kingdom of
God is c6ning upon earth.

Some Good Road News.

From Mansfield Enterprise of Oct. 2Oth.l
After much delay, the legislature
has at last got the good road and sew
erance tax bill on the way to final pas
sage. The plan proposed by ex-Gover-
nor Sanders has been laid on the shelf,
and the bill first proposed by Senator
Bowling of this parish, has been ten
lively accepted by the committee, and
1t will probably be passed without ma
terial change. Instead Of one good
road commissioner for the state, there
will be three, all appointed by the gov
ernor for two, four and six terms, and
Ex-Governor Sanders will doubtless
head this commission Of three. The
law also writes fifty-nine routes into
the road system, which will be the first
roads built by the state.
All the hard surfaced roads built by
the parishes, will be taken over by the
state at their general cost, less deteria.
ton.
While we are unable to decide which
scheme was the best, yet either will
operate satisfactorily IL the commits
sloners are good men. Louisiana will
have an immense road fund and no
state should have better road system
than we have. We extend our congrat-
ulations to Senator Bowling for his
splendid services ip this particular.

this lovely young lady was held by her
many friends and loved ones.
Her earthly life began April II. 1906,
at Marksville, La, and although the
deceased spent only last year in Benton
attending school, she won many dear
friends among the older and younger
residents of the town while here.

Big Demand for Honey.
Z. 8. U. Press Bulletin.l


There are thousands of persons in
Louisiana who are willing to pay
reasonable price for honey and prefer
it to any other kind of sweets for hot
cakes, etc. Why can't they have it?
Why don't the producers Of honey adj
vertise their product by putting it up
in attractive bottles, jars and tins?
An enormous crop of delicious honey
has been made in the state this season,
and most of tits still in the hands Of
the producers. according to E. G. Davis,
specialists in bee culture, State Univer-
sity Extension Division.
During the war;" says Mr.. Davis,
honey advanced like other things to
price most prohibitive, but at the
present time, like some other products,
it has reached low level, and the mid
die man is reaping the harvest, while
the consumer is still buying close to
war prices. Now is the time to make
honey the most popular of all sweets.
Let the people who want it most know
that you have it and then make price
that will make it interesting. Honey
is the only natural predigested food,
anG may be eaten by the most delicate
child
Go to the fairs which are now in
progress all over the state and note the
style and sizes of containers. The
most popular sizes for family use are
the quart jar, ten pound cans, and FIVE
gallon cans. Don't use barrels for your
honey, for that is more than a family
can use and then you are at the mercy
of the middle man. The difference in
advance of price of honey put up in
cans, other than in barrels, will more
than pay for the container.
The honey in glass should be made
as attractive as possible. The lighter
colors Of honey are the most popular
for extracted and also for chunk
honey packages, which are neatly cut
pieces of comb placed in jars and ex-
tracted honey filed in around it.
Try the above methods Of market
ing your honey crop, put the price
| within reach of-all and see how soon
it will disappear
