"What are the final tests of a Scout,
Before the world you must try her
out;
Does she do her good turn every day?
Does she live the Scouts laws all the
way?
Does she stick to her job, and see it
through?
Is she helpful, %reverent, clean and
true?
Will she stand by her friends through
thick and thin?
Is she sterling silver, or only tin?
"Does she live like a Scout, so all
may see
What a Scout of America ought to
be?
These are the tests a Scout goes
through,
She must pass them all, or she's not
true blue.
Khaki and badges don't make you a
scout,
Living the law does, so live it out.
Don't be veneer stuck on with glue.
Be solid mahogany all the way
through"

FIRST STATE BANK
REFLECTS PARISH PROGRESS

That a million-dollar bank is not
built in a day, may at once be set
down as truism. Also is may be in
ferred that a million-dollar bank in
Vernon Parish is not doing its million
dollar business without having behind
it something very substantial. That
Vernon Parish has two banks, both
with branches in other towns than
Lee5ville, the Parish seat, is evidence
of even greater resources.
In this issue in another column is an
announcement of the First State Bank,
wherein it is claimed that the bank is
so strong in its reserve fund that it has
never met any emergency which neces-
STATED its borrowing penny to meet
the emergency, nor re-discounted any
paper, either. This is strong evidence
Of the stableness of the people of the
Parish.
On April 9th. this year, the condl-
ton of the bank showed that deposits
of over $l,l5O.OOO.0O were placed in
its charge, which not only shows con-
fidence in the bank. but the resource
fulness of its cashier, G. N. Richard
son, who has piIoted the bank to its
present enviable condition.

GREED is OBSTACLE
TO HYGIENIC LIVING

Most valuable mineral salts and Wit
amines are contained in the hull and
chit Of the wheat, and these are rejec-
ted by the white flour milling process,
and the people are deprived of most
essential food elements.
To make whole wheat flour for gen
eraI consumption would dispense with
the present milling machinery and cut
deeply into the profits of the milling
trust, because whole wheat flour does
not keep as we'll as the emasculated
white flour, and would have to be
ground near at home and in smaller
quantities as needed. But certainly the
health of the people deserves more
consideration than the profit-making
by plutocratic companies?
Iron, in the only form that cur sys-
tenn can assimilate, is contained in car
rots, spinach, and raisins. Cabbage is
rich in sulphur. Onions, raw Or cook
ed, are called a boon to the system.
Buttermilk is a splendid intestinal
cleaner. In the long run. it pays to
feed folks properly. When they feel
out of sorts, show loss of appetite,
feed them up on tomatoes. 1t will e.
Intimate billiousness and brighten your
boarders up. A noted stomach spe-
cialist gives his patients. suffering from
constipation and bilIiousness, every
morning, half lemon squeezed into Z
cup of hot water and a pinch of salt
added to it. No sugar, please. 1t does
the work.

Let Us Be Friends.
By CARL GLEESER

Being comparatively newcomers in
this section of Louisiana, it is quite
natural that old settlers in Vernon Par
ish should feel some curiosity as to the
character and motives of the people
who have arrived among them and will
be close neighbors and fellow citizens.
During the few short years that we
have lived and worked on our new To-
cation our doings have been in every
respect an open book. Our activities
have been carried on in the broad open
light Of day, and abundant opportunity
has at all time been extended to any
one seeking information, to visit US
at our plantation, look us over, and
get first hand knowledge with refer
ence to our personnel and aims. Our
latchstring has always been hanging
out, all our business is open and above
board, we have nothing to hide. and
no Interior motive in view that could
in any way detrimentally affect the
wellbeing of anyone in the Parish or
elsewhere.
We are all law-abiding American
citizens, and during the late world war
our members did their full duty by this
country. In the workshops, on the
farms, and wherever else duty called.
We bought liberty bonds and war saw
ings stamps; some of our members
were across the Atlantic on the firing
line in France and returned home Grip
pied.
We believe in cooperation, the prac-
teal application of the golden rule,
and with this object in view are incor-
porated and have legally bought and
paid for a large arceage of land down
here, and have contracted for the pur-
chase of many thousand acres more
adjoining it.
We frankly confess to the belief thai
the political affairs of this country
ought to be carried on in manner tc
better subserve the best interests Of
each and all of the people and thai
no special privilege should be grantee
to or be enjoyed by anyone, which
privilege might function to the detri
ment of anybody else. And we fur
thermore believe that provisions o.
the United States constitution, if reli
giously sustained and observed anc
respected, are entirely adequate tt
bring about a peaceful readjustmen
of political and economic conditions
and serve the whole people in the en-

The Shame of IdIeness.

ING even one thing that will leave our
names in the worlds history. We let
the other fellow do our bit, and re-
ceive the honor, while we idle away
the prime of life. The period of kings
has passed; the period OF capitalism
will have to pass, for the power of
service is the only power that can do
inmate when man shall love his nel-
ghbor as his brother and the lamb
shall lie down with the lion."
Every man and every insect, every
pine and every blade of grass, was put
upon the earth for a definite purpose,
and each has definite duty to per-
form. The plant that does not do its
duty is smothered by its neighbor; the
animal that does not do its duty fin
allv becomes extinct; but the man
who does not do his duty is honored,
and the world takes his orders. | am
not speaking of the man who does his
duty, but of the man who wears the
seat Of his trousers out before he does
the knees; the man who gives orders
and exploits the working man of his
bread; the man who renders no SER
vice to humanity, but takes all he can
get and boards it for his own individ-
ual hoggish self; the man who is a
traitor to his race.

A genuine democratic condition Of
affairs among a people is not matter
of guesswork, and cannot be brought
about by those who are ignorant of
the principles involved and the ways
to make them effective in action. Pos
tive knowledge alone is equal to the
task and is absolutely indispensable to
its adjudication. The present morass
of politics, consisting of ignorant guess
work and perfidious misinformation
has brought the world to a condition
of obstructed industry, involuntary i'd
leness, and bitter want that is ominous
with dark portents of coming domestic
disturbance. In the face of these SER
iousIy strained relations between en-
ployes and employers, sober second
thought would suggest that an invoice
should be taken of resources availa-
Bile, and ascertain if the justified de-
mands of an honorable livelihood for
all workers can be met, even if the
unsuitable greed of certain elements
must be disregarded. Productive In
dustry must be intended for use. and
distribution should be so adjusted that
the necessities Of every human being
are fully provided for and his capaciti-
es of service be utilized for the bene-
fit of his fellows. Such an achieve
ment is to-day quite within human
power and knowledge. We only have
to remove the obstructive factors thai
have come down to us from our saw.
age ancestry.
A square deal all aronud is what
genuine democracy demands. 1t re-
cognizes no privileges. knows nothing
of vested rights. 1t knows the require
ments of sane human living and aim
TO make possible the happiness of ont
and all.

Idleness is the mother of trouble.
When a child is idle, is becomes mis-
chievous; it acquires bad habits: and
the longer it is idle the more unruly it
grows. The same is true with man;
the same is true with nation; and the
same is true with the world. ldleness
forms a corner stone of the prison, IS
the root of many riots, and a spoke
in the wheels of progress. Though a
mans hands are idle, his mind is con-
tinually at work; and when he pro-
vides nothing for it to work upon, it
becomes lazy and eventually goes
back to state of barbarism. A man
mind and hands work comparatively;
so when the subconscious mind-that
part of the mind that rules our con-
sciences left to dwell upon savage
subjects, the hands carry out the work
and the individual becomes a scoun-
drel. Hence we see that idleness is a
source of inharmonious subjects, and
through it, millions of men the world
over are hindering the worlds civiliz.
alton. Nevertheless, civilization is
gradually moving up the mountain Of
advancement, pushed by the motor
power of service. and when it reaches
the far-off summit, the man who was
a member of the army Of ildeness will
/ then be a member of the army of
strife.
| No power on earth can prevent the
human mind from progressing when
the individual has the will power and
| the determination; but mouse can
lead it into the deepest dungeon when
| it has no will power, no determination,
and is idle.
As has been stated. the mind is new
er idle. 1t is continually developing
or retrograding; and it is left to each
of us to be its master or to be its SER
vant-and what great percentage OF
us take the latter position! We sit on
the threshold of the most progressive
time the world has ever known and lei
the days pass by without accomplish.

HAVE ALL WRONG
WAYS BEEN TRIED?

Thomas Carlyle, the British author,
made the statement that there are a.
bout a billion and half of people in
this world, mostly fools; and they new
er try to do anything right till they
have tried every possible way Of doing
it wrong"
The Bible says: There is a way
that seemeth right to man, but the end
thereof is death"
The main facts Of psychology reveal
ed by laboratory experiments. attest
that the human will, when being ex-
ercised, is the whole complex organ
igation of the permanent self set a.
gainst an alien intruding impulse And
human character is moulded to social
customs and relations through recur-
rent stimuli and inhibition, modified
by reason. The state of consciousness
a people are in will determine their
action and the reaction experienced by
them. A true report of the popular
psychology of a given period would
supply us with the key to genuine I'M
Outstanding of that period; for pop
ular psychology is the source of all dy-
manic history.
And just in the same way the psy-
Geological condition CT any one per-
son will explain the conduct of that
person. If that conduct is wrong from
the impartial viewpoint Of modern
knowledge, fighting, wrangling, or
combative argument will never disclose
to him the error Of his ways; only
through friendly approach, and by adj
ding to his knowledge, can his psychol-
ogy and consequently his conduct be
modified.
The wilIrof man was up for discus
sion at the psychological meeting last
Thursday night, and it was shown that
man has no absolute freedom Of will;
but yet, within certain limits, we have
liberty of choice to give our attention
to one thing or another. The results
depend on where we place our
thoughts. The subject and object Of
our thinking moulds our character, d.
reefs our life, and determines our des-
tiny.
The vast range of knowledge which
we have now obtained in a hundred
| different specialized fields of inquiry
has equipped us with a comprehensive
network of facts, each fact in harmony
with every other; that modern man, if
he will but take advantage of all this
experimenting the world has wrought,
may learn from the generic, instead of
from the specific, viewpoint. In other
words, instead Of guessing, he may
come to an accurate knowledge of all
special phenomena by simply co-ordin-
ating their factors and comparing
them with related phenomena in other
fields of inquiry, under which concep-
ton, the toilsome righteousness of the
guessing method is displaced by an ac-
tual knowledge of the natural law in
volved.
The natural law of human associa.
ton is mutual good will, and out of the
creative spirit of this love must be born
the effort that will remove the obsta.
cles that exclude the majority of the

In the year 1886, for the first time
in its history, the United States gov
eminent found itself out of debt and
with a comfortable surplus in its trea-

of credit-accounting, all debts could
be wiped out in this country for all
