KEEP SMILING.

Everyone knows that busi-
ness conditions in the United
States are not very good. But
that is not surprising, consider
ing that the rest Of the world
is in a far worse condition.
Business depression has fol-
lowed every war in history, and
il has generally been in proper
ton to the conflict.
As long as we have enough to
eat and wear and a comfortable
place to sleep we should not
complain, at least for the pres
ent. That is far preferable to
wholesale hunger and starva-
ton, which is stalking abroad in
other countries.
Some may feel that we are
playing in hard luck. But we
are not. We are fortunate in
stead.
There is plenty OF money in
this country-more than ever
before in our history. II is only
a question of time when this
vast wealth will begin to creep
into general circulation again,
and then the wheels will spin as
of yore.
Keep smiling, brother, keep
smiling.
There is no cause for tears.

Louisiana has the largest crop
of sweet potatoes in its history:
according to Mr.. Hull. 1t will
be Is percent greater than last
year and 100 percent above the
average of the last five years.
The Southern sweet potato.
especially the Porto Rican yam.
is considered far superior to the
nieally potato of the northern
states and can win the markets
if properly advertised. The first
cooperative step of the sweet
potato industry undoubtedly has
been taken on the highway that
leads to enlarged and stable
markets.

SWEET POTATO PEOPLE OR.
CAME TO ADVERTISE.

Convinced that an industry
can attain the greatest prosper
ity only through cooperative ef-
fort and national advertising,
farmers have organized the
Southern Sweet Potato Ex-
change, with headquarters in
Chicago. and through it will
market their 1921 crop and con-
duct a campaign to develop new
markets by teaching the merits
Of their product.
M. Hull, sweet potato spec
ialist, Extension Division, Lou
isiana State University, has been
instrumental in the organizing
of the sweet potato growers.
Mr.. Hull has visited the offices
of the Associated Rice Mixers
of America several times for The
purpose Of studying advertising
methods, and he is convinced
that the rice millers are Oh the
right track. In fact, he states
that the potato people will use
a similar educational plan, for
their problem is the same. TIE
law per capita consumption of
sweet potatoes is due to the fact
that housewives have not been
educated as to their excellent
qualities.

The Lafourche Comet tells of
a farmer in that parish who has
discovered that garlic mixed in
among the corn when thrown in
the crib will keep the weevils
out. We feel inclined to advise
our farmers to give it a trial, for
it occurs to us that most any self
respecting wcevir would prefer
starvation to keeping company
with garlic.

Prior to Prohibition it was
argued by the proponents of
this law that the Volstead Act
would curtail the expenses of
this Government. Has it done
so? No, on the contrary the ex-
penses of the Government have
increased by leaps and bounds
and the poor tax payer is called
upon to bear the burden. Some
of the best citizens Of this coun-

Volstead Act, and among the
most daring violators Of this

THE FARMER DIES LAST.

w. J. Bryan recently uttered
these words that ought to be
read bysevery citizen as well as
by every farmer. His subject
was. 1.-THE Farmer Dies Last"
Mr.. Bryan said: I'm the
fight to the death the farmer
will die last. If big business
thinks it can bleed him without
limit, it had better consider his
resources. When it comes to
the pinch he can stand squeez-
ing better than any other class.
Food is the first necessity, and
he can feed himself. He can
raise all that he and his family
need, but if he raises no more
than he needs the rest of the
people will starve. The farm
er's surplus supplies the world
suppose the surplus fails?
The farmer can raise the ma
terial necessary to clothe HIM
self and family--wool, cotton
and silk, but if he raises no
more the rest of the people will
90 naked. II is the farmers
surplus material that clothes the
world. suppose the surplus
fails?
1.-THE farmer can, if neces-
sary, produce his own fuel. He
can raise his own wood; he can
burn corn cobs and even corn if
he must, but what will become
|of the railroads when the farm
'er neither sells or buys?
''What will become of the
packers when they have no
meat to pack? And what will
become Of the grain gamblers
when there is no market grain
to gamble on? What will be-
come Of the little stores when
the farmers cease to trade? And
what will wholesalers do when
the little stores close? And what
will the manufacturers do when
the wholesalers 60 out Of busi-
mess? And what will the clerks
lin the stores, the workers in the
mills and the railroad employees
do when business stops? And
what will the banks do when
business stops? And what will

grow rich lending the peoples
money? What will the people
do when nobody needs them?

CAREY GIVES HIS VIEWS ON
PROHIBITION.

New Iberia. Aug. 3Oth. 1921.
Editor Enterprise:
| have been noticing lately the
different views of Louisiana
Legislators on the question OF
Prohibition, and what is hoped
by some to be enacted at the
coming session of the Legisla-
ture. If my memory serves me
right, the people of our Great
Old State very recently, by an
overwhelming vote, passed upon
the question of Prohibition at
the last Senatorial election. Is
the voice of the people to be
brushed aside for the fanitical
ambition of a few paid hirelings
of Wayne B. Wheeling, J. w.
Turner and other cohorts? Arc
the laws of the State Of Louisi-
ana to be gummed up with such
legislation? Is the peoples
money to be wasted at this spe-
cial session in an endeavor to
push and ram down the threats
Of the people that which they.
by their only method of de-
fence, their vote) would not
stand for? II is very strange to
any fair-minded individual to
understand how the strong arm
of the Twenty Five Thousand
Dollar beauty Wayne B.

reach down from Washington
TO Baton Rouge, and say Ito

then he will turn to his hand
