Offers to Loan Funds.

A caller yesterday afternoon was Mr..
"A. I. Kahn, active vicepresident Of the
Commercial National Bank, of Shreve-
port. Mr.. Kahn left copy for change
in his advertisement, and requested us
to state to those residents OF the parish
who have sustained losses because OF
the failure Of the Plain Dealing Bank
that his bank stands ready to help them
in the way OF advancing loans. Mr..
Kahn can well afford to make such
statement. The Commercial National
Bank is bulwark Of strength. We do
not know Of a more firmly established
banking institution in the South. Its
present cslpital stock Is 100000, four
fifths OF which is earned Its net earn
ings since the date Of Its organization
thirty-fiye years ago total more than
81, 256, coo.
We learned from Mr.. Kahn that
national hank cannot establish branch
hanks, and that state bank may do
so only In the parish In which 1t is
located.

From Modern FarMing.l
For the first time in the history of
this state, the farmer, who represents
the real welfare Of Louisiana, Is re-
ceiving the attention to which he is
entitled, and the minds of the whole
state are turned to what can be accom-
plished on the nearly 1000 acres Of
splendid land, representing both hill
and bottom land, and lying only two
miles south of Baton Rouge.
This college will be constructed with
out costing dollar to any Of our tax
payers. out of the funds derived en-
tirely FROM the Severance License, and
should be the finest agricultural college
in the South and one of the finest in
the country.
No more important adjunct to this
institution can be created than mag
nificent chemical laboratory, which will
enable every farmer. without cost, to
have chemical analysis made Of his
soil and advise what particular fertil-
izer or natural ingredient is necessary
to materially improve the yield Of his
product. Expert research work should
he one of the great aims Of this labora-
tory in an effort to eliminate insect
pests of every character. and be where
boys will learn soil chemistry, carbon
chemistry and petroleum engineering.
What reflection ON our foresight
that Louisiana, which Is in the largest
gas-producing field In the world. has
not single gas expert. and although
the second state in the Union In oil
production, has not a single petroleum
engineer, or any one familiar with that
product of the vast riches Of our state.
Time and space will prevent the
elaboration of the vast possibilities
certain to accrue from intelligent utili-
zation Of our natural resources and the
gathering for the benefit OF the farmers
and the people Of the state Of reason

selves from natures products, which
once destroyed can never be restored.

variety of soil known In Louisiana

nobility Of all work, but the rea

II we can add only a bushel to the

when we consider such broad area

in few years after 1t is In operation
the people of the state will realize that
this great institution is not an expense
but the best investment ever made in
it's history.
No politics should be permitted, di-
rectly OF indirectly, to enter into its
work or the selection of those who will
serve ths future generations of Louis
lana. and when thousands of splendid
young men all over the country will re-
alize that they can come to this insti-
tuition, york their way through with
out expense to their parents and get
an education second to none In the
United States on what will be the
finest college grounds in the country,
equipped along common sense plans,
built for all time, and to be Of real
service, Il means new Louisiana with
better men and infinitely wider vision.

. Save the Hogs.

From Modern Fdrming.1
There is a terrific annual loss Of
hogs by disease All of this loss may
not be pfeyentable the major portion
Is due to cholera and may be checked,
almost wholly. by the proper treatment
with antihog cholera serum.
Serum is not cure for cholera !:
there is no known cure for an animal
which has cholera sufficiently advanced
to show visible appearances Of sickness.
Sometimes, when serum alone Is adj
ministered to hogs in the very early
stages of cholera it will check the dis
ease and act about the same as the
simultaneous application of both virus
and serum. But this is too big risk.
Any swine owner whose animals are
kept anywhere near other herds. and
especially when there have been cholera
outbreaks In the vicinity, should use
serum AZ preventive. The time to
use the serum Is while the hogs are in
perfect health, and by its use immunize
them against the disease.
There are two methods OF guarding
against cllolera-th use OF serum alone
when quick action is desired and when
only temporary imnlunization IS de-
sired. and the simultaneous use OF hoth
serum and virus sor permanent immu-
nizati0n The latter method is adyisa-
BILE only when cholera has already oc-
Cured in the herd or its immediate
vicinity. and once started must be per-
severed in. We suggest that the deter
mination Of which method Is best
adapted to any specific case be left to
decision after consultation with q COM
petent veterinarian. the parish agent,
or by correspondence with the Livestock
Sanitary Board.
But immunizati0n against cholera
is an economical practice. 1t must not
be postponed too long The man who
uses this treatment at the proper time
is the man who is on the safe side.

ally devoted to American oil paintings
and two smaller galleries. The eXhlbl-
ton Is strictly limited to water colors !;

excluded. IT includes the most noted
American artists OF the recent past in
the given medium and many OF the most
distinguished living men. Among the
former are Winslow Homer, Alden Weir.
La Fargo, Crowinshield, and Mary
Rogers.
Among the living artists is naturally

many years the owner Of one OF the

hibition at the gallery OF the Berlin

be an ineatiable worker and an Unsuitable

as Montmartro and tho Latin Quarter
still hold for the artist.
y Nature means q good o5al 10 her, but
not all. She must have the Ballet Russo

But lady who even looks at the door
OF tho Bal Butler looks nt the cotton
field that she aftervard paints with a de-
gree OF condescension. Mr.. Drummer, who
has written an exceedingly facilc intro
