"LET US RALLY"

The thought has come to many of US
that perhaps we do not appreciate
the privilege of having paper pub
lished by woman Of our town and
for the women Of our State.
The "Woman's Enterprise is well
named and is certainly fulfilling every
expectation, but how long can it con-
tinue when so little support is given
The editor has announced many
times that it's columns are open anG
has invited every woman to contribute
and she has also requested the presi
dents Of our clubs to send in full
report of all activities. This paper
can so splendidly be used as our "lo
cal official organ" of club work, if W.
will only awaken and take advantag,
of this privilege.
We have in our midst women VIII,
are so thoroughly capable Of filling tn
columns of the "Woman's Enterprise
with reading matter that can we'll b.
classed as "good reading matter.
We urge that these we'll informe'

the day. Should we fail to support
this paper either by neglecting to sub
scribe or contribute to its columns, we
are doing ourselves and our communi-
ty an injustice. This idea Of wom-
ans paper has met with high fav-
or all over the State and many in
quiries made as to it's origin and sue
cess.
What we are about to allow to be.
come failure thru our lack of sup.
port may be adopted and carried sue
cessfully on by women in other towns
then, when it is too late we will re-
gret our Indifference.

education, then let it revert back to
the National Government and let
steps be taken to have the nation care
for it and make it a show spot OF
historic value the like Of which does
not exist on this continent. 1t is a
physical and psychological impossi-
bility, that the people Of the South,
that have always led this nation in
matters of patriotism, craftsmanship,
and pride in birth, breeding and his
toric prestige, should cede precedence
to the people of the North in matters
such as these, and l sincerely hope
that the blood of the Cavaliers that
made the Old South famous in story
and in song, will not permit its in
terest in historic matters to grow cold
and have its pride in its ancestry and
its hopes for posterity yield to the
Puritanic strain Of our Northern
brothers in matters essentially d.
rected to the upkeep of sentimental
ideas and the perpetuation of our his
toric traditions and places.

cataloguing Of the names OF historic
personages that have at some time or
other trod these grounds, would re-

Woman's Enterprise will secure the
valu> BILE collaboration Of Gen. John
McGrath to give tc the people of the
United States the 1ull account Of the

A COLLEGE FOR WOMEN.

The proposition advanced that the
Louisiana State University buildings
and grounds be devoted to the estab-
fishing of a woman's college when no
longer required for present purposes
is meeting with unanimity of senti-
ment through this community as we'll
as elsewhere. Sound reasons are ad-
vanced by the proponents of the prop
osition and none so far as we know
are adverse to the plan.
1t is not proposed that coeducation
be divorced from the Greater Agri-
cultural College but rather that the
Woman's College be under the same
management, a status not unlike that
existing between Tulane and Sophie
Newcomb.
Many thoughtful persons believe
that co-education does not give best
results, but whether this be a correct
view or not, a college especially fol-
young ladies is advocated both fol
practical and sentimental reasons.
Below we present the readers Of

DECREASE IN FARM
VALUE

Washington, d. C.,-The average
price of plow land per acre in this
country decreased about per cent
during the past year, according to the
department of agriculture The aver
age value per acre of this land was
$83,78 on March / of this year, as
compared to $90,91 in 1920 and $74,31
in 1919. Reduction in prices of crops
is responsible for the decrease, says
the department.
The heaviest drop is in the south
ern states, where cotton is the prin-
cipal crop In some sections Of these
states the decline is SO per cent.
Probably the greatest drop in one
state is in Kentucky, where tobacco
lands have dropped from $40 per acre
last year to $53 per acre this year
Western states show the least decline
and in California, Oregon and Colora-
do there is 4 SLIGHT increase. The re-
port shows q rapid increase in the
price Of land from 1917 to 1920, when
the highest price was reached. The
decline during the past year is not as
great as the increase from 1919 to
1920. Land prices are still higher
than any year preceding 1920.

WHY BRICK CHlMNEYS LEAN
nate Wetting and Drying to
Which They Are Subjected.

Between the wagon builder, alter
nately wetting and drying q board to
bend 1t TO the desired shape, and the
house chimney, groteSquely leaning to-
ward the east, brick masons say there
Is similarity. The leaning chimney is
subject on which even the doctors
disagree, bur the theory referred to
seems the most plausible.
Chimneys lean toward the east. A
little observation anywhere will prove
this. Even the best-built affair OF
brick and mortar, acquiring age, often
begins to lean. Various theories are
advanced, but the explanation Of al
ternate wetting and drying seems the
best
Chimney walls collect more or less
moisture during the night, on all sides
Now, If the broad side of the chimney
Is toward the east, and If the sun
strikes that part of the chimney first
that side dries out much quicker than
the north or south side, or the western
side. In time of rainfall, the east side
ordinarily Is dried the quickest. This
general condition has the effect OF
pulling the chimney toward the east.

'TIPPECAk0E AND TYLER, TOO
Election RaIIying Cry That Figured
In Election of William Henry
Harrison as President.

"Tippecanoe and Tyler, too" was
the rallying cry of the Wings in the
election of 1840 William Henry Har-
rison was the choice of the Wings
The Wings adopted no platform, and
the only issue was whether or not the
Jackson-Van Buren, machine" should
remain In power. Even among the
Democrats there was much discomfort.
To attract this discontented element,
the Wings nominated for vice president
John Tyler of Virginia who was
well-known anti-Jackson Democrat.
the United States had seen up to that
time. Harrison's election was attrib-
uted to his military record. The elec-
tion Is often called 1.-The log cabin and
hard cider campaign" One end of
Harrisons house at North Bend was
an old log cabin which had been COW
cred with clapboardS. A campaign
biography said that Harrison's table,
"instead OF being covered with excit-
ing wines, is well supplied with the
best cider" At first this simplicity re-
ceived jeering from the Democrats,
but the Wings seized the opportunity
TO make the democracy OF their candi-
date feature Of the canvass. Minia-
ture log cabins and barrels of hard
cider generally were In appearance
whenever Whig orator spoke. Har
rison received 234 electoral votes 70

LABOR LAW UPSET

Albany, N. Y. = Governor Miller
signed the Knight-Brady bill which
abolishes the state industrial commits
sion and empowers the governor to
create single commission with power
TO abolish, consolidate and reorganize
all existing bureaus or divisions in the
commission. Sweeping powers will be
given the new industrial commissioner
Organized labor protested against
this legislation which tears to pieces
the commission that was created in
1915. Advocates of the new legisla-
lation pleaded economy.
The sincerity of this claim is shown
in the statement that the salaries of
the new commissioner and his deputy
and three board members will amount
to $4,000 while the salaries of the
five members of the commission as
now constituted amount % $4,000

IRON MOLDERS
ENJOlNED
Charged With Attempting
To Intimidate"

Newark, n. J.-Vice Chancellor
Backus has issued an injunction
against members of iron Molders'
Union No. 40, who are on strike
against the Worthington pump works
because of wage cuts. The court was
told that the strikers are attempting
to intimidate" workers who have
taken their places. The injunction
commands the strikers to desist from
picketing and from interfering with
employees.
If the iron molders were rot trade
unionists and were not strikers, and
the company made this charge, the
chancellor would laugh the company
out of court when it asked for an in
junction to stop Intimidation" The
court would notify the company that
police statutes govern this case, and
that they should swear out warrant
and the accused would be given a
trial by jury.
This American. method is not sup
posed to operate, however, during
strike times, when workers have no
guarantees under the injunction pro
cess. The court is judge. jury and
executioner He issues his order and
commands the strikers to prove their
innocence, and can fine or Jail them
without being hampered by law, Gus
tom or constitutional guarantee.
Because trade unionists protest
against this inequity, they are charg-
ed with wanting special favors before
the yaw, when in truth they are only
asking that they be treated as any
other citizens who are accused of law
violation.
