THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
JOB"

TINE connection between Job,
i the Biblical persOnifica.
ton Of patience, and the word
"job" commonly applied to a
piece Of work, Is cleverly worked
out by Southey in his book
"rhe Doctor"
"A Job in the working or op-
erative sense is evidently some.
thing which 1t requires patience
to perform, In the physical or
moral sense, as when, for ex.
ample, in the language Of the
vulgar, a personal hurt or mis-.
fortune Is called a bad job It
Is something which requires pa
tieDce on the part of the public
to endure-and In all these
senses the word may be traced
to Job, who Is the proverbial ex-
elhplar Of this virtue"
Sheridan, whose definitions
are always as amusing as they
are direct. states that when
ever any emolument, profit, sal
airy or honor Is conferred on any
person not deserving it, that is
a Job" From which It would
appear that it Is not the Job.

Something to
Think About
THE JOB AND THE MAN
ByF. A. Walker
BYE. A. Walker
IIANGlNG in the Offices of one of
i / the hest known business men III


this country is this motto:
you cannot get out of man what
God Almighty did not put into him.
You must suit the man to the job
not the job to the man.
Perhaps there is a simpler and
more direct way of putting it than
that. Perhaps you can do it better, If
you can, there is a job waiting for
you in the office Of the men who first
wrote it because he is a man always
on the hunt for writer's who can say
things with punch.
There are a good many young men
who try to succeed In lines for which
they are not at all fitted.
Ambitious parents often insist upon
mapping out the life work of their
children when they would do a much
more kindly thing to let tie boys and
girls follow their own inclinations.
A tree that Is bent Is never so good
as a tree that grows according to ma.
ture.
Thousands Of excellent carpenters
have been spoiled In the making OF
poor doctors and the world is worse
off for the experiments.
Almost every child shows an In
clination toward some special thing
It enjoys work Of a particular kline
when other efforts are drudgery.
The wise parent will seek to flnt
out what that inclination is and Offer
every aid to the highest endeavor.
A child's mind Is not essentially
different from the mind OF grown
up. Both offer resistance to doine
what is unpleasant and irksome.
More than that Municipalities ar
Just as distinct and different eacl
from the other as one kind Of mattel
differs from another.
They have different uses and differ
ent applications.
To attempt to drive nail with ,
sponge would be just as fruitless, i
not as destructive, as to try to wasl
q window with hammer.
To try to make boy who loves me
chanics and wants to study mach!n
cry into a professor Of Greek is t,
misapply his talents and diminish hi
efficiency.
Every child should be studied.
There Is no greater and no NOR

way in following their inclination
as to what they shall be and do.
Remember that you cannot get on
Of a boy or a man what God Almight
did not put into him.

proved Cultivatabe Lands Held
BY Land Owners for Specu.
Iative Purposes.

Donalds0nville, La -- Ways and
means to bring about the taxation on
fair and reasonable basis Of unim'
proved cultivable lands held for spec.
ulative purposes should receive the
attention of the Constitutional converl-
ton, in the opinion of c. c. Weber,
delegate to the convention from Ascen'
sion parish.
Mr.. Weber believes this is one OF
the most important questions that will
come before the convention. II tax
alton system is devised whereby spec
ulative land owners Of this type will
be forced to either improve the land
or sell it to home builders, he thinks
It will bring about an era OF develop
ment in the State. His idea is to tax
unimprOved cultivable lands on ratio
to that of the same class Of improved
tultlvable lands.
There are thousands Of acres Of
unimproved cultivable lands in this
State" Mr.. Weber said, that are be-
ing held by land owners for specula-
tive purposes. Much of this land is
not for sale, and that which is for
sale Is held at exhorbitant prices. An
nually when the assessments are re-
viewed the owners appear either in
person or by counsel and plead for low
assessments on the ground that their
land Is unimproved and is not pro-
ducing anything. Almost invariably
they have been able to get off with a
small assessment, which means low
taxes.
"Often these lands adjoin farms that
are among the best in the State. The
adjoining farms are assessed to their
full value because the land is in a
high state Of cultivation through the
thrift and energy of the farmers who
own them.
"The unimproved and is just as rich
In soil rs that which is in cultivation.
II improved and placed in cultivation
It would produce crops as bountifully
40 the adjacent farms. The owners
are making no improvements and are
holding It for speculative purposes
only. The more farms that are placed
In cultivation adjacent to these large
tracts just more valuable they become,
"This has brought about a situation
Whereof the home.builder and the
home.0wner is penalized. He is forced
to pay taxes on high valuation be-
cause he has done something for him.
self and his State, while the specu-
lat0r gets off with a small tax bill.
Il am in favor Of going after these
land.hogs by the taxation route. Tax.
alton Of such lands should be on
ratio to the same class Of lands in
cultivation. Then the land-hogs would
be compelled to do one Of two things
Improve their property so as to make
1t productive, or sell 1t.
III they improve the land, they
would be placed on the same footing
with owners Of adjacent cultivated
Land. II they decided to sell It rather
than improve it or pay the increased
taxes, the land would pass into the
hands Of homaseekers and hometown.
ers. That would bring prosperity and
development to the State. for if these
valuable tracts Of lands are thrown on
the market 1t will attract thousands
of homeseekers from other parts Of
the country.
