FOUR IN TROUBLE
FOR SETTING
WOODS ON FIRE
~1orida Parishes Incensed Over
Careless Burnings BY
Citizens.

rovington. LAID Smith. of Fol
am has forty days in jail In which to
aod,tate on the forest fire laws of
ra,lsiana. on February l6 last, Ed
soIIherately set fire to a patch OF
songb woods through which he went
- york every day. On the testimony
. three citizens he was placed under
srroat by Conservation Agent Norman
I Core, Forest Ranger for the state
aanartment OF conservation, and upon
conviction before Judge Carter for get
,,ng fire on another's land was SEN
,onced to ten days in jail here, ten
dollars and the cost of court. In de,
,ault or cash payment he was given
an additional thirty days in jail.
Careless use OF matches in rough
woods and cut over lands il becoming
increasingly unpopular and costly In
a.. Tammany Parish. Joseph X. VII.
son, residing temporarily near this
Mace. carelesBly allowed fire to escape
while he was burning fire line around
HE fence. and endangered his neigh.
bors. On their evidence he was held
in fail under $500 bond for four weeks.
and was released only at his own re
ouest that he be allowed to leave the
parish for good. Manuel f. Smith. OF
Abita Springs, was also charged by
Ranger Core with setting fire In cut
over land, nearly causing the loss of d
neighbours house. The neighbor de
cided not to testify against him, and
Smith was released from Jail. In
fourth case twelve-year.old boy was
found by the authorities to have set
.lre to several roughs Just for fun.
His fun came to an end when, upon
the Rangers complaint to his father
parent and boy had an interview In
the well-known woodshed.
Few Louisians know that any owner
OF land which has been burned over by
another may recover In damages from
the person responsible for the fire the
cost Of artificial re-planting of young
trees, sapling, or seedlings which thu
fire may have destroyed. As the cost
Of planting an acre OF young fores
trees Ia about ; 10, careless or il
territorial fireing of woods and eui
over lands will become a costly bus
ness In Louisina when this law
better known.

OUR IMPROVED WAY.

The prevalence of divorces in
civilized countries is becom-
ing a peril to the morality Of the
Caucasian race.
In certain savage country a
woman goes and lives with a man
year or two con trial. +" If
both are satisfied they then are
married according to the regular
tribal custom. If they are not
satisfied with each other, they go
their separate ways and try
again with other mates.
In civilization" it is slightly
different. They go to a minister
and have few words said over
their bowed heads. Then they,
too, try it out. If not satisfied,
they go to a judge, tell few
narrowing stories, possibly few
lies, and are legally authorized to
go out and try again with other
mates.
Very simple, isn't it? Not so
much difference between civil
zation and savagery, is there?
We look down upon and pity the
poor savage in his ignorance and
superstition. We contribute large
sums that he may become "civi-
LIKED" and in line for our own
particular line of debauchery. In
our superior bigotry we chronicle
the shortcomings of inferior rae
es, unmindful of the fact that
morality in some of those corln-
tries is far In advance of our own.
Without doubt there are occas-
ions upon which divorce is pre-
ferable from a moral standpoint
to longer living together. But
unquestionably a large percent
age Of divorces are granted upon
flimsy excuses and perjured test
imony. If the party at fault in
such an action were forbidden to
ever marry again we might have
fewer divorces and greater
number of reasonably contented
homes.
If people could be brought to
realize that the remedy is some
times worse than the disease they
might be induced to see a bright
er light and make the best of a
bad bargain.

KEEP A-WORKIN,.

No matter how much of i
chestnut story may be, it is al
ways new to the person who
hears it for the first time.
1t is even so when we advocate
faith in, loyalty to, and the
building up of the home commun-
ity. We have written and preach
ed until the subject has almost
become a chestnut, yet in every
new effort of our pen there is a
sentence somewhere that strikes
a sympathetic chord in the heart
Of some person. No effort for
local betterment is entirely i'll
vain.
We live in this town because
we believe in it. We believe in
it because it is good town, re-
gardless of its few defects, and
its people are the peers of those
to be found anywhere. This town
may not have the wealth of some
more favored community, but it
has character, and character is
possession which cannot be pur-
chased with gold. If you believe
in your home town you will like
it, and if you like it nc effort to-
ward its improvement will be too
great for you.
Again we ask you who have
faith in your own powers to also
have faith in your own town.
When you feel like criticising it,
check the thought before it is
spoken You can always find
something good to say instead,
and even then the half Of the
truth will never be told. 1t is a
good town now, but faith, loyal
ty and united action will make
it a better one. Our faith in this
town, brother, is simply faith in
you, because the town is a collec-
ton Of yous. Surely your faith is
not less than ours.
1t is your home and ours

Life is getting slow again, "
remarked leading citizen as he
laid aside his morning paper.
Perhaps it is. Yet in the last
twenty-four hours he has travel
ed two million miles. Some
jaunt, that, even for one who is
accustomed to hitting the pace.
But Of course, he travelled along
with the earth, and never gave a
thought to the speed at which he
was tearing through space. We
seldom more than half think
when we do any thinking at all.
