THE MENTAL SCIENCE CLASS

That the gain acquired out Of the
study of mental science depends en-
tirely on the study and application Of
the student, as we'll as upon hls pre-
paratory adaptability to the teaching.
was the conclusion deduced at last
Sundays meeting. All advance made
in mechanical contrivances, means Of
communication, and transportation, as
well as in all practicable sciences dur
ing the last century, .dawned at first
in human consciousness in shadowy
appearance as a prospective possible
lty. And as Schopenhauer stated it,
our business is to fix in permanent
thought form, definite knowledge,
what at first appears in faint, uncer-
tain outlines" Those possibilities
have been potentially present in ma
ture through all the eternities. but the
objective human mind had to discern
them, become conscious of them, as
we'll as of the means to utilize them for
human requirements, before mankind
have benefited by them in any way.
Electricity may do the work, but hui
man ingenuity had first to discern the
characteristics Of electricity and to
contrive the mechanism to handle it
safely and to utilize it. Every change
in human institutions and environ
ments are preceded by a change in
mental beliefs and knowledge and en-
otional states, as well as the develop
ment of the mechanical skill TO con-
struct them. The difference in the
building Of wigwam BY the Indian
or shack or log house by the hardy
pioneer, and the erection Of a palace
or sky-scraper in a modern city by a
great architect, originates in the diff

MEET STATE EXPERT

spread for all and was thoroughly en-
joyed as a feature of Rosepine's CO.
Operative effort.
After lunch many visitors were
shown through the sweet potato house,
where Mr.. Hull, state sweet potato ex-
pert. was able to explain the process
of curing, ventilation. heating, etc.
In the high school auditorium the
assembly listened to more talks on or
tganization, better farming, etc.
MI. Hull dwelt on the idea Of stick
ing together and living up to agree
ments. finishing his talk with a defin-
ition of knocker and booster as de-
fined by CaIifornians.
Dr.. Perkins, Of the Extension Divis-
ion Of the State University, dwelt at
length on the value of Iand-buiIding
through crop rotation. He strongly
emphasized the point Of farmers rails
ing their own living first. Examples
were given of real hardships being ex-
perienced where the one-crop system
was in effect, as cotton, rice, or cane.
He also strongly urged the farmers to
quit feeding scrub stock. The same
amount of feed fed to good stock will
produce much more profit. DR.. Per-.
kins showed that the average produc-
ton of cotton in the state was less than
one-quarter bale to the acre. lFigur-
ing a mans time in cultivating, pick
ing, and marketing a years cotton
crop on this basis, he said farmer
received &c per hour, or Zoe per day
for his trouble.
Following DR.. Perkins was Commits
sioner Harry D. Wilson of the State
Department. Wilson possesses a fund
of humor and repartee worthy Of an
Irishman. and in his own witty/style,
he urged the farmer to use common
sense and good judgment in/his farm
work. Telling Of a Vey6on Parish
farmer who claimed the Best COW be-
cause she walked SIX miles day to
give him pint of milk, and explain
ing that, to tell whether a Vernon Par
ish hog is ready to kill Or not, is to
lift him by his ears and if the front end
goes down he is not ready, but if the
other end goes down he is fat, Wilson
urged strongly for better stock. Clos
ing his remarks Harry urged thorough
organization and cooperation in buy
ing and marketing.
Other speakers spoke along similar
lines. all urging the necessity of farm
ers making agreements and living up
to them.
During the afternoon. the Home De-
monstration Agents of Vernon and
Parishes. Misses lie Fevre
and Heard, assisted by special agents
from Baton Rouge. entertained the la
dies of the meeting with demonstra-
tions of dress making.
SpeeialbulIe have been prepared
by the State Agricultural Department
showing the progress made by Louisi-
ana farmers, which can be had by the
asking from Commissioner Wilson.
A nice bunch of farmers were on
hand. as well as business men from
DeRidder and group of the Llano
Colony. all interested in the further
ance of agriculture and the protection

PICTURES AT THE THEATER

Our orchestra opened our show last
Sunday with some extra fine music,
which was highly appreciated by the
large audience. Three educational
reels, furnished by the u. S. Dept. OF
Agriculture, were thrown on the can
yass. THE Charge of the Tick Bri-
gade," was first displayed, and gave
some startling details of the heavy
loss inflicted by this pest upon the
cattle men of this section. The gov
ernment proposes to help stamping out
this plague and everyone interested
ought to do all he can that every an
imal afflicted is dipped and freed from
these parasites.
The second film gave a striking pic
tire of Control Of Hog Cholera. .
The dissection Of suspected hog was
shown and the evidences of the disease
in variou organs pointed out. Filth,
quarters. and bad food
were declared chiefly responsible for
the sickness. Anti Cholera Serum
and proper care were pointed out as
the only safeguards against the
The carcasses of such dead
hogs should be burned and the prem
ises disinfected.

BRICKS ARE AGAIN SHOT
OUT AT A FAST RATE

The Colony brick plant began again
to snort this week. and bricks began
to spurt out from the hungry monster s
mouth at an alarming rate.
Last year. several thousand bricks
were made by hand and burned, prov
ing the quality and conditions Of the
clay bed to be favorable for brickmak-
ing. The machinery was purchased
and installed to make the industry a
staple one, and 10 reduce the amount
of hand labor necessary.
Orders have al various times been
received, and carload was shipped
north. 1t is expected that there will
be ready market for this product.

that's getting an education, for he is
In school four hours each day-and the
best of it all is, he likes it. The bak-
cry is working at high speed and so is
the butcher shop. Thomas and Yer
non are cleaning hogs nearly every
day, making lard and smoking ham
and bacon. Ma Thomas and Rose Bel
ohradsky have the store so full Of
goods, there is hardly room for GUS
toners; and since people have found
out that we are carrying a larger stock
of goods with right prices, business is
getting better every day. Go to it. Ma,
we will get more clerks when you call
for them. A large attendance was had
tonight at the psychological meeting,
and many important and interesting
subjects were discussed. IF you old
timers could only attend these, meet
ings, you would be surprised to find
no arguments or fault-finding. Our
psychological meetings have changed
mutual attitude of all of us. You can
not cooperate and pull apart at the
same time, and to cooperate is what
we are here for. and we are doing so
in complete way.
Friday, Jan. 2l-Caron and Robert
son made the Luddington trip, even
if Lizzie" did fight little on the
way. Land clearing is going on as US
ual and Haynes and Morrissey are
still making saw logs. The saw mill
crew started up the planning mill ma
chinery and run out stock enough to
cover the sweet potato crates for the
car load we intend to ship to Idaho.
The teams are all busy hauling wood
except Heym's, and Harry with his
mules are making a graded road to the
saw mill and brick factory. Baldwin
is like squirrel-he is storing feed
away out at the dairy just as if winter
wasn't over. (of course the squirrel

herd is sure in fine shape, Comrade

The last reel brought fine illus
tration of the Grazing Industry on
National Forest Reserve. . Cattle,
horses and sheep were shown, and the
whole was very realistic and furnished
a good idea of the sections Of country
where these reserves are located.
These pictures furnished a fine ev-
enings entertainment and in addition
a liberal education on the subjects pre-
sented.

ABOUT IRELAND

1t seems that England has trouble
some youngster on her hands.
Ireland is determined to have home
rule, and England keeps slapping her
in the face. The United States is
looking on with mouth open, tax
ing it all in; but, according to the
Cheyenne State Leader" Uncle Sam
should stay out of the Irish mix-up.

JUDGE FRANK B. GARY

The Court of General Sessions has
made good progress the present week.
The machinery of the court has been
in constant operation under the guild
ance of Judge Frank B. Gary, who
dispatches business as well as any
circuit judge in the state, and whose
conduct of the court justly receives
the commentator of citizens wher-
ever he presides. Judge Gary, with
the assistance of the officers of the
court, has almost completely cleared
the docket of the criminal court in
this county. The work which has
been done justifes the position of
the Press and Banner taken sometime
ago that the June Term Of the court
should be held and that pending
cases should be tried. -.
