1T ISN'T YOUR TOWN
IT'S YOU!

If you want to live in the kind OF
town
Like the kind of a town you like,
You needn't slip your clothes in
grip
And start on a long, long hike.
You'll only find what you left be-
hind,
For there's nothing that's really
new,
It'g a knock at yourself when you
knock your town.
1t isn't your town-it's YOU!
Real towns are not made by men
afraid
Lest somebody else gets ahead.
When everyone works and nobody
shirks,
You can raise town from the dead
And if, while you make your personal
stake
Your neighbor can make one too
Your town will be what you want TO
see,
II isn't your town-it's YOU!

Dampier, though an admirable 90

was ignorant of discipline and quite
unused to command. For that reason
he had many alterations with those

him in preparing to depart, on other
voyages to the West Indies.

WILLIAM DAMPIER

One of the most adventurous OF the
Recommendations of England in the
later part of the seventeenth century
was William Dampier, who, as buch-
aneer, pirate, captain of the navy and
photographer, had one of the most
eventful careers of anyone whoever
sailed the seas. His parents, VINO
were very poor, died when Dampier
was quite young, and he, being com
PEELED to shift for himself, went first
to sea in charge of Weymouth trad
er. The hardships of the voyage toNew
foundland disguised him and he re-
turned home. Sea life, holding a
strong fascination for him and the
Dutch war of 1872 having broken out,
he at once engaged in the royal navy
and was present in a number of hard
fought engagements.
The first important voyage of Dam
pier was when he engaged to ship on

sAslLE NEWS NOTES

Basile, La, March pa large num-
Der of farmers and business men met
here to take some steps toward crop
ersification-away from the here
tofore crop monarch, rice. Last
spring when the local bank advocated
growing other crops than rice, it was
met with the argument that enough
rice could be grown on one acre to buy
all the vegetables, pork, corn, milk,
butter, chickens and eggs the family
needed, hence little of these things
were produced. Now the farmers see
the error of their ways, and it is easy
to talk diversification.
Three measures. were decided upon:

of letting it lay out and rest" as the

duce much more rice next year than
if it had laid out.
