Leave It at Home.

New Orleans Christian AdrOcdte.]
Some people seem to think that Wis
it away from home is simply an added
opportunity to pour into the ears Of
people their criticisms of the church
and all things that are. and to knock"
all the institutions and agencies that
have ever been established for the bet
terment of mankind. 1t is not hard, we
admit, to find some fault with the PER-
sonnel and organization of every move
ment under the sun, and the temp
tation is sometimes very great to point
out the bad and overlook the good but
the good is worth so much more than
the bad that we can usually well
afford to praise and not condemn. We
believe, of course, in constructive criti-
cism, but we have scant patience with
those who make it their chief business
in life to find fault with everybody and
everything. Pessimists may have real
function to perform, but it is like that
of ants, spiders and other pestifer0us
insects-hard to discover. II you are
going away on q trip, leave your ham=
mer" at home-witll the hope that 1t
may be lost before YOU get back.

Clerk was read and regretfully ac-

patient at sanitarium in that city for
some time Mrs. Eatman has improved

Louisiana Gas for Louisiana.

Departmental reader.
Some days ago Commissioner Alex
ander of the Department of Conser-
vation, was in Baton Rouge in con-
ference with Gov. Parker on the mat
ter of conservation. The question
Immediately under discussion was
the situation pertaining to the use Of
natural gas in the State and broad
er distribution of this product to the
people. Gov. Parker since his inaug-
uration has put forth every effort to
interest capital in the building Of
pipe lines to distribute the natural
gas from the Monroe fields to New
Orleans and other points. With this
in view, by his direction the Depart.
ment of Conservation made a thor
ough survey of the situation, and it
was clearly demonstrated that the
plan was entirely feasible and practi-
cal to pipe gas to New Orleans at a
cost which would justify the building
of the line.
Both the Governor and the Commits
sioner are now much concerned over
the published statements recently thai
= combination was being formed by
capitalists with large holdings III the
Monroe gas fields with the avowed pur-
pose Of taking gas from that field TO
Texas points, leaving the distrif ution
at New Orleans and other cities Of
Louisiana entirely out of the question"
Commissioner Alexander declares it
will lie the policy of his department to
fight any movements to distribute gas
outside of Louisiana from Louisiana
fields unless the interests of the State
and the cities therin are first con
sidered

and those who handle these furs il

ments. Under the terms of the Lacy
act, law regulating interstate ship,
ments of birds and mammals and
parts thereof, postnlas:ers and ex.
press agents are required to mako
certain that every package of fur des.
tined to points outside the State Of
Louisiana has attached an official
conservation tag, as provided by the
rules and regulations OF the Depart
ment Of Conservation.
These tags are printed in red, and
are issued either by the Department
of Conservation to the trappers ship
ping their own catch or to resident
dealers, or are issued by the licensed
nonresident dealers to Louisiana
trappers shipping their own catch on
consignment to these dealers. Tags
issued by nonresident dealers carry
the name of the dealer that issues
them, but otherwise are identical with
the tags issued directly by the De-
partment OF Conservation.
Fur shipped within the State must
have attached tags for that purpose.
Such tags are. printed in black.
Any postmaster or express agent who
wishes, for the convenience of the trap
pers of his neighborhood, to issue tags
as shipments are made, can do so by Sc
curing these tags from the Conservation
Department, making returns to the de
partment of the sums collected from
the trappers. under the terms Of the
severance tax law, and accounting for
each tag issued to him, and not used
by trappers.

Cattle and the Tick.

From the Shreveport CaNcdsidn.l
During the recent largely attended
and successful State Fair at Shreve-
port a letter signed by bankers. bust
ness men and other visitors from all
over the state was addressed to Gov
ernor Parker. urging him to renewal
of the efforts to rid Louisiana of the
cattle tick.
The livestock display at the fair was
the most notable in its history. and it
was the fine exhibit of Louisiana pas
ture-raised cattle that prompted the
letter to His Excellency Those who
saw the exhibit were forcibly i'm
pressed with the possibilities of cattle
development in the state.
A chain, however. is no stronger
than it's weakest link. Such develop
ment can only come when the state is
rated 100 Ter cent free of the tick As
long as any areas are permitted to re-
main tick-infested. the cattle raising
industry in the non-infested sections
will continue more or less hazardous
from the ever-present danger of the
spread of the tick.

Forestry Movement Grows.
Departmental reader.l

Departmental reader.l
The contract entered into by the
Department Of Conservation and the
Great Southern Lumber Company,
setting aside $4,000 acres Of cut-over
land in Washington parish for refor-
estation, is a great forward move
ment in forestry, and distinct tri-
umph for the policy adopted years
ago by Commissioner Alexander.
When that official entered into the
first contract Of this kind with the
Urania Lumber Company in 1918, his
friends told him he was committing
political suicide, for the plan was GER
tain to arouse bitter opposition be-
cause 1t involved the fixed assess
ment of the land for long term of
years. But Mr.. Alexander knew the
timber of the State could be renewed
under no other process, and he bold
ly took the action.
What followed is we'll known. The
reserve at Urania became mecca
for forest conservationists through
out the country, and the action OF
Louisiana, the first of the kind, was
generally endorsed by every section
of the United States. The opposi-
tion strong at first, passed away with
the years, and the contract with the
Great Southern not only aroused no
opposition, but went through without
a dissenting voice. The foresight Of
Commissioner Alexander had been
put to the test and found to be the
safe and sane policy for the State to
adopt. The plan is equally beneficial
to the State at large and to the land
owners. Refcrestation is absolutely
necessary il the people Of the State
are not to be left at the mercy of
lumbermen at far distant points for
their building material and to exces-
sive freight charges from the States
of Washington and Oregon. The land
owners cannot afford to wait without
revenue for q crop for from fifteen
to forty years il taxes are to be ele.

Work That Counts.
New Orleans christian Adrocate.l

New Orleans Christian Adrocate.l
One Of the most interesting phe-
nomena in human life is what We call
habit. Habits do not just happen /;
back Of them are causes that may
have been in existence for long periods
of time, either consciously active or
APPARENTLY dormant, but powerful never
theless. 1t is largely habit that makes
or mars life for time and eternity.
Some people think bad habits are more
easily formed than good habits. Be
that as it may, we know that 1t is hard
to change bad habits. Parents, teach
ers and others, therefore, never do a
greater work than that of helping the
young to shun bad habits and to form
good ones This is work that counts.

/" Never Say Die. !"

New Orleans Christina Adr0cdte.l
Barnaby Ridges crow probably had
no idea in connection with his oft-re-
peated cry, Never say die" but the
mere words carry a meaning that is
worth great deal to the man who can
grasp it. There can be no insuperable
difficulties in the way of the accom-
plishment Of needed result. There
may be great difficulties, yes-but all
these will yield sooner or later to the
man who simply will not give up.
Be sure You are right-then go
ahead Is mighty good doctrine.
