The Rice Bell Journal Published Every Friday by the Welsh Printing Company, Limited 'Cse Dollar a Year in Advance • Advertising Rates on Application Entered at the Postofice at Welsh, Louisiana, as Second Class Matter. FRIDAY, JANUARY 9, 1914. JOHN T. IHOOD, - - - - EDITOR AND MANAGER THE 1914 OUTLOOK. "The year 1913 truly has been disastrous to the country generally in this section. The unprecedented rainy season throughout the fall and winter cut the rice crop down to an alarming extent Then has followed the low price of rice rp until the present time with scarcely any tangible hopes for the market opening up at any time soon to any great extent. This situation coupled with the fact that this section has depended upon the rice industry almost exclusively has brought the people to face a very serious and uncertain situation. We present these facts without the least feeling of pessimism. We are not pessi mists, iconclasts, howlers of hard times or anything of that kind bit we are presenting a statement of facts in order that our attention may be directedl to a. careful, earnest and intelligent study of this ex perience. There is no doubt but that we are facing a new order of things which may perhaps through providence work to our ultimate good. The JOUItNAL is not presumptious and does not assume the role of the Moses to lead the people through this transitional wilder ness but we may be indulged ton making a suggestion that has come to our mind We have said before in this column that a one crop system would ultimately pauperize any people who are dependent upon agri culture. It niay take several years like 1913 to teach that truth thoroughly to s ,ne. The year 1913 however may serve as an index pointing unmistakably to the ultimate end of the one crop system. As already sec we are trying to impress the idea of diversification. How much better off would this section have been today if the barns were stocked with corn and plenty of forage, their pantries laden with potatoe, canned fruits and vegetahles, their pastures stocked with good milk and beef cattle and hogs. The boll weevil stricken sections of our cou: y have had to learn this new order through the rough and ruge¶ed road:t of several years experience. We ought to be wise and profit by their experience. We have just said that a one crop industry would ultimately pauperize aº:y country, we may further say with equal truth that no country can perma:nently establish and maintain its prosperity upon the prodluction of any raw material. No nation, no community ever came to greatnesý by producing raw rmterial. Along with the di versifiel ,agiculture we needl to develop our raw material It is a curioi,' yet none the less rem rkable fact that three-fourths of our lpopulatinn an: manufacturing wealth is comprised in a narrow strip of territory from \lMssachussetts west containing less than one sixth of our territorv aln stranger still it is far removed from any section pro douciug raw material and in the midst of a barren and sterile soil with a hard (.!imu:atý. \Vhat if those people had our soil,, our climate, our hpssibilities for the production of raw material the mind would stagger :t the co,ntietlilatrioI of the wealth anl power they would attain. There is i, Iced a rich heritage for the people of this section. We believe it will be revealed to us in the new order and not in the old. Let us set our iers to meet the rays that are surely breaking Wpon us which is none the less than a new and ample diversified agriculture. DID YOU EVER STOP TO THINK? If yon read this article through thoroughly you will, and If you.are young you will think twice. Did you ever stop to think that you do four things, just four and no more? You think; you remember; you imagine; you act. When you learn to think better' remember better, imagine bet. tar or act better, you are increasing your efficielcy, and, therefore your in come. You may feel that you are very successful now. Suppose you are; it isn't a question of what you know, but of how beneficial a practical business education will be to you in addition o+ what you already know.' You will agree with us that to violate a part of the laws of business means partial failure, and to violate all the laws means complete success. Our aim is to help you observe a higher per cent of the laws of success, and, therefore, enable you to be nearer the maximum success. The late Prof. James of Har yard declares that the average man only uses ten per cent of his brain power. Suppose you are twice as capa. ble as the average man? Even that would mean you are only twenty per cent of your maximum possibilities. The purpose of our course is to produce a maximum of proficiency with a minimum effort. Did you ever stop to think that eightyflive per cent of the men of this country are only earning $15 a week or less? That ninety-two per cent fail in business between the ages of 40 and 50? That 95 per cent have no money at the age of 60? We have been very successftl in getting men out of Ihe eighty five, the ninety. two and the nineL.flve per cent classe. Why not let us help you? We have been marvellously successful in raising samrles, as is conclusively proven by the letters in our calalog from former students. The business world Wants thinkers and doers. There's a famine at high priced men today; there are thicusands of men worth a thousand dollar. a year but only a few worth ten ti cusaed a year. Be the latier kind of aman; you can if you will. We know that a man i woxth only about $2.00 a a from the chin down, selling muscle, but as highas a hundred thous. and dollars a year from the chin up, aelling brains. he a chin upper and sell the higher type of brains; you can't afford to be a chin downer; there's no toorm (or such a man in the high #Jarlte cl as, Take oar thorough practical courses of Bookkeeping, Shorthand, Business Administration and Finance and telegraphy, learn how to think, to remember, to imagine and act.
