TRUNKS and BAGGAGE Handled _ - . m -m m mm Ha A fEPUBIIAN APPEAL of the (Continued from page one.) Inc ^ tai policy will be repudiated by the peo- co pie. "The time has come when Louisi- an anians must assist in this fight or in let our industries perish. We can no longer sit back and watch the tb fight at a safe distance with the as- bh surance that the north and east will pi protect us. The north and east have, w largely, gone Democratic. Now is w the time for Democrats to come in- T to the Republican party. William gi J. Bryan, three times the Democratic h, candidate for president of the United States, said in the Omaha a World-Herald in 1896: "'The individual member of a o party at all times reserves the right p to vote against a nominee of a party and to abandon his party entirely v whenever in his judgment his duty to his country requires. * * * If abandonment of party is ever justi fiable the voter must determine for himself when the time for abandon ment arrives. When should he de cide? The proper time, if not the only time, is after the party has adopted its platform and named its candidates.' "This must not be interpreted as an appeal in behalf of officeholders. The smaller the party, the more se cure the officeholders; the larger the party, the greater the competi tion for the offices. It is an appeal to the business sense of those en gaged in the protected industries of Louisiana. "Unless you save the Republican party you cannot vote for Taft and protection nor against Underwood and free trade." NO CAUSE TO lOUlBT. A Statement of Facts Backed by a Strong Guarantee.

A SPLEEDID SUCCESS. 1° (Continued from page one.) m ci grandmother was a common na- st tive cow, and the animal was born S; and raised in East Baton Rouge parish. On the male side, the ani- cl mal used, all along the line, was the yi pure-bred Hereford. The steer in e: question is just over three years old ti and weighs about 1400 pounds. In conutrast to this fine animal is a p: comtmoa native scrub steer of the ti same age. But instead of weighing h i100 pounds he weighs only 750 Si pounds. Query: What is the use of wast- v ing feed on a common scrub steer ft that will give you only 750 pounds, u at three years old, when, by a lit- e tle careful selection and grading, o and of course feeding, you can get E an animal weighing 1400 pounds at the same age, and with possibly a less amount of feed? Which is the better business proposition? Hogs. There are some breed of hogs on the train that many of our people k have never seen nor heard of. How about the large Yorkshire breed? These are very fine animals, 1 and those on the train are good specimens. They are white in color, and are more or less of the bacon type, but attain to a very large size. k The color may be objectionable, in the opinion of some people, on ac k count of mange and other skin troubles, but the dipping vat used to kill ticks on cattle will keep the st. skin of the white hog free from these troubles and in good shape. The Berkshire and the Poland China are also to be seen, and are fine specimens. But there is the Hampshire breed, which is new to a great many of our people. This is a black hog, with a broad band of white around the body, includifig the shoulders. The breed is becom ing quite popular in the south; at tains a good size, and favors the bar 0- con type. The Duroc-Jersey is also there, si- and is a fair representative of this or increasingly popular breed of hogs. an But, among the exhibit of hogs, he the most impressive sight is a razor bs- back sow with her half Poland-China till pig, which, at six months of age, ye, weighed as much as its mother did is when she was eighteen months old. in- This lesson shows the importance of am good blood in grading up our native .tic hogs. the Why waste feed on the scrub,when lia a little good blood on the male side will increase the size and quality of a our hogs over 100 per cent? It is ght poor business. rty The hog exhibit on the train is ely worth taking half a day off to see. Corn. t1 The corn exlb it is a revelation. .a Just think of it-many farmers visit- , ing the train vfuld not believe it ,r was raised in haisina. c. "My," said oie farmer, "if we could only raise corn like that in q Louisiana it would mean something." He was fairly dumbfounded when informed that every ear on the train f was raised right here in his own state. As has al'eady been said, the train is showing to Louisianians what Louisiana really can do along i agricultural lines. And many of us, yes, the majority, have not yet the faintest idea of what our soils are capable of yielding if only given a fair chance. And so it is with many other crops which are to be seen on the train. Other Things. But, although of prime importance to successful farming, animals and crops are not the only things to be seen on the train. Education has its exhibit, and with out the education of our youth to be able to take advantage of all our wonderful possibilities, the demon stration train would be sadly lacking in its completeness. The State Board of Education is well represent ed, and has models df country schools and a host of other things that ap peal to the visitors who realize the pararmount importance of "bending the willow while it's green" to the principles of an education which will develop the future successful citizenry of the state. Domestic Science. One of the most attractive demon strations on the train, especially to the lady and girl visitors, is the canning plant, which is operated "while you wait." Just think of it: To be able to put up your fruit and vegetables for future table use by means of a simple little canning de vice which can be operated with the greatest ease. Everybody should see the canning plant at work. It may mean a great saving to the º housewife who has plenty of fruits - and vegetables to preserve for fam . ily use. The Experiment Station Car. The experiment station car is re ) plete with almost everything that con J cerns the well being of the farmer s the live stock above described being - a part of the station exhibit. And, lest we forget, visitors should not fail to ask questions about every thing they see on the train. The train is a demonstration, not a show; and it is the purpose of those in charge of the various exhibits to af t ford all the information they can s to those who seek it. In other words, the sole purpose of this de monstration train is education-not d amusement. 1 Farm Machinery. Farming cannot be made success ful nowadays without the use of im proved implements and labor-saving devices. Many of these are on ex hibition, and are operated for the benefit of the visitors. d Live Stock Sanitary Board Exhibit. y The improvement of our live stock aL. nd the protection of them from the fatal and infectious diseases to which thqy are susceptibe., are at the very foundation of our agricultural pros perity. In the case of our cattle improve ment it means the eradication of the Ii cattle tick; with our hog stock, it n means their protection from hog h cholera, both of which are under the c supervision of our State Live Stock s Sanitary Board. e If you want to know about hog c cholera and the protective serum, v you must not fail to see the board's f exhibit on the train and obtain all the information you can about it. Further, you should see the com plete model of a dipping vat for c ticky cattle, and inquire al about c how to construct one, and the ar senical solution which is used for killing the ticks and other forms of vermin on live stock. Cards will be found on the train for the asking t which will afford all the information necessary, and will give you an idea of what the Live Stock Sanitary Board means to you. A QUESTION TO FATHERS AIN MOTHERS. What is your son or daughter going to do when school closes? You will admit they have no time to lose, no time to spend in idol ness. Had you thought of what a great advantage it would be to them to place them in a school where they could receive a practical training to be used in everyday life, and where they could be surrounded by hun dreds of bright, energ c, grown young men and women hung men and women who are w ing ear nestly and faithfully, in order that they may qualify themselves in the shortest possible time to go out and succeed in the business world? . We have now over 600 enrolled in daily attendance. New students are en rolling daily; others are graduating daily and are being placed in good positions through our employment de partment. A thorough course of bookkeeping business training, shorthand, and typewriting or telegraphy in our in stitution is one of the best estates you can give your child; it is a prac tical knowledge for which the busi ness world pays cash.
