Looking forward to a big de- ,
mand for work horses here and j
abroad as soon as trade condi
tions become normal, the South
Louisiana Fair, Donaldsonvölle,
Oct- 2 to 9, is offering large pri
zes for draft horses.
The horse industry of the Old
World from which nearly all of
oilr breeds of horses came origi
nally, has been nearly wiped
out, according to the horse-bree j
ders who have made a survey of |
Europe. Belgum, France and the ;
British Isles all report a tremen- 1
dous shortage of pure-bred hor
ses.
"There is much argument that'
the hoi e is better than the trac- 1
tor, an ' the tractor better than ;
the ho: se," said Secretary R. S.I
S. Viel ers, today. "But in the opi !
nion o fair officials, there is j
room J )i both. The horse has
always been of great service as a '
work a limal on the farm, and j
will co itinue to be. That's why
we are interested in offering pri- j
zes."
Other kinds of stock will be ex- j
hibited at the fair in large num-1
bers. The livestock show promis- 1
. es to break all previous records, i
according tc the number of inqui \
ries received, asking about the!
rules and regulations governing I
the exhibition of stock, and priz- j
es. Other departments of the
fair,, including the women's work
and the children's departments,
are arousing great interest.
The entertainment features in
clude horse racing, auto racing,
fireworks, a midway show, mu
sic and aviation- Ohe country has
been scoured far and wide in
search of amusements of a clean,
wholesom nature never seen lo
cally before.

PT.AQUEMINE FERRY FREE.
" aquemine, La., Sept. 9.—
The two special committees of
the police jury of Iberville parish
and the city councinl met Thürs
day evening at the City Hall and
agreed that *$250 be donated by
each annually for the upkeep of
the Plaquemine ferry, and that a
lease for five years will be given
to the party or parties operating
the fery free of charge, provided
a boat large enough to hold four
or five automobiles is operated. !
A good ferry at this point will
mean a great benefit for the citi

HIS DUTY TO AID TRAVELERS
Postmaster of Three Hundred Years
Ago Supplied Horses to Those
Who Needed Them.
A postmaster of 300 years ago was
a very different person to what he Is
today. Do you want to know how?
Well, the postmaster today has to do
almost entirely with letters aud par
cels and, in England, of course, with
telegrams, too. But 300 years ago
he had to do almost entirely with
horses. Thus I wonder, says a writer
in the New York Evening Tost, if you
know that William Brewster, the lead
er of the Mayflower Pilgrims, was for
many years postmaster at Scrooby, a
little village in England on the great
North road, halfway between London
and Berwick?
William Brewster, however, did not
live in a little house in the village
street, using the front room as a post
office, as do man? village postmasters
today. He lived in a grand old house
called Scrooby manor and his duty
was to supply horses to ail travelers
who desired to hire them, for in those
days, of course, all traveling that was
not done on foot was done on horse
back. He was appointed by the gov
ernment and he" had what 300 years
ago was a very handsome salary,
namely, 2s a day, besides what trav
elers used to pay him If they stayed
for a night or so at Scrooby manor
on their journey. It was in the great
hall at Scrooby manor that the Pil
grims used to meet before they left
England for Holland, whence, some
ten years or so later, they sailed for
America.
UNDOUBTEDLY HIS BY RIGHT
Boorish Stranger Surely Proved His
Claim to Possession of That Match
box Without Argument.
The car on an English railway was
not overcrowded. There was a goodly
number of persons sitting in it, but
evidently there was not room for the
fussy man who entered last.
He stood on every one'$ toes.
He pushed his luggage iû every one's
eyes and placed his heaviest bag on
some one's hat.
He elbowed himself plenty of room
on the side of the compartihent .
"Infernal railway!" he muttered to
the man next to him.
"Thank goodness," replied the
stranger, "tl*it you spoke first !"
"What do you mean?" asked the
rude man.
"Well," said the stranger, handing
him a gold matchbox, u t lntist give ydu
this, sir."
"But," exclaimed the other, "we are
complete strangers!"
"Yes, sir, I know that, but I am
a member of a society, and we ha
subscribed for that matchbox, whic.
we were going to give to a member
whoiii we considered the rudest man
on earth—but I think you deserve it
far more than he does!"

Why Buried With Head to the West.
The usual posture of the dead is
with the feet eastward and.the head
toward the west—the fitting attitude
of those who look for their Lord,
"Whose name is the East," and who
will come to judgment in the regions
of the dawn suddenly, But it was
the ancient usage of the church that
the martyr, the bishop, the saint, and
even the priest, should OCChpy in their
Sepulture a position tho reverse of the
secular dead, and lie do^i with their
feet westward and their heads to the
rising sun. The position Of the crozier
and the cross on ancient sepulchers of
the clergy record and reveal this fact.
The doctrine suggested by such a
burial was that these mighty men
would be honored with a first resur
rection, and aS their Master came on
from the East they were to arise and
follow the Lamb as he went ; inas
much as they, with him, would ad
vance to the judgment of the general
multitudes, the ancients and the saints
which were worthy to judge and reign.

FARMERS AND FORESTERS
HO LD BIG MEETING
Bogalusa, La.—'The citizens and
members of thei Florida Parishes
Woods Fire Control Association wera
entertained as guests of the Louisiana
Summer Forest Camp here. The for
est school is the first of its kind in the
South, being originated and maint
Gained by the Department of Conser
vation, through its commissioner, M.
L. Alexander and Colonel T. D. Boyd,
President of the Louisiana State Uni
versity, with Major J. G. Lee, Dept. of
For. and Hort., L. S. U., as Director.
About 250 men and women from the
various Florida Parishes attended this
forestry meeting, bringing wi'th them
large baskets filled with lunch and
other good things to eat. The forestry
camp furnished them with barbecued
beef and goat and coffee, and everyone
had plenty. This meeting was very in
formal and the subjects of how to pre
vent fires and the results that can Le
obtained from reforestation were dis
cussed.
Mr. J. K. Johnson of Bogalusa pr»
sided as Chairman. Mr. Geo. C. Knight,
a local farmer and a member of the
School Board, opened the meeting with
prayer. Professor J. G. Le« made the
address of welcome. In his address
he emphasized the fact that forestry
and farming go hand in hand and
made a special plea that all idle acre«
should produce either farm or timber
crops. An important point brought
out was the fact that the lumbermen
of Louisiana are gladly cooperating
with forestry, as once upon a time
their ideas were all destructive log
ging, but through the rapid depletion
of timber realize that now a plan
of constructive forestry is essential
for the future. On the subject of fire,
Major Lee emphasized the fact that
♦•hey not only kill young timber but
ruin the succulent grasses of the range,
the fertility of the soil, and endanger
the improvements of farms adjacent, to
the cut-over lands. He closed his ad
dress with the plea that the farmers
have more such meetings not only fcr
their social benefit but also to intei^
change ideas for successful farming
and forestry.
Mr. J. K. Johnson made the response
to the address of welcome in behalf of
the citizens of Washington Parish. He
described briefly the reforestation
plans of the Great Southern Lumber
Company and asked for the coopera
tion of all citizens. He wound up with
a statement that if this company's ex
periments were successful, not only
would the Great Southern Lumber
Company benefit by them but also ev
ery citizen in that community would
gain either directly or indirectly. He
also offered free range to the local cit
izens on the fenced-in areas of the
latest tract to be reforested.
The Hon. M. J. Sylvest, member
of the legislature, then followed and
laid stress on the fact that the great
est factor in successful undertakings
is public opinion, therefore the publfo
must interest itself and help cooperate
in the enforcement of the existing for
estry laws. The meeting then ad
journed for dinner.
After dinner Mr. Dan Sheridan, local
timber and cattle man, stated how he
had for years fired the woods. About
a year ago fee suddenly realized the
heavy loss he had inflicted upon both
the range and young timber; since
then he has fought all fires and has co
operated with the Department of Con
servation. He then asked the members
present if they believed in fire protec
tion, and if so, to stand up and pledge
their full support and coopération. The
pledge was made by every male mem
ber present. Mr. H. J. Stahl, Farm
Forester of the Department of Conser
vation, gave a brief outline of his
work and how this would benefit the
farmers individually. He also asked
for their cooperation in the boys' for
estry club work.
Mr. V. H. Sonderegger, Acting Su
perintendent of Forestry of the De
partment of Conservation, gave a com
parative analysis of the European and
American forestry conditions, making
special emphasis of the fact that pine,
if given only half a chance, could re
produce saw logs in 3f> years as shown
in a demonstration plot at the camp.
Various questions were discussed and
