LOUISIANA EVENTS

Few Days-What is Going On
and Where and Why.
Dairy Association Meeting.

Hammond.-The Hammond Coop
erative Dairy Association will put III
a pasteurizing plant here, the machlli-
cry for which will be ordered at once.
This was decided on at meeting
held for the purpose Of deyising bet
ter methods for placing their PROD
ucts on the market The meeting
was addressed by Mr., n. 0. Nelson
of st. Louis, who is recognized du-
thority on all matters pertaining TO
the dairy business. He explained va
rious methods of procedure III the
marketing of dairy products. NO
definite plan was adopted, though the
members Of the association were
unanimous in the opinion that the
pasteurizing plant was necessary as
the first step, whatever plan was ul-
timately settled upon. Another thlng
that was considered as absolutely
necessary to the success of any pro-
ject advanced is cooperation. one
way of disposing OF the products OF
the dairymen of the association is to
establish an agency of their own IN
the city and ship the entire output
to that one distributing point instead
of the individual members disposlng
of their milk and cream to different
BUYERS, and this method is likely to
be the one finally chosen at the next
meeting of the association.

From the strictly profane point of
view, Mephisto was the best educated
parrot in this section of New Jersey.
He could swear with fluency in five
languages and also in several dialects.
Every noun, verb, adjective, COnjunc-
ton, proposition and article in the vo-
cabulary was either tainted or tine
tured with profanity. Not one of his
many friends expressed any hope for
his future. He was beyond reforma.
ton and redemption.
Sorrenson, who lives in New street,
took Mephisto to the station Thursday
evening. The parrot was drawing
with energy upon his vocabulary and
delighung one part of big crowd
and shocking others when the New
York train rolled in. Mephisto be-
came panic stricken at once. He
flew from the arm Of his owner, cir
cled twice above the locomotive and
then dived down the smoke stack.
The astounded spectators heard vol
ley of oaths coming out with the
smoke, and then there was silence.
There Is a division of opinion as to
what produced it.
Those who were shocked by the
language the parrot had used say the
silence was caused by suffocation.
The birds friends assert, however.
that Mephisto simply was racking his
brains to find words to fit the new
situation In which he found himself.

The boy is entering his eighteenth
week of fasting. He takes only milk

manufacturers of clothing that they
must be prepared for an advance OF
about rs per cent on all goods and

dealers that the outlook for business
never has been brighter and that
the rush of orders appeared to be
