RAISE VEGETABLES

! 1t is well that people encourage
the vegetarian habit, for ominous stor
les and threatening statistics of cat
tie shortage are current. II these
things are true confirmed meat eaters
VIII have to reform, increase their
earning power or go hungry. They
VIII probably increase the grain, fruit
and vegetable components of their ra-
tions. 1t will do not harm, because
big meat diet is not indispensable,
says the Washington Star. There ap-
pears verify in the figures, for they
are government figures, that since
1900 the population of the United
States has increased over % per cent.
while the supply of beef cattle has de-
clined more than 20 per cent. and the
slaughter of calves has increased 600
per cent. Argentina, one of the great
beef-producing regions, reports a di-
minishing supply of cattle. Three
years of drouth were suffered there,
and the dreaded hoof and mouth dis
ease ravaged herds. Cows and heif-
ers were also slaughtered too heavily
in order to supply the beef demand of
Europe. All this appears to be true,
because legislation is pending in Ar
gentina, which seeks to limit the num-
ber of cattle slaughtered to the prob
able yearly increase, and 1t is sought
to prohibit the slaughter of COWS un-
der seven years old and of calves en-
tirely Australian cattle breeding has
been hindered by seasons of drouth,
the cattle industry of Mexico has been
crippled by revolution, and England
will probably eat all the beef that
Canada can raise.

On Monday, telegram was re-
ceived by D. X. Hollenbeck announc-
ing the death of F. R. Miller, at st.
Joe, Missouri, and that the remains
would arrive in Perrysburg on We'd
nesday, April 8, for burial.

number of years was identified with
business interests in Denver.

The damage to roads and bridges
occasioned by the recent flood will
give public officials much work in the
way of repairs, and incidentally an
excellent opportunity for the exercise
of much common sense in the manner
in which those repairs are made. Re-
pair work should be under way
as rapidly as possible and contracts
given to none save those who will
render good service, There are many
examples of negligence or incom'
potency (or both) to be seen in various
parts of the county which reflect but
little credit on those who did the
work. The people pay good prices
and have right to expect good work
in return.

exposed behind their thin masks o.

THE CULTURE AND USE
OF LUE-CuRED TOBACCO

This type of tobacco is the only Ameri-

tendency to expand our exports.
About 40 per cent. or around 80, 900. 900

Is used in domestic consumption
"All things considered, this flue-
cured type of tobacco is unsurpassed
In universal popularity" states the re-

of uses. including granulated and cut
smoking tobacco; both paper and all
tobacco cigarettes, and plug filler and
wrapper; in fact, it is adapted to all
the regular forms in which tobacco is
used, except standard cigars and
snuff. In color and general appearance
1t is very attractive, while its low nfco-
tine content, mildness, aromatic sweet
ness, fragrance and good keeping
qualities render it very satisfying to

A Campaign For Membership


The October reports from the Nat.
ional Office shows a gain in party
membership of over $1,000 since Jun ,
lst, bringing the total membersh p. Of
the party to over 100000.
These figures will bring cheer to
every devoted party member.
The weakest point in the Socialist
movement in this country has always
been the party organization. Then to
increase this Membership ought to be-
come the absorbing work of the hour
We have been tireless propagandists,
but poor organizers. We pour money
into propaganda in an increasinS
stream; win over multitudes of voters
and then fail to follow up our work by
getting our voters into the party.
We are not poor or niggardly in our
gifts to the movement. America pro-
bably even leads Germany in the total
amount of money spent on Socialism
for given year, but the Germans with
their better organization, get more for
their money expended.

Clean Up.

AS our she'll road is approaching completion
it becomes incumbent upon every one OF US to
clean up, brighten up, polish up, paint up and
whitewash. as far as we can and to whatever
extent lies within our power. Henry Ward
Beecher once said that he would always judge
man by the clothes he wore until he learned
something further about him. He argued that
there was no other way by which to judge .
man than by his appearance until you became
better acquainted with him. or learned more OF
his actions in the past and in that way could
form or arrive at concentrated conclusions from
the broader point of view. Just 50. there is no
other way that the people who visit our parish
can Judge us, excepting from the appearance Of
our houses. gardens, fences oItbuildings and
adjacent lands. While repairs are always ex-
nensiye. vet many can do at least q little along
the line Of betterment and it is astonishing TO
learn what can be done even in the way Of
drainage. DR.. Gorgas has improved the Canal
Zone in Panama to such an extent that mos
quito bars are not necessary, but the houses are
all carefully screened and every effort is made

The Damage to the Rice Crop.

THE easterly winds that have been prevail
ing for several weeks filled the lakes and bayous
of the east bank Of our parish with water and
in fact excited much apprehension as to. the
final results, the memories Of our autumnal
storms and incidental disasters being fresh IN
the minds of the scores of sufferers all along
the East bank.
Belated rice fields, by,reason Of late plant
ing or by lack of irrigation water, were Dene-
fitted and when the rains set in with undue
frequency some weeks ago about the only con-
ISOLATION that was had was the fact that the rice
fields at least would be benefited by the ire
quent rains and perhaps after all produce some
thing of a crop. The quantity OF rain that Tell
was 50 great as to fairly submerge many fields
and O of the rice that was cut had to be
hauled out of the water in order to prevent its.
total loss.
The cane crop is the one that experienced
the most benefit and these autumnal or late
summer rains have frequently done the cane
crop so much good that the benefits have been
ascribed to the strains of the winds and the
blowing down Of the cane crops rather than to
the copious supply of water that would De the
chief cause of the improvement noticed. Some
reports have come from the West bank to the
effect that low lying fields were inundated, but
as to positive disaster no data has yet reached
us and until such data comes we shall remain as
optimistic as possible under the circumstances,
when the roads are muddy, the field roads irn-
passable and with the general decentralization
that results from these semi-storm conditions.
The result of the rains was the great dimin-
ution in the receipts of high grade rice IN New
Orleans and quite an advance in price occurred,
or at least a recovery from the low levels that
were being reached by the free offerings OF
rice. AT the New Orleans Board Of Trade
rooms more or less business was doing in rice
all the time, but buyers were compelled to take
cognizance of the changed condition in the
