of doctrine or polity. the Sunday School
as the Bible studying and teaching ser.

q 1. For the purpose of increasing the
interest and efficiency in Bible study.

Sunday School management and Bible
teaching,
8. Of perfecting Sunday School liter.
allure and equipment.
4. OF more closely linking the home
with the church.

SOUTHWESTERN REFLECTIONS.

Are you familiar with lespedesa? 1t
is a natural product of Southwest
Louisiana and thriveS here as it does in
few other places in the United States,
Have you planted any yet? If not,
do so at once, and make it a part of
your annual crop hereafter.
No less distinguished authority than
DR.. w. H. Dairymple, of the Louisiana
State University, has after careful
anSlySiS, pronounced it superior to the
famous Timothy hay of more northern
latitude, as regards both nutritive value
and as soil builder.
/ know man who came from Scot.
land and settled in Louisiana only a few
years ago, working for monthly wages
on Louisiana farm until he had estab.
lished his worth sufficiently we'll to en-.
able him to get assistance in the pur.
chase of small farm. Last year he
sold eight thousand dollars worth of
Lespedeza seed, besides saving enough
of the hay to maintain the dairy he has
built up in the mean time.
Can you beat that with rice, with
sugar, or with cotton?
And the beauty of it is, it is a cheap
crop, requiring no cultivation after
planting, and making money for you
stealily while you are busy with your
main crop.
What about it, brother? Are you
going to plant few acres this year?
You still have time to do it, but there
is no time to waste. If you are in any
DOUBT about its VALUE give yourself
the benefit of the DOUBT. plant LES
PEDEZA and be happy.
The great farmers Of this country
and of the world are those who plant

NEW CROP STARTED.

The rice market seems to be hope.
lessly tied up. A very small portion of
last years crop has been sold. The
bulk of the crop yet remains in the
warehouses. Acting on the advice of
Association most of the growers de.
cided to hold the crop for the Associ.
alton prices while few sold in the
early part of the season. The price has
remained steadily down with apparent.
ly no prospect of any immediate relief.
The grade in the first place has been
considerably affected by the unusual
rainy season in the fall during the
harvesting season and this is assigned
as one cause for the low prices, there
being no demand for this quality of
rice. Others assign as cause that it is
an effort of the buyers to break down
the effort of the Association in main.
tanning its system of marketing.
Whatever the cause may be the year
1918 was in the main unfortunate for
the rice growers.
1t is now the season for preparation
for a new years crop and there is a
genuine feeling of uncertainty among
the growers.
A good proportion of the farmers
have started breaking the land for a
new crop while possibly half of the
farmers have not yet broken any at
all. There will doubtless be a great
deal more corn and other crops planted
than heretofore. The farmers are be.
ginning to realize after all that the
only real road to prosperity is by first
being assured of living at home.

MUST BEAR THE HALLMARKS
No Longer Possible to Sell Substi-
tutes for Platinum In France as
tho Genuine Article.

Owing to the increasing price of
platinum, new alloys of gold called
"whitc gold' and "palladum gold"
have lately come into use IS substi-
tute for platinum in the manufac-
turc Of Jcwclry. To avoid the confu-
sion of these alloys with pure plati-
nun work three new stamps, or hall
marks, have been created by a recent
French decree for use in making jew
clry that is composed entirely or in
part of platinum.
One of the new hallmarks, a dog 8
head, is used to stamp work of home
manufacture which is to be sold in
France; another, the head of a young
girl, denotes work of home manufac-
ture intended for expectation; and
a mask designates imported goods.
In combinations of platinum and
white gold the proper stamps must
be used to indicate the various
metals.

Moth ExternInators MuItIpIyInn.

Thousands of the handsome green
and gold beetles imported from Eu-
rope two or three years ago for the
purpose OF killing of the gypsy and
brown tail moth caterpillars have
been seen during the past few days
in the Blue Hills. Experts say that
they are multiplying rapidly and are
doing good work in killing of the
caterpillar pests. especially in gypsy
moths. The beetles are known as
"calosoma scycophanta" and their
bodies are as big in diameter as .

thickly settled. His ranch of 250,000
acres seems small and cramped. and

FINDS GEM IN HEEL OF SHOE

by Hotel Valet.

To lose a pigeon blood ruby worth
$4,000 in the stateroom of a steamship
and to find the gem imbedded in the

later was the experience of Miss Glenn

attracted much attention among the

as regarded the earrings worn by Miss
Clementina Cienski-twin pigeon blood
rubies, large as the nails Of her little
finger, and said to be heirlooms
When In midocean the purser Of the
Imperator was informed that one Of
the rubies had been lost. Instant
search was made, but the gem could
not be found.
On the arrival of the Clenski party
at the Astor hotel, Miss Cienski decid-
ed that her shoes needed shining. and.
in accordance with the European GUS
tom, placed her shoes. including pair
with rubber soles. before her door be-
fore retiring. In due course the shoes
were taken In charge by the hotel

the gem to A. Palmer, assistant man

ried It to Miss Cienski. The valet was
sent for and 1t was observed that he
was In exceptional good humor for the
balance of the day.
Miss Cienski says that she mus

MAN THEIR FAVORITE DISH
Cannibalism In the Solomons ls
Looked on as Religious and
Tribal Rite.

A letter descriptive of one of the
rites of the sayagee was recently re-
ceived here from Sydney from trav-
eler, who had spent some time in the
cannibalinfested Solomon islands in
the Pacific. The Solomons are the can
nibalistiC hub of the south Pacific, al.
casionally In the Marquesas and New
Hebrides islands.
"Maneaters on land, maneaters in
the water; for Gods sake, steer clear
Of the SolomOns!" was the advice CIV
en- to the writer when he first ex-
pressed his intention Of visiting those
islands. In Fiji travellers are still SO
advised.

letter. the mate Of trader told me: (:
You can chuck a pig overheard any
where In the Solomons, and f1ve min
utes later walk ashore on the black
dorsal fms OF sharks. But what's the
use? The blacks will snap you up and
pick your bones the minute you reach
the beach,
"Cannibalism, which has always
been practised in the Solomons, owes
Its persistence not to any particular
prediction for human flesh," says the
writer Of the letter, but to the fact
that 1t is looked upon as religious
and tribal rite.
