I. O. O. F. to Hold Charity Ball.

The Odd Fellows of Clifton, with their sisters, the ladies of the Re bekahs, are preparing to hold on the evening of Dec. 26, at the Princess Theatre a charity ball, the proceeds of which will be devoted to the re- lief of cases of suffering and destitu- tion among the people of Clifton. Adams orchestra will furnish, free of all cost, the music for the evening. while the management of the Princess theatre will give free the use of the building. Several hundreds tickets will soon be offered for sale, and will no doubt be taken by many, making the coming occasion promise to be among the notable social events Of the Winter season. The cause through it's worthiness is deserv- ing of all response.

Presbyterians to Hold Christmas Tree

The statement is made that the Presbyterian church will hold at the church building their annual Christ mas tree, on the evening of Decem- Der 24. And while the conditions are such that the gifts borne will perhaps be not so abundant as in former years, still the little folk will find sufficient gifts of Santa Claus upon the Christmas tree this year to make the seasons happiness equal to former occasions.

Surprised at What He Saw.

H. E. Colby of KimbalPs Dairy
Farmer, published at Waterloo, Iowa,
one of the agricultural editors who
recently visited Louisiana, writes as
follows in late issue of his paper:
My impressions of Louisiana are
very different from those which | en-
tertained before undertaking this
trip. The editors tour was certainly
a great thing from my standpoint
for it has given to me clearer con-
ception of the tremendous possibili-
ties of that section of the country,
Perhaps one Of the things that
impressed me more than any other
was the great fertility of the soil.
/ had no idea that Louisiana possess
ed such variety Of soils and such
avast extent of productive farm land
I had heard of the long growing sea-
son, of the great variety of crops
and of the attractive climate, but at
least, in my case, the remarkable fer
tility and soil texture were undream-
ed of before actually seeing them.
Naturally because of my affilia-
tions with the dairy industry | could
not help but imagine the possibilities
that Louisiana offers from the dairy
mans standpoint. l visited stores On
where sometimes as much
as 5000 acres were under cultivation
and there I found timed milk-the
condensed product imported from dis
tant market centers. Here is coun-
try rich in feed that has long
grazing season, that has every facili-
ty for the conduct Of successful
dairying, and vet you are buying
everything in the dairy line from dis
tant points.

Louisiana that is known especially as
the reclaimed land offers a great op-
portunity for the building of a sec

Marvellous Development in Southern
a,Iisiaaa

An example of the valuable ex-
ploitation this section Is receiving at
/ the hands Of the railroads and other
ment fostered by the organization of
the South Louisiana immigration As
sociation and kindred bodies, is
afforded by the following article I'M
der the above caption, which is
prominently displayed in the most
recent time table issued by the Mis-
souri, Pacific-Iron Mountain railway
system:
A movement has begun in south
efn Louisiana which plans the irn-=
Drovement and settlement of the mil
lions of acres of Idle lands, the cut
ting UP of large plantations into
small farms for intensive cultivation,
and the bringing in of thousands of
new people to develop and enjoy the
fruits of Louisiana's great wealth.
"A new life is felt among the peo-
pie, From the cid families a new
and progressive generation has grown
up and a new era has begun Wei
come is the word Of greeting to all
new comers. Farmers, merchants,
anufacturers-men of progressive
ideas and ability to do things-are
wanted and will find their door Of
opportunity in southern Louisiana
Diversified farming is taking the
place of the old plantation method
and many men are turning their at
tention to truck growing, as well as
general farming. One man, formerly
a big sugar planter, has put in $40
acres of tomatoes, 100 acres of sugar
corn for roasting ears and 10 acres
of caulifloWer. This man has con-
verted a part of his sugar mill into
canning factory with capacity of
10000 cans a day.

isiana farmers are planting large

other feed stuffs, formerly brought In

in connection with diversified farm
ing Hog raising and dairying are
proving highly profitable Immigra-
ton associations are being organized
to encourage settlement by outside
farmers and business men. Tracts of
good farm land can be had in most
every community in any quantity the
purchaser may want, ane. the owners
offer the easiest kind of terms.
Those contemplating an invest
ment in these lands will remember
that improvements can be made at
a much less cost than in the north
ern and eastern states because of
the abundance of timber and cheap
ness of lumber. Uncleared land will
usually yield enough timber to pay
for it's improvement, including the
farm building, barns and fences.

Better Babies.
BysR. S. yICKERs.

! When. you consider the care ane
attention given to the raising o
horses, cattle, hogs and even dogs
and the tremendous progress made
in the physical development of these
different species of the lower ami
mails, it contrasts remarkably with
the little attention bestowed on the
improvement of the human species.
It is a mooted question whether
man is better developed physi
cally at the present day thar
he was at the dawn of history
But whether he is or not, be
yond doubt, every lower animal do
mesticated by man has made many
fold the progress HE has made in
physical development. The differ
ence between the size and appear
ance of the man of today and the
man of the time of the Deluge is
slight if any compared to the vast
difference between the splendid
thoroughbred horse of today and the
same species of that day.
{ Suppose we had given small 1.-THE
of the attention to rearing our chill
dren and propagating our species
that we have given to developing the
pure Duroc-Jersey from the primitive
razor back. We would undoubtedly
now be a race Of giants
For the purpose of emphasizing the
need of more scientific attention to
the physical development of our race,
the South Louisiana Fair Association
intends to make the Better Baby
Show this year one of its best edu-
cational features and to that end
We have secured the services of DR..
L. R. DeBuys, the Well-knoWn chill
dren's specialist of New Orleans,
who will be assisted by two other
physicians, to Judge the baby con-
test. After the decisions Dr. De-
Buys will give his reasons therefor
and explain the different points on
which his awards were based.
In a recent Better Babies Show in
New York city the prize winning
baby, who was 28 months old, weigh
ed 33 pounds, Il ounces, was 33a
inches tall, measured 20 inches
around the abdomen, 20 inches
around the chest, circumference of
head 1872 inches, depth OF chest ~
inches, length of arm 14a inches,
length of leg, 16k inches.
The mother of this little girl attri-
buted the state of physical perfection
attained by her child mainly to the
great and loving care bestowed on it.
But she meant intelligent and not
indu1gent care, as evidenced by the
fact that from the time of her birth
she gave the baby regularly two
daily baths, night and morning, made
her play out in the open air several
hours each day, followed g physi
clans directions in balanced rations
and was altogether scientific in the
baby's' training
The silver cups and ribbons which
will be awarded to the prize winning
babies at the fair, Saturday, Oct. 10,
may well make the fortunate moth
ars proud, but of course the Growing
will all be done by father

BujIginu Up the Community.

The dollars spent with the home
merchant are the dollars that help
to build up the community. Nobody
ever heard of a mail order house in
a distant city making a contribu-
ton for the Improvement Of this
town. The merchant in the big
city pays nothing toward the sup
port of the school in which our chill
dren are educated, nor for the sup
port of the churches in which our
people worship. IN fact, the dollar
sent to the merchant in the big
city is gone forever, so far as any
good to your community is con-
cerned
Is it fair to deprive the home mer-
chant Of your cash trade and thus
deprive the community of the bene-
fits to be derived from keeping this
money at horne?
Ciyic pride is virtue to which
that citizen can not rightfully lay
claim who makes practice. of send
ing away from home for his pllr-
cIlases just for the sake Of saving
a few pennies on each

and factory operations In the sugar
industry Of Louisiana amount to-
over s25, 600, ,oo0.

French Citizens and Military Service.

French Citizens and Military Service
The questions and answers depart.
ment of the Times-Picayune makes
the following reply to Gramercy in
quirer who wished to know whether
a person born in France, but nat
uralized citizen of the United States,
could be compelled to serve in the
French army during time of war:
The fourteenth amendment de-
clares that "A1l persons born or
naturalized in the United States, and
subject to the jurisdiction there
of, are citizens of the United States
and Of the state wherein they re-
side,'' and as such they are entitled
to a protection of their rights under
the laws of this country. But a
mere declaration of intention to be-
come citizen Of this country has
no value whatever, and until per-
son has perfected his naturalization
in due course of law and obtained
his final papers, he cannot claim the
protection of the United States in
case of his voluntary return to the
country of his origin. II the parents
of the person in question had, un-
der the obligation imposed by French
law upon parents whose children are
absent from France at the period of
drafting for military duty, registered
him as a French citizen. and he was
so drafted, and at the time Of his
American naturalization he failed to
apply for formal authority from the
French government to renounce his
to that country, the nat
acquired in America
would be without value in the eyes
Of the French government, and
should he voluntarily place himself
within French jurisdiction he would
be subject to the laws Of France.
As the failure of French citizen to
perform military service, after be-
ng drafted, constitutes an offense
against French military law, and in
he absence of any treaty of natural
zation between the United States
and France, this government could
lot guarantee immunity from arrest
,r punishment under the laws of
france.

Sources of Sugar Supply.

The sugar supply of the American
people is drawn from three main
sources. These are ID domestic beet
sugar produced in seventeen states
from Ohio in the east to California
in the west, ca domestic cane sa1-
gar produced In Louisiana, Hawaii,
Porto Rico and the Philippines, f3)
imported cane sugar produced In
Cuba and brought into the United
States under q special tariff rate. 90
per cent below the full duty, For
merly it was necessary to import for
.eign sugars paying full duty. but
with the increase of the domestic and
Cuban supplies, practically no full
duty sugar has been imported during
the past two years.
