Plant Something.
MUM Der 5

The Lake Charles American-Press
offers the following sound and time
iy advice, which If generally follow
ed would undoubtedly do much to re-
lieVe the stringent situation with
regard to foodstuffs that is certain
to ensue in this country as a result
of the European disturbance, and as
natural sequence. would play
large part in reducing the living ex-
penses of those who will profit by
the sensible suggestion:
s.The one thing certain about the
frlghtful war now raging in Europe is
that it will mean shortage in the
worlds food supply. The world is
never more than a few laps ahead of
starvation at the best and with
everybody at work. The withdrawal
of millions of men from the ranks of
the toilers to serve in the combating
armies, the interruption of the work
of millions Of others because of the
existence of war, and the havoc and
destruction caused by its continuance
must inevitably result in shortened
food supply, and in higher prices the
world over; for men must eat if they
live, no matter what it costs them.
During this crisis in the worlds
history, the people Of Lake Charles
and Calcasieu parish can best serve
themselves by adding their mite to
the production of food stuffs. Plant
something, every spring and fall, no
matter II it is only a little garden
spot twenty feet square. One has
no idea, until he tries it, how much a
little garden well cared for will pro-
duce in southwest Louisiana, nor
how much it will figure in reducing
his living expenses.
ITO the men who farm for a living,
the advice should come with added
force. This il tiiseir sppor ati,aftv,
their golden harvest time; but they
should be cautious about planting
more than they can care for prop
.erly. Labor is going to be scarce
and high priced during the coming
months and in the distribution OF la
Dor the farms are always served last.
Owners OF farm lands now lying idle
should avail themselves of this OPP
portunity to get tenants and place
their lands in cultivation. This will
be "a good time to sell such lands
on long time and easy payments, be-
cause the Industrious and well in
formed farmer is sure to make
money during a series of years.
Production is one thing that
keeps the world going Without it
all commerce stops and all manufae.
turing is at an end. The responsi-
bi1ity for keeping the real work of
the world going on, while the I'M
happy millions of Europe are engag
ed in destruction, falls upon those
who enjoy the blessing of peace. The
rewards for so doing will also come
to them and they will not be incon-
siderable We may all help in the
work of producing food, even il our
contribution is no more than an
onion bed or a small patch Of po-
tatoes II the people of Lake
Charles and all the small towns in
the parish had gardens, they would
strike hundreds of thousands of dol
lars from their living cost. As for
the farmers Of Ca1casieu, this Is
their opportunity. If shey cannot
make money farming during the next
few years, they will never be able
to make money!

Judging Swine,
By E. L. JORDAN, Swine Judge, South
Louisiana Fair 1914.

In judging swine, as in case of all
other classes of stock or other ex
hibits, the judge must have clearly
in mind the outstanding points OF
the breed type and must be guided
solely by this type in making his
decisions.
He cannot take into consideration
the fact that one animal may be
more fashionably bred than another
nor can he favor the exhibit OF one
man over another. He is to pass On
the relative merits of the animals as
they are brought into the ring
Where rivalry is keen there is fre'
quently some feeling Oh the part OF
some whose favorites may be defeat
ed, but man who has exhibited sew
eral times learns to expect that ne
cannot always win, and does not feel
"sore" at the judge.
The judging ring should be placed
convenient to the pens and should
have smooth, solid floor where the
hogs can be made to walk Or stand
On level surface This enables the
judge to detect any faulty conform
alton of the legs and feet or any
weakness of the back which mlght
be overlooked if the judging were
attempted in a straw. covered pen.
The judge first eliminates those
which have weak Or crooked legs
and weak backs, as such animals are
undesirable for breeding purposes.
From the remaining, he chooses the
one having the largest size, provided
this size is coupled with ample de-
velopment of the valuable parts, such
as hams, loins and back. OF course,
the distinctive breed characteristics
must be taken into consideration.
Every exhibitor has a right to ask
the judge his reasons for making his
decisions, and every Judge is glad to
state his reasons where the questions
are asked in the right spirit. AS a
matter of fact, the judge should ex-
plain to the audience the reasons for
every decision. In no other way can
the community be brought to see and
appreciate the difference between
animals. When they see points upon
which decisions are made, they are
in position to select breeding stock
more intelligentIy. This should be
the aim of every fair. They should
be primarily of educational value, and
the stock judging should occupy q
conspicuous part in the program.

Howell Pugh, of Plaauemine, spoke
of the principles Of the new organl-
zation. He dWelt at length on the
tariff plank of the party, and said he
did not believe any sensible man who
understood the tariff could help but
realize that it is local issue and
should be dealt with by trained
tariff hoard so that the business Of
this country would not be upset at
every presidential election.

TAKING ClLOnEL IS BAD HABIT
So Powerful It Shocks Liver and
Leaves It Weaker Than Before
Dodson's Liver Tone ia Better
to Take.

Nearly everybody who has ever
tried calomel has found that it gives
only temporary relief. For calomel
is such a powerful drug that it shocks
and weakens the liver and makes it
less able afterWard to do its duty
than in the first place.
This is one of the reasons why
the X-Ray Pharmacy guarantees Dod-
sons Liver Tone to take the place
of ealomel Dodson's Liver Tone is
a pure vegetable liver tonic that will
cure constipation quickly and gently,
without any danger of bad after-ef-
fects. It is guaranteed to do this
with guarantee that is simple and
fair If you buy a bottle of Dodson's
Liver Tone for yourself or your chill
dren, and do not find that it perfect
ly takes the place of caloael, then
return to the store where you bought
it and get your money back with a
smile.
