their Thanksgiving dinner.
And yet we can produce
turkeys more cheaply than the
farmers of Tennessee and
Texas are able to do it.
Can't we be farmers in
1915, and produce a half
million turkeys for next
Thanksgiving Day? The
Agricultural College of the
Louisiana State University
which, by the way, the farmers
of Louisiana ought to require
to be endowed with at least
million dollars for permanent
buildings, equipment and
grounds, has just added a
scientific poultry man to its
staff. He would be a good.
man for Southwest Louisiana
to keep in touch with.
In her citrus fruits South
west Louisiana possesses an
other mine of wealth of
fabulous possibilities. Louis
lana produces oranges the
quality and. flavor of which
excel those of any grown else
where in the United States,
and Southwest Louisiana can
produce them as cheaply as
they can be grown in Cal
ifornia or Florida.

can be obtained; if unable to
hold them feed them mixed

Three Games Out of Five.

The crack foot ball team of the
Abbeville high school, went to
New Iberia last Saturday for a
game with the boys there. They
were unable to win the game,
owing to the fact that the game
played only three quarters, on ac-
count of lateness. The score at
the time stood Is to 6 in favor oof
New Iberia. No doubt had the
game been finished our boys
would have returned home
victorious.

Mr.. Richard roped the runaway,
his horse stumbled or slipped, and

Some Southwest
ern Reflections

How did you enjoy your
East Tennessee bred Turkey
on Thanksgiving? You prob
ably "bawled out" your green
grocer for "robbing" you
because he charged you $3.50
or $500 for it. Did you count
among the things to be thank
full for the fact that upwards
to half a million dollars of
good Louisiana money had to
be sent to Tennessee to buy
what you could have produced
at a greater profit than the
Tennessee farmers realized on
these turkeys.
And then another half mil
lion dollars will go to East
Tennessee farmers for Christ
man turkeys. and perhaps
still another half million for
New Years dinners. And
still we tell the world we have
progressive farmers in South
west Louisiana. Men, breth-
ern---and sister suffragettes
too---how are we going to
square these facts with our
loud claims?
Two or three years ago
Texas farmers modified a
great army of many thousands
of turkeys and the Governor
of the State headed the herds
men who drove them into San
Antonio to be prepared for
shipment to Western Markets.
If enterprising lovers of peace
should attack the embattled
armies in Northern France
and Belgium on Thanksgiving
Day with a hundred thousand
fat turkey cocks ready for the
spit, both armies would
capitulate for a day at least.
But if these patriots de-
pended upon Southwest
Louisiana to furnish the peace
offerings in the shape of fat
turkeys, how long would the
poor soldiers have to wait for

FIRST WAR BETWEEN
ENGLAND AND GERMANY

The AnglO-German conflict that
has just begun is the first war that
has ever been fought between Eng
land and Germany, or between Eng
land and any part of Germany.
Great Britain has often been the
ally OF Prussia, the backbone of the
present German Empire, but never
her enemy. England lent Prussia
valuable aid during the seven years
war OF l756-l763. and helped her
again during the war OF liberation
against Napoleon Prussian and
English troops fought side by side
in the battle OF Waterloo, and
marched into Paris together several
weeks later. II is true that during
this conflict Saxony. German
State siding with Napoleon. was
technically considered at war with
England. but no actual clash be-
tween the forces OF these two coun-
tries ever occurred. The last time
that Englishmen and Germans
fought as allies was during the Box
er instruction in China, thirteen
years ago.
Until well after the accession of
Emperor William H., France. and
not Germany, was regarded as Eng
lands arch enemy. II was the Kali
sers aggressive naval policy that
antagonized John Bull. That wary
old gentleman soon became suspic-
ious of the upstart navy which his
Teuton neighbor was constructing,
and from that moment on the tradi-
tional Anglo-German friendship, be-
came a thing of the past.
