A War-Made Opportunity.

The war in Europe is emphasizing
opportunities which Galveston and
the coast country as well as all of the
Texas towns, cities and communities
should grasp and utilize Through the
daily consular reports it is learned
that great demand has developed
in the Latin American countries for
American foodstuffs, cotton goods
and other manufactured products
since the beginning. Of the European
war. Many Of the articles much in
demand in those countries could be
grown and manufactured on the farms
and in the towns and cities Of the
coastal plains as well as elsewhere in
Texas, and the trans Mississippi coun.
try for which the port Of Galveston
offers the natural gateway to the sea.
Among the articles in demand in
the Latin Americas which could and
ought to be produced and supplied
from the coast country and other sec.
tions of the state are rice, corn
flour, sugar, syrup, salt and canned
meats, canned goods, milk, butter,
cheese, cotton cloth, cotton goods,
beans, potatoes, etc. There is also
an extensive demand for cement. Al
these and other articles for which
there is demand could be raised OF
manufactured within Galveston's s com
mercial zone of influence.-Galvest

canada,s Beers are Smaller.

Notwithstanding the fact that the
brewers and distillers advanced the
prices of beers and domestic liquors
in accordance with the war tax levied
by the government, the executives OF
the Toronto Hotel Keepers Associa-
ton unanimously agreed to make no
alterations in the schedule of prices
for beers and WHISTLES manufactured
in Canada to consumers.
The only change made was in the
size of glasses used for draft beer,
the association agreeing that a 10
ounce glass be used in the future in
stead of II and 12-ounce glasses,
which have been utilized almost ex-
clusive1y in hotels outside the down
town district.
The prices of domestic Whiskies,
fifteen cents straight for case goods
and ten cents for draft goods, will
remain in vogue as in the past, with
no change in the price of draft Scotch
whiskey, while the minimum price
for Scotch case goods will be fifteen
cents straight. The price for domes-
tic will be fifteen cents straight for
pints and twenty-five cents for quarts
of ale, lager and porter.-Toronto

No Natural Law Operating Here.

perhaps those persons who have
maintained that the recent sharp ad-
vance in the prices Of foodstuffs and
the necessaries of life were brought
about by the operation of the natural
law of supply and demand, may be
able to offer some satisfactory ex-
planation Of the following incident,
editorially reported by the New Or
leans States in its issue of Sept. 5:
"A gentleman from north Louisiana
brings this from the little parish seat
in which he lives:
-. ere u butcher. So
also there IS village shoemaker. .
'.The butcher has been shipping
his hides to a Louisiana city for
sale. Since the war broke out he
has received a letter telling him
that, if he wished, he might continue
to do SO, but the war has destroyed
the market, the demand for hides is
small, the prices will be low
''The shoemaker has also received
a letter. 1t came from ST. Louis,
where he gets his supplies, and it
told him that owing to the fact that
fanatic had killed an archduke and
all the great powers We're at each
others throat about it, there had
been a sharp advance III the price of
hides.
Some such case like this must
have led President Wilson to order
his probe to determine whether the
sudden rise Of prices in America was
due to the war or whether the war
had merely been made to serve as an
excuse for bleeding the consumer.
"We printed telegram yesterday
telling Of the indictment of some
thirty-six persons in Washington for
artificially raising the price of food
stuffs. The effect of the war will
undoubtedly be eventually to force
up prises in this country. But if the
federal probe is handled with any
sort of skill, it will be pretty sure
to reveal a good many cases like
the one related by the gentleman
from north Louisiana, wherein the
rise at this time is shown to be due
to cold-blooded selfishness rather
than to necessity"

chants, bankers and business men

The Proper Medium Tor Publicity.

If a member of your family died,
would you print the obituary on a
billboard? If your wife entertained,
would you send an account Of it to
the theatre program man? # you
were to enlarge your business, Wotsid
you advertise it in hotel register?
If you were going to have a wedding
in your family, would You get out a
handful? You would send such items
to a newspaper, wouldn't you? Then,
why don't you put your advertisement
in newspaper? Every man who
uses billboard is adding to nature
taking. The newspapers build your
town. Why not help build up the
newspaper? There is nc better adVer
tisement in the world for a town
than a good newspaper. The news

STILL BOOSTING LOUISIANA.
Farm Editors Praise State in Per-
sonaI Letters to Prospective Set
tler-AlI impressed with Posi-
oiities of Soil ard Climate.
New Orleans Times-Picayune.

The farm editors who toured Lou
islana few months ago are doing
more than their share in helping the
state with which they We're SO much
impressed. All of them have written
and are continuing to print articles
about the wonders OF Louisiana, but
the more they write the more they
are called upon to confirm the i'm.
presslons they create among their
readers.
H. L. Lea of Moline, ILL.,, was one
OF the farmers who became interest
ed in the stories and he promptly
wrote to one of the land companies
for terms and information. The firm
sent him what he asked, and at the
same time suggested that he make
inquiries of any of the editors who
had been on the tour. He accepted
the advice by writing to all, and the
replies give a concrete idea of what
they are saying ouside of their col
umnS.
Mr.. Lea says that Alison G. Secor
of Successful Farming answered that
Louisiana land is adapted to corn
and stock.
E. w. Beatty of Quincy, H., told
him that there is nothing in the
north, even at two or three hundred
dollars an acre, that can compare
with the fifty to a hundred-dollar
land in this state. Also that a man
having ten acres here can become
independent in a few years.
Fred L. Petty, Farm and Home,
Chicago, considers reclaimed lands
best, deems health conditions good,
says he never saw such crops be-
fore, and that northerners have the
advantage of being able to raise the
crops to which they are accustomed.
The heat, while oppressive, is not
severe
A. C. Brokaw, Minneapolis Tribune,
says two Or three crops a year can
be raised. Citrus fruits are good.
He advises against penniless men To-
eating here, however.
T. M. Kingsbury, Indiana Farmer,
also declares that he had never seen
such land of inexhaustible fertility
The only objections he could find
were the long warm spell, and the
ptfCILS VI uldEhGL CULUltlO1S =1dT
away from New Orleans. But he
added that the utilization of the
many waterways would obviate the
latter objection.
H. E. Young, Farmers Review, Of
Chicago, was greatly impressed by
the possibilities of. the soil, especial
" near New Orleans. He saw corn
thai would make seventy to eighty
bushels, and fifteen to twenty tons
of silage, and that was the second
crop. It was impossible for north
erner to fully grasp the possibilities
for corn and stock. The health con-
ditions were as good as anywhere,
and doctors assured him that their
business was bad in this state. Mr..
Young. in addition to being an editor
is a professor at the Illinois Agricul-
tural College.
It is needless. to add that Mr.. Lea
will settle in Louisiana, and that he
did not wait TO hear from the rest
of the journalists.

Planted Potatoes Between Cane
Rows.

An Italian farmer near Plaquemine
this year marketed 80 bushels Of
Irish potatoes per acre grown in be-
tween rows Of sugar cane, says the
Louisiana Planter. He planted one
row Of potatoes between each two
rows of cane. Growing only one-half=
the plants possible, his potato crop
netted him $48 per acre, more than
enough to pay for the cultivation of
his cane crop. His cane looked bet
ter than that in nearby fields de-
voted exclusively to cane culture. His
potato crop was grown during the six
months between cane cutting and the
time when the succeeding cane crop
began to draw largely upon the soil
