RABBI KRAUSKOPF PRAISES
THE FORD PEACE VOYAGE

Praise for the peace trip of Henry Ford
and party was uttered by Rabbi kraus-
kopf In his sermon in Keneseth Israel
Temple yesterday. He said he was CON
WINGED that the mission would fail, but
praised the ideals and purposes which
animated Mr.. Ford in undertaking the
trip.
"I would a thousand times rather he
failure as peace apostle" he said, than
the most brilliant success as an advocate
Of war; or as a maker of ammunition Tor
personal gain. I would thousand times
rather be branded a fool in the service
Of humanity than he hailed as n hero for
having shed rivers of blood

mittee. The entertainment committee
reported hat the Knights of Macca-
bees had decided to come to Wild
wood 10 a special train from P~ittsburg
on July % for a two weeks encamp-
ment. Hotel keepers who are desir-
GUS of bidding for the feeding of these
people should see City Clerk Whitesell.
Mr.. Diamond informed the board that
he wonld be glad to distribute Wild
wood booklets while he was travelling
In Pennsylvania aud New Jersey. A
committee of five were appointed TO
arrange for a luncheon and smoker and
consisted of Messrs. King, Laning, Kay,
McMurray and Reeves.
The statement ofeMr. Norton appear
ing above to the effect that the local
rapers receive about $4,000 per year
from the city Is not quite true. The
papers did receive that amount for adj
vertising and job work In 1918, but the
large amount for that year was due to
the many tax sales made necessary by
the Encouragement ofthe old Borough
of Holly Beach by Mayor Frank e.
Smith, which held no tax sale for
several years prior TO consolidation.
This neglect, and we might say wilful
neglect, resulted in the piling up of an
enormous amount of unpaid taxes and
assessments. In the year 1914 there
was but $l388.53 paid the local news
papers for advertising and job work, of
which amount the Tribune received
$l021.78, and the Journal $316.80. Mr..
Norton has consistently knocked the
local newspapers for years at the
Board Of Trade meetings, arguing that
they should exploit the schemes of the
board for nothing. In this attitude
he seems to stand alone, and we do
not recall another single member of
the Board of Trade or citizen who takes
such delight in rapping the local news
papers. He can't seem to understand
that every line Of type In a newspaper
coses the publisher money.

cabbage is worth SIG per ton,
corn is worth 81 per bushel;
hay is worth SIG to 500 per
ton; these prices net cash at the
track, and buyers clamOring for
them at the price. Yet more
of these crops were grown last
season than ever before in this
section. In fact this is the
first season We have grown more
crops that we could use right
here at home. Is there an Iowa
or Illinois farmer who cannot
appreciate what such a market
means?
And the land. As said, the
famous old Teche is the centre
line of the parish. Its imme-
date banks, except for lOw-ly-
ing hills in the southwest, are
the highest lands in the parish.
The Teche never OverhOws.

NO RUINOUs FLOOD.
There are lands in the parish
that overflow in exceptional
years but there are no such
floods as recur annually in the
valleys of the Mississippi, Ohio
and Missouri rivers. So far as
known, no human being evel
lost his life from flood in this

line of the Frisco runs Just
above it's northern boundary.
Branch lines of these roads ira
verse the parish from north to
south, and one of the principal
Southern Pacific divisions crosses
the centre of the parish from
east to west.
On the east the parish is
bounded by the Atchafalaya RI
yer, natural, deep water
stream, carrying an immense
river traffic. The wOrld-famOus
Teche, navigable its full length,
runs southerly through the
centre of the parish. Literally
there is not a spot in the parish
over five miles from river land
ing or railroad shipping point
There is not a spot that has not
two competing points of ship
ment within five miles.
That indicates a good market
does it not? There has always
been ample market for the stan
dard crops of the section, cot
ton rice, and sugar cane. There
is today fierce competition fo1
every one of the newer crops
corn, potatoes, hay, cabbage
ETC., that are now being grown
in a small way.

parish.
Yet it is well to take the pos
sibility of overflow into account
in purchasing lands here.
Where it comes it makes mas
ty dooryard. 1t may even
drown few hogs or calves for
you. Almost surely it will de-
lay the planting of your crops
in the spring, or it may destroy
completely some winter crop.
Lands subject to overflow are
not worth as much as other
lands. You should at least
know what you are getting. A
man who buys land anywhere
without seeing is a bad gambler.
WET LAND EASILY DRAINED.
And do not confuse overflow
lands with those that are simply
badly drained. You can con-
troll your own drainage if that
is all the matter, but you can
not control overhows. That is
a community or government un-
dertaking. You will have nj
difficulty in finding out which
is which if you make any half

Wherefore, for the first time
