ing rival, and King Corn is rapidly
extending his empire over the whole
state.
Under the one-erop system that
has ruled Louisiana during her whole
history, little attention has been paid
to the raising of corn, and millions
of dollars have been sent north an
nually for the purchase of this cereal.
But with the introduction of scien-
tific seed selection and improved
methods of cultivation, the produe-
tion of corn has increased of late by
leaps and bounds, last years crop
having reached a total of so million
bushels as compared with a quarter
of a million less than five years ago.
Another industry that has taken
hold of the people of this section is
that of raising live stock. Hogs and
cattle will soon be on the wide
stretches of every farm in southern
Louisiana. There are few sections
of country in the United States that
are better adapted to the aaising Of

Ford Wires Message to Heads
of European Nations.
WAR NOT THE SOLUTION
Says Sixteen Months of Conflict Has
Proven That Bloodshed Cannot
Solve Problem and Requests Chance
for Mediation and Discussion.

New York, Dec. l4.-From the peace
ship Oscar H., now approaching Chris.
tiania, Henry Ford has wireessed
peace appeal to all European rulers
The message follows:
Sire; We come In this time of trou-
BILE, not to add TO your burdens, but
TO help lift them, not TO consider
which nations are most TO blame for
the disaster that has befalen Europe.
but TO end the strife; not to intrude
ourselves upon your national life and
national ideals, but rather with an
earnest desire to understand them and
a heartfelt desire to aid in realizing
them.
The love OF country for which ey.
cry day tens of thousands Of lives are
sacitced is the same in every land
Your nation, like the people of all the
other belligerent countries, is fighting
for its best national traditions. and
so there can be no irreconcilable diff
terences. Such common ideals surely
must afford basis upon which to es-
tablish a magnanimous and honorable
peace.
THE men and women of your coun.
try and OF all the warning countries
have proved their loyalty. Enough
blood has been shed, enough agony
endured and enough destruction
wrought. The time has come to stop
the bloodshed, to save the people from
further slaughter and the civilization
of the world from anarchy and ruin.
War Not the Solution.
Has not war been tried enough BY
sixteen months of fighting? Is it not
problem. but that 1t leads only to loss
and Misery Must more lives be
crushed and more wives and mothers
he bereaved before we realize Europe
is bleeding to death and the wound
must be stanched?
The rising desire of the people in
neutral nations TO convert a barren
disinterestedness into good will has
prompted citizens of the United
States of America to sail for Europe
on the steamship Oscar II. with the
serious purpose Of joining with the
citizens of the European neutral ma
tions in an organized effort to help
restore peace upon an honorable and
Just basis, to facilitate direct negotia
tions between you and the other war
ring nations
We neutrals are about to join in q
conference which shall without delay
form and submit TO you and all the
other belligerent nations proposals as
basis simultaneously for discussion
leading to the final settlement.
Therefore we do earnestly entreai
you and the rulers of all the Other
warning nations TO declare an immedi

Do You Read Labels?

Domestic science teachers and
food authorities are urging the
housewife TO carefully read the
labels on all food articles.
The laws of most States compel
food manuf acturers to print the
ingredients OF their products
on the label, and this enables
consumers to dist inguish health
full foods from those which may be
delet erious.
High-grade baking powders are
made of pure cream of tartar,
derived from grapes. Royal Bak-
ing Powder is type of the highest
grade. It is hea1thful beyond a
doubt and the safest and best
to use.
The 1ow-grade baking powders
are made from alum, mineral
acid salt, or phosphate Of lime.
Consumers can learn the char
acter of the baking powder by
referring to the label, which
must state whether the contents
include cream OF tartar, alum or
phosphate.

Suddenly the two men closed, surged
