Publishers Hit Hard.

Of all the industries which have
been hit hard in the United States as
the result of the European war, the
newspapers and printing concerns
probably have been the most affected
by increased prices. Paper houses
type houses, ink and linotype metal
concerns have Withdrawn all standing
quotations, and the prices of these
commodities are changing daily-Iike
the grain and stock markets.
This is due to the scarcity and ex-
.ceedingly high prices of dyes and 9TH
er materials used in paper manu-
facture, and the high price of ores.
It is no longer possible to. contract
for white" newspaper. Eve cannot
promise to ship you white paper a
salesman told US recently, but we
will give you the whitest we have. /"
That accounts for the yellowish hue
which is appearing of late in many of
the newspapers in this section of the
country. These papers are using up
the last of their old supplies of
news print and the new shipments
nearly Invariably have the yellowish
tint, due to the absence of what paper
men call bleach"
Linotype metal has increased in
year from between So and SO a hun
dred pounds to nearly s13-and
hundred pounds looks like mere

PLANTERS TO BE SHOWN.
Invited TO Inspect Iberia Live Stock
Experiment Farm April A.

/ -
In order to give planters, and any
others who may be interested, an OPP
portunity to inspect the equipment,
live stock and crops of the iberia live
stock experiment farm, and especial
lily to examine the cattle in the feeding
tests before they are shipped to mar
ket next month, it has been decided
to hold a visitors day on April 4.
The appropriation for the establish
ment of a live stock experiment farm
in the cane and cotton districts of
the south became available a little
more than a year ago.. Since then a
great deal of time has been occupied
in the organization of forces, the in
stallation of the equipment, and the
construction of buildings. While this
preliminary work has been under way,
time has been found to make a few
practical tests that are of interest to
sugar planters. These tests include
comparative work records of brood
mares and mules, also the costs to
date of rearing mule colts when the
usual feeds available on the farm are
used.
In addition to this, there are now
on feed six lots of steers. One Of
these lots is fed cane top silage and
cotton seed meal; the other lots all re-
ceive a daily feed of different silages
with cotton seed meal, including corn,
sorghum, corn and sorghum, etc The
purpose of this test is to compare the
value of cane tops as a feed with
other silages. While it has been found
that there is more to learn in respect
to the ensiling and feeding of cane.
tops, the results SO far have been
sufficiently encouraging to lead to the
belief that cane tops will ultimately
become standard silage in the cane
producing district.
There will be no speaking, but sew
eral experts will be present to answer
questions and explain results. Prof.
W. R. Dodson, director of Louisiana
experiment stations, and the mem
bers of the live stock extension staff,
as well as many others prominent in
agricultural and live stock lilsss, will
be on hand. Aiss
The farm can be reached from New
Iberia and Jeanerette by the interur-
ban railroad.

NOTABLE MESSAGE EXPECTED.
Great Commoner to Deliver Address
at New Orleans April 20.

Hon. William Jennings Bryan vii
hasten from the Nebraska primaries
in which his brother is candidate
for governor, to speak to the South
ern Conference for Education ant
| Industry at New Orleans on TIKI
evening of April 20. Mr.. Bryan;
message at that time may prove tx
be the most momentous in all his
career. He is going to New Orleans
/ because he recognizes the Southern
! Conference as one of the great
forums of the country. With an au-
dience made up of agricultural, IN
dustrial, educational and religious
leaders from every section of the
south, the vital power Of his message
goes straight to the whole people.
This unique audience is due to the
meeting of number of organizations
in close proximity: the Southern So
Geological Congress, the Southern In
dustrial Council, the Southern Agri-
cultural Association, the Conference
of Church and Sunday School Work
ers, the Conference of Southern Wo-
men, together with Conferences of
School and College Workers, each
graphing with a specific phase of
southern development. All these
bodies unite in ten great mass meet
ings at which the effort is to get at
the undertakings upon which all
forces shall unite.
The New Orleans gathering comes
at the time of the greatest upheaval
the world has eyer known since the
Roman empire went to pieces before
the German onslaughts in the fifth
century. The first evening of the
conference will be devoted to the
lessons of the war, to be set forth
by such leaders as j. II. Phillips of
Alabama, E. A. Alderman of Virginia,
President Goodnow of Johns Hopkins
University, and j. L. McBrien of the
National Bureau of Education. 1t is
planned that on another evening five
or six of the editors of our greatest
dailies will tell what they think the
united forces of the south ought to
undertake in the next decade. On an
other evening, a group of governors
will chart the southern path as they
see it leading out through the I'M
certainties of this convulsed time.
AS a climax to all, the great com
moner whom the south has followed
in heroic struggles will open up
possibility which if worked out will
mark the beginning of new era in
the history of all the Americas, in
which the south will be a command
ing factor.

BRIDGE PLANS COMPLETED.
Baton Rouge Report Says Work will
Begin Within Six Months

Complete plans for the proposed
bridge across the Mississippi river at
Baton Rouge, costing S4,o00,O00
have been received by the capital city
law firm of Laycock & Beale, attor-
Ineys for the bridge company, and it
is said construction work will be
|started within the next six months.
Congressman Morgan is making an
effort to secure immediate passage by
the house of the bill authorizing the
construction of the bridge. A Times
Picayune special of March II says:
Representative Morgan's bill, pro-
viding for an extension of time for
the construction of bridge over the
Mississippi at Baton Rouge, was
changed Thursday to the unanimous
consent calendar of the house. Mr..
Morgan made this change after as
certaIning that no opposition to his
measure is probable. The standing
Of the house bill has been materially
improved by the passage Of the meas
ure IN the senate. Senator Ransdell
introduced copy Of Mr.. Morgan's
bill IN the senate and succeeded in
getting it through.
Mr.. Morgan has been assured by
Modleski & Angler of Chicago, the
consulting engineers, that every prob
ability favors the completion of the
structure within the six-year limit.
The main bridge will be 3O86 feet
long. There will be four piers. The
span will be so feet above the low
water level. The exact point Of loca-
ion has not been determined, but the
general geology at Baton Rouge IS
'uch that no difficulty is anticipated
n findlng a suitable formation which
vii support the heavy structure at or
rear the most convenient point.

Captain Bob. 2

As a special attraction the Grand
will offer next Saturday, April s,
Captain Bob of the National Guard.
a four-part story of love and intrigue
featuring Robert R. Reynolds, author,
photoplayWright, actor, director, lee
turer, traveller, adventurer, journal
list, athlete, broneo-buster, racing
driver, soldier, seaman and all-around
soldier of fortune.
Captain Bob commands a troop of
cavalry in the National Guard. He is
in love with Muriel Cox, daughter of
John Cox, millionaire mill owner and
unfriendly to the National Guard or
CARNATIONS. Paul Dunbar, secretary
to Cox, aspires to the hand of Muriel
Cox. Cox seeks to have the guard
disbanded and to that end he appeals
to the governor, who takes the matter
under Amusement. A manufacturer
opposed to the interests of Cox seeks
to ruin the business of his opponent;
he secures the services of Dunbar,
who betrays his employer, Cox. A
strike is brought about. Captain
Bob is confined to jail, having been
held there pending hearing for an
assault made on Dunbar. Muriel
learns of Bob's confinement and SEE
cures pardon for him. Then fol-
lows a thrilling succession of military
maneuvers, automobile races, dyna-
hitting of bridge, daredevil rescuing
feats and a half hundred thrills which
depict the strength Of the National
Guard
This production is unique in every
detail in that the scenario was writ
ten, the play directed and the leading
role portrayed by one and the same
person, to-wit: Captain Robert r.
Reynolds.

TICK ERADICATION DAY.
School Children to Be Told of DAM
age Done BY Cattle Pest.

Gov Hall has issued proclama-
ton designating Thursday, April 20,
as ''Tick Eradication Day." and di-
recting that teachers in the public
schools of the state devote one hour
Of that day to instructing their pu-
pills on the subject of the damage
done by the cattle tick, and the meth
DDS by which the destructive pest can
be eradicated. The proclamation fol-
lows:
Whereas, the eradication of the
cattle tick in the tick infested dis
tricts of Louisiana would be of vast
economic benefit to the state; and
Whereas, the progress of the work
| is being impeded to great extent
through indifference on the part Of
the people, due presumably to a lack
of knowledge as to the Importance Of
the work and of the necessary meth
DDS to be employed; and
Whereas, it is desirable that the
boys and girls Of the state should re-
ceive instruction with reference to the
matter, to the end that interest may
be aroused among them as well as
among the people of the several COM
munities.
Now, therefore, I, Luther E. Hall,
governor of the state of Louisiana, do
hereby issue this my proclamation des-
ignating Thursday, the twentieth day
of April, 1916, as Tick Eradication
Day, and request and direct that all
teachers in the public schools of the
state devote the hour between 2 p. m.
and 3 p. m. of said day to the in
struction of their pupils as to the i'm
portance of the eradication of the cat
tie tick, and the methods by which
the work can be successfully conduct
ed, special cards Of instruction to be
forwarded to them by the superintend-
ent of public education. request
furthermore that the patrons of the
schools and all others in the several
communities assemble at the school
houses and cooperate with the teach
ers and children in1an effort to stimu-
late interest in the Inauguration of an
energetic campaign throughout the
state for the eradication Of the tick
| request also the press of the state
to lend its great aid and influence to
the movement, by publication of ar
ticles bearing upon the subject mat
ter, and in every other way possible.
