CHOA1E'S TRIBUTE To

Editor.

to Great Britain in the McKin.
ley and Roosevelt administra-
tions, an ex-president of the
American Bar Association, and
long a leader of the American
bar, and a leading Republican,
writing in the Review of Re-
views for January. 1915, paid
high tribute TO Wilson'S admin
istration's policies growing out
Of the war. He said:
If we can maintain our neu-
trality and keep out of this war
and at the same time prove our
selves friendly to all the nations
engaged in it-as | think we
shall under the wise and prudent
conduct of President Wilson
United States will, | believe, not
only be called into consultation
By the var. ing ra.iors. when
they ere no longer able to keep
up the fight, but will practically
be able 10 dictate the terms Of
peace b,tween them, one Of
which must, If possible, be an
effectual guarantee against any
future outbreak OF the horrible
spirit of militarism which has
caused the present war.
And ] am encouraged in this
belief by reading the recent
message Of President Wilson and
the annual reports of the Secre-
taries of War and of the Navy,
which, taken together, appear
to show a steadfast determine.
tion on the part Of our Federal
Government to have US prepared
always for effecual self.defense,
which is a necessary condition
Of our national existence.
"0f course. the end Of this
war will see US by far the mos,
powerful nation in the world
and If the policy pointed out b,
Secretary Daniels is pursued, W,
shall perhaps in the fullness O
time become ourselves the mis-
tress of the seas without incur
ing hostility or attack from an,
nation. and shall be the grea
factor of preserving universe
/ peace.
Commenting editorially on Mr.
Choate's letter, the editor o
the Review of Reviews says:
Surely, there is no more ap
proved friend of internationa
peace in our country than tn
Hon. Joseph II. Choate. Rea,
then, what he writes in thi
number of the Review on ou
need of efficient means Of nation
al defense. He is in perfec
agreement with what Presiden
Wilson has set forth in his mes
sage to Congress of December s
For our part, President Wilson
words seem statesmanlike an
noble. They are wholly compat
ible with strict and efficient al
tention TO the business of gettin
the best results out Of the vas
expenditures for army and nav

WASHINGTON PARISH
CLUB RALLY,

of their visit while here among
us.
To close without saying some
thing about how very kind the
automobile owners of this towr
were in taking all of the visitor:
on a joy ride, would be commit
ing ii great injustice to these pub
lie spirited people. This was
sight that will always be remem'
bered by both joy riders and on
lockers; as to see eighteen fine
cars spinning along our streets
and beautiful puplic roads, with
one accord-to show that every
one of them were in hearty co.
operation with the great cause of
club work in our parish, and were
willing to give our visitors the
incest time possible while they
were in our midst.
The two drug stores and other
cold drink stands in town deserve
our praise also for giving the club
members free drinks while they
were here, which within itself was
a great treat to them.
In conclusion, l wish to state
that our good superintendent, D.
H. Springfield, and farm demon.
strator, ]. V. Rabbi, did every.
teing in their power to assist in
making this club short course a
striking success. Now, in behalf
of all the club members, wish to
express their sentiments by say.
ing that they enjoyed the hospi-
tally of the good people Of our
liberal little city, and I feel that
the club work of this parish is on
a boom now and that we will have
great results from these future
farmers of Washington Parish. |

Yours very truly,

On Friday and Saturday, July
% and 20, the best club rally in
the state was held at Franklinton
for the benefit of the eighty club
members of Washington Parish
who spent the two days here at
tending the lectures upon poultry
raising, cotton and corn culture,
forage crops for hogs, canning
and tomato raising, and other in.
teresting subjects along agricul-
tural lines.
Prof. P. L. Guilbeau, of the
Extension Force of Baton Rouge,
stated that the club short course
held here was better than those
held in other sections of the state.
1t was indeed a great pleasure to
those who had worked 80 earnest
ly to make this course a success
to receive such a favorable report
from those in authority, and we
feel sure that the great influence
of these meetings upon the vari-
Gus club members will result in
more and better exhibits at our
parish fair this fall. The enthus.
iasm and splendid club spirit that
was aroused during this little
short course will be the means of
our boys and girls doing some of
the best club work in the state. |
When the boys and girls ar
rived here Friday morning, the
very hospitable people of Frank
linton welcomed them with wide |
open doors and gave them free
entertainment during their entire
stay in our little city; and judy
ing by the pleasant smiles and
remarks made by the club mem.
bers, our good town people may
rest assured that their kindness
was more than appreciated, az
each boy and girl will always
have the sweetest remembrances

Heat Wave Ends at Chicago;

Chicago, July 31,-The end of

The record. breaking death rate
of the last week has seriously
tested the facilities OF the coro-

have taxed the Accommodations OF
local hospitals and burdened the
city's physicians to the limit. The
high mortality among infants has
been the most distressing phase
of the situation. Upwards of 80
babies were reported to have sue
cumbed yesterday.
Among animals the death rate
has almost established a record.

being carried on most success.
fully in a large number of parish
es in Louisiana, Women's Home
Demonstration work, which is the
result Of the growth Of the girls
work, is creating much interest
and enthusiasm in the same par
ishes. The aim of this work,
striven for in many ways is ulti.
mately to reach the homes, to
beautify and improve conditions
and to help in every vital way to
make life in the country more
liveable and to make life on the
farm attractive to our girls.
The Girls Canning Clubs are a
means of instructing the girls in
the cultivation of vegetables in a
garden of their own and the can
ming and preserving of their pro-
ducts. The putting up of other
produce on the farm IS also
learned and this forms good
foundation of supplies for the
pantry and makes it possible to
introduce proper methods Of cook
ing and preparation Of these and
other foods for the table. Mar.
keting Of ths girls products is
another important phase Of the
work and teaches them business
ways and methods. 1t is re.
markable with how much interest
the girls take up the work and
how this interest grows to an en-
thusiasm which is passed on to
others, who, in turn, are eager to
begin the work.
The attention of the women of
the community is soon commend
ed and we find them eager to do
work of a like nature. From this
interest Home Demonstration
Work is begun, The construction
of many valuable labor saving
devices for tbs home brings into
play the ingenuity and economy
of the housewife and impresses
upon her how much Of value can
be made from what she already
has without much further ex-
pense. Discussions and practical
demonstrations of foods and their
proper combination are a few of
the points which we stress in our
work,
In short, all that has to do with
good home making is of vital in
terest to US and is the heart of
our work. We are passing this
interest on to those with whom
they move and live,
Girls Canning Club Work is
organized in Is of the southern
states, and Louisiana, we are
proud to say, is one of them.
There are 18parisbes in this state
now organized and more are
awaiting their turn to begin the

of the finest in the state, has be-
gun the work on a small scale

see fit to continue it by meeting

Rob ertson. chief of the imperial staff, and Admiral Sir John E. JellicOe, first sea lord.
 The question of the resignation of Premier Asquith to give place for David Lloyd George or Andrew Bonar Law. also Is discussed, but that Mir. Asquith win resign appears improb- able.
 The premier had q long audience with the king today. which furnished basis for the afternoon papers 10 predict his resignation. He said h. would consult with the king as s mat ter of course, over any important gov ernment changes.
 war council was formed in the cabinet last year. but the minimum number of five. which Mir Asquith then announced. has been exceeded. and the popular impression Is that the council has been largely a failure because it's decisions were subject to debate and ratification by the full cabinet.
