Law Against
Killing Birds

Instructions have been issued by
the Biological Survey in Washing
ton to the district inspector in
Louisiana and Mississippi to re-
port strictly the killing of migrate
ry game birds on and after Feb. l,
which is the closing date of the sea-
son under the Federal regulations.
After that date it will be viola
ton of the law to kill geese, ducks,
coots, rails and snipe, and if the
Federal law is sustained by the

Use PeCans For Shade
Trees

Every farmer of the coastal re.
gion who has not planted pecan
trees is not living up to bis best
opportunities. There is no shade
or lawn tree to he found anywhere
that is handsomer than the pecan
tree, and none that better sets of
farm buildings and makes a place
home like attractive and stable.
But besides being thing of beau
ty, pecan tree is good revenue
producer which will add materially
to farm proceeds. The pecan will
grow on any land of the South tina,
will produce good corn or cotton.
The trees should be set not less
than so feet apart. The wide mid
dies between the rows can be used
to advantage for the raising of a
variety of cultivated crops. The
fertilizer and cultivation given
these intercrops will keep the
pecans in a thrifty and growing
condition. After four or five years
the trees will be showing few
nuts, and by the time they are ten
or twelve years old they will be
able to use all the land and give
paying crops for its use.-The

WAR UPON PAIN!

Pain is a visitor to every home and
usually 1t comes quite Unexpectedly.
But you are prepared for every emergen-
cy il you keep small bottle Of Sloan's
Linimsnt handy. 1t is the greatest pain
killer ever discovered. Simply laid on
the skin-nO rubbing required-it drives
the pasn away. 1t is really wonderful.
Mervin H. Sosier. Berkeley, Cal. writes:
Last Saturday, after tramping around
the Panama Exposition with wet feet. l
came home with my neck so stiff that l
cOnldn't turn. l applied Sloan's Lini-
ment freely and went to bed. To my
surprise next morning the stiffness had
almost disappeared, four hours after the

Discovering Louisiana.

The war has done one blessed
good thing-it has enabled a lot
of people to discover America.
America was unknown to many of
our citizeus before the war broke
out. They were familiar with a
community somewhere in this
country. but they did not know
America. They had read more
about other parts of the country
than their own in the daily papers
or in the magazines, but they
didn't realize, or appreciate Amer
lea. They have literally discov-
cred America. after all of these
years. AS one newspaper puts it:
We are discovering that here is
a land Of untold possibilities, of
almost untouched resources, capa-
bic of producing practically every
thing we need. We are discov-
ering that we have the raw
the brains, the skill and
the everlasting push-and punch
to make America independent of
Europe in an economi sense as
she has been politically for over
a hundred years. We have discov-
cred that London is no longer
the center of the worlds finances.
but that capital has been removed
