MEETING OF SWINE BREEDERS

The annual spring meeting of the
Louisiana Swine Breeders AssOcia-
ton will be held at Utility Farm,
Mound, La, on Thursday April 10Th.
This meeting will be of special in
terest to tn farmers of north
Louisiana, as ST many are going into
the hog business.
There will be program which
will include some Of the best authori-
ties in the United States on hogs as
well as the prominent breeders and
authorities Of our own State.
Utility Farm extends a cordial
invitation TO all those interested tC
attend the meeting and be our guest
that day, we well DO all in our power
to make it pleasant and profitable
and we also feel that the farmers of
north Louisiana, should make it their
meeting and help Us entertain the
visitors from the southern part OF
the state. Heretofore the meetings
have been held in the southern part
Of the state and were largely at.

Utility Farm being one of the
largest hog plants in the south, va;
chosen IS the place to hold the next
meeting, because Of its prominence
in this industry. This farm had the
largest output of any farm in The
state last year, growing out ans
selling as breeders and marketing
over 700 hogs.
The program will commence a
ten O'CLOCK. We hope the farmer.

will cooperate and make this one Of
the Invest meetings ever held.

perhaps produces disadvantages that more
than offsets its benefits.
The business of the world is conducted to
a large extent on credit and the small holder
should be able to use all Of his assets to
assist him in extending his business.
The present direct result of the law IS
that the man with a small farm is denied
the credit to assist in his operations or Sc

THE WIFE'S DOWRY

III There is a law in force in Louisiana
known IS the widows dowry, which pro-
ltlvldes that when man dies leaving widow
land minor children or either, $1,000 of his
state shall be exempt from all debt and
his sum shall be paid to the widow or the
lminor children before any ether claims are
Hpaid. Under the law this right can not be
llwaived or signed away by the wife or minor
gchildren. In our judgment this will be a.
against the operation Of the farm loan act in
4 Louisiana, and the law will have to be
ramended before the Farm Loan Bank can
do business in this state. We think that
1 the law is good and should, by ali means,
remain in force, for it throws safeguard
] around widows and orphans, and in many
/ cases, saves them from actual want and
distress. But the law should be amended.
and that as speedily as possible, so as to
give the wife the privilege Of waving her
dowry in favor Of federal farm loan mort
gage creditor. This would take away every
Objectionable feature Of the law SO far as
the Federal Farm Loan Bank would be con-
cerned in it, and would leave The statute
still in force for the benefit of those who do
not wish to borrow money or waive their
rights. Winfield Times.
The Times expresses the same reuct-
ance to repeal the widows thousand dollar
privilege that is very generally entertained
by the people. Among men who come in
actual contact with conditions resulting
from this exceptional privilege granted the
widow there has always been more Or less
doubt as to whether or not it operates as a
benefit or as detriment to the family. Of
course in those exceptional cases in which
the widow is left destitute the application
of its provisions are unquestiOnably wise
and humane. On the other hand the innu-

The newspapers publish an account Of
activity by German agents in the south, the
purpose of which is to arouse the negroes
against the government. The probability
is that the whole matter is nothing more
than a rumor. The work Of the German
agent and the German spy in the United
States is exaggerated to the point Of the
ridiculous. Our grievances against Germany
due to the real situation is serious enough,
without the manufacture of sensational
stories.

The military expert of the London Pos

The military expert of the London Post
asserts that the European war has demon
strated the necessity for change Of military
tactics in regard to the relation Of the officer
to the soldier In short it is claimed that
individual initiative must to large extent
take the place of the heretofore accepted
theory Of absolute obedience On the part Of
the soldier The idea now is to educate the
soldier to use discretion to accomplish an
end rather than make Of him a woodenmar-
nillin.

There is widespread feeling of distrust
of the German-Amcricans in the United
States due, in q large measure, to the sensa-
tional accounts published in the daily press.
The American people are too fair-minded to
permit these unfounded reports to influence
them against these unfortunate residents.
1t is natural that the men of German blood
should sympathize with the fatherland and
no one should complain unless they commit
some overt act against this government g.
In connection with this subject it may be
well to cali attention to the conduct of the
Germans residing in Canada since the QUO
break Of the war. The Canadian govern
ment has had but little trouble with the
German element and has found it necessary
to intern only a small proportion Of the
German residents. The Germans in Canada
bear about the same proportion to the popu-
lation Of Canada as they bear in the United
States.
