There are a number of things that
could be done by federal, state and
municipal authorities to encourage en-
listments in the army. For example,
assurance could be given that when
the war is over. men who have served
their country in war shall have pref
erence in public employment in time
of peace. This could not be carried to
the extent of giving such men a prior
right, but service with the colors in
war should be a very material factor

won't get so mussed up anymore. He
says, always have one small drawer
for odds and ends In this drawer
goes everything that doesn't seem to
belong anywhere else. He usually
takes this drawer out every month

ARMY EXAMINATION SAVES
LIFE

/ Little Rock, Ark. Dec. 3.-The
rigid examination Camp Pike physi
clans give men before they are &C.
cepted or rejected by the National
Army has saved many a life. 1t
has uncovered defects in the physi-
cal development Of many men who
supposed themselves perfect. II
has sent E:any others to sanitariums
or resorts where they might be
treated for ailments Of which they
were unaware. Many men, with tu-
berculosis in the incipient stages,
have been informed of their misfor-
tune. Had they not gone before
the army physicians it is probable
that the disease would have been
well advanced before it was discov-
cred, and the chance for recovery
gone.
Few men reporting at Camp Pike
do not carry life insurance, and
practically everyone rejected by the
army physicians has been passed
for insurance. This shows how
much more thorough the examina-
ton is.
"This life is the salvation of the
men who have been working in Of
fices", remarked drafted man at
Camp Pike. ut takes out the kink
in the back, and makes leather lungs
where there was little before. The
army training is not easy, and if
man is expecting a rocking chair
game he had better get into furni-
ture store, but when he goes thru
the mill here, he is man, and it is
great pleasure to the man to know
that he has been made over and is
hale and hearty. I eat more than
ever before in my life, and when l
am eating, / know that l am
healthy. es

THE. RIGHT WAY FOR SUGAR

"Sugar is prince Or a pauper."
Louisiana sugar is today limited
monarch. Were it not for federal
control of prices the sky would be
its limit.
Were it not for the cane and beet
sugar raised in the United States,
this country and the allied world
would be facing sugar famine of
a rigor not known since the Civil
War Armies must have sugar
ration. Civilians must have sugar
in order to maintain life.
All America is calling for Lou
isiana sugar. The crop now har-
vesting is needed to prevent the
East going without sugar for Christ
mas. Of all the crops produced in
fruitful Louisiana, this years sug-
ar is the most important to the ma
| ton at war.
Louisiana has made terrible mis-
takes in the past allowing this great
| industry to go unadvertised, I'M
known and unappreciated. Louis
lana sugar has been football for
the kicks of legislators, the play
thing for the politicians.
Today the American nation is in
a position where it must understand
the vital necessity Of this industry.
Today the story of Louisiana sugar
can be carried to a nation educated
by wartime necessity to an under
standing of national and interna-
tional economy.
Louisiana would have made ter
rible mistake if she had fought the
federal control of this industry.
The nation made a terrible mistake
when it allowed legislation to be
passed at Washington tending to
the destruction of this country
Not only would it have been un-
patriotic for Louisiana to demand
its pound of flesh for the salvation
of the nation in the sugar situation,
but the permanent advantage of this
policy from a purely selfish stand
point is not open to question.
Louisiana must look to the day
when there will be no more war
prices for sugar. 1t is questionable
whether the war will last a year lon-
ger. For one or two sugar crops
after the war prices will range high |
and then the sugar product Of the |
Central Powers and of Germany
will be offered on the worlds mar
kets The soldiers will be home.
The worlds shipping will be re-
stored. Our product must meet
world competition again. !
Cotton has been produced with
out protection but at prices which
in normal times pauperizedi the
farmers of the South. Sugar can
not be raised in the United States
without protection.
What Louisiana wants fOD its sug-
ar industry is that protection for
American-raised sugar shall be rec
,gnized as a national and an eco
ionic policy and not as political
ssue. American sugar is entitled
o this recognition and American
ugar growers will make a mistake
they do not lay their plans now to
lave this recognized, first by con-
'incing the American people that
his is right, by legislation as per- !:
naent and as definite in character I
s legislation can be made.
No one wants to operate in the S
ole of pauper. The days of princes {
re passing. The worlds intelli- s
ence is going to recognize neither
rinces nor paupers in the coming /
rider of things.-N. O. Item. c

THE IRONwO0D- HURLEY GAME.
A Contest That Promised to Be Close
and Peppery Came to An Unsatis-

After battling for four innings,
during which Ironwood scored two
runs and Hurley one, the contest
at Ironwood last Sunday came to
an unsatisfactory ending in the 5th
frame, Hurley FORGETTING the game
on account of raw" decision at
3rd base.
The decision which caused some
frothing at the mouth" or the
part of both teams, and which lead
to Manager Lancer calling his war
riors from'the field and the fans to
leave in disgust on account of hav-
ing been deprived of about half of
what was coming TO them for money
handed through the wicket, oc-
Cured when Hurley was at bat in
their half of the 5th inning Two
were down and Mcdonald was safe
on rSt and Whitman on end Whit
man attempted to pilfer 3rd and
Graf" Richards made the throw
to catch him. Whitman slid over
the base, but the throw was high
and Ross failed to touch him, &C
cording TO our side of the story,
before Whitman got back to the
bag. The double system of Tim.
piring was being used, Vomestek
looking after the bases and Durkee
behind the home plate 1t is said
that, contrary to rules, Durkee
made the decision on this play and
called Whitman out. Manager
Lancer objected, but the decision
was allowed to stand, and rather
than continue in the face of such
alleged raw" umpiring, the game
was forfeited to Ironwood.
Hurley's run was made in the
first inning when Dudra lined oul
a home run. In their first time up
Ironwood registered twice. the two
i. scores being forced runs, one OF
which H. Richards helped put
over by taking the ball in the ribs.
