World Outlook: Three-fourths Of

Russia are engaged in agriculture.
The bulk Of the nation is peasant, bred
to the soil and for the most part IL
literate. Even when they migrate to
the cities they change but little.
The peasant of today plows with
the same implements used by his re-
mote ancestors. Only in the newer
districts that are being opened 10

With the abolition of vodka the
peasants mind began to work, the

Don't Let Soap
Spoil Your Hair

When you wash your hair, be care
full what you use. Most soaps and pre-
pared shampoos contain too much al
kali, which is very injurious. as 1t dries
the scalp and makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain
mu1sified cocoanut oil, for this is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very cheap
and beats the most expensive soaps or
anything else all to pieces. You can
get this at any drug store, and a few
ounces will last the whole family for
months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub lit in, about a teaspoonful is all
that is required. 1t makes an abund-
ance of rich, creamy lather, cleanses
thoroughly, and rinses out easily. The
hair dries quickly and evenly, and is
soft, fresh looking, bright, fluffy, wavy
and easy to handle. Besides. IL io0sens

Vandalism.

We know of nothing in the

proved a greater blow to the
pride of the whole people than
the petty act perpetrated in the
Fifth ward last week in blowing
up the dipping vats.
Washington Parish prides her
self upon both being law abiding
and progressive, and knowing
the people of the Fifth Ward as
we do, thru long association and
reputation, we feel free to sex-
press the opinion that these peo-
pie are in no wise to blame for
the blowing up of the vats and
would be more delighted than
any other section, to apprehend
the criminals.
The eradication of the tick
means money in the pockets OF
the farmers and hence the will

and the vats were placed in the

truction of one of these vats on
ly works a hardship on the cat
tie owners of that section since
they will be required to drive to
the nearest vat, and it is greatly
Loped that this will be the last
OF the dynamiting.

Our Plain Duty.

At last We are facing war, and
there seems no honorable way in
which it can be avoided. We,
therefore, must fight.
But with the conflict a reality,
it will be we'll if we as people
are disposed to profit by the ex-
perience of the nations across
the water.
1t seems like prosaic matter
for discussion, but really one of
the greatest factors that will en-
ter into the matter is our food
supply. We arc already faced
with prices as high as it would
seem we can possibly endure;
with a pronounced shortage in
many lines Of products; and if a
large army and navy is to be re-
cruited from our industrial work.
ers the situation is likely to be-
come serious.
1t is, however, fortunate that
the crisis should come at this
season of the year, when the
people can plan to meet the situa.
ton. The farming season is just
opening, and every man, woman
and child in the United States
should be brought to feel that ON
his or her shoulders rests a very
tangible portion of the RESPONSE.
bility that faces the nation.
Our people must be fed. In an
ordinary year this matter would
automatically take care of itself.
But not so in this instance
Aside from the fact that thous.
ands will be drawn from the
ranks of the workers, we will
have also to reckon with the rest
lessness and excitement that will
inevitably prevail throughout
the country. This is not con-
ducive to successful work.
What our people must realize
is that no calamity can be al
lowed to touch us as q whole.
An army may be mobilized, and
the navy strengthened, but af-
fairs will move along in the
same grooves in all lines of in
dustry. Hence, with the in.
creased demand for food sup
plies that is sure to come, the
first thought Of all the people
shonld be to see that every avail
able foot Of tillable soil is made
to produce a crop.
And this should not only ap-
ply to farmers. Millions Of peo-
pie in the cities and towns can
contribute largely to the result.
Unused back yards, vacant lots,
fallow fields, even railroad rights
of way can be made to add their
quota. Every dweller in a city
or town who can by any means
secure plot Of ground should do !
