The company has decided to put this
acreage in corn and Mr.. Turner, its general
manager, is now on the ground making
preparation to plant as much as is possible.
The company will be required to spend a
considerable sum for equipment and other
expense consequent upon the lateness of the
season. In fact of prospect of rain at this
time has not been considered by the company
which goes into the work with the single
idea of doing its part towards increasing
the food supply as suggested by the heads
of the government. This action is but
another evidence of the patriotic attitude
assumed by the large interests of the nation.
The determination of the Singer Com
pany in this matter has been productive of
much favorable comment from the people.

The Attorney for Carriere, murderer of
Sheriff Swords, announces that he cannot
be hung for the reason that the law requires
that the execution take place in the walls of
the penitentiary at Baton Rouge and that
as the penitentiary has been moved the SEN

to some extent the evils of the laws delays

Judging from the activity now being
displayed by Senator Broussard he has taken
on new lease of life. The circumstances
that have forced more harmonious relations
between the national political parties must
be influencing sentiment nearer home. We
can foresee that the trouble that men of the
Broussard type in politics have given in the
past promises to be largely augmented in
future.

NECESSITY FOR ENLISTMENT

Among the most notable war cores
pondents, Irwin S. Cobb, in his last contri-
button to the Saturday Evening Post "Thrice
is he armed" brings home to the thinking
American the cold facts which confront us
now-facts that cannot be disputed. Mr..
Cobb very aptly compares our unprepared-
ness to an uncovered lucious oyster living
among other sea animals with fangs and
claws ready to pounce upon and devour it.
Our own idea of things if not formed
from actual experience are based on the
historical facts as recorded by the ablest
minds and writers of the country.
We are at liberty to take facts from
others and draw our own deductions as to
their correctness when applied. That is one
1T the God-given privileges of our free in
pitution- our American liberty; from this
principle" one out of many"-a govern
ment by and with the consent of the gov
erned, cannot be more forcibly impressed
upon our minds than at this time.
1t is not by and with the consent ofthe
masses of Europe today that the horrors of
war are tearing the vitals of that country.
Like Pomethius, human beings are suffering
the same tortures from wars vulture. WHY?
Because the war lords of Europe said it
must be and it came to pass.
The point is that the masses of the
people are not in position to see as far into
the future as the statesmen who have kept
in touch with world affairs and who have
acted upon carefully secured information.
The large expenditures by this government
should be proof that the need for prepare
tion is great and that no time should be
lost in getting ready for the conflict that
must be foreseen by those charged with re-
sponsibility in the m; tier.
The enlistment for the army and navy
is being rushed and every individual should
shape his affairs to be ready for the conflict
that is probable not sure to:come

1t must be apparent to the casual OBJ
server that there is broad inconsistency in
the reports as to the actual conditions in
Europe. If the censors for the allies are
coloring war news to suit their own tastes,
they are making grave mistake. If they
depend on America for help it would be
wise to let the real danger be known.

BOBBY VEACH

Hitting the bali when hit is greatly
needed may be regarded as one of the
ball players prettiest arts. And in
this respect Bobby Beach of the
Tigers wrecking crew led the Ameri-
can league last season. Feach drove
i'll lis runs with timely swats.
Several years ago Harry Pulliam,
baseball magnate and expert, said that
the player who drives in the runs is
the really great player and that his
bottinb is the sort that should get the
applause. Ban Johnson heartily
agreed with Pulliam at the time and
since then there has been greater
interest in the dope that shows the
players who have starred in bringing
in runs when runs were wanted. 81
Ban Johnson said that he regarded
the figures showing the number Of
runs batted in by the players as the
nose valuable OF all records in the
national game.
Bob Veach may then be mentioned
as the real batting hero Of the past
year, leading even the immortal Ty
Cobb. Cobb came in second in the
timely hitting averages with 108 runs
to his credit, and Hap Felsch of the
White Sox was third with an even 100.
Veach has reason to be pleased with
himself, especially as he has always
been a timely hitter. Getting a hit
when run results is not always a
matter of luck by any means, as a
glance at Bob's record will show. He
has always been timely hitter and
in the past several seasons has made
strong bid for the honors that he
pIucked this last summer.
