American Heroes Abroad

When the history of the great war
is written, one of its brightest pages
will tell the story of the American
ambulance i'm France. Quite without
any remuneration except the satisfac-
ton of work well done in the cause of
humanity, two or three hundred
young American men have been risk
ing their lives in the rescue of wound.
ed soldiers.
One of these young men, Mr.. How
ard Hare Powell, of Newport. r. L.,
writes in Harper's Bazaar for Febru-
ary: "When the impulse first gripped
me to come over here, had been led
to expect that I would fetch up in a
crew of swashbuckling, devil may
care adventurous. Instead, I found
men had known at school and col
Iege. and a lot of other young Ameri-
cans like those one meets anywhere"
Young Mr.. Powell has for the past
year been attached to Section Two Of
the American ambulance, with head
quarters at the bloodiest spot in the
world-Verdun. Day after day last
year the tide of battle flowed back
and forth; a hundred battles as des-
perate and bloody as Waterloo or
Gettysburg were fought at Verdun
last summer. And every night driv-
ers of ambulances came up to the
trenches un1er fire to save the wound
ed soldiers. Several of these Ameri-
cans have lost their lives; others have
received, for valor, the highest decor
atoms that the French government
can bestow.
To anyone who likes to read about
old fashioned heroism, we strongly
recommend this important article in
the February number of Harper's
Bazaar.

CARNIVAL BARGAIN DAY IN WcKsBURe

The business men of our city will
begin in earnest this week to advertise
and make ready for the coming OF
Carnival Bargain Day, which is to be
held on Tuesday, Feb. 20.
1t was happy thought when Gen.
eral Chairman Leyens and his assist
ant committee hit upon Mardi Gras as
the day for the big carnival of bar
gains. This day has grown in favor
here year by year and every one
seems interested in our miniature
Mardi Gras. With the added attrac-
tive bargains to be had in all our big
stores that day, the event will prove
unusually interesting.
Another thing that will fit in with
the Mardi Gras spirit will be the big
open-ai dance the committee has ar
ranged for. This big dance will afford
much pleasure to hundreds of people.

Remove Grass and Weeds

The people of Louisiana are being
urged by the state fire marshal to be-
ware of uncut weeds and grass at this
season Of the year. A little careless
ness now may result In heavy losses
a little later.
A patch OF ground grown up to grass
and weeds may look harmless enough
to satisfy any one, but destruction
turks in its tangled mass of vegeta
ton. Whole cities have been de-
stroyed by small patch of dead grass.
When the frost has destroyed the
last vestige Of life in blade and stock
and wind and sun have dried the last
lingering sap from tiny shoot and
stock, the unmowed patch of ground
becomes a veritable finder box, wait
ing for the spark from match or Chin
ney or cigarette stub to burst into
flame.
A spark dropped in a patch OF dry
grass at Nashville, Tenn, last spring
DESTROYED over six hundred buildings,
including some Of the principal build

Every day brings evidence that the
American public are willing to pay for
the things the people really want.
For many months newspaper and
magazine publishers have been hard
pressed, because of the tremendous
increase in the price of white paper.
In many cities one cent newspapers
have raised their price to two cents
without any appreciable falling off of
circulation, but the most striking ex-
ample of the public's willingness to
pay an increased price for better
product occurred last month, when
the publishers of Cosmopolitan, Amer
ica's greatest magazine, determined
that, instead of cutting the quality Of
the magazine, they would print an
even better magazine and increase the
price.
Over a million people have been
buying Cosmopolitan. for many wears
at 15c copy, and, with the greatly
improved February issue more people
paid zoe for Cosmopolitan than had
ever in its history purchased the mag
azine at 15c.
How such a magazine can be pro-
duced, sold for zoe and pay profit to
the producers is a modern industrial
problem, especially when the editor
has among his writer's Gouverneur
Morris, Robert w. Chambers, John
Galsworthy, Jack London, Edith
Wharton, Owen Johnson, Elizabeth
Robins, Amelia Rives and Elinor Glyn.
The magazine is profusely illustrated
by the greatest of modern artists, and
Its tremendous sale is only an added
proof of the American public's thor
ough appreciation of a quality product
at any price.

One Beautiful Series of Frills and
FurbelOws
Dainty, fascinating Peggy Hyland
wears most of the charming frocks in
"The Chsttel," the Vitagraph Blue
Ribbon Feature which stars the worlds
most famous actor, E. H. Sothern
This picture is the headliner at the
Electric Theatre on Thursday and Fri
day, March and 2.
Dance frocks, dinner gowns, after
noon dresses, riding habits, sport cos
tunes and negligees-one and all find
their niche i'm the action of this human
interest story.
One attractive gown worn by Miss
Hyland is an old gold lace with an
overdress of delicate rose chiffon.
Wide bands of gold spangles encircle
the low-cut waist while the sleeves are
formed by two wide ruffles OF the chif-
fon which falls little below the arm
hole. With this dinner gown, the pops
uar little English beauty wears an ex-
quisite tiara of valuable gems.
A dance frock fashioned from del
icate Nile green taffeta is embroidered
in many pastel silks while the waist is
made entirely from old lace with q
band Of satin flowers forming Q pleas
ing contrast.
An afternoon dress of ivory satin is
embroidered in dark brown silk. The
dress is made with pleated puffs over
the hips while the waist is made high
wasted with wide girdle of the en-
broidered material.
Reception scenes, opera back
grounds and house parties offer many
other players in pleasing gowns. Rose
Tapley in particular helps Miss Hyland
in making "The Chattel" a series of
exquisite creations. At the opera
this popular Vitagraph favorite wears
a burnt orange chiffon dress with
shirred puffs over the hips and high
girdle brocaded in many colors. An
afternoon dress is made from soft
purple material and is embroidered in
a series of harmonious shades. The
overskirt of this frock which falls a
little below the hips is flounced with
wide band of old lace, while a small
black hat with a chic wing forms the
touch to the most effective
costume.
Another attractive gown worn by
little Peggy is made from grey chif-
fon. The skirt is formed by series
Of ruffles, each encircled with lace,
while the waist is made by two wide
bands Of silver brocaded rose satin
crossing and forming a long panel
Town the back. The sleeves of this
afternoon dress are of grey chiffon.
Although one and all of this Partisan |
'reation find charming model in
Mss Hyland, the glimpse which is
,iven her in trim riding habit re-
Mains in ones memory long after her
'ision has faded from the screen.

Half Your Living
Without Money Cost

A right or wrong start in 1917 will
make or break most farmers in the
South. We are all facing a crisis.
This war in Europe puts things in
such uncertainty that no man can
foresee the future with any degree Of
clearness.
The sure and certain increase In
cotton acreage means lower cotton
prices next fall. Cost of all food and
grain products is high. SO high that
no one can afford to buy and expect
to pay out with cotton.
It's a time above all others to play
safe; to produce all possible food,
grain and forage supplies on your
own acres; to cut down the store bill.
A good piece of garden ground,
rightly planted, rightly tended and
kept planted the year round, can be
made to pay half your living. It will
save you more money than you made
on the best five acres of cotton you
ever grew!

Cotton raising as part of a system
of farming is both safe and a sound
business proposition. Cotton farming
as business by itself is no longer
safe or profitable. To attempt to grow
cotton except in conjunction with the
production of grain, hay and live
stock is uneconomical, bad business
and is bound to result in disaster.
The production of one crop as the
main support of people has failed in
all sections of the United States. 1t
is an agricultural impossibility. AS a
practice it has failed in the wheat,
corn, tobacco and cotton sections of
the country. In Louisiana it has sig
nally failed in the cotton section for
the following reasons:
Q) Decreased soil fertility results
in reduced production. Cotton being
a clean, cultivated crop, this deterio-
ration has come through the teaching
out Of the plant food in the soil by the
heavy rainfall; through the washing
away of the soils, and through the ex-
haustion of the organic matter and
consequent loss of nitrogen and bac-
terial life. Available plant food has
been exhausted and that mechanical
condition of the soil necessary for
profitable crop production destroyed.
Washed and quilted hillsides, worn
out and abandoned fields have been
the heritage of the one crop practice
in the south. Soil fertility is the basis
of all agricultural wealth.
4 (2) The continuous growing of one
crop i'm the same fields increase dam
age from insect pest and plant dis
eases.
60 The growing of one crop to
pay for all farm and household sup
plies bought on credit, is uneconomi-
cal and poor business policy. To be
successful, the one crop farmer must
produce good crops and sell them for
good prices-a hard combination to
get. Unfavorable seasons with poor
crop even with high prices, or favor
able seasons and good crops and low
prices, equally near failure. The
one crop farmer is at the mercy of the
seasons. All his eggs i'm one basket.
Under such conditions the cotton
crop has been produced in Louisiana,
and the rest of the south. The fault
is not with the crop, for cotton has all
the qualities of an ideal farm crop. 1t
is adapted to wide range of soil and
conditions, is easy to raise
and not hard on the soil, is readily |
prepared for market, can be stored |
and held indefinitely, if necessary, and
can be turned into cash anywhere at |
any time and i'm any quantity. The |
sole difficulty is that it is a hard crop
to harvest.
The fault has been with the credit |
system that has been forced on the |
farmers of the south by their neces-
stiles, following the civil war. Cotton
being the sole basis of credit i'm the |
south, it has been and is still difficult |
TO carry out a sane diversification on
the farm. The facts should be recog-
nized that oats, corn, hay, livestock,
etc., are good credit risks, and that
the production of other crops will
make the growing of cotton, cane, rice,
and other crops a safe proposition.
