The eradication of the cattle tick
brought freedom to farmers. One
Bradley county man puts it this way:
Freeing Bradley county of ticks has
brought more money to the county
than any other one thing know Of.
We had no cattle market, had to beg
local dealers to take them. Now we
ship cattle all over the United States.
We used to sell Jersey cattle for $40
to $25 head; now we ship them and

GATHERED AT POE ATO SALE.

A town on the southwest coast of England, May 26.-Women and chil- dren who stood for hours in long line in the busiest street here, to pur- chase potatoes, were the principal victims of the German airplane raid. Intent only on not losing their places in the line, women and children had no warning and were easy victims of the air vultures, who dropped deadly bombs indiscriminately.
 Flying so high they looked like flocks of ducks, tho raiders dropped bombs on the busiest blocks, which were choked with people Of every age and sex.
 A correspondent of the Associated Press visited the destroyed section today He found a grocery store that had collapsed and was told by the grocer, who lost two members of his family. that 10 dead persons were in the debris of the buildlng. A dozen were killed by flying glass and brick

SUGAR men UNITE in
BACKING PARKER
WITHACOMMlTTEE
Give Full Power to Represen-
tadves in Supporting Food
Control

New Orleans, La, Sept. 13.-The
sugar industry Of Louisiana is united
for the first time in its history, and
represented by committee with full
power to act.
The outcome is the first big vic
tory achieved by John M. Parker, as
food administrator of Louisiana.
The committee will work with him in
seeking a square deal for all con-
cerned, and in carrying out the rul-
ings of the National Food Admins
tration.
The gathering was in response to
Mr.. Parker's call to the various di-
visions Of the industry to get to-
gether so as to be able to deal as a
unit The large ball room under
the Grunewald Hotel roof was filled,
and all the sugar parishes were well
represented.
The American Cane Growers As
ISOLATION was the medium of the call,
and played leading and patriotic
part in bringing about harmony.
Conferences with various sugar ip-
terests were held in advance of the
main session, and amalgamation
urged. Henry N. Pharr, the presi-
dent, on behalf of himself and the
other officers, offered to step down
so that new election could be held.
The spirit Of sacrifice had its influ-
ence, and amalgamation was accom-
plished, the new elements only &C.
cepting places on the executive COM
mittee and insisting that the officers
hold on. The Cane Growers gain
ed more than $50 members rs q re-
suit, with these pledged to an active
canvass for more on their return
home.

faculty. No tax payer questions the
wisdom of this added expense. The
Parish superintendents' salary of
$4,000 for this year includes the al
lowance for bookkeeping and travel
ing expenses, and Examining Com
mittee as shown for last year. His
salary is really $500 less than last
year. Janitor's wages show an es-
timated increase Of $500 on the
statement but the arrangements to
be made by the Board will probably
cut this item in less than half. Re-

last year. in the statement and there
will probably be . slight saving on

altogether eliminated this year. The

expense Of the general fund is also
increased by about 5000 to provide
a janitor and fuel for the Morgan
City Schools. In the past, these
items have been paid out of the City
Treasury Of this city. The cost of
School Transfers and Board of Pupils
paid out last year is necessarily ELI
minated from the expenses this year.
The expense for this year, as ap-
proximated, will be about $4,000
greater than last year. Considering
the approximate increase in reve-
nues, the deficit will again be about
$4,000. It is believed by the
Board that sufficient saving can
be made over the estimated costs
for the current year to bring the
shortage well within the amount
which an additional / mill levy will
provide.

AMBASSADOR GERARD TO
tell WHY We ARE AT
WAR

Beginning Sunday, September
10th, the New Orleans Item will
publish series Of articles prepared
by James w. Gerard, late United
States Ambassador to Germany, set
ting forth why we are at war. These
articles will be published serially and
will continue daily for about three
months. Only the Item will print
this series and it is important that
every citizen make positive arrange
ment, by mail or carrier, to get this
entire series. On this page will be
found displayed statement from
the Item which you should read and
act upon at once.
In his Foreword to the series of
Of articles Mr.. Gerard gives a fore
taste of the lines along which he will
follow and the serious nature and
importance Of the series are strik-
ingly apparent. The following ex-
cerpt is prophetic of what one may
look forward to in the Items great
series:
II am writing what should have
been the last chapte---s the foreword
Of this series "a $40 CO, because I
want to bring Science Dur people
the gravity Of tRol, throun; because
/ want to tell thef gave she military
and naval power oAt1e German EN-
pire is unbroken. Americans do not
grasp either the magnitude or the
Importance Of this war. There
is far greater danger of the starva-
ton Of our allies than of the starva-
ton Of the Germans. We are
engaged in war against the great
est military power the world has ever
seen; against a people whose coun-
try was for SO many centuries thea
ire Of devastating wars that fear is
bred into the very marrow of their
souls, making them ready to submit
their lives and fortunes to an auto
crazy which for centuries has ground
their faces, but which has promised
them as result Of the war not only
security, but riches untold and the
dominion Of the world; a people
which, as from high mountain, has
looked upon the cities Of the world
and the glories of them and has been
promised these cities and their glor-
les by the devils Of autocracy and Of
war. We stand in great peril,
and only the exercise. Of ruthless
realism can win this war for US. i
II we had stayed out and the war had
been drawn or won by Germany we
would have been attacked, and that
