have just closed contract for
10000 tons or 24O,000,00O
pounds of catalog paper for their
1917 trade. This paper alone
figured at two cents a pound,
which is probably far less than 1t
cost them. means an outlay of
$780, 600 for paper alone. Add
to this the cost Of getting out the
catalog and the mailing Of same

apply some of the business
methods used by this big mail or

better than this, they can quote
prices and describe their goods
to prospective customers each
week by using the columns Of

A scATHING IDENTIFICATION

| Every patriotic American. and
every German citizen, Pro-Ger
man and weakened American
should study well and earnestly
the terrible arraignment Of the
irresponsible German govern
ment, contained in President Will
sons reply to the Pope. It is q
master stroke and leaves no doubt
as to what the President thinks Of
the Kaiser and his brutal advisers.
President Wilson says:
TT is manifest that no part OF
this program can be successfully
carried out unless the restitution
Of the status quo ante furnishes
a firm and satisfactory basis for
it. The object Of this war is to
deliver the free peoples Of the
actual power of vast military
establishment controlled by an
irresponsible government, which.
having secretly planned to domi-
nate the world proceeded to carry
the plan out without regard eth
et to the sacred obligations of
tresty or the long established.
practices and long cherished
principles Of international action
and honor; which chose rs wn

blows fiercely and suddenly !,
stopped at no barrier either Of
law or Of mercy; swept a whole
continent with the tide of blood
mot the blood of soldiers only,
but the blood Of innocent women
and children also, and Of the help
less poor; and now stands baked
but not defeated, the enemy Of
four-fifths Of the world. The
power is. not the German people.
It is the ruthless master of the
German people. It is no business
Of ours how that great people
came under its control or sub
mitted with temporary zest to the
domination Of its purpose; but it
is our business to see to it that
the history Of the rest Of the

Many thanks for sending The

my dear New iberia, the home OF
my heart. Everything pertain

great interest to me. Whilst IN

good move, every worthy organi-
zation-my good will. and it was
my delight to feel the bond Of

Convent and the people. But,
like all transitory joys, it found
an end for me.
l am doing my best here, where
obediance has placed me and ev-
cry now and thea. New Iberia

it has suited me since 1896. I
would like to thank every one of
you, for all you have done for me !;
but this is impossible. Every day
I bring my wishes to the Master
who will, I know, bless all my

SOLDIER FOOD BILL OF
U. s. 100000 DAY.

Philadelphia, Sept. 19.-"War
has made Uncle Sam the biggest
buyer of food in this country and
the board bill for his soldiers will
be 100000 a day." Charles La
throp Pack. president of the Ma
tional Emergency Food Garden
Commission. of Washington, to-
day told the food conference Of
the American Academy of Politi-
cal and Social Science
"We are to have two million
men under arms shortly according
to the best reports. At 40 cents
a day it will be seen what that
means.
II am told that the reserve
stock of foodstuffs at each camp i,
1925, 900. and there are 33 camps
in the country today. That means
that food valued at $4,125,OO0 is
taken out Of the regular channels
of trade. ~
I'VE have had one years ex-
perience and have raised $780,
100000 worth Of produce in our
war gardens. Next year we will
do even better. We will then
have more war gardens and the
average product of each will be
larger. Housewives of this coun-
try this year have preserved and
canned at least 460, 100000 jars Of
VEGETABLES and fruits"

We believe that if those send
ing news from the war zone
would tell the truth, instead of
drawing highly exaggerated word
pictures Of horror. they would be
serving their country and not dis
heartening the soldiers and films
the hearts of their people with
dread to see them leave home for
the army. War is bad, but not
as horrifying as some people pic
ture it. Soldiers have some very
pleasant times in camps. They
are not always fighting and suf-
fering. They have long resting
spells for recuperation. -Ruston-
Leader.

THE MEETING GROUND OF
THE CAMPS.

Some Of us who stay at home
almost wish we were to be soldiers
as we read of the novelty and Ill.
terest the men are finding IL the
new army cantonment life. il

TYPES. Of men who hitherto have
led very quiet and isolated lives

At home they communed mostly

went in but little for social life.

gatherings only by long walks Ill
the evening. This isolation de-
Telops a rugged but too independ-
eat type of character. The e.-
thusiasm of a regiment Of men
will be thrilling exper;:Eee t.
such.
Also it will do these fellows
good to realize that the city boys
are not all dudes and weaklings
They will find many of them very
athletic, and quite able to throw
the country boys at wrestling
match. Also it will do the city
boys good to see that the country
boy is not necessarily hayseed.
He may be shy of manner, but
underneath there is keen OBJ
seryation and shrewd comment
on what he sees.
Men who previously never left
the boundaries of their native
states will be swapping experien-
ces with those from the cities they
only knew dimly as a memory OF
geography study. It will do
them good to realize that their
own locality does not possess all
advantages nor all wisdom.
Travel is supposed to DE Dene-
fetal, but the great majority OF
people never get much of 1t. The
army boys will now see the world,
but even better than that, they
will get what is the major advant-
age of seeing the world. the meet

Men of sluggish ambition will be
