AN ENEMY ALL SHOULD FIGHT,
Make Our Cattle Feed Soldiers, Not
Ticks" War Slogan for South.

Inc south's battle against the tick
must not lag. 1t is not work which
may be dropped during the course Of
war. Rather it must be pushed more
vigorously In order that territory NAV
be rescued from the unsatisfactory
ana often Improbable cattle raising
winch the tick imposes, and devoted
70 the more efficient and more profit
able production Of meat and milk
which may be carried on in un-
quarantined territory.
raced by the war demand for more
meat let us take advantage of an op-
portunity which lies close to hand.
Let us recognize that it is our def
mite duty to turn our abundant
grasses, our cheap and available
concentrated feeds, and our mild
climate to good account in the pro-
ductaon of beef and milk and butter.
And let us realize that to do this we
must work together to remove the
great obstaele-the tick.
Not only will the elimination Of the
tick make possible the greater and
more profitable development of our
native cattle. 1t will make possible
also the bringing in Of better beef
and milk producing stock which now
cannot live under the attacks of ticks
and the deadly germs of cattle fever
which they transmit. determination
of the tick, therefore, will give us
quick, direct returns in the form of
increased growth Of native stock, and
it will at the same time lay a firm
foundation for the building up of a
much more profitable cattle raising
industry in a year or two, while the
war still may be in progress.
The tick works for our enemies by
keeping down the supply of three of
our most important foods. Let us
recognize this pest, therefore, as an
enemy also. And let US wage against
him, from today on, without inter-
ruption, war of determination.

"The Sixteenth Wife,"

Excellent from every ANGLE" is
the reviewers comment on "The Six
teenth Wife," which the Grand will
show Friday. Olette, the character
played by Peggy Hyland, is an Amer
lean dancer, who becomes star of
the Russian ballet in it's home town.
and attracts the experienced matri=
monial eye of Kadir Ell Raschid, other
wise Marc MacDermott. Having en-
gagged the dancer for an appearance
in Turkey, the gentleman with the
cigarette name tries to keep her a
prisoner in his harem, where her COM
ing has started mutiny among the
fifteen feminine inmates. Olette es-
capes by jumping from a lofty win
dow, and returns to her native land.
Hither the Turkish gentleman follows
her, but gives up the pursuit when he
finds that he has been cleverly trick
ed and that Olette has the bad taste
to prefer the love and devotion of
whole hearted American to a one
sixteenth share in his shopworn at
fections. All of this is set forth in
a spirit of playfulness that makes the
production uncommonly pleasing.
Miss Hyland does the best work of
her American career as Olette, and
displays a number of fetching frocks.

There are great many people who

II had bad. spell with my stomach
about six months ago, and was
troubled for two or three weeks with
gas and severe pains in the pit OF my
stomach. Our druggist advised me TO
take Chamberlain's Tablets. took a
bottle home and the first dose relieved
me wonderfully, and kept on taking
them until was cured. These
tablets do not only relieve pain, but
after the pain has been relieved may
prevent it's recurrence.-(Adv.

Economy In Stamps Urged.

AS a measure of economy, post
masters and postoffice employees have
been directed to encourage the public
to use stamps of the highest denoni-
nations suited to the amount of post
age required on all mail. For ex-
ample, two-cent3 stamp instead of
two one-cent stamps should be affixed
to letters needing two-cent postage
and a ten-cent stamp instead of five
two-cent stamps should be attached
to parcels requiring ten-cent postage.
Cooperation between postoffice en-
ployes and the public in the sale and
use of stamps of the high denomi-
nations will effect large saving to
the government in the cost of produc-
ing, transporting and eanceling them,

possible throughout almost the whole
year. That is why profit is bound to
result here, and why the breeds will
eventually have to come to Louisiana
to reinforce and improve their
chances for champions. Mr.. Newman
is doing some reinforcing himself, in
the way followed by the leading
breeders, having imported some ma
irons from the Isle of Jersey. Their
lines are little more refined than the
native, but it is interesting to note
that the land of origin is also aiming
for size.
1t is the soil which has educated
Manager Black quickest about Louisi-
ana. The alluvial site was in no way
exceptional, but alfalfa is thriving
there beyond any fields he knows.
Six cuttings are made a year, with a
yield of as many tons, and the sum-
mer is no bar. He may replant after
three years, should drouth thin the
stands, but there is no such sign yet.
There is more pasturage to the acre
any time of the year. the fields burn
ing up in July in the north. He has
harvested almost three tons of Glow
ers to the acre, without incubation,
and will total four tons for the year,
besides fertilizing elements. He is
running two years rotation based
upon alfalfa.e The most attractive
feature here is the open season, only
a little protection against inclement
weather being required, and herd
can be held up and III flow at less cost
than elsewhere. In The north he had
to feed eight months, here he grazes
twelve. If the yearzis favorable the
silage yield is also much larger per
acre. And the returns are larger.
The farm is making money on corn
in an unusual way It is specializing
Calhoun Red Cob and Imperial White,
and getting around fifty bushels to
the acre. 1t sells all the corn and
buys it back as unlolted meal, and
affirns that the process is a money
saver. The concentrates bought are
bran, distillers' and brewers gains,
and cottonseed. Mr. Black says that
some of the bull calves are being sold
in Louisiana, distributing the blood
lines at home, and even the older
bulls are permitted to serve tickfree
cows owned in the state. The latest
step in farming way is to tile a cou-
of aerrs stesutssl falfe, end
results SO far seem to commend the
experiment. The milk plant, Of
course, is ideal, no hands touching
the milk, and refrigeration safe
guarding the supply all the way to
the last and final use.

Another Way of Looking AT 1t,

A merchant in Missouri town
showed farmer buggy priced at
$90, and the farmer kicked because
twenty years ago his father bought
one just like it for $50. The mer-
chant looked up the record of the pre-
slous sale and found that the father
had turned in 800 bushels Of corn for
That buggy, whereupon he told the
farmers son to deliver to him 800
bushels of corn and he would give him
. wy buggy, a SIS wagon, $40 suit

Keep Your Garden Busy.

Don't let your garden loaf; keep it
working all season. Don't assume
that the season is too far advanced
to begin garden operations. Some
vegetables may be planted at prac-
tically any time until past the middle
of the summer. Start new crops be-
tween the rows of others that are
soon to be removed. Begin over
again in late summer and plant vege-
tables that mature best in cool Wea-
ther. such as radishes, lettuce, SPIN
aeh. etc. See that your garden to.
ward fall is full of potatoes, beets
turnips, cabbage, and other staple
erops that can be stored for the WIN
teri. S. u. Press Bulletin.

Eaas and Beans.

Ifyou do not think there is direct
connection between eggs and beans,
Just read the following and draw your
own conclusion. Our good friend and
neighbor, Val. NJ. Toups, had forty
hens. One day the forty hens laid 36
eggs, that is, thirty-six of the hens
were guilty of the production of the
three dozen eggs, the other four lay
ing off on that particular day. VaPs
good wife exchanged the three dozen
eggs with neighbor for one gallon
Of pink beans, which they planted.
After gathering their crop of beans
from the gallon planted, 200 pounds
were sold for $28, about 25 pounds
remaining over for their own use.
Val also informs US that from three
gallons of white beans planted, he
harvested GOO pounds when shelled.

WONDERFUL pHoToPLAY.
et2o 900 Leagues Under the Sea-

der, Captain Memo, who followed the
path of vessels 10000 leagues on his

You will see q torpedo fired and
photographed under the ocean while
speeding on it's deadly mission, and
then see full-rigged ship blown to
atoms.
Through the magic window in the
submarine Nautilus" you will see
the victims sinking to the silent
depths. Through this window you

the deep.
You will see the Nautilus" in a
tropic ocean dive to mysterious
depths, and human beings emerge ex-
actly as Jules Verne wrote.
Hunters descend to the floor of the
ocean among man-eating sharks.
They require neither life lines nor air
pipes to connect them with the sur
face. With a supply of oxygen in
condensed air tanks, they visit the
