Enter Central Loop

site.
The Central league has had a sue
cessful season thus far despite the

splendid move.

6--Passed by the Censor) AT the
end OF the first week OF the American
expeditionary army In France one fact
stands out above all others:
America must send men-a million
mon.
Food conditions in France are, II
anything. better than they had been
reported to be. There isNa sufiiciency
OF food supplies, though to say there
is plenty would be exasgerating.

ing Is the national costume.
The spirit of the people is indomit-
able, but weary. I'VE have done our
duty to our home country. to the
world. to democracy" they say. Let
America now serve"
Troops Catch Spirit
The American troops have caught
the spirit that comes from true un.
Outstanding of the situation.
No hatred is shown by our troops
to the German war prisoners; only
pity But the woes of France are in
,oking a deep-rooted ire against the
Kaiser. Our men seem to grasp what
they are fighting for and are resolved
to triumph.
Oar casualties will be heavy. This
country must be prepared for terrible
losses
The administration details are be-
ing conducted admirably. Many here
predict that the Americans, with their
characteristic spirit Of initiative, will
silrpass even the Canadians in sue
cessful trench warfare.
Indications are that our troops will
be at the front sooner than was cal
culatcd. TEey are needed to stimu-
late the Allies offensive.

WAR is WHAT?
SHERMAN SAYS IT is

This statement is the terse defin-
ton of war supposed to have been
uttered by General Sherman.
NV a great many people in this
country think they are pestered and
worried by the demands upon their
time and purse until they know that
Sherman's definition is true. AS
matter of fact we have no apprecia-
tion whatever of the meaning of the
term. If we had we should not be
complaining because of the frequent
calls of Red Cross, Y M. c. A. and
Liberty Bond committees. In truth
If we had any adequate conception
of the liberal correctness of this term
we would not be annoyed but pleased
to have people call on us. We are in
no danger of having arms and legs
torn off by shrapnel shells. That is
the hellish of war. We are safe
from danger in that repect.
But what are we doing about sup
porting the boys who are going to ex-
perience the kind of war described
by Sherman? What our people need
to understand now,is that we are en-
gagged in war. This is how our chief
thief attention. 1t will be a wohle
lot more agreeable to deal with Red
Cross and other committees of our
own people now than it will be to
have the kaiser's tax collectors call
ing on us as they call upon the Bel
gians. If we have any fleeing idea
that we know anything about the
hellish part of war let us look for a
little time upon bleeding Belgian.

WIN COMMENTATOR

palmetto brooms manufactured al
the factory of Senator ]. R. Do.
mengeaux Of Lafayette. The broom
itself is made entirely Of Louisiana
palmetto and the handle from the
hardwood timber of this state, which
is plentiful. These particular hand
les came from Denham Sorirgs.
Secretary Denechaud points out
that broom straw is now selling for
$500 per ton, while palmetto can
be gathered for $40 per ton.
The New Orleans Item has this
to say of Senator Demengeaux'
brooms:
Utilizing palmetto in the manu-
facture of brooms opens the way for
new Louisiana industry. Thous-
ands of tons of palmetto are grow
ing wild in many parts Of the state.
Palmetto can be gathered for $40 a
ton, while broom straw is now SELL
ing for about $4O0 ton.

Harry D. Wilson has sent The Item
broom made at the factory Of
Senator J. R. Domengeaux at
Lafayette. It was made Of local pal
metto and the handle came from a
Denham Springs plant, both Louis
lana products. The commissioner has
sent a number of Louisiana brooms
to persons in several sections of the
state, asking that they be given a
thorough test as to effective sweep
ing and lasting qualities in COM
parison with brooms made of high

AS b. car took the down grade al
the top Of its speed, the nearest car OF
the fugitives, leading it by a hare two
hundred yards, Donald saw the head
light Of a locomotive sweep through
the cut at the far end Of the trestle,
like sword of light slaslhng the
night. 4r,.
Then, travelling at fast clip, the
train ran out on the trestle-a light
train, he remarked, consisting Of sin
gle coach in addition to the locomotive
and tender; in short, special, such
as Patria was accustomed to use.
BY this time his motorcar had de-
scended to the bottom Of the valley
and crossed the bridge that spanned
the river. Ten seconds later a sudden
premonition drew his attention to the
train; he looked up just in time to see
the locomotive shoot out at a sharp
angle from the trestle, twist and fall,
dragging its tender and coach with it.
The crash Of the wreck filled the
valley like thunderclap, followed by
a kissing Of escaping steam and the
groans and screams of the injured
train crew.
Instinctiyely Donald shut off the
Gasoline ard damned in the emergency
.rale, bringing his car to halt within
thrice its own length. AS it stopped
he Jumped out and began to run acrbss
fields toward the wreck, his compan-
ions at his heels.

The best means of getting rid of flies
Is never to let them get u foOthold,
according to w. w. SWEET Of the Mis-
souri, agricultural experiment station.
Although his recommendations are
made mainly from the standpoint of
protecting cows against flies, they are
just as applicable to the protection Of
people.
The best means of fly control is to
prevent their breeding. It requires ten
days for the fly to develop from egg
to adult, so If all barnyard manure
and other 9th In which it can develop
is cleaned up every i've or eight days,
the flies supply will be cut off. II it
is impossible to remove the filth far
enough so that the flies which breed in
it cannot reach the house or barns, it
may be treated with powdered borax
sprinkled over the manure pile or other
filth at the rate of about an ounce for
each cubic foot to be treated. After
it has been sprinkled on, 1t should be
washed through the pile with water.

water from ten to twenty-f0ur hours

be treated.
In either barns or houses fytraps
help 4 little, and a great deal Of relief
may be obtained by mixing half a
pint Of milk. half pint of water and
two tablespoonful Of formalin (4O
per cent formaldehyde). Stronger mix
lures have SO much formalin In them
that the flies do not drink It. A slice
Of bread may be. placed in the plate
In which the mixture Is expo4d.
Cows may be protected by means OF
commercial or homemade appellants.
Pyrethrum powder is good, and the
commercial repellants are generally
preferable IL they do not cost too much.
Homemade mixtures Of either one part
Of crude carbolic acid Or pine tar with
nine parts Of cottonseed oil give very
good resuls IL applied lightly.
