There will be very few members Of

OYSTER RECIPES

Consider the Louisiana oyster
succulent, delicious, with a world
wide reputation for superiority-in
this day when all other foodstuffs
have scared sky-high in cost and are
still on the rise. Yet the Louisiana
oyster has stood still-in price, not
in progress through modern
methods of cultivation. the quality
of this Incompatible bivalve has
been enormously improved, and its
importance as a food has gone on
increasing by virtue of the fact that
it embodies all the elements that
constitute a wholly nutritious and
satisfying food.
The oyster is one of Louisiana's
foremost natural resources, and the
cultivation of it is fast developing
into an important industry of the
State. Its cultivation here is very
simple compared to what it is in
other parts of the world, for seed is
abundant, food is plentiful, and
climatic conditions are particularly
favorable to it's growth and develop
ment.

Pensacola, Fla, Jan. 26.-Estab-
fishing a precedent by being the
first aviator and owner of an aero
plane to enlist as private in his
country's military service, Charles
E. Hays cartoontis, reporter and
birdman, today joined the flying
squad of the United State Marines
at the Aeronautic Station here.
The youthful aviator, who reject
ed the temptation to go abroad in
belief that his country has the first
demand for his services, is eager
to demonstrate his skill as a flyer,
and expects to win rapid promotion
in the "soldiers of the sea-"
Young Hays says that he hopes
to achieve success through merit
alone, and ignores the inference
that by owning and operating an
aeroplane he is bound to rise in the
world.
