Service And Sacrifice.

The Presidents address to the
American people on agricultural.
Industrial and mercantile condi-
tons is a learning as we'll as ar
appeal. He speakes now as {
friendly councillor urging dill
gence in the production of food
shipping and all manners of wal
supplies, and self-denial that
shall be carried into the realm Of
money-making.
It is hardly necessary to say
that the man who utters these
sober and timely words has an
austere duty in the premises
which he recognizes. If, for any
reason, prices of the great staples
of life become extortionate, food
control by national authority is
certain. If, by combination or
any other form of conspiracy, at
tempts are made to plumber Gov
eminent and people, the inevita-
BILE result will be price fixing.
There is a widespread belief
that this is to be the last great
war. That faith rests upon the
conviction that autocracy, mill
tarism and aggression are to be
overthrown. In the struggle tt
this end the world has suffered
much and must endure yet more
Devoted to such a cause, as no.
BILE as any that ever led a nation
to battle, the United States can
not tolerate the greed which 81
often in the past has fattened or
the peoples woes.
Law will positively reach this
evil, but public opinion must dea
with the equally dangerous vices
of waste and extravaganza. The
army Of service and sacrifice fol
which the President calls should
embrace in one way or another
Aevery man, woman and child ir

Washington, April l9.-Men OF
military age who have married
since state of war against Ger
many was declared will not es-
cape military service under a
war department policy formally
announced today. The depart
ment's statement follows:
"The war department an
nounces that all men married
since the outbreak of war will be
treated upon the same basis as
unmarried men insofar as their
military obligations are concern
ed, 1t is desired that the utmost
publicity be given by the press to
this announcements
we war department. was lhONe"
to take this action in order that
all men should understand exact
" what is contemplated in the
organization of an army to fight

tracted since the outbreak of war
with the possible construction
that the marriage in any case
was fastened in order that mill
tary service might be avoided.

The Washington Parish Food
Preparedness Rally, held at the
courthouse on Saturday evening
last, was well attended by inter-
ested and representative citizens,
meeting presided over by Judge
P. B. Carter, and the following
programme rendered: Object of
the meeting was stated in well
chosen words by Senator Delos
R. Johnson. After which Mr..
Sanford made a very interesting
talk onthe need for increasing
food crops.
j. A. Spekenhier of First State
Bank, Bogalusa, and Magee W.
OFT. representing the Washington
Bank and Trust Co., stated that
their banks were ready to aid the
farmers in the present crisis.
Mr.. ". H. Sullivan made an
interesting talk In which he
showed that the present prices of
potatoes to be'very high and that
1t would be useless to say that
they would drop back to their
original price in the fall. Other
wise he felt sure that sweet DO
taloes would sell for as much as
$500 per bushel. He also made
the Parish the proposition that he
as a representative of the Great
Southern Lumber Co., would be
willing to bald as many as four
or five dry kilns for drying sweet
potatoes this fall at a very small
cost to the farmers it they only
