NEW YORK STOCK MARKET
Features of the Days Dealings in All
the Leading Stocks

New York, Dec. 3.-In the absence of
definite of specific developments over
the Weekend, the extreme lassitude of
todays stock market was attribut-
ed to the re-opening of Cangress to-
morrow. Indications that war appro-
priations by the nations law making
body are to assume record breaking
proportions sutf1ced to limit opera :
lions to the meagre total of 21.O0U

active rails and equipments remained
unquoted throughout the session.
The irregular strength of marine pre-

Ia the darkest days tor the
Southern Confederacy, Jefferson
Davis refused to consider the pro-
position to enlist the mere boys
with the statement, I'VE must not
grind the seed corn of the race. :"
The seed corn of the race and the
nation may be ground quite as
fine, even if more slowly, in fac
tories as in the trenches. The ma
ion would do we'll at this time TO
remember the words of the south
ern statesman.
There is need for this nations
industries to speed up. but not by
putting the children and the women
on the treadmill or prematurely
breaking down the men now at
work. The increase in output and
in quality of goods must come by
putting the slackers to work and
introducing efficiency in industrial
management.

With the exception of Repre-
sentative Watkins, the Louisiana
delegation stands solidly behind
President Wilson on his selective
draft policy.
Our congressman made an adj
dress in the House Monday that
was received with wild applause,
in which be denounced the Volun-
teer System recommended by the
Military Affairs Committee as IN
scientific, undemocratic and inef-
fective.
This speech was not only . very
eloquent and brilliant one, but
full of sound logical reason and
convincing and stirred his Natchi-
toches friends so, that a telegram
of congratulations and apprecia-
ton of his loyal support of the
President was sent him signed by

Louisiana viii be big asset to the
United States in the war with Ger
many" L. C. Spencer, president of
the Spencer college. New Orleans, told
1900 teachers at the convention of the
Louisiana association. "This state will
sweeten the coffee and tea-cup of the
nation, it will salt its potatoes and it
will provide oil for the machinery
literal oil for liter al machinery"
Mr.. Spencer's address was an argu-
ment intended to prove Louisiana is
one of the greatest states in the union
and the interest displayed and the ap-
plause evoked indicated the speaker
was convincing.
Louisiana leads, for instance" said
Mr.. Spencer, in the sulpher markets
of the world, supplying one-half of the
worlds consumption; salt mines of the
state are the greatest in the western
hemisphere; the gas production of the
state ranks among the greatest in the
country: Louisiana is the second great
est lumber producing state in the
union; the greatest natural foundation
for the oyster industry is to be found
in Louisiana; the native oil fields, al
though, comparatively speaking, only
touched by prospectors and producers,
already places the state fifth in rank
among the oil producing states; and in
various sections Of the state deposits
Of potash have been found. "

Food Preparedness Cam.
paiBn In Natchit0cheS1
Parish

A representative number of cit.
liens met at the Court House Sat
urday in response to the call for
organization under the superyis-
ion of the State Commission for
a food preparedness campaign and
an organization was effected with
committees and sub-committees
appointed that began work imme-
diately.
A whirlwind campaign is being
made as the season is advancing
rapidly and while it is never too
late to do good, this is the best sea-
son for planting garden and food
stuffs, and the gospel of prepared
ness must be exploited just at this
particular time, so the different
committees are meeting the people
of everyone of the ten wards IN
Natchitoches parish and preaching
this gospel intelligently, earnestly,
and convincingly.
It is estimated that over 700
people in the outlying districts in
different wards were reached Sun
day and the committees report
that all are responsive and will
willingly do all in their power to
help the work. Garden clubs are
being organized all over the par
ish that will be merged later into
canning clubs and if this garden
spot of the State, many-claim the
world-does not study, learn and
beautifully illustrate the lesson of
preparedness being taught so in
diligently, it will not be the fault
Of the committees on production,
labor, economy, utilization. fin
ance, mobilization and publicity
that are dong the work with the
assistance of the local Papers. 81

To The Farmer of
NatchitOcheS Parish

Every reliable report indicates that
there is a shortage in the worlds sup
/ ply Of food stutfS, particularly of meat,
potatoes, and the grains We use most
! largely for food and for sustaining our
domestic animals. President Wilson,
! in a recent address, says, "The su-
preme test of the nation has come
| We must all speak, act and serve to-
gather". He reminds us that there
many things we must do and do it we'll,
besides fighting. We must not only
supply abundant food for ourselves and
for our armies and our seamen, but for
large part of the nations of Europe.
The President appeals to all farmers,
and particularly does he appeal to the
farmers of the South, to plant abund-
ant food stuffs as we'll as cotton.
This, then, is time OF great respon-
sibility and brings with it the greatest
opportunity that has ever been pre-
sented to the farmers. Exceptionally
high prices are certain, they are now
high and will be higher. The farmer
will be both wise and patriotic if he ex-
erts every energy towards large food
production. Wars are lost or won by
the amount of food supply.
In the present emergency the coun-
try needs the help of every man. wom-
an, and child in Louisiana Shall Nat
chitoches do her share? How can it
best be done?
Come to meeting of the farmers of
the Parish at the Natchtoches Court
House, Friday, April 10th, at o'clock,
that we, as producers, may discuss how
we can be of greater service to our
country, for everyone who creates or
cultivates garden or other food crop,
helps, and helps greatly, to solve the
problem of the feeding of the nations.
and every housewife who practices
strict economy puts herself in the ranks
of those who serve the nation.
Come and invite every farmer and |
farmers wife in your community to
come with you.
