" Shove OF

Washington, Nov 29.-Among
the idiomatic terms adopted by Uni
ted States Marines everywhere, the
expression "shove-off" is used more
than any other. In the sea-soldier
lingo, if Marine goes home on
furlough, leaves his camp or gar
-rison, or goes anywhere, he .'shoves
off"
A story comes from France of a
Marine who had been acting as Or
dcrly for lieutenant The officer
sent him on an errand and when he
returned the lieutenant was no.
where about. A poilu, who happen
ed to be lettering in the vicinity,
was questioned by the Marine:
"Havc you seen the lieutenant"
"Oui, monsieur, oui," replied the
poilu, proud Of his newly-acquired
Marine Corps English, ''he have
what you call-pushed over"

HOGS GIVE QUICKEST
INCREASE IN MEAT.

The BEST possible means Of re-
ll2Ving the meat situation would be
to increase the number of hogs OF
every farm. For the average small
farmer the hog and poultry offer
the most effective means of increas-
ing the meat output at any time in
the near future.
In planning for increased hog
production, it should not be forgot
ten that in order to do this profit
ably there must be ample food sup
ply to keep them in good condition.
1t has been found by frequent dem
onstrations that the cheapest way to
produce pork is by furnishing a ro-
tation of good pasture crops
Write to the Experiment Sta
ton, Louisiana Stne University, for
plans of crop rotations for hogs that
have given the best results.

CRUMBS
BY Pauline Worth Ham IN
OF The Visilantes

In olden times there was q certain
Rich Man who was clothed in purple
and fine linen and who dined sump-
tuously every day There was also
Beggar who lay at the gate of the
Rich Man and begged for the crumbs
from the Rich Mans table and was
refused them.
And it came to pass that this
Rich Man died and lifted up his eyes
in He'll. ..
This is an old story. You have
heard it often. 1t can be repeated
in 1917, for the Allies are asking
only the crumbs from the Rich Man
table and if they are not given them
we will lift up our eyes in hell
1t is food that is going to keep
the Germans out of the United
States.
Give it.

Persistent Advertising Pays

If there is one enterprise on
earth that gutter should leave en-
tirely alone, it is advertising To
make success of advertising one
must be prepared to stick like a
barnacle on boats bottom. He
should know before he begins it
that he must spend money-lots Of
it. Somebody must tell him that
he cannot hope to reap results COM
mensurate with his expenditure ear
ly in the game. Advertising does
not jerk; it pulls. 1t begins very
gently at first, but the pull is
steady. it increases day by day
and year by year until it exerts an
Irresistible power-John Wana-
maker.

ny morgan Clty TO the interstate
Inland Waterways League at Cor
pus Christi, made very complete
report of the convention proceed
ings and of their trip. Morgan City
and Berwick are peculiarly fortu-
nate in their geographical location
and, according to the reports Of the
delegates, are in position to par
ticularly enjoy the benefits Of the
Intercoastal Canal providing they
supply proper terminal facilities and
wharfage. The delegates also
brought back a glowing report Of
the cooperation between Texas
towns and cities and they recon-
mended that the c. of C. make it a
special duty to cultivate better
understanding between the towns
and parishes in this territory in an
effort to bring to South Louisiana
the economic and social advantages
which her developed resources need
of a continuous surfaced highway
from New Orleans to the Pacific
and of the benefits which will ac-
crue locally by having such high
way pass through our local towns.
1t has been estimated that hun
dred thousand automobiles will ira
vel the jefferson Highway from the
North to New Orleans each year
and that thirty per cent. or about
an average of 100 automobiles per
day will travel west from the Cres-
cent City. The preferred route
for the tourists west would be the
Old Spanish Trail leading through
Morgan City and Berwick but be-
cause of the present impossible con-
dition of a part of the roadway be-
tween st. Mary Parish and New Or
leans the stream of tourists will be
diverted from these communities
through St. Mary Parish and will
60 west by the way of routes which
traverse Louisiana far to the north
of the Old Spanish Trail. It was
said that if only ten per cent of the
tourists who are coming to Louis
lana in the next few years could be
brought through this most beauti-
full and most interesting section of
the state that the roads would have
returned many times thier cost to
the parishes along the route. The
Corpus Christi delegates were vot-
ed thanks by the business mems
body of Morgan City and Berwick
and their report was entered in full
as a part of the permanent minutes
together with a resolution ac-
knowledging the excellent represen-
tation they had given to this section
of Louisiana at the waterways con-
vention.
The chairman Of the good roads
committee and others present at the
Wednesday night meeting told of a
get-to-gether meeting at Houma
which was held a few weeks for the
purpose of cultivating community
cooperative spirit and for the pur-
pose Of urging the citizens of Ter
rebonne to continue and to increase
their efforts toward surfacing ev-
