Five thousand copies of the fifth
annual catalogue of the South Loulsl-
ana Fair have been distributed among
the farmers and other citizens OF
south Louisiana, and the great number
and variety of premiums offered
amounting to more than S40Oo III
cash, taken in connection with the
great interest the whole country no"
feels in food production, are guaran-
tees that the big fair to be held Oct.
A to T will surpass all previous fecofoS
in display of exhibits. .-.-.s..A
Especial interest is beng MANIFEST :
ed this year in the premium oHerea
for the best and largest display OF
nroducts from 81 single farm, and al
though the award last Year went to a
farm in Assumption parish whose
owner exhibited more than seventy
different kinds of farm products, COM
petition will be keener this year. ana
Il is nrobable that higher record yet
will be set.
Another premium which is exciting
interest and competition is the hand
some silver trophy cup which is Of
fered to the exhibitor who wins the
greatest number of blue ribbons IN
more than one department OF the falf'
A premium which would delight che
heart of Col. Theodore Roosevelt Is
the effer of $25 in cash to the largest
family who presents itself in a body
during any day Of the fair. There
are three well-known directors OF the
fair association-two of them form
er presidents-who potentially have
been rival contenders for this pre-
MUM since the very first fair; but as
The &&elettiire siza of their families has
remained the same (the annual IN
crease of their respective families
having kept even pace), the result
has heretofore been a draw. Each OF
the three now has family of twelve,
but each is hoping that thirteen may
prove his lucky number
In keeping with the times, encour"
agement is given to economy IN living
as we'll as the conservation of wheat

WHAT WILL WIN THE WAR.

In an address to the United States
Chamber of Commerce at Atlantic
City, N. j., last Wednesday, Herbert
c. Hoover, national food administra-
tor, made the significant declaration
that starvation will win the war and
America must organize her resources,
speed her production and conserve To-
cal consumption of supplies to assure
victory in, the conflict.
Nothing can bring home to us more
forcibly the great fact that it is not
only upon the fighters at the front we
must depend for the triumph OF the
cause OF democracy over autocfacy;
that the stay-at-homes-the men, Wo-
men and children unable to WELD war
like weapons, but who can become
producers of something to eat or
wear-1may be as soldiers in the fray
by helping to provide the things With
out which the troops cannot be mann
tanned to continue the battle for llber-
ty and humanity.
We are all enlisted for the war and
everyone of us can do a mite to WIN
