Peace Proposals in Europe.

Since the German Kaiser SUBJ
mitued his tentative offer of
peace two weeks ago, largely
with a string tied to it for Ger
man advantage. the United
States and other neutral powers
have tried to get the entente al
lies to agree to a discussion of
the peace proposition. In reply
to Mr.. Wilson's note, on Jan. 10
the allies submitted their reply,
in which they make it plain that
they will not entertain any dis
cussion for peace on the Kaiser's
terms. They demand the restor-
alton of Belgium, Serbia ard
Montenegro with indemnities,
the evacuation of invaded terri
tories NTH reparations, the ex-
pulsion of the Ottoman Empire
from Europe, and the reorgani-
cation of Europe with the guar
antee of a stable regime of all
the powers in their rights.

Some Old sensationaIists Revived.

The nation has had a double
affection during the past week in
the shape of sensations from old
stagers. Thomas w. .Lawton and
Harry X. Thaw both have STEP
ped into the limelight again.
Lawton sprang a leak" and
reveled in the publicity of having
the thing investigated by con-
gress which stuck a probe into
his soap bubble and it collapsed.
Thaw has varied his perform
ance somewhat by whipping a
young man with his dog whip,
instead. of the nude girls, OF
which we formerly had such de-
tailed and disgusting accounts.
He is now reported to have at
tempted to kill himself, and it is
to be hoped nobody will prevent
his carrying out this desired end.

Tuesday, Jan. 9. 1917.
The organization elected a

This organization holds itself

Farm Loan Meeting
Called for January q

In accordance with the authori-
cation of Herbert Myrick, chair.
man of the American Farm Fl
nance League, authorized under
the Federal Farm Loan Act, a
mass meeting of the people OF
Grant parish is called to assemble
at the court house in Colfax, on
Saturday, Jan. II. The meeting
is for the purpose of promoting
a new era of prosperity and thrift
among the farmers by enabling
them to enjoy the fullest benefit
possible under the Farm Loan
Act.
Any farm loan association al
ready organized is urged to CO.
operate in this movement. We
make this special mention be-
cause we already have a farm
loan association organized in
Grant parish, and Chairman Ny
rick especially requests that all
such organizations take part in
the meeting called for Jan. q. !
We make special mention of
the Grant parish organization in
another column in which we give
a synopsis of their proceedings
and the names of the officers.
1t is hoped that that there will
be a good representation from
every ward in the parish at the
meeting on the 9th, as this is a
matter of vital Importance to
every farmer, and opens up an
opportunity for independence and
thrift such as has never been
presented to them before.

school Board to Meet in Adjourned
Session,

School Board to Meet in Adjourned
Session.
The parish school board did
not get through with all its busi-
ness last Saturday, and will meet
in adjourned session today to
finish with matters before it.
Prof. Warner has had his time
pretty well taken up all this
week receiving new school hous-
es just completed. The high
school building at Colfax was
finished and will be occupied on
Monday, also the high school
building at Montgomery has been
finished and accepted, and they
are moving into it. Two new
schools have also been completed
in the Aloha and Rock Hill neigh
borhoods.
The board will complete its
proceedings to-day, and these
and other new school buildings
will be embraced in matters up
for their consideration. The out
look therefore is that the pro-
ceedings of the board, which will
doubtless appear in the Chron-
icle next week. will be of very
general interest.

PRICE OF MEAT
CONTINUES TO RISE
Adequate Supply of Good, oId-fashion-
ed, Home-Produced Lard, Bacon,
Hams and Salt Pork Essential.

Finishing-off hogs, either for home
slaughter or for the market, should
receive special attention at this time
on account of the unprecedented high
price of pork and pork products.
Never before. except during the Civil
War, have farmers been able to sell
their hogs for 10 cents per pound live
weight, and there has never been a
time when there were such great op-
portunities for making money in the
production OF hogs for the market.
The fore-sighted farmer will also see
to it that he has an adequate
supply of good, old-fashioned, home
produced lard. bacon, hams and salt
pork. The price of all kinds of edi-
bic fats, both animal and vegetable,
Is constantly mounting, and will prob
ably continue to do so for some time. 1t
is much cheaper to produce both the
fats and meats at home than to de-
pend upon buying, even with twenty
cent cotton. Too many of our farm
ers are tempted to abandon every
other farm enterprise and risk every
thing on cotton. This is too danger
Gus as there are so many factors
which may enter into both the pro-
duction and price of the cotton, and
again the margin of profit in the pro-
duction OF hogs is fully equal to that
Of cotton. But aside from the price
of either, both should be produced on
every well-managed farm in the cot
ton belt.
Packers at the central markets
make difference of from one 20 five
cents per pound on the condition. OF
finish" of the hogs offered for sale,
and there is the same difference in
value to the owner who slaughters his
hogs for homecoming. The crop
which is providing the largest part of
the fat deposited in the bodies Of our
hogs is sweet potatoes, although corn.
soy beans, peanuts, etc., are essential.
Many farmers make practice of kill
ing or selling direct from the sweet
potato fields. while others pen the
hogs for several weeks and feed either
corn alone or corn with cotton seed
meal or tankage to har0en the rat
and bring the hogs to a prime condi-
ton. The latter method is unquestion-
ably the better as it greatly IN
creases the value of the carcass. 1t
10 impossible for hog to be brought
to q prime condition when grazing,
a. too much exercise Is required in
gathering the food, and, after a GER
tain degree OF fairness Is reached.
there will be no further gains, where
as, II the hog is penned and fed all it
will consume, it will still make salts
factory gains. E. L. Jordan,
