URGENT NEED FOR MEAT.
Worldwide Shortage Offers Excep
tional Opportunity to Farmers.

Since the outbreak of the presen
war, there has been gradual destruc
tlon OF our meat producing animals
both abroad and at home.
Every American, regardless o:
wether his status be that of farmer
lawyer, or fnancier, in his own in
terest, in the interest of the nation
and in the interest of the war, mus
turn his energies toward an increased
production of meat producing ami
mails.
With compound lard at 25 cent
per found, dry shoulders al 80 cents
land bacon at 40 cents, say the wolve:
will soon be at our doors unless heee
is taken of the request of our govern
ment that all channels be cleared fol
the speeding up of an increased pro
duction of our meat producing ami
mails. As pork is the most satisfac.
tory meat to ship long distances, anc
to store after it's destination is reach.
ed, it is well that we remember that
this and fat are produced quicker anC
more cheaply than any other meat.
Let us also call to mind that since
the beginning of this war, the number
of swine in belligerent countries has
been constantly and rapidly decreas-
ing. In fact, there are less hogs in
the United States today than there
were in 1915, and mind you, our feed
ing responsibilities have increased
enormously, for not only must we
feed ourselves, but we must see also
that our soldiers and allies are fed
equally as well. In 1914 our exports
of pork products aggregated 5,00O,-
900 pounds with a value Of $55,000,-
600, whereas in 1917 cur exports will
be 981, 100000 pounds having value
of SITS, 100000.
For over three years the world has
been consuming pork products faster
than it has produced them, and the
consequences are we are today facing
shortage, worldwide In Its scope
and unprecedented in it's acuteness.
In view of these conditions, the
southern farmer has the glowing op-
portunity of his life, such a one that
means millions to us If we will only
awake and take advantage of it. Re
member, it is necessary for the north
ern and western farmers to keep their
hogs on bin-stored feeds throughout
the late fall and winter months,
whereas the southern farmer has his
on pasture year in and year out, and
is feeding relatively little of his high
priced corn, and our southern climatic
conditions are such that it is possible
for us to have growing crop ready
for our hogs to harvest every day IN
the year.
Hence, endowed by nature, fortun-
ed by providence, it is up to Louisl-
anians to place their state in the fore
front in pork products.
Yours for an increased production
of hogs,
J. OSWALD MONTEGUT,
Demonstrating Agent for Ascension.

"The Outsider. !"

The Grand will offer as it's principal
Sunday attraction "The Outsider" a
mystery play involving society
crooks, with dainty Emmy Wehlen in
the leading role. The rapid action
which characterizes the story begins
with the opening scene, and the chain
of circumstances forged by the clever
plot is strong enough to hold the at
tention of the spectator until the last
foot of film. The photography is up
to the Metro standard, there being
some particularly pleasing exterior
locations. -

"The Bottom Of the Well"

Romance, intrigue and mystery are
skillfully interviewer in "The Bottom
of the Well," which the Grand will
show next Friday. The picture is
based upon a magazine story OF the
same name by Frederick Upham
Adams, and deals with a thrilling ep-
isode in the career of stern capitalist
who came to know the other side of
life through dramatic experiences not
of his own choosing. Evart Overton
is the featured player. .*.

"In Again-Out Again"

A typical Fairbanks picture, SIN
Again-Out Again." which comes to
the Grand Tuesday, presents the

The scenes of the play are located in
and about New Jersey, and portray
a story dealing with the romantic and
spectacular career of a young blood
who goes through numerous trials and
tribulations to win the girl of his
choice. Many surprises are evolved
during the course Of the picture,
which is crammed throughout with
hearty laughs and is generally re
garded as the greatest of all Fair
banks triumphs on the screen.

"More Truth Than Poetry"

In addition to being the star in
"More Truth Than Poetry" which
will be the Monday offering at the
Grand, Madame Petrova is also the
author Of the story. The subject is
a society drama based on domestic
infidelity. The opening scenes show
a novelist debating to her steno-
grapher; then the action shifts and
the story is visualized. Just as the
climax is reached an interruption oc-
ours and the story remains unfinished.
A satisfactory ending is secured by
showing the elimination of the novel

"The Tenth Case"

June Elvidge is starred alone in
'The Tenth Case" which the Grand
announces as its attraction for Thurs
day. The plot centers about di-
vorce trial in which the presiding
Judge finds the wife guilty and char
acterizes her defense as too ridicu-
lous for belief. To prove her case
the defendant ingeniously stages the
identical situation in the judges own
home, convincing him that he cannot
rely solely on circumstantial evidence
and incidentally clearing her own
character.

 The committee of award have given $S2 to the owners of Cedar Swamp to compensate them for it's appropriation by the Aquednct Co.,, and the money has been paid into the county treasury subject to the order of the owners as they may establish their claims. Cedar Swamp is a tract of AZ acres, and when the town was originally settled each land holder held an interest therein, the right chiefly valued being that to cut from the land cedar poles for fencing and other purposes. As the farms have been sub.divided and sold; in many instances no oognizance has been taken in the deed of the small interest held in the swamp, and at the present time the question of title is in many instances quite foggy, and it is perhaps fortunate that the sum on deposit at Holland is not large enough to encourage litigation among claimants with shaky titles.
