Mt the wharf and looked about him in
amazement. 1t was so years since he
had set foot on American soil, and now
that he had come home tc stay, he felt
like stranger in the land of his ma
tkity.
For 80 years he had made his home
in Porto Delgado, in the Argentine re-
public, laying the foundations of his
fortune. After many vicissitudes he
had grown rich. One thing alone had
troubled him.
That was his daughter Leontine. He
had never approved of her engagement
to Jerry Carson. He had fought bitter
ly to get the girl to give up Jerry.
When Jerry departed on his first fruit
less mission to Ravengnr's ledge, he
did not expect to see him again. He
had used the opportunity to press Sc
bastian's suit.
And he had been influenced by sor-
did motives. He was in financial
straits, and Sebastian had aided him
in return for his assistance in influenc-
ing the girl against Jerry. Jerry's re-
turn had shaken John Walcott; then,
when the young man was accused of
the murder Of Sebastian's brother, and
found guilty on the strength Of the
forged document, John Waicott re-
joiced. To do him justice, he honest
ly believed that Jerry was murderer
and thief. He could not share Le-
ontine's grief for him, and he believed
that she would forget him.
He had urged Sebastian's suit, and

The love for the beautiful

the things that were denied them
when they were growing up. You
should not envy your child his op-
portunity.
II our boys and girls are given
q musical education, one that is
rich in melody and harmony, and
are brought to appreciate the
beautiful they will not become
absorbed in the lower things in
life. 1t is true that all cannot he.
come great painters but we can
instill in the child love for the
beautiful in art and nature. II
we hang gaudy pictures with
loud, clashing colors, where the
child is forced to look at them
day after day, he will not care
for the soft colors, pleasing to
the eye. If we cannot secure tt
original paintings of the old mas.
tiers, we can at least purchase re.
productions which are far super.
ior to the fancy pictures and gay
calendars SO common today. The
child should be taught the history
of our great painters, the picture
should be studied, and the lesson
it seeks to convey should be. ex-
planned to the child. In this wav
he soon learns to appreciate
painting. He will also learn to
abhor the home that is inartistic
in its furnishings and decorations,
for even the humblest cottage can
contain these qualifications. Mrs.

ATTENTION CITIZENS!

The President by proclamation
calls for 10000 volunteers for
service in the Regular Army The
National Defense Council at
Washington has called upon The
State Defense Councils to coope-
rate with the United States Array
Recruiting Officers in securing
volunteers to bring up the Rega-
lar Army to war strength of 300,
600 men. The 10000 volunteers
called for by the president are
needed at once to complete the
regiments of Infantry and Field
Artillery and to maintain them at
their full war strength.
In response to this call, the I'M
dersigned member of the State
Defense Council of the State of
Louisiana, residing in the Lake
Charles District, which district
is comprised of the following par
isles: Calcasieu, Cameron, Beau
regard, Allen, Jefferson Davis,
Acadia, Vermilion, Lafayette,
Iberia and St. Mary, bring this
important matter to your atten-
ton.
This is volunteering for service
in the Regular Army and the en-
listments will be for the period of
the war only, unless sooner dis
charged. It is not for State Ma
tional Guard service, nor does it
concern the selective draft. Ut is
the most valuable volunteer serv-
ice that you can render to your
country. The time for volunteer
ing is now. Facilities are in read
mess for placing this 10000 men
at proper training. Delay means
the loss of valuable time. Vol
unteering now will place you
among troops, the larger proper
ton of which are well trained,
and differed by competent
trained officers, thereby making
the work and training of the re-
cruit much lighter and easier, and
will give him the advantage Of
time and voluntary service, which,

Just as the merchants are help

the production of more food ant
feeds
If the merchants Of the South
are alive to their patriotic and
business duties, they will so or
ganize themselves in every city
town and hamlet, that not 4
pound of any foodstuff produced
and put in marketable condition
by the farmers of the South will
fail of the best possible market
under the conditions there exist
ing.
Will our merchants and the
non-producing people living in
the South perform their patriotic
duty, as they are now calling on
the farmers of the South to do
theirsY We believe they will,
but they should lose no time in
making this certain, for the best
incentive to the small farmer to
produce more foodstuffs will be
the assurance that when they are
produced they will be marketable
at fair price. It seems to us
good prices for food and feeding
stuffs are assured, so all that re-
mains to be done is for the cities
and towns to organize effectively
for efficient marketing. If this
is done, then the farmers Of the
South simply must not fail in
their duty. And Of course they
should themselves organize for
cooperation with commercial
agencies in effecting scientific
marketing. = The Progressive

AN ERA OF COOPERATION

The Secretary Of the Interior,
Mr.. Lane, in an interview in the
New York Times of May 6, dis
cusses the nation s war plan. OF
particular interest are his remarks
on cooperation in industry, as
compared with the anarchic in
dividualism which has marked
previous times, but no longer
serves. Mr.. Lane says, in part:
"We are just beginning in the
United States, on this work of
broad-guage organization and CO.
operation. The war has walked
us up to the necessity Of it. 1t
has shown beyond all question
that democracy cannot rest on
economic anarchy and the great
test for us is going to be to get
rid Of such anarchy.
1--WE cannot continue to blum
der along under conditions which
make for a shortage Of labor in
one section Of the country and en-
forced idleness in another part;
of scarcity and high prices of u
commodity here and of quantities
Of that same commodity going to
waste elsewhere. =
"The war is going to teach us
how to put an end to these
things and, after the war, we are
going to produce more wheat,
more everything. than ever before,
and with less waste than ever be-
fore. But it is going to be hard
lesson.
1T is no reflection on our So
ciety to admit now that we need
reforming, for it took such ire
mendous thing as this war to
make the need manifest to our
selves. We have, without realiz-
ing it, carried indiyidualism to the
point of selfshness-wh it was
in danger Of defeating itself.
Now we will conserve individual
ism and individual initiative for
this country by showing its prop
Fer limits as marked by the abso-
lutte necessity of cooperation.

MARKETS FOR FOOD
PRODUCTS: AN AP-
PEAL TO MERCHANTS

The question is now bein!
frequently asked by farmers, "E
We produce a surplus of feed anc
food crops will we be able to fine
a market for themg" Some have
suggested that if the Government
expects the South to produce a
large crop of corn, for instance, ii
should guarantee it a price Of not
less than 81 a bushel. No doubt
such a guarantee would increase
the production of corn, but the
young man who, goes to the front
and faces the bullets of our enc
mics does not demand or receive
assurances or guarantees that he
will not lose his life.
1t is the duty of the Southern
farmer to first produce all the
food and feed supplies required
on the farms of the South that it
is practicable for him to produce.
1t is his duty to do this regard
less Of prices or guarantees #
prices. But this is not all his
duty. It is his patriotic duty to
produce the food and feed sup
plies necessary to feed the peo-
pie living in the cities and towns
of the Southland. and even more,
that we may help to feed the ma
tions fighting with us. The man
who does not see his duty simply
fails to appreciate his full obliga-
tions as a citizen Of a free coun-
try in time Of need-he is a slack
ef.
But If the people of the cities
and towns are to be insured food
and feed supplies, then they too
have an equally important duty
Is perform. We have little re-
spect for the man who loudly
proclaims the patriotic duty Of
the boys to volunteer to go to the
front and Of the farmers to pro-
produce feed and food supplies
and then, while merchandising is
his business, fails to do all pos
sible to provide the farmers of
his community means Of mar
keting at current prices all the
food and feed products they grow.
The farmer is not entitled to
any guarantee as to prices, unless
the whole scope Of business is
controlled and regulated and pri-
ces of all commodities fixed
labor, manufactured materials,
ETC., as well as farm products.
But he is entitled to market or
marketing facilities for his pro-
ducts, and it is the duty Of the
merchants to supply those facili-
ties, for that is their business.
While the merchants are rightfully
helping to organize farmers for
the production of more foodstuffs,
it is equally important that they

CANNING FRUIT WITHOUT
SUGAR.

Washington, D. c., June 29.-
Fruit for use in pie or salads or
as stewed fruit can be put up or
canned without the use Of any
sugar at all, according to the
canning specialists of the Depart
ment. They, therefore, advise
those who, because Of the high
price Of sugar, have been think
ing the amount Of fruit they put
up, to can as much of their sur
plus as possible by the use Of boil.
ing water when sugar strip is be-
yond their means. Any fruit,
they say, may be successfully
sterilized and retained in the pack
by simply adding boiling water
instead Of the hot sirup. The use
Of sugar, Of course. is desirable
in the canning of all kinds Of
fruits and makes a better and
ready-sweetened product. More
over, most of the fruits when
canned in water alone do not re-
tain their natural flavor, texture
and color as well as fruit put up
in strip. Fruit canned without
sugar to be used for sauces or
desserts must be sweetened.
Directions for Canning
Fruits. Without Srup.
Can the product the same day
it is picked. Gull, stem, or seed,
and clean the fruit by lacing it
in a, strainer and pouring water
over it until it is clean. Pack
the product thoroughly in glass
jars or tin cans until they are full /;
use the handle of tablespoon,
wooden ladle, or table knife for
packing purposes. Pour over the
fruit boiling water from a kettle,
place rubbers and caps in posi-
ton, partially seal if using glass
jars, seal completely if using tin
tin cans. Place the containers i'll
sterilizing vat such as a wash
boiler with false bottom, or other
receptacle improvised for the pur-
pose. If using hot water bath
outfit, process for 80 minutes:
count time after the water has
reached the boiling point; the
water must cover the highest jar
in container. After sterilizing
remove packs, seal glass jars,
wrap in paper to prevent bleach
ing and store in a dry, cool place.
If you are canning in tin cans
it will improve the product to
plunge the cans quickly into cold
water Immediately after steriliza-
ton. When using a steam pres
sure Gamer instead of the hot
water bath. sterilize for ten min
utes with five pounds of steam
hot water bath, sterilize for ten

sure to go over ten pounds.

LAUDS MARYLAND WAY
OF BOOSTING GOOD ROADS
And British Magazine Admits Amer
lea Occasionally Gets Ahead Of
England in Bright Ideas.

An English magazine contains an inter-
esting little item. and its opening sentence
win make some Americans smile:
Occasionally America gets ahead Of US
in the way of new ideas. and there is
something very attractive in the way they
scheme to instill into their youngsters the
importance Of having good roads through
out the country. In Maryland a special
day is set apart in the schools for the
observance Of what is known as Arbor
and Highway day and in arranging their
respective programs the teachers are
urged to put special emphasis on the sub
ject Of good roads and their many bene-
fits. as well as the advantages Of planting
trees by the roadside.
In this country we are perhaps more
alive to the necessity for good roads than
they are in America, and we have almost
come to look upon them as a matter of
course. but familiarity such as this tends
to breed neglect, and possibly very few
people who are not Immediately concerned
fully realize the value of good roads. nor
how greatly they add to the beauty of the
country and the consequent pleasure of
our lives. Such things as these are to a
great extent a matter Of sentiment and
ideals, and these are most easily created
in childhood"
