Mrs. TrousdsIe Visits BeIcher.

Mrs. Fannie May Trousdale, re
Gently in Benton to set forth the
claims of our good town and its resi-
dents in an exhaustive article that
appeared in the Shreveport Times,
last week visited Belcher, with like
designs on that worthy burg, and a
write-up of much interest has re-
suited. That Mrs. Trousdale was de-
lightfully surprised in what she found
in Belcher seems to be reflected IN
about everything she had to say about
both its people and several institu-
tions. And in her description of the
pretty Briarfield home, it's lawn and
endless profusion of flowers she
fairls runs riot in her profusion Of
ecstacies. In setting forth the ma
terial wealth Of Belcher she says in
one paragraph:
'sThis fair, small village of Belcher
how large is it, do you ask? just
exactly the right size to be an ideal
place to live in. It has dozen bust
ness houses, paved sidewalks, the
finest deep we'll water you ever
tasted, fine high school, pretty
churches, lovely houses, fraterna
organizations, snanpy bank, is or
the T. and P. trunkline, has gas fol
lighting and fuel and is going to. have
| electricity and. over and above all, il
has citizenship Of high moral tone
a unitel citizenship pulling always *
a man for Belcher."
All that is much to say for any town
even if this is in prosperous Nortl
Louisiana belt. As to its united citi
zenship, that is indeed proud boast
land right glad should the resident
of our sister town be over the fac
n that there is unity of sentiment il
the promotion and disposal of thos
matters pertaining to the welfare o
the town as whole. With its man,
unusual advantages, it may yer
safely be forecasted that Belcher
to become a town of more CONNER
cial Importance, and that perhaps !
the near future.

Canning of Produce Urged.

One day this week MIR. E. S. Burt,
Farm Demonstration Agent for Bos-
sier Parish, informed the reporter
that he, is still busy visiting different
points in the parish and uring the
canning of foodstuffs and assisting
in the preliminary steps to lead to the
successful accomplishment of this
commendable and necessary move
ment. He has been informed by Hon.
Bradford Knapp, in the employ OF the
Federal Government. that there are
plenty of cans and that they will be
freely distributed. The merchants
all over the South will be asked to
handle cans and dispose Of them at
cost to all who apply. Mr.. Burt said
that in Bossier Parish it is antici-
pated that practically every merchant
will receive with favor this sugges-
ton.
Just now it is DESTROYS of ascertain
ing how many cans are wanted II
each community so that the order:
may be given in. This is lmportan
and those interested should at onc'
communicate with Mr.. Burt. We ar.
informed that at the four higi
schools of the parish pubic canning
watts win be put in, and in ample tim
to accommodate the rush Of the can
ming season. These will be open t
the public, pupils and grown-up
alike, and the school grounds will b
made canning headquarters for a
wide scope of country as possible
Plain Dealing, Mr.. Burt thinks, no'
has about 5000 cans, or its equivalen
in cans and jars, and will need abou
10000 more. Other communities ar
expected to use cans in about thu
proportion to population.
It was suggested that beans. tom;
toes, field peas and okra, all goo
products for canning, may be plante
as late as july. The peach crop, !
, caid, will be good and there will
plenty Of this fruit for canning.

column. of Sundays issue of the
Shreveport Times:
"Mrs. Pennie Ards Mills was
elected Grand Worthy Matron for the
State of Louisiana, Order of Eastern
Star, when in Convention at Ham
mond. This was very fitting recog-
milton of the valuable services rem
dered by Mrs. Mills to her order and
faithful discharge Of duty in different
offices less exalted than the prtsent
one conferred upon her, the highest
in the state. Mrs. Mills was installed
by the Most Worthy Grand Matron
of the United States, Mrs. Emma
Ocoboch of Hartford, Mich, assisted
by the Right Worthy Grand Secre-

ing program was carried out on
Mothers Day at our church. It con-
sisted of songs, recitations, ETC., by
the pupils. The wee tots as well as
the more advanced pupils, deserve
great credit, IS to the manner in
which they rendered their parts. The
success of this affair was in a great

Mrs. A!abel Ogden and Miss Sadie
North. who, bv their untiring efforts,
trained the children.

Wychs's music pupils last Thursday

The Washington times., 1917-09-26
By Mrs. Champ Clark.

It Is said that the original Saxon form of our Eng
sh word lady meant loaf gver, and it would think
be fit time to give the word its ancient significance
In these days of strenuous food conservation the loaf
gver is person of dignity However, can say that
1.-THE waste not want not slogan is new thing for
well remember the impression made upon my
childish mind by the lessons in McGufeys Reader and
better than the story of 1.-THE Three Boys and the
Three Cakes" and it should be reprinted and circu
lated everywhere to teach the children Of the present
generation how to get the most enjoyment out Of LIES
blessings and to learn that the prime secret of happ
ness is to contribute to the happiness of others.
For the benefit of those benighted souls who knew
not McGuffey, will relate as well as may from men,
ory the story of 1.-THE Three Boys and the Three Cakes
which illustrates the meaning Of the Hoover move
ment There was boy named Harry whose mother
said to Betty the maid: Betty Harry has been very
good boy and learned his lessons well think should
send him cake"
with all my hear" said Betty So she made him
the cake and stuffed it with rasins and citron and
other good things and sent it to Harry he was de-
lighted and he ate it all never giving his schoomates
bite and In consequences was very sick and had to have
the doctor and take lot of very bitter medicine.
There was another boy in that same school, named
Peter. The boys called him "Stingy Peter" Peters
mother sent him cake He said he would not be like
Harry and make himself sick He would keep it long
time So he ate of the cake and put the rest in
box and every day he would slip upstairs and get
piece and put the remainder away for future time
But after time 10 and behold the mice got into his
box and ate most Of the cake and rendered what
left unfit for service, the boys all glad and
pointed the finger Of scon at Peter and his mother sent
him more cakes.
Now, there was boy in that same school named
Billy, who, when his mother sent him cake called all
of the boys onto the playground and divided the CAKE
giving each of them piece and then took piece him
SELF and perceiving that there some of his cake
left told the boys that they would keep the for
morrow, but old blind man, led by faithful dog,
entering the lot at that moment Billy went without say
ing word and handed the remainder of the cake to the
blind man, who divided it with the dog and said:
"Thank you, good child"
Now if understand the Hoover movement it
means not to be guttons like Harry nor hoard
ers like Peter but to be generous and free handed like
Billy, who shared with his friends remembering that
the Lord loves cheerful gver and he that giveth to
the poor endeth to the Lord No matter how rich we
are in the worlds goods can't take anything out of
treasure in heaven where neither moth nor rust doth
corrupt and where thieves do not break through nor
steal"
