received regarding the approaching
event, the exhibits by the Boys Pig
Clubs at the Louisiana State Fair,
October 81 to November 5. inclusive,

the Juvenile swine exhibitors have
been wonderfully successful, and
there is every reason to expect that
this years show will meet with great
success. Reports reaching the man.
agement show that many parishes
will be represented with scores Of fine
blcoded pigs raised by boys on exhibit
don. Some pigs belonging to girls are
also expected to be shown, as there
are some girl members of the Pig
Clubs.
A new feature has been listed for
the Pig Club exhibit this year. II Is
Fat Hog class. Plans have been per-
fected whereby many packing houses
will bid on the pigs in THIS class.
Three hundred head are expected to
be offered for sale. At least five
packing companies have promised to
bid. In addition, the packing plants
have added $3.50 to the premium, so as
to give an additional inducement to
the Juvenile pig raisers to have their
products at the fair.
Counting the $3.50 offered by the
packing houses, there will be $3.50
awarded for members OF the Pig Club
this year. This includes the $1,000 the
fair association offers for displays In

the love tokens which Cupid had
brought to make pleasant the happy

is performance that touches the
highest pinnacle of platform art, I'M

Perhaps Landon's greatest Speak

scale demanded.
These places have already begun
to resound with the shipbuilding
noises that have been stilled for
many years. The national govern
meat is figuring upon the 10000
workmen that are needed to make
an effectual beginning-if necessary.
1t will conscript them. Plans are al
ready under way for 1000 ships of
from 5000 to 1000 tons--in all, a
tonnage OF from 100000 to 4.000,-
600.
Ships Can BE Ready
BY September.
We shall begin to launch these
vessels in September. and shall then
be ready to float about 100000 tons
of mount-an amount that can be
greatly increased as necessities re-
quire. The motive power of these
ships will be steam; they will be
armed against submarines, will have
wireless, and will maintain good
speed They will cost about $500
900 each, and will carry crews of
obout thirty-five men.
About the time Mr.. Hoover has
his large food supply ready, these
ships will start from a dozen Amerl-
can ports on their adventurous voy-
ages. American war-craft will police
lanes from American ports against
German submarines. while the Brit
ish and French navies will take all
possible precautions for their safe
arrival on the other side-and their
own guns will not be idle. Some,
perhaps a great many. will be lost;
but If hundred and more yards in
the United States are turning them
out daily, these wooden ships will
take the sea much more rapidly than
btIlldu Sdh uSSlioy
them.
Billions in loans to the Allies and
thousands of ood-boats-here we
have Americas first blow against
Germany. If, after these facilities
are ready, Europe needs our armies,
she will get them-and not by the
hundreds of thousands, but by the
millions. According to present plans.
we shall have these huge armies
ready when, by the aid of our food
and boats, we shall have destroyed
the submarine menace. Whatever
we shall ever have to use them, in
large numbers, is another question.

Above everything else. he would de

fleet now anchored in the Kiel Cana
and the Baltic; that is, the worlds
two greatest navies would become q
single force. Probably Germany
would also annex the greater part oi
the English mercantile fleet--alsc
the largest in the world.
What would such transaction
mean to the world? II would instan-
taneously demoralize and English
and French forces in France; for the
prowess of the English navy Is the
chief agency in supplying these
armies with food and munitions.
Russia would disappear overnight as
a military factor. All supplies of
war to Archangel would be cut off
Germany could easily send war ships
to the East, isolate Japan, and at
the same time keep all supplies from
reaching Russia from Vladivostok.
The Salonica expedition would be
starved to surrender in a few weeks,
and the whole of Asia Minor and
India would become provinces of the
German empire.
There would be only one power in
the world that could conceivably Of
fer any resistance to the Germans;
that is the United States; and any
resistance from us would be rather
short-lived. The German navy, es-
peclally IL reinforced by the English
ships. would have little difficulty in
capturing and destroying the Ameri-
can fleet.
Our shores would thus be laid open
to invasion. If Germany succeeds in
subduing England by blockade, she
will accomplish this stupendous task
before the first of September. BY
that time we could have organized no
military force competent to handle
seasoned veterans. Then. for us,
would come submission; huge in
demnity would be exacted; and the
Monroe Doctrine would be no moro. |
Germany would thus stride over the |
world; the doctrine of might against |
right would have accomplished its
supreme justification; democracy
would be at an end; and the world |
would be reorganized on the Prus-
sian model.
What are the chances that Ger
many, in case we keep hand off. may
Destroy British and neutral shipping
o an extent that England bay be sub

England are cherishing no such IL

ools' paradise. You can not fight
with your mouth; and
merely pooh-poohing the possibility

Submarines Are Sinking
100000 Tons a Month.

Germany's indifference to our re-
by the fact that she genuinely be-
lieves that her ruthless submarine
campaign will be a success. When
the Germans began. they figured that
the destruction of 100000 tons q
month would soon bring England TO
her knees. They have not sunk this
| 100000 tons, but they have sunk
half that amount-500,000 tons a
month, In the approaching summer
months the submarine should in
crease this average, not only because
| the weather will be more favorable.
I but because these destructive vessels
are being launched in constantly in
creasing numbers, That Germany,
before fall. may reach the 100000
monthly tonnage is not impossible.
Just how much shipping England and
the neutrals have is not known since
a large proportion OF the tonnage Is
being used, not to transport food
stuffs. but in purely military service
to France, to Salonica, to the Persian
Gulf, and TO Canada. II is freely
acknowledged. however, that ships
are being sunk much more rapidly
than they are being launched.
Clearly, therefore. Americas mill
tary duty is plain. 1t is not to build
dreadnoughts and battle cruisers that
will be ready for service three years
from now; 1t is not even to send Il
"expedltionary force" for its moral
effect" A force, even so small az
100000 men, would demand large
tonnage, not only for transportation,
but for continuous supply. and would
thus consume shipping that might be
