 Sir Eric Campbell Geddes, late con troller of the navy, the new head of the British navy as first lord of the admiralty, is railroad man with four years of American experience. He has done notably well everything he has taken hold of since Lord Kitchen CT set him to work on the British railroads in wartime and seems to have a genius for administration, an almost infallible eye for competency, aSgift of getting the best out of men. He is only forty-one years old and was born in Indian of Scottish par ents, who destined dlirn for the army. Developing a bent for engineering, he left England at seventeen years and came to the United States to acquire practical experience. He remained here, at the Homestead steel works, Pittsburgh, and with the Baltimore and Ohio railroad four years.

towns where the owners of the cars registered arc -esidents, the object being to aid the towns to get com plete information of motor vehicles for purposes of taxation.
 The department has noted that a number of applicants for licenses for commercial cars particularly give their business addresses instead Of their home addresses. In cases where the home addresses are in towns other than the business addresses, this is expected to cause confusion, and so the department will, in the future, require every applicant to give his home address.

debate this year will be Resolved
that the Farm Tractor is Profitable
Investment for the Average Western
Farmer" The debate will take
place the last week of school in the
fall term between the Vincent and

ter-Society debate cup is contested
for and the winning society has pos
session of the trophy for the follow
ing year. The Inter-Society debate
serves as training camp for the In
ter-Scholastic debate which comes in
the spring term with the Crookston

prospects at the school this year are
very good as some members of last
years winning teams are again in
school and several students who have
not debated in the past, will be
strong contenders for the remain
ing places on the teams. The ques-
tion for the Crookston debate has not
been decided.

LET US REMEMBER

That a part OF the problem ot
those who stay at home is to helr
feed our allies this winter by send
ing them as much food as we can OF
the most concentrated nutritive
value in the least shipping space.
Cur exports must be increased.
The foods they will need are
wheat, beef, pork mutton, dairy
products and sugar. Observe
wheatless day on Wednesday.
Use corn, oats, rye, barley, or
mixed cereal rolls, muffins, and
bread on Wednesdays, and other
days if possible.
Eat less cake and pastry.
On days when you eat white
bread, if you buy from a baker, or
der day in advance. The baker
then will not bake beyond his needs.
Cut the loaf on the table and on
ly use as desired.
Use stale bread for toast and
cooking.

to be present at this meeting and to
invite all citizens who are not men,

est to every citizen and every citizen

Capt T. L. Morse and Mr.. J. ?.
! Hebert, Representatives for Morgan
/ City and Berwick at the Corpus

report at the Wednesday night meet
ing. Secretary Palmer has some in
teresting news for those who attend

newal CT the sea proGuct5 canning op-
! erations here. He recently cook an
extended trip over the oyster beds
with gentlemen who have canning
interests here and his report will be
based on their findings.
1t is also probable that the Cham

ments to have a great good roads :
meeting in the nature of joint af-
fair between citizens of ST. Mary,
Assumption and Terrebohne Parish
es, such as was held at Houma few
weeks ago and which demands that
St. Mary respond in kind.
Not all the prospects for Berwick

shown by Secretary Palmer at the
Wednesday night meeting. While
Morgan City and. Berwick can net
place absolute confidence in the good
will of New Orleans as whole, still
those communities have friends there
who are interested in the develop
ment of all the state and who are
concerning themselves with the fact
that Morgan City and Berwick have
the finest offerings on the Gulf Coast
for certain industries which must
otherwise be located outside the
state.
Everyone should attend the meet
ing and make it point to be there
promptly.

A WINNING WAR

Every Red Cross Seal you buy is
bullet in Winning War. Tu-
berculosis is preventable and cur
able; it is not hereditary. The
death rate from tuberculosis in our
country has been reduced one-half
within a generation.
That our war in Europe will make
more tuberculosis at home because
of the rigors and dangers of army
life, is certain from the experience
of England, France, Canada and
Germany. This means that you
cannot afford to let the campaign
against tuberculosis in the United
States suffer- If you do your part
and others do their part, we will
win the war abroad and the war
against the White Plague here.

FRENCH WORK AT CAMP
PIKE

Little Rock, Ark. Nov. 2s-Since
the arrival Of the French instruc-
tors, training at Camp Pike has ia,
ken quite change, for prior to
this time the trenches were made
from engineering charts and ac-
cording to Government specifica-
tions, and while they served for the
purpose, they were far short of be-
ing identical with those in France.
The French officers are instructing
the Camp Pikers in the real article,
only dummy grenades and bombs
I ning used in this work.
The first thing the French Off
GERS did was to have constructed
parallel trenches, about foot in
depth, running 20, 25, 80, and 35
yards from a shallow trench in
which the grenade throwers were
stationed. Simply trenches were
dug with another set of grenade
men facing the first lot. This en-
abled the tosser to watch the action
of the men in front, and permit
them also to gauge the distance a
bomb thrown from another trench
will 60. This information will be
valuable when the troops reach for
eign trenches, as they must know
whether a grenade is coming into
the trench, or whether it will fall
short.
Non-commissioned officers from
France spend hours each day in

! course the overhead swing is easy
foC the Americans, even though
they are not as accurate in placing
the heavy dummy in this manner as
they would be with the free arm
throw of the base ball player. And
the French officers are ready to
admit that the American is going to
discard all they are teaching him
when he first gets into a bombing
duel. The reason they say this is
because other Americans have done
it, and others may be expected to
throw the old natural way at the
first German head they see The
officers say the Americans ko6
learn the folly of such action. -
after the excitement of the first ac-
ton has worn away, they return to
the French system and become
highly proficient in it. They de-
clare that the best bombers at the
front are from the United States
soldiers of fortune who have been
for some time with the allied for
ces.

They range in diameter from Q fif-

hiding place for the enemy when
on mischief bent, and bombs are
dropped into all in sight to prevent
snipers and machine gun operators
from lurking there.
