THE STATE PRESS.

Assumption Pioneer: The slight
business depression which immedi-
ate.y followed The declaration of war
by the United States against Ger
many, has given away to greater
prosperity than ever before.
Colfax Chronicle: Even if the war
should end this year, which seems
cutie doubtful ct this tinge, the
American Institute OF Agriculture
SAYS the United States must APPLY
strict food measures. The shortage
OF food for this year is certainty,
and it can hardly be greatly Helped
for a year or two after peace IS de-
claIcd.
Aiexandria Town Talk: Economy
is needed irnperative,y if we are to
win the war, avoid needless suffering
and mitigate the suffering of the rest
Of the world. But it must be inte!li-
gent economy. It must be economy
applied not to the curtailment of
normal, sensible production and con-
sun, Dtion Of necessaries Of life, but to
| The elimination Of waste. It must be
fruea ity-not parsimcny or miser-
| illness.
Ruston Leader: Do you know how
to make GOOD, old time Johnny
cake? # you do not then you should
get some cd cook Of ante bellum DAYS
Is show you how TO 60 il. There is
no article CT food more delicious to
hungry man, no bread more satisfy
ing. You can make meal off of it
and have that hungry feeling dis
appear. We have long wondered
why housewives discarded the good
old Johnny cake.

which caused our little neighbor

many is laudable indeed, being thu
spirit of thankfulness for what thu
United States did for them in the wa
,..ith Spain nearly twenty years ago
She offers a force Of ten thousan.
, trained soldiers to aid us. Sucl
gratitude is admirable, but beyont
this there is another reason. Cub;
; is moved by the noble, God-give'
spirit Of humanity and is willing t
sacrifice its soldiery in the effort t

, beings so ruthless'y carried on by tn
mad ruler of Germany.

Farmers and the Liberty Loan.

One aspect of the $4,000, 200, 900
lean, the Liberty Loan OF 1917, that
the farmers of America will wei con-
slider is that a very great portion OF
the money raised by tha bond issue
will come directly into the pockets
Of the farmers of the Nation.
All Of the money advanced to our
allies will be expended in the United
States, and as they are making all
their own munitions, practically al! of
the money advanced them will be
spent for products of the farms-fer
cotton for clothing and high explo-
sives, wool for clothing and leather
for shoes; but far the greater part Of
the money loaned our allies Will be
expended here for food products.
In few months the United States
viii have under arms 100000 men
and 100000 reserves in training: Sc
including the Navy, there will be
100000 men that our Government
will feed and clcthe. This will make
the United States Government by far
the largest single customer the farm
ers Of America have.
The Secretary Of the Treasury Is
employing such methods in handling
| the loan that no community will be
dsnuded of money by reason Of
Liberty Loan Bond purchases. The
money viii be left in local banks anc
as the Government purchases foo.
and supplies the money raised by tn
bond issue will pass back into The
pockets Of the people.
The farmers Of the country should
subscribe literally to the Liberty
Loan Bonds. They get the Safest in
vestment in the weird and then
money supplies their best customer
the funds to purchase their products
This is political economy the wisdom
of which is nlain to every one.

Is your boy fighting in France?
If not, is he in training to go? If he
should so to the front to fight for
his country you will feel that you
would like to put aside something
during his absence that you would
like to leave to him-something that
will be for him alone. It is a COM
mendable spirit on your part. The
Banner urges that you might pur-
chase forty or eighty-acre tract Of
land with view of leaving it to him.
That's something that will not perish
during his absence, nor can it be de-
stroyed even by fire. In the event of
your death you may still leave it to
him. Select and purchase for him
now a tract of Bossier Parish cut
over land. By the time he returns
home it may ba high in price and out
of his reach. Help him to OWN HIS
OWN HOME.

By act Of Congress, and effective
July 1st, matter advertising intoxi-
eating liquors and newspapers con-
tanning such advertising will be barred
from the mails. Also, after that date
it will be in violation of this act to
solicit orders in dry territory, and the
transportation of intoxicants from a
wet to a dry territory is forbidden.
There are now throughout the Union
many dry states. Louisiana is not in
that column, but within the state
there are thirty-four dry parishes and
three others that are partially dry,
AS time passes this list will grow.
Developments Of the past go to indi-
cate that such will follow. It is true
that prohibition does not always pro-
hibit. But it is also true that with
each Tightening grip of the forces at

more nearly prohibits, and the day
will soon come when such argument

Senator N. C. Williamson of Milf
ken has announced that he is pre-
pairing bill providing for new
100000 capitol building, to be in
PRODUCED at the next regular meeting
of the General Assembly. The pres
ent old capitol building at Baton
Rouge is unfit fer the demands of the
day and is, by far, not in the class Of
recent capitol buildings erected by
sister Southern states. Also, it is
pointed out that it is not of suffi-
Gent size to house all the departments
of state, number of them being
donlicilcd in the new court building
in New Orleans. All Of them should
be in enc city and under the same
roof, so the demand for the new
building would seem urgent. Alexan-
Dire, the NEST centrally located city
in the state, and long an aspirant to
become its seat of government, will
no doubt again get actively in the
running. And why wouldn't State
Capital further removed from New
Orleans be more desirable, anyway?

A REUNION FARCE.

One feature of entertainment
offered the Confederate veterans who
attended the Washington Reunion
last week consisted of the singing of
"If You Want to Have a Good Time
Jine the Cavalry" Maryland, My
Maryland" and other old-time lays
to which those of the South marched
to battle during the sixties. A group
of young men from Portsmouth, Va,
dressed in gray Confederate jackets
performed this service. This surely
must have been enjoyed by the veter-
ans of Dixisland, so well familiar
with the lines of those old favorites
even to this day, and its conception
was happy thought on the part Of
some one. Also, we note from the re-
ports Of the reunion that there were
a number of other fitting features Of
entertainment offered the veterans.
But what is going to excuse Wash
ington in the eyes Of the nation for
not providing sleeping quarters in
sufficient number for these now aged
and fast failing patriots of the Lost
Cause?
It is reported that the hotels were
crowed to overlooking with those in
Washington soliciting war supply con-
tracts, visitors to the reunion and
others, and that these old men were
forced to do the best they could
many of them sleeping on the steps
and in the entrances to public build
ings. Fifty-odd years ago they were
physically fit to meet such conditions
and could bear the brunt of about a.
severe treatment as any body of mes
to be found anywhere. But not 81
to-day. And surely they should ex
pect better treatment at the hands o.
any citv that invited them to gather
within its limits for one of their an
nual reunions. 1t would seem fore
gene conclusion that Washington neet
never again bid for the Confederate
Reunion. And now that this reunion
has passed the veterans should no
care rap, for the proper place TO
their gatherings is in the cities of tn
South. Invitations from elsewher
should in future be refused, if no
entirely disrcgarded.
