A JUST CoURrMARr1AL.

No one who was acquainted
with wartime history expected
any verdict different from that
rendered and executed by the
courtmartial in the case of the en-
listed negro soldiers Of the oath
II. S. Infantry. These men had
engaged in riot in Houston
Texas. in the course of which they
had killed outright IA white and
three negro cities of Houston and
had wounded scores Of innocent
people.
The soldier in wartime is sub.
ject to the discipline Of his own
authorities. He is equipped with
the most. powerful imaginable
machinery for he destruction OF
life and property. He is trained
and skilled in the use of weapons
Therefore, infraction of discipline
of any sort is looked upon by the
authorities as being far more SER
ious in the case of soldier than
in the case Of civilian.
The military authorities have
shown their disposition absolutely
to control their men, not only In
America, but in Europe. Recently
a soldier in General Pershing 8
army in France was executed for
committing assault upon French
woman.
The whole nation, irrespective
pf race. will approve the findings
of the courtmartial in San An
aonio. Owing to the large num-
Der of men executed or given
life sentences. the punishment ac-
corded at first blush seemed dras-
tic. But the crime committed IS
one Of the most serious possible
in the eyes of army authorities. =

Our soldiers are pouring into
France by the tens Of thousands.
They have carried with them
rifles and ammunition and equip
ment and-food.
France cannot feed the Ameri-
can army. Everybody knows
that. She lis in such desperate
straits that not only must we
send shiploads Of rations to our
boys but we must send other ship
loads to help keep up the wonder
full spirit Of the French nation.
Meatless days in Louisiana mean
happies days in France both for
American fighters and French SOL
diers and civilians.
Fred E. Pitney, a writer in
France. shows why Louisiana
should be willing to make the sac
rifce asked by the State Council
of Defense: "To what extent
the herds have disappeared is
shown by the cutting down of the
meat ration of the soldiers at the
front. At the beginning of the
war they were allowed one
pound of meat a day. Twenty
per cent has now been cut from
that allowance. Only dire neces-
sity will countenance reducing
the food allowance Of soldiers at
tie front.
"France herds suffered
at the very beginning.
A total of approximately 100000
cattle. sheep and hogs from the
French herds were seized by
Germany in the invaded provinces.
Coming Immediately on top of this
loss France found herself com
PEELED to find food for some mil
liors of Belgian and French ref
ugees. England undertook toI
supply France with 100000 tons
Of meat a year until February of
this year. At that time the Eng
land supply stopped. England
was having all she could do to
feed her own people on reduced
,ations.
"Thns since February France
1as had to supply from her own
.esources 432 600 tons of meat, |
.42S .0o0 tons for the civilion
and another 800, 900

RECORD SHOWS GAIN OR

Bookkeeping Answers Questions About
Each Farming Operation.

Bankers and business men are more
readily disposed to make advances
to farmers who keep some records OF
their farming operations; but the far
mers say it's too much trouble, 1t

at the end of the year anyway, SO
what's the use Of keeping books

The average farmer is right about
the bookkeeping business, but his rea~
son for his position is wrong. Book
keeping is such record of his bust
ness as will answer all reasonable
questions about the business and do
It quickly. The average farmer has
few questions about his farming.

One Of our citizens suggests
that since the government wants
us to have a meatless day and a
wheatless day it would not be a
bad idea to also have an eatless
day. If the prices Of eatables
continue to soar, some of us will
have to eat less whether or not
we desire to do so.-Comet.
