1t will be seen at a glance that in
the appointment of DR.. Moore, the
president of the Convention has
looked ahead for a capable man to
do the spiritual work that it deems
necessary to he done in the camps.
Dr. Moore, it is learned, has already
visited number of the camps and
delivered stirring sermons and par
ticipated in many activities. At pres
ent he is the pastor of the Seconu
Baptist Church of Columbus. For
eighteen years he was the pastor of
the Zion Baptist Church of Phila-
delphia, Pa. He is also the vice
chairman of the Foreign Mission
Board of the National Baptist Con.
vention and is regarded as one of
the ripe scholars of the denomina.
tion. Only recently at Columbus he
was appointed by the mayor as a
member of the Vice Commission, be.
ing the only member of the race on
the commission. IT is understood
that DR.. Moore in accepting the ap
pointment will not relinquish charge
of The church, but that the church
will give him a leave of absence to
visit these camps.

STAR PLANTATION SOLD.
Sam. Kessler Pays $4,000 for Sugar
Tract in Assumption.

Evidence of the firm market which
the high price of sugar has created
for plantation property is found in q
deal consummated last Saturday
through a New Orleans broker
wherein the holdings Of the Star De.
velopment Company on Bayou La
fourche, in upper Assumption parish
were sold to Sam. Kessler for SSO, O,OOt
cash.
Approximately 1900 acres are com.
prised in the property, about half OF
which is under cultivation, sugar cane
and rice being the main crops. The
remainder is undrained.
Mr.. Kessler formerly owned the
Voiron and Lula plantations, located
in the same section, which he sold IN
January to a syndicate of Bayou La
fourche planters after having oper-
ated them for number of years. he
disposed of them with a view Of re-
firing from the planting business, ana
at the same time sold his interest IN
Kessler Brothers general store. His
purchase Of the Star Development
Gompany's holdings is for the account
of his brother, Leon, who also leaves
the mercantile business to devote MS
entire time to the raising OF sugar
cane and other products, as well as as
the manufacture of sugar. He VIII
acquire the output Of several other
plantations in the vicinity, and pro-
poses to engage in the sugar business
on an extensive scale, having a
thorough knowledge Of every branch
of it.
The improvements comprise su-
garhouse, a small residence and MINOR
buildings. The Star Development
Co., the entire holdings of which are
represented in the sale, was owned by
Samuel Zemurray and Julius Adler,
of New Orleans.

RAISE SWEET POTATOES.
Cost Less to Plant Than Irish Pota
toes and Are as Nutritious.

Seed to plant an acre of Irish po-
tatoes cost $40 this spring. Seed
sweet potatoes will not cost more than
| S4 per acre where vine cuttings taken
from early-set plants are used. The
| yield of sweet potatoes per acre is
usually greater than that of Irish po-
tatoes and as food they are as
nutritious. : Specialists in the U. S.
Department of Agriculture are urg-
ing an increased acreage of this crop
wherever it can be easily grown.
Sweet potatoes, it is pointed out,
are the south's chief instrument for
quick and effective increase ahsthe
food supply. Seed is plentifurs last
years crop was the second largest
ever produced. By means of vine
cuttings it is possible to plant almost
unlimited areas of this crop and at
the same time conserve the present
supply. That is, farmer who wishes
to plant 10 acres will bed seed enough
say to 10 bushels-to get slips for
one acre Vine cuttings from this
acre would plant many more acres,
paintings being possible until the first
of August in the lower south. This
system, now widely used in the south,
enables the utilization Of land from
which early potatoes, cabbage, and
other truck crops have been taken.
Sweet potatoes are not expensive to
grow. The main limiting factor to
the production of vast quantities by
this plan is labor. Yields from fields
set with vine cuttings are. as large as
from plants grown from slips. This
method has the further advantage OF
preventing the transfer OF diseases
which are carried on the tubers.
The south doesn't need to learn
how to grow sweet potatoes, the spe-
cialists point out. Farmers know how
to produce large yields Of this crop.
But the farmer must be impressed
with the necessity Of increasing his
acreage of this crop, and then, when
harvest comes, to prevent the enorn-
GUS looss from improper handling and
storing. The best way to keep sweet
POTATOES is to store them III we'll
ventilated storage houses, not dug
outs" Storage houses should be
made ready as soon as possible. In
Farmers Bulletin 548, Storing and
Marketing Sweet Potatoes instruc-
ton for building such houses and for
converting old and unoccupied build
ings are given.

NAVY NEEDS SKILLED MEN.
Fine Openings for Machinists, EIec
tricians, Pharmacists, Bakers, Etc.

The navy needs men who are skill
ed In trades that are peculiar to the
operation of war vessels, and Lieut.. S
NJ. LaBounty, in charge of the New
Orleans recruiting office, announces
that extra efforts will be made te
enlist such men.
/ At the present time the navy is in
need of men who are machinists OF
who are anxious to advance to the
machinist ratings There are excep-
tional opportunities open to men who
| enlist in these branches. A man pos
sesslng training as a machinist who
passes the examination will be enlist
ed as machinist mate second class
at rate of pay of s44 a month and
can advance to higher rating paying
as much as S2400 year. A man en-
listing as fireman third class is in line
for promotion to ratings in the ma
/ chinist branch.
The navy needs large number of
men skilled in the other mechanical
branches of the service, such as cleo
triclans, carpenters, ship filters, cop
persmiths and painters. There are
good chances for men with clerical
experience who can enlist as yeomen,
and for bakers, pharmacists and
cooks.
The pay in the navy, according to
Lieut.. LaBounty, compares favora-
bly, with that in civil life because a
man gets his board and lodging free
and on first enlistment $50 outfit of
| clothing. Some men in the service
save regularly half of their pay, and
statistics have been compiled by the
Navy Department showing that if d
man saves fifty per cent of his pay
| during thirty years service as sea-
man, at the time of retirement he will
have saved $4,000, which of course,
includes the interest the money has
earned. When a man retires from
| the service after certain number OF
years he is given a pension.
A man without trade enlis~Lsg in
the navy in the seaman branch can
rise to higher ratings or can learn one
Of the trades taught aboard Dattle
ships.
"The navy is the first line of de-
tense and in the present crisis this
country must look to the navy to
make operations for defense effect
ive," said Lieut.. LaBounty. "How
ever, we do not appeal to man to en-
list for patriotic motives alone, but
| we point out to him what the navy
offers in the way of pay and advance
ment, and if a man is ambitious he
never lets the opportunity go by.
The navy offers SO many opportuni-
ties that they cannot be detailed in
| limited space, but a letter addressed
to the recruiting office at 730 Com
mon street, New Orleans, will bring
Information on any point. =

Il wish to tell you before closing
that 1t was my good fortune yester-
day to meet Mrs. Belmont Tiffany,
vice chairman of the New York
chapter, who is at present making a
tour of the south. A reception was
| rendered her at the Country Cub.
She is very charming woman, and in
an informal talk she gave those pres
| ent resume of the work done in her
chapter. She informed >us that six
base hospitals had been called to go
to France, and will leave within two
weeks from the following cities: New
York, Philadelphia, Cleveland, st.
Louis, Boston and Chicago, a per-
sonnel of four hundred nurses, aides
and dentists, and two hundred doc
tors. She gave us to understand that
the government will soon be calling
for more bases to go, and New Or
leans will probably follow shortly.
.'For the benefit of those who may
not exactly know what a base hospi-
tai means, / will try and explai y 1t
is not a hospital within brick walls,
as many may think, but large organ
ization to supply immediate relief to
the wounded, with five hundred COM
plete equipments under tent and
complete staff of doctors, nurses,
aides, attendants, ETC., ready to be
moved at a moments notice.
Il would further say, in conclusion,
that St. Mary parish has donated
over $4,000 already. You must do
your share and take care of your own
boys who are now recruiting. Should
the war not come to us actively, or
should it terminate before our as
|sistance is needed, so much the better;
but should it be needed, then let us
be prepared for all emergencies. That
is our duty, our sacred dutyn

RECORD LUMBER ORDER.
Government Contracts For Over Two
Billion Feet Of Materials.

To meet its war requirements for
wooden ships, army barracks and
other purposes, the government has
contracted for the purchase of over
two billion feet Of southern pine.
While exact figures are not yet avail
able, it is understood that the ag-
gregate price which the United States
will pay to mills supplying this lum-
ber will be between $35, 100000 and
$40,000,000. The order is the largest
in the history of the lumber industry.
The tremendous volume Of lumber
which this represents may be under
stood wfen.it is stated that the total
output Of all the southern pine mills
of Louisiana, the largest yellow pine
producing state in the union, vtES S915
was but 2,900,000,O00 feet.
The lumber which the government
has bought is sufficient to build homes
for all the people Of a city of half q
million inhabitants.
If loaded in a solid train Of cars, it
would make up a train extending
from New Orleans almost to New
York
The lumber will be delivered as
needed, deliveries extending over q
period of several months. Special
equipment will be provided at many
mills so that timbers may be turned
out to exactly meet the requirements
of the standard type Of wooden yes
sci designed by experts of the federal
shipping board.
Mills which will participate in sup
plying the country's lumber require
nents are located in most of the states
Of the south, and include nearly al
members of the Southern Pine Asso'
citation, the combined monthly output
of whose plants averages about 450,.
100000 feet.

SUPPRESSION OF NEWS.
Editor Who Engages IN Practice
Breaks Faith with Public.

Few people would have the hardi,
hood to ask a judge to have a grand
jury Indictment piegon-holed, or Sc.
cretly dismissed, as a personal favor
with the object of saving the accused
person from public humiliation. Yet
there are still people who ask editors
to suppress neWs-or to color it to the
advantage of those figuring in it.
# the people generally could un-
derstand that the newspapers are
quite as important factors in our lives
as the courts-that the responsibility
of an editor to the public is fully as
sacred as that of the judge-there
would be little effort made to have
legitimate news suppressed.
To ask a judge to exercise bias is
to commit contempt of court" To
ask an editor to suppress the truth
about actual events is to commit con-
tempt Of public opinion.
The newspaper which would sup
press real news in the interest of the
individual would betray it's trust, vio-
late the obligation to society which it
solemnly assumedon the day of its
birth, and would thereby forfeit its
place as the guardian of public in
terests, and would become menace,
rather than factor of useful service
to it's community.
The surest safeguard against ty-
ranny is full publicity of proceedings
whenever these have public interest.
The best safeguard against injustice
to the individual is the publication of
the truth about any event in which
he figures. When, because of per-
sonal considerations, an editor fails
to do this, he breaks faith with his
public.
The editor is the historian of his
day. He must record history as it is
made, in both large and small things.
1t always happens that some of this
historv will be huniliating, shameful
-thdRaleain the printing of the news of
the day some people will be pilloried.
It is to be regretted that the events
happened-but the historian must put
them into the record.-Editor and
Publisher.
