Building Potato KiIns in Louisiana.

Seventy-five potato dry kilns will
be completed in Louisiana by the end
of the year, according to T. II. Hollo-
way, who has charge Of the con-
struction Of the kilns under the SUI
pervision Of the State Council Of De-
Tense. Mr.. Holloway says the build-
ing Of these kilns will result in a great
saving both to the business firms
erecting them and to the farmer, be-
cause the produce merchant, assured
of being able to hold the potatoes
without loss beyond the season Of
their production, when the market is
flooded, can afford to offer better
prices for them because he is assured
of a better market later. The mer-
chant can get from Is to SO cents
more for kiln dried potatoes, and the
farmer profits accordingly, Mr.. Hollo-
way affirms. The, kilns take from 6
to 10 per cent of the moisture from
the potato to close it's pores.
Plans for the construction OF kilns
may be obtained free of charge by
writing the United States Department
of Agriculture, Washington, for
farmers bulletin No. 548, entitled,
Storing and Marketing Sweet Po-
tatoes."

Deep Salt Bed.

In Kansas deep we'll struck rock
salt at 800 feet below the surface and
penetrated 600 feet of rock salt beds
from S to so feet thick, according to
the United States Geological Survey.
A large area in that state is underlaln
by salt, which is mined by many shafts
and obtained by pumping brine.
Drilling for oil in Texas and Louisl-
ana has revealed the presence Of tre-
mendously thick deposits of rock salt
at a depth of few hundred feet.
Thicknesses of 1000 feet are common,
and one drill hole passed through
more than 5000 feet of rock salt
Most of the salt made in Utah is pro-
duced by evaporating the water OF
Great Salt Lake, and in California
BY evaporating sea water. These
sources are inexhaustible, and the
limit Of production by solar evapora-
tion will therefore never be reached

A SAFE TEST.

For those who are in need OF q
remedy for kidney troubles and back
ache, it is a good plan to try Doan's
Kidney Pills. They are strongly
recommended by Plaquemine people.

La, says II had pains through the
small Of my back, and at times my
back seemed broken. ! could hardly

passed too frequently and then again
they were scanty and contained sedl-

"The Millionaire Vagrant."

Charles Ray is the star of the Wig
orous and entertaining Triangle pho
toplay, "The Millionaire Vagrant," "
which will be the Sunday feature at
traction at the Gem. Steven duPeys-
ter, a young millionaire, ,wagers he can
earn a dollar a day and live on it.
He goes into the slums to prove his
contention. There he meets strange
assortment of human beings, among
them woman known as "the angel OF
the slums." The police attempt to
arrest this girl on trumped up
charge, but Ray puts up a fight that
takes him dashing over roof tops,
clambering down water spouts, bal
ancing on narrow window ledges and
finally diving through a skylight to
land on top of the gang who is pursu-
ing him. Through such situations as
these the inherent manliness OF the
young idler comes to the surface, and
he develops into regular fellow with
punch, determination and ideas.
The play abounds in quick-actlon
episodes that carry along the plot to
an unexpected and startling climax.
The settings are realistic to the last
detail

"What Money Can't Buy"

Theodore Roberts, Louise Huff,
Jack Pickford and Hobart BosWorth
appear together in "What Money
Can't Buy" which the Grand an
nounces as its offering for Wednes-
day. Stellar honors go to Mr.. Rob-
erts, who acts the part of an Amerl-
can financier bidding for the conces-
sion to construct a railroad through
q mythical little principality in south
ern Europe. He can interpret emo
tion by rolling a cigar in his mouth as
no other can. The scene where he
goes to his office to raise eighty mil
lion dollars by morning and stays on
the Job all night is notably good. Jack
pickford is his son, Dick Hale. Louise
Huff is the Princess Irenia. Hobart
hosworth is European villain. Jas.
Neill looks well as the cardinal. Ray
mond Hatton does fine bit Of char
aeter acting as the king. The spirit
ual uplift which comes from the con-
temptation of the beautiful is ample
compensation for the time spent In
viewing this picture. 1t is beautiful
production.

"Forbidden Paths"

The Monday offering at the Grand
will be "Forbidden Paths" starring
sessue Hayakawa and Vivian Martin.
The former appears as native of his
own land, who falls in love with a
nretty American girl and sacrifices
his life to secure her happiness. The
heroine is in love with a young Amer
lean who goes down to Mexico and is
trapped into marrying the most no.
torious woman in the capital. When
he learns the truth about her ne de-
serts her and returns to the States:
The wife follows him, however, and
learns that he is now in love with the
heroine. She will not let him divorce
her. but the devoted Japanese finds a
way to remove her quietly and et-
feetively. He invites her to go out
in launch with him, takes her well
out to sea, removes the plug from the
bottom of the boat, and waits calmly
for them both to drown. In this SIT
uation Hayakawa's racial character
istics, the stoicism Of the ORIENTAL
makes the scene ring true.

FIRE PREVENTION DAY.
Special Significance Attached to OBJ
servance This Year.

October 9 will be observed through
out the nation as fire prevention day.
This date has been selected because it
comes at very desirable season of
the year for fire prevention work,
and also because it is the anniversary
Of the disastrous Chicago fire, the first
great metropolitan confagration in
the history of this country.
In an effort to have the day OBJ
served generally throughout Louisi-
ana, Fire Marshal Campbell is send
ing out literature enlisting the CO.
operation of newspapers, civic and
commercial organizations, churches,
schools, labor unions, manufacturers,
householders and citizens
generally.
ssThis year Ire prevention day. Z
says the fire marshal, comes with
special significance, as for the first
time in history the United States faces
a food shortage Every sack of -four,
every bushel of wheat, every barrel
of corn, every dozen of eggs and every
pound of butter that goes up IN smoke
is that much taken, not from the sur
plus that can be spared, but from q
supply, every ounce OF which
will be needed to prevent hunger,
perhaps even to prevent starvation.
ssLooking squarely in the face OF
the situation, the United States can
no longer afford to be the most de-
structive country in the world in re-
gard to fires. Of that necessity, our
country will have to cut down its fire
losses to the line Of fires that really
cannot be prevented. This would
mean sixty per cent reduction of the
fire waste in the United States, and
sixty per cent of the food, fabric and
lumber destroyed in the United States
annually by fire would go long way
toward making good the shortage
that exists in these commodities"

MORE CATTLE FOR SOUTH.
Opportunity Offered for Developing
Highly Profitable Industry.

Transfer of immense herds of cat
tie from some of the less favored
parts of the western ranges to the
better grazing lands of the south will
be one of the first things undertaken
by the Southern Cut-Over Land AS
sociation when it begins active opera
Gions this month.
The association is advised by the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture and Food Administration that
there is an extraordinary opportunity
at present for the south to take ad-
vantage of situation brought about
by the war and drouth conditions in
parts of the west.
Europe, with diminished animals,
and therefore diminished annual pro-
duction Of animal food, will require
larger imports Of meats during the
years of recuperation, and will prob
ably require the actual import of
breeding animals" says the Depart
ment of Agriculture. Therefore, in
a broad way, the outlook to the Amer
lean producer from now on and after
the war will be, first, a large demand
for animal products, and second, a
continuing necessity for meat and
dairy animals to convert forage and
grains not needed for human con-
sumption into meats and dairy pro-
ducts.
"The herds and flocks of the coun-
try can only be increased over a Pc
riod of years, and the foundation for
such an increase should be laid at
once. Such increase is national in
terest, and it must be made to the
interest of the American producer.
"Owing to the larger measure of
failure of roughage available in
western ranges this year, there must
be either a reduction in western ami
mails or their redistribution into the
central and southern states, where
there is larger amount of roughage
and nitrates available than ever be-
fore"
Work of the recently organized
Southern Cut-Over Land Association
will be formally launched at gen
eral conference to be held in New Or
leans, Thursday, Sept. 27. The asso-
citation, whose membership will en-
brace many of the principal cut-over
land owners of the south, plans to
utilize by means of stock raising,
agriculture and reforestation millions
of acres now idle.

ALIENS AND WAR.
Should Friendly Foreigners Be SUBJ
ject to Military Service?
Editorial in New Orleans Item


With no desire to be otherwise than
just, some of the labor leaders of the
east and the middle west are appeal
ing for measures that will bring
friendly alien residents Of Che united
States into the compulsory military
service. The question is complicated
by treaties that cannot be abrogated
without consent OF the other nations
involved. The logic of the situation
is SO clearly with those urging alien
service, that the administration ID ex-
pected to take steps to accomplish it.
In the south the alien population is
mot usually large, and this problem
does not seem pressing save as a mat
ter of justice. But in the eastern and
middle western states it is a real Is
|sue. In one registration district in
New England a call was sent out for
1000 registered men, out of which to
|select $50: Six hundred had to be
exempted on the ground that they
were not citizens of the United States.
There are two views to take of the
alien question. One is that the
aliens ought to fight and the other
that they ought not. The first is
based on the idea that no man avail
able for military service should en-
joy the blessings of free government
without fighting to maintain them
when the emergency arises. The sec
ond is founded on the proposition that
this is war Of Americans and only
Americans should wage it.
| It seems to us that reason supports
the first idea. 1t is highly creditable
| to young Americans that they are
willing to assume the dangers and
burdens of fighting for their own lib
erty and protecting every other class
of resident, but there is no fairness in
that sort Of thing. Why should some
men sacrifice everything home,
friends, positions, perhaps life-whils
others favored by circumstances stay
home and not only reap the benefits
of the patriots unselfshness, but im-
prove their condition with war time
wages.
Leading protestants against this
lsituation properly hold that an alien
who has lived in America long enough
to have applied for American citizen
ship and has not done so, has little
fright to avail himself of the protec'
ton America affords. What could BIZ
more just than to impose upon hin
the same obligations which American
citizens must assume?
:, Countries embroiled in the struggls
: whose citizens are not fighting fol
them and have taken refuge elsewhere
will hardly protest these men belnl
properly equipped and sent to tn
front

~ Strange Transgressor."

Louise Glaum, the famous "pea-
cock siren" will be seen at the Gem
today in "A Strange Transgressor, :
wherein she enacts the sympathetic
role of a woman who responds to the
power of mother love, that Wondrous
passion which dominates all female
creatures, no matter of what species.
She is woman Of international no.
toriety. She has dared the world, Sc
cure in her beauty and her fascina-
ton for men. She has Knocked the
convention of matrimony as establish
ed by church and state. She has been
frank in her mode of life, even
Haunted it before the public. Yet
when baby hands touch her heart she
is reclaimed. Maternal love proves
the divine healer of sin.

WHY SHOULD THE STACKER?
BY Sergeant Chas. Chaisson, Company A,
34th Infantry. Fort Bliss, Texas.

BY Sergeant Chas. Chaisson, Company A,
saith Infantry, Fort Bliss, Texas.
We give you our service, you shut off
our beer,
But the Stacker can drink till it
runs from his ear.
We quit good job to keep you from
harm,
The Stacker goes by with girl on
his arm
And laughs at the soldier-poor, un-
lucky cuss.
She goes with the Stacker, why
ostracise us?
The Stacker rides round in a Ford of
his own,
And charges a quarter to haul us
to town;
We're doing our duty, his liver is
white,
Yet we leave the streets at eleven
each night, -...
While he sticks around as long as he
cares,
And laughs at the soldier-when-
ever he dares.
Discipline, we know, is thing that
must be,
But, honest to goodness, we fail to
see
When the soldier drinks nothing but
water and pop
Why the drinks of the Stacker can't
also be stopped.
If the Stacker can dance, it seems
rather hard
That at all decent dances the uni
forms barred.
We have shouldered our rifles and
taken our place
And We'll go to our death with a
smile on our face,
But this is our honest appeal to you:
Until we cross over, please give us
our due.

40, during the period of the great
gold rush. Mary Pickford, as Jennie
Lawrence, little New England miss,
journeys to the west in search Of her
only relative, an uncle. Before she
is aware of it she falls in love, and as
a result becomes enmeshed in serious
complications. Various clever twists
to the story afford surprises that add
greatly to the general merit of the
production. Some of the most wonl
derful natural settings ever caught by
the camera provide Il striking back
ground for the dramatic situations
with which the play abounds. Sup
porting the star is an exceptional cast,
including Elliott Dexter, Tully Mar

What TO Give the Soldier.

MAKE your present to the solder
as compact and durable as possible"
Is the admonition of officials whose
exneriences in many campaigns have
taught them the needs of the fighting
man. The important things are those
that the soldier actually carries into
the trenches: metal cases for tooth
hrnsh and soap, razors, water-tlghtt
match boxes, steel-backed mlrrors'a 'ano
only articles that stand exposure to
the weather are of value. Though
Of rood quality, they should not be
expensive, as such articles are ire
ouently lost. Clothing boxes, kept IN
reserve billets back of the firing line,
will hold articles not actually in use.
