LIGHT HORSESHOE IS IDEAL
Keeps Foot Level and Takes Greater Pressure From Toe-OWner Thus
 Lessens Grain Bill.

The ideal horseshoe Is one which Is light, consistent with a months wear. This will keep the foot level instead as is the case with a heavy shoe and heels-of putting the greater pressure on the toe. Very careful examination and calculation has proved that if four-pound shoe is used-as is some times the case on heavy horses-a horse, in an ordinary days work lifts 52 tons on each foot, or POS tons in all more than is necessary. This, of course, involves needless expenditure of mus cular energy, and more feed is needed to keep the animal in proper condition. With lighter shoe the owner would not only relieve the horse, but lessen his grain bill.

Miss Lena Ashwell, the distinguished London actress, who has been giving number of dramas and Shakespearean plays to soldiers at the front, waxes eloquent upon her strange and won derful auditory. No Tommy Is stodgy. as West end audience is," she re- marks. Every performance was joy"
 The Tommies show their devotion in all sorts of ways.

Another group of men, working with the forage supplies in Rouen, on the railway side, where there is scarcely any blooms of any sort, managed to get her little tight bunch of flowers, arranged with bit of paper like an old-fashioned bouquet. Still another devoted group gave her a little box of silver beautifully chased.
 But what she treasures most Is lucky bean. The young soldier who gave it to her stood grasping her hands in the dark, saying blunderingly that he had been eleven months in the trenches and that she could not imag- inc what it meant to him to see a lady, much less hear her speak that this bean had been all over the world with him and had brought him good luck he hadn't been wounded yet-and now he wanted her to have it. The boy was simply giving her everything. No won der she set his bean in the best of gold and wears 1t always.

HEALTHY CHICKS GROW FAST
Keep coops and Houses Clean and Sanitary to Prevent Disease
 Get Rid of Vermin.

Every effort must be made to keep the coops and houses of little chicks clean and sanitary. Disease most ire quently starts in unclean, poorly venti- lated houses. Clean the house at least once week. Sand or litter of some kind scattered over the floor of the house will assist in keeping it clean. When chicks are confined to limited range, it is well to spade up the ground at frequent intervals, so as to provide fresh ground for them to scratch in. If lice are found, every effort must be made to get rid of them. by applying a small portion of mixture of equal parts of vaseline and lard to the top of the head and around the vent. Sick ly chicks can't grow fast enough to make money; healthy chicks can and will. Keep 'em well

GIVE TURKEYS BEST OF CARE
Provide Place Where Fowls Can Roost by Themselves and Don't Over-
 feed-keep Off Lice.

Don't overfeed the turkeys, and al- ways have place where they can roost by themselves. If kept with chickens, they soon become lousy. It does not take many lice to kill young turkey. The best way to keep poults from getting lousy is to keep the old ones free from lice and then hatch the eggs under the turkey hens. When matched under chicken hens they are almost sure to have the large body lice. They acquire these in spite o1 all efforts to prevent.

nerve may be kept at it twice as long as horses are fit for service. Mules can be raised more cheaply than any other stock, and, unlike horses, will never founder themselves If by chance they should have access to more feed than Is good for them. They can be put into the market much sooner than horses, and If properly handled. when two years old, will do as much work and stand 1t better, than four-year-ol6 colts. Mules are less liable to con- tract diseases than horses, and their value is not decreased by blemishes as Is that of horses Mules seldom run away, but when they do they seem to run more from sport than fright and generally wind up safely. They instinctively avoid holes, obstacles or dangerous places. They can stand heat, abuse or hardship better than horses and can always be relied upon. They are sensitive as well as sensible animals, responding quickly to kind treatment by docility and gentleness.
 The great profit in mule raising lies largely in their growth. Mules grow so quickly that they are marketable when three years old, while horse colts cannot advantageously be sold under five years. In this way the cost of feeding and the trouble and risk of raising are decreased.
 Buyers will always handle good mules, as the demand for them is steady. Where large numbers of mules are raised there are always plenty of mule buyers in that section of the country. Buyers do not go where there are no mules to sell. In time of war mules are always in great demand and bring good prices owing to their pow CTS of endurance.
 Comparing cattle with mules, one steer will eat as much as two mules. As compared with swine, If the same amount of feed that is fed to bunch

ONIONS PLANTED IN AUTUMN
MuItiplier Can Be Grown From Sets and Will Produce Excellent Early
 Vegetables.

There are several kinds of onions that may remain in the soil over win ter. The multiplier, or potato onion, for example, can be planted from sets in the autumn and will produce excel- lent green early onions. A large onion of this type contains number of dis tinct hearts, and if planted will pro- duce a number of small onions. On the other hand, small onion contains but one heart and will produce large onion. A few of the large ones may be planted to produce sets for the fol- lowing years planting.

Those who are accustomed to hand ling mules and who know of their re- markable faculty for adapting them selves to almost any condition, realize their yalue and do not hesitate to pay well for good animals
 The advantages they possess over horses in many ways compensate for the somewhat objectionable length of ear and exaggerated reputation for kicking. They are ready to work when two years old and on account of their toughness and steadiness of

Nada Holmes was not exactly a pop ular girl. It troubled her little be- cause she was young and fond of com panionship as the normal human being of twenty is liable to be- It also trou- bled her aunt, Mrs. Anna Walker, who had invited Nada to spend the sum- mer with her at her country home on the Hudson.
 The well-intentioned ordinary wom- m of middle age is not always equipped with mental probe delicate and finely tempered enough to touch the soul structure of the human being living day after day by their side under the same roof, so it was that Aunt Anna understood her niece about as clearly as an infant would comprehend San skrit.
 Mrs. Dan Herrick came in one day and unburdened her mind to Aunt Anna concerning her niece. Mrs. Her rick's son, Austin, was one of the most eligible young men in the place.
 "I think everything of Miss Holmes," enthused Mrs. Herrick. "She's per lCSl dedI, anu tu1 uuAicl Sldiio Nliy she isn't more of a favorite with the young people. Confidentially I rather hoped that Austin might take fancy to her, and once when I spoke of her to him what do you think he said?"
 T don't know, I'm sure," answered Mrs. Walker, trying not to show that she was consumed with curosity.
 Well, you see mother" he said, 'fel- lows don't seem to care for 'goody, goody girl I don't mean that Nada Holmes is insipid, or uninteresting, but they somehow feel she Is superior Most of us like girl that's a bit

That may be real cute be- forehand, but 1t won't go so we'll after you're married. I declare things have changed considerably since I was girl"
 "'Oh, no, they haven't he laughed Men felt just the same, but they didn't dare say 1t to their mothersr ?" "Well, well '" exclaimed Mrs. Walker in equal surprise. "What is the world coming to? Why, Nada always struck me as being full of fun and spirits. She says the quaintest things, sometimes she keeps me laughing by the hour" "Yes, that was another thing Austin spoke of. He mentioned her saying things that got the fellows all balled up. They couldn't tell whether she was horribly sarcastic, and meant to give them a slam, or said it in an inno- cent unintentional way.'
 T should think they could get devil-
  ishness out of that without looking any farther" replied Mrs. Walker with some acidity.
 "He says it Isn't the kind they like. She makes them bit afraid of her." 'sOh, that's it." unused the aunt. Well, don't always quite understand her myself, but I know how well she means, and don't mind. Whatever they may think. don't believe 1t trou- bles Nada much. She's perfectly happy with her books and writing"
 'Writing?" broke In Mrs. Herrick 1uestioningly.

Dear lady, is it that you dislike to

Y subjected you or yours to some
real or fancied injury in the past
that you now refuse to join hands
with her in work that is crying for
you? Does Miss z fail to measure

to suffer her presence or contact
with her in work that would occu-
py you but few hours a week? Do
you feel that you are giving all that
you and Of your time and substance
in some other line of work in the
cause Of War and you find no time
for the local Chapter of the Red

your answer. Let the warmth. the
strength, the zeal, the power, the
love, the charity, the sisterhood, tie

flame guide you and keep you in the
path it illumines. Hold fast to the
spirit of the Red Cross and all these
other matters will adjust themselves
and you'll find the time, the will and
gladness to do all that lies within
your power to do? And what could
not the women of Morgan City ac-

Your sons, brothers, relatives,

Next Tuesday a meeting of the
citizens Of Morgan City will be held
at the CITY Hall to discuss the work
