Feeding Hogs Out.

Feeding Hogs Out.
Many Very light hogs are being
rushed to market which we believe
be fed out a little longer with profit,
These hogs have glutted the st, Louis
market until it has become necessary
to put on a partial embargo to keep
the light weight hogs back. Applica-
tion must now be made to the agent
at the station from which the ship
ping is done for a permit. The agent
will write to the stock yards for this
permit.
A Test in Feeding.
A test of feeding a balanced corn
ration was made recently under the
supervision Of Mr.. W. B. Jones, prin-
cipal of the Salem consolidated school
with the following result:
Weight to begin n------------150 lbs.
Weight at end-------------310 lbs.

Go To Schools, Boys

Don't forget that the govern
ment at Washington wants the
younger boys to go to school as
much as it wants the older ones to
60 into the army. Superintendent
Harris has done well to sound this
note in Louisiana. He recently
asked parish schools officials to en-.
force the compulsory attendance
laws. The nation never needed a
higher degree of competence from
all its citizens. School is the
place to prepare for greater eff
cheney in later life. NO. Item.

Gas In Homes For Fuel This
Winter.
Houma Courier,

There seems to be little doubt
but that Houma will have natural
gas for cooking and heating pur-
poses this coming winter. The
rapidity with which the gas main
in being laid, having been brought
nearly to Montegut, within the
last two weeks, is sufficient reason
for the confidence of the McCor.
mick people that they will have
gas into Houma and to the South
down refinery by the beginning of
fall.
Gas has superior advantages
over wood, coal or oil, for domestic
purposes. 1t is cheaper, cleaner,
quicker, and it is always ready.
Making fires and cooking will be
a pleasure as compared with such
undertaking where wood or coal is
used. Its wonderful advantages
may be seen at the Lower Terre.

the furnaces; in the Office where it

Reports from all sections of the

they are not as apathetic as they
appear. They are more seriously
interested than ever before in the
fate of their country-and they
know that fate, to a considerable
extent, lies in the hands of their
public officials. Hence they are 60
ing to think carefully and quietly
over the issues. and when they do
cast their ballots IT will be with
the downright conviction that they
are doing the utmost for their coun-

inspire the mothers with the brand of super
patriotism which drives their boys to victory
against the forces of the foe.
A most wonderful day it will be for the Middle
West when the war President comes to meet with
the war mothers, such day as few are given to
see. Thereafter the whole West will hum with
buster war work than ever and the last atom of
Germanism in the Middle West will be drowned
forever in the ocean of cheers which will greet
Woodrow Wilson, commander-n-chef over here
and over there.
Besides which, we believe Woodrow Wilson
himself will be made stronger in mind, body and
soul by meeting face to face with these women
who have given their sons into his keeping. No

a more ambitious war worker.

More Meat.

City folk seldom hear about great network of
boys and girls clubs which spreads over the
whole OF agricultural America. These clubs will
increase the food supply OF this country some
thing like SIoooo,ooo this year. That is largely
pork and poultry, for the boys clubs run largely
to pigs and the girls strong poultry, though
there are boys corn clubs boys calf clubs girls
canning clubs, and both combine in garden clubs
The original idea of this boys and girls club
movement was to interest the farm children In
farming. 1t was to keep them on the farm The
key" was in giving them a chance to earn money
of their own The object aimed at has been
attained Over 100000 girls and boys MEM
bers They will make better farmers and farmers
wives to feed future America. Right now, they are
increasing supply of food, which in itself
is reason enough for US city folk to be concerned
about this rural movement

Ice.

Does ice convey infectious diseases? This is of
high importance in the summertime when prac-
tcaly every household ice to keep foods fresh
and when it comes in contact with many of our
foods before them.
While heat will kill such water-borne germs as
those of typhoid and cholera it has been found
that they resist cold for long time.
Scientists have frozen large numbers of typhoid
germs in water under laboratory conditions and
have found many Of the germs alive after several
weeks.
In addition to such experiments sanitariums
have found that feces from typhoid patients when
thrown the ground during the and ice
periods of winter. remained dangerous until spring.
Ice made from pure water in factories which
kept clean and in sanitary condition and ice
which has been cut from reasonably deep ponds
lakes streams after natural freezing conditions
and stored under sanitary conditions are about
equally safe.
Ice made from polluted water, in dirty in
sanitary factories and ice that is from shallow
polluted ponds from grossly polluted rivers will
contain intestinal organisms and disease germs and
not safe, experts say.
Be on the safe side and do not let ice come in
contact with your food water.

North Carolina Coast Gassed.

On the front page of this newspaper this morn
ing you read story of the gassing Of the Coast
Guard station at Smith Island, N. c., by Ger
submarine.
Large spots of oil, several acres in extent, were
seen floating on the surface of the sea after the
attack The gas evidently generated by this
oil which, according to reports, was emitted from
an enemy under sea boat. There casual
ties, but six men were affected by the poisonous
fumes.
This is an interesting story in more ways
than one. 1t is interesting because it proves that
German ingenuity in its campaign of frightful-
ness has not yet reached its limit.
Although naval officials declare it impossible
suppose under favorable tide and wind con-
ditions the enemy could successfully send this
oil-gas up New York harDor and the unsuspecting
populace would be enveloped in the deadly fumes
new menace has been brought to coast.
One with which have not reckoned before.
Hun heshness knows bounds and in calcu-
lating it should allow for nothing.
The gassing of coast is interesting because
it arouses our fighting blood. Whenever the enemy
commits outrage contrary to the laws of inter-
national warfare and opposing the laws of hu-
nanity he adds to the allied fury and determna-
ton which will inflict a punishment which he
mer.-j.
Again, it is an interesting story because it re-
wives an old question-When will the allies re-
taliate for the German murder Of noncombatants?
Whenever the enemy sinks a hospital ship,
bombs a hospital, bombards Paris commits
another inhuman act there is not American
who does not hope for an immediate reprisal.
Hun frightfulness is still growing the gass-
ing of the North Carolina coast indicates. Will
the allies retaliate?
Italian aviators last week dropped manfestos
over Vienna instead of bombs. They told the
Austrians that they do not murder children and
old men and women but that it would be easy
for them to do so.
1t warning. 1t the allied method
of fighting.
