CANNING CLUB NEWS
ABOUT THE PARISH

An active organization of the
ladies of Clouticrville and Derry

weeks ago, naming themselves the
Housewives League. They are

war work, primarily, they are
working for food production and
conservation. They are also plan
ming to be actively engaged in Red
Cross work and Thrift Stamps, etc.
They are holding their second
meeting this week Miss Dorman
was with them when they organic
ed and is also attending this meet
ing. All the Clubs of the Parish
are doing fine work, manv of them
making high grades in their club
study work. Judging from the
beginning. Natchitoches Parish
will grow a wonderful crop of
tomatoes This year and isn't gong
to fall behind on gardens. Large
number of boys and girls are plant
ing war gardens.
Ashland School Canning Club
boasts the finest tomatoe plants in
the parish. Campti has a very
pretty showing, with several 9th.

THE GREAT OFFENSIVE.

The long heralded Spring drive,
which was to see the Huns in Paris
by April 1st. opened according to
schedule time, Thursday and the
fury of the German offensive star
tied our people as has nothing else
since the terrible war began, for
the reports of the colossal losses
we're almost beyond human compre
hension.
News of the penetration of the
British lines, the retiring of En-
glish troops, Berlin's claims of
large captures of men and guns
finslly the bombarding of Paris at
a heretofore unheard of range of
miles, came in quick succession.
Then the news that the allied lines
yielded but did not break, that the
stragetic reserves were on the al
ert and London's view, serious,
but not alrmlng'', did much to
strengthen the confidence that can
not be shaken.
That the conflict will continue
with great fury is expected and it
seems prophetic, that it should &C.
cur just at the Easter-tide, but as
firm as is the Christian belief that
Christ rose from the dead after the
suferings of the week, and the jew
ish belief that the children of Is
rael passed safely out of bondage.
fed by the mama from Heaven,
so firm is the Allies belief that
peace will come from this carnag e
that will make the world safe for
Democracy for Eternity.

OUR MAIL SERVICE

Never since. such a thing as mail
service was conceived, has Natchi
toches enjoyed real service as In
Gle Sam intended t5,s branch of
his government to mean, as is the
case at present.
Important letters reach here in
time to have the business attended
to and answered the same dsy
while the Shreveport Times gets to
its subscribers between 9 $3.50 a.
m. the N. o. afternoon papers the
same hour and TIP. at 6 p m
same day of publication. And
our people are indebted to Mr.. U.
P. Breazeale for this change which
gives them such tins service.
After investigating the matter,
working at it from every imagin-
able standpoint Mr. Breazeale
found the solution ofthe problem
and went about proving it to the
satisfaction Of the government
that readily recognized that the
+. r. & N. that just travels thru
Louisiana could deliver mail more
dependably than interstate trains
that have to depend upon many
connections. Knowing how to go a
bout it, our mail benefactor got
hold of the right wire and with
the help of our congressman sue
ceeded in having certain CONTRACTS
changed and new ones made and
as a result we get four mails over
the L. r. & n, three over the 4.
& p. and one over the L. N. & W
daily. And so Natchitochians now
enjoys the best mail service, they
ever had thanks to Representative
Breazeale.

There is not an hour of the day
from early Monday morning nn.
til late Saturday evening that some
unit or individual workers are not
busy at Red Cross headquarters.
For awhile the doors were closed
at 6 p m but special permission
they are now allowed to remain
open as late is the Cantains need
to keep them. dusk generally finds
the rooms still more or less filled
with busy members. And the
beauty of it all is the way the diff
ferent religious, social, literary or
other organizations give help
wherever spare moment can be
found and this is as it should be,
as while there is more or less
friendly rivalry as to which unit
can accomplish the most as a unit
it is all for one great and noble
cause and the joining OF hands all
around is what makes the Natchi-
toches Red Cross Chapter such a
successful organization full of
great accomplishments.

FROM THE LITTLE TOWNS

Have you noticed the names of the postoffice addresses of the heroes who went down with the Tuscania and of those who rescued? Then you must be immensely impressed with the fact that most of those boys from the little towns, and not from the big cities of this country.
 The pert paragraphers could not pick out more obscure lot of names than is shown in connection with the Tuscania boys They from the towns and villages and smaller cities the nation over and Baraboo figures big New York, and Chetek as prominent Chicago. Many village, in fact, got its name in the papers for the first time the resi- dence of hero was given to the types.
 These little and villages sending their heroes to the front the heroes going to the front from the metropolitan cities. These boys from the little places dying gamely and as nobly the fellows from the big places mighty nation is sending it's to the battlefront, and of towns and villages and cities mean only that heroes to be found in every nook and of the Nation.
