The war train, bearing many Scared

The war train, bearing many SCARED
relics of the present European con-
fiict, reached st. Joseph last Saturday
evening and was visited by hundreds
of our people of both races. Indeed
the biggest crowd assembled that has
probably ever been seen at the depot
and represented every business and
social circle and every class and creed
as well as every part of the parish, all
bent on seeing the broken and dis
mantled implements of warefare that
have already done their 'sbit'' in the
terrible struggle. Aside from artillery
and shells of different sizes and kind,
displayed on the fiat cars, the walls of
the coaches, from which the seats had
been removed, were decorated with
Photographic views of scenes along
the Western front and in Belgium, cal
culated to give one a clear insight into
the actual condition of affairs now SO
unhappily existing in that war stricken
zone. The gentlemen i'm charge of the
cars made eloquent appeals to the
patriotism of our people and induced
many to buy more bonds and as result
the local subscription list was greatly
increased,

As stated in our columns last week
Miss van Gastel is a young lady OF
much refinement and intelligence and
has had wide experience for one of
her years. She has seen the war in all
its horrors and has personally felt the
iron heel of the Oppressor. The story
she will tell the public will come first
hand and as witnessed by herself and
not as CLEANED from newspaper re-
ports and magazine articles. The OBJ
portunity to hear such an account of
Hun brutality is not an every day op-
portunity and should be availed of by
everybody in the parish who can ar
range to attend.
Miss van Gastel will arrive on the
morning of Monday, April 29th and
will be guest of the citizens of st.
Joseph during her stay. 1t is under
stood that the ladies of town and vicin-
ity contemplate giving her a rece ption,
the hour for which has not yet been
named.
Miss van Gastel will address the
public at the Court House at O'Clock
in the evening. This hour will give
people from the country time to get
back home before night if they so
desire.
In this connection we wish to state
that Miss van Gastel will address the
people of Madison parish at Tallulah
on Wednesday, May LIST, and which
day will be declared a holiday and
basket dinner will be served on the
Court House grounds. Prominent
local speakers will also make addresses
and the entire day will be given over
to the occasion, music being furnished
by popular brass band. 1t is the
wish of the good people of Tallulah
that their friends from neighboring
parishes make an effort TO be present,
and cordial invitation is extended
everybody to come and hear a good
lecture as well as other patriotic
speeches, and incidentally get a good
old time basket dinner.

GREET CONSERVATION, WHEAT IMPERATIVE
Henry PAGES Message Fixes 1 IL Pounds
L Of Wheat Products Weekly Per Person.

face of a food situation muck
more critical than it had beer
thought could possibly come
about the United States fooo
administration has issued the
following new conservation mes
lsage, a copy which was wired tt
to State Food Administrator
Henry A Page today. The state
ment is as follows:
eff We are to furnish the allies
with the necessary proportion OF
wheat to maintain their wal
bread from now until next har-
vest, and this is a military neces-
sity, we must reduce our month
ly consumption to 81 million
bushels a month against our nor
NAL consumption of about AZ mil
lion bushels, or 50 percent of our
normal consumption Reserving
a margin for distribution to the
army aud for special cases, this
leaves for general consumption
approximately one and one half
pounds of wheat products weekly
per person.
"Many of our consumers are
dependent on bakers bread.
Such bread must be durable and
therefore requires9 a larger pro-
portion of wheat products than
cereal breads baked in the house
hold. Our army and navy re
qulres a full allowance. The
we'll to do in our population can
make greater sacrifices
fees in the consumption of wheat
products than can the poor. In
addition, our population in the
agricultural districts, where the
other cereals are abundant, are
more skilled in 1the preparation
of breads from these other cereals
than the crowded city and indus
trial populations.
"With improved transportation
we now have available a surplus
of potatoes. We also have in
the spring months a surplus o:
milk and we have ample CORE
and oats for human consumption
The drain on rye and barley as
substitutes has already greatly
exhausted the supply of these
grains.
ITO effect the needed saving O.
wheat. we r wholly dependent
upon the voluntary assistance ot
the American people and we ask
that the following rules shall be
observed:
First: Householders to use
not to exceed a total of one and
one half pounds per week of
wheat products per person. This
means 'notmore than one and three
fourth pounds of victory bread
containing the required percent
ags Of substitutes and about one
half pound of cooking flour,
macaroni, crackers, pastry, pies,
cakes, wheat breakfast cereals all
combined.
"Second: Public eating places
and clubs to observe two wheat
less days per week. Monday and
Wednesday, as at present, more
breadstuffs, macaroni, crackers,
pastry, pies, cakes, wheat break
fast cereals, containing total
of more than two ounces of wheat
-four to be served unless specif
cally ordered; public eating pla-
ces not to buy more than siz
pounds of wheat products pei
mouth per guest, titus conform
ing with limitations requested O,
householders.
"Third: Retailers not to sci
more than one eighth of a barre
to any town customer at any on
time aud not more than on
quarter of a barrel to any. coun
try customer at any one time ant
in no case to sell wheat product
without the sale of an equa
weight of other cereals.
