HEADQUARTERS
Thirty-Ninth Division Camp
Beauregard.

Alexandria, la, May 2. 1918
Governor Ruf1in G. Pleasant
Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
My dear Governor Pleasant:
AS the Chief Executive of your
State and as patriotic citizen OF
this Nation, know you are inter
ested IN the welfare of the soldiers
or this Camp, thousands of whom
are from Louisiana.
| 1t is impressed upon my mind
every day that many mothers.
wives and sweetbesrts OF our sol
dlers are, unwittingly, bringing
upon themselves and upon their
soldier relatives the greatest mis-
cry and disgrace.
81 want to see you. Please
come home"
These eight words of affection
compose hundreds of messages
that are received by the men in
this camp each day. Despite the
fact that they appear as tender
tokens from home, they are the
cause of more misery and anguish
on the part of The soldiers of Camp
Beauregard than any other cause.
They eDgender bomesickness and
discomfort IN the hearts of the
boys, who go, with or without
leave, to their loved ones. In
these strenuous times of war, the
crime of being absent without
leave is a serious one and its pun.
lshment is well known, especially
to the men of the army.
The sight of prisoner wearing
ball and cham, is a pitifuI one in
private life. That of q soldier
boy being driven to unpleasant
duties of prisoner under guard is
just as shocking, but it is not an
infreqnent sight IN this camp.
The greatest number of the rea
sons for his predicament are lot
ters written at home imploring
him to come to them.
Records of the Camp to,rts de
mODstrate the havoc that is being
played by these appeals of parents,
wives, sisters and sweetheats
They show that ak ont of seven
of the men found guilty of being
absent without leave and sentenc
ed TO strenuous, degraded and 81
we're punishment testified in their
trials that they were romrsed to
leave their commands by pitiful
appeals from their homes Had
such letter not been written, these
boys, instead of being prisoners
guarded by armed men at their
heels, would be happy soldiers of
the Division going diligently
about their work.
! appeal to the Governors of
Louisiana, Arkansas and Misss.
sippi to see that this matter ls
brought to the attention Of their
people.
Thanking you in advance for
your consideration Of this matter
and with sentiments of highest
personal esteem, am,
Very sincerely,

The weekly Iberian. (New Iberia, La.) 1894-1946, 1918-05-18

The State Legislature started
into active work this week, with
everybody standing on tip toe ol
expectancy. Many questions OF
far reaching potentialities will b.
up for fortifying or controlling leg
islatiOn at this session. The rati
fcation of the prohibitions amend
ment to the National constitution
is question of the deepest con
cern to the whole country and one
Of far reaching results. Taxation
viii be brought to a position in
the "spot light" by an effort OF
maintaining the States revenue on
a lower rate and an increased az
sessmeDt total. CamOuflage it az
you will, revenue is the game.
Swell the revenue and smother the
signal is the big idea just now.

DISPOSE OF THE
UNPROFITABLE hen
Culilng Should Be Done Frequently
and Thoroughly.

After hens reach certain age, DE-
pending upon the way they have
bsen handled. they can no longer pro.
duce eggs profitebly. Those which
are forced for heavy egg production
by the liberal use OF stimulants will
reach this stage quicker than the 9th
ers. Whenever this stage Is reached
the mems should be marketed as soon
es possible
A pretty safe rule to follow with
the average hocks which have not
been treated with stimulants is as
follows. Dispose of hens OF the light,
active breeds, such as Leshorns and
Aneonas. as soon as they have passed
through their third laying season:
and dispose OF all the medium weight
breeds such AZ Plymouth Rocks
Rhode Island Reds. Wyandottes and
Orpigntons as soon ~ they have pass
Cd through two laying seasons At
the same time. discard all younger
hens which have baggy abdomens,
which have tendency to stay over
fat, or which lack health or vigcr In
any way.
The culling should be done frs-
quently and thoroughly. It rererly
pays to hold an old or q weak bird
for . better market. The quicker
they are sold the better. The average
hook should be thoroughly culled at
feast once month. Such practice
will not materially reduce the output
Of the flock. but. on the other hand,
will greatly increase the profits by
refusing the required amount Of high
pfioed feed and labor.--A. r. Rolf,
