This district, consisting OF the
parishes of St. Tammany, Tangl'
pahoa, St. Helena and Washing
ton. bears the distinction of being
the only one in the state of Lou
isiana, and the first district IN the
south, to clear the top in the
first weeks drive for United War
Work funds. The work IN this
parish, under the leadership OF
W. C. Flanders, assisted by Capt.
Peguegnot, Mr.. Blayney, Miss
Altick and Mrs. Buck, with a
strongly organized force under
them, was pushed vigorously and
untiringly from the day OF its Or
ganization and at the close of the
week Bogalusa had more than
doubled her quota, Franklinton
cashed in 80 per cent over and
above her allotment and the other
wards of this parish and the other
three parishes as a whole, report
ed their respective quotas so
nearly attained that the full al
lotment Was vouched for by the
representatives at Saturdays
meeting at Bogalusa.
District Chairman W. H. Sulll-
van was SO gratifed over the re-
suits of the drive that he called
his workers together for a general
celebration on Saturday, when he
entertained the full two hundred
at an elaborate banquet at Pine
Tree Inn from 3 to 6 In the alter

WHEAT OUTLOOK IS
GOOD this YEAR
Charles G JHden Says Crop to
be Fifty Percent Larger
than i'm 1917.

The outlook for record wheat crop
was never better than now, accord
ing to Charles G. Juden, the we'll
known farmer and land owner. Mr..
Juden. who has travelled extensively
over this section Of the state, says
the severe weather of the past winter
did not iniure the weat in the least.
The fact that it was covered by a
heavy blanket of snow While the
weathe~ was SO cold saved the grain.
According to Mr.. Juden, there is at
least fifty percent more wheat plant
ed in this section of the state this
year than was planted last. "But if
the Government doesn't raise the
price OF wheat" said Mr.. Juden, 81
am afraid there will not be nearly so
much planted next year. Today corr
is worth about Us much as wheat, and
is as much as farmer can produce
twice as much corn to the acre as he
can wheat, l don't believe there will
be much wheat planted next year. If
the government fixes a new price for
wheat, of course, that will stimulate
planting"

RIVER SHIPPING FOR
new SEASON BEGUN
Government Boat and Bald Eagle
First River Vessels to
Land Here.

The river shipping season has been
opened and according to the announce
ment Of steamboat owners the traffic
on the Mississippi will be in full swing
in a few days. A government boat
passed up the river Monday to in
stall the river lights needed for the
direction of the boat pilots.
The Bald Eagle made her first trip
of the season Saturday night, arrivinfi
here at 9 o'clock with Capt. Harry
Leyhe in charge of the boat. The YES
sci has been revamped and reprinted
in battleship gray color remained
here till Sundaymorning 1t was on
its way from the wharf, where the
repairs were made.
The Eagle Packet Co., which owns
the Bald Eagle, lost four boats during
the heavy ice drive on the Ohio a
month ago. The Bald Eagle was an
chored together with the other four
boats that went down in the ice flows
but was the only one to be saved by
the company. The boat will continue
to make its regular trips between St
Louis and Cape Girardeau.
Capt. J. L. Stout, of this city, 4
veteran riverman, who is contemplate
ing returning to the river, was the
first man to board the boat, when it
reached the wharf at the foot of
Themis street. A large crowd, which
was attracted by the familiar sound
Of the Bald Eagle whistle, hurried to
the leyee to greet the boat on its
maiden trip of the season.

FARM AGENT ASKS
help FOR FARMERS
Says Crops Can Not Be Gathered
If Farmer Doesn't Get
Help.

The labor shortage on the farms in
Cape Girardeau County and the en-
tire southeastern section of the State
has become a serious problem that
the Commercial Club was urgently
asked by County Farm Agent Seth
Babcock TO come to the farmers res
cue. Mr.. Babcock said he had toured
the county during the last few days
an had found a shortage of farm
labor throughout the county.
"The question is serious one, he
said, "and will have to be solved. The
farmers told me that it was almost
impossible to get enough farm hands
to cultivate their lands for the fall
crops.
The majority of them told me they
could get their crops in without leav-
ing any land idle, but it would be i'm
possible to harvest the crops, if they
did not receive hell from some source"
President Harrison of the CONNER
cial Club suggested that the matter
be taken up with the heads of the
manufacturing plants of the city, and
that each manufacturer release a GER
tain number of employees during the
harvest time In that manner, he
believed, the shortage of labor could
be alleviated.

SECOND CALL Will
GET ONLY 100000
Men From Agricultural Enter
prises not to be Called
Before Fall.

Washington, March While
large number of men will be called
out during the present year to fl! the
army and complete it's organization,
it was learned tonight that War De
pagtment plans do not call for the
creation of any additional divisions
in 1918.
The announcement concerning the
second draft, expected soon from
Provost Marshal General Crowder, may
outline the manner in which less than
100000 men-probably not much
in excess of S00,O0G-are to be sum-
moned gradually during the year to
complete the existing organizations.
Delay in announcement as TO the next
draft is understoon TO be due to un-
certainty as to which method of allot-
ing quotas to the states S o'be fol
lowed
As to the date OF the second draft
members of Congress from agricul-
tural sections have been practically
assured thac 10 withdrawal OF men
E ON civil Efe was contemplated that
would cnbarrass harvesting. 1t has
been indicated, however, that rela-
lively small number of men must be
called to the col0rs prior to June /,
and that process may start in April,
when equipment, clothing and quar-
teys Will be available.
The men are needed to ill up to
full divisions slated for early depart
IRE to Europe and also for field SER
vice and corps troops not attached.
The replacement detachments also
must go forward at an accclerating
rate since American troops are now
holding $ ector &c The French frcrt
and men are being killed CT wounded

chicken has not had time to be,

resist lice attasks, but the early
