STAY T|EL THE FINISH


Washington, Dec. 6.-Secretary
Baker gave it as his personal opinion
today that none of the veteran divi-
sions OF the American army in
France will return home before
peace formally is declared. He in
dicated that the tried fighting men
would compose the bulk of the force
to be kept in Europe for the present.
Heretofore the understanding has
been that the Rainbow division and
two or three other of the famous
units would be brought home soon,
leaving their places to be filled by
some of the other divisions.

Value Of Annual Fairs

There is no longer any doubt
that annual fairs are worth more
20 a community than the same
mount of money expended in any
other advertising proposition.
There can be no denial of the as
sertion that welI-conducted fairs
are great helps in developing and
promoting industrial enterprises
% any section of the country.
This is especially true of farm
ing country, and as Louisiana
is essentially a farming conr-
cry, it goes without saying that
/. ihe very best means that could %
adopted to hasten the agricultural
progress of this section are we'll
managed and well-organized fairs.
Practically all fairs are losing
propositions, viewed from the
standpoint of immediate returns.
This is narrow and selfish view
point, and is not the correct
guage to use in testing the worth
of a fair, the advertising advan-
tages of which are fast being re-
allied by those who have the real
good of the entire community at
heart, and who ,.esire TO see the
country grow and prosper.
