MEAT. PACKERS . 4A>.,
WINNING THE WAR
All the Packers in the Country In
crease Their Plants

Chicago, Oct. 14-American pack
ers are doing far more than merely
| furnishing meat foods to the soldiers
and sailors of the United States and
her allies, according to c.. S. Chun-
chill, advisory superintendent for
Swift u Company, who addressed the
American Meat Packers convention
today.
tThe general public realizes little
Of the wori; that the packer is doing
to win the war;" said MI Churchill.
ave are furnishing great deal OF
material for the manufacture of mu
nitions, including glycerine, potash,
and sulphuric acid. Our sheep skins
are used to manufacture cold-proof
coats.
every pound Of wool that we have
is taken by the Government as fast
as we prcGuce it, and the price is
fixed by the Government.
EThere isn't pound of stock food
manufactured today that is not being
used to help win the war, because it
goes to put weight on live stock that
is badly rceded by our soldiers and
sailors.
"The tons of fertilizer which we
manufacture aid in growing mere
crops that will be used later to feed
i1ore soldiers to fight the HUN.
Glue has its uses. Soap certainly i"
a big item. Albumen is another
highly important product; it is now
used in the construction Of aero
planes.
'Thcyc are also many other pro-
ducts, too numerous to mention, not
one of which, believe, does not have
an important place in the conduct Of
the war.
1--WE, of Swift & Company, believe
in giving credit where credit is due
and [ want to say that our labor has
perfol med cheeIfully the giant tasks
set for US by the Food AdminiStIa-
ton. No order has been too big,
no job too overwhelming for them
"Recognition Of this willingness to
serve has resulted in an increase for
male labor totaling more than 100
per cent Stree February, 1916. In
the case Of our female help the in
crease has been even greater, this
help now receiving 165 per cent moro
than in 1916"
TIC take care of the war business,
Mr. Churchill said that all the pack
crs in the country had been forced
to build new freeZers and buildings of
every description at a cost two to
three .Ino, greater than pre-w,tI
cost.
He oai1 tribute to the government

Industry ard of the army who select

ain addition to the safeguard that
this is TO the soldier and sailor, it is

Mistakes Poison
For Candy; Dies

A sad accident happened in the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Emmett Pier
son at Pinecliff on last Thursday
when bottle of poison tablets were
mistaken by little Eleanor, age two,
and eaten for candy. The child be-
came violently i'll Immediately after
eating the tablets but rallied several
times after the physician reached the
bedside and applied the prescribed
remedies, at one time she being con-
sidered entirely out of danger.
The little one was relieved of her
suferings by death during the night
and on Friday the body was brought
to the home of her grandparents,
Mr.. and Mrs. H. W. Magee, where
it was watched over by loving family
friends and after a sweet and COM
forting ceremony by Pastor Kimber-
lin in the Baptist church on Sat
urday morning, was laid to rest in
Ellis cemetery. Mr.. and Mrs. Pier
son and the entire Magee family
have the deep sympathy of this COM
munity, little Eleanor being a great
favorite in her grandfather's home

MONEY, INSTEAD OF MERcHAN
Disc, SHOULD BE SENT
To SOLDIERS

The original order that the APPROX
al of regimental or higher com
mander was necessary efore pack.
ages might be sent to members OF
the expeditionary forces has been
modified so officers with. the rank Of
major may approve shipments. The
approval of company commander
is not sufficient.
The question of the shipment of
parcels to France first came to the
attention of the War Department
when the commanding general of the
expeditionary forces cabled that con-
gestio of such articles had reached
such point that French railroads
were unable to handle the load. A
board appointed by the Secretary of
War and the Postmaster General
examined 5000 sacks of parcelpost
mail, and found that the articles
being sent not only in the main, were
absolutely unnecessary, but undesir-
able. The investigation showed that
gestion of such articles had reached
a total of 100000 pounds a week,
and was steadily increasing.
Relatives and friends, according
to recent statement by the War
Department will find they often can
do a greater service to soldiers by
sending them money for the pur-
chase of articles in France than by
the articles. Tobacco is
now being supplied as part of the
army rations, and merchandise of
nearly all kinds may now be pur-
chased in France through the huge
general store established by the
Quartermaster Corps at lower prices
than charged by retail dealers here.

CAPTAIN ROWAN
IS DISMISSED
FROM ARMY
Bogalusa Man Who Failed
to Obey Orders Going to
Russia

E. C. Rowan, a we'll known resi-
dent of Bogalusa who was engaged
in the real estate business here and
who was made captain at the first
officers training camp and stationed
at Camp Pike, has been dismissed
from the service according to the
following report sent out Of Camp
Pike and published last Saturday in
the New Orleans papers.
BY virtue Of telegraphic conmuni-
cation from the War Department re-
.ceived last Friday at Camp Pike
Captain Eugene C. Rowan, late Of
the lend Depot Brigade, was dis
missed from the service and Lieu
tenant Robert H. Hall was dismissed
and given a sentence Of twenty-five
years hard labor at the military pris=
on at Leavenworth, Kan.
Captain Rowan's case attracted at
tention while it was before general
court-martial several months ago.
Captain Rowan's offense was that he
refused to obey an order issued by
the brigade commander calling for
a troop formation because both
negro and white soldiers were in
cluded in the formation. He is
native of Georgia, but has recently
lived in Mississippi. Captain Row
an left Camp Pike this afternoon
and said that he will go to Russia
to assist in the reorganization of the
army if he can secure pass
ports. He is a veteran of the Span
ish-American war and a. graduate of
the first officers training camp.
Lieutenant Hall was mess officer of
The 348th Infantry and deserted late
in February. Several days after
wards a check-up of the mess fund
revealed shortages amounting to
about $1,000. He was arrested in
San Francisco. A part Of the fund

It costs money to wage war. Just
as we individually must pay our gro
Gerry bills through our earnings. so
must the government now pay for

chandise and all war material from

zens

The pool will include a bath

The building will be in keeping with

MEXICAN SMUCClERS'
INGENIOUS SCHEMES

III Paso. Tex. Feb. s. Many In.
genious schemes are devised for get
ting contraband articles across the
Mexican border and despite the vigil
lance OF the war trade board aud
customs officials often succeed Men
In the employ OF the smugglers will
conceal themselves behind the bull
let-proof abode houses on the Mcxi-
can side and fire shots across the
border into the United States. This
Is intended to attract the border pa
trolls to that particular point to In
vestigate the cause OF the shooting.
The smugglers will then rush their
contraband articles across the border
at other points distant from the
scene OF the firing.
Another plan Is to have a chain of
small Mexican grocery stores estab-
lished In the Mexican quarter near
the border. Contraband goods are
sent from wholesale houses to these
grocery stores apparently in the
course OF legitimate business. But
the small stores In reality are only
blinds for the smugglers who slip
out OF the back doors OF these stores
and wade the river with the sacks
OF sugar, flour or lard on their
backs. To stop this practice licenses
OF several wholesale houses we're re-
yoked here recently. Women and
children are also employed in snug
Cling.

Many phases OF the life OF Columr
bus offer mysteries that the hlstort
aus have never been able to clear
away. and one student OF the lie OF
the great explorer has come across
an incidental mystery that has an Qp'
peallng interest. II relates TO boy
who accompanied the expedition OF

hers, and consequently the first white
boy To set foot In America.
The contemporary accounts OF the
first expedition Of Columbus mention
the boy In question only once aud
that briefly. They indicate that he
was the only boy In the expedition
and they place On his young shoul
