Among the most important news re-
ceived during the week by John NJ.
Parker. Food Administrator for Louis
lana. was the announcement by the
National Bureau of Markets that it
had selected and was training an III
spector of produce who would begin
service at New Orleans about Feb
t ruary 10th. This will mean tremen-
duuS retirement in the handling of
periShalleS in this market. Car loads
of produce often remain unlOaded for
many days. because of disputes as t.
the condition of the consignment and
the refusal of any party to the trans
action to accept the responsibility
which will release the food to con
sumption. Government inspection will
certify to condition, the certificate will
be binding upon all concerned. the cal
delays will Lee oiviated. the danger al
food waste removed, and everybody l.,

um of Plain Dealing High School,
which was not sufficient to hold the
enthusiastic audience-nearly every
body i'll town being present. The meet
ing was gotten UP with but little pub
iicity. but the enthusiasm aroused
through it was of the most convincing
character.
The speakers were introduced by
Prof. Eygleston, principal of the school.
The first address was by Secretary
demonstrating of the necessity of the
proper saving of food and of the great
need of it for the prolongation of
human life, of the wretched plight that
our allies were now in on account of
this great shortage of food, and told of
the great cruelty practiced by the Ger
mans on the women and children of
Belgium and other warning countries
of their inhuman deeds-;tnd fired the
Patriotism of all present and convinced
them of TIE urgent need of economy
and food saving. His address was ii
notable one. and he had the audience
with him from start to finish.
Mr.. :. +. Hicks was the next speak
| er, and, as he is noted for being CON
sentative in everything he takes an i'll
terest in. his great e;frnestneSs I'M
pressed his hearers. He illustrated the
idea of how the merchants could get
together in this great work and thus
| limit the waste for which our Southern
people are noted His address was
marked by its practical advances i'll
this direction and there is no question
of there not being team work here
after. The people hereabouts have con-
fidence in Mr.. Hicks and his great in,
terest in this patriotic work.
Mr. Il. s. Burt spoke on the great
need of raising plenty of foodStuffS
aud especially in giving distance i'll
width for the rows. SiX-foot rows is
his hobby. and every one who adopted
that plan last season has corn enough
to do them this season. He is thor
oughiy alive to the interests Of the
Boys Fig Clubs and other clubs an(
community work.
Last. but by no means least, was the
talk by Mr.. G. L. Gilmer. but time ant
space forbid more lengthy notice.
