Valuable Deposits Described in Geo
logical Survey Bulletin.

The clays Oh Louisiana have not
received great deal Of attention for
two reasons. the PRINCIPAL in-
dustry of Louisiana is agriculture,
the demand for clay products within
the state has not been great; further
more, most of the local needs for
structural material have been supplied
by it's large and valuable timber re-
sources. Some structural materials
have been manufactured from clay in
the vicinity Of some of the large cities,
but Louisiana in 1915 produced a lit
tie less than 0.25 per cent Tin value)
of the total clay products OF the
United States. ..:
In paper entitled Louisiana
Clays," by George G. Matson, Just is
sued as Bulletin 66O-E of the United
States Geological Survey, Department
of the Interior, clays obtained in each
of the principal geologic formations
of the state are described, and the re-
suits of tests made by the Bureau OF
Standards are. given. The paper
shows that there are in Louisiana
considerable deposits Of clay suitable

PROOF OF GERMAN CRUELTY.
Extracts from Soldiers Diaries Attest
,Inhuman Practices.

The 94-page booklet, German War
Practices" published by the Commit
tds on Public Information, devotes
one section to extracts from German
war diaries, among them being the
following: ga shell burst near the
Eleventh Company, and wounded
seven men; three very severely. At
S o'clock we were ordered by the Of
ficer in command of the regiment to
shoot all the male inhabitants OF
Nomeny: because the population was
fcolishly attempting to stay the ad--
vance Of the German troops by force
of arms. We broke into the houses,
and seized all who resisted, in order
to execute them according to martial
law The houses which had not been
already destroyed by the French ar
Il and orr own were set on fire
by us, SO that nearly the whole town
was reduced to ashes. 1t is a terri
Bile sight when helpless women and
children, utterly destitute, are herd
ed together and driven into France" "

MOSS AS STOCK FEED.
Said to Be Ussd with Satisfactory
Results by Texas Farmers.

In recent newspaper report it was
stated that the farmers around Bren-
ham, Texas, we're using common
Spanish moss as stock feed and that
many carloads we're being shipped to
the western part of the state, where
it was used in Unsatisfactory manner
by sheep men, and that it was giving
satisfaction.
This is a thing that certainly de-
serves to be Investigated. If moss is
good feed for sheep it might be first
class feed for cattle and if mixed
with other kinds of feed in the way
of mixed ration might indeed be an
ideal winter feed
There are in the south and south
west millions Of tons of Spanish moss
in easy reach Of transportation IA
cilities and it could be gathered at
maximum price IF So to So per ton.
All that is necessary in regard to
gathering would be a long stick with
an iron finger at one end which could
be thrust into the moss among the
limbs of the trees and transferred to
the ground. One man might easily
gather several tons in a day and it
would not be necessary to cut the
trees to get it.
In few miles Of Lake Charles
thousands Of tons Of fine moss could
be gathered every day and if it is fit
for stock the feed question would be
Settled.
The AmericanPress has faith in
the proposition and hopes some in

and is seeking from the general citi-

/. I will cheerfully change my hab-

wheat, meat, particularly pork pro-
ducts, and sugar.
2. I will put aside all wasteful and
extravagant habits and invest my
small savings in thrift stamps to help
finance the war.
3. I will assist in every possible
way to make all succeeding Liberty
Loans success.
A. will do my utmost to help the
Red Cross in its mission of mercy, to
extend relief to the suffering among
our allies and to care for the sick and
wounded soldiers.
5. will not be party to the
spreading of any insidious propaganda
started for the purpose of weakening
confidence in my government and

BOYS TO HELP WIN WAR.
Emergency Campaign Planned to In
crease Food Production.

A food production campaign has
been launched among the school boys
Of Louisiana by the Junior Extension
Division of 4. s. U. with the purpose
of increasing the amount Of food
raised in the state. A compilation has
been made Of the number OF eligible
bows in each parish, which affords a
basis for estimating the minimum
number that should be enrolled.
These estimates have been placed IN
the hands Of each parish demonstra-
tion agent and junior club agent with
instructions to enroll the number al
lotted to his parish.
The minimum number OF boys IN
the state that are expected to enroll
for the emergency food production
work is 16,445. :
ssThis campaign is being made sole
" for the purpose of increasing Lou
isiana's production Of corn, meats
and poultry" says 3. 5. Richardson

WASTE is CRIMINAL.
Every Loyal American Must Learn to
Economic and Save.

ssTo waste now is nothing short OF
criminal says Secretary Of the
Treasury McAdoo.
The duty of the American people to
economize in consumption of food and
all other materials as well as save
money, can not be too often or too
strongly urged upon them. The duty
is so imperative, it's observance 50
vital to our country's success, that 1t
should be kept constantly before
them.
The proposition is plain and under
standable. We have lessened the
productive powers of the country by
taking 100000 men away from the
productive forces Of the country; ;. M
stead of producers of one kind or an.
other the soldiers are consumers OF
the products of our farms, factories,
and mines, and when the munitions
fhey expend and will expend against
the enemy is considered they are tre-
mendous consumers of the manufac-
tured products of the country.
A tremendous amount of the man
ufacturing energy of the country has
been withdrawn from manuf q acturlhg
the things we use in peace and put
to manufacturing the things we use
in war. The total loss to the coun-
trv of the productive energy OF our
soldiers and sailors and the diver
sion of a great portion of the other
productive energy Of the country 70
war purposes lessen to "a great extent
the amount of material and supplies
produced by the country.
To this condition of lessened pro,
d,ction and increased consumption OF
and by our own men must be addeo
the extraordinary demand made. upon
this country to supply the armies o.
orr allies and to a great extent tneli
nopulation with food and other ma
terial. ~. L.,
We must meet the condition taa'
confronts us in two ways-by tnt
strictest economy in consumption, io1
every pound we refrain from USING
adds a pound to be devoted TO tnt
nses Of our army and navy and tat
military forces. of our allies; and .!
speeding up our production to TN

inc to do all that they know TO %
necessary to win this war--to shorter

"TAG-YoUR- SHOVEL" DAY.
School Children of Nation Asked to
Help in Coal Saving Crusade.

The United States Fuel Administra-
tion announces that January 80 will
be national "Tag- -Your-Shover' day.
The 21,350,000 school children of the
country will perform the patriotic
work of tagging the coal shovels in
American homes.
In this extra effort to save coal for
war purposes the government seeks
the widest publicity through the CO.
operation of the daily, weekly, and
periodical press, motion-picture thea
ters, and individuals.
Tag ur-Shovel day falls on We'd
nesday, and it is expected that gov
erners, mayors, and teachers will
unite in arranging for school holi-
day-one of the few special national
school holidays ever proclaimed. Two
great printing plants are now turning
out the tags and posters, and it may
be taken for granted that all the chill
dren everywhere, except those who
are unfortunate enough to be down
with measles or mumps or something,
will be on the job January so for
Uncle Sam.
The tags, on the face, bear this
wording: "Save that shovelful of
coal day for Uncle Sam" On the
reverse are these hints on saving coal:
/. Cover furnaces and pipes with
asbestos, or other insulation; also
weather strip your windows, or stuff
cracks with cotton.
2. Keep your rooms at 68 degrees
(the best heat for healthy.
3. Heat only the rooms you use all
the time.
4. Test your ashes by sitting. If
you find much good coal there is some
thing wrong with your heater. See a
furnace expert.
s. Write to the maker Of your fur
mace or stove for practical directions
for running economically.
6. Save gas and electric light as
much as possible-this will save coal
for the nation.
The Fuel Administration points out
that this tag day is different from all
other tag days. Instead of asking for
cash contributions the school children
will demand that householders save
money-save money for food, for war
savings stamps, for Liberty bonds,
and at the same time add to the gov
ernment's coal pile.
A million carloads of coal, more
than ever was taken out of the ground
in this country in single year, will
have been mined and delivered in
1917. Another million carloads were
needed, but no human power could
make so sudden an increase in pro-
duction where the bare physical re
auirements were on SO vast scale.
But the necessities of war can not
wait, and the American people must
face q typical American problem
III meeting and sagisf an unheard.o1
increase il demand for coal with IN.
adequate facilities for creating Iaa-
creased supply.
The school children will not neglect
any coal shovels, no matter how hum
BILE or how exalted they may be.
President Wilson's shovel at the
White House will be tagged, as well
as the shovels Of governors, mayors,
nillionaires, and wage-workers.
In the minds of the Fuel Admins
tration officials and the boys and girls
of the schools, TagYour-Shovei day
will be serious occasion. It's main
purpose is to help supply the machine
power to help the man power WIN the
war.

BETTER START FIGURING.
Income Tax Man Coming to Donald
sonville Next Month.

It will be well for, every unnar-
ried person whose net income for
1917 is $1,000 or over, and every mar
ried person living with wife or hus-
band whose net income for 1917
is $4,000 or over, to call on the income
tax man and learn whether or not
they have any tax to pay. The per-
son subject to tax who doesn't make
return in the time prescribed is going
to regret it. The government will get
after all income tax slackers.
There's hardly business man, mer-
chant, or professional man who won't
have to make return of income.
Farmers, as class, will have to pay
the tax. The safe thing to do is for
every person who had a total income
of $1,000 or $4,000, as the case may
be, and who is not sure about what
deductions the law allows him, to
ssplay it safe'' by calling on the in
come tax man. He will have forms
for everybody, and persons who ex-
pect to call on him need not trouble
themselves to write to the internal
revenue collector for forms.
