A few years back Avoca was, IN

seething activity Of live stock opera

Some two years ago the business

coupled with practical vision OF the
possibilities to make Louisiana the
foremost live stock state in the Union,
Joined hands with nineteen of the
leading business men of the state in

into a great live stock demonstration

During the course of building the

careful attention to the infusion Of
sturdy new blood into the herds,
thereby maintaining high quality in
the breeding herds and likewise meet

The statistics involved in the farms
operations cover in detail all the

complete inventory of all crops and

they cost, and all that sort of infor-
nation, which is so requisite in con-
Quoting any large business, and from
those detailed records will come the
profitable results in orderly success

of Louisiana for getting the whole
meat industry of the state on sound

The meat producing enterprise on
Avoca is q remarkable development
of initiative and resource. 1t is a
great constructive plan for broaden
ing agriculture in cattle and hog
raising in Louisiana to the point Of
making it one Of the leading live
stock states which will do much to
add materially to the prosperity and
income of the people at large.
In less than two short years time,

Thoroughness of business conduct,
that is pretty near perfection, is the
rule of the managers at Avoca, for
the property is being managed by
men not only skilled in executive
work and live stock production, but
trained in buying, selling and work
ing a big enterprise as a unit.
Improvements have gone on with

In order to lead the way for the
greater development of the live stock
industry in Louisiana and at the same
time attract the northern stock grow
er and northern capital to this branch
of agricultural effort, the Louisiana
Live Stock Company was organized
for the purpose Of inviting northern
bushes men to share in the develop
ment that would serve as lasting
advertisement Of the wealth that
Louisiana can produce through com
mercial animal husbandry.
The business of the company is the
reising, feeding and marketing of
beef cattle and hogs under intensive
methods. The first consideration in
the operations on Avoca Island was
the establishment Of great live stock
demonstration farm conducted under
modern methods of production and
marketing, which would tend to

has been well established at the Avoca

performing all major work by ma

On the bayous that surround the
island numerous wharves have been
erected, which permit of shipping the
animals to market by barge at the
lowest expense and without loss of
weight in transportation. The bayous
and wharves, also, are used for shift
ing the farm machinery to different
points on the property as needed, and
to move the crops at will TO the stor-
age and feeding centers.

The negligee or lounging robe is
winning favor every day. Many a
woman wa worker is thankful when
her eight, Or ten or more hours in
her office or canteen are owe and she
ear go to her home and shed her
uniform for one of these comfortable
negligees. Not one who has spent
out money for velvet, chiffon or satin
or any of the expensive materials
which are used to fashion these
gowns has regretted her act.
In of the fashionable apart
ments near Washington where many
women war workers are living, one
rarely eve makes an informal eve
ming call that n is not greeted by
a vision in some wonderful creation
of draped chiffon. These women
work so hard when they work that
rest is absolutely essential and so
their recreation must be taken in
with their rest or they must go with
out it. And %negligees nave become
their recreation. What they spent
in other years on party frocks and
dinner gowns is now being put into
what they ordinarily spent for rec
reation is now used to buy beautiful
negligees in which they may spend
their leisure moments.
One woman said that all she ever
wanted to be perfectly content was
a negligee to fit her mood and a cup
of tea.
The robe pictured ought to suit al
most any.wood and it has the two
essential features of a. perfect negli-
gee. 1t is luxurious and pleasing to
the y and comfortable. Canary
colored chiffon velvet fashions the
u~nderpart, while turquoise blue crepe
chiffon forms the. coat. The chiffon
is edged with moonstone trimming.
