PLANTERS SHOULD
r F~EEDSTUFFS


In 1904 one hundred pounds
of sugar would purchase 9.12
bushels of corn or 14.7 bushels
of oats. In 1918 it would pur-
chase 5.13 bushels of corn Or
8.8 bushels of oats. At the
present time it will purchase
only 3.42 bushels of corn or
6.66 bushels Of oats.
The foregoing figures, com
piled by Dean w. r. Dodson,
of the College of Agriculture,
L. S. u, prove clearly that, al
though sugar has advanced in
price, it has not advanced in
proportion to the principal
feedstuffs on the plantations
where it is purchased.
In other words the sugar
planter can now buy only half
as much feed with his sugar as
he could at average normal
prices.
This emphasizes two impor-
tant things said Dean Dodson:
first, that the sugar planter
should make a special effort to
raise all the corn he needs,
even should it be a poor corn
year; and second, sugar is not
so high as some would have
the public believe it is.
It will be necessary to take
into consideration the purchas-
ing power Of sugar measured
in terms of corn, oats, hay,
lard, bacon, flour, cotton goods
and leather when further con-
sideration is given to fixing of
the price of sugar, but in the
meantime, it behooves the
planter to try to raise enough
feed to make it unnecessary to
use sugar to pay for corn, oats
or hay.-L. S. U. Press Bulle-

PEOPLE OF FELIcIANA
SAY DUPRE WAS RIGHT

Below is a letter to Judge
Gilbert L. Dupre from a friend
in West Feliciana Parish in
which the st. Landry represen-
tative's attitude on the Board
Of State Affairs is warmly com
mended:
Wakefield, La, Feb. %, 1918.
Hon. Gilbert L. Dupre, Opelou-
sas, La.
Dear Sir: I'm sending you
under separate cover, the local
Journal of this West Feliciana
Parish. On page two, you will
find under head of "A call for
a Meeting" a criticism and ar
raignment Of the State Board
of Affairs.
You opposed the passage Of
the law creating said Board,
saying it was given autocratic
powers, and the people who
voted for it, would live to re-
greet their act.
Your words have come true.
A number Of our citizens and
tax payers are determined to
right the wrongs done this par
ish by said Board, if they have
to go into the courts to do so.
1t it almost impossible to con-
ceive the rotteness Of the tax
rolls Of this parish O. KID by
said Board and its Chairman.
Nr. L. E. Thomas.
/ have little doubt but that
this condition obtains in most
of the parishes of the state.
The law should be repealed or
radically amended. Now is
the time to start agitation for
that purpose.
! don't know how our mem
Der to the legislature stands,
.@l
but our people will be a unit
for its repeal.
Let me hear from you.
Very truly yours,
MAT GILMORE.

CANVASS CITY TO
RECORD CHILDREN
UNDER SIX YEARS

Il is expected that the house to
house canvass in the interest Of
child welfare will be completed by
SATURDAY, under the direction of the
Rock Island Parent-TeacheT asso-
citation and the woman's committee
council Of national defense. This
canvass is made in order to secure
a complete list OF Rock Island chill
dren under years of age,
There are many reasons why
mothers of the city should cooper
ate in the securing Of the correct
list Of small children First of all
the government wants a complete
birth record of children under 8
veads of age. The United states
census bureau does not recognize
The vital statistics Of Illinois be-
cause Of their incOmpleteness. This
lis a disgrace to the state and its
citizens wish 70 better conditions.
The day may come when it will be
necessary for the child to produce
IA. legal birth record for admission
to the public schools; as evidence
that he is I6 years old, when he
wishes to 90 to work. or is Of legal
voting age or wishes to inherit
property. Tt has been necessary for
soldiers to produce birth certitt-
Gates TO show whether they are Ii

This war is teaching the people
the value of a sound body which
will of course raise the standard OF
mental and moral efficiency. When
the president of the United States
called out the young men in the
first draft for the army One-third
of them were found to fall below
the standard of fitness and health.
Many of these physical defects and
diseases were found to have had
their origin in infancy, due to ig-
norance and carelessness in feed
ing and caring for the babies.
The future and strength of ma
ton depends on the vitality and
health of the child and upon his ed
ucation and equipment for citizen

New York.-To some Of the mem
bers of the German reichstag. peace
has become more important than
victory of the military class on the
battlefield. This is indicated by the
assertion recently in the German
parliament by Dr. Cohn, an indie
pendeut Socialist that he had ratn
er have peace without a monarchy
than war with a monarchy" The
speaker was discussing the army
budget.
The Socialist declared that It
seemed to him that the world war
was coming to be regarded as
family affair Of the Hohenzol-

announced, he said, that William
had attacked"
William has not attacked. Dr.
