FOLLOW DIRECTIONS
AND HELP WIN WAR

You would give your life for
your country. You would scorn
an American whose patriotism
ended with waving flags, cheer
ing the troops and standing up
when the band plays. You want
to serve your country.
Are you willing to do what
your government asks? Are you
willing to follow directions?
Are you so comfortably fixed
that you can afford to eat what
you please? All, but you can't
afford to eat what your country
needs. Follow directions.
Are you saving now of your
slender means all you possibly
can? Still, as far as your cir
cumstances permit, Follow dir
rections.
Have you servants who can't
be made to understand? 1t is
your chore to see that they do.
Follow directions.
Follow directions. Today the
direction is to save two slices of
bread, an ounce of meat, an
ounce of sugar, a snitch of but
ter. Tomorrow as, conditions
change there will be new direc-
tons. Follow directions.
Follow directions. If Germany
wins you will be obeying orders
given by some one you will not
care to obey. Your government
asks you to prove that free peo-
pie can follow directions.
Follow directions. If we fail
in this the war will drag on. AS
we succeed, we shall sooner have
peace. Follow directions.

VENTILATION OF HEN HOUSE
AS Necessary for Laying Fowls in Wine
ter as In Summer--keep Windows
and Doors Open

The henhouse needs fresh air-a6
much in the winter as in the SUMNER
1t is as necessary to laying hens aa
clean water and good feed. Badly ven-
tilated houses make hens lose vitality
they lay fewer eggs, and often become
sick, and stop laying altogether. Ven-
tilation is needed also to keep the
house dry. When the circulation OF
the air is poor in cold weather, mois-
ture collects on the inside of the walls
and roof. At freezing temperature
under such conditions there is rapid
accumulation of frost on these sur
faces which makes the house very I'M
comfortable
Ventilation to provide pure air and
dryness in poultry house is simply
matter of keeping doors and win
dows open as much as is necessary
to keep the walls dry. Few poultry
keepers have any difficulty in doing
this until the temperature goes low
enough to freeze water in the house
Then the tendency is to close doors
and windows to keep the house warm
A general rule which may be followed
is to open doors and windows as wide
as is necessary to keep the house dry
in cold weather and to keep them wide
open when water in the house will not
freeze.

Military Censors Permit Press to
Announce Location of
American Army.
TWO KILLED AND 9 WOUNDED
First Real Battle on U. S. Front Line,
at Germany's Border, Considered
U. S. Triumph--Foe's Trench
es Hammered to Pieces.

With the American Army in France,
Feb. 6.-American troops now are oc-
cupying a sector of the Lorraine front
In France.
This announcement is permitted Dy
the military censors.
The whole American sector is re-
sounding with the boom of guns. Air
men became exceedingly active along
the American front during the day.
A German barrage fire at shutdown
opened the heaviest bombardment OF
many days along the American sector,
the American artillery replying shell
for shell as the firing of the heavy
guns spread along several kilometers
in front.
Two Americans were killed and nine
wounded during the bombardment ana
one suffered shell shock.
The German trenches are battered
to ruins as a result Of the first artll-
lery battle of the war between Ameri-
can and German troops.
officers who have returned from a
survey of the havoc wrought by the
Yankee shells declare that the action
was complete and indisputable VIC
tory for the American gunners.
Three direct hits were obtained upon
German dugouts, which were utterly
destroyed; large portion of the Ger
man front-line trench was battered
into crumpled mass of earth and con-
crete, and great gaps were torn in the
barbed wire entanglements.
Compared with the German losses,
the American casualties of two killed
and nine wounded appear insignificant.
After the bombardment wounded
American soldier was discovered In
position where it was necessary TO
carry him over trench top to held
dressing station.
A medical corps man displayed the
Red Cross and the Germans ceased
firing until the man was removed.

pended from business for violating or
disregarding food regulations. The
latter firm does a business Of two
million annually. "Violating the ad-

Exchanges Ele Costly.
.GAs4A-..


If mail order buyer is diSappOint-
be when he compares the article upon
its arrival with the picture and f1Owery
description which appeared in the
catalogue, the wisest plan is to take
what he gets and make the best of 1t
for every time he sends an article back
to be exchanged. he is piling up the ex-
press or freight charges and even II
the article is exchanged as requested,
the buyer is not apt to fare much bet
ter on the second attempt.
The mail order houses are well
aware Of the fact that the majority Of
their customers will not go to the trou
BILE and expense of returning an ar
ticle if it does not come up to their
expectations and as result they can
work the substitution game to their
hearts content.
The home merchant, however, can
not do business in this way and, as has
been said, the majority Of them would
not do it If they could. The home mer
chant, if he has not the article called
for. may Offer another with the expla-
nation that it Is of the same quality
as the one for which the customer
asked. Good merchants nowadays even
hesitate to offer something lust as
good to the customer especially when
the article called for is one that has
become well-known and popular
through the advertising done by the
manufacturer, but to attempt to make
or consent of the customer! Well, it
isn't being done by the local merchants
today.
Substitution Made Easy.
Substitution is made easy for the
mail order houses also, by the fact
that they do not sell much of what is
known as "advertised' goods-that is,
goods that have been thoroughly adj
vertised by the manufacturers and
have become nationally known through
such advertising. A large part Of the
merchandise which the mail order
houses sell purports to be manufac-
tured by them-although in most cases
little of it is made in their own plants.
Much Of this merchandise bears only
the name of the mail order house and
it is easy to substitute one article for
another without the customer being
any the wiser.
The methods of the home merchant |
are different. With the great |
Of advertising In recent |
years much Of the merchandise carried |
by the retail merchant Is advertised"
gooda These goods are of familiar |
brands, the names Of which have been |
made famous by the national advertis- |
Ing Of the makers. This advertising is |
q distinct protection to the buyer for |
the latter knows when he goes into his |
local store and asks for an article of !
this kind that he will get just what he
asks for If the merchant has 1t in
stock and that he will be told II the
article Is not In stock. There Is abso-
utely no opportunity for the merchant
to put one over" on him, even If the
had the inclination to do so.

If You Act In Time

1t is not the intention to stop vol
untary inductions into U. S. service
in its various branches, as had been
previously announced. Voluntary
service will continue under compe-

,cVives notification that they have
been drafted there is no chance for
individual induction, the draft must
be obeyed.-Geuydan News.

MANY STILL LOVE:
TO Be HuMbuGGED
Seem Not to Mind Having "Some-
thing Put Over" on Them the
Least Bit.

Mail Order Houses Find 1t Easy to
Make Substitutions Because OF
the Cost Of Making
Exchanges.

It was famous American Snowman
who declared that the American people
love to be humbugged. That saying is
many years old now but sometimes 1t
seems that there is about as much
truth in it now as there was when it
was first uttered.
People as rule do not like the idea
of having something put over" on
them, but from the way in which the
great mail order houses in the big
cities flourish it seems that great
many people do not mind it bit.
The business man who, when he gets
q call for an article which he has not
in stock, attempts to substitute some
other article of similar nature with
out telling the buyer of the substitu-
ton, is putting something over" on
his customer. Few retail merchants
nowadays attempt to do a thing OF that
kind. The great majority Of merchants
do not do this for two reasons. One
reason is that they wouldn't do 1t If
they could and the other is that they
couldn't do it If they would. The man
who buys an article over the counter
and sees what he is buying before he
pays for it, is pretty sure to get what
he wants.
Ordered Shirt, Got Pajamas.
But there is another class of mer-
chants, of which the same thing can
not be said. A man who has been close
~ connected with some Of the big mail
order houses Is authority for the state
ment that the heads Of the various
merchandise departments Of many
mail order houses have standing orders
to substitute with the nearest thing
they have II the articles ordered are
not in stock and available for delivery.
It Is related that in one instance as a
result Of these instructions, a man who
ordered dress shirt from mail order
house received pair Of pink pajamas
instead.
It is easy for the mail order house to
get away with this substitution Of an
other article for the one that Is or
dered for the reason that to exchange
an article received from a catalogue
house is costly undertaking.

Intensive Farming A Success

D. J. Borel of Carenco was in La
fayette last Thursday and reported
that his experiment in intensive
farming is proving a big success. He
is working on a two-acre system.
Irish potatoes were the first planted,
to be succeeded by cotton and follow
ed by cabbage. The potatoes are run
ming above the average to the, ocre
both in size and yield. His 4O-acre
cotton crop at the plantation is up
and altogether he feels very well sta
isfied with both the experimental and
practical farming efforts he has I'M
dertaken this ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Ga

Mr.. Lacy Of Houston, Texas, con-
nected with the Rail Road Co., is
spending a few days here this week.
The evening leader., 1918-11-11
SENATOR
FLETCHER
WAS HERE
Prominent Citizens Arranged
for Entertainment Sat-
urday Night.

Senator Duncan U. Fletcher, Flori-
da's senior senator, honored Tarpon
Springs with his presence on last
Saturday evening. The senator was
at banquet in Tampa at the Hills
boro hotel which he could not leave
until 4 p. M, so it was impossible for
him to reach Tarpon Springs in time
to see the great developments which
have been started on the river front
and to gather an idea of the necessity
for the government to appropriate
money for deepening the Anclote
river.
But the senator was told about these
things and in his address later in the
~ Hening he assured those present th@t
he would do all he could to further
this project.
G. A. LQEde2, III his fast autorio
bile, accompanied by a. Linn and /.
y. Vinson, went to Tampa and
brought the senator back with them,
taking him first to the river and then
to the home of Mr.. A. Linn. Later
he was brought to the Ferns hotel
where a gathering of interested and
leading citizens were awaiting him,
and where The Leader man had the
pleasure Of presenting the senator
with the latest dispatch from the war
front which had just arrived and
which the senator read with much in
I+erest.
The assembly then escorted the hon
ored guest over to the American Cafe
terra where a hasty banquet had been
prepared and twenty-seven people sat
down at the tables which had been ar
ranged in the form Of a horseshoe.
The senator sat at the head of the ta-
bic with G. E. Noblit on his right and
J. r. West on his left, A. Linn being
at Mr.. Vests left and being introduc-
ed by Mr. West, asked the blessings of
the Creator on the assembly and all
