WHEATLEss DAYS STILL ON.
Flour-Saving Regulations Not Re-
pealed by Concession to Bakers.
There has been much misunder-

standing regarding the new order re-
lating to wheatless days. The wheat
less days are still on and are more
important than ever, because the
wheat shortage is acute and there is
no chance of relieving the strain un-
til the next crop reaches the mills.
The only way enough wheat flour for
shipment to the soldiers and the ma
tions abroad can be obtained is to
save it out Of consumption.
To make sure that Louisiana will
save her share, Mr.. Parker instituted
two wheatless days each week upon
which no wheat products of any kind
were to be eaten, sold, bought,
handled or used He named Mon-
day and Wednesday as the days and
these obtain in all but the third con-
gressional district, which had pre-
viously instituted Sunday and We'd
nesday.
It was intended that the bakers
should manufacture bread made of
other hours than wheat for consump-
tion on those days, but the vast ma
jority quit turning out any bread at
all, thus inflicting hardship upon the
poor. Besides, there was an unpa-
triotic minority that baked and sold
extra quantities of bread on the days
preceding the wheatless, and even
took advantage of the opportunity to
profiteer So it was decided to clear
the situation and protect the deserv-
ing by permitting the baking and sale
of war bread on wheatless days.
In every other way, the days are
still wheatless, and it is important
that they be sacredly observed. The
bakers, both employers and en-
ployees, drew a lesson from their
brief experience, and are now urging
that work on one day can very well
be dispensed with and no harm be
done to the public. There is a move
ment among them to ask the legisla-
ture to extend the Sunday law to
cover bakeries, which are now exempt
from the provisions of the statute.

LOUISIANA BREAKS RECORD.
Tick Eradicatipn Workers Hope to
"Ciean ur State This Year.

Louisiana isof to flying start il

campaign to eradicate the cattle

this year from the federal quarantine
AT the present rate of. progress,
says the March report of the fedora
Inspector in Louisiana, "all Of Louisi
ana should be placed above the quar-.
antine line by December 1, 1918, and
the few ticky cattle remaining can be
controlled by local quarantine in &C.
cordance with provisions in the state.
wide tick eradication law"
All records for dipping vat con.
struction were broken in March,
when 813 were made ready for opera
ton. This made up to April / to-
tai of 3478 watts III the state. Al
though the statewide tick eradication
law in Louisiana did not become op-
erative until April I, 100000 cattle
were actually dipped under superyi-
sion during March as a result of CO.
operation Of cattle owners with the
federal and state authorities.
The vat building record was
smashed in March despite difficulties
in obtaining gravel and sand, and
other obstacles, all Of which were met
and surmounted One evidence of
good cooperation in Louisiana, ac-
cording to the Inspectors report, is
the public use OF private vats built
from private funds. Another proof
of interest !. shown in one parish
where public funds were limited and
where the people built the watts with
.sheir own money with the understand
ing that the parish would reimburse
fllarn in 1919 without interest.
Every parish in Louisiana except
East Carroll, Madison, and Tensas,
long since cleaned up, is expected to
be engaged IN the general dipping of
all cattle under the new state law
State and parish officials are de-
scribed in the Inspectors report as
giving splendid cooperation. The
State Live. Stock Sanitary Board pays
from the state funds for one ins
spector in each parish Each parish
is furnishing liberal quota Of local
inspectors. Some parishes are furn-
ishing as many as % compared with
the four or FIVE that might have been
thought excessive eighteen months
ago.
Approximately 600 local inspectors
now are working under the supervi-
sion Of the federal inspectors. The
Bureau of Animal Industry of the U.
S. Departm merts pf Agriculture has
provided 80 veterinarians, IA trained
and experienced agents, and adequate
office room with corps of clerks.
Four Of the veterina arians who have
had long experience in tick eradlca-
rs traveiing
inspectors from the central office at
Baton Rouge and call on every SUI
pervising veterinarian, Inspector, and
agent in each parish to give frequent
uniform information and instruc-
tons.

"The Honor of His House.

It would be difficult to name bet
ter piece of photoplay construction
than is found in ''The Honor Of His
House." fve-part Paramount pic
ture starring Sessue Hayakawa,
which will be shown at the Grand
Monday. The story has an absorb
ing theme that rises in the denoue-
ment to tragic height. The eternal
triangle is treated in a new way, and
the man who sought to turn a wo-
MANS steps into the path of dishonor
is made to see his conduct IN its
right light and to realize that true
love never seeks to degrade its object.
Sessue Hayakawa plays the leading
role with the intense reserve that IS
fouad in all his approximations. His
mental conflicts hold the attention
with an almost uncanny fascination,
ana his face has the implacability OF
fate. Deft craftsmanship marks the
progress Of the drama from start to
fifrist. There is mo padding, no
bungling development, no ambling off
into side paths. The story gathers
force steadily and smoothly and holds
the attention to the end.

VELVET BEANS IN CORN.
Parish Agent Urges Planting Of Few
Acres ON Every Farm,

| In view OF the scarcity and high
prices OF cowpeas, there seems to he
somewhat of prevailing tendency to
reduce the acreage of this years
crop. However when we consider The
increasing gravity of the war situa-
tlon, and that the year 1919 cannot do
otherwise but bring to our farmers
added responsibilities and demands in
the way of food and feed production.
it is no doubt the part of wisdom to
exert every effort to at least main
tain-and wherever conditions per-
nit, to increase-the yielding power
Of our lands.
know of no better, cheaper and
surer way to do so than by the use of
barnyard manure and the planting Of
cowpeas and velvet beans.
In this connection | wish to state
that | cannot recall single crop that
has gained such wide prominence and
general adoption in as short period
of time, as has the velvet bean. Like
the coWpea, it is leguminous plant
and is uneoualled as soil builder and
pasture crop for cattle and hogs, af-
ter killed by frost.
IHlS DedH slS uol particular ABOUT
the type of soil on which it is grown,
for it does very we'll on our poorest
soils. In view of it's excellence as
soil builder. and the inexpensive cost
of seed, believe this to be the oppor-
tune time to plant few acres on
every farm and plantation in Ascen-
sion parish. Where conditions rela-
tive to labor permit, the beans may
be gathered, and used for feeding
mules on the plantation. Some of
the planters Of Louisiana are today
grinding the beans and hulls with
corn and hay.
It is preferable to plant the velvet
bean in corp. so as to give the plant
i17n1e support AS rule. one peck
of these beans will plant an acre.
It is common practice to plant a
row of corn, and then row of beans,
alternating in every other row of
corn. However, this is merely a
matter of choice on the part of the
individual grower. Plant sufficiently
early, SO that the beans will receive
two or three workings before the corn
is laid-by.

"The LEGION Of Death. y

In this magnificent special produe-
ton, which comes to the Gem May
II and 12, the most dramatic mo-
ment in Russia's history-perhaps in
the history of the worlds pictured.
When the men at the front despaired
of victory and laid down their arms,
a noble band of women, the Battalion
of Death, took their places in the
trenches and fought the Huns. This
great screen drama immortalizes this
moment and shows the scenes of re-
joicing when Russia threw off the
yoke of the czar. "The Bernhardt of
the screen" Edith Storey, plays the
part of the Princess Marya, who
leads the women warriors into battle.
The role calls for dramatic fire, and
Miss Storey rises to great heights in
it. "The Legion of Death" is a pro-
duction long to be remembered.
