When the call first came we ques-
toned our ability to secure the

that there still remained plenty and
that hearts were generous and hands

FIVE DOLLAR BILLS SELLING FOR S4.13

The United States Government
sold $500 Wars Savings Stamps at
Sab in February, and is selling
them in March for s4.14, raising the
price one cent month throughout
the year. The people of this State
should be impressed with the fact
that a $500 bill to-day will not buy
as much or as many of the pleasures
of life for which we save money as
will War-Savings Stamp when it
natures on January 1st, 1923.
The war cannot be fought with
paper money; we cannot wad up a
$500 bill and shoot it at the Kaiser
and do any damage; that bill is
merely demand for wheat, or wool
or gasoline, or some other material
which our Government actually
needs to successfully win the war,
80 the wise thing for us to do is not
to spend money, but to loan it to
the Government. get 4% interest
compounded quarterly, for it, and
then five years from now the Gov
eminent will cash the stamp and we
will have the money-then it will
buy more of the things which we
want than it will to-day.
1t is not only good sense but it is
patriotic" as well, to buy War
Savings Stamps.

Word was sent to st. Joseph and
Newellton on Wednesday evening that
the great stacks of lumber i'm the yards
of the Case Lumber Company, on Lake
Bruen, were OH fire, and almost every
vehicle available from either place and
adjacent country was filled with men
and hurried to the scene of conhagra
ton and ty heroic work much lum-
her was saved that would otherwise
have been lost. As it was nearly 6OO,-
100 feet of lumber was burned. We
understand the lumber belonged to
f. Sondheimer Co. of Memphis, and
was partially insured. The Case Lum
Der Co., however, suffers somewhat
by the loss.

The Str. Senator Cordill, plying in
the Vicksburo and Greenville trade,
struck submerged snag at Belleview,
some distance above Vicksburg, on
Tuesday morning, about 9 O'Clock, and
sank, fortunately in shallow water
All passengers and live stock were
safely landed. 1t is not believed the
damage to the Cordill will be great
and she can easily be raised. Aside
some live stock aboard the Cordill's
cargo consisted mainly of cotton, cot
ton seed and corn, much of which will
be damaged by the water, which COW
cred the boiler decks. The Cordill was
valued at 100000 and was conceded
to be one of the finest boats of her
type operating in the Mississippi river
trade. She was built i'm 1902 at JEFF
fersonville, Indiana, and the hull was
rebuilt i'm 1912 at Mound City, Illinois.
She was owned by the Royal Route
Co. and ran in the Natchez and Nicks
burg trade for twelve years aud was
always very popular with our people.
For the last four years she has been
operating in the Vicksburg and Green
vile trade.

! This is the time when the seed cat
alog man gets i'm lis fine work. Soon
large part of the citizens of Tensas
will be enjoying his highly illustrated
publications. 1t makes the most citi-
fled man long for country life, to look
at these pictures of abundant vegeta-
| bles and luxuriant flowers.
Seed catalogs are sometimes called
works of Imagination. 1t is difficult
thing to grow vegetables and fruits
that will look like the specimens that
seed houses display as samples. But
the ripe specimens of any garden pro-
duct have beauty of their own. They
may not be as fair and rotund as the
specimens photographed or drawn for
the catalog. But Nature, that incOm-
parable painter, has touched them
with the magic of her own cOlorings
that no catalog cut can ever initiate.
Much might be written about the
beauty of a well tended vegetable gar
den. 1t has not the sunny and vivid
grace of plot of flowers. But there
is something wholesome, sustaining,
and invigorating i'm the sight of it In
its days of growth the verdant vines
and plants have their own homespun
beauty. They suggest the force of the
soil, the sustaining life of plant food,
and many of them have very lovely
color.
The purchase of seed is a matter
for very careful thought. The man
who gets up the handsomest catalog
with the most alluring pictures, does
not necessarily have the best stock
Seed should be bought as much as pos
sible with home dealers, who know
where it comes from.
! The merchants of this parish have
good stock of seeds, and all who are
fascinated by the seed catalog and the
prospect of spring gardens which it
suggests, can find their needs supplied
right here at home.
