Many of those in the audience
last night had seen it in the States

loud in their praise of it. 1t was
certainly the biggest attraction of
its kind ever seen by people of In

greeted a great many of the scenes
thrown on the screen during the
course of the play.
Special music, adapted to the play,
was rendered and added in no small
measure to the delight of the large
audience assembled there, and the
concensus of opinion of those who
saw it last night was that the play
was incomparably the very best that

FRANK ROTCH IS
NOW IN FRANCE
FIGHTING HUNS
Former Skipper of Midnight Sun
Is Now Navigating Rivers
In France.

Frank Rotch, Jr., former we'll
known Nenanaite and genial skipper
of the Alaskan Engineering commits
sion's gas boat Midnight Sun, is
now second lieutenant, serving in
the 57th Regiment of Engineers
On the last mail w. B. Raeburn,
superintendent of transportation, re-
ceived letter from Frank written
on board the transport Mongolia at
sea, but presumably in accordance
with army regulations, the letter was
not dated. The regiment to which
he belongs, the 57th Engineers and
which had been detailed to take over
the transportation on the canals and
rivers of France, had been camped at
Laurel, Maryland. They entrained
here for the port of embarkation and
on reaching it were sent on board
the transport Mongolia, the former
crack Pacific mail liner, which sailed
Immediately in company with other
vessels composing the convoy. The
first day the convoy was escorted
by large squadron of warships and
alrships and when we'll out to sea
all of the airships and most of the
warships turned back, after having
turned over the care of the convoy
to a strong squadron of destroyers
which they met out at sea.
l On the second day out they fell
in with another convoy, also sailing
under strong escort, and the two
conveys sailed in company all the
way across.
When few days out at sea con-
siderable excitement was caused when
the escorting cruiser which acted as
flagship for the escorting flotilla
of destroyers, dashed off ahead at
terrific speed and couple of the
destroyers also went off on a re-
connoitering cruise Presumably,
following instructions, the ships of
the convoy promptly scattered like
a covey of frightened quail, re-
assembling again and proceeding I'M
der escort as soon as the cruiser re-
turned and the excitement had died
down.
The camouflage ships, according
to Frank, are very queer sight
The purpose of the camouflaging,
he says, is not so much with a view
to make them invisible to a possible
enemy as it is to mislead them. Seen
in the light of early morning at sea,
camouflaged ship at a little dis
lance looks like several ships, but it
is impossible to say which way they
are going or how fast they are trav-
cling.
Frank thinks that, at the rate the
United States is sending men across
to France and the numbers leaving
at a time on the conveys, we will
soon have two or three million men
on the battlefront. He says they
had fine trip across and everybody
was feeling very fit and ready for
business.
He wishes to be remembered to all
his Nenana friends and hopes that
all of them will write to him and
give him all the news. He also says
he would like to get the Nenana

SAVE THE WHOLE CORN
PLANT THIS YEAR.

The man who merely breaks
his corn in the old-fashioned way,
leaving the stalk and leaves in the
field. is leaving unused full ~ per
cent of the feed value of his crop.
Yet this practice is still the Gus
tom On at least go per cent of tn"
farms of the Cotton Belt.
The acreage planted to corn il,
the South this year is little less
than last, and the recent severe
drouth has made it practically GER
tain that there will be a smaller
corn crop than last year. The dry
weather has also made short hay
crop more than probable. N
other words, we are facing feed
shortage, and this, too, at a time
when every man should do his ut
most to produce on his own farm
all the feeds needed.
Happily, there are some things
that may yet be done that will
help to solve this feed problem,
and one Of these is to save the
whole corn plant, instead of just
the ears. While of course corn
slower is not so good a feed as
good hay. it is far better than no
hay at all. In fact. as a rough
feed for wintering idle animals,
it is of great value. Nor is there
anything to the oft-made claim
that the Southern climate is too
wet to shock and cure corn slower
successfully. The latter half OF
August and ali Of September and
October are USUALLY drv-ideaEy
suited to curing rough feeds.
This year, with a shortage OF
both concentrates and rough
feeds in prospect, it is little short

On Wednesday afternoon the
members Of the School Board met
at the call of Mr.. J. E. Verret,
the president of the Board for the
purpose of electing a Superintend-
ent of Education and the transac-

Il. r. lilly was unanimously
elected Parish Superintendent,
there being no other apple atoms
presented to the Board for ballot.
Mr.. lilly is a trained teacher and
for a number of years was the
principal of the Jeanerette High

teemed. We sincerely believe he
will make good in the position
which has been given him by the

he will have the moral support
Of every one sitting on this I'M

the good will be felt among the
patrons Of the schools throughout
the Parish. There is no doubt
but what an active superintendent
by getting in touch with the coun-
try element can do great deal in
increasing the enrolment Of the
public school attendants. In a
great many cases there is a great
indifference among certain peo-
pie who do not appreciate the i'm
portance Of sending their chill

change for the better can be ac-
complished by getting in direct
touch with parents who do not ap-
preciate the Importance Of educat-

justify, educational
meetings should be held in every
