w OAST goose is to the Germans-or
was before the war-what roas5
4 y turkey is to the Americans. By.
@ ~ inc goose has become q rare bird
ir Germany under wa conditions. Before
H. war Russian Poland had been for tae
G elman markets the chief source o1 supply
2 the raw material, or lean geese Since
Poland was conquered the Germans have
been trying 10 pat the goose trade there
AGAIN upon It's feet; and at Berlin big
monopoly concern called the Goose Trading
Company was organized under government
auspices, with the object Of importing
geese FROM Poland and the other border
countries taken flom Russia.
This company st.nated that il would DC
able 10 import some 100000 TO Soooeo head
This autumn from those regions and had
made its plans accordingly, taking orders
right and left from cities hungry for roast
aoose. But the arrivals have proved most
Gisappointing. and the company has bean
compelled TO inform its prospective CHS
5oners that it cannot deliver the goods.
The trouble it is explained is not that
there are no geese to be had. but that the
maximum prices have been liked too low by
the War Food Board. The company IS al
lowed to pay only seventeen marks q head
and to sell al twenty marks. without REGARD
for the size of the birds But the growers
are able to sell to private traders at con-
.idelably higher prices; hence the Goose
Tradiar Company can pick up only The
refuse Of the market, small or very lean
birds.
Great hopes for roast goose were also
placed upon the Ukraine. but these, 100.
have been disappointed. There were pros
pects--so it was estimatod-of getting
100000 geese from the Ukraine, and

The following death notice, taken
from the columns of the Crowley Sig
nal, will be read with regret by many
friends of the family in this parish,
deceased being sister of Messrs. w.
ID. A. and Jos. G. Gorton of Water
proof:
On Wednesday morning, June 10th,
the soul Of Mrs. ]. F. Wynn, like
a beautiful candle that has burned
brightly and then quietly fiickers ont,
sped upward toward the Eternal Light
and the strongest tie that binds the
home was severed. A Christian moth
er and friend has gone beyond our
ken. But we know
That they never quite leave US, those who
have passed
A thousand memories are holding them fast
To the places they blessed with their pres
ence and love.
In the passing of this beautiful life,
one of the loveliest characters known
throughout this city has gone to re-
ceive the well-earned plaudit swell
done," for Mrs. Wynn's life was
known to all as one OF the sweetest,
purest and best. Although of modest
and retiring disposition, she was al
ways doing the things her hands
found ready, especially doing good to
the poor, who loved her, and who
never asked for help and went away
unaided.
Her life was, indeed, q constant
benediction to those associated with
her and the true nobility of soul was
constantly revealed.
Mrs. Wynn, as Paulina Gorton, was
the daughter Of Oliver Fuller and Jo-
seph Gorton, and was born in Nat
chez, Miss, In 1874.
On Christmas Day, 1852, at Water.
proof, La, she was married to Rev.
J. F. Wynn, a consecrated member
of the Louisiana Conference. To this
union eight children we're born, two
dying In infancy. Those surviving are:
Mrs. r. H. Hickey, Lafayette, La;
DR.. R. H. Wynn, Of Centenary Col
lege, Shreveport, La; ]. w. Wynn,
Rayne, L., and Misses Alice and
Mary Wynn, Crowley, La.
Mrs. Wynn, a. the wife OF q Meth
odist minister, proved q faithful and
earnest co-worker, remaining ever
thus.
After the approximation of Rev.
Wynn, the family moved to Crowley
In 1900, and made it their home.
The funeral service, conducted by
Rev. R. w. Tucker, was held at the
Methodist Church, South, the men,
bers of the board acting as pail bear
ers.
The choir softly sang, "In the
Christians Home in Glory" and
"There's Q Land That is Fairer Than
Day" and the scene was one which
carried with it glimpse of the
"Fsther's House," and death seemed
only . Transformation. Just Is the
evening shadows were falling upon .
wealth Of exquisite flowers, fond trib-
utes from loving friends, the last rites
were said 1T the cemetery, where
many had gathered.
The deepest sympathy is extended
the family but consolation comes
when this thought arises:
Out Of earth's WEAKNESS, trial and sorrow;
Out OF its cares and fears for the morrow;
Into the dawn of glad resurrection;
Into the house Of unbroken affection;
Into the Joy of Christ.

 He quotes a French general as saying that the Amercan spirit ahd entci prise at the critical moment has served to maintain the morale of the French troops in and around Chateau Thierry.
