MARRIAGE RY coMPuLsloN.

Germany Is determined to repair its
loss in man power due to the war in
every way possible, and commission
erected for the purpose proposes com.
pulsory marriage for all persons at
twenty with state aid where needed
Also childless married persons are to
be punished, these and other plans be.
ing formed In the hope that they will
restore the losses In battle. Germany
does everything according to some
rule, but she will find 1t trife difficult
to reverse any of the laws of nature.
There seems little necessity for any
thing of the sort outside the proposal
to aid persons to marry. 1t Is univer-
sal experience that after every war
there is a great jump In the birth rate
of male children. This occurred in
France after the Napoleonic wars, but
one unfortunate result was to reduce
the average stature of men by one inch.
much perturbed over what Germany is
going to do, fearing that similar ideas
may be acted on here, says Philadel-

plants Is against dealing with the COM
ing babies ION the basis of the horse
breeders stable" 1t is a rather un-
fortunate expression. All eugenics Of
the professional sort, and nearly all
sensible persons, are of the opinion
that we should do well to copy animal
breeding in some respects. We should
pay more attention to the health and
comfort of those about to marry and
to this we shall come in time, even IL
more legal regulation may be neces-
sary.

SOME OBSERVATIONS

Hungary purposes henceforth tt

dictates of it's own conscience.
Former German Ambassador tt
the United States (Bernstorff
having reached Berlin repeated
has old inquiry, "Where do we gc
from here2''
We wonder if the Kaiser's si1
sons were with papa or in the de
serters' parade in Berlin.
Maybe the Kaiser's abdicatior
is as big a fraud as his solid gold
yachting cup turned out to be.
And what is going to become
of all those thrones the Kaiser had
told his sons and other relatives
to go and sit on.
Well, Lafayette, it is partly
done.
On days in which there is no
specific war work or war relief

CAN NOW TAKE
N. o. G. N. AT
SLIDELL

Citizens and visitors to Slidell will
now be able to take any train going
out of that place at the Slidell de-
pot. Heretofore the New Orleans
Great Northern was not available for
that purpose. No matter how urg-
ent the necessity, travellers have to
stand by and see regular passenger
trains pull out fromTthis depot and
wait for the N. O. & N. E. to come
along and pick them up. The N. 0.
G. N. had no objections to taking
these passengers, but claimed their
contract with the N. o. & N. E. for
bade them doing so.
Finally the town of Slidell put the
matter before the Railroad Commis-
sion and won the decision. The rail-
road company enjoined the proceed
ings and appealed to the court.
Pending the trial of this the Gov
ernment took over the railroads. Re
Gently Assistant Attorney General w.
NJ. Barrow and Attorney Arthur l..
Bear, of Covington, took the matter
to the Federal authorities at Atlanta
and have secured a ruling compelling
the New Orleans Great Northern to
accept passengers at Slidell over this
line.
This does away with the annoy
ance of waiting over or gong to
North Slidell to take trains. 1t will
also avoid the delay at North Sl1dell

A SUCCESSFUL
UP.TO-DATE
FARM

Provost Island-Leaving st. Joe,
the way lies through splendid pine
forest, good hard road. and then on
through stately oaks with clinging
moss, lights and shades always a
cool spot on the hottest day, passing
from swamp to a magnificent pecan
grove of over 5000 trees. Grow
ing between the trees and over other
parts, intensive cultivation is the Or
der of the day, and oats, corn, vel
vet beans are seen in all stages of
growth, and at the proper time har-
vested by five hundred head of we'll
bred hogs. The place is owned by
Messrs. Geoghagan, OF New Orleans.
Mr.. George Ciko is manager, and he
seems to have thorough knowledge
of hog raising. All the herd have
been inoculated by the simultaneous
treatment, which renders the hog i'm
mune for life from cholera. Labor
shortage is felt very keenly here, as
in other places, and crops are grown
that the hogs can gather, with home
made self-feeders, running water,
oiled bathing places, and above all
water transportation. A short run OF
four hours will place the farm pro-
duct in New Orleans, and less by
rail north. There is in addition
some five or six hundred fine, healthy
chickens in all stages Of growth, five
hundred laying hens, five hundred
goats and a fine stock OF cattle.
Mosquitoes are very bad at times,
but the stock are protected by screen
ed quarters, have plenty OF good hay,
etc. Every kind of up-to-date farm
ing implement is here from the cat
erpilar tractor that roots up trees
and stumps to the small walking
plow.
Cultivation among the pecan trees
REQUIRES careful work and it is very
questionable II the growing OF crops
like oats do not injure the trees
There are few crops that take more
plant food from the soil than oats,
and nothing is better for the trees
than legumes, particularly COW peas
The writer has seen such splendid re-
suits from growing cow peas In a
pecan grove and 1t is pity that II
is not more widely practiced. There
must be over $50 acres in food crops
and it looks like a successful busi'
ness proposition and may we have
more farms like this in TIE parish.

In view of the above facts, mere
by request thoes persons, IN the state
of Louisiana, who must have coal
next winter, to order 1t now for early
