ENFORCE SUNDAY CLOSING

As a conservation measure for the
saving of man-power, fuel and food,
the people of Tennessee are urged
to rigidly observe all Sunday closing
laws which may be upon the stat
Utes of the state or several munich
palities. This appeal is signed by
Maj. Rutledge Smith, chairman of the
council of defense, w. E, Myer, U. S.
fuel administrator for the state, and
DIR. H. A. Morgan, U. S. food admin
istrator for Tennessee.
without committing our organiza-
tions to the wisdom or necessity for
such laws in times of peace" says
the appeal, 1--WE do believe that the
rigid enforcement of all Sunday clos
ing laws now will materially contrib
ute to the success of the nations
war program. A
"In some sections Sunday closing
laws have been rather indefinitely OBJ
served, while others have almost
been forgotten. This appeal is for
real Sunday closing with conserva-
ton the object"

The brewing plants of the United
States close by order Of President
Wilson December l, and the distill-
ers' plants ceased to manufacture
whiskey September, 1917. To con-
tinue the fight would be a heavy fl
nancial charge upon them which they
are unwilling to meet, especially when
all indications are that the Federal
prohibition amendment will be rati-
fled by the required SO states, says
the Nashville Banner. In their atti-
tude they show a wisdom with which
they have not heretofore been credit
ed. It is the inevitable that they
are up. against and to go further
would be folly.

Figures do not always tell the
whole truth, but they may serve a
useful purpose in endeavoring to
reach an approximation.
Louisiana is said to have at least
100000 acres Of arabic or eultivable
land. II we should figure farm
holding at $50 acres, this would give
the state approximately $3.50 farms
Of $50 acres each. If only one brood
sow should be added to each farm, it
would give an increase of $3.50
sows. If each SOW should farrow an
average Of Ave pigs at litter twice
a year. 1t would give an increase Of
333,500 pigs, which, at the average
weight Of 100 pounds each, would give
33,350,000 pounds of pork. But II only
half of the pigs, representing the male
progeny, should be turned into pork,
and the SOW pigs kept for breeding
purposes, it would still give 1855, 900
pounds of pork at 100 pounds per pig.
Just think what contribution
Louisiana could make in very short
time, to the urgent demands of our
allies for pork, products, If only one
sow should be added to each $50
acres of the cultivable land in the
state.
OF course 1t is not possible to Sc
cure 100 per cent success on calcu
lation of this kind, as there are nu-
merous factors that would arise to
prevent its accomplishment. But the
figures are near enough, and impress
sive' enough. to warrant attention
being drawn to the subject at this
time, when the importance of food
seems to overshadow almost every
thing else connected with the war and
Its successful termination. Our farm
ers should give some serious thought
to this matter.-W H. Dalrymple,

ucts during the next three months
will be 100000, 900 pounds per month,
az compared to 100000 pounds in
pre-war times. And to accomplish
this he estimates It will require a saw
Ing Of at least Is. per cent in these
products.

should Louisiana contribute toward

Mere Food Demonstrations This Week.

The initial food demonstration by
Miss Baird, our county agent for three
was given at Odd Fellows
hall last Friday, and was certainly q
success, the only difficulty being Al
most too man. people. Not all were
able to see and hear well. It is . little
difficult for the committee in charge to
estimate the probable attendance at
one of these demonstrations.
The enthusiasm of those who got the
whole demonstration has convinced the
committee that it should be repeated,
but to smaller groups. Therefore ar
rangements are being made to have
demonstration in the First Ward school
building next Friday at three o'clock,
and in the Public Library Saturds, af-
ternoon Ut the same hour.
Wheat and sugar saving will again
be the subject, but not the same re-
cipes rs were given last week.

The Primary Election.

The primary election on Monday
caused but little interest, there being
no contests among the democrats, and
only two contests on the republican
ticket of any general interest.
&C. w. Reed won the senatorial nomi-
nation by only 36 over Spau'ding, and
will be opposed to CA. Meyer of Cal
mar the democratic nominee. Reed
received 633 votes in Winneshiek and
30S in Howard, Spaulding 6l9 in Win
neshiek and 286 in Howard, and MUIR
tha 3O7 in Winneshiek and 158 in
Howard.
G. N. Haugen is nominated for con-
gress in this district by plurality of
probably 5000 over Shaffer. his closest
opponent, the latter carrying but one
county, Chickssaw, of which he is .
resident. Enger ran . poor third and
failed to carry even his own county,
Winneshiek. -,- -.
For district judge, the total vote for
the candidates is as follows: Houck
1852, Springer 55ls, Taylor s75s. All
three names will appear OF the ballot
at the general election next fall but as
all are republicans they will not oc-
cupy much attention from the demo-
cratic voters. ,,
The nomination of Haugen was gen.
orally expected, and it will require
strenuous work to defeat him in the
general election, even though his op-
ponent, Joe Campbell of Charles City,
be in every way fitted for and worthy
of the job. The willy Gilbert has play
ed his cards well, and will have practi-
cally the united support of the Nor
.wegians, the Germans and German
sympathizers, and the hide-bound re-
publicans who never will desert their
ticket to vote for q democrat. O.,
