MORE WAYS OF SAVING.

As it becomes pecessary to meet the many problems in connection with the furnishing of supplies to cur army and navy in Europe efficiency is being given an opportunity to demonstrate itself and this is being done in many directions. What promises ;n be an especially important development in this line is the move which is being made to decrease the amount of space now required for shipping fresh beef not only to our forces but to all the allied countries.
 Cargo space is one of the great needs in connection with transporta- ton and it will be until the ship short age is overcome and when it Is re- Alized that there are about a third of

OTHER VIEW POINTS

Uncle Sam needs good roads more than ever before to carry on transper- tation. Liberty trucks are drlEen 4lo4n factories to seaports. Material for war work is transported between towns and cities by motor trucks covering
 hundreds of miles each day. Full speed ahead is the thought in the mind of every man who is getting out war material and anxious to win the war. Merchants throughout the country are getting their supplies by motor trucks and in that way relieving the railroads of every possible burden. To eliminate delays of the great truck trains there

IMPOSSIBLE TO STOP ADVANCE,

In spite of the fact that the allied armies have been engaged in hard fighting for the past two months, dur ing which time they have covered much ground and been forced to take care of the large task of moving for ward supplies and big guns, there is no indication of any let up in their activities All along the line from Belgium to Switzerland the allied forces are on their tiptoes poised for stronger and more telling blows, and from Albania to Bulgaria, in Paies- tine and in Russia they are in1icting losses on the enemy which are not only bringing back into allied control the territory which was taken . in the drives of the central powers but there Is being taken much Turk ish territory and invariably in each instance wherever there Is test of arms with the bolsheviki the allied forces are victorious.
 Thus progress which must be re- gsrded as highly satisfactory is being made by the armies under the difec- ton of General Foch. It appears to be only question of time before St Quentin and possibly Camprai in the .Hindenburg line must fall before the hard and persistent pressure which the British and French are bringing 70 bear upon them. Slowly are these points, especially. the formss, being enveloped and when St. Quentin is taken it viii mean that another re. treat over a wide section Of the Ger. man front must be made for the allies will then be in a much more favor. ahle position for striking ct Laon and pressing on to Cambrai from thu south.

DEATH OF MRS. S. D. FARRAR.

Mrs. Ella Isabel Farrar, relict of the
late Mr.. s. Duncan Farrsr, died ct
10 O'Clock, Monday night, at the home
of her son, s. Duncan Farrar, on "Hol-
lywood" plantation, aged about 60
years. Her remains were taken to
Natchez for interment and laid to rest
beside her husband and son, Cordill
Farrar, who preceded her to the grave
some years ago.
Mrs. Farrar came to Tensas parish
from Mississippi with her husband
over thirty years ago and lived on
"Kenilworth" plantation, which Mr..
Farrar acquired. After his death she
made her home with her son on "Hol-
lywood". Deceased had been an in
valid for number OF years before her
death and required constant care. In
all her affection she received the low
ing attention of an affectionate and
dutiful son and his good wife, who
never tired of administering to her
wants.
All through her long and useful life
she was ever kind and generous, q
good wife and devoted mother. A de-
vout christian, she practiced the teach
ings of her religion in her daily walks
and made her fireside cheerful and
happy for those about her; indeed her
home was her paradise and she was
always happiest when extending well
come to friends. In her passing good
woman has gone, useful life has been
spent. Her son will find comfort in
the memory of her virtues, and his
sorrow is shared by those who knew
and loved his mother.

The 81. Joseph Chapter, A. r. c., is
in receiu' of The following letter which
is deserving Of careful attention by all
knitters:
New Orleans, Feb. Z, 1918.
American Red Cross,
st. Joseph, La.
wish to3rknowledge receipt of Y our
shipment Of knitted articles, contain
ing the following:
One helmet, seven pair wrstlets, two
pair socks, eleven sweaters.
Our Committee reports that the
workmanship on the above articles
was exceedingly well done. A helmet,
however, was much too large. Have
your knitters use No. z needles for
helmets if they make them as long AS
this.
The sweaters were very well made
However, one was overly large. This
was probably due to the fact that the
needles used in the making were larger
than our specifications call for. One
sweater was too narrow. When you
find that, as i'm this case, an individual
knits unusually tight, it would be a
good idea for you to suggest that they
either add few more stitches, or use
larger needles.
Another shipment of knitted articles
from your Chapter was opened, and
examined by cur Inspection Commit
tee on February 5th. This shipment
contained the following:
Twelve sweaters, fourteen pr. socks,
seven pr. wristlets, three helmets.
The Committee reports that the
above articles were well made, es-
pecially the wristlets and helmets.
However, one sweater was little too
large, and the toes of the seeks not
finished according to specifications.
Otherwise the socks were we'll made.
l can assure you of our interest in
your work, and of our appreciation OF
your hearty corporation.
Very trulysyOurs,

THE FILIPINO

Quickening Desire to Be
His Own Boss"

"You can't hustle the east" Maybe
you can't. but right here i'll the Philip
pines we are having a pretty fair imi-
tation OF it, says the Philippines Free
Press.
Ten or IL years g when you mem
toned business" to a Filipino it was
apt to bring a look of disdain or dis
gust. and, among the Filipino news
papers. the word was used as a term
Of Yankee r%eproach.
However. though the pyramids still
stand and the Sphinx still gaZes with
eternal lids apart" adown the endless
vista of the years, the times do change
Filipino of those old empire days"
who had all the contempt for the
American business man that Napoleon
had for the nation of s~hopkeepers
across the channel, is falling into line
and gong after the almighty dollar or
it's peso equivalent. Scarcely a day
passes but some new corporation Ia
registered with Filipino capital behind
it. And all W the islands anew spirit
seems to be manifesting itself. Organ
ization n Incorporation are the order
of the day and the word is going forth
that the F%ilipinos must possess the IN
which their forefathers left them.
Fol this spirit the Filipinos have the
Americans here largely to thank. In
stead of lulling to sleep any aspirations
h Filipino people might havS coward
business enterprises. the Americans
have urged and prodded and pleaded
with them to go into business and Sc
cure their proper a of 1T, instead OF
letting their interest go by default.
nj now the Americans are glad TO see
the Filipino people waking up and con-
corning themselves about material at
fairs and the fuller development of the
and the industries of the
country. There may be competition
and close competition. but such 10 the
normal state of trade and to be reck-
oned with anywhere. And all the
American asks here is what he freely
grants in his own country-a fair field
and no favor.
For the present. we are witnessing
the first feverish beginnings of what
may be called the economic era of the
Filipino people. Nor is it without it's
dangers. For one thing, there is the
certainty of some mushroom enter
prises s%pringing up, after the manner
of Jonah's gourd, which withered be-
tween two nights. There is also the
danger of many persons being carried
away by the attendant excitement n
the hope of getting rich quick. an in-
trinity which Is very contagious.
These are days of change. The world
is moving fast. Old notions and old
proverbs and old axioms are going by
the board. And with them. apparently,
the legend that you can't hustle the
east" We are standing on the threshold
of q new era.
