Editor st. Tammany Farmer:
Conservation is a good word, but
how few of us really do anything to
hep the other man. A few yards
from my frotn gate sheep was
torn to pieces last Sunday by stray
dogs. Some time last night COW
was pulled down in Ai5ita-stray
dogs! Is it not time that something
was done to protect one Of our most
promising industries? l feel sure
that no sheep owner would want to
deprive man of good dog, used
for hunting, watching, etc. but he
is taxed for his sheep and cattle,
why not tax the dog? The schools
would get the money and they sure
need it.. II it is the law why not
enforce it? No one would object to
paying s1.00 a year for each dog.
and it would help to kill off lot Of
worthless ours that are misery to
themselves and every one else.
Standing at the corner Of Wash
ington and st. Charles streets, in
New Orleans, the other day, | saw

thirty dogs of all breeds, caught in
the morning and were being taken
to the pound. 1t would be real
stroke of business if we had "a dog
wagon here and rounded up all the
worthless ours, and help to protect
cur sheep and wool industry. Not
speaking of the dollars and cents,
but looking at it from humanitari-
an point of view, it would be better
for the starving dogs to get rid OF
themsfnnd prevent untold suffering
of sheep.
The sheep industry brings in out
side money, and that circulates
among the community. We al share
it one way or another, and when we
help the other fellows business we
are helping our own, and last, but
not least, helping our Uncle Sam to
win the war by providing wool to
clothe our sons at the front.
Get rid of the tick and get rid OF
the worthless dog!

Several of the corn club members
who were successful in raising a
good corn crop, Notwithstanding the
awful external conditions they had to
put up with, are having no trouble
in disposing of their surplus seed
corn. Club Agent Bachemin has
closed a contract with the Lehman's
Seed Store, Of Baton Rouge, to fur
nish them with 100 bushels of Cal
houn Red Cob seed corn, at $500
per bushel. to deliver so bushels
within 80 days, and the remaining
so bushels within so days.
This proves conclusively that the
new members in the various club
projects shaft have no trouble in dis
posing OF their products, as the de-
mand will double itself between the
period covered by the coming
months. Wake up, club members.
and show everybody what you can
produce and we will show you how
to top the market with fancy prices
for your products.

STOLEN COAT IS
RECOVEREDBY
MISS SMITH

While Miss Gladys Smith was pass
ing near the postoftice Wednesday
afternoon she looked across the
street just in time to recognize a
red and-lolack woolen coat that she
had made with her own hands and
was so familiar with that she
could net be mistaken. It was a
coat that had been stolen from her
at the parish fair last fall. She hur-
ried into the postoffice- and asked
where she could find an officer TO
arrest the wearer She Was direct
ed to the courthouse across the street
and on her way there met Attorney
F. j. Heintz, Juvenile officer, = who
made the arrest. The wearer was a
co,ored girl. who said that she had
bought the coat for $3.50 from Jack
Bailey, negro who lis of 1hady char
acter and who was one of the three
negroes shot by Pinky Williams a
year or so ago. Bailey is now liy-
ing in Bogalusa. An affidavit was
made out against the colored girl,
who gave her name as Josephine
Scott, and she will be held as wit
ness against Bailey whose arrest has
been ordered. The papers We're
made out before Judge Pechon. The
girls mother went her bond.
At the same time this coat was
sto.eneMr. C. E. Schonberg had fine
overcoat, a pair of gloves and silk
mufler stolen from him at the fair
grounds. 1t. is thought that Bailey
may have taken this also.

DON'T SEND FOOD TO SOLDIERS

The National Council of Defense
desires to inform the peotle of the
country that abundant food is sup
piled to the soldiers and sailors in
the camps and cantonments. and that
the sending of fod to these men by
their friends and families is not in
any respect necessary; that the ag-
gregate quantity of food thus pri-
vate.y sent is enormous, and that
much of 1t. having been conveyed
long distances, in heated express or
mail cars, is more or less spoiled.
and consequently injurious to the
health of the men. Therefore, in the
interest of the conservation of food.
and also in the interest OF the health
of the men, the Council of Defense
requests the public to discontinue
tho sending OF foodstuffs to the men
in the camps.

w. .P.U. Elects New
Executive Board
and Officers.

There was a meeting Of the Wo-
mems Progressive Union at the
Chamber of Commerce rooms Wed
nesday afternoon and the following
officers and executive hoard were
elected:
Mrs. A. l.. Bear, president; Miss
Kate Eastman, first vice president;
Mrs. f. TerreIbonne, second vice pres
ident; Mrs. G. Lansing, recording
secretary; Mrs. E. G. Davis, cores
ponding secretary; Mrs. L. l.. MOI
gan, treasurer; Mrs. Jos. Schuyler
and Mrs. j. C. Burns, auditors:
Executive Board.
Mrs. H. H. Smith. Mrs. E. r. Mos
es, Mrs. Jas MullaHy.
1t will be notice that there has
been quite a change in the official
and executive personnel OF the as
sociation. The old-time leaders have
made way to new workers. The past
of the association records many ac-
complishments that have been valu-
able to the community. Those who
are now entering upon the difficult
work OF doing things in the upbuild-
ing of community interests, added
to the work entailed in connection
with war necessities and duties. will
no doubt be inspired with the hope
Of accomplishment and supported by
the vigor and energy OF that hope.
Mrs. Bear has shown ability and
willingness to work, and as the head
of the association may be expected to
bring good results. There are other
good workers among the new officers
and executives, and the future OF
the Women's Progressive Union
should reflect the excellent wUk OF
the past.

AMERICANS TO ITALY.
Fighting Troops Now Arriving On
New Front.

With the American Army on the
Italian Front, July 27.-American
fighting troops are now on the Ital-
ian front. They began arriving this
morning. They are being billeted
with the Italians.
Heretofore the only combatant
American troops we're aviators, and
the appearance of this large body of
the fighting men from the United
States at the peresent moment has
occasioned the greatest sensation.
Maj. Gen. Eben Swift of the Ameri-
can military mission to Italy was the
first to greet the newly arrived
Americans. He had already made
arrangements for their comfort. The
Italians greeted them with enthusi-
asm and rejoiced at the splendid
physical condition which the Ameri-
can soldiers showed. The Italians
appeared greatly astonished when
the overseas men Immediately sought
out a bathing place and then start
ed several games of baseball.

Significance of the Iron Cross.

"Get the man with the medals
he's the morale!" That is the ad-
vice of military experts, to be fol-
lowed in charge or hand-to-hand en-
counter.
The chap with scrap in his heart
and his heart in the scrap is the one.
He wears the medals because he
pedals toward, not away from the
enemy.
He's a a.bracer, set-the-pacer for the
rest. He provides an example that's
ample to shame and reclaim the grit
of the craven who wallows in fear
and follows in trepidation. -
His courage keeps the others from
creeping and seeping out through
their heels.
Commanders know it, which &C
counts for the plentitude of Iron
Crosses. Medal awards for anything
that can be construed bravery are
an inexpensive salve to content Fritz
with his slavery in the uniform.
No matter how half-baked or all
faxed the deed of valor that put that
decoration on the Boche breast, it in
fluences his fellows.
Though the crown prince gets his
chunk of iron for suffering the priva-
ton of no bath in two days, while a
beastly burgomaster in billet has a
medal pinned on for taking one at the
risk of scrubbing loose in his hide
with a months accumulated trench
filth
1t is well to single out the medal
wearer for shot or blow to reach the
vitals of the enemy morale.
Hun courage will be exhausted be-
fore diminished mineral resources
cause scarcity of iron for crosses

Banquet Spoiled by Cod Liver Oil

The Allied diplomatic colony in
Rumania will long remember the ar
rival in Jassy last winter Of a large
shipment of hospital and medical
supplies from the United States. The
shipment was long delayed on the
way, and when it arrived one of the
Allied ministers insisted on celebrat-
ing it's arrival by a dinner, as elabor-
ate as dinners could be under eX-
listing circumstances.
After the arrangements for the
dinner had all been carefully work
ed out by the minister who was act
as host it was found that there
V q. not an ounce of olive oil to be
obtained in Jassy. At the urgent
solicitation of the minister, the
chairman of the American Red Cross
mission agreed to remedy the de-
fciency. Accordingly written Or
der was given authorizing the min
lister to withdraw one quart of olive
oil from the supplies which had just
arrived from New York.
The minister sent his orderly to
the Red Cross warehouse with the
requisition and the courteous sup
erintendent of the warehouse handed
the orderly a quart bottle and took
areceipt in the customary form.
The same evening the dinner took
place, with twenty-five guests, repre-
senting all the important States in
then Entente Alliance. The host,
proud of his achievement in securing
real olive oil for the occasion, bao
arranged a menu in which every disfs
contained oil as an ingredient.
It is, perhaps, better not to go into
detail regarding the denouement. Suf'
flee it to say that there was not a
single dish of which anyone was able
to take more than a mouthful. From
beginning to end everything was fla
vored with penetrating taste which
the American minister declared was
that of fish-glue.
Everybody accused the Red Cross
chairman of attempting bad practi-
cal joke, but he was as much at sea
as anybody else, and could only
promise that the matter would be
investigated on the morrow.
A short talk between the Red Cross
chairman and the superintendent OF
the warehouse next day solved the
mystery. What the warehouse man
thought was olive oil turned out to
be full-favored Norwegian cod liver
oil, which had been shipped for the
use of the American doctors in treat
ing Rumanian refugees.
International complications were
only avoided by the circulation of an
elaborate explanation, which had to
be translated into seven languages in
order to reach all the guests who had
been offended by the dinner develop
ments.
