the Episcopal church, has secured the
promise from Bishop Page to at once
remodel the parish house on Rudy
street and fit it up as a reading writ
ing and lounging room for the MEM
bers of the Students Army Training
Corps at the State College. The plan

can spend their leisure hours amid
pleasant surroundings.
The stage at the back end of the
large room will be taken out and a
fireplace constructed on the east
wall. A cloak room, with toilets nd
lavatory will be partitioned off on
the northwest corner. and the yestry
room in the church which opens off
the parish house. will be converted
into another retiring room with tot
let and lavatory A small kitchen
will be built on the south side of
the building The room will be
equipped with tables for writing,
stocked with stationery and ell
velopes; comfortable chairs Will be
provided and the whole room fitted
up to make a comfortable and
pleasant place where the young sol
diers can enjoy themselves when off
the campus. There is a demand for
just such a room and the Episcopal
church is making a valuable contri-
button to the welfare of The S. A r.

The Home Town Paper.
(By Edgar A. Guest.)

It's like smiling friendly face,
It's like a voice ) ou long have known.
You see it in some distant place
And rush to claim it for your own.
The paper from your old home town
Has bridged the long anddreary miles
And with it you can settle down
Among familiar tears and smiles
1t speaks for every friend you KNOW
1t tells of scenes you yearn to see;
1t brings hack joys of long ago
And tells of joys that are to be.
And as you run its columns DER
Youryesterdays come trooping back (;
You fancy you're at home once more,
And golden seem the letters black.
Its speech is one you understand,
1t tells of griefs that you can share,
1t brings you, in that foreign land,
Glad messages to Danish care.
There, among scenes and faces strange.
The old home paper seems to be
The faithful friend that doesn't change
A friend that you are glad to see.
l know not just what heaven is like,
Nor just what joys beyond life's tide
Await for me, when death shall strike
And l shall reach the other side
But this know when 1 have gone
To dwell in realms divinely fair.
My soul will yearn to look upon
The old home paper over there

Smile.

Smile and the world will betriend you,
Frown and you fight all alone;
Smile and your beds decked with roses
Frown and you sleep on stone.
Smile, you're bedecked with bright
jewels,
Frown and the glitter is gone;
Smile and the world is an Eden,
Frown and a tempest will dawn.
Smile and long years will endow YOU,
Frown and you're aged while in
youth:
Smile and then all will be beauty,
But frown and all is uncouth.
Smile when temptations assail you
And half of your fighting is done;
For smiles have won more great vic
tories
Than Mars has ever yet won.

You Can't Eat Your Cake And

Poach Your EggAnd
Eat the Hen Later.

Appreciation of this fact, the
poultry specialist of the United
States Department Of Agriculture
says, will add 10000, 900 eggs to
our food supply this year without
reducing our supply Of chicken
meat. Investigators have found
that because poultry brings2 2 oants
a pound more in winter than in
late spring, many farmers in the
south have been throwing away
valuable egg profits just to get 8
cents more per hen. They be.
lieve that if farmers will keep
their laying hens and sell their
eggs and then market the birds
in the late spring, they will not
only add to the food supply, but
actually increase their profits 30
cents per hen.

Annual Report OF Louisiana
Schools Made Public.

In comprehensive report show
ing the public school situation Of
Louisiana, State Superintendent
T. H. Harris made some interst.
ing statements which all patrons
and pupils would enjoy reading
and few Of them we call atten-
ton to below. Would give the
report more in detail except for
lack of space.
First, the gross receipts for the
session of 1916-'l7 were approxi-
mrtely S9,000.000. an increase of
about 100000 over the previous
session. Net expenditures $4,000
900. New schoolhouses to the
value of $1,000.000 erected.
Value of all public school pro.
perty in state now $15,000.COO.
The public schools employed /, 15l
men at an average salary of 1927.
90; 5,362 women teachers at an
average annual salary of S451.10.
Average annual salary of parish
superintendent was S1754.70.
White children enrolled in state
237, 1893 with an average atten-
dance of Is per cent.
The state made a splendid re-
cord in the consolidation of it's
small white schools.
There were something like $500
boys taking work in agricultural
classes and 10000 girls enrolled
in home econimics classes,
1915 children spelled the 500
words in last spelling test.
Mr.. Harris made some recon.
mendations for special legislation
on school matters at the next
general assembly, mainly relat.
ing to the finances of the schools
as they cannot continue to operate
on funds now available.

question is: a vegetable garden
a milk COW, a brood SOW, poul'
try flock, ample corn, oats, pea.
nuts, etc., and then as much cot
ton or tobacco as he can cultivate

1t is the highest demand of pat
riotism-it is the first requirement
of living-that in 1918 every state
every county, every neighborhood
every farmer, be as nearly self
sustaining as possible.
For the south to plunge on cot.
ton or tobacco or any other spec
ulative crop to depend upon the
corn belt for bread and meat will
be for the south to engage in a
gamble which may cause priva-
ton to its people and disaster to
the nation. For any man now to
determine his business operations
from the standpoint Of profit alone
without regard to the nation g
needs, is for him wilfully to prof.
iteer in the blood of his fellows
who are fighting in France for
preservation of the republic. No
man can be excused for not TAX
ing his share of the response
bility.
My whole life has been spent in
the south, l know the southern
farmer. He will do his duty as
he sees it. | am appealing to
every man in the south to make
known these facts-to consider it |
his business to make them known |
and I shall have no doubt of
the results. If they are not made
known in a way to impress the
crisis that confronts us, there
may be hunger in this bounteous
land or hunger over yonder in
Europe, where it will spell ruin
for all that is worth while in
