The Shlp-Builders.

Readers of the Banner are reminded
that total of 1000 men are wanted
out of Louisiana for service in the Gov
ernment's shiD-building forces. The
Shir-Ruilding Committee of the Louis
lana State Council Of Defense has I'M
dertaken to enlist this number Of men
from the state for service in that
branch of the government work. The
responses have been general, here and
there. and we have learned of few
residents Of Bossier Parish volunteer
ing their services. But still more men
are needed to fill out the quota. Those
who are competent should bear in
mind that the ship-builders are well
paid and that their compensation is
sure to come. Also, the eight-hOur day
ruling is observed and those accepted
for the service are. when possible,
given employment at ship-yards near
est their homes. The services Of any
and all persons skilled iii any branch
of ship-building are dseired. Those de
string to enter the service may apply
to the recruiting station in Shreveport,
or may take the matter up by mail
with the Secretary for the committee

Wives as Waqe Farmers.

More than one-tenth Of the married
women Of the United States were en-
gagged in gainful occupations in 1910,
according to figures recently given out
by the bureau of the census, and over
rs per cent Of all women sixteen
years old or over were wage earners,
business women, etc. Since 1910 the
per tcentages undoubtedly have in
creased rather than diminished, for
the tendency Of women in this coun-
try has been toward greater economic
freedom for many years. In 1900. the
number of married women in gainful
occupations was only 100000, while in
1910 it was 1,S9O,O0o, says Popular Me
chanics. The statistics referred to
show that the proportion of women
married, single and widowed-who are
earning their living Is greater than
ever before, but it is particularly in
teresting to find that Of all the groups
cited, the proportionate increase In
the number of married women is the
greatest.

Rescue Grass.

Dear Editor: In answer to your

some Of the seed to Nick NJ. Marks, ST.,
who resided at Forest Home. about 1 y
miles west of the Orchard. Mr.. Marks
planted the seed in his peach orchard.

ground. All you had to do was to plow
the ground and the grass grew thicker
every year. 1t was only necessary to
save seed and replant every five years.

Plant Lefumes.

From the Lake Charles American Press
In the first place, a leguninous plant
Is one that collects nitrogen from the
atmosphere and stores it in the ground.
so far only Il limited number of legu-
minOuS plants are known. 1t is one of
the wise provisions of Providence in
returning to the soil the substance that
Is continually taken from it when the
land is cultivated continuously.
Among the common leguminOus
plants in this country we might nell
ton the pea, peanut, velvet bean. soy
iean and Il few others. The most COM
mon is the pea and peanut. These two
legumes will grow almost anywhere
and at the same time bring remunera-
tive returns to the farmer or gardener.
On the sandy urlandS Of East Texas
the last thing that the progressive
farmer does in laying his corn by in
the summer is to plant whippoorwiIl
peas. row by row. among the corn
In due time the pea vines cover the
field until the corn, then ripe in the
ear. could hardly be seen. producing Il
great crop Of peas and pea vines, val
liable as food for man and beast. and
at the same time making the land
richer and better. As Il soil enriclling
crop it is probable that nothing has
been found that will take the place of
the ordinary pea.
All the legunles do well in the Lake
Charles country and all should be
planted regularly in order to supply
food and at the same time keep the
land from deteriorating i'll soil fer
tility. Land or soil conservation IL
the Keystone to success and practical
farming. and one Of the ways to con-
serve is by planting to legumes.

Hunters Moon.

The hunters moon is waning, but
there has been very little service for
It during the month, except for lovers,
says the Columbus CO., State Journal.
The game question is pretty near
solved. It is so different from the old
days, when a man could take his shot
gun and go out to the woods and bring
in bag of squirrels and birds in few
hours-enough for the. family and a
neighbor or two. Then he asked no
favors of the moon. The game was
plenty and the days were long in the
good old time. In those days we had
pigeon pie and squirrel pie and we
didn't want the moon to put itself out
Of the way on our account. In these
days the hunters moon is beautiful
sentiment, but it makes no pie. How
shy she was lest week, when coquet-
ing with Jupiter for an evening or two.
and then slipped of to the cast and re-
fused to return.

An Old Mans Stomach

As we grow older and less ac- tive, less and less food is requir- ed to meet the demands of our bodies. If too much is habituaI- ly taken. the stomach will rebel. When a man reaches the ad- vanced age of 85 or 90, you will find that he is light eater. Be as careful as you will. however, you will occasionally eat more than you should and will feel the need of Chamberlain's Tablets to correct the disorder. These tablets do not contain pepsin, but strengthen the stomach and enable it to perform it's func- tions naturally. They also cause a gentle movement of the bowels. .-ady.
