YANKEE JOKE ON BOOBIES WITH AN
 AMERICAN CLOCK

WITH THE ARMY IN FRANCE. How an American alarm clocl kept the whole German line guess ing and caused the Germans use less expenditure of large Quantities of machine gun and rife ammuni- tion all one night was related to day.
 The Americans had been trying for some time to draw the fire O. certain enemy units.
 Leave Fritz to me- said a hap. py-faced young American, who, put ting an alarm clock under his arm disappeared into No Mans Lan6 under cover of darkness and fas- tened the clock to a wire
 Soon the alarm rang, whereupor the Germans opened fire The wire had been so arranged that the clock continued to ring internationally and each time drew a violent fire from the enemy. Meanwhile, the Americans rested in their trenches and enjoyed hearty laugh
 i An American officer turned the tables nicely on the enemy recent ly. The Germans had retired dur. ing bombardment to concrete dug outs behind their trenches, leaving the first three lines to one man, whc went around setting off flares, SC as to create the impression that the whole front was alive with Ger mans. An American patrol leader went over and discovered the rusel He killed the one German. invaded the trenches and gathered doZenf of street signs which the Germans had posted, returning to his own lines wit the signs tucked under his arm.

.>TRAP m1 TaI
 and % W1 FIELD EA.

Shotguns are being used effective ly in this, the greatest of all wars. The victory of the American troops at Seicheprey April 20 was due to the fighting ability of the Americans and the effectiveness of the trench gun. This shotgun sprays an area nine feet wide and three feet high, and will perforate a two-inch board at 100 yards. The spray of lead was something the Germans had not counted on. The thicker the Ger mans were massed the easier it was to bring them down.
 Our great home guard of trap and field shooters must have experienced a thrill of pride when, on recent occasion, dispatches from lover there told how the chokebore had gone lover the top and given wonder full and deadly account of itself.
 Nobly the trapshooting lived up to it's title, "The Patriotic Sport" for from a harmless, clean and invigor ating pastime it can at once be con- Verted Into an appalling factor oi destruction which, backed by Ameri- can determination and whitening ac- curary, becomes a creature for the most cocksure and fanatical despot to conjure with.
 From time to time the trap shoot CTS of the United States have heard vague rumOrs of some more or less authentic stories of the important part the shotgun was playing in the training of our boys in certain can tonments. How they were being taught by experts to break flying targets and otherwise becoming ia miliar with weapon that would shoot where they looked' with a rapidity of execution which could be accomplished with no other type of gun. And hearing these stories, the trapshooter who, perforce of years is compelled to remain at home has contented himself with a play ot imagination which pictured each tar get an enemy and increased his score accordingly.

PASSPORT BUREAU APPRECIATED BY
 THE AMERICANS

PARIS, June -(Correspondenc of The Associated Press) .-Ameri- cans residing in Paris or passing through the city on their way to and from America or other coun tries will appreciate the new pass- port bureau which has just been es tablshed at No. 6S rue Pierre Char ron.
 The work incidental to the grant
 ing, visaeing and the making out os applications for passports from the Department of State has become so .-reat that Ambassador Sharp and Consul General Thackara decided that it should be united in one of- flee. Thus the staff of the Embassy attached to the passport department md that of the Consulate General which looked after the same work were detached from the Embassy and Consulate quarters were en- gagged on the rue Pierre Charron. Americans will not have to travel to the embassy CT the consulate In the future but, by calling at the rue Pierre Charron, will receive at. tention, and be enabled to proceed on their journey without delay, providing their papers are in or der

This year, owing to the success of the Euphrates irrigating scheme, the supplies from the Flu pirates side will be enormously in- creased and the transport of the country will be hard put to it to bring in the grain. The British engineers have been at work on the irrigation scheme connected with the Hindieh Barrage, or dam, which was finished before the war, but the Turk neglected to profit by it. The equalization work connected with it was left incomplete, and the area to be cultivated was never brought under irrigation.

In a starlight from the shoulder talk to
Morgan City and Berwick business men
at the City Hail here this morning, Mr..
Frank A. Crippen, Secretary of the
Shipbuilding Committee Of the Louis
lana Council of Deefnse, made startling
statements concerning the different

needs of the war and with this demand

Defense organizations have undertaken
to enroll men enough to fill the gap.
LACK OF MAN-POWER is the reason
for the pitiful showing being made by
the government 8 shipbuilders, according
to Mr.. Crippen, and a concerted move
ment is now being made throughout the
United States to enroll men, laborers,
mechanics and carpenters to keep every
shipyard working every hour in the day
and night.
Mr.. Crippen is going before the busi-
ness men and employers in Louisiana
asking them to see that the call Of the
Nation for men is not made in vain.

Of democracy, and not OF the divine

wrought by civil war left a magnificent
race of men almost helpless and hopeless

now, this Old romanticism has given

has given way to the despotism Of prog

America needs 100000 volunteer
workmen to assist in the building OF
ships-of this number Louisiana must
furnish 1000 men. All classes of me-

If a man is at all skilled, his work OF

ernment as to qualify him in short

will be taught how to become ship
carpenter. While this instruction is
going on the house carpenter is receiv-

Siege The Greatest Ration

With the wise feeder silage makes uI
the bulk of his ration. 1t is the best
and cheapest feed that can be produced
on the farm, and that is why you fine
the silo on our best stock farms.
Most Of the great dairy records have
been made from cows fed on silage, ano
nearly all Of the prize winning fat stock
have had silage in their ration.
Silage in the ration has many advan
tages. 1t is the cheapest form Of diges
tibe carbohydrates and is most succu
lem and palatable food 1t is economic
in its storage space, requiring only one
eighth as much room as hay. It is con
venient to handle and always near by at
feeding time. 1t yields three to -four
times more than hay and is not subject
to damage from rains at harvest time.
Ask the man who has had silo five
or ten years what he thinks Of his invest
ment.
Silage and alfalfa or clover hay make
balanced ration, and wonderful results
can be obtained from these two feeds
alone. It is Of the greatest importance
to the keepers of live stock that they
feed cheap, but wholesome ration, dur.
ing period Of high priced rations. Good
feeding is PROFITABLE feeding.
