crop of potatoes he was going out to
the course and "hit the ball"
Mayor Sullivan asked the guests to
drink a toast to ''the best president
of the best lumber company in the
world" Mr.. Sullivan made the clos
ing talk of the evening and told that
hereafter the directors are going to
have their parties in Bogalusa, in
stead Of going to New Orleans, and
instead of only few couples enjoy
ing those parties the big Eogalusa
family" would be invited. He stated
that the golf course would bring the
citizens closer together, besides af-
fording great exercise all arrtise-
ment TO large number.

THE KAISER WINES AT REPRIsALs

Allied airplanes are answering the Beast of Berlin III a
language that he understands. He Whines about the air RAID
OH Frankfort, but his people remember the way he gloated over
similar attacks ON London and Paris. For a long time the Brit
ish government refused to permit reprsals in kind, but at last
found out that the let taionis" is the only part of information
al law that the Huns recognize.
Stories of barbarities inflicted Oh American prisoners OF
war in Germany have been related by German deserters and
prisoners of war. Our government and military authorities
are investigating them. They should not be accepted and act
ed upon until conclusively proved; but, if they are true, we
must exact an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. If the
Huns elect to fight this war TO a finish without quarter, as
their cave-men ancestors did, let them have it. We fought
some of our Indian wars along that line, and AIRED Indian at
his worst never thought of the outrages and barbarItles COM
mitted by the Huns. The war fever is rising fast III America
and the quicker the kaiser is made to realize it the better. His
submarines along our Atlantic coast are violating international
law and rules of civilized warfare. He feels the goad of bombs
dropped on the cities of The Rhineland and his people now cry
out for cessation of such warfare by both sides. Reprisals are
barbarous, but if American prisoners have been done to death
i'll German prison camps, as German soldiers say, we can al
least send as many Huns in our hands to the Valhala of their
gods of war.

Albany Journal: German soldiers can do the goose step
backwards with equal facility.
SHEEP IN SOUTH AMERICA

Argentine sheep raisers saw what was coming when the
wal began in 1914 and they have almost doubled their flocks
in four years, the English estimate being 100000 sheep in
1914 and 100000 sheep this year, says the New York Com
mercial. Argentine has also added to its herds 81 cattle and
hogs, and Uruguay is fast becoming one of the greatest cattle
countries of the world.
Americans are wont to regard Latn-Americans as lacking
in enterprise, but these records of live stock operations prove
that they have both energy and foresight. Europe is denuded
of live stock and peace will increase its demand and CONNER
cal requirements for both meats and live animals. These Ar
gentine sheep raisers have invested i'll the surest thing that
can be named. When they can get ships they can sell their
wool at the highest prices ever known. They need not worry
about peace because it will still further enhance the price Of
wool.
Europe and America are bare of free stocks of wool. As
soon as the war ends the markets will be free and wool and
cotton will command high prices wherever ships can go for IT..
These sheep raisers run no risk in either case, but they can
sell their wool faster after peace is declared and government
price regulations come to an end.
Canada, Mexico and the United States have equally good
prevailing opinion is that fortunes await those who prepare
to replenish EurOpe's flocks and herds to supply her after-War
requirements for wool. South America will have a new crop
of millionaires as a result of the increase in live stock. "A
flock of sheep doubles itself every year and either the wool or
the ram lambs more than pay running expenses, 50 the IN
crease in animals is clear profit. Money SO invested grows
fast when the rate of profit is "a hundred per cent a year com
pound interest. The possibilities are limited only by the range
of feeding ground.

SHIP WORKERS WITNESS LAUNCHINGs

No more practical means of inspiring LABOR i" VIZ S.
task of winning the Val has been developed, according to In
formation reaching the department of labor, thah throuen No
wartime practice of inviting the workmen in a BODY 10 lno
ship l~aunchings. AT the big Fore river yards ana se"nU
every effort is made to assure the men who nave DUN uo
ships an opportunity to see them slip into the WATER 0 TIT
men in witnessing the spectacle not only come into a realza-
ton of the great work America is doing, but they TAKE d 70
sonal pride in their own labor that they would not feel other-
wise.
In the past launchings have been generally ceremonies .
a comparatively small and select company, for in peace times
nothing in particular depended upon the addition of one vessel
more or less to tbe navy OF TO the merchant marine. Now all
that has changed; every ship launched today is a BODY dow 10
the enemy. The feeling prevails at most %shipyards that me
workmen, partners with the management IN the Duhuhs VI
every ship, should be honOred guests at the Launching.

THE BOLSHEVIKI CONFESS FAILURE

Socialism of the Bolshevik brand has failed in Russia be-
cause it destroyed industry and put an end to production.
For a few brief months the Red guards and the leaders OF the
movement subsisted by plundering those who had something.
their toll their own they stopped tiling the soil or they pro-
duced only sufficient for their own bare existence and hid
what little they had as well as they were able. Now the cities
are starving because the bourgeoise have nothing to sell, says
the New York Commercial.
In the factories workmen demanded such extravagant
wages that the farmers could not pay the price of the products,
and would not sell foodstuffs for money. They now insist Oh
receiving goods and implements in exchange for wheat, etc,
and base the barter and exchange of articles OF real value on
their old relative values without regard for nominal quotations.
If a suit of clothes, formerly worth fifty rubles or twenty
bushels of wheat. is now quoted at four hundred rubles, the
farmer still refuses to give more than that amount OF wheat
for it, which makes the price of wheat nominany eight times
what it averaged before the war.
Lenine and his followers have found that they cannot eat
when those whom they rob refuse to produce or sell food. The
factories are closed because the machinery of trade and dis
tribution has been destroyed along with the business houses
which attended to the work. 1t is one thing to rule and anoth-
er to keep up production. When the people cannot trust their
rulers they stop constructive work and the state goes to de-
cause it has destroyed capital. Every farmer with grain to sell
is a capitalist to that extent, and when capital is destroyed
productive industry, which creates capital, goes with il.
When the Bolsheviki deprived those who had anything of
value in their possession the ignorant masses thought that
they would be able to live without work or that they would be-
come rich by taking over the means of production. Those who
tried to live without work soon starved, and those who hoped
to grow rich found that their rights of possession were no
more sacred than the rights of those whom they robbed and
supplanted. Lenine and TrOtzky tore down, but did not know
how to substitute some new economic system for the one they
destroyed. Now they have taken refuge under the protection
of German guns, and the kaiser will probably decide that it
will be more profitable to rule Russia himself than to support
his broken tools in office. Lenine now says that "the success
of the revolution depends on the ability for practical organiza-
ton;" and that is where socialism fails. 1t is destructive and
not constructive.

TOO MUCH EFFICIENCY

Efficiency experts often cause waste of time and energy
altogether out of proportion to the savings effected by their
faddish systems. The head of a state government bureau in
New Jersey has ordered his underings to keep a log of the
work they do, and he gives them a sample of the way he re-
cords his own movements. His log of two hours work after
reaching his office contains about 325 words, which would be
1900 a day. 1t would take at least two hours a day to post the
log in the way he specifies. On the basis of an eighthour
day one-fourth of each mans time will be consumed in post
ing his log. This efficiency system therefore reduces efficien-
cy twenty five per cent. An efficiency expert once got into a
big factory and installed a system whereby he could account
for every screw and nail. At the end of two years he had
more people in the office than men and boys in the workshops
and the factory changed hands. Just think how much time a
shirker will consume in posting his daily log.

HOG ISLAND ACHIEVEMENTS

When the war has ended and it is possible to Judge Things
more fairly than at present., the tremendous undertaking o
the building of the Hog Island %shipyards Will, perhaps, ranh
country.
A distinguished Engishman has thus commented on te
Hog Island establishment:
This is the most marvellous engineering feat That nave
ever seen and the organization which is conducting the work
is unique. 1t can not be duplicated anywhere In the WORLD
The engineers, the management and the workmen are all
entitled to credit for the construction OF this magic cny' WIN
fifty ways for the launching of ships. In spite OF dlf1lculues
at the start in making satisfactory housing arrangements at d
spot so remote from the the facilities required for the comfort
of workmen, the force remained on the JOB until the dnncu
ties were surmounted and the yards made ready for the manu-
facture, not mere building, of ships. AT this yard the depart
ment of labor is informed that the number of accidents is be-
ing cut to uncomnlOnly low figures

TEACHING ENGLISH


New York Commercial: Discussions of the value of jour
nalsm, literary composition, play writing, etc, have become a
regular summer feature. Both sides are right up to a certain
point. No course of instruction can turn common clay into
great poets, philosophers, playwrights or editors; but it is pos
sible to teach any person of average intelligence to express his
thoughts in clear and decent English.
Our public institutions of learning, as a whole, fail to teach
pupils to speak, write and spell the common language OF the
country. When a young man or woman applying for work
in a newspaper office is so gifted it almost invariably turns
out that the home circle, and not the school, deserves the
credit. There are just enough exceptions to the rule to prove
that it is possible to learn English in school. The right kind
of instructors can teach pupils to speak and write it no matter
what the nationality and education of the parents may be.
The ambition of children is easily aroused by injunctions to
talk like a lady or gentleman, and they can be induced to
criticize one anothers speech out of school and to appeal to a
sympathetic teacher when they cannot settle the dispute among
themselves.
Higher seats of learning have to waste time and
energy in teaching what every twelve year-old child should
know almost by instinct. Careless speech is a great handicap
Most of those who study rhetoric in its various forms at these
schools of literature will not become literary lights; but, if
the system of instruction is sound, they will acquire the ART
of constructing simple sentences, and that will carry them far
in business if they fail in art. Sneers at hacks" are out OF
place. Business men are seeking stenOgraphers and secretar-
les who can avoid tying knots in the English tongue.
