SPEND MILLIONS
TO SPREAD LIES

''Up to few months ago the propa-
ganda concentrated against England In
an effort to isolate that nation. Every
neutral country in the world was flood
ed with false information regarding
England and her purposes in the war.
"Now the attack is switching from
England to the United States. Every
possible effort to poison the minds of
the people in certain parts of the coun-
try is being resorted to, the effort be-
ing especially vicious in those parts Of
the country where the percentage Of
illiteracy is greatest, and among the
negroes. The special story which is
being whispered over the country
and we are the victims Of what is
known as the whispering propaganda
is that this is war of the wealthy
classes, and that the president plunged

RAISE MORE SHEEP
Necessary for Sake of Economic
Welfare and independence.
Steady Decline Is Shown in the IN
dustry In United States in Re-
cent Years.

Washington.-The sheep industry in
the United States must either adjust
itself to the changed economic con-
ditions of this day or continue the
decline which has been It's portion in
years past. Such is the conclusion
reached in report issued by the sheep
and wool industry by the committee
on statistics and standards of the
Chamber Of Commerce Of the United
States.
The principal remedies suggested In
the report to arrest the present steady
decline in our production of sheep
are, first, the use for sheep grazing OF
the agriculturally worthless and cheap

This is the Interpretation In pam
American diplomatic circles of Secre-

Observation-Disclosures mediation con-

1t Is, as 1t happens, the first formal
occasion in which any allusion to the
subject has been found appropriate or
possible since the beginning of the
war, and it made a good impression.
Secretary Lansing spoke OF the
wishes of the United States to assist
in the work at hand, and he empha-
sized the fact that the conference is

Frank Long, a farmer, at Red Cross

his hat in his hand above his head.
The crowd laughed.
Then someone said "ten cents. /"
Someone else doubled the bid, and the
hat was knocked down for $3.50 The

struction of maggots in wool, but near
ly all the remedies devised have seri-
Gus objections, so that dependence
must be placed almost entirely upon
preventive measures. If sheep be-
come infested, however, the wool
should be clipped from about the por-
tons containing the maggots. 1t is
necessary to begin the clipping out
side the infested area, so as to avoid
driving the maggots back into the I'M
soiled wool and thus extending the
trouble. When the maggots have been
concentrated in a certain spot by clip
ping around them, the application Of
stick dip in concentrated form or the
use of chlOroform, especially if the
infested area is covered Immediately
with piece Of oilcloth, will destroy
the maggots, and the entire mass then
can be clipped off, Mixtures of turp-
entine and tar have been tried in
Australia for the destruction of wool
maggots and the prevention Of subse-
quent infestation, with fair degree
Of success. 1t Is important that some
thing be applied to deodorize the in
tested parts and hasten healing.
Some sheepmen use air-slaked lime
busted lightly over the parts to dry
up the discharge and reduce the odor.
This undoubtedly Is accomplished to
some extent, but there is some danger
of forming crusts and having maggots
infest the sore places or wounds be-
meath these.
On large sheep ranges, when the
iambing is done during seasons which
are favorable for infestations, 1t Is
best to have the flocks divided into
rather small units and carefully
watched, so that any fiy-blown sheep
may receive immediate attention.
To protect lambs and other sheep
during the summer months from be-
ing blown by bluebottle flies an effort
should be made to prevent dlarrhea,
and when sheep get dirty they should
be promptly trimmed up. Apply to
the rump, and to the parts fouled by
diarrhea, grease containing a few
drops Of crude carbolic acid or tar
oil. The grease will hold the tarry
odor in suspense and act as a fly re-
pellent.

MEMORIAL TO CARRIE NATION
Woman's Christian Temperance Union
Will Erect Drinking Fountain

Wichita, Kan.-The Kansas Wom-

to that purpose.
The city commissioners have agreed
to accept the fountain in the name of

Rome.-The war is costing Italy
S149,000,000 a month or, in round
numbers, about $5,00O,O00 day. In
estimating the cost of the war the ex-
penditure incurred during the ten
months of Italy's neutrality for war
preparations as we'll as the money
spent during the 33 months of war up
to the end of last February are taken
into account. The estimate is only ap-
proximate, because besides the money
actually spent for war expenditure
payments made by the war office and
the admiralty for extraordinary ex-
penditure due to the war are included
in the calculation.
On the other hand the increased ex-
penditure and the payments made by
other government departments during
the period from August 1, 1914, to Feb
ruary %, 1918, are not taken into ac-
count. Only the expenditure of the
three ministries of war, Of the navy
and of munitions is added together In
order to afford an indication of how
much the war is costing Italy.
Cost of Warfare Grows.
The total extending over period Of
two years and nine months when di-
vided into shorter periods reveals that
war expenditure is increasing. Thus,
while during the first quarter of Italy's
intervention, from June to August,
1915. $97, 100000 were spent every
month, during the last quarter, from
December, 1917 to February, 1913, the
average monthly expenditure increased
to S2S2, 100000, and it is therefore cal
culated that at present the war is
costing italy S1OOOO.OOO a day.

Fighting and bombing operations OF
the aviators were extraordinarily nu-
merous and exciting last week. Many
machines on both sides were brought
down, but the Huns were by far the
greater sufferers. Among the noted
air men lost was Major Raoul Lufbery,
the American, who jumped from his
blazing machine and was killed. Other
American aviators were very active
and many of them gained new laurels.

Austria's renewed drive against Italy
did not develop last week, but reports
from Vienna said Austria had ceased
all military operations In the east on
May 20 in order to concentrate her
forces on the Italian front, so it is like
ly the offensive will be started there
very soon. The allies have little fear
of the result.

Secretary of War Baker and
Secretary of the Navy Daniels
have indorsed the plan of the
managers of the United War
Work campaign to solicit funds
from soldiers and sailors for the
seven organizations doing well
fare work in this country and
overseas. A telegram to this
effect has been received from the
East by G. S. Bilheimer cam
paign director Of the Southern
department, comprising the
states of Texas, Oklahoma, Ar
kansas, Louisiana, New Mexico
and Arizona.
Secretary Baker expressed his
views on the subject in letter
to DR.. John R. Mott as follows:
"On my return from Europe,
i am more than pleased to learn
OF the successful progress which
you have made in projecting the
plan Of the United War Work
campaign. I have received
gratifying reports Of splendid
cooperation on part of the Y.

STATE CAMPAIGN FOR
FOOD PRODUCTION

A food production campaign tha,
is expected to reach every nook anc
corner of the state will be launched
next January by the Extension Divis
ion of the Louisiana State University
This will be part Of nationwide eff
fort to produce next year the largest
food and feed crops the country has
ever known. The necessity for pro-
ducing every ounce OF food possible
is more apparent every day, and
nothing will be left undone to get a
maximum increase in live stock.
Every agency that can be utilized
will be put to work informing the
people of the great need for growing
more food. The press, the pulpit, the
orator, the schools, the motion pic
lures, the banker and the merchant
will be called upon. Between now
and January every parish will be or
ganized for the campaign. All the
factors that affect food production
will be taken into consideration and
solved as far as possible Improved
machinery is expected to very large
ly offset the labor shortage. While
the men are being urged to produce,
the women will be urged to con-
serve. Facts and figures will be pre-
sented that will leave no shadow of
doubt in the mind of anyone as to
the necessity for his getting busy in
the interest of himself and humanity.

ert Died this Morning.

Present conditions in Morgan
City indicate that the spread of
the Influenza epidemic has been
definitely checked. At II o'clock
this morning not a single case
| had been reported to Red Cross
headquarters. Mrs. Palmer af-
ter making a trip of inspection
this morning stated all of the
sick were doing nicely. The only
bad news of the morning con-

pany, who died about 10 o'clock
at the Bradford House.

reside in that city. His mother
and sister attended him during
the last few days of his sickness
The mother is now victim of
the disease. According to in

Palmer, young Hebert seeming
II recovered sufficiently to en-
able him to go out on the street
but he suffered a relapse which
resulted in his death. The body
will be taken to Thibodaux for
