For A Worthy Cause

The Lafourche Leader heads its
editorials column in its last issue
with an appeal TO humanity TO save
the sufferers bf the Holy Land.
Oppressed and maltreated for years
by the cruel and unspeakable Turk,
and suffering from the no less re-
voting brutalities practrced upon
these helpless inhabitants Of the
cradle of Christianity they have
been delivered by General Allenby
and his gallant troops. the modern
Crusades. only to face the torture
of starving and freezing to death.
"The land has been: delivered"
says the Leader, "but ah! to what
pitiable condition have the brave
Armenians, the people who have
tried through every kind of adver-
sity to keep the light of Christianity
burning. been reduced. We leave it
to more gifted pens to tell of the
horrible condition of these people,
but you will have the opportunity
this month to contribute to their
amelioration. Let your offerings be
generous, remembering that it was
there in the Manger of Bethlehem
that the Saviour of mankind was
born"

Reports on Poultry

In its efforts to encourage the
broad development of poultry rails
ing in the United States, the Bureau
of Animal Industry of the United
States Department of Agriculture is
conducting Investigations to estab-
lish the best methods of raising many

turkeys. guineas geese and ducks
makes pleasing variety in the diet
and with wild fowls now becoming
less available, it is important that
a sufficient number of domestic birds
be raised to keep the market cons
family supplied. The problem now is
chiefly one of farm production. which
requires expert knowledge if ade-
quate supplies are to be continued.

Louisiana Notes

The LAFAYETTE Gazette in a recent
issue says that the only topic for con-
yersation the other morning on the
streets Of Lafayette concerned the
bills for electricity that patrons of
the electric plant at that place had
lust received. Frantic inquiries
were made as neighbor, regarding
the size of the bill for last month.
Says the Gazette:
Some of our householders
thought, upon receiving their bills,
shat the billmaker had confused
them with the Gordon Hotel or
Heyman's perpetual night display.
But when they found the bills were
correct according to meter readings
and the recently adopted rates, they
began to rave One merchant who
never keeps open after e p. M,
swore that the clerk who made his
500 bill had been attacked with per-
petua1 motion while writing on the
naughts, but when he found the bill
correct he lost all the religion in the
family. Three different places where
more than one family are using the
same meter were the scenes of as
many fist fights, and altogether, the
city trustees may consider their
McAdoo stunt of raising the wind
as quite an explosive success
