CHURCHES TO AID
VICTORY LOAN BY
SERMONS ON MAY 4
1t viii BE Thanksgiving Loan" In
Recognition Of This country's
- Happiness And The Re-
turn Of Peace A#.

Sunday, May 4, has been designated
Gil over the United States as Victory
Loan Sunday, when every pastor OF
every denomination is asked to dis
cuss from the pulpit the Victory Loar
campaign and urge upon their hearers
such investments in the Victory Loar
as they can undertake.
1t has been the observation of those
prominent in former Liberty Loan
campaigns that the churches have had
enormous influence in furthering sub
scriptions. And there is every reason
why this should be so. Lending tc
ones country is something more than
a business investment. 1t is a patri
otto obligation and surely patriotism
deep regard for ones homeland-is
a form of religion.
The Victory Loan is also being call
ed the Thanksgiving Loan,'' and sure
ly 1t is a fitting designation. Think
Of the boys who have come back home,
alive and well, with the enemy van
Quished, the battles over! Think of
peaceful America, it's people prosper
GUS, its children happy and well nour-
ished, its lands safe from the inva-
sion of a foe: and compare our situa-
ton with that of starving Russia and
Poland, with Germany torn by Red
revolution; with victorious France still
bleeding from the scars of horrible
war. Think of the heavy taxation
which must for years burden the peo-
pie Of Europe, victors and vanquished
alike. And then compare our situation
herewith our government asking
only that we lend what we can spare,
with gilt-edged security and liberal in
terest. Certainly, we can afford to
call this Thanksgiving Loan, and
prove our thankfulness by liberal in
vestments. There is not father who
has seen his boy come home, or who
has learned that he is safe overseas,
who can afford to cheat himself of his
share in this-the last Of the govern
nent loans-which will pay the war
ill and finish the job"

has six German airplanes to his
credit. The circus is lead by Major
George E. Stratemayer, organizer of
the Air Service Mechanics School at
Kelly Field which is conceded to be
one of the best and largest in the
world.
This flying circus, known as the
Middle West Victory Loan Flying
Circus, will come to New Orleans
from Ellington Field, Houston, Tex
as, probably stopping at Gerstner
Field, Lake Charles, and will go from
here to Jackson, Miss. The route to
Jackson will be above the Mississippi
river.
April 10 the group of flyers will
give exhibition flights at New Or
leans. They will show Louisianians
what is meant by the nose-dive, tail
spin, loop, zoom, side-slip and I'M
melmann. 1t is thought probable
that a sham battle will be staged.
The tentative itinerary of the KEEL
ly Field flying squadron will include
Houston, New Orleans, Jackson,
Memphis, Little Rock, st. Louis,

A SUCCESSFUL CLUB BOY.

Hubert Williams, a school boy OF
Progress school, near Bush, La, has
proven a good deciple of the agricul-
tural work. The Agent dorve up to
Hubert's home one cold evening in
January, just in time to get his hand
in on dressing for market the last
two shoats of litter of good grades
which had been put through patches
of peanuts, sweet potatoes, peas and
corn. They were in fine condition,
and young, and put on the market
at good price. The food cost little,
which they gathered themselves in
the approved way.N They netted him
$122.00 The mother of these pigs,
a good Durec Jersey brood SOW, was
heavy, showing more profits not far
off. This is one of the club mem
bers who grows the food for his hogs
and does not have to pay feed bills.
Hubert got some good seed corn
four years ago from the Agent which
he has been clinging to since and i'm
proving from year to year by field
selection. His was the best crib of
corn the Agent has seen in some time
considering the very high proportion
of good ears. Instead of a show ear
being rare and hard to find, just the
reverse is true He had the corn
field-selected that he expected to
plant next year and we were picking
out seed for sale. He produced SIS
bushels on one acre last year at
cost of 80 IL cents per bushel. His
land was not extra good, and the
season was extra bad He sold 20
bushels at $500 per bushel, the value
OF all he produced amounting to
$4,000, from which he deducted
S16.71 expenses for producing, leav-
ing profit of s13329. This. with
the profit from his pigs, make a total
Of $255.29. Hubert has a bank ac-
count He made out his club record
books as all good club members do.
and in this shows that he is business
like about his Work-a principle we
are trying especially hard to instiIl
into the young farmers. Hubert did
this work and walked three miles to
school where he earned promotion to
the next higher grade. He will com
plete the work offered by that school
this session and is now planning to
go to the State Agricultural College
next session-on his own money.

After all, this is a pretty good old
world to live in. There is much to
be thankful for, even tho at times
We seem to be overwhelmed by the
sorrows of the day. True, greed and
selfishness abound on earth but if we
drive them out of our own hearts
to that extent We are better off than
some others. Look around and see
how much benefcent Natuer at times
provides for our enjoyment.
Take a beautiful spring morning,
for example, and not the encircling
blue in the sky, the 1eafy trees and
grass begemmed with dew, the lifting
song of birds, and above all the
odoriferous balm of bud and flower
Among these balmy scents comes one
in particular that to our mind is
sweeter than the famed perfume of
'Araby, the BEST" or the fragrant
essence of the boudoir.
