Food Production Is
Still Important.

Not only is the food problem
still a paramount problem and
the hunger of the world still un-
appeased, but especially are we
going into an era of uncertainties.
No one knows just what the fu-
tuce holds for US. No man is
wise enough to predict with ac-
curacy whether prices will be
maintained or not. He is a very
unwise man, therefore, who
mukes up his mind to speculate at
such a time. The safest conrse
is to secure first the living Of the
people and then a constant and
well equalized production which
will be the surest guaranty of
prosperity. Bradford Knapp.

Millions For Missions.

The Southel n Methodist Church
plans to raise $35, 100000 for mis-.
sions within five years, and about
one million of that amount will be
given by Methodists of Louisiana,
and $5570 will be given by Metho-
dists of the Franklinton charge.
What will be done with this
money is the question that inter.
ests local Methodists, who have
always responded generously to
every call of the church,
Rev. j. B. Fulton the pastor,
gives out the following figures fix.
ing the plan of the denomination
in the expenditure of the millions
for missions. In the first place
S5,350,000 will be spent for the
reconstruction work resulting
from the late war. A total of
S5O00,000 will be spent annually
for five years in extending
Methodist work at home. This
means that annually S13,2l0 will
be added to the missionary work
being done here in Louisiana
among American speaking peo-
pile, not to mention the work
among the foreigners. At pres
ent about $1,000 is being spent,
making a total of more than $780,
600 annually set aside for future
Conference Mission Work.
At present the denomination is
spending about $4,000, 900 in all
its missionary work every five
years, besides this $10,000,0O0

From every reconstruction hospital
in the country comes this insistent
plea from thousands Of wounded SOL
diers. Although shattered in body, the
spirit that sustained them at Chateau
Thierry, Argonne and Metz remains
unbroken.
They do not want something for
nothing; they are willing to work for
all they get. ....
The Government has iraugurated re-
construction institutions at various
points throughout the country where
the blind, the armless and legless are
taught useful trades and professions.
While the soldier and sailor is un-

have dependents, they also receive aid.
Five possible steps follow wound

occupation; trial employment in that
occupation; placement after trial in
a definite Job, and fellow-up work to
safeguard his interests.
Within the next few months 1t is
expected that several thousand dis
abled soldiers will have sufficiently
recovered from their wounds to take
the Governments vocational training
course. Industrial schools and colleges

SOLDIERS COMPLAIN OF
LACK OF FOOD AND HEAT

WASHINGTON. Jan. 21.-Sen.
Sutherland Of West Virginia read a
letter in the senate Thursday from
John Marshall. chairman of the
Parkerburg. W. Va. Red Cross
chapter, who said many wounded
soldiers passing through that city
complained of lack of proper food
and heat on their trains. To furn-
ish proper nourishment TO the men.
Mr.. Marshall said, the Red Cross
canteen had 10 make extensive ex-
penditures and he asked that the
government reimburse the chapter
Sen. Sutherland said IL was an in
justice TO place this burden upon
the local canteens and that the war
department should adopt some pol
icy by which advance information
would be sent ahead TO the Red
Cross stations so that il would not
be necessary to feed the wounded
canned goods and the regular can
teen food.
1T Is most deplorable." the SEN
ator added. that hospital trains
should be found absolutely lacking
in the essentials required for the
care OF these wounded men,"
