ARMY CHAPLAIN HOLDS MASS AT
 ANCIENT ALTAR

Cologne, Sept. 6.-(Correspondence of The Associated Press).-A British army chaplain celebrated mass re- gently fin the great Cologne cathedral at the altar of the relics of the Magi, the skulls of the three wise men who came from the East to visii the newly born Saviour at Bethlehem. A number of American officers and men from the Coblenz area attended the services, and were permitted to view the relics.
 Tradition says that Empress He- lene procured the bones and took them to Constantinople, whence they were removed to Milan. In 1164 they were presented by Frederick Bar barossa to Archbishop Reinald von DasseI who brought them to Cologne At first they were kept in the Chapel of the Magi, the central chapel of the seven flanking the choir, but since the war they have been put away in the Cathedral treasury, near the or gan.
 The bones are kept in a golden reliquary, a costly specimen of Ro- manesque craftsmanship in the form of a basilica, said to have been made about 1900 A. D.. In the Col ogne coat-of-arms three crowns are represented, the ownership of the Magi relics having suggested the de- sign,

GIRLS WANTED ON FARMS

The Woman's Land army OF Amer
lea is not TO be demobilized. On the
contrary 1t is seeking many more re-
cruits. The national director OF
the organization, appointed by the
government, is organizing branches
of the tarmerette army in the states
that need Il most. Through these
branches many women and girls will
be placed on farms this coming sum-
mer, In units and in smaller groups.
Last summer many colleges sent
units of student workers to the
farms as an emergency measure. The
young women made good. Farmers
want more OF them in the coming
season. And the girls themselves en-
joyed the work. became interested
in agriculture and wish TO receive
further training in this work.
There are many women working
at seasonal trades who either are
idle during the summer. living on
small savings, or work at odd jobs
The college women, too, have nearly
three months which many of then
would rather spend in some usetu
occupation, than as purely pleasure
vacations. The land army offer
both groups OF young women ;
chance to make living wage during
the farmers busiest season.

Irwin Cobb rises to remark-or
rather sits to write-that since the
war many millions OF men will want
to wear knee pants. Not at all be-
cause they feel small for the part
we took in the war, but because
they have become used to knee pants
and leggings. Cobb also risks the
remark that men have as good a
right to get their pants up out OF
the way as women have to get their
skirts up out Of the mud. Cobb and
Taft would look real cute In knee
pants.

January 80, 1919
Dear Folks;
year ago today l left Hoboken
on the U. S. A. T. Huron and ar
rived at Brest. France, two weeks
later. From there we made two
days trip in a third class French
train to st. Nazaire, where We spent
two weeks.
We left st. Nazaire about s p. m.
on third class train and went
through Tours, vierzon, 81. Jeane de
Losne. Dion. Is-sur-Tille, Toul. and
arrived at Meril-la-Tour about noon.
We stayed in this (TouD sector un-
til July 90. when we left for La Ferte
on the Marne river, near Chateau
Thierry. In going to La Ferte we
went through Toul. Calmont. Chau-
mont, Troyes, Arcis, .Sommesous,
Sezanne, Noisy-le-Sec and Meaux.
We spent Is days at Ussy-sur
Marne. about four kilometers from
La Ferte, drilling and taking hikes
and swims in the Marne. From
there we hiked with full pack to
Chateau Thierry the first day and TO
Fere-en- -Tardenois the second day.
We camped in an orchard in VILE
Moyenne for six days. then moved
to Cierges from which camp / went
to Chaumrey and saw Quentin Roose-
velt's grave and what was left of
his airplane.
After six days in this camp We
moved into the woods near Monastic
La Boyee DIgny and an old choco-
late factory. Thirteen days there
and we moved to Goussandcourt,
where we spent the night; then we
hiked to camp north of Cherry over
looking the German lines.
We worked two days and patched
shell torn roads up through St
Thiabault and Bayuches. Then
about faced and started by truck for
! the Argonne front. In our truck
| trip, which lasted ten days, We went
through lie Charnel Dormans, Port
a Binson, Epernay, Chouilly, Cha
Ions. La Chaussee. Heilty-le- Maraupt
Lisle du Barrois, Chaumont-sur'
Aire, Lemmes Lempire. Dugnuy
souilly. and finally arrived at q camp
between Brabant-en-Argonn and
Parois where We spent a couple OF
days before we knew we were Sc
close TO the front. Then We went
down below Anyeville and spent
eight days working up toward the
front after dark each night.
The morning OF September 26th
when the big Argonne drive started
we moved to Neuville which was
five kilometers from the German
front line that morning at a. m.
We patched roads. built detours
around shell and mine craters and
worked labor outfits up as far as St
Juvin until November 14th, then
pulled up and moved to the verdur
front where we have been ever since

AS BOURNE SEES 1T

While It is generally believed that
lost Americans favor the league OF
atoms plan, so far as they now
nderstand the idea, 1t is sometimes
nlightening to weigh adverse opin-
on, Here is what Hon. Jonathan
sourne Jr., president of the repuo-
lean publicity association at Wash
ngton, D. c.. thinks of the plan:
widespread and insidious pro-
uganda, apparently we'll financed,
behalf OF internationalism as
against nationalism, places upon the
patriotic people and press Of the
country the necessity OF conducting
! vigorous and courageous campaign
.or the preservation of our national
sovereignty, our national ideals, and
our well-established national poll
cies. We fought the war of the
Revolution to free ourselves from
the European yoke, and fought the
War of 1912 to make that freedom
complete. What greater folly could
We now commit than to place our
selves voluntarily under command OF
league in which We would have but
one vote out of nine. the others rep
reeenting interests in almost every
instance diverse from ours?
Under the leadership of Presi-
dent Wilson and ex-President Taft
the internationalists are conducting
. campaign unsurpassed by any ex.
cept perhaps that founded upon the
fallaey "kept-us-out-of war" Based
upon well-sounding but deceptive
phrases, the propaganda for the sur.
render of nationalism will succeed
unless the people are informed as to
the true character OF the constitu.
tion OF the proposed league and
warned Of the certain effect Of our
participation. No greater danger
ever menaced this nation than tha,
which now confronts It."

Corn Club Members Win
Over Adult Farmers.

For the second time corn club
members have won over adult
farmers. Olaf Halle, a corn club
boy FROM Union Parish, won the
grand champion premium for the
best ten ears of corn displayed at
the State Fair in Shreveport.
This is Olaf's first year in club
work and he produced 1884
bushels of corn on his acre plot.
His winnings in trophies and
money at the State Fair amounted
to more than $3.50.
The prize for the best indivi.
dual ear of corn displayed was
also won by a corn club boy, Ivy
Gardiner from CatahouIa Parish.
This boy produced 142 bushels
and 10 pounds Of corn, which is
an exceptional yield for this year,
say the corn specialists.
The corn club boys of Louisi-
ana were also winners in the inter.
state contest with the boys
in Tennessee. Four other
states were expected to compete
in this contest but they were un.
successful in getting their ex-
hibits to the Fair,

Federal officials had hoped that
all Of Louisiana would be placed
in the free. .from-q quarantine area
this year, thus widening the tick
free highway to the Gulf of Mex
ico made when Mississippi drove
out the tick. The greatest reason
why complete success has not
been obtained is ascribed to fail.
ure of local officials to enforce the
local quarantine and dipping
laws. 1t is expected, however,
that 1920 will sec all remaining
areas cleaned up. At least that
is the confident hope of the Fed
eral officials, who placed their re-
lance on the overwhelming sem
timent in favor of tick eradication
in the parishes that already have
driven out the parasite.
Only 5,033 square miles, or 4
per cent of the State. remain un-
der Federal quarantine. All of
the quarantined arer can be com.
pletely cleaned up next year if the
parish officials will cooperate
with the State and Federal au.
