o. L. Horton turned "a hogs into

combined.

When soy beans are in full bloom
begin feeding them. They will re-
place part of the tankage and but

the corn that you value SO highly
and you are right too.

Frank Neisler reports that his
toxic soy beans are doing nicely. In
fact he is enthusiastic about this va
riety. 1t is hoped that we shall have
enough Of these beans available so
that we may have a. good acreage
next year. We started with one
bushel in 1918. Look them over If
you have not seen them growing.

We remember several years ago
that farmer near Reagan planted
soy beans for his hogs. He had read
that they could hardly be excelled fer
that purpose by any other crop. ALL

For Parish Office,

George Winston Magec, who
served the parish as Assessor
for two terms or eight years,
and was one of the four in the
last race when the present in
cumbent went into office, opens
the column for announcement OF
parish officers for the 1920 elec-
tion, by presenting his name this
week for Assessor of Washing
ton Parish, subject to the action
of the Democratic party.
1t speaks we'll for the coming
campaign that the list of Office
seekers is headed by a man who
gave such universally satisfac-
tory service during eight years
in office that he can announce for
the same work without the
necessity of either apology or
pledges. The duties of the as.
sessor's Office were discharged
by Mr.. Magee so faithfully and
efficiently that there is no bad
record to be apologized for
while the work was ever done sc
conscientiously and satisfactor
lily that it speaks for itself with
out the need of his pledginf
himself to duty in the future
further than to say, he knows
how to fill the Office of assesso,
and will do it to the best of hi!
ability and will appreciate tht
support of every voter in th'
parish.

Soldiers in Camps Organizing Farm.
ers' Forums Are Being Aided
by Army Y. M. c. A.

Farmers forums composed OF sol
diers desiring to establish homes and
farms on land provided by the govern
ment are being organized in the mill
tary camps of the Southern depart
ment, comprising Texas, Oklahoma,
Louisiana, Arkansas, New Mexico and
Arizona by the educational depart
nent Of the Army and Navy Y. NJ. G. A.
Groups of soldiers comprising the
forums meet regularly in the Y. M.
C. A. buildings and discuss the Ques.
tions involved in their efforts to &C.
lands in various states and the ways
and means of developing the lands
after they get them. Literature from
the department of the interior and
the agricultural departments Of the
states being studied is obtained and
digest of it given to the groups by
different members.
S. N. Craig, representing the depart
ment of the interior, has been largely
instrumental in formulating the plan
of operation followed by the soldier
| farmers and farmers-to-be. A series
of addresses was given by him in the
camps of the Southern department in
the ''Y' buildings, during which he
outlined the course to be pursued by
the government in assisting soldiers
to locate on unused government lands
In various states.
| More than $4,000 soldiers have
signed the applications for the gov
ernment land which will be available
after congress has passed the bill con-
taining the recommendations Of Sec.
retary Of the Interior Lane, according
to Mr.. Craig.
1T is gratifying that SO many of
the soldiers have indicated their de.
sire to take advantage Of the oppor.
tunities to be provided under the pro
visions Of the new law" said Mr.
Craig. "The ultimate success of the
plan depends upon the follow-up worl

The Important Thing About
Prices.

1t is important enough that
prices are high, but it IS more i'm
portant that people should know
whether the high level is going to
continue. The doubt that fingers
concerning the matter has reflect.
ed itself to too little activity
among the industries in America.
Some people ask the question:
"Will prices of labor come DOWN.
The answer is found in the history
of labor for the last half century

The Un.prophetic Visions.

The pledges of many radical
political platforms, the specula-

master Generals, and the speeches
of many men in Congress, and
hogsheads of printers ink,
recorded promises, in years gone
by, of what might be expected
when the Government took over
the railways and wire lines.
Cheaper fares, cheaper rates, and
more efficient service were includ.
ed in the prophetic promises that
experience has demonstrated to
be un.prophetic. Out OF six
thousand editors throughout the
country who have been polled, 50
per cent of them have reported
their communities in favor OF the
resumption of private manage

almost unanimous. With the wire

see today that there is no such don
dition as existed in 1896; no such
cause for unrest, and that in reality
the unrest IS not as great as it then
was. Moreover, II was then due to
actual starvation facts which faced
people every hour Of their lives, and
which had continued to run for years
following the panic of 1928.
