shot to bits, leaving barely a trace of
their former location. Others, famous
~cathedrals, such as those of Reims and
Amiens, may be left as they now stand

This action was taken because of

State In Which Sacred Ediices Now

More than 5000 churches we're either
completely destroyed or seriously dam
aged by the German invasion Of north
ern France. The state In which these
martyred churches now are found
varies from those that have been alb
solutely wiped out to others which suf-

The work Of restoring the churches
has begun. The first annual general
assembly of the Society to Restore the
Churches of the Devastated Regions
was held in Paris recently. At that
time Victor Odelin of Paris reported
that over $256.OOO has been expended
In beginning the work Of restoration.
He stated that sixty-three churches
have been adopted by individuals who
will personally bear all the expenses
involved In the work Of rebuilding.

LIVE STOCK SANITATION
FOR DISEASE PREVENTION

Live stock sanitation means the
adoption of every practical measure
to preserve animals in health and
prevent disease, one main feature of
which is the destruction of disease
producing germs. However, we be-
lieve we are correct in saying that
there are more animals lost from
want of proper sanitation than there
are animals saved by the use of arti-
fetal preventives (vaccines, serums,
etc. alone. Sanitation and preventive
vaccines and serums combined will
give the desired results; but to de-
pend upon the preventives, without
sanitation, is only trifling with the
problem of disease control and eradi-
cation. Stockowners should give this
some serious thought; it is a business
proposition.-W. H. Dalrymple.

agents, beginning November II. The
courses for the most part will be of an
advanced nature and are intended to
prepare the agents to meet the grow

WOMEN's WORK is NEEDED
NEW RED CROSS PROGRAM CALLS
FOR CONTINUED PRODUCTION.

New Orleans.-The Greatest Moth
er in the World" is not content to
fold her hands and allow her deft
needle-scarred fingers to lie idle in
her lap, now that the war is over. So
many of the Red Cross workers in the
Gulf Division wanted to continue their
work for humanity, that a new pro
gram has been outlined along the lines
OF which each chapter may work to
aid the folks at home.
This program makes a number OF
suggestions, and gives each chapter
a more or less free rein as to the
things it will choose as most badly
needed in that particular locality For
instance, there is the loan closet"
These closets will be well stocked with
such supplies as pajamas, night
gowns. slippers, bathrobes, baby lay
cites, and the like, so that poor fam
lilies, suddenly stricken by illness, may
borrow what they need, returning
the materials when the emergency has
been tided over. The articles then
can be SteriliZed and replaced in the
"loan chest" for use on other occa-
sions.
Another suggestion is that of max
ing hospital supplies, surgical dress
ings and the like, just as in the black
days of the war. These will be used
not only for the military hospitals still
in operation, but for civilian relief
hospitals, for charity hospitals, and for
free clinics.
Mrs William j. Hardee, Director of
Production for the Gulf Division, said
$50 many women have asked for
something more to do. and there are
So many things waiting to be done,
that chapter production will continue
for some time"

TO PROTECT BASINS
FROM MISSISSIPPI
RIVER OVERFLOWS
Building of Stretch of Levees in
Louisiana is Asked of
Congress
RIVER COMMISSION
AGREES ON POLICY
Separation of the Atchafalaya
from the Mississippi Held
Unnecessary

Washington, Nov. 3.-Construc-
ton of more than one hundred miles
of levees in Louisiana were recon-
mended today to congress by the Mis-
sissippi River Commission and gov
eminent engineers as the most feas-
ible plan to protect nine hundred
thousand acres of land in the basins
of the Atchafalaya and the Red riv-
ers, and the area between Bayou DIES
Glaize and the Red river, from the
Mississippi river flood waters. The
cost of the work was estimated at
S5,135,OOO.
Separation of the Atchafalaya
from the Mississippi was held to be
unnecessary, while the closing of the
former river at its head, so the river
would flow into the Mississippi, was
opposed on the ground that this plan
''would add to the Mississippi river
floods the full discharge of the Red
and the present flow from the Mis-
sissippi to the Atchafalaya."
The three plans have been under
consideration several years.
The report by the commission, and
in which the government engineers
concurred, declared the additional
protection to the Southern lands can
be carried out under the flood con-
troll act of 1917. Appropriations
from congress, however, would be
necessary to undertake the work.
"Levees now extend down both
sides of the Atchafalaya river for
forty-seven and one-half miles, and
protect about 842,240 acres" declar-
ed the report.
"These levees may be extended and
thereby protect an additional area in
theAtcha aya basin of about 237,-
400 acres at an estimated cost of
S1,830,0O0. In the basin between
Bayou des Glaize and the Red river,
1873, 900 acres can be protected from
Mississippi flood waters by extending
the levees down the right bank of the
Red and down the Atchafalaya to
connect with the existing system at
Bayou des Glaize, at an estimated
cost of 81 100000.
North of the Red river is an area
of 567, 900 acres subject to overflow.
Of this about 272,OO0 acres west of
the Black river and 295, 900 acres
east of the Black river can be pro-
tected by levees at an estimated cost
of $2,251, $50, making a total cost of
$5,131, ZOO. to protect about 942,-

/ New Crleans.-Here is a message
i for every man, woman and child IN
Louisiana, Alabama and MISSISSIPPI
/ The message comes straight from no
mer W. Borst, manager for the GuI
Division of the American Red Cross
of that organizations third annual Roll
Call. which is now in progress, and
which is to reach it's successful con-
clusion on Armistice Day-the flrst
anniversary of the close OF the great
est war of all times:
First of { II are the financial needs
of national headquarters. On Septem-
Der 80 the Red Cross national treas
ury contained 14,5OO,O00 dollars; $15,-
OOO. 900 more than that is needed Tor
the honorable completion OF work
abroad It is true that on February %
a much larger sum was available, but
this sum has been used since then in
the absolutely necessary relief meas
ures which the Red Cross was COM
pelled to institute at the withdrawal
of the armies from the allied countries
Of Central Europe, and also in the
assistance given to the thousands OF
wounded soldiers in American army
hospitals
During the period of four months
after January /, 1919, the expenditures
by the Red Cross for these purposes
were the largest in the history Of the
organization.
"The next need which the Red Cross
is preparing to meet, as enthusiast
cally as any need during the war, is
the home need, the need for Red Cross
service to the people of Louisiana, Mis-
sissippi and Alabama. Under the ban
ner of the Red Cross, which has never
known defeat in any field, the people
OF the Gulf Division are going out to
win greater happiness and better civic
life and health.
"It is fitting that the campaign ends
on Armistice Day. That is the ami
versary Of our defeat of great and
dangerous foreign enemy. 1t is the
beginning of a renewed fight, and an
ultimately victorious fight against in
ternal enemies no less formidable, and
no less entitled to be laid low. Those
enemies are poverty, i'll health and ig-
norance. The victory means health,
happiness and epublic welfare The
Red Cross Call is humanity on the
march"
One-half of every membership dollar
remains right at home to perform
these local tasks. Also the larger part
of all cash contributions will be en-
ployed in whatever local welfare work
the chapters decide upon.
