FYOrida'S Fine Climate

mer days and nights delightfully."-
pleasant, thanks to their cooling ef-
feet.
Florida is located south of the
storm tracks which move from west
to east across the states during the
winter months. On this account the
number of days when the sun shines
is very great. 1t is known fact
that newspapers Of the well-known
tourist town Of st. Petersburg are
given free any day when the sun does
not show it's rays. And the newspa'
pers have not lost very much money
on this bet
Severe droughts are not common In
Florida. The dry season takes its
course in winter. The wettest part
of the year are the summer months
Between July and September we have
refreshing showers practically every
afternoon, lasting but a short time
with deliciously cooling effect. The
normal rainfall varies from 38 inches
at Key West to So inches on the
northwest coast.

Here are some facts about Florida's
climate that will be enlightening to
newcomers and short-staying visi-
tors. The Florida Grower without
yielding to the almost irresistible
temptation to become ecstatic over
Florida's matchless weather says:
Florida has probably the most even
climate of all the states; the mean
annual temperature is 70S. Since
1880 only five cold waves covered the
peninsula. In summertime hot waves
are practically unknown and it is Z
recorded fact that sunstrokes are en-
tirely unknown in Florida.
Many people have the idea that
Florida is unbearable in summer
months; as a matter Of fact, Florida
climate is milder in summer than In
many of the northern summer resorts
The explanation for this is that the
Atlantic on one side and the Gull
waters on the other side Of the pen
insula act as giant regulators and
ocean or gulf breezes make the sum

\ young lady school teacher at Sour

ton from the Federal War-Loan Or
ganization in her state by persuadins

school Of that town to buy Warsaw

which mature during their graduation
wear and are then worth s. each.
The pupils thus accumulate what
they call an endowment fund for
college when they have graduated from
high school. The idea has taken such
firm hold in Sour Lake that the young
lady. Miss George Stewart. has been
allie to organize the class in her school
which will graduate during 1923 into Il
War-Savinys Society. Every member
of the class has invested in 1913 War
Savings Stamps which will fal due
during the year in which they will
graduate.
Miss Stewart. it is safe to say, has
left other good impressions on the
minds and characters of her pupils.
The high praise given her by the Fed
eral officials in Sharge of her War
Loan District is something that some
cf our splendid ROSSier Parish school
teachers might try to earn for them
selves.

THE rOTTON FARMER.

Texas cotton growers have begun or
.anizing in earnest-and tney are mad
about it, They are mad about it (the
cotton situationl and that is why we
say they have been organizing i'll
earnest. The whole world Is Organ-
lied against the cotton grower" is one
of the utteranceS emanating from the
first meeting held this week in Dallas,
where the Farmers League Of Texas
was started as a cOunter-StrOke to the
world in arms against Il square deal.
In truth. the whole world is organ
is 10 new thing. The people who have
bought cotton to spin or on which to
speculate ever since cotton became the
principal crop in the South have
always been more or less loosely or
ganized and agreed on the general
principle of buying the cotton as
cheaply as it could he bought and in
selling it at as high Il price as they
could possibly get for it.
The difference is that the cotton
farmers are only just beginning to
wake up to the fact that they will
have to organize for their own protec-
ton or continue to submit to be vic
timiZed by people who do know enough
to organize in their own interest.
Civilization is founded more or less
on the trust in each other of people
who have interests in common. We all
have to trust somebody. And the farm
erS will have to trust each other

| have just had occasion to meet

Seldorff.
=" What should be made known.
they said, Ito enlighten the Allies on
the state of mind of the Germans is
their deme:nor in the face of our cin-
ema shows. In the hope OF impress
ing the subjects Of the Kaiser, our gen

Murderers and Looters.

From Sunday Shreveport fdncdsid.
It is not fear so much as it is loath-
ing. No decent man would ever care
to sit in II League of Nations with the
representatives Of ii nation OF murder
ers and looters. Moreover. Germany is
not submissive: is not penitent: IT Is
nursing it's hatred and already plan
ming for its world-looting schemes for
the future. Germany is whipped and
repentant in exactly the same way ana
to the same degree that the devil Is
whipped and repentant. and not to
any greater extent.-Hdn"tdct"rer's
Record.
The Record is right. No self-respect-
in. man would feel ut ease i'll the COM
pany of murderers and looters and de-
spoilers of defen>eleSS women and
children. No German who has been
connected with the war directly or i'll
directly should be permitted to set
foot on American soil. This prohibi-
ton should be fixed for Il time of at
least ten years. or more. The worlds
safety must rest Oh Germany being
kept in Subjection The war which has
ended in Germany'S defeat was not
dictated on the impulse Of the moment
Tut in pursuance of Il definite plan to
kill and conquer. to steal the lands OF
other people and then place thereon
Germans from the. crowded sections OF
Germany. No sympathy should he

Should We Raise More Hogs?

Where it is possible for hog raisers
to make cooperative shipments of hogs
to the packing plants there should be
no encouragement over the depressed
local market for hogs" says Dean w.
X. Dodson, College Of Agriculture, Lou.
isiana State University. THE price is
holding firm at the packing centers,
and it seems to me that the condi-
tions are such as to justify the expec-
tation of the prevalence Of high prices
next fall and winter.
Undoubtedly there was a material
increase in the production of hogs last
year; this was due largely to the ma
tiOn-wide campaign for the increased
production of hogs as a patriotic duty,
partly to the unusual activities in com.
batting hog cholera, and partly to the
assured high prices. The highest esti-
mate made last fall of the increase, by
any responsible commercial organiza-
tion, was Is per cent; the Department
of Agriculture's estimate was about 8
per cent. However, when we look
into the condition of the foreign mar
ket and the slaughter records of the
present winter, we find that there is
a good demand for all of the meat and
lard that we have, and that the un.
usual high killing record will leave
us at the end of the year with less
number of hogs Oh the farms than we
had last year. The killing records
during some of the months of heavy
marketing ran as high as 50 per cent
increase above the killing record fol-
the corresponding months of the pre-.
ceding year, and we would expect our
present stocks remaining on the farm
to be somewhat lower than usual.
IF we take the highest estimate OF
increased production, or Is pei cent,
the total increase in pounds of pork
produced will still be considerably
short of the estimated increased ex
port demand; thus if we are able to
meet the export requirements, the
large supplies of pork products now
held by the packing companies will be
absorbed in the very early summer
and we will go into the next season
| with puch less stock on hand than
| we had a year ago.
Again, the guaranteed price oi
1926 a bushel for wheat is undoubt
| edly causing many farmers in the
spring wheat region to sell their hogs
now. with the expectation of planting
spring wheat instead of corn. This
will have tendency to lessen the
supply of hogs next winter and spring
and to make corn higher.
"All of the European countries viii
require. for some time to come, large
supplies of pork and fats from the
United States.
I'VE should, therefore. answer in tn,
affirmative the inquiry. Should Lou
isiana raise more hogs?'"

HOW CAN YOU TELL YOUR
FAvCRiTE TOBACCO?
As Plain as the Nose on Your
Face-lEst Smell Il

Smokers do not have to put tobacco
in their pipes to find out if tdey like it.
They can just rub the tobacco between
the palms OF their hands and smell it.
The nose is an infallible guide to smok-
ing enjoyment.
All smoking tobaccos employ some
favoring "to improve the favour and
burning qualities of thr leaves, to
quote the Encyclopaedia Britannica.
Naturally, there is considerable differ
ence in the kind of favorings used, and
the nose quickly detects this difference.
TUXEDO Tobacco uses the purest,
NOS wholesome, and delicious of all
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. And the almost
universal liking for chocolate in great
measure explains the widespread popu-
larity of TUXEDO Tobacco.
Carefully aged, old Burley tobacco,
plus dash of pure chocolate, gives
TUXEDO Tobacco a pure fragrance
your nose can quickly distinguish from
any other tobacco. Tr:1 !; a,1 see.
