Some Good Ones" from the Stars and Stripes'

The Australians have just about all the Iaurels they can carry back to their home under the Southern Cross, but one of their finest came in an informal citation conferred on them in the midst of a battle by buck of the 27th Division, which fought with them on the British front. He had just captured a Boche who spoke English and was looking him over for possible souvenirs.
 What's them words on that there buckle?"
 "Got init uns."
 "What do they mean?"
 "They mean we can't be defeated because God is with us."
 "Oh! hell," replied the Tank, un- discouraged, "we've got the Aussies with us."
 During the Argonne battle strag- gling negro soldier was impressed 1 into service by hard working Am erican battery. For several minutes he appeared awe-struck, as the belching 75's sent their missiles of death toward the Hun lines. Then he became animated and interested. As a shell was rammed home and discharged, he listened, with head cooked, until he thought he heard it's explosion in the German lines. Then he shouted with almost fiendish glee: "Faiser, count yo' dead"
 Around the Sibley Stoves of the 4th Division up in Germany, they still tell the story of the surgeon who swam the Vesle under fire one night and in the morning, still under fire. received his outfit, which was just coming up, with all the iodine and C. c. pills it wanted, not to mention the bandages he had all ready in case they should be needed. They tell too, of the chaplain who was holding burial services one day when a squadron of six German airplanes came over and dropped some bombs Ten casualties toppled over into tht open grave.

INDIA'S SUGAR ACREAGE
(Boston Transcript

(Boston Transcript
 The first official forecast of the sugarcane crop of India for the 191S- 19 season is based upon- reports re- ceived from provinces that contain % per cent of the area under cane in British India. The total area plant ed is estimated at 2,550,000 acres, which is practically the same as the estimate for the 1917-1S season. Seasonal conditions at sowing time were not very favorable in the inn portant cane growing provinces, and owing to the delayed rains the pros poets of the crop are still uncertain in the greater part of the United Provinces, which contains more than half the cane area of British India.

 The Bear Cats of the Tank Corps up with the British were in the midst of wild fight when one of them got a bad dose of splinters in his eye and sank to the floor, exclaiming: "My eye is gone!'
 "Aw, hell, keep a-scrapping" yell ed Corporal Connolly. You've got another eye. ain't you?"
 Colonel Blank, he who had been such tartar at all inspections that his name was a byword in his regi- ment, was in the thick of the Ar gonne fighting and for six days was unable to shave. For six days he was unable to pry the mud from his clothing or rake it from his hair. And in this unfamiliar state he was hailed at the end of the sixth day by doughboy who was seiZing the op- portunity of liesure to shave by a mirror hung on a knife stuck in a tree.
 "Hey, there Buddie!" the doughboy shouted. Do you know, you look like hell? better come up and get a shave or Colonel Blank will land on you like a ton of bricks"
 Colonel Blank accepted the invita- ton.
 This is the story of Murph's re- port. Murphy was in Company A 3O1st Tank Battalion. His tank blew up in a mine field, and. al though he himself was wounded, he helped to get the men in his crew to the rear first. Before they ship ped him back he wrote an accurate message to his section commander giving his casualties and the map location of his burned-out tank. The message was written on the back O. the only scrap of paper he had, saved from the wreck of the tank. Ina scrap was photograph of his wife.

ELTON BARNETTE IMPROVES
GROCERY AND MARKET

An item of interest deserving of
special mention, which should have ap-
peared in these pages last week, is the
improvements noticeable throughout
the Elton Barnctte Grocery Store. Sew
eral sections of new display shelving
have been installed, together with
counters, show cases. etc, which not
only add to the appearance Of the
store, but shows the enterprising spirit
OF the management. The attractively
dressed show windows will no doubt
attract many inside to buy. We con-

PRESS COMMENT
THE PARKER MEETING

st. Landry Clarion:
The widely advertised and much her
aided meeting called for the purpose of
formally launching the campaign of
Mr.. John NJ. Parker for governor was
held in New Orleans last Thursday
night and the attendance, either in
number or prestige, cannot be referred
to as formidable.
The building in which the meeting
was held has seating capacity of
something like 5000 and at no period
Of the meeting was the building filled
to capacity.
A meeting held in Opelousas with
three thousand present would be
worthy Of attention but in a city that
has a population Of more than 100000
it appears pitiably small.
MIR. Parker's platform IS:
/. TO destroy" the system Of ring
rule.
9. To put the New Orleans police
and fire departments under genuine
Civil Service.
3. To give labor and capital alike
a square DEAL"
4. TO help get natural gas as cheap
fuel and light for New Orleans house
holders.
S. To help build Louisiana State
University into a great institution for
agricultural education,
G. TO perfect the independent oil III
terests Of the state against great cor
porations.
I. TO be the candidate and the gov
ernOr Of no set of men or any faction.
Paragraphs 1. 9 and 4 relate to New
Orleans, the third, fifth and sixth arc
vague and indefinite.
In the seventh paragraph Mr.. Par
ker says that he will not be the can
lidate Of any set Of men or faction and
probably could have added that he
would not be the candidate of an!

The II ,00O acre lease of Chas.
Hartinger, south Of Wakpala, ex-

who own the land included in the
lease and all under good fence have
requested Superintendent Kitch that
no renewal be made on the old
terms, but ask to have it leased to
the highest bidder. In compliance
Herewith Mr.. Kitch has issued
notice for bids and it is expected
that there will be some lively com.
petition for this pasture as the fence
goes with the lease and the success.

pense than the lease fee.
Should this be made a policy to
govern future leasing it will work
considerable hardship on parties
who made three year leases and
built expensive fences with the ex.
pectation Of having the lease re.
newed on expiration. However,
from the standpoint of the Indian,
it is good business judgment as the
lease is worth considerable more
than it was three years ago withou,
