BOOSTERS SOURCE OF BIG
 LOSS IN POULTRYYARp
By ?. c. HOLDEN

Boosters allowed to run with the hens are a source of an enormous loss every year to the farmers and poultry raisers. The annual loss resulting from the production of fertile eggs is placed at s15,000.000.
 The reason for this is that fertile eggs spoil or become unfit for market much more quickly in hot weather than infertile eggs do.
 Recently U. s. government experts conducted an experiment in Kansas to ascertain the comparative loss of fer tile and infertile eggs.
 Ten thousand eggs were collected

 slain; Nor pay for all our dead and all.,the

 have breath, Must live deformed and crippled to
 their death: For those who nevermore shall see the

Demonstrated

1t was our privilege on Thurs
day last, to witness the demon
stration of the Duplex four whee
drive tractor truck in road work
ing and to add our approval to
the hearty endorsement given
the splendid machine by every
one seeing the work done.
The Motor Sales and Service
Co., Agents for the tractor, by
way of showing what could be
done by the powerful machine,
worked about one. half mile of
the worst road in the parish,
doing it well and at an estimated
cost far below the methods en-
ployed heretofore, also with a
great saving Of time, and the
spectators were unable to re.
strain their enthusiasm.
We learn that this Duplex four
wheel drive tractor truck is
endorsed by the Louisiana State
Engineers and has already been
purchased by police Jurors Of six
of the parishes, to be used in
road construction. 1t is estimat-
ed that the teams now being used
on our parish road work would
more than pay for the truck
even after reserving two of the
best pairs of mules for emergen.
cy work, the cost of maintenance
also beiag in favor Of the tractor
against the mules.
The question of it's use on the
roads of our parish is to be later
taken under advisement by the
police jury.

Test Case in Bond
Issue Decided.

At a special session of court
held here Thursday a hearing
was gived in the test case of the
Bond Issue in the parish for the
building OF good roads. Judge
P. B. Carter decided in favor of
the legality of the proceeding,
whereupon an immediate appeal
was taken to the higher court
with the hope of getting a
prompt decision that will enable
the contractors to begin work on
the roads with no further delay.

Victory Service.

The union service held at the
.Baptish church on Sunday to do
honor to the returning soldiers
was beautiful, comfortable and
inspiring.
The program was carried out
iu detail, the special music being
very fine as were also the ad-
dresses and readings. The
service flags were demobilized,
about half the boys being present
or reported returned, with no
gold or silver stars on eitherfag
The presentation by the feder-
alton of beautiful National and
Christian flags to each of the
churches, was impressive.

/ pected to have every citizen carry his
own share Of the quota, instead Of let

mittees will hear appeals from those
who consider their quota too high.
In most instances, the same loyal
workers who carried the former loans
to success will form the committees on
the Victory Loan. At recent state
conferences they expressed confidence

and their enthusiasm is certain to car.

Treasury department officials who
have sounded out the sentiment of the
whole country are confident that the
people are willing to lend to their
country for the purpose Of finishing
the job and paying the war bills. They
understand the gigantic work that is
still going on, and the necessity OF
bringing the boys back home; of Civ
ing the wounded men that education
and instruction which will enable them
to get fresh start. The Government
has still a big task before it, and the
expenditures are stiil large. But they
