EVERY farm FAMILY
SHOULD OWN A COW
A Good Average Cow Will Produce
Enough Milk Products for a -
Family Of Six.

Every farm should own a cow"
says c. H. Staples. dairy specialist, Elk.
tension Division, L. S. U. "A good av.
erage cow will produce enough milk,
butter, cottage cheese and buttermilk
for family Of six. These products
will very largely take the place OF
meat, which can be sold for cash. The
COW will produce, also, nine tons of
manure annually, which, applied to the
garden, will provide an abundance OF
vegetables for every day in the year.
She will also produce a calf each year,
It's value depending on the worth OF
the sire.
"For feed this COW will require one
ton of legume hay, one ton of grain,
one acre of rye Or oat pasture, and two
acres O. permanent pasture"

Good Weather and
Better Health.

After another long siege
rain with occasional sleet, the
weather has settled to seemingly
absolutely fair with the brightest
of warm sunshine moderating the
outdoors to a spring time atmos,
phere. With the warmer tenn
perature has come a decided i'm.
provement in the patients suffer-
ing with influenza and general
bad colds. The case of Mrs. P.
E.Greenlaw is we'll under control.
While the lungs are still slightly
affected, the trouble has not
spread at all. Mrs. M. Bateman
is able now to sit up a short while
each day. Mrs. N. D. Stringer
is entirely over pneumonia but is
suffering considerably yet from
an acute inflammation which has
settled in the lower limbs. Mrs.
A. P. Tins, while considered
no better is still holding her own
which her family consider very
hopeful. The McCarty baby is
still critically ill while Lucas
Burkhalter passed the pneumonia
crisis Sunday night and is slightly
improved today. Mrs. Welch is
noticeably better while Miss Leila
Varnado, the Thigpens, Johnsons
Foils, Kimberlins and Magees
are all convalescing.
There are numerous cases of a
mild form of influenza, mostly
among the school children, but
the situation seems to be we'll in
hand now.
The only fatality in our town
from the disease was thu Italian,
brother-i -in-law of Steve Lorio, who
led Friday afternoon from pneu-
monia.

Auto Owners Must
Have License Tags

Every automobile driver on
the public Ii!hways must have
O. license tag b>th o. the front
and rear of his car. The Legis-
lature passed an act last year
making it a crime for any kind
of motor vehicle to be run with
out these tags and makes the
owner subject to fine or i'm
prisonmeut. The license be-
comes delinquent on February j..
We understand that this
matter will be called to the at
tention of the Grand Jury at

Farming and Other Possibili-
ties of Our Parish.

Times come in the lives of in
dividuals, municipalities and ma.
tions, when it becomes positively
necessary that they take stock
and get fresh grip Oh those
things that concern their very
life.
We must either 60 forward or
backward. We can't stand still
long before developing "dry rot. !"
One of the biggest facts en-
phasizsd by the great war is that
the preservation and progress of
man depends upon the annaal
products of Mother Earth. All
big enterprises hark back to The
farmer OF what use would i'm.
mense industrial, commercial and
n military enterprises be without
= him? The great world struggle
thru which we have just passed
sie' has been an experience to make
rresia farmers. Young men have learn
Ana ID what wonderful benefit it is

they shaeen called to the vital import
session snce of the products of the farm,
nee suhave given the industry new i'm.
so1 petus.
Now our parish, considering
her climatic conditions and fine
land, where three good crops can
be raised on the same land in one
year, ought to make folks take
notice. Dou't you know that
even in the middle states, their
one crop year is often damaged
by the shortness of the cropping
season? Then what sbout the
narthern states? Some system OF
telling the world about our ad-
vantages would be wise.

THIEF
HELPS RECOVER
LOOT HE SOLD

Additional ,jewelry worth $11O.5O, ac-
cording to the statement of of s. A.
Daniels, proprietor of the jewelry
store from which it was stolen by his
janitor, Willie James Mitchell, has
been recovered by Sheriff Harvey and
Deputy Summers since Monday even
ing when the negro boy was-sentenced
by Judge Harper for having stolen a
watch chain and gold ring. The list
of recovered property includes:
Watch chain, stick pin, pair solid
gold cuff buttons and solid gold col
lar buttons, sold to Frank Brooks, col
ored, and recovered from him.
Cameo finger ring, recovered from
Alverta Mann, colored.
Gold watch and chain, two lockets,
necklace, stickpin and cameo finger
ring, recovered from Scott Murphy
and wife, colored.
Lavaliere, recovered from Georgia

AS result of this additional thiev-
ing, which had not been fastened upon
him when he faced Judge Harper
Monday evening, Mitchell was yester-
day given 10 months or fine of $75 on
a new charge of stealing.
But Willie James was not the only
culprit developed in the case, for
when he took the officers to the home
of Scott Murphy, to whom he had sold
the articles listed above, Murphy and
his wife stoutly denied they had any
of the jewelry. After considerable ef-
fort, however, it was discovered that,
upon first learning of Mitchell'3 arrest
they had taken the articles to field
on Railroad street, far from their
home, and buried them, where they
were subsequently found Murphy and
his wife were arrested ana taken
before Judge Harper on charges cf re-
ceiving stolen property, to which they
plead guilty, the man being fined SIS
and the woman $33.10, including
costs
Sheriff Harvey announced today that
any others who have received stolen
goods from Mitchell should rcIort to
him at once. Georgia Henderson
brought the lavaliere to him when
she read of Mitchell's arrest, declor-
ing he had sent it to her from Char les
ton where he went some time ago
Mitchell, after admitting the whole
sale thieving, told the officers ;hdt lie
did most of it in the mornings when

STORE BURNING
Is SOLVED But
CULPRIT SLIPS
FROM POLICE
Walks Calmly Out Of His Door While
Chief Waits and Sheriff Hunts
Suspected Loot

A little drama entitled He Walked
Right In and Sat Right Down While
the Culprit Walked Away" or Where
Was Chief Johnson?" was enacted
Wednesday evening at the home of
John Brown, colored, when Sheriff
Harvey and the police chief went to
the house, with a search warrant,
seeking to solve the mystery of the
burglary and firing of Charlie Wes-
Iey's store on North Lee street the
nj hit before.
The search resulted in the mystery
being at least partially solved, the
guilt being fixed upon Brown by the
stolen goods being found in his house,
but while the officers were in his
house Brown walked out-and hasn't
been seen since.
The small store was robbed and then
set afire early yesterday morning, as
told in The Times ecorder yester-
day afternoon The officers searchd
all day for evidence that would war
rant an arrest, but unsuccessfully. FL
nally some one overheard Browns
wife tell of the fine outfit of hams,
side meat and snuff he had brought in.
This was reported to Wesley, who re-
ported it to Chief Johnson. The lat
ter enlisted the aid of Sheriff Harvey,
who secured a search warrant, and
the two hurried about supper time to
Browns cabin.
Brown and his wife were at home,
eating supper. The officers were wei
coined Brown remained unconcerned-
ly at the table, and Chief Johnson sat
down to wait while Sheriff Harvey en-
tered another room and began the
search. The hunt went on unsuccess-
fully for some little time, and was
about to be given up when Brown nm
ished eating, got up casually, saun-
tered toward the door, remarked to
Wesley, who was there, upon his hard
luck" and walked out and away.
In a few minutes more Sheriff Har-
yey located two sacks behind piece
of furniture, and he called Chief john
son 10 COllS duu LIONO INV ANA
niture. The sacks proved to be filled
with loot, whereupon Sheriff Harvey
asked where Brown was, intending
to place him under arrest. But John
had vanished and Chief Johnson re-
ported he did not know
81 sure did hate letting that Niger
get away said Chief Johnson today.
He just walked out and didn't
think thing about it, not suspectlng
he was going to try to get away"
when they returned to the court
house a warrant was taken out before
Justice McMath by Sheriff Harvey
against Brown charging burglary and
arson.
Brown has been working on the ma
larial drainage project.
