tested, but the border was left open.
Finally, needing the pleas of its peo-
pie, the Austro-Hungarian govern
ment acted and on the pretext that
all Serbian pigs were diseased, placed
an embargo on them.
up to that time the two govern
ments had more or less of friandly
understanding. After this both sides
became irritated and practiced every
method of hampering each other in
international trade. Political leaders
in Serbia seized upon the pig Incl
dent. Austro- Hungarian diplomats
took up the question. Misunder-
standings arose over it. The embargo
was manipulated until the pig Incl
dent supplemented many other poll
ticai questions. When it grew too
old for political propaganda, other
questions were built out of it, and
thus the world war was brought on.

GOOD ROADS ARE CHEAPER
THAN THE POOR ONES

In deciding whether or not ne
can afford to vote to tax himself
for better roads, the farmer should
first determine as accurately as pos
sible what his expense for hauling
is for a year. He should then esti-
mate how much of this expense
would be saved if there were hard
surfaced roads all the way to town.
No further argument viii then be
necessary. He will readily see that
good roads mean big reduction IN
that part for overhead which covers
hauling-and hauling of some sort
is being done practically the year
round.
Louisiana farmers, however, IN
MANY parishes are thoroughly awak-
ened to the value of improved roads,
as the voting of the millions OF dol
lars for that purpose during the
last wear will testify. A few months
more of excessive rainfall and the
presence of a few thousand more

more backward communities to fan

And this time she succeeded. She
spent a week with a tunneling COM

fore her sergeant discovered that
there was a girl in the ranks. Then
she was put under arrest at once,
and after repeated cross-examina-
tons she was finally sent to a con-
vent for detention. Here she was
held for five weeks, after which
she was sent back to England, but
was forbidden to write or speak Of
her adventure until the war was
over.
One cannot help but think that
the military authorities who arrest
ed were less angry than grateful.
For she had shown them how Ger

ness Of the French local officials in

TO Use ARPLANE IN
MAKING CHART OF
The ANTARCTIC
Expedition to Fly to Pole and
Spend Seven Years

London, Nov. 6.-John L. Cope,
leader and organizer of the British
Imperial Antarctic Expedition, states
that the preparations for his flight
to the South Pole are well advanced
Experts are now engaged in design
ing the plane in which the flight
will be made.
eve have received a terrible
blow in the death of Brigadier
General Lee, who had signed on
with the expedition as chief of the
aeronautical staff and would have
piloted the plane to the South Pole, F"
said Mr.. Cope. Il am now in nego-
tiation with one of the most famous
airmen in the world, who, l believe
will take the place of General Lee.
l cannot disclose his name, but he
has won the Victoria Cross as well
as the Distinguished Cross for his
magnificent exploits as an airman
on the western front"
Mr.. Cope said he was not merely
going to fly to the pole, but that
he intended to use the airrlane
throughout the six or seven years
the expedition would be on the ice.
The Antartic had never been chart
ed properly, he said, owing to the
fact that many parts were quite in
accessible on foot. 1t is his intention
to chart the whole Antartic from
the air.
Second in Command to Mr.. Cope
will be Ernest Joyce, who accompa.

the South Pole, and was member
of both Shackleton expeditions.

STORE THE LARGE
SWEET POTATO CROP

''The sweet potato crop in all the
Southern states is unusually good
this year and there is every proba-
bility that more potatoes will be
harvested this fall than ever be-
FORE" says w. R. Perkins, director
of extension, Louisiana State Uni
versity. ''The shipment north will
have to be discontinued largely
when cold weather comes in Deem
Der and the local demand for po-
tatoes will not be sufficient to util-
ize the surplus produced. If they
are dumped on the market during
the next two months the price will
undoubtedly fall to a point below
the cost Of production.
''The crop must be stored. The
ordinary bank is good some times,
but it is a .pretty well established
fact that under average conditions
this method is not over fifty per
cent efficient. Potatoes can be saw
ed in banks when they are proper
ly cured before banking and are
then stored so as to be kept dry and
well protected from great variations
in temperature.
''The modern curing house is the
best method that has been suggested
for saving potatoes and every farm
er or every community Of farmers
who have a surplus of potatoes are
urged to take steps toward building
such house or of improvising one
from an old building so that the po-
tatoes can be cured than stored
either in a house or by banking.
'Plans for houses of any size,
from a few hundred bushel capacity
I'D, as well as directions for cur
ing the potatoes, can be had from
the extension department of the
Louisiana State University, or by
applying to the county agent.
Potatoes are a very important
food crop in Louisiana and could be
had almost the year round if pro-
visions were made for properly
curing and storing them. AS a
money crop they sell better after
Christmas than before and the de-
mand always exceeds the supply at
that time. Do not allow the pota-
toes to rot but provide a proper
storage house for them"

MAD WAR ESCAPADE
WOMAN SOLDIER in
BRITISH ARMY
Spends Week With Tunnel

FINALLY SENT HOME
Miss Lawrence Forbidden to
Speak of Experiences
During War

London, Nov. 5.-The strange
story of Miss Dorothy Lawrence,
the only British woman soldier, late
of the Royal Engineers, Fifty-frst
Division, 10th Tunneling Company
B. E. F., has just been issued in
book form by John Lane. 1t forms
one of the oldest documents to
come out of the war, and the story
it reveals has lifted the diminutive
figure of Miss Lawrence, an Eng
lish newspaper woman, to the pro-
portions of a national heroine.
In the old days, it was not UNI
common for a woman to enlist as
a sailor or a soldier and nowadays
the example of the Russian woman
soldiers has become widely known.
But for a British woman to enter
the combatant ranks of the British
army is a thing until now unheard
of. Yet Miss Lawrence contrived to
reach the British front at Albert in
1915, and to serve for more than
a week in the 10th Tunneling Com
pany, R. E., attached to the famous
Fifty-first Division.
Miss Lawrence rode on ram

summer of 1915 to Creil, one of the
French base camps back Of the
fighting line. Here she applied fol
and received a safe conduct from
the French up to Senlis, whence the
French elected her. She got around
the election order, however, by es
Gaping into SenIis forest and sleep

COTTON CROP in THE
STATE LIGHTEST
EVER KNOWN
Condition Decreases During
Month; That in Field is
Practically Ruined
LONG WET SEASON
CAUSES THE DAMAGE
Deterioration of the Great
Money Producer is Mark
in Every Section

All doubt has vanished that the
Louisiana cotton crop of 1919 is
one of the shortest gathered since
records began to be kept, accord
ing to John s. Dennee, field agent
for the United States bureau of
crop estimates, in a report issued
Friday of last week, in which he
says:
within the past month the crop
has steadily lost in condition. The
weather was again the dominating
factor. Summer temperatures and
torrential rains were the principal
agencies serving to reduce the crop
that had come to be regarded as
having already reached an irredu-
chile minimum.
"Open cotton in the fields is SO
badly damaged in localities as hard
ly to be worth picking. Fields are
as muddy as can be. In the best
producing areas, it is not possible
to get into some fields to pick what
cotton is left.
boil weevils have taken a heavy
toll, and army worms ably assisted
in the work of devastation.
Correspondents say about IS per
cent Of the crop is picked and that
ginning is speeded up so that farm
ers may get the benefit of the pre-
vailing high prices for the staple.
"a condition of 80 per cent on
October Is is the average of opin-
ions of several hundreds of our crop
correspondents reporting on condi-
ton as of that date, and is the
figure adopted by this bureau.
mo comparisons exist for past
years. 1t is not practicable, there
fore, for a quantitive interpreta-
ton of this condition figure to be
made; hence no indicated produc.
ton figures are here given.
''The publication of a cotton con-
dition report as of October rs is an
unusual procedure. A COMPRESSION.
al resolution recently adopted calls
for cotton condition report as Of
that date"
Congress directed that a new es.
innate as of October Is be prepar.
ed because members from southern
states insisted that the September
25 crop forecast was erroneous, the
department of agriculture not hav-
ing taken abandoned acreage into
consideration in its preparation. To.
days report showed decline of 80
points during the month as com
pared with a decline of 7 points
shown by the September estimate
and an average decline of less thar
five points on the September date
during the ten preceding years.

time in order to begin the planting
of the biggest rice crop ever under
taken in this parish.
In the western portion of St.
Landry several deep wells are in
the course of construction, farmers
are optimistic over the idea of Civ
ing more attention to the highest
priced cereal that can be produced
in this state. The large fortunes
made by many farmers planting rice
this year in this parish has induced
hundreds of landowners to fix their
properties for the successful and
profitable cultivation of big rice
crop in 1920.
Experts claim that it will be years
before the price of rice is reduced.
The war has brought about an I'M
precedented demand for one of the
greatest foods grown in America,
and already it is said the demand
is far ahead of the contemplated sup
ply for years to come.
Taking time by the forelock, Ope-
lousas business men have cast their
eyes around for rice mill, and al
ready assurances are made by lead
ing citizens that the 1920 st. Lam
dry rice crop will be milled and mar
keted in Opelousas land in>the short
course of few years Opelousas will
be the chief rice market of the

Buchs, Switzerland, Nov. 5.--Pigs,
just the ordinary barnyard variety,
brought on the great war. This is
the latest contribution from the roy
al houses of the Central Empires
submitted for historical reference
as the cause of the big conflict. 1t
is put forth seriously by no less a
parsonage than Count Carl Seilern,
