Armistice Brought Change

The workers in the Navy Club
were not alone in this. Every other
club, shelter" hut, welfare, religi-
GUS and civic organization was, SO
far as possible, doing the same
thing.
But then came the armistlce and
with it an extraordinary change.
Mrs. Hamilton, who had made her
self the mother" Of the Navy Club
by her unceasing efforts in its be-
half, found the extent Of this change
when she approached prominent
society woman for a contribution
in support Of the new movement be-
gun by the club.
"My DEAR" said this society wom-
an, while the war was on it was a
matter of patriotism, and l was
glad to help. But now-I am bored
to death"
Coincident with this loss of inter
est among the former welfare work
ers came the rush on the part of al
most every enlisted mar who could
do so to leave the navy.
Something has got to be done,"
said Mrs. Hamilton. 1.-THE Navy
Club il not ready to quit. The de-
moralization in the service must be
checked, and in New York we are
trying to start the nucleus of what
may become a national movement.
Permanent Club Sought
eve have decided to try to estab-
lish a permanent clubhouse in this
city for the enlisted men in the navy
and marine corps. We believe some
uch place can do a great deal Of
rood if the spirit among the men is
% be revived and preserved. The
United States must have a navy,
md New York City is becoming the
maritime center Of the world.
eve must, we absolutely must, do
our share. It is true there are four
cen organizations in the city which
are engaged in welfare work for
sailors, but Of these, thirteen are
helping men In the mercantile ma
rine only. 1t is generally conceded
that some such place as conten-
plated by the Navy Club Is needed
and the officers Of the navy are be-
hind it.
$50 what we are proposing to do
is this:
1--WE have taken an option on the
Belmont house, in East Forty-hrst
Street, and intend to buy it from the
funds we collect in the campaign.
We will need about 100000. The
Belmont house is really a combina-
ton Of two houses, and beds can be
placed in it to accommodate 129
sailors, in addition to the club fea-
lures now provided at the rooms in
Fifth Avenue.

occupation, a swinging away from
the grim and ugly business Of death
and killing-or was it something
more permanent, something vital
and defective which had to be dealt
with now if the navy was to be re-
stored to its proper usefulness in
the future?
"World Is Burning''
The meeting reflected the many
troubles through which the nation
IS passing. One speaker reported
that very great man, whose wealth
ran into hundreds Of millions, had
advised him to do nothing for the
time along the lines contemplated
by the Navy Club.
"The world is burning" the
great man had said. "Other and
bigger problems are pressing. The
war is over. This is not the time to
coddle the sailor. Let it go, for the
time
Them too, there were the indus
trial problems. Labor and capital
were at each others throats. Strikes
were constantly being called. Radi-
calism needed to be stamped out.

fed secretly by enemies Of govern
ment and American institutions. The

Lord Meadowbank, the next

it is for this days meeting to es-

The speech was made at meet
ing attended by representatives Of
the highest officers of the sea branch
Of the war service. They had gone
there under instructions from their
superior officers to take part in what
went on A telegram had been read
from Assistant Secretary of the
Navy Roosevelt, indorsing the OBJ
ject Of the gathering. Secretary
Daniels was reported to be squarely
behind It. At least three admirals
were represented by subordinate
officers.
The speaker, it was quite ap-
parent, had not been carried OFF his
feet by excitement or emotion in
saying what he did about the con-
aitions in the navy. He obviously
had planned his speech and had con-
suited his superior officer on what
to say

Now this same history-making
structure is to become the headouar-
tiers of a new fight-that is, if the
plans made by the Navy Club for

in the navy and marine corps go
through-a fight to restore the shat

constituent at public meeting in
this city last week by asserting that
there was probably not another
power in the world which had SUI
fered such amazing decentralization
among its sea fighting forces as had
the United States since the armis-
tice. He said he doubted if we
could send more than one battleship
into fighting service at the present

the men in the navy? The war was
over, and the navy was, for the mo-

TWO GENERAL METHODS OF
HANDLING PIGS IN
WINTER.

When the fall pig crop has been
weaned the future management
of the hogs becomes of paramount
interest to the grower. Special
lists of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture report two
general methods for the profitable
handling of fall pigs during the
winter. One system is to push
the hogs as rapidly as possible in
order to sell them on the market
before the hot weather Of the fol-
lowing summer. This really is
the dollhouse" method of pro-
ducing pork, as the animals are
given extra care and feed in rush
ing them toward rapid maturity.
This method involves particularly
good housing for the hogs, as pro-
lection from the severe weather
of winter in the colder locations
is essential. One of the most i'm
portant factors is clean bedding.
Above all things fall pigs should
never be allowed to sleep in damp
bedding, as it is a prolific source
of colds and pneumonia.
Another method of carrying fail
pigs through the winter is 20
maintain the animals on a good
growing ration which is relatively

LOUISIANA SUGAR NEWS.

With only Is per cent OF the fac
tories in the State still grinding
reports now coming in from the
different parishes indicate just
how far short the crop has fallen
under the first estimates made by
the factory owners, which were
themselves distressingly short. An
official of one Of the associations
said that there is hardly factory
that will make what it was es-
TINTED to make at the beginning
Of the season. Longview factory
in st. James will finish Saturday
or Sunday with approximately a
AZ per cent crop. From Lafourche
Crossing to Donaidsonville along
Bayou Lafourche the crop Will
reach only 25 to 80 per cent.
From Lafourche Crossing down to
the Lafourche delta the crops viii
show up very much better than IN
the upper Lafourche country. But
even there it would be hard to
find a single plantation that Will
show up better than 40 per cent
on it's 1919 production. Laurel

ground $1,000 tons last year. ms

BEES GIVE GOOD RETURNS
ON INVESTMENT.

Beekeeping, like many other
lines of agriculture, presents an
attractive and profitable source OF
revenue to any one who will give
Just a small amount of time to
same according to e. c. Davis,
specialist in bee culture, Exten-
sion Division. Louisiana State
University. 1t requires less con-
slant devotion, except during the
main honey-fow, than almost any
other country pursuit, therefore it
should be attractive to the man or
woman who has a few hours of
spar. time each week.
"The first investment in col
orv Of bees," says DR.. Davis, is
the only investment for a number
of years. 1t is not necessary to
plant anything for bees to gather
nectar from, as most localities
have hundreds Of varieties of nee
tar-secreting flowers. and the bees
will fly several miles if necessary
to get this nectar. Honey is made
from nectar gathered from these
flowers, it is taken into the hive,
there the water is evaporated out
of it, and it is condensed into a
delicious and wholesome food.
"The shortage Of sugar calls
for more honey production next
year and, as it's production is os
easy if done in the modern way,
there should be an increased
force of honey producers in the
state of Louisiana.
