CROSS OCEAN WITHOUT STOP.
British and American Aviators Fly
Across the Atlantic in 16 Hours.

Flying distance of over 1900
miles across the ocean in sixteen
hours and twelve minutes, Captain
John Alcock, an English aviator, and
Lieutenant w. Brown, an American,
accomplished last Sunday the first
nonstop flight ever made across the
Atlantic ocean. The two intrepid
fliers sailed through the heavens
from the shores Of New Foundland
and landed at Cliffden wireless sta
ton in ireland, a distance Of over
1900 miles But little heralded, their
feat comes as a surprise to most of
the world, but this reflects in no
way the glory that is theirs. Flying
in Vickers- Vimy 'plane, they brav-
ed the elements and made reality
of the far-fetched dream of those
who have thought Of the fight as a
future possibility. But little descrip-
ton of the fight can be obtained at
present, both Of the aviators giving
but modest statements of their ac-
complishment which entities them to
the capital prize offered by the Lon
don Daily Mail for the first nonstop
flight made across the Atlantic.

SEVEN DAYS UNDER FIRE.
Home Boy Sees Service at Front as
Member of Engineers Regiment.

Private Leopold Jambois of Fau-
bourg la Pipe, writes the Chief from
Camp sIeven, Fitchburg, Mass, un-
der date of June IS, in which he
says that he expects to be sent to
Camp Taylor, KY, to be discharged.
Young Jambois was a member of the
l21st Regiment Engineers eight rail-
Way) which recently returned from
overseas. He encloses in his letter
Che following clipping from the Bos-

tThe 21st Regiment Engineers
eight railway is the last of the
American railway regiments to re-
turn from France. The regiment
was the First American army serving
Ias its light railway regiment in all it's
campaigns in the work Of transport
ing troops, rations and munitions
from the standard gauge railroads
to the trench and battery positions.
The first two battalions Of the regi-
fnent, by coincidence, returned on the
same ship that took them to France
The President Grant. The regiment
was recruited at Camp Grant, Ill, in
September, 1917, and became known
as the orphan regiment, owing to the
fact that it was not made part Of the
division then at Camp Grant. The
name stuck to the organization
throughout its service in France,
for it was never a part of
any division at the front. Men
who were formally railroad con-
/ ductors, engineers, firemen and brake
men made up the personel of the
regiment, which was recruited from
Ininety-fve railroads. Shortly after
arrival in France the regiment was
sent to the Toul sector and began the
preparations for the st. Mihiel of
|=fensive by the construction Of light
railways. At the time Of the Of
fensive detachment of twenty y-seven
mer and two lieutenants remained
under harassing, shell fire for seven
days before they considered their
work was in such shape as to permit
their withdrawal The regiment has
been cited for meritorious service

Sweet Potato Value.

1t is doubtful If the average Louis
lana farmer realizes that sweet Eo-
tatoes ranked second in value per
}acre among our staple crops in 1918.
With a value of $96 per acre, his
valuable root crop almost doubled
that Of cotton at $56.50, and was
nearly four times that of Germ at
$25.76. With ant acreage Of Ct 600,
averaging rs bushels, Louisiana pro-
duced 4,875,000 bushels which
brought the farmers almost six and
Ia quarter million dollars. While this
establishes a new record for our
|state, the indications are that 1919
will surpass it en- every point.
The farmer looking about for q
ready money crop as q substitute tor
his reduced acreage in cotton IS seiz-
ttlas sweet
lie reflects that the average per acre
yield of cotton for 1918, in Louisi-
ana, was only 1853 pounds as COM
pared to rs bushels of sweet pota-
toes, it takes no lengthy argument
with himself to see that he is going
to be considerably ahead as result Of
this substitution. Bean and Irish po-
#tato growers are preparing to follow
a large percentage Of their acreage
with sweet potats ses. These Two
crops leave the land in an ideal con-
dition for sweet potatoes, both from
a standpoint of fertility and tillagc.
With commercial storage houses be-
ing erected in all parts of the state
the farmer will be assured ready
market for every bushel of potatoes
that he can produce. M. Hull, as

Won't Happen Again.

A farmer who, upon the outbreak
of hog cholera in his community, had
decided to vaccinate his hogs, chang
ed his mind after receiving the serum,
reports B. M. Jackson, farm demon
stration agent in Duachita parish.
His neighbors vaccinated and have
had no losses, while he has lost prac-
tically his entire herd. This was a
severe lesson for this man, but as his
experience has been given a great
deal of publicity it will doubtless
prove to be a good object lesson for
the parish, says Mr. Jackson.
