LOAN
WILL BE PUT
THROUGH

While the Victory Loan Campaign
will be more extended than such cam
paigns have usually been in this par
ish, this is not due to any lack of
sentiment in support of the loan, Dat
because many people who are desir-
Gus of buying as much as they can
were not prepared to say just what
they could take at the time. Many
are still paying on their last bonds
and have not yet decided just what
they can do now. Those who have
bought as matter of investment
have taken larger amounts even than
before, while those who are buying
in patriotic support of the Govern
ment and have put all the money
they could spare into previous loans
will not invest so much as before.
1t may be considered certain, how
ever, that this parish will raise its
quota without depending so largely
upon the banks as was considered
probable. Aside from patriotic duty,
the loan is a good investment, as 1t
pays "a per cent interest.
Committees have been pretty well
organized and both men and women
are working hard for successful
campaign.

MILK. THAT CAN
STAND THE
TEST

Food experts of the United States
Government give milk a very i'm
portant place in the diet, attribut.
ing to it qualities difficult to be
found in substitutes 1t is natures
standard food, and except in cases OF
idiosyncrasy is always beneficial, per-
forming functions that decrease ten
dency to arterial hardening and beck
oning youth to remain with you.
On the other hand, it is admitted
that milk may become one of the
most dangerous of foods, if eontami-
mated by improper handling or un-
sanitary surroundings. In fact, may
become a regular incubator of dis
ease germs
Recognizing both these facts, Mr..
Felix Bachemin, proprietor of the
Military Road Dairy Farm, has de-
cided to meet public demand by
placing his milk on sale at the store
of Gus Burant, on New Hampshire
street, Covington, under such sani-
tary conditions as to win the appro-
baton of the most fastidious. Milk
from the Military Road Dairy Farm
has won a reputation that makes its
standard hard to reach. Close study
of the value Of stock foods, the main
tenance of healthy stock and the pro-
duction of a high percentage of cream
or butter fat has resulted in his
ability to place on the market milk
that every lover of pure, rich milk
viii be delighted with. 1t will be
put up in sanitary bottles of sizes to
suit the customer and will be served
fresh from the cleanest of refriger-
ators, either to be drank at the store
or taken home for family use.

ing with full cooperation from the
banks and postoffices. Mr.. Prados
is highly pleased with the outlook
throughout the district and says;
ut is our desire to conduct the
Savings Campaign on strictly, even
severly, impartial basis, with a view
to esta blishing the sale of small gov
ernment securities to people OF mod
crate means as a permanent govern
ment activity. In order to do this
effectively we are limiting our appeal
to the motives of enlightened self
interest and peace time citizenship,
and are making our appeal to all
people as citizens of the country ana
not as mem bers of any particular
class or group.
1T is true that we are aiming to
secure the cooperation and support
of practically all the organized
groups or associations in the coun-
try available, but we are making
our appeal to them entirely on the
basis Of citizenship and their own
interests as citizens and individuals. ;"

Commissioners
Of Poles Released
With Terms

WASHINGTON, May 9,-Provis-
ions in the peace treaty making Dan
zig a free city, establishing Certain
boundaries in the southern portion
or Eastern Prussia in the Allenstein
and Merienwerder circles were com
mended in a statement issued last
night by John F. Smulski, Polish com
missioner in the United States.
"The formal rebirth of The Polish
nation through the peace treaty is so
thrilling, so momcntouG an event" "
Mr.. Smulski declared, "that it is i'm
possible at this time to sit in purely
critical judgment oyer the frontiers
as already announced The Poland
as outlined will have in evce9s Of 30
100000 population. 1t will be the
fifth nation in continental Europe,
1t will be a land of compulsory cdu,
cation, of equal rights for all peo-
pies and all creeds."
Mr. Smulski said that even though
Poland still has wars on the northeast
ern and western sides, the nation
would not falter in the task of holding
the new frontiers Of democracy. The
men and women, he said, who "for
over 1875 years have kept alight this
fame of pure patriotic devotion to
their motherland will fulfill every OBJ
legation which has been made in their
