Sweet Potato Crop

Importance that the sweet potato is

cording to M. Hull, assistant hirti-
culturist Extension Division, who
WAS one of Louisiana's representa-
tives at this conference.
"It is doubtful if any agricultural
problem was ever more thoroughly
discussed by so large a body of ex-
perts," says Mr.. Hull. Every dis
ease to which the sweet potato is heii
came in for dishonorable mention
by the leading plant pathologists of
the country, and remedies were sug.
gested for their prevention and con-
troll. Every phase of planting, cul-
tivating, harvesting, storing and mar
keting was gone into in the fullest
detail, and numerous problems were
worked out that will be permanent
value to every grower of sweet po-
atoes and every storage-house owner.
Had such conference been called
ten or even five years ago it is doubt
ful whether quorum could have
been mustered, but when it is con-
sidered that the value of the sweet
potato has increased more than 80
per cent in the last ten years, that
1t now ranks second in value among
vegetables in the United States, that
the value of the 1917 crop reached
the huge sum of $oO,0OO,0OO and that
of 1918 is estimated at almost $1l7.-
100000, it is not difficult to under
stand why so much interest is be-

Police Jury Accepts
Morgan City Proposition

Late advices from Franklin are to
the effect that the police jury this
morning unanimously accepted the
proposition from the city of Morgan
City as outlined at the mass meeting
held in the City Hall last night. The
jury rescinded its former plans, or
ganized the parish into another road
district, excluding Morgan City and
the fourth ward. The city represent
atives assured the jury that the cleo
tion in Morgan City for $150,OOO
would carry, and that $4,000 would
be turned over to the board of SUI
pervisors of the road district as this
citv's contribution to the road fund.
Harmony prevailed throughout the
meeting. and a spirit of cooperation
was evident between the represent
atives of this city and the Jury.
The jury rescinded the ordinance
calling the electl0n IN the parish, and
prmptly adopted an amended ordi-
nance to meet the plans of Morgan
City. This assures the success of
both the parish and city bond issues,
and means that the people of this
city and the parish will soon be en-
joying the benefits of model roads
and good streets.
An election was held in the Bayou
Black section of Terrebonne parish
Tuesday for the purpose of voting
bonds to build the model road from
Houma to the Assumption line. The
completion of this link will leave on
" the link from Morgan City to
Amelia to be finished in the trunk
line to New Orleans.

gate Cause for Non-Pay-
ment of Contributions
Promised

New Orleans, La, April1.-
Government agents will be sent
to investigate in parishes where
pledges made in the United War
Work Campaign remain uncol-
lected, declared F. A. Hosford,
Director of Collections for Lou
isiana, when interviewed as to
] the progress being made in the
collection of pledges made by the
people o 'fthe state.
"The total Of S1,772,0OO
pledged by the state is record
to be proud Of" said Mr.. Hos
ford, "but these pledges are now
all past due and should be paid.
By a little extra effort on the
part Of collectors in some of the
slower parishes, Louisiana could
maintain her high standards and
be among the first to close her
accounts. The record made last
November, against adverse local
conditions, was splendid.
'1n most of the parishes the
local United War Work Commit
tee organized to collect the un-
paid pledges. In these parishes
the money has been collected and
put where it is available for the
comfort o fthe boys still in SER
vice here and overseas. Several
of the parishes have collected
every pledge and have closed
their account.
Delay in the payment of the
pledges is costing the United War
Work Campaign large expenses
for collection. Where extra eff
fort is not put forth to finish the
job the pledges are really, in ef-
feet, reduced for it costs money
to collect and besides the seven
organizations concerned; the Y.
M. C. A., Y. w. G. A., Knights of
Columbus, A. L. A., Salvation
Army, War Camp Community
Service and Jewish Welfare
are in some instances
having to borrow money to run
on and that is costing them in
terest. The money was cheer
fully pledged by the people and
these organization swill be Sc
riously embarrassed if through
neglect the money isn't collected
Immediately for they have plan
ned its use and have borrowed
in anticipation of its receipts.
'The Louisiana Committee is
urged to go forth in an earnest
effort to complete the task and
help maintain the good record
If the state. AS the United War
Work Fund is under government
supervision it is not at all un-
likely that in localities where col
ections are poor a government
agent will be sent to investigate
he reason.
"The people pledged in good

during his absence, Emperor Lebaudy had reluct-
antly returned to Paris at the urgent request Of
his lawyers to straghten out the tange Here he found
his worthy mother in despair the shocking career Of
her younger son. Max whose escapades and wild extrav

Last Sunday was told the details of his humorng the
whim Of Nile Marsy the French stage beauty by build

importing bulls, picadOrs banderllerOs and the most
famous Of all matadors from Spain.
When Mile. Marsy threw her arms around Max Le-
baudys neck and kissed him. told in these pages last
Sunday was not because she in love with the young
millionaire who had spent small fortune in staging for
her especial benefit real Spanish bull fight.
1t was nothing deeper than her vanity that was
touched by Max's unparalleled prodigality, What he
had done for her would make her than the most
talked about most enved woman in Paris And the
readiness with which he had squandered thousands of
dollars in gratifying her passing whm promised well for
adding still further to her prestige through the magic of
his apparently inexhaustble wealth Certainly she could
well afford to bestow embrace and a warm kiss
on the man who had vowed give her anything she might
desire.
Love was word which at this time had no place in
Mile Marsy scheme of life Like countless other

had to be unusually well filed one to excite more than
mild interest from her.
The story of her life ran like modern fairy tale.
Born in poverty she had to Paris when only child
and for several years had eked meagre living first

time she had arrived not only brilliant actress,
but the regnng beauty and the best dressed woman

She the first to adorn her hats and gowns

morning at of her country estates.
But Max Lebaudy, his brain afame with wine and the
excitement of the bull fight took quite different view
of Mile Marsys affectonate careSses AS he felt her
soft arms creep around his neck and her lips press
decousy against his he convinced that at last he
had the love of the enchanting in the
world.
So firmly convinced he of this that he went to

nothing about this will until he his death bed
