WELL! SILK STOCKINGS TO
GROW ON TREES.

Think Of producing silk stock
ings on cut-over lands. While We
always contended that the cut
over lands would produce almost
any crop, we must confess our ig-
norance of the fact that silk trees
will thrive on this kind of land.
Just to Jog the memory of Louisi-
anians along this important and
newly discovered scheme, Bill
Krebs Of the New Orleans Item
last Saturday published the follow
ing editorial. Read and you will
quickly discern that Tangipahoa
parish stands in line to become
still richer by virtue of rewards
from it's vast cut-over tracts. The
Item says:
President Edenborn, of the
Louisiana Railway and Navigation
Company, is credited with desire
to promote the creation Of a great
silk industry in Louisiana by the
planting of "silk trees" on cut
over Lands. He has definitely ar
ranged for the cultivation of 1000
of such trees on 5-acre tract in
Winn parish.
This is enough to inspire every
woman in the state with the de-
sire to embark on the farming life.
How delightful to go out early in
the morning and pick a new shirt
waist whenever one is going to
town! But they will want to
know how Mr.. Edenborn will
have things arranged. Will one
tree WELD shirtwaists, another silk
hose, another silk neckties, and so
on, or do all sorts of things grow
on one treei
It sounds funny. But there is
nothing funny about Mr. Eden
born when it comes to making
money. Possibly it is more SER
ious than it seems. Hammond

BLINDED AND CRIPPLED Al

Some men who come out of the
great war, probably injured perm
anently. feel that their days OF
usefulness are over. This is an
unfortunate indulgence in pes
simigm.
Numerous ways are being de-
vised whereby wounded soldiers
are able to accomplish much good
work. One of the latest is the
case of a British soldier, who.
blinded and without hands, has
found a way to write with arti.
fetal hands on a specially con.
structed typewriter. The words
that expressed this soldiers
thoughts were, "When you are
fit and able you find there ID
plenty in life worth living for"
He was enabled to accomplish
this by taking a course in train
ing which was offered by the Eng.
lish Government. A special
course has been arranged by the
Federal Board Of Vocational Ed
ucation in America and it is the
duty Of every Red Cross worker,
as well as every patriotic citizen.
to show the disabled men that
there is plenty in life worth liv-
ing for.
