IN MEMORIAM

In sad but loving remembrance OF
rur dear daughter, Barbara Vaughn,
who departed this life six months
ago, December 18th, 1918.
The rolling streams OF life roA on,
But still the vacant chair,
Recalls the love, the voice, the smile
Of one who once sat there
The flowers we lay upon her grave
May w:ther ard decay,
But the love we bore for her.
VIII never fade away.
Gone from life, yes gone forever,
Tear dimmed eyes shall look in
vain
Then we'll meet our love again
By your bedside we sat and watched
you.
Pass from life to yonder blassful
shore,
Now we'll wait and trust in Jesus
Till we meet to part no more.
141-1p. BY Mother and rabher.

Upwards of two hundred men who

Ext few of these received 4 hand
some silver pin or button as an ir"
sigma of service and those who did
not receive the pin at the time of

ing at the office. There are many of
cur returned boys who have not reg
istered as yet but it is requested
that those who have not done so will
call at the w. c. c. S. building as
soon as convenient for the purpose,
as it is the desire of the local COM

Cross to have complete list to in
clude every soldier, sailor or ma
rine in city and country, who was
enlisted, arafted, or in any inducted
into the service whether in camn in
the United States or overseas, but

reasons for tlIsir wish to have this

Cooling Stations for Milk.

Cooling OF receiving stations for
milk are to be established soon at
Hammond, Loranger and KentWood,
all in Tangipahoa parish, according
to plans inaugurated at the recent
meeting Of the Louisiana Dairymen's
Association. This section was the
first in the state to start in the dairy
business and it now supplies the city
Of New Orleans with most of it's
whole milk The proposed receiving
stations will enable the dairymen to
obviate much of the losses from
sour milk which now amounts to sew
eral thousand dollars year, accord
ing to c. H, Staples, dairy husband
man, Extension Division, Louisiana

putting the milk stations into opera

Brain Versus Brawn.

Z D.
'Tn developing civilization brains
are more useful than muscle. But
they are hardly more useful to their
pessessois if modern standards OF
appraisement are to apply.
"The average lawyer earns less
than $500 per annuIn, the average
teacher less than 5000. The income
of the average physician is said to be
about $500 per year. The average
country editor lives on apples, vcge-
tables and the gratitude of his sub
scribers. In tie first three occupa-
tons, years of patient study, close
application and earnest work are the
price of efficiency. Editing country
weekly is an endurance test strictly
! "Yet on July A, mug named
Jess Willard, who was once a hobo,
lodged military service in the late
war and who probably never did an
honest days work in his life, will
split in advance $157,500 with his
prize ring opponent for about 36
minutes of fighting.
"Willard will get more in one min
ute than the average doctor, lawyer,
teacher or editor gets in year. He
will receive more in one minute than
the average American soldier who
fought for world liberty will get
the whole time of his enlistment.
at is difficult to understand the
civilization that winks at this sort of
thing and arraigns Russian ignor-
ance and anarchy It is difficult to
anprea:c-te the point of view of a
ps--,u. who cheer their returning
heroes and pay an exposed Stacker a
fortune to face trained pugilist,
"The soldiers who turned their
backs on home, position and comfort
to face the German foe have better
idea of the fitness Of things. A petit
tion has been sent to the Governor of
Ohio by the Ohio soldiers in the army
of occupation urging him to prevent
the Willard-Dempsey affair on the
ground that Willard was Stacker.
He didn't fight when fighting counted
in the history of the worlds progress.
He shouldn't be permitted to fight
now.
at is not likely that the wishes of
the soldiers will prevail The dollars
which the championship fight will
bring to Ohio constitute more po-
tent influence than the views Of its
gallant soldiers. But they have the
only decent, true, Godlike side of the
proposition just the same.
