MEAT PRODUCERS
DID FULL DUTY
Increase in American Hogs viii
Help to Meet World Fat
Shortage.
FARMERS SAVE SITUATION
Government Justified In Stimulation
Of Pork Production-Sevenfold
Increase Over Pre-
War Exports.

Through increased production and
conservation we will be able this year
to export seven times our pre-war
average exports Of pork products.
With the heavy demands added in car
ing for the millions who have been
freed from German oppression, the
Department Of Agriculture and the
Food Administration are justified to-
day In our every action Of stimulation
of hog production. In the coming year
the greatest world shortage will be In
fats, and pork Will help to save this
situation. The efficacy Of the policy
Of stimulated production has built up
in this country supplies which will en-
able us to supply very large part OF
the fat deficiency Of the world. In
beef there must be shortage In Eu-
rope, due largely to limited refrigera-
tor ship capacity. All freezer ships
available, however, will be filled BY
America, Argentine and Australia.
The contribution made by the pro
ducers Of this country to the war pro-
gram as applying particularly to ami
NAL food products is illustrated by the
following:
Reports compiled by the q. S. De
partment of Agriculture indicate an
increase in cattle Of 10,238,000 head
and 12,441 900 hogs. These figures
were compiled to January 1 last.
In this period there was a decrease
In sheep of $4,000 head. The indica-
tons are that this decrease will show
an increase, according to recent re.
ports.
Since January / unofficial iniorma.
not less than 8 per cent and mo-
more than Is per cent. as compared
with one year ago, with an increase In
the average weight.
Following the request Of the q. s
Food Administration for an increase
In hog production for marketing In the
fall Of 1918 and the spring Of 1919 the
increase may yield not less than 1,600,'
100000 pounds more Of pork products
than were available last year. With.
out this increase the shipping program
arranged BY Mr.. Hoover regarding an.
imal food products would have been
impossible.
The dressed hog products during thu
three months ending September 30
1917, amounted to 903, 172. 900 pounds
while for the corresponding months OF
1918 the dressed hog products totaled
1,277, $50, 900, an Increase of over S74s
100000 pounds for the quarter.
During the same period for 1917 the
records Of inspected slaughter OF
dressed beef showed 1,263, 900, O0C
pounds as against 1.454, 600, 900 pounds
for the three month period ending
September !, this year.

High Prices Declining Some.

Reports from Chicago state
that a decline of s cents has taken
place in cheese this week, 6 cents
in butter and s cents in eggs.
These drops in wholesale rates
are expected to influence a gen.
eral decline in retail prices with
in the next few weeks. Pota-
toes are reported to have declin-
ed 8 to 10 cents a bushel, and
other perishable commodities are
listed among the reductions.

The People Have Spoken.

While the liquor interests are
clamoring for a referendum on
the prohibition amendment reso-
luton, which has been ratified
by the necessary thirty-six states
and six additional, a study OF fig-
ures presented with reference to
population and aye and nay votes
is interesting.
A little attention to these fig
ures on the part of these advo-
Gates of a referendum might
serve to show them the folly OF
their argument.
These figures show that more
than 70, 900, 900 of the 100, 900, 600
population of the United States
live in the forty-two states that
have ratified to date. The vote
of the legislators on the issue is
more than four to one for ratifi-
cation.
A legislator may occasionally
misrepresent his constituents,
but is it reasonable to think that
a misrepresentation of such vast
proportions would occur in forty
two state legislatures represent
ing more than seventy per cent
of the population of the nation?
The verdict is too nearly unan-
imous to warrant belief that the
people have been misrepresent-
ed. American Issue.

To Fight the Persistent Slump in Cot
ton.

The persistent slump in the
price of cotton that has prevail
ed for the last two or three weeks
has aroused a large amount of
alarm both among the farmers
and planters who depend so much
on the staple for their livelihood.
and also among the merchants
and brokers whose earnings and
livelihood depends largely upon
the stability of values based up
on the cotton market.
Mr.. w. B. Thompson, of New
Orleans, in a late review of the
cotton situation, appears to have
gone to the root of the matter
and made some suggestions that
meet the views of a number of
Colfax business men, and they
have joined in wire message to
the Hicks Co. of Shreveport, as
follows:
1.-The undersigned cotton plant
ers, furnishers of supplies and
banking interests in Grant par
ish hereby adopt the views of
w. B. Thompson of New Or
leans, as outlined in his compre-
hensive cotton letter of a few
days since, assigning reasons for
present low price of spot and flu
ture cotton and his corrective
measures therefor, and W e
promise to adhere to such as the
best remedy for relief, covering
the cotton now made and unsold
and in anticipation of the crop of
1872"
The message was signed by the
Bank of Colfax, ]. w. Duncan
Co.. ]. H. McNeely, C. H. Teal,
T. C. Bush and C. w. Lacroix,
and the Hicks Company's reply
to them will be found elsewhere
in this paper.

Notice to Former Students of Colfax
High School.

Notice to Former Students of Colfax
High School.
There are quite large number
of note books at the high school,
prepared by former students in
history and science. These cost
the students some hard work,
and they no doubt prize them
highly. AS they are of much
more value to the owners than
to any one else it is nothing more
than right that they should have
them back. They should be kept
as reminder of school days, and
in showing the work done at Col
fax high school, in case of at
tending a higher Institution. AS
there is no law or regulation re-
quiring the note books to be kept
on file, the owners are welcome
to call or send for them.

Five Reynards Run Down By Hammond
Fox Hounds.

Hammond, La, Jan. 8.-Re-
turning from a fox hunt in the
northeastern end of the parish,
C. R. Anderson. president of the
Hammond Hardware and Supply
Company, and w. 1. Kent, a
commission merchant of Lake
Charles, report having had five
days. fine sport. Taking with
them the famous Hammond pack
of fox hounds, they had nine
chases, resulting in five catches
of fine gray foxes, which had
been doing much depreciation
among sheep, lambs and pigs in
the section hunted. This catch
makes the twenty-ffth season to
the credit of the Hammond hunt
ers, of whom Mr.. Anderson is
the president and master of the
pack.

Estimate.

Washington, Jan. %. -Suspen-
sion of building, made necessary
by the war, has resulted in a
shortage of nearly a million
homes in America, according to
an estimate just made public by
representatives of building and
loan associations over the coun-
try. The associations have been

the treasury departments, and,
they said, with an adequate labor
supply avsilable and building re-
strictions removed construction
would be speeded up to overcome
the shortage.

Foch Cried When Order Came Stopping
War, Saws Col. DOdd.

Aurora, ILL.,, Jan. %. 1t was
told and is generally known in
army circles that Foch cried
when the armistice was signed.
He had $4,000 Germans in a
great trap which was about to be
sprung. This, Colonel Town
send Dodd, who went to France
on General Pershing's staff, told
here while visiting his mother.
The colonel who was chief of
staff of the air forces of the
Third American army was re-
Gently ordered home from France
to make a comprehensive report
on the American aerial activities
and supplies at the front.
"The Germans were pocketed, -
Colonel Dodd said, land they
knew it.
The colonel said that a plan
had been worked out for an allied
aerial attack on Berlin which
was soon to be made from the
North Sea.
He had an idea. too, that the
Germans had an IDEA that Berlin
was about to see a downpour Of
bombs. This great raid was tt
have been from ships in the
North sea, and was to have beer
made by a vast fleet of American
and allied airplanes.

Cotton Prices Soar as Cargo Rates
are Cut.


are Cut.
Washington, Jan. %. -Reduc-
tons of nearly Is per cent in
transatlantic freight rates on
cotton carried in American bot
toms, effective Immediately. was
announced today by the shipping
boards division of operations.
Sweeping decreases were made
yesterday in rates on general
freight to meet cuts by British
ship owners and some shipping
board officials regarded today's
announcement as presaging a
rate war between the new Ameri-
can merchant marine and Brit
ish shipping interests.
Requests for the cut in rates
on cotton were made by southern
senators and representatives in
conference with shipping board
officials and the announcement
first came from the capitol. The
effect on the price of cotton on
the New York and New Orleans
exchanges was electric, the price
on the old contract months adj
vancing $40 a bale-the limit of
fluctuations permitted in a single
day under the law controlling
dealinss in futures.
Immediate and sharp increase
in the exports of cotton from
this country was viewed by
southern senators and represent
atives as a certainty. All regu-
lations affecting such exports al
ready had been removed and the
high freight rates were regarded
as the only barrier between Eu-
ropean needs and the American
supply. No cotton will be per-
mitted to go to enemy countries,
however, until the matter of the
economic blockade of those coun-
tries has been determined at the
peace conference.
The new rates from South At
lantic ports to ports in Europe as
announced by the shipping board
are:
To Liverpool and other ports
in the United Kingdom. SIPS
per hundred pounds, against the
| old rate of 81. so per hundred.
To French Atlantic ports, Rot
terdam. Antwerp and PortnglI,
$1.5O per hundred pounds, con
pared with S4.75.
To French Mediterranean ports
and Barcelona. Spain, So per hun
dred pounds, compared to $5.S.
To Italian main ports SIS,
against $3.50.
The new rates from gulf ports
to all ports named were fixed at
rs cents in excess of the South
Atlantic rates.

Washington, Jan. 29.-Ratifi-

ment to the federal constitution
will be effective Jan. 16, 1920 as
proclaimed in proclamation sign
ed at the state department by

becomes effective one year from
that date. The proclamation
was signed by Secretary Polk, in
the presence of Senator Shep-
