how many players on a team would

HOLD YOUR RICE.

The Rayne Tribune Of Sept
25th says:
g AT joint meeting of the di-
rectors of the Southern Rice
Growers Association, the river
rice planters and leading rice
millers of Louisiana, Texas and
Arkansas, which has been in ses-
sion at New Orleans the past ten
days plans have been worked out
that will insure a reasonable and
stable market for rice this season.
Conditions have been unset
| lied since the harvest begun, and
certain independent" interests
have been trying to stampede
farmers into sacrificing their crop
at ruinious prices, or turning it
over on tolling basis to these in
dependents.
Rice is not the only commod
ity affected at this time, and if
the farmers will sit tight on the
lid little longer their troubles
will be ever. Do not let calamity
howlers stampede You.
Good market news will be
available in few days, accord
ing to advice furnished Tribune.
Hold your rice. and do not be
misled bv independent" opera
tors who try to make You think
they are working for your inter-
est.
When the time comes, as il
will soon. farmers will know on
whom to rely for a reasonable
price and a stable market. Hold
your rice.

BOTTLE BREAKAGE IN
CREASES COST OF
MILK TO CONSUMER

In u cities milk dealers used
each others bottle indiscriminate
ly. In at least q cities the junk
dealers carried on regular
traffic in milk bottles. Thirty.
three cities operated milk4bottle
exchanges, according to figures
obtained by the Bureau Of Ami
NAL Industry, United States De-
partment of Agriculture. The
bureau cooperated with various
trade journals and with the dairy
men themselves in collecting these
figures.
How much the loss Of milk bot
ties affects the price the milk user
pays the dealer can be estimated
from the figures, which show that
the dealers are compelled to pur-
chase 10 bottles every month for
each bottle they have filled daily
during that period.
The loss among small dealers is
less than that sustained by the
large enterprises. The small
dealers have greater breakage
than the large distributors, but
they are better able to check up
on the return of their bottles and
therefore do not lose so many in
that manner. Breaking bottles,
losing or using them for other
purposes, selling to junk dealers,
or giving the bottle belonging to
one dealers to another adds ma
terially to the consumers bill and
is an economic error which each
and every consumer can help to
reduce by returning every bottle
in good ondition.-W Weekly News

SOLDIERS AND BABIES.

Before America entered the war
there was a popular song which
everybody remembers, 81 didn t
raise my boy to be soldier"
The idea was, presumably, that
no mother deliberately trained
,&er son for a profession in which
: he ran the chance of getting
killed.
1t would probably shock some
of those mothers to tell them that
the way they are raising their
babies is far more dangerous
than if they were planning 70
send them into battle. Yet it is
absolutely true. Statistics show
that only one out Of every forty
American soldiers was killed in
the Argonne, whereas one out Of
every eight babies die in Amer
lea each year. In other words,
it is far more dangerous to die
baby nowadays than it is to be a
fighting man.
After all, this is not the fault
Of the mothers. The vast major
itv of infant deaths, we are told,
occur during the first week, or
month and are attributable to i'm
proper care of mothers and babies
at birth and Immediately after
fSirth. And the blame Of those
deaths lies most directly at the
door of the communities in which
they live. It is they, it is the pub
lie which should take these as.
touding figures to heart and do
what it can to reduce infant NOR
tality.
And how can we do it?" asks
someone. There are many ways,
perhaps, but at present the Amer
lean Red Cross. in it's plans for
the future, offers the most uni
versal and most effective agency.
