The Louisiana Antitelephone In
crease Campaign. with state headquar-
ters at Ruston, is now well under way
and It's sundry officials seem actively
on their Jobs. It would appear that
the organization Is strong one, and
that the bulk Of literature being dis
tributed must surely have its telling
effect. One circular that is being dis
trtbuted, copy Of which has just

reads:

Government. viii Make Sweet Potato sirup

curing and storing establishment which
promises supply Of material from the
1920 crop. A site and building for the
project were also available.
Equipment specially constructed by
the department at Washington will be
shipped to Fitzgerald Immediately and
installed to be put in operation as soon
as possible.
The possibilities of the sweet potato
sirup industry lie largely In the utiliza-
tion and marketing Of part OF the
crop which heretofore has not been
practicable either for storage or ship
ment to the Northern markets. This re-
suits In the loss of a large percentage
OF the crop annually. Potatoes that
are too large or too small for table use
or for commercial canning are as use
ful In sirup making as perfect ones. i
The process, which was. developed by
DR.. Gore, has been patented BY the De
partment OF Agriculture for the benefit
Of the public. The apparatus required
lis SO simple and comparatively mex.
peasive that plants could be established
within team hauling distance OF grow
ing centers, as is the case with can
nerfes.
This is the first project undertakes
lby the new Office Of Development
! When the commercial possibilities o.
sweet potato sirup production havt
been thoroughly tested, It Is the inten
tion of. the Bureau Of Chemistry to es
tablish similar semicommercial plant
for the development Of other project

had brought no homemade hair cuts

According to the lady, the machine

Sapp Kills Fine
Buck Near Rodman

W. F. Sapp killed fine buck one
mile this side of Rodman yesterday
afternoon and was proudly exhibit
ing the matters on the streets this
morning. Accompanied by G. W.
| Kellum and Luke Baughman Mr..
Sapp started out early yesterday
morning. About $3.50 the dogs jump
ed the deer and ran him for several
hours, in the meantime the hunters
becoming separated. Mr.. Sapp was
standing near the edge of a swamp
when he saw the antlers of the buck
above the underbrush~as he gallop-
ed out of the swamp.
II saw him go into a clump of
bushes, coming in my direction"
said Mr.. Sapp, "and don't know
whether it was the cold sunshine or
the warm dew that made me SILVER
so, but l managed to get my gun in
place ready to fire, and as soon as he
came into view I pulled the trigger.
He galloped away, but fell after
running about hundred yadrs. Only
one shot from a charge of buckshot
struck him, and J. was so weakened
by the force of the explosion it took
me two hours to carry him about a
mile to where we had left the car"
Messrs. Baughman administered
first aid to the novice and he was
able to be down early this morning
proudly displaying his trophy.
