VERNON PARISH AS
A HEALTH RESORT
Here is a new one on us.

E1ere is new one on us.
David Sheldon of Boston, Mass, is
here for his health. Mr.. Sheldon tells
us that he has come here on the ad-
vice Of his physician, DR.. Ford. of Bos-
ton. Mass.
Dr.. Ford has found that there are
less deaths per thousand in Vernon Par
ish than in any other place in this coun-
try. He calls it the Highlands of Lou
'isiana, and from the data that the
Doctor has at his disposal, he is ready
to prove that people with affections
of the lungs have a better chance to
recover here than in any other place
that he knows of.
Mr.. Sheldon is afflicted with chron-
ic bronchitis, and he has been with us
for the past five weeks, and feels al
ready the beneficial effects Of our eli
mate.
Hurrah for the Highlands of Lou
isianas with all the moisture that we
have had during the last three weeks,
there is still hope for US 70 become a
real health resort. after all.

PARISH SCHOOL RALLY
ANNOUNCED FOR APRIL

The executive meeting Of the Yer
non Parish High School Rally met Sat
urday at 2:30. to discuss plans for the
coming summer.
Officers for the ensuing year wore
elected: President, Prof. McCollister;
Vice-President, Prof. Stanly; Sec
Treas, Prof. Nanney.
The date set for the meet will be
the third Saturday in April, and there
will be but one day for the school meet
instead of two as formerly.
The school board had agreed to do
nate $3.50 to meet the expenses of the
annual meet, but the meeting decided
that in view of the expense that the
Parish had been to for the past year,
they should express their thanks to the
board for the generous offer, and de-
cline it from the standpoint of econ
omy. In the future, the schools taking
part in the meet will raise funds il
some other manner. and so help out the
Parish school board in their efforts tC
economic.
The Democrat wishes to compliment
the rally members for the splendid ex.
ample shown. The spirit Of "Servic,
First" was the paramount subject al
through the meeting, and we compIi
ment Vernon Parish for the able off
cials that now control our public
schools.

served by elevators storage

quately served by elevators storage
is scarce.
Elevator men figure out that the
storage facilities will are of perhaps
half of the wheat crop of the state.
Accepting the state estimate of &c.
900 900 bushels Of wheat, the 600 ell
evators, with an average capacity Of
10000 bushels, will care for 100000
bushels. The storage facilities of the
mills is expected to raise this figure
somewhat and the farmers themselves
will be able to handle a part Of the
threshed grain in granaries already
built.
Some of the means taken for con-
servation of the remaining crop in
clude the farmers who are stacking it
in the field and will delay threshing
until later in the year. Grain men
said that probably few more than the
normal number of farmers are stack
ing this year due to the fact few far
mers today know how to stack grain
properly. Many years of threshing
from the shock have spoiled many for
stacking.
Should it happen that there is part
of the crop that cannot be provided
with storage. grain men said that they
believed it will lbe largely dumped on
the ground with no more protection
than perhaps a tarpaulin thrown over
it.
eff this is followed, the farmers will
find that in taking up the grain much
dirt and sticks will be taken with it
that will cut down the value of the
grain to a large extent" said Ben
Fisher of the Gallatin Valley Elevator
company. "Where possible, a platform
of boards should be used or ever some
tarp thrown down so that the grain
can be taken up with out the dirt. Of
course, the best way is to build a
granary of some kind, but with a tight
roof.
81 am afraid that few farmers will
take this %precaution, although it ap-
pears at this time that the elevators
are going to be taxed greatly. Even
what elevators we have are not dis
tributed evenly, with the result that
some districts will have ample facili-
ties and others will have little in the
way Of storage space. We have three
elevators ourselves that will be filled
by the end Of the week. We have been
able to get only an occasional car"
The situation was reflected in the
opinions Of other grain men. J. H
Reid of the Royal Mills said that il
was not yet acute with that company
although considerable difficulty in get.
ting cars was being felt. especially
around Kalispell. j. Watkins, secre.
tary of the Northwest Grain Dealers
association, has sent letters warning
the members to make the best possible
use of cars obtained by using pape,
liners and the like so as to lose as
little grain as possible in transit.

GERMANY LOST 1879 U.B0ATS
Paid Dearly for Submarine Activities
Against Allies.

Germany paid an m price
for the submarine warfare she waged
during the World war, according to
figures from the war archives Of the
German admiralty, recently made
public. Out Of a total Of LOLA cas-
ualties among naval officers. excluding
marines and coast artillery, 51S per-
ished in submarines; SO more were
slain in aircraft battles and only four
out of every ten naval officer casu-
alties met death in their element for
which they were originally trained.
The exact number Of submarines
lost during the war, before the feet
surrendered to the allies, was, accord
ing to official figures, exactly 100. The
commanders Of $40 Of these vessels
persisted with their ships, rs indicated
by the ominous dagger sign before
their names in the official lists.
The virtual certainty Of death for
all engaging In submarine warfare
hindered toward the end the activities
and enterprise Of German submarines
and made it increasingly difficult to
get crews to man those floating collins.
The Zeppelins made but a little better
record, as % out of 20 rigid dirigibles
were lost during the war, proving YER
table death traps for their comman-
ders and the entire crews.

THIRTY COUNTIES TO SHOW
AT MONTANA STATE FAIF

BY the middle of August % Montana
counties had taken action to provide
for an agricultural exhibit at the Mon
tana State Fair at Helena Sept. e.
80, under the new plan of grouping
exhibits in effect this year. The State
Fair management expects to have 35
counties in line this year, as compared
with II counties in 1921 and an aver
age of Is counties showing for the past
five years. Under the plan that is
tried out this year for the first time
in Montana, the farm products are all
grouped according to variety and class
rather than according to counties, and
the State Fair pays the expense of ar
rangement and display, thus relieving
the counties of that burden. The first
% counties to take action for a show
at Helena this year were Blaine. Car
ter, Cascade, Custer, Daniels, Fallon,
Fergus, G~allatin, Golden Valley, JEFF
f%erson, Judith Basin, Lewis & Clark,
Lincoln, Madison, McCone. Musselshell,
Park, Phillips, Pondera, Powder River,
Ravalli, Richland, Sanders, Silver Bow
Saltwater, Valley, Wibaux and Vel
lowstone.
Fifty-four bundles of wheat, one
from each county in Montana, will be
lined up side by side in the Farm Pro-
ducts show at the Montana State Fair
at Helena. Sept. $500, which will
probably mark the first occasion on
which every n of M~ontana's counties
has been represented in competition
at the same time . While these bun
dies of wheat are to be judged, &C
cording to Secretary B. T. Moore, they
will also be the basis of a cash prize
guessing contest open to all who at
tend the fair during the first three
days.

Sew are there, indeed, who have

Recently the writer visited the Fort

tai and it's patients. Sparks from a
conflagration in nearby railroad yards
had ignited the flimsy hospital build
ings scores of times. Only the most
efficient measures by medical officers
IN charge, the city fire department,
the regular army, and a ~providential
deluge of rain had prevented the des-
truction of the wooden buildings.
