Use Simple Methods in Cooking
Cabbage.

A cabbage project was underta ken
in September by number OF adult
demonstrators and girls and boys VINO
are members of garden clubs, under
the supervisiono of the horticultural
department at the Louisiana State
University, in which superior cabbage
seed were planted and nitrate of soda
used as a fertilizer. Throughout the
fall the field work has been super
vised by Henry Clay Smith, garden
specialist and local demonstration
agents, who report that there are
splendid specimens of cabbage in the
fields that will soon be ready to be
prepared into palatable dishes. "Cab-
bage is one of the most useful vege-
tables as it is rich in vitamines, rich
in minerals, furnishes bulk in the
diet, and is available throughout the
year," says Miss Mary Thomas, spe-
cialist in foods and nutrition, l..
S. u. "Because of the relatively
large amount of sulphur which cab
bage contains, it is apt to be indi-
gestible if improperly cooked. ''The
quickest and simpest methods of
cooking cabbage are the best. The
essentials for the proper cooking OF
this vegetable are plenty Of boiling
water, a hot fire to keep the water
boiling all the time and thorough ven
tilation SO that the strong-smelling
gases, set free by the high tempera-
ture, may be carried off by the steam.
"Young cabbage will cook in twenty
five or thirty minutes; late in the
season, it will require forty-fve min
utes. The vegetable when done should
be crisp and tender, any green por-
ton should retain that color and the
white portion should be white, not
yellow or brown. Overlooked cab
bage is more or less yellow, has a
strong flavor, and is very inferior to
the same dish when properly pre-
pared. Over-cooking is a cause of
digestive disturbance" Miss Thomas
has prepared a circular which con-
tains list of tested recipes for cab
bage. This circular is available for
distribution upon receipt of such a
request by Miss Thomas at the Uni
versity at Baton Rouge, La.

Pine Oil From lStumns

Until a few years ago the pine
stumps on cut-over lands in St. Tam
many and neighboring parishes, were
considered nuisance Now the
stumps and pine knots are an asset
They not only paw the cost of clear
ing the land but bring a good reve,
nue. in addition. This is due to the
development of process for extract
ing pine products from stumps and
pine knots, and the building of fac
tory for that purpose. The factory
is that of the Mackie Pine Products
Company, and occupies one square
block in Covington. 1t is connected
with two railroads the Baton Rouge
and Hammond and the New Orleans
and Great Northern. The plant en-
ploys 70 men.

To End Strikes in Coal Mines.

Strikes in the coal industry will be
unheard of in the future if plans to
be laid before the conference Of
miners and operators to be held in
Chicago on November IA, material
ize. The strike prevention commit
tee, consisting of thirty operators and
thirty miners will meet at the Con-
gress hotel to attempt to adjust all
differences and reach satisfactory
agreement which will eliminate all
coal strikes. Operators have stated
that several suggestions will be offer
ed for the reorganization of the in
dustry, but that any basis for agree
ment was only tentative and that the
conference would have to thresh the
whole matter out. Miners were ex-
pected to insist on two issues, as IL
basis for agreement: l. Continuance
of the present wage agreement until
March 81, 1925. The present agree
ment expires March 81, 1923. 2. Es-
tablishment of the six-hour day and
the five day week. The miners will
also as ~ 70 ]" they be paid time and a
half Lovertime and double time
on Sundays and holidays.

CAR SHORTAGE AND ROAD
RITTDTNG.

The shortage of open or gondola
cars which has prevailed for some
time, has seriously interferred with
road building in many parishes or
Louisiana, among them beng the par
ish Of Ascension. It is said that the
shortage is due to the fact that most
Of the cars have been placed in com
mission hauling coal to the great IL
dustrial center to replenish the SUP
plies which had been very 'nurf d'~
pleted as d result OF the railroad
strike, and as Louisiana IS com
paratively small consumer oi coal, the
number Of open cars which come this
way is rather limited. Nor is it be
licvcd that there will be any i'm
provement in the car situation IN the
early future. Gondola cars are uSo':
in hauling gravel from In" pits to
various points where roads are IN
course Of construction. The Loulsl-
ana Highway Commission is the great
est purchaser of "ravel in the state,
and it is said that even this body
is experiencing great difficulty in OBJ
tanning quantity shipments, and must
content itself with what it can get
with the limited number of cars in
commission.
Here in Ascension, it has been i'm
possible for the road districts to OBJ
tain gravel at all. About three months
ago an order was placed by the First
Road District for number Of cars
of gravel sufficient to hardsurface
approximately thirty city blocks in
Donaldsonville and despite every
effort that has been made by the
police jurors and members of the dis
trict auxiliary board, not one car has
been secured thus far, nor has it
been possible to obtain any guarantee
from the gravel companies of early
shipments. The only promise that the
concerns will make is to deliver as
soon as cars can be obtained. The
general belief prevails that there will
be no Improvement in the car situa-
ton until the spring, by which time
it is hoped that sufficient number
| of cars will be released from the coal
service and diverted to Louisiana for
the hauling of gravel. Until that
time, it is feared that very little if
any progress will made on any par
ish, district or municipal road project

Healthy Growth of Schools.

The report submitted by T. H.
Harris, state superintendent of pub
lie schools to the Louisiana state
board Of education, which met in
Baton Rouge last Monday, shows a
most healthy growth of the public
school system Of the state. The re-
port showed that the enormous sum
of $25, ,148,933 was received bv the
board from all sources during the
past year, and that the balance on
hand is 100000 more than the total
at the same period last year This it
is believed will be the last meeting
Of the appointive board as the new
board will be elected next Tuesday
and will probably be organized in Jan
uarV.

ELECTION NEXT TUESDAY.

Next Tuesday elections will be held
in every state Of the union for the
election of congressman, and in many
states, United States senator's will
also be chosen for various terms. In
cratic candidates for congress have
opposition; neither are there any con-
tests for members of the State Board
of Education and judges of the Su-
preme Court and Court of Appeals,
and insofar as this state is concerned
the election will be purely a matter
of form.
At the said election four proposed
| amendments to the state constitution
will be submitted to the electors for
their ratification or rejection.
One of said amendments proposes
an amendment to Section of Article
10 of the constitution providing that
the legislature shall pass no law post
poning the payment Of taxes except
in case of overflow, general confa-
grafton, general destruction Of crops
or other public calamity.
Another proposed amendment au-
thorizes the Board of Commissioners
OF the Port of New Orleans to lease
lands on the industrial canal for man.
ufacturing purposes for a period of
eaea~years: 50 >~1----
Another still makes the state su-
perintendent of public education elec-
tive by the people, as he was before
the constitution of 1921, under which
he is appointed by the state board
Of education.
The fourth relates to the construc-
ton and maintenance Of levees and
embankments along, over and in the
bed of Lake Pontchartrain by the Or
leans Levee board.
The Chief can see no objection
to any of the proposed amendments,
and the voters will be perfectly safe
in casting their ballots in favor of
the ratification of all four.

THE CARNIVAL ASSOCIATION.
Preparations for 1923 Mardi Gras
Assuming Definite Shape.

The DonaIdsonville Carnival Asso-
clatlOn, composed Of some of the lead
ing business men of this community,
has made considerable progress in
formulating program for the 1923
carnival celebration, and the indica-
tions are that the affair will prove
one of the most attractive and sue
cessful ofthn kind ever staged in a
small city. The work of mapping
out the program has been in charge
Of a committee of active men who
have worked hard and earnestly and
their task is nearing completion
The king, queen, maids, dukes, etc.,
have all been selected and they have
accepted the appointments. The sub
jects for the various floats have been
picked out and all is in readiness to
begin the work Of construction.
The name of his majesty who will
rule over the city for the Joyous day,
will be King Progress.
In order to successfully carry out
the program, the committee requires
more funds, and intends to call on the
members of the association who have
not already done so, to pay the
amount of their subscription, and in
addition to this it is planned to give
novelty entertainments from time to
time to raise money. The first of
these will be a barn dance at the
fair grounds Thanksgiving night.
The affair will be something entirely
new in this community and will no
doubt attract a large crowd and prove
social as well as financial success.
The gentlemen will wear overalls and
the ladies aprons, and music will be
furnished by Claiborne's farmer or-
chestra. The building will be ap-
propriately decorated for the ucca-
sion, and refreshments of all kinds
will be sold at popular prices. The
turkey in the straw will be danced by
two local favorites. Other novelty
dances will make up the program
which will furnish amusement for all
whether they dance or not. All those
who attend are promised that the
strlctest discipline and decorum will
be maintained throughout the eve
ming.
From time to time the association
will publish the progress made.
AS the celebration will benefit the
entire community and neighboring
country, it goes without saying that it
will receive the hearty cooperation
and assistance of all.

Taxes Are Doubled.

Acting under instructions of the
Tensas basin levee board, tax asses
sors of Ouachita, Morehouse, Frank
lin, Richland, East and West Carroll
and Madison parishes, have doubled
the assessments on lands subject to
overflow. In Ouachita parish the as
sessment was increased from 2 Y to
S mills on the east side, of the Qua
chita river, but not on the west of
the river which is outside of the levee
board district. The revenue for levee
purposes in all Of the parishes com
prising the district will amount to
approximately 100000. The in
crease in taxation was ordered by the
board in order to provide sufficient
revenue to afford protection for the
district from river overfows.

New Control in Motor Cars.

Dispensing with the present emer-
gency brake and gear-shift levers in
any motor car, the clutch, brakes
and gear shifts are controlled by
means of pneumatic pressure of from
40 to IS pounds, obtained from the
motor, in device of recent inven-
ton. The apparatus is mounted on
the transmission case in place of its
cover, and is operated by means of {;
small pivoted lever. With the new
control it is impossible to strip gears,
Or to engage the clutch when the
brakes are set.

DEMOCRATIC VICTORY CERTAIN
Every Indication Points to Repubi'
can Defeat Next Tuesday.

A special from Washington says
that CordclI Dull, chairman OF the
Democratic national committee, de-
clared a few days ago in forecast
of the senatorial and congressional
elections, to be held November z,
that great Democratic victory is GER
tain.
"The only question of doubt re-
naming" said Mr.. Hull, ''is the ex-
tent Of +tfe7vsitu+s4ogZ. The v4usog Practically every
thtection of the United States will c6AF
tribute a share of that victory, and
every class of voters will be largely
represented among the victors.'
Declaring that the question had
been whether Republicans would stay
away from the polls, cor turn to the
Democratic party for relief,' Mr..
Hull said, eff the stay-at-home Re-
publicans vote should be larger than
anticipated by Democrats there will
nevertheless be substantial Demo
cratic victory. If on the other hand
the pre- cnt tendency of Republicans
in revolt to actively support the Dem
ocratic ticket is general, there is rea-
son to believe the Democratic party
November 7, will register one of the
most sweeping victories it has had in
any mid-eIection. At this time I do
not hesitate to assert that every in
dication is the Democratic victory will
be larger than the Republican leaders
on the inside really believe their vic
tory may be-
