FOUR LITTLE RED CROSS
WORKERS
The St. Mary Red Cross Chapter
fe richer by $7.00 today than it was
Thursday morning as a result of the
line work of four little ladies who
«old sweets to Jhe folks on the streets.
The salesladies were: Bessie Leon
ard, Kootsy Greenwald, Carrie and
Era Kreisler. They started their
campaign by making candy in their
homes. When this was sold out the
proceeds were re-invested in candies
and gum and the good work went on
until *he evening showed that their
efforts had netted them $7.00. This^
Bum was turned over to Mrs. Palmer,
acting chairman of the St. Mary

scissors, needles and other items bad

UNIVERSITY SESSION OPENS
SEPTEMBER 19.
The next regular session of the
Louisiana State Uiversity will open
Louisiana State University will open
on Wednesday, September 19. It is
the earnest desire of the University
authorities that there be no diminu
tion in attendance from that of
previous sessions, but, on the con
trary, that the registration be larger
than ever before.
"There is no doubt that the world
will have fo look mainly to the Un
ited States to replenish its supply of
highly educated men, now being so
rapidly depleted on the battle fields
of Europe," says President Thos. D.
Boyd of the Louisiana State Univer
sity. "Many European colleges and
universités have closed their doors,
and it would be very unfortunate to
have any great falling off in the at
tendance of our American colleges
and universities this fall.
"High school graduates and col
lege students are worthy of all praise
for their eagerness to enter the mili
tary service and their willingness, if
need be, to die for their country; hut
this war will probably continue sev
eral years longer, and there is no
doubt that these young men can ren
ier their country better service by
completing their education and thus
fitting themselves for greater use
fulness hereafter."—L.*S. U. Press
Bulletin.
HAVE YOU A LICENSE TO
NAVIGATE?
Some of the hunters and fisher
men of the Eighth Naval District,
who have not yet obtained license
for their hunting and fishing chift,
are going to be very much disap
pointed, when the hunting season
opens, to discover that they will not
be allowed to use their boats.
All boats propelled by sail or ma
chinery are required to have a "li
cense to navigate," issued by the
Navy Department. This license may
be obtained, without charge, from
the Licensing Office, 215 Godchaux
Building, New Orleans, La.
Several thousands of licenses have
already been issued in this District
and comparatively few boats now re
main unlicensed. In view of this
fact, patrol boats in the Gulf of Mex- j
ico are already busy warning sea-go- !
ing .vessels that they will not bo '
alloT^I to navigate without the
proper licenses, and an inland water
patrol will soon be at work rounding
up boats not provided with the prop
er papers.
Many boat owners, whose boats
are not now- in active commission,
have paid no attention to the nec
essity of applying for licenses, but
when the shooting season opens and
they desire to move their boats to the
hunting grounds, they will realize
their oversight when a patrol boat
demands their license, and ties them
up for want of it.
Vessels in the carrying of trade
may also be put to the same incon
venience by neglecting to register
and get a license.
Application cards may be had up
on request at the Licensing Offices,
215 Godchaux Building, New Or
leans, La., and if properly Ailed out,
nay be sent by nail and license is
sued thereon, without the necessity

Berenice had giver. Hal the watch
Christmae time. -.Ever Rince their mar
nage, two years before, they had both
religiously observed all anniversaries
and special holidays. She had had
special photograph taken for the back
of the hunting case. As she sat for
It she had tried to Imagine Hal's face
before ber and her's smiling at him.
The result was all she had hoped for.
Hal said it was the dearest, sweetest
picture of her he had ever seen.
"And there Isn't another one U$e It
in existence," she said. *T made the
man destroy the plate, so that yon
would have the only one"
Hie watch had kept perfect time,
and la the spring Hal mentioned one
night at dinner that he had left tt at
the Jeweler's to be regulated, until
called for.
Then be went away on a two week#
trip np the state, establishing new
agencies. Berenice promised him to
get the watch before his return. The
night before he came home she gave
the little apartment a final survey, ar
ranging everything Just as he liked to
see it. The train arrived a little past
eight the next morning and she was
going down to meet him. Everything
seemed to be exactly right, when all
at once she remembered the watch,
He would think that she had forgottén
his little request and It meant so much
to him. she knew.
It had been left at a little Jewelry
store around the corner. She had often
seen a curious-looking little old gen
tleman In a skull cap seated before a
rack repairing watches.
He examined the slip she handed
him carefully.
"That was Mr. Demorest's watch,
yes?" he asked pleasantly. "Is he
away?"
"He's coming home In the morning,"
she answered with Just a little touch
of bride's dignity, that still clung to
her even after two years of married
life. "He said that the watch was left
to be called for. I am Mrs. DemoresL
I think it is the second one on that!

a drawer filled with envelopes contain
ing Jewelry, and bent over them care
fully.
"Ah," he said. "Here we have it :
'Mr. Demorest. To be called for.' " j
"No, no. I have Mr. Demorest's In

on the case, and she hurried boms
with It
Later in the evening she took it out
of the envelope and handled It tender
ly, sitting in Hal's own big morris
chair beside his desk that had been so
horribly lonely without him. Half un
conscionaly she pressed the spring and
opened the back case. In utter horror
and surprise she .stared at the face
that looked back at her—not her own,
hot the face of a strange girl. It
slipped ont from under her thumb nali
easily, and on the back she saw writ

meeting Hal at the station the follow
ing morning, but she changed her mind.
After looking for her in vain, Hal took
a taxi uptown without even waiting to
telephone her, and burst into the
apartment Just as Berenice hurried
away from the front window, where
she had been watching for him surrep
titiously.
"Why, darling," he exclaimed, drop
ping his suitcase, "are you ill?"
"Don't come near me. Don't dare
touch me." Her voice sounded a little
faint and hollow, and one hand pressed
her thront. She looked adorable.
"Berenice !" he cried. "What do you
mean? What has happened since I've
been gone?"
She answered eryptieally.
" "To be left until called for.' Oh, !
you brute." The tears foreed them- !
selves between her lashes. She pointed
to the watch on the desk. "Would you j
mind returning my picture, since yon •
have hers in there now "
„„ . î
Hers! he repeated. "Whom do you

Estelle! She hurled the name at
him expecting him to wilt, but Instead
his expression changed to one of so
lioitude.
' Hadnt you better lie down, dear?
I don t think you re quite well." ;
"I won't lie down," she retorted in
dignantly. crossing to the desk. "You
needn't think, Hal Demorest, that just
because I've loved you I'm going to
stand any such thing as that." She
snatched up the watch and. opening
the back case, thrust it toward him,
adding scornfully, "'For Dearest from
Estelle.' "
"I swear to you—" began Hall sol
emnly, when all at once the telephone j
bell rang. It was the old watch re- ;
pairer, and his tone was anxious as
Berenice answered it.
Hello. Is that Mrs. Demorest? This
Is the jeweler where you got Mr. Dem
orest's watch last night. I made a mis
take."
"You little duffer," said Hal tender
ly. • "I don't mind. If yon didn't love

Does anyone know the possibilities
of an acre of land? Has an acre of
soil, like the machine, its limitations?
Who js ready to say how many tons
of hay or btfshels of gratn an acre
can produ. -? So far. we do not know
of anyone wir > has been able to make
the acre work to the limit of its powers
or to fathom its h'dden possibilities.
There is bound up in a lnmp of soil
much history and many atysteries of
the world, much of which u.® , *as
never been able to unfold. Too nmn^
farmer« have treated their soil as
thongh tt were uninteresting and not
full of charm and fascination.
In the book entitled "Letters of an
Old Farmer to Hi* Son," we came
across these paragraphs : "That's what
I like In the soil. Though we've been
working with it through unnumbered
thousands of years^ no man since the
beginning has ever found the limita
tions of a single square rod. In the
very nature of things, no man will
ever discover the utmost end of the
soli's power when to its own fertility
he adds a fertile mind." Tes, It is
the trained mind that comprehends the
charm and wonders of the land ; It Is
the fertile brain that looks forward to
the possibilities of the soil and can
see Its powers strengthen ns the com
prehension of man broadens.
We quote again, from this book:
"An acre of land Is pretty much like
the heart « >f n good friend. It is an
everlasting challenge to you to show
j the best that's in you; It's everlast
I ingly rich In surprises for you. It's
■ an everlasting Invitation to you to do
] with It what you will and to take from
j It ns you need : and there's everlast
ing certainty that it holds great treas
ures always In reserve for you. ITe
must he a man of little* understanding
! who will flare to say that he has ex
hausted all knowledge of the potent
secrets of the merest handful of earth.

Children's Music.
We need more good music for chil
dren. We need music that will da
more than entertain them with Mother
Goose tales and simple Incidents of
nature life. We need mos)c which, in
the daya when they are wax to receive
and marble to retain, will lift and In
spire them to the real thoughts that
are deep In our own hearts.
The great sentiments, the great
truths are simple. They are not too
hard for children. Many of these
things can be understood by children
alone. In our education we have
erred. We wait too long to tell our
children the big things of life. We
clutter them up with trifles. Bo also
in music.
Minds, like bodies, can only grow
on real food.—New York Evening

The Social Conscience.
The most important discovery of
the present age is not the discovery
of the telephone, or of wireless teleg
raphy, or of the antitoxins of dis
ease, but the discovery of the social
conscience. Never before in the his
tory of the world have people been g0
touched by social sympathies so
moved bj* social passion, so eager for
social amelioration. Wage-earners and
capitalists, philosophers and plain peo
ple, wise and ignorant, are equally
concerned for this application of social
duty. When some philosophical his
torian recalls the character of the pres
ent age it may well be that he shall
describe it as the age of the social
question.—Rev. Francis G. Peabody,'

gtous thumping on the plank under

a hollow sound.
One of the longshoremen, the Brook

exclamation. Then he bent over and,
applied his eyes to a crack in the
woodwork. At first he could not make
out anything in the murk, but at length
a pair of green eyes met his horrified
i It seemed, to his untutored mind,
, conclusive evidence of a personal call
j from the evil one, and when horns
i rapped the planking and a long tall

! the rest of the longshoremen.
Up winding Fulton street they sped
and around the crooked corner into
narrow Poplar street, where they very
nearly carried the door of the Poplar
street police station off its hinges. They
arrived before the desk sergeant all
abreast and told their story, ns their
knees smote one against another and
their hands groped feebly for the desk
rail. The desk lieutenant thought at
it was a case of "greenhouse"
whisky, hut he finally sent a man down
to investigate. The patrolman found
that the apparition was only a steer
which had been thrown into the river
and had swum up under the dock. He
did not know just what to do and his
police manual gave him no help. Ob
viously he could not loosen the steer's
collar and roll it over a barrel. Nor
could he give it an antidote for poison.
At last he had a bright thought and
called up the dock department, the
steer being at a dock and therefore,
per se a fit subject for the dock de
partment.
The dock department responded—or
part of it did—with saws. Then having
opened a nice round hole in one of the
city's docks, its work was done, and it
