FERTILIZER
Had you ever realized that our INTERESTS were mutual? If there ever was a
time when we should make two ears of corn or two pounds of cotton grow where
only one grew before, it is NOW.
Labor is high and scarce. “Our Motto” should be—
MORE Fertilizer—And a BETTER GRADE of Fertilizer
I It’s cheaper than labor. In fact, cheaper than anything on the market today. -
We have plenty POTASH and this may be the year to use a complete goods. It is
all right to Hooverize at our tables —but we ought to feed the plant a complete ration.
We hope you will be able to get your Nitrate from the government, but if not we
are going to try to furnish you a part of your requirements. We started about eight
months ahead of the government, but we haven’t got enough to supply our customers
as yet.
The trade does not understand or appreciate the difficulties which the manufactur
ers have to contend with now—shortage of cars, labor, etc., and unless you co-operate
with us, both of us are going to be the losers.
If you want to be patriotic—

CLOTHE GERMAN WAR
PRISONERS IN SACRED
GRAY UNIFORM? NEVER
Confederate V eterans Will Not Per
mit Dbgrace, Declare* One
The proposal of that officer of the
United States army, quartermaster's
department, who has tharge of the
cleaning and repair of uniforms, that
Union and Confederat uniforms re
maining in possession of the army
from civil war days be used to clothe
German and Austro-Hungarian pris
oners of war captured by American
troops, will TaE* a storm of protest
if all veterans of the civil war think as
Major F. S. Barton does. Major Hor
ton fought all through the war and is
a Member of General Leßoy Stafford
Camp, U. G. V., of Shreveport. The
suggestion hy this quartermaster's de
partment official, appearing in news
dispatches firam Washington a day or
two ago, is most pointedly unwelcome.
Old Mayer Horton threw op his
hands m holy horror when the sugges
tion was called to his attention and
he was asked what he thought about
it.
“What de I think abeal it? What
do I think about it? Never!
“Clothe the Germans h Confeder
ate Gray? The veterans wouldn t
stand for it. They won’t stand having
their sacred miiforms disgraced like
that!”
* The more he talked the more excit
ed and vehement he grew.
“All right to let them wear the Un
ion uniforms if they want to, but nev
er the Gray. Put 'em stripes and
keep 'em in the pen under the black
flag that belongs to them, and make
that flag show somehow that it s
Wnd the bars, too. Make ’em work
for their keep.” ..
But after a minute he softened
remarks about the suitability of the
Union uniform.
“Don’t let ’em wear either, he sai ,
“Don’t let ’em wear even the
uniform. Them boys thought they
were right, in what they fought
and we know we were right, so
won’t do to let the Germans who know (
that what they’re fighting for amt:
