WORK FOR BIG THINGS
The future of "'e new-old Algiers Improvement Association, and its
le to this con .:.un::. \ill depend greatly upon the policy it will pursue.
the sincetit:. of tih e behind the movement. The two or three pre-:
ras associatio' ,i! f inanlition, that is. after it had taken up hundreds I
dpetty, picayuni-', vi:lati,ns. it had exhausted the ambition of those who :
eready to w,'k :. the bi: thing for our district, with the consequences'i
t it passed tI :. " :.t' of rest.
The Herald -.,,n-'i ready to support the new association so long as its
hject is to do an I !'et hit thines for our district. We have often called
.tation that s,:.. ,o~ the big things to take up for the \Vest Side of the
ldr are:
A Public Park of lar-er area.
The building of new roads that will open new country for our markets.
The further deugl lopment of our Naval Station.
The municipal owncrship of our ferries.
The location of nrw industries that will be able to operate here after
te ferry barrier is removed.
The establishment of a telegraph office in our district.
The free delivery of express packages, and the same service as is given
l the city.
The development ouf our farm lands adjacent to our district.
The establishment of a building and loan association.
These are the big things, Mr. Association, that should take up your
ae, do not waste it on little things. Our association should be conducted
gng the same lines as the Association of Commerce. If you will stick
f the big things and work to that end, your association will grow with the
test people of our district as its members.
It was The Ilerald, who several years ago, and in subsequent issues
at year and this year, advocated that a bill be presented to the legislature
seating a ferry commission, this commission to issue bonds for the purpose
t purchasing the physical property of the ferry company, and operating
a ferries for the benefit of the people.
When this ferry franchise was sold about twelve years ago it brought
I handsome sum, to the city of New Orleans, of over a quarter of a mil
l dollars. This great amount of money, together with the ferriage
urge, amounts to another tax for the privilege of living on the west side
g the river. It goes without saying that Mayo, Behrman will favor
alcilpal ownership of ferries, as municipal ownership has been his slo
ps from the beginning of his administration as mayor of the city of New
Or(eans. The public belt railroad, the dock board, the levee board, all
riad out as good argument in favor of municipal control of public utilities.
WHY AND WHY NOT.
A New York farmer predicts, because of the over production of pota
res sad their low price this year, that a much smaller area of potatoes will
- pliated next year.
The National City Bank of New York says that "fortunes are made.
pt by taking wealth away from anybody, but by saving wealth which would
ahlrwlse go to waste."
Twelve hundred men employed in the great distilleries of Peoria, Ill.,
use thrown out of employment recently when the bill, prohibiting distilling
a whiskey, went into effect.
Congressman Kahn of California is urging that Congress adjourn
gickly in order that its members may take the stump throughout the
.aitry to suppress seditious sentiment.
The Virgin Islands, recently bought by us from Denmark, will cost us
$ 0 N a year to support. Denmark formerly made up the deficit by
ales of a State lottery. Lotteries are forbidden in the United States.
The "wets" of Mason City, Iowa, recently organized a "funeral" pro
-d.S across the border in Minnesota and had the hearse as well as many
. e aches well stocked with liquor.
Ia Western cities thrift campaigns have given rise to a new form of
WmI kmown as "discount coins," made of tin and issued on all cash
mss, in denominations from half a cent to twenty-five cents.
. A.. member of Congress has introduced a bill making it unlawful for
imae "to require or permit" conductors, trainmen, porters and other
l .sees to wear winter uniforms in June, July and August.

E\ery once in a while something
must be said about church finances.
It is a disagreeable task but absolute
lyv necessary if the work of the church
is to go on without interruption. Mt th
(livet is supported by voluntary offer
ings. We have been using the l)u- t
ilex Envelope System for some timle.
It is by far the best when properly bt
used; but so many fail to use it prop
erly. Now what we need in Mt. Ol- u
ivet is recular contributors towaf4ls
the support of the church in order
that the work of the parish may be it
continued and its services held as in Of
times past on every Sunday. There-to
fore all members of the congregation
are.hereby urged to attend the church
services and to meet their financial
obligations promptly. Services next ti

All Saints Day. 7 a. m., Holy Com
munion and sermon. T
Today we are thinking of those
who have '.gone before." And in our
love for them we turn to the Book of p1
Revelation and there we find the
blessed hope and assurance of rest
I and peace for the dead in Christ.
"Blessed are the dead who die in the
Lord, for they rest from their la- al
bors." But we also find ourselves in
a world of mystery. A mysterious I
curtain of silence has fallen which
we cannot penetrate or remove. Christ cu
came. He lived His life. He preached cl
1 His Gospel. "Let not your heart be '
troubled. I go to prepare a place for a
you. That where I am ye may be 1'
also." Thus He comforts the disci- tl
ples with the hope of heaven. But w
for full, accurate details of the futfure ii
life, we do not and we cannot know. e
And yet the Bible is full of hope and c
comfort. '-There remaineth a rest for c
the epople of God." ''So he giveth I
a his beloved sleep." In every one of li
L us there is the consciousness of self. n
the consciousness of soul. And this T
consciousness is immortal. And in s
9 that state of the dead there comes to a
y each not only light and peace, rest tl
and refreshment, but also progression '
in the knowledge and love of God. '
The good work of God will not be
V ended until "the perfect day" is come
"in the day of Jestys Christ." Yes. S
, the dead who die in the Lord are
blessed. They rest from their labors.
But the redeeming work of Christ
goes on until the imperfect is gradu
r ally perfected even as He is perfect. V
r\ r believe in the Communion of
Saints, in the unity of Christians on
earth and in Paradise, as we pray, we 1
- of the Church on earth for those of
Sthe church at rest. "Gitant them. O
SLord, eternal rest, and may light per
Spetual ahlne upon them." May we
Swith them be partakers of thine ever
lasting kingdom. To, the church and
the Bible we turn today, and there
we find the Blessed Sacrament and
Wtords of sweetest blessing and con
solation: "Blessed are the dead. who
die in the Lord, for they rest from
their labors"--Amen.

Last Sunday was a busy day with
o the workers at the church. At 11 a.
fy m., the pastor's text was Romans 10:

d might be saved." The Junior choir
sang as voluntary "Help us Father."

THE HYGENIC, MODERN BAKERY.
The city of Algiers should be justly
proud of the bakery and confection
ery conducted by M. Blanck, without
doubt one of the cleanest and most
sanitary bakeries conducted in the
state. Mr. Blanck some seven months
ago had a fire that destroyed his en
tire plant, and, adopting new and
modern methods, built the present
building where all kinds of breads,
cakes and candies may be had. espe
cial attention being paid to Christ
mas and wedding cakes. Here, too,
appreciating the high cost of living,
Mr: Blanck is serving to the public
the same loaf of bread served else
where at a much smaller cost, offer
ing to the public a ten-cent loaf at
eight cents, a six-cent loaf at five
cents and a five cent loaf at four
cents. Doing business on a small
margin, Mr. Blank gives to the pub
lic more for their money's worth than
many other bakers in the same business
The daily output of the plant is some
seven thousand loaves, and this fact
alone is the best recommendation of
the kind of bread that they serve to
to public. Give him a call at 922
Teche street, and get your money's
worth.

LATIN-AtMERICANS I
TO BUY BREEDING
STOCK AT AUCTION
Big Attendance From Tropics i
Expected By National Fair
Manager.
Indications are that a greater num
ber of Latin-Americans will attefnd the
National Farm and Live Stock Show\ a
at New Orleans. Nov. l, to 19, than t
have ever visited any fair in the Init- I
ed States, with the possible exception a
of the Panama-Pacific exjposition Own
ers of "haciendas" in South and Cen- ,
tral America, the West Indies andt
Mexico see In the New Orleans show
ah opportunity to acquire the superior I
grades of foundation live stock which I
all of them are seeking.
Wide publicity for the show has been
achieved throughout all the Latin. .
American republics. More thaw one I
hundred export houses in New Oc,
leans and other southern cities hav.
assisted the fair management in the
distribution of over 100.000 pieces of
advertising literature in Spanish and
Portuguese. Advertising and news
matter has been carried in a number
of periodicals circulating in the
tropics.
Governor Pleasant of Louisiana has
extended to the presidents of the vari
ous republics, with their staffs, an
official invitation to be present. The
"great white fleet" of the United Fruit
Company, the Mexican Navigation
Company, the Cuyamel Fruit Com
pany, Vaccaro Brothers, and other
steamship lines are making special
passenger rates for the term of the
fair from all their ports, and also will
make low rates on shipments of live
stock purchased at the sales during
the fair.
Now that two great packing houses,
Morris '& Co. and Wilson & ('o., have
begun operations in New Orleans and
are making that city the principal
market for cattle imported fron the'
tropics, a great impetus is being given
stock production throughout the Latin
republics. At the same time, a logical
reason has been brought to exist why
the Latin-American raisers will regard
the Crescent City as the best point of
contact with the United States in nll
matters pertaining to the cattle In
dustry. All the United States con
suls in the Latin-American countries
are aiding in the distribution ol infor
mation pertaining to the New Orleans
show.
The Pan-American Club of New Or.
leans will be host to the Latin-Amer
Ican visitors at the fair, and will pro
vide interpreters. These visitors will
be enrolled in the Live Stock Buyers'
Convention and will be among the
most eager purchasers at the auction
sales which will be held Thursday,
Friday and Saturday, Nov. 15 to 17
Several hundred personal letters have
been written by the fair management
in response to inquiries from the
Latin-American territory.
With the show covering such a great
foreign field, breeders in this country
will find it an excellent medium for
disposing of pure-bred live stock.
MODEL DAIRY BARN
AT NATIONAL SHOW
A model dairy barn has beet*erect
ed on the fair grounds at New Or
leans and will be in actual operation
during the second annual National
Farm and Live Stock Show, to be held
Nov. 10-19. Silo demonstrations will
be given in connection. Almost every
modern and practical labor-saving de
vice is included in the dairy barn out
fit. A home-made stall and stanclon
which costs but o50 cents to make will
be on exhibition.
The dairy barn will be under charge
of C. H. Staples and C. W. Radway of
the Louisiana agricultural extPn.lor.
department, and L. A. Higglns and
his assistants of the Mlssis-li;pl dairy
extension service will also be on har.,I
to answer all questions peramnlrg to

FINE OPPORTUNITY
Will Bring Greatest Exhibit To
National Farm and Live
Stock Show.
rie I nited Statgs i. coming to the
Natlonal F'ari' adi Live Stuok Show
at New ().e.ins. Nov. I -I'. prepared
to tell t e t1.i iier all it know 4, snud to
illlst~.i the.( reason for asi taat it
asks and adici-es
This is the first timtn that the I'nit
ed States has sent its griat agricul
tural exhihit to this .iection. This is
war time and the government is very
busy. It is sparing the time and the
men because it realizes that the south
Is bound to be'tht main food source
of the future, and it believes that by
coming to New Orleans it will be able
to reach most of the south at one
time.
The United States department of
agriculture had a great display at the
Pananl'aPacifih Exposition, and thou
sands voted it a revelation and t mar
vel. The exhibit has been made much
larger for the approaching occasion. It
will be like a veritable four-ring cir
cus of agricultural acts and features.
and it will have dozens of experts
along to explain the displays and give
further information. it will run the
finest kind of a moving picture show
all day, and it will have frequent lec
tures in addition. There will even be
chiefs of departments like Dr. George
H. Rommel. head of the animal hus
bandry bureau. and probably Tr. Brad
ford Knapp of the states relations ser
vice, and others.
As the exhibit will crowd 12.000
square feet of space, and will be a
complete fair in itself. it would require
a book to give the' details. Wherever
the products themselves are not used.
there are artificial duplicates, and
there are models of all sorts of build
ings to serve as guider to the farm
ers. There are collections of all the
insects that affect crops, stuffed ani
mals and birds that have direct bear
Ing on agriculture, miniature orchards
and forests, and a thousand other
things. Meat inspection is shown to
all its phases, with a tiny abbatoir Il
