Seraal Big Concerns In
Parish Ghre Dollar to Red
Cross For Every Dollar
Given by Employees
When, the F. B. Williams Cypress
Company of Patterson announced
that they would give a dollar to the
St. Mary Chapter of the American
Red Cross Society for every dollar
given by their employees during the
present week (and loan the em
ployees the amount they wished to
contribute) they struck a method of
expressing their patriotism that is
proving popular in other parts of the
parish. Brownell-Drews Lumber
Company of Morgan City and the
Ramos Lumber Company have stated
that they will follow out the plan
suggested by the Patterson patriots.
Not only are these big concerns giv
ing a dollar for every dollar contri
buted by their employees but they
are loaning the money to their em
ployees and permitting them to re
turn it in installments which will be
easily met Other employers will pro
bably fall in line on this plan in or
der to encourage the support of the
Red Cross Society and to again
place St Mary Chapter in the lead
of all chapters in the State.
The Texas Company and the
Weddel-Wilhams Lumber Company
of Morgan City have announced that
they will ask each employee to con
tribute one day's salary to the 8t
Mary Red Cross Chapter. Th<
companies will give their men the
privilege of paying their donation
fa monthly installments. Beth these
concerns are large employers end
their assistance in the Red Cross
work will help tremendously.

A Construction Company now lay
ing the foundation for a great ship
yard in Morgan City, will probably
join Mr. J. F. Wilhelm, a partner in
the concern, here in a few days. The
former gentlemen are now in Wash
ington attending to further details
of their ship building contrat- is.
Contracts have been closed for not
less than $2,000,000 worth of ships
to be built at this yard and this pre
liminary order is to be delivered
within 18 months. It is said that the
contracts calls for the hulls o 1 ten
wooden vessels only and that the
big firm of contractors is now figur
ing with the Shipping Board on fur
nishing the vessels complete. This
would mean that the contract price
of the vessels would run nearly twice
the amount represented by the cost
of the hulls only. ,
ORGANIZATIONS AND INDIVID
UALS INVITED BY RED
CROSS TO HELP PAY FOR
SOLDIERS' MESS HALL.
Do you not want to add your
name to the list of patriotic organi
zations, firms and individuals who
are volunteering to give financial
aid to the Red Cross Society in the
expense they have incurred in erect
ing the screened mess hall in Law
rence Park for Company "C". The
total cost of the building is $250.00
and the St. Mary Chapter of the Red
Cross is giving $150.00 of this
amount. The khaki boys now station
ed here have quarters where they
may get all the pleasure possible
during their training period and dur
ing their service here as guards for
important structures along the
Southern Pacific. Soon they may be
called to cross the Atlantic to take
their places alongside onr allies on
the firing lines. But while they are
still here, you may be one who con
siders it a pleasure as well as a pri
vilege to take part in the work that
has been done to insure their com
fort and good health.

will be glad to receive your dona
tions and add your name to the list

WEED CUTTING
Have you complied witfa the ordi
nance of the city, to cut the weeds
in front or in the rear of your pro
perty? Proper notice has been given
the property holders to this effect
by Commissioner of Streets Squires,
and if arrests are made as a conse
quence of disobeyance of the man
dates of the ordinance, it may be
humilating, therefore it would be a'
wise move on the part of those who
have neglected thie work, to get
basy and dear this unsightly growth
from their property. Left all help
to make it, "The City Beautiffal."
Manager Loeb Gives Red
Cross Big Boost
With a splendid picture program,
the leceipts from which were entire
ly donated to the St. Mary Chapter
of the Red Cross, also the returns
from the surprise auction package
donated by the Imperial Jewelry
Company was sold on bids by Mana
ger Loeb of the Evangeline, about
$90.00 was netted for the parish
chapter of the great war relief soc
iety. Manager Loeb donated the
gross receipts of the performance
and by skillfully crying the auction
of the surprise package, he added
$37.00 to the picture show returns.
The package was purchased by Mr.
Jake Levy at a cost to him of $15.45.
The surprise proved to be a beauti
fully piece v î cut glass.
The Red Cross program for Mon
day was in the hands of Lieutenant
Mrs. M. P. Palmer. All ticket sales
were in her hands and the • citizens
of Morgan City and vicinity re
sponded to her approaches by buy
ing every ticket offered for sale.
NEWSPAPER VS. DODGERS
Morgan City, La. June 18-17.
Mr. C. E. King,
Editor Morgan City Daily Review
Dear Sir:—
About the first of this month we
advertised a special 10 day June
sale in your paper, we were very
agreeably surprised at the results,
heretofore we have been using big
hand bills and did not think that any
other form of advertising would
pay, this year we used your medium
exclusively, and found that we not
only got a better class of trade, but
our business was equally as good as
our previous sales, at a much less
expense.
We will be in a position in a few
days to contract for further space,
as we expect to put on our annual
pre-inventory sale, in a few weeks.
Yours truly,
Henry Loeb Co., Ltd.
Mrs. M. P. Palmer takes this
method of extending her thanks in
behalf of the St. Mary Chapter of
the Red Cross Society to those who
have so generously met the occas
sion and eepecially Mr. Sol Loeb for
his donation of the gross receipts of
the Evengeline Tuesday night, also
the Imperial Jewelry Company for
their contribution of the beautiful
cut glass piece which was given
away at that time, also Mr. Cyrus
Angellox for his services and the use
of his automobile, and each of those
who purchased tickets for the bene
fit performance.
THE LOVE THIEF
Juanita, a Mexican girl, falls in
love with Arthur Boyle, an Ameri
can army captain, and through a
ruse induces his fiancee, Clara Nel*
son, to break off the engagement.
When Jaunita sees that even then
she cannot make Boyce love her, her
affection turns into hatred.
In a raid on a border town, Clare
is taken prisoner by Jaunita and ,her
ally, Costa. Boyce, who goes to the
rescue, is captured himself. How
ever, the two Americans get togeth
er, outwit their guards, and make
off toward the United States fron
tier. i
Juanita starts in pursuit, but is
shot down by American soldiers in
a battle with the Mexican squad she
is leading. Boyce and Clare are re
united.
