The time is approaching to give
thought to bringing Christmas cheer
to the American soldiers an! suil
ovs abroad. ,
Arrangements have been perfect- j
ad whereby the Christinas mail to
the American Expeditionary Forces
in Europe is to be delivered by
Christmas morning. iWthout the
fullest cooperation or» the part
the public it will be impossible
accomplish this result.
The three cssunti-tl respects in (
which the public can aid ir assuring .
a happy Christmas at the front are: ;
MAIL EARLY; ADDRESS INTEL
LIGENTLY, and PACK SECURE
LY. For this reason it is urgently
requested that all persons having
Christmas mail for soldiers and saM
ors and the civilian units attached
to the army in Europe observe
closely the following directions:
1 Mails to reach the soldiers in
Franca by Christmas morning must
be posted not later than November
15.
2. Every package must bear con
spicuously the words "CHRISTMAS
MAIL," the complete address of the
person for whom it is intended, and,
in the upper left-hand corner, the

ed and wrapped as to admit of easy

From The Houma Times:
The Pelican Lake and
Packing Company ,one of
bonne's greatest Industries,
has for the past few months
Oyster
Terre
which
been
engaged in the canning of pumpkins
seems to be holding its own in the
pumpkin trade, which is indicated
by the large shipments of this fruit
from here to the Northern and
Western consumers. Several tons
of pumpkins have been canned by
this factory since the season has
opened, and it is pointed out by au
thority, that it will be several more
weeks before all the pumpkins in
this parish shall have been convert
ed into canned goods where they
really belong.
From the Meyefield Kentucky Time*
Suppose a merchant does $50,000
worth of business in a year at an
expense say of $10,000. With the
same store, same equipment and
same help in most cases it would be
possible to handle 50 per cent more
business, or $75,000 in the year. If
he could procure the additional
$25,000 in business by advertising,
and he can, say at a cost of $1,200
or one hundred dollars per month,
instead of making him increase the
price of goods, or reducing his prof
it, it would give him $25,000 in ad
ditional business at an added cost of
but $1,200 or less than one-fourth
j of what his first or second $25,000
business cost.

From St. Mary Banner:
Every property tax payer in St.
! Mary Parish should remember that
! Tuesday, November 13th, is the day
i upon which they can help the cause
I of education by voting for the im
j position of the one and ope-half mill
special tax, to meet the deficit in the
school funds. This election is not
like one wherein the money derived
from the tax is used for public im
I provement. In the latter case, one
! may reasonably obejet to voting for
; jihe t|ix and placing the burden of
I the debt on future generations, but
argument cannot hold good in
the present case. The tax is ilh
posed for only ten years, and those
!of the future generations are the
! sole recipients of its benefits. For
years Louisiana was under the ban»,
ful curse of illiteracy, and now that
the shadow is being Temoved, we
cannot afford to chance a return to
former conditions for the sake of
a few hundreds of dollars. The
foundation on which rests the free
institutions of Republican govern
ment is the education of the masses.
One may oppose special taxes for
most purposes, but education is not
a purpose. It is a sacred obliga
tion, and that which may throw an
obstacle in its way, arrests the
march of progress. Vote for the
tax Mr. Citizen, and if you have a
friend paying property taxes and
not registered, get the proxy of that
person and vote it.

Second Story Brashear
Budding Destroyed By

Flames In Midst of Flim
sy Structures
At 4:46 p. m. Tuesday afternoon
'Morgan City Fire Department
answered an alarm of fire coming
from the Brashear Building occu
pied by the Peoples Drug Company
and the Fahrenholtz Barber Shop.
The flames had gained such headway
by the time the call was sent in that
they were bursting from the upper
story of the two-story frame struc
ture. Within three minutes after the
alarm was sounded the fire fighters
were playing four streams of water
on the building and within five min
] utes eight nozzles were directed
against the blaze. Although the
fire got hold enough to burn the
roof completely off of the building
and to demolish the walls of the sec
ond story, the flames were confined
to the upper part of the bujlding
and the lower rooms and stock* son
tained were only water damaged.
Every onlooker considered the
Brashear Building doomed to total
destruction and alarm was felt for
the entire block because of the in
flammable nature of the frame
buildings adjoining this building and
adjugent and when within a few
minutes after their arrival th»
splendid fire fighting forces had
won complete control over the sMu

to the building is estimated at
$1500. No insurance was carried
on the building. The stocks of the
Peoples Drug Company and the fix
tures of the Fahrenholtz Shop were
damaged more or less by water and
both stocks covered Ijy insurance.
