The Suffrage Prison Spe-|
cial Comes to Louisiana
With the arrival in this State with
in a week of the suffrage Prison
Special of the National Woman's
Party, one of the most significant j
suffrage events in some years breaks
in the heart of the South. Whether
the South likes the idea or not, these
women represent the rebellion in the
present demand of women for the
vote. These are the women who
have refused to be put off any longer,
who have made the political demand,
and been willing to go to prison, le
gally or illegally, for what they be
lieve in.
The Suffrage Special maxes a com
plete circle of the country, visiting
the largest cities. It touches the Ca
nodian line and the Gulf of Mexico,
the Pacific and the Atlantic coasts.
The Southern Cities including the
itinerary are the strategic points of
the South. They are Jacksonville,
Florida; Knoxville, Tennessee; New
Orleans, and San Antonio, Texas.
There are twenty suffrage prison
ers on the train, omitting the com
plement of stenographers who pre
pare press ^material and have charge
of literature. These women are from
ten States in the Union, and repre
sent the South, the Northwest, the
'west and the east. Four are from
the South and six are froin New
York City or State. All have served
terms in prison varying from three
days to seven months.
The total number of days served
by the whole prison train is 1084 days
in the workhouse and district jail at
Washington, D. C. Miss Lucy Burns,
of New York, has been "given the
longest sentences—six terms, aggre
gating 261 days. Miss Burns is the
manager of the Special's tour* and is
an Irich American girl, educated at
Vassar and at Glasgow University
abroad.
"From Prison to People" is the
lslogan of the Special. Another slo
gan is : "When 200 American Women
are willing to go to Prison, there's a
reason." The Prison Special is tell
ing that reason: They are pointing
out that the present so called Dem
ocratic Administration has for six
years blocked the enfranchisement of
women, though women in all parts of
the world have been enfranchised
during the war. They are pointing
out not only Administration respon
sibility for suffrage but for the hu
militating and illegal arrests and im
prisonments of hundreds of American
women for protesting for their liber
ty. They are demanding action now
before the adjournment of the pres
ent Congress.
Millions of mothers keep "Califor
Kiia Syrup of Figs" handy; they know
a teaspoonful today saves a sick child
tomorrow. Ask your druggist for a
bottle of "California Syrup of Figs,'
which has directions for babies, chil
dren of all ages and grown-ups print
ed on the bottle. Beware of coun
terfeits sold here, so don't be fooled.

Industry Recovering
And Advancing
Sudden termination . ot the great
war caused American industry to halt
and hesitate—but for a short time on
ly
Our vast enterprises had just been
effectively put on a wat basis and the
quick change to peace basis was like
a plunge from hot into cold water.
The industries ot Lafourche, of
course—be the factory or staple pro
duction of foodstuffs or their distri
bution—could not help being some
what efferted; but the fork in the
road has been passed and the path to
future prosperity lies straight ahead.
Lafourche is going to prosper as
never before. It is in the air. Re
construction means work for every
body.
All authorities agree that when the
army is demobiized and all our men
have been returned to productive em
ployments, there will he at least five
years of as intensified and energetic
prosperity, with all classes sharing
therein, as the country ever dreamed
of.
i- The Gazette believes this is true.
Let, us all prepare for the coming
; avalanche of good times. Let there
be no unrest among our orkmen—
merely patience. The plums are just
ahead.
The need of the country is produc
tion. Everybody is in the market for
the products of our factories. Not a
man or oman in Thibadaux but who
does not know of things they stand
ready to buy—things they need in the
home, and for themselves.
Just wait until the buying move
ment starts—and it is about to begin
—and every man and woman in the
country will be employed.—Thibo
daux Gazette.
New Time March 30th
The present working hours will
have the floor up to 2 a. m. March
30th.
Many seem to be of the opinion
that the act approved March 19th.
1918, carried only for the period of
the war. The act itself, however,
bears the phrase "in each year" with
out qualification. No further legis
lation is necessary to go hack to the
summer schedule of saving that hour
of daylight . .
And if the old-timers whe resent
meddling with "God's time" want to
discontinue the practice, they'll have
to summon a vote strong enough to
repeal that law in Congress.
The hour and day for setting the
clock ahead is 2 a. m„ Sunday March
30th. 1919. and the hour for resuming
the old schedule is 2 a. m. Sunday,
October 26th, the last Sunday in each
of the two months.—Thibodaux Ga
zette.

Red Cross Activities Only
Slightly Curtailed by
War's End
Relief Work Goes Forward in
Great Volumn and Our 6000
Workers Are Now in France
Washington, D. C., Feb. 18.—Evi
dence that activities of the American
Red Cross in France are only slightly
curtailed by end of hostilities came
today with the announcement from
National Headquarters that the war
council has arranged for the immed
iate shipment to France of textiles
valued at $4,532,880 to meet the acute
need for wearing apparel among
thousands of people making an effort
to reestablish themselves in recover
ed areas.
France now is the American supply
base for Europe. The announcement
stated the Red Cross had 6070 work
ers in /France February 1, and indi
cations were a gfeat majority will be
kept there some time. The action of
the Red Cross will make available for
those in need in many parts of
Europe 13,500,000 yards of material
commonly used in manufacturing ref
ugee garments, divided as follows:
Outing Flannel, 6,000,000 yards ; un
bleached muslin, 2,500,000 yards;
twilled jeans, 1,400,000 yards; black
asteen, 1,100,000 yards; bathrobing,
500.000 yards; dress goods and suiting,
500.000 yards ; canton flannel, 500.000
yards; gingham, 500.000 yards and
bleached muslin, 500,000 yards.
It is one o fthe largest single items
of relief ever authorized by the Red
Cross. The material, which will be
fashioned into clothing by the people
who are to deceive it, is in addition to
great quantities of refugee garments
turned out in Red Cross workrooms
in this country and forwarded over
seas. ^
The garment cloth will be distrib
uted by the Red Cross, and it is plan
ning to establish relief depots in
liberated territories at Lille, Amiens,
Laon, Mezieres, Chalons and Verdun,
the ware rouses at these points being
stocked with supplies to meet emer
gency needs of returning civilian ref
ugees. The territory has ween divid
