From time to time there has been a

0gressman from this district, becom.
ig a candidate for governor. So far
gthing definite has come from the
ieu man as to whether he would 1

L. A. Brininstool, in the Christian
Herald: "We're shipping guns and
;shrapnel out to boost the European
1War, and still for 'peace' our people
shout and tell how bloodshed they ab
hor: Our ammunition makers smile as
foreign orders come their way; the
public eveyr little while beseeches for
'peace' to pray. We read fresh hor
rors in the news as correspondents do
their stunt, yet Yankee merchants
Idon't refuse to ship their powder to
the front. What mockery to God it is
for us to pray that peace may come,
while Yankee bullets hiss and whiz and
through the warring columns hum!
I 'Oh, let the dove of peace descend!' in
righteous, solemn tones we pray, while
Yankee shot and shrapnel rend the
º European ranks today! What hvpo
Scrites our people are to ask the Lord
to give us peace, then ship our guns
and shells afar that war and bloodshed
may not cease! Let's keep our powder
I home, dear friend, and ship no stuff to
rboost the war, and then perhaps the
SLord will send the peace that we are
praying for.

Keep on swatting
On the sly,
When he's not wotting.

Going, too;
SSWAT THE FLY
OR he'll swat YOU.

RELIEF WORK FOR
CAMERON SUFFERERS.
In responce to a call for aid for the
residents of lower Cameron parish who
suffered the loss of crops, cattle, homes
and even wearing apparel du ning the
-recent storm, Mayor W. B. Gabbert
early Monday appointed a committe
composed of one lady selected from the
membership of each church to solicit
funds, food and clothing for the imme
'diate relief of these unfortunate
I sufferers in our sister parish.
The committee, R. R. Arceneaux of
Ithe Catholic church, Mrs. J. B. Lee, of
the Methodist, Mrs. E. H. Boling from
the Bapist Mrs. Chas. Lantz of the Ad
ventist, and Mrs. R. S. Greer of the
Presbyterian Church, circulated in
their respective neighborhoods the re
quest for aid and food money and cloth.
ing were generously contributed which
was neatly packed by the members of
the committee Wednesday morning
and sent to the sufferers from the
ravages of that most disastrous storm.
Seven boxes of good servicable wear.
ing apparel was contrlbuted, which we
feel will be appreciated py the many
who are homeless and poorly clad.
The Committee desires to acknow
ledge reciept of a large lot of useful
articles contributed by the Ronoke
people which was received Thursday.
We should feel very grateful to our
Creator for sparing ns from this awful
storm, for no loss of lives or stock has
been reported to us in this section.
Welsh is well known throughont
.the State for her noble deeds and for
charity and hospitality to those who
are in distress. It matters not at what
time a call is sent out for help the
Welsh folks can always be found in the
front ranks. The Committee and the
people deserve considerable credit for
the prompt response to the call for help.
To those who are in ditress we desire
to say that we are sorry for you and
we are always ready to extend to you
a helping hand.

We've Canned the Cigarette.
(Lucy Page Gaston, head of the anti
cigarette league, is authority for the
statement that newspaper humor is on
the decline and will continue so until
theeditors quit smoking cigarettes.)
We've fallen down at jesting;
At least, they tell us so;
Our stuff's not interesting
Ah, 'tis a bitter blow!
We take a new start, though;
We'll score this time, you bet
The reason would you know?
We've canned the cigarette.
The subtle joke while questing
We now no longer go
To nicotine nerve-resting
The flthy weed-no, no!
"You got the makin's, Bo?"
(Notice the printer-Stet)
We answer soft and low
We've canned the cIgarette.
Our intellect 'twas beating;
We didn't have a show;
But Lucy's dope we're testing:
Ah, now the song will flow!
We fare forth Jestward hol
We'll be a jokesmith yet;
We'll hare our little crow
We've canned the cigarette.
Lucy, you're all the dough:
We're surely in your debt;
Smoke rings no more we blow
We've canned the cigarette.
