The following clipping from
the Lake Charles Press, very
truthfully remarks:
"The monied men of Lake
Charles are learning that the
more they make the more they
must spend for the town, and
that the more they spend for the
town the more they make. A
town is never complete any more
than a private fortune, there is
always room to expand. Towns
that throw money out by the
shoveful in wise investments get
money back by the carloads.
Some Of our moneyed men have
yet to learn the truth of this
economic axiom, and could study
it with advantage. .-Thibodaux

small apparatus. weighing only Il
few pounds. and without the aid
or ga, or steam power. OF dyna-
mo, sufficient current can be gem
Grated for lighting any ordinary

conducted over Ii period Of some

striking results can be obtained
by this method, and that the eur
