S. W. Allen probably is the only
man in Seattle who ever pawned
money.
With Christmas approaching
he's trying to figure out Just how
he's going to make merry on the
pawn ticket.
Pawn tickets may be an asset,
especially when they call for good
United States money, but they
won't look at them in the toy
shops, stores and refreshment
shops" Allen said.
Allen is a waiter. Money was
not coming in as rapidly as he de-
sired when the Lincoln penny craze
was on, and he thought he saw
some easy money in specializing in
the pennies. He sold thousands of
them. Then everybody seemed to
be supplied and the pennies were
a drug on the market. The money
he had made in the penny specula-
ton came easy and went the same
way. Then Allen got hard up. He
kept SIS worth of souvenir pennies
for several months. He took them
to a pawn shop.
"If l could get the brownies out
of hook l could make some money
on them" Allen said. They would
go like hot cakes at the lunch
counter, but how am I going to
raise the money, and Christmas
coming is beyond me. I've played
in hard luck before, but this is the
hardest hard luck game I ever
went up against"

THE CANAL AND THE NAVY

On the last day Of October there
! passed in review the 1O2 vessels
of the Atlantic fleet at New York.
and the "a vessels comprising the
Pacific fleet, at San Pedro; an
aggregate displacement Of $4,000
tons of fighting ships and their
floating auxiliaries. Of frst-class
battleships we now have IS af1oat
which cost approximately $780,
100000.
The Panama Canal will cost
about $4OO,OOO,OOO. but in this
connection it is stated that the
canal will practically double the
efficiency of the Navy. While
this is general statement, which
under special conditions might
not hold good in all respects. it
is not unreasonable to assume that
the canal will give Us a new asset
in our Navy amounting to sum
nearly, if not entirely, equal to
the cost of the canal. In other
words, while the canal does tie up
millions long in advance Of their
expenditure for ships in the ordi-
nary course of the nations
growth. nevertheless the asset is
there. Moreover, the interest
operating expenses on. say, $1O,-
000.00 invested in the canal.
which gives MS the equivalent of
one new battleship, do not begin
to equal the interest and operat-
ing expenses on $10,0OO,OOO spent
on battleship. The two items
of fuel and payroll alone will en-
phasize this. OF course. the canal
does not make battleships unnec-
essary; IN fact. it will doubtless
necessitate additional ones, but
this will be on account of greatly
increased and expanded trade by
sea. and there must be adequate
naval power to protect this trade.

the owners Of small buildings
which will necessarily be vacant
in the course of time, to say moth
ing Of the loss of trade by the
merchants. Instead Of steady
gain Of factories to give employ
ment to labor it seems to be our
great misfortune to lose what we
now have. Our people should
lose no opportunity in trying to
make up this loss by offering in
ducements at once to some other
style Of manufacture that might
be looking for location. Some
thing should be done to counter
act the loss.
The roads at present through
out both, New Iberia and the Par
ish are in as bad a condition as
they have ever been, notWith-
standing the fact trat in this City
thousands Of dollars has been
spent in years past draining and
sIoping, so as to relieve the roads
of the surplus water due to the
! heavy rains. Is it not time that
the principal thoughfares Of New
iberia, especially Main and st.
Peter Streets and all the streets
intersecting leading to Washing
ton Avenue he paved and forever
give the people relief from the
mud puddles that are a disgrace
to any community the size of
! New Iberia. Why not make a
move at once to sewer and then
pave and give the taxpayers
something for their money that
they can point to with pride and
enjoy at the same time. Even
the little town Of Donaldsonville,
81 uated on the Mississippi river
with 5000 population has put
down five miles Of paving and
from what we can understand the
citizens of that place are anxious
for mere improvements of that
nature. What impression docs
New iberia create on a stranger
when he steps off a train to pay
us visit. more especially when
he receives a communication adj
dressed to him giving the number
of the location. such as. for in
stance room 6. 7 or s Masonic
Temple and when he reaches here
he don't know whether to char
ter boat or team to pull him
through the mud. How long are
these conditions to confront those
who would like to see change.
Certainly we cannot expect
strangers to locate with us and
rent our vacant buildings under
these conditions.

MICHEL TO CARRY NORTH
LOUISIANA.

A special from Shreveport to
the Picayune of December 18th
said:
Michel has the vote getters
with him in this north Louisiana
country.
This simple fact, to my mind, is
the most significant feature to
the north Louisiana political sit
uatioi today. They are making
no loud noise at this stage, but
intimate contact with some of
the generals and lieutenants OF
this army of quiet workers during
the past twenty-four hours has
been convincing that their efforts
will tell on Jan. %.
From early morn until late to-
night John T. Michel was busy
meeting north Louisiana electors.
Unable to make the Minden en-
gagements. he has taken advant-
age of the opportunity to conduct
two days campaign from this
center, which closed tonight with
the big Michel demonstration al
the Opera House.
That a powerful Michel tide has
set it up here cannot be doubted.
The recent exposures Of Judge
Hall and DR.. Aswell. the would
be savoirs of the State, are hav-
ing their effect in the hill par
ishes. There is a better Michel
sentiment in Caddo today than at
any time since the opening of the
campaign. The Phoenix Hotel
lobby has been crowded with
prominent north Louisiana men
all day. The scene resembled old
convention days.
Webster. Bossier. De Sofa,
Bienville and Caddo Parishes were
strongly represented here today.
A crowd of drummers were here,
who travel over the northern par
ishes.

GUEYDAN'S SCHEME,

While in North Louisiana speak
ing with Judge Hall ito the blue
eyed and flaxon-haired descend
, ants of Anglo Saxon sires, sons of
Erin und das fatherland, Gueydan
/ could find nothing to say against
his opponent. Senator Barrett, eX-
cept that he had the support of
the ring in New Orleans. But
"observez-vous." just as soon as
he got back to South Louisiana he
returned to the French language
and began to tell the boys that
Senator Barret "sneered" at the
Creole.
For sectional selfishness and eff
fort to invite national animosities.
this is about the smallest thing We
have seen during the campaign.
Any one who knows Tom Barrel,
with his genial smile and urbane
manners, and knows that he was
once a newsboy and a wood haul
err, will laugh at Gueydan's at
tempt to make him naughty.
Guyedan's effort is a reflection
on the intelligence of the Creole,
who always stand for fairness,
good faith and sincerity, and its
dollars to doughnuts that they re-
sent this puny attempt on JAN
uary 23rd next by voting for Tom
Barrett for Lieutenant Governor.
The earnest interest Senator
Barrett has always shown in the
development of South and South
west Louisiana, and especially in
establishing and creating the La
fayette Industrial School, should
forever give him warm place in
the hearts Of our Creole fellow
citizens.-Monroe Star.

A HARVEST FOR
WAGE FARMERS.

No farmer expects crop when
he has net sown the seed. If you
leave weeks. months and years roll
by without sowing seed you need
not look for a crop. Now is the
time to make up your mind to
save. Put a small sum in the
Building Association, and when
your rainy day comes your ac-
count will mean to you what g
good crop does to the farmer.
