TUG OWNERS SAY
THREE MATE LAW
WORKS HARDSHIP

Vessel owners look upon the deci-
sion of the Department of Commerce.
insisting ON three licensed mates, as
requiring them to perform an impos-
eibility. They say that as the law re-
ouires men TO he citizens OF the
United states and TO have passed an
examination before the United States
inspectors of steam Vessels, after
having had several years experience
before application is made, precludes
tho ordinary men from filing such
positions
This law is plain on the subject, II
says that every vessel of LOCO gross
tens and over. propelled by machinery
shall have in her service and on board
three licensed mates, who shall stand
IA three watches while such vessel is
being navigated, unless such vessel is
engaged in a run of less than 400 miles
from the port of departure 10 the port
of final destination. then such vessel
shall have two licensed mates; and
every vessel of 200 gross tons and less
than 1000 gross tons propelled by ma
chinery. shall have two licensed mates.
That every such vessel of 100 gross
tons and under 200 gross tons. propel~
led by machinery shall have on board
and in her service one licensed mate;
but VI such vessel is engaged In "a
! trade in which the time required TO
, make the passage from the port of
departure TO the port of destination
. exceeds "a hours. then such vessel
. shall have two licensed mates.
The law requiring three mates does
does not affect the tugboats and
: steamboats, out OF Wilmin gton. it was
3 explained today. as they do not run
400 miles from port and therefore arc
Z required TO have but one or two
3 mates, according to the size Of the
3 vessel. The new law as yet has work
+ cd no inconvenience to the Whining.

Wants a SINGING Convention.

Dear Friends: Time, fleeing time,
has passed and we are glad to say that
we are still in the land Of the living. We
are thankful that things are no worse
than they are. We owe much to our
Creator, who has brought US safely thus
far, and why should we not be up and
doing something!
If fast asleep you cannot tell
Just when the clapper hits the bell.
How true is this! Too many of us are
asleep-possibly on purpose-and do not
know what's going on, even in our own
community. Truly, opportunities to do
good in this world are swiftly passing US
by. Some one in deep sorrow needs a
cheerful word; some one in restitution,
kindly deed; some one in pity, a pre-
cious gift; some one in sins darkness, a
cheering song; some one in life's trav-
els, sunny smile. Let US come out OF
our old trance and fill the purpose OF
our creation saying, doing, giving,
singing and smiling.
Don't let your church, Sunday schools
and prayer meetings die for the lack OF
singing. Be awake! Be alert! Let the
world know that you are still living.
We are glad to say that we have heard
a great number of encouraging words
from the good people of Bossier Parish
as to the organization OF singing con-
vention. We trust you are interested il
this work. We would like for you tt
feel that you have very important par
both in this organization and in building
it to a high standard. We would like Il

Opposes Bond Issue for noads.

Editor Bossier Banner.
Dear Sir: | will briefif write my
views on the good roads question, but
will confne my remarks to the condi-
tions in ward four, in which live.
OF the fifty or sixty miles OF roads in
ward four the larger part is sand and
gravel and is never bad, and is never
effected by heavy rains more than for
day or two. The remaining fifteen CT
twenty miles, of white and red clay
roads, could be rocked and graveled at
small expense with material to be found
close at hand.
TO build single stretch of expensive
road from Plain Dealing, or any other
point, would cross places where not
needed, would benefit few people and
exhaust our resources. This principle
and plan might apply to other wards,
and where much larger expense would
be profitable it could be supplemented
by local taxation and donations by prop
erty owners. To raise large amount
of money at once by issuing bonds is not
necessary and would be ruinous to the
parish.
Let us improve on what we have done
and not go to extremes. Respectfully,
FARMER.
