SAVE THE DOLLAR.

There are too many people spend
ing all the money they make and
not putting any aside for . rainy
day. The time will come whom
they will wish they had u little
money stored away. Ii man will
begin to save, it will not take him
long to have . nice bank account.
Some men draw all of their mo-
ney before pay day. When times
comes around to receive their
check they receive notice that they
have taken up all of their salary.
Then they begin to borrow and
the man who has to borrow money
will find it is a hard matter to ever
get even. The urgent necessity
of saving is apparent to all. No
matter how much salary a man
may earn, if he does not save some
of it. by opening a bank account,
he puts himself in position
which will III the future prove
embarrassing.
The people of today are too sx-
travagant. They do not seem to
realize the value Of dollar. There
are men today drawing handsome
salaries and yet they have nothing
to, show for it. While on the 9th.
er hand there are men drawing a
small salary who have more ready
cash than the man who receives
more. The man who puts money
aside is the man who will BIZ the
Uoss of the man who now throws
his money away.
There is no good reason why a
man cannot set aside part of his
income every month. TIE man
who fails to save is the man who
will soon be borrowing money and
the man who bOrrOws money rare
ly ever gets out of debt. 1t is an
easy matter to save money after
you once begin tho habit and the
sooner you begin the bettsr.-The

We will also soon feel the no
cessity of making provisions for q
better supply Of water and sys-
tenn of sewerage.
We must have these improve
msnts if We want to keep our rank
and standing among the progress
sive towns that are surrounding US.
they are not satisfied with build
ing a good system of cement side
walks, they are improving their
water works and electric light, are
paving the streets and building
sewerage systems which are ne
csssities every up-to-date town
must have.
You will also need at least a
thousand feet of new fire hose that
will cost you about one thousand
or twelve hundred dollars, as the
hose We now have are getting old
and some leak badly, and if we
were to have a serious fire asking
heavy water pressure, they might
not BIZ able to stand the test.
= Now, voters. it is too early tt
make political promises, it is time
for you to begin to think and seri
ously about what you will need il
the near future, and which YOU
must expect from your next towi
administration.

FACTS AND FIGURES.

It has been reported to us that
some of tho politicians who are !.
supposed to know better, and who
We know are better informed upon
this matter, have been trying to
make a big thing upon the matter
of printing as reported in the
yearly statement recently publish
ed, s3423S, "why this is enor.
nous, it is outrageous and the To-
gislature should change this print
ing law" were the remarks.
Now, lot US 60 into the details
and mako some comparison, and
when we are through We feel sa-
tisfied that these politicians will
drop this matter.
Yes, tho printing bill for this
administration was, from May 2Sth
1912 to May 31st 1913, S3422S.
but of this amount the Southwes-
tern Traction and Power Co., paid
for publishing special election
proceedings $llS25 and The Lou.
isians Electric Railway and Pow.
or Co., paid for the same purpose
S57.25 and the delinquent tax pay
ers for their advertisement paid
$1,000 making a total OF S237.5O
leaving the amount paid by the
Town of St. Nartinville for all ito
printing and stationery for one
full year, SlO4
Now in looking over the state
msnt of the expert, We find that
the printing bill for the year end
ing May 31st 1911 was $32l.5O
and the bill for the year ending
May 3Ist 1912 was $2l5.5O.
, Now, MIR. Politician, this is quite
difference, it is not? aud you
will also take in consideration that
the long sidewalk ordinance was
|, published 80 days, and also twelve
town financial statements, twelve
Water aud Light Plant statements
aud twelve Special Tax statements
were published, which is more
printing than was formerly done,
and compare the amounts.
i, We feel satisfied that none oil
our business people would Objsc,
to pay more for the printing wheI
, it is to give them full aud com

Oh tuO VOtcIo VI Ot' Az w
tho fact that. there are already
two announced candidates for the
Office Of Mayor. who are both run
ming upon their own merits, with
out having formed tickets or an
nounced any platform or plan
that they expect to put in execu-
ton or any improvement contem-
plated.
Tho general opinion is that both
candidates are paving the way to
the Office of sheriff, as the election
of either of them to the office OF
Mayor will give them a prestige
and put them in line for better
offices. If this be the case, We be-
lisve it is wrong for the voters OF
st. Martinville to line themselves
with ono faction or the other and
sacrificing the interest OF this
town for the benefit of supposed
candidates for the office of Sheriff,
No man elected to the office OF
Mayor can accomplish any good
unless he has back of him a Coun-
Gil representing the best interest
of the town instead Of the politi-
cal factions.
The present Mayor and Council
represent the wish and choice of
tho business people who felt the
necessity of a change as conditions
under tho past administration were
such as to demand change from
political and loose domination to
! a strict business accountability,
\ and you can, in one year, notice
the change.
II The town Treasurer was empty
4 there were lots of debts, half of the
! Special Tax money was expended
z for other purposes, there was nc
! fuel on hand for the plant, and nc
Z credit, and the town carried q lots
\ Of bad debts upon it's books, con
Z ditions were really bad.

too hungry TO walt for luncheon he
takes an egg. with n small piece OF
bread and butter. at 10 o'clock.
At / o'clock the meal consists OF

At the first breakfast and the mid

sufficient for the patient to leave the
table completely satisfied For tho
first two or three days the patient
feels very hungry In the evening. but

No! You mustn't. You must prom.
