Democrats Attention.
The General State Election Will Take on
Tuesday April IS, 1915

Louisiana expects every Democrat to do his duty.
The only hope the Bull Moose Republican has of be-
ing elected for the Democrats Of this state and especial
y Of the country parishes stay at home and not 60 to
the polls and vote
We do not believe you will aid them by staying at
home and not doing your duty as good citizen The
Democratic nominee for Governor Col Rutn G. Pleasant
made straightforward manly and open fight and was
nominated by an overwhelming majority by the people
themselves the ballot box The legislature and all the
state officers will be Democrats hence how foolish to
elect progressive party governor in order that he
might tear up and destroy the democratic party in this
state Col Pleasant native son of louisiana educated
in her Schools devoted to her best interests and we'll
qualified serve the people faithfully as he has pledged
himself to do He stands unquafedly on the platform
heretofore issued and there is sound reason why any
democrat should not loyalty support the ticket The
election of the democratic ticket in Louisiana will prove
endorsement fthe splendid administration of Pres
dent Wilson, and will give added strength to the national
campaign next fall The eyes of the nation are turned to
this state Mr. Parker selection would be heralded as re-
publican victory and harbnger of the breaking up of
the south by that party which has proven its friend
ship either in the state nation for this portion of our
fair land
We appeal to you loyal sons of Louisiana who are
farsehted enough the situation in its true light
that you lay aside your work for short while and 90 to
the polls election day. and Stamp the Rooster in Or
der that we may return an overwhelming democratic
majority and defeat this mixed combination that has
reared its head at this time. AT Ruston and at Burton
the progressive candidate for governor declared he did
not want the vote Of any who participated in the
democratic primary for the state officers declared that
he wanted the governorshp to to him Clean if it
came at ALL and announced that it would be politically
dishonest for any to participate in the democratic
primary 60 to the polls in April and vote for the pro-
gresve candidate for governor He is now asking demo.
Gratis to commit political injury by supporting his cand-
dacy Such action would be morally wrong and eyerv
honest man in Louisiana is bound to recognize it.

On complaint of neighbors, the local police sraided Greek clubhouse on Bath street early Sunday evening and gathered in 35 men and one woman. The charges against the prisoners names are keeping and frequenting a disorderly house. The cause of the unexpected visit of the police was an entertainment which was beng held for the benefit of the club. Festivities started early and about o'clock those who were. attending the entertainment became so boisterous that a complaint was made at police headquarters. Cap- tain Twomey immediately sent seven police officers to the scene to round up the offenders. The police squad was composed of Sergeant John Kane and Officers Myron Morgan, Ralph Di- veto, Charles Perry, Charles Ebberts, John -OfNeil and John Donovan.
 The men made little or no trouble and were quietly marched to the police station. They gave the following names: Alex Po1echavitz, James Gogue, Henry Vercris, Spero vercris, George Rabocoulis, Michael Carolains, Anas-

HOW THEY HELP OTHERS.
Civic Duties Which Pioneer Scouts
 Perform.

It has come to he generally under stood that certain civic duties fall to the lot of Boy Scouts, and scouts in cities have been performing Shem eagerly and well. In the country dis tricts and rural towns there are cer- tain civic duties which will naturally fall to the lot of the pioneer" scout.
 He will be expected to report inn mediately any washout in the road, and if necessary do his part toward filling it in. If the break is dangerous and there is a chance that it wll remain unrepaired over night, it will be the duty of the scout to see that some ob- struction is built in front of the gap and that a light is placed to warn any who may pass in the night.
 A burned bridge or a hole in the planking that might break the leg of a horse is always a matter of special h. portance to poneer scouts, and they will find way to get it repaired.
 It is the duty of a scout to know the proper authority to notify in ease of damaged roads or bridges or in case of fire and know also just how to spread a nalarm that will bring assistance.
 Pioneer scouts know of the tremen- dous waste caused every year by for est fires and as the welfare of most communities is largely dependent upon a cheap and plentiful supply of wood for fuel and lumber, they do everything
 
 During particularly dry periods they post notces warning people to be care full with matches or camp fires, and they learn how to fight fires while they are small or call help if they have grown large. Watchfu1, quick-acting scouts from the cities have saved thou sands of dollars worth of property from flames; pioneer scouts will save even more.
 Sanitation is a problem which can- not be neglected by the pioneer scout who is doing his duty. Streams must be protected so that the water supply of men or animals will not become in- fected. Dead annals must be buried not simply dragged to one side. Insect pests do inca1culable damage in this country. They are destructive army against which scouts are forever fighting. A pioneer may not at first know the best methods of destroying this enemy, but country scout who is not in touch with the department oi agriculture is neglecting one of the best friends he can possibly have. Fine department VII suggest methods o1 cross fire and bayonet charges and gas bombs and machine guns that will make boil weevils mad potato bugs and all the other insect nuisances of the farm, north and south, count their dead by thousands.

Virginia Greatest soapstone State.

In the production of soapstone the United States ranks first among all countries, and Virginia produces about 20 times as much as the fourth other producing state Maryland, North Carolina, Rhode Island, and Vermont
 The waste from breakage in quorry- ing, saving into slabs, manufacturing, and final transportation is so great as to render success in the Industry a matter of skillful manipulation. The value of the stone is in large measure proportionate to the work done upon it. In the rough it is valued at .$2 or less a ton, but when sawed into slabs it's value is increased to about $15
 and when made into laundry tubs it may attain value of about $50 a ton
 The production of soapstone and tale in the United States is steadily in- creasing, according to the United States Geological Survey, Department of the Interior. In 1900 it was 27,94S short tons in 1910 it was 150,716 tons
 and in 1915 it was 1s6.S91 short tons.

FRANCE TO MAKE EFFORT
 TO ATTRACT TOURIST TRADE
Hitherto No Special Inducements
 Were Held Out to Visitors.

Paris, Nov. 12.-France will make her first organized effort to attract tourist trade when peace is restored.
 The war made French people ap- preciate fully for the first time how many persons of means had been in the habit of hurrying to Paris from all corners of the world. No effort was made to induce them to come, be- cause the magnetic attraction of the town alone sufflced; but since they have awakened to see many other things, the French have looked into this question of touring and have found that some 100000 Russians were in the habit of rusticating in Germany and Austria where they left each year the equivalent of more than billion francs. Eight hundred thousand per-
 sons visited the 1130 seaside resorts of
 the Baltic and the North Sea in 1913. French business men, and particu-
 larly hotel men, are inclined to think
 that French resorts and French artis-
 tic centers present for greater at
 fractions than the Baltic or the North
 Sea, and have finally consented to open
 their minds to the question as to whether this great number of people did not find more modern comfort and better hygiene in German hotels. NO one KNOWS now u1uCn money Americans spend in France each year, but the estimates, varying from 200 million dollars to 250 million dollars a year, are not considered to be eX- cessive. Ffnanciers appreciate how this annual expenditure, aided by a part of the billion francs that the Russians spent in Austria and Ger
 many each year, will help the rate of
 exchange; they are prodding French
 hotels, resort managers, and railroads, ot prepare in a proper way for vis- itors, then do the necessary advertis- ing. Railroads are called upon to pro- vide more comfortable cars and give better train service, and hotel men are being told they must make it easier for visitors to take a comfortable bath.
 The Touring Club of France is now | taking up the question from the trav- eller's point of view, and is also con- vincing itself with the necessary re-
 newal practilally of the entire staffs of many of the principal houses now sheltering wounded soldiers when they are restored to their original destina- ton.
 Outside of the kitchen, the hotel employees before the war were mostly German and Swiss. The hotel syndi- cate has resoved that the Germans
 shall not be taken back. Other en-
 ployes must be trained to take their places and the hotel committee of the
 Touring Club is arranging to educate
 and train them in the hotel sections ! created by the government in the
 schools of commerce and industry. The l courss are to begin at once, providing general education to those applicants | who need it, then taking up courses | in hotel work.

TRINITY METHODIST OBSERVED
 WORLDS TEMPERANCE SUNDAY
Stirring Address Delivered by Hart
 ford Preacher at the Sunday Even-
 ing Service.

Worlds Temperance Sunday was ob- served in several of the local churches on Sunday. At Trinity Methodist Episcopal church the observance was held at the evening service when Rev. W. E. Lamphear of Hartford delivered a stirring address on A Sa1oon1ess Ma tion.
 A few years ago we would have been called dreamers if we had talk ed of 8 sa1oonlesS nation, said the speaker. But the handwriting is on the wall and the liquor dealers know that the traffic is going to end, he con- tinued. Two years ago we mad nine dry states. A week ago we had nine teen dry states. To all intents and purposes we now have 25 dry state. We have over 85 per cent. of our terri tory under prohibition. In the state as the result of the lost no-license vote we have 91 dry towns and IT wet towns. During the last no-license vote we have 91 dry towns and TT wet towns. During the last session of the general assembly we had Al pieces of literature put through while the liquor interests have secured only six pieces of literature.
 A saloonless nation in 1920 is our slogan. There are tremendous forces behind this movement Rev. Mir. Lam phear went on to say that according to reports he had studied he had com puted the average cost of the liquor traffic in the country to every man man and child, S57. We have reso- lution in Congress, he said, whereby ee anso taheNttff1th oehhrnow Is the 1 the liquor traffic will be abolished 1T the country. Two years ago the dele gations from thirty of our state voted in favor of it. It did not pass be- cause a two-third vote Is necessary. It is still before congress and will come up at the session next month when it is hoped it will pass. Then ii will be sent to each state for ratifica- tion. If three-fourths of the states ] ratify it it will stand. At the conclusion of his address MT. Lamphear made an earnest appeal for contributions towards the good work.
