LAKE CHARLES AFTER
CUMBERLAND COMPANY

Lake Charles, La, Oct. A
resolution was adopted today by
the commission council Of Lake
Charles authorizing and directing
the mayor to institute such legal
proceedings as may be necessary
to determine the validity Of the
alleged franchise or right-of-way
now exercised and enjoyed by
the Cumberland Telephone Con-
pany in the city Of Lake Charles,
and to proceed legally if after in
vestigation deemed proper to
have said alleged franchise de-
clared to have expired or to, be
null and void.
The Cumberland secured it's
right by an ordinance adoptedNov.
1891 and it is upon the grounds
that this ordinance in effect would
attempt to grant a perpetual fran
chise, and that it mentions no con-
sideration in behalf Of the city
that the validity Of the franchise
under which the company cpe-
rates is attacked.

enough cars to supply the South.
ern Pacifc's entire Pacific system
for one and one-half days accord
ing to figures made public by
traffic officials today.
Upon an average, 5000 cars are
required daily to fill the demands
of all the shippers located on the
zoo mile system Of the Southern
Poetic Company. BY heavier
car-loading 4,537 cars were saved
during August 1917 as compared
with the same month last year.
The extraordinary value to
shippers Of using the full car
space available is shown by the
statement that the above saving
was sufficient to provide during
August all the cars required to
load the following commodities:
Sugar. paper, peas and beans.
salt, dried fruits, canned goods,
rice. potatoes, corn and oats,
brick.

THE LAW ABIDING MAN.

The law abiding man is seldom
involved in quarrels, or engaged
as defendant in law suits; and this
fact is one of the highest prem
iums on righteous living, and it
ought to persuade a large num-
Der Of men to respect the rights
of others and to obey the law.
The idea seems to prevail in the
minds Of many people that vio-
lations Of the law in misdemeanors
is all right, provided the penal
ties of the law can be avoided.
The matter Of conscience or duty
does not appear to be weighed.
Men seemingly forget that the
rule. "reaping what one sows. !"
is as sure aS\the rising and setting
of the sun, and that he who
thinks to dodge it is as foolish as
the man who says in his heart,
there is no God. Leader.

TIME THE GREAT HEALER
Wait! Just wait!

! Wait! just wait!
For about nine out of life s
tangles are best solved by wait
ing.
The creates healer in the world
is time.
Time is the eternal mother, who
knits and darns and weaves fore
ever fixing up her children s
patches.
1t is time that covers the
gnarled tree with ichens, and
the old wall with ivy; brings the
green grass and daises to flourish
above the graves; closes all
wounds, hides all deformities,
wells all ugliness with beauty,
settles all quarrels, ends all wars,
and hides at last all scars with
Mothering Love.
Are you distressed over your
boy? Give him time. He will
grow out Of those conditions
which alarm you.
Don't worry over the girl.
There are certain fool stages ev-
cry child must pass through.
Just be quiet; just wait!
There are many evils you can
not cure now; they are stubborn
and defy every medicine; but if
you let them alone they will dis
appear.
Very often when you are wcr-
lied because you do not know
what to do the best thing is to dc
nothing. Wait! Keep. quiet.
Keep calm. Keep your head and
your heart! Bring up your re-
serves! Time is busy meanwhile
And time is the wisest of'all doc
tors.
You want success. You have
done are doing your best, you do
not understand why your efforts
do not avail. You become i'm
patient, perhaps bitter. Wait.
Realize that your exertions are
only one part of your success; the
other part is time.
The great loom Of the universe
is working. preparing your fabric
Of triumph. The days and years
are your allies. You cannot
hasten destiny. The only thing
you can get in q hurry is trouble.
One rash act can precipitate]
sorry and remorse. But your
goal of happiness can be reached
by no sudden dash. Only hell
can be accelerated, not heaven.
So do the best you can and leave'
The results with time. For time
Is another name for God, the
cosmic process, destiny, that pow
er not Of ourselves that eventually
has its way with us and with all
men.
In all your plans do not forget ;.

HE SPOILED THE PICTURE
Young Woman From the East eets

Out West.

Heroine went out vest to be gov
erness. She had au in her nome
town, but she wanted to marry west
erner. She had been in the West only
a few days when great herd OF cattle
was driven down the lane near the
house where she was teaching, the
Fort Worth Star-Telegram says. A
mile away the outfit stopped in
pocket for dinner, and the woman at
whose home Heroine was staying took
her out to the camp. There she saw
the men she had dreamed about, and
the boots, the spurs, the gloves anu
the hats that were calculated to win
the heart of pny girl. 1t was a great
picture and only one thing marred 1t.
There was one man who had on shoes
md only one spur. He wore black
hat and had no gloves. He was entire
" out of place, and Heroine wished
that he had not been there. Just as it
would spoil moving picture Of lndi-
s-s on the warpath to have the public
