The Good Of Life.

It is essential for the community

brought up to fully understand that
his one duty towards himself and
others is to make the most out Of
this life. to develop in himself the

and be as happy as possible. In this
way he contributes most to the hap

derstood that melancholy and pes.

ton

Acting on the instructions of the
Police Jury, President C. N. Eros,
has purchased and delivered to the
Sixth Ward a tractor to be used for
road working. This tractor was pur-
chased out of the Parish General
Fund and will be used in other parts
of the parish as soon as the Ramos
Amelia road has been moved, graded
and drained and put in first-class
condition. The tractor was pur-
chased by President Frost from w.
B. Reed & Son, or Morgan City for
the sum Of $4,000.
Parish Road Engineer, L. A. Lous-
talot, has stated that he will begin
work on the Amelia road lust as
soon as the weather will permit the
ground to become dry enough to
work. This piece of roadway will
be changed in part and when the
new road is completed it will run for
the entire distance along ridge
which will insure it giving the pub
lie much better service than in its
present location. Mr.. T. Aucoin,
Police Juror from the Sixth Ward.
lives at Amelia and he has been in
strumental in securing the needed
changes for the road running from
Ramos to the Boeuf.
Speaking of road working facili-
ties, Engineer Loustalot said that
The Parish Dads had acted wisely and

In his opinion one tractor is worth a

TRIBE OF TARTAN DE.
PARTS

Mr.. Scott Sidney and his tribe of
Tarzan leave Morgan City today to
return to their headquarters in Los
Angeles, California. For six weeks
past, the energetic director and
about twenty-five Of the National
Film Company people have been en-
gagged in filming scenes in this ter
ritory to be used in the motion pic
ture production of Rice Burroughs
startling novel, "Tarzan of the
Apes" The scenery about Morgan
City has been peculiarly adapted to
the requirements of the picture and
the manager expresses himself as
well pleased with the result of the
weeks put in here.
The "Tarzan" company, from the
director to the water-boy, state that
their stay in this city has been de-
lighful. (This statement, perhaps,
is exclusive of their experience with
the red bugs of the swamps.) They
wish to thank the citizens and bust
ness men for the courtesies they have
received and to assure them of their
appreciation. Mr. Jackson, the eff
ficient business manager, is strong in F!
his praise Of Morgan City and her
citizens and expresses himself as
highly pleased with the treatment of
the business men and organizations
here. He regrets very much that
they were unable to show part of
their local scenes here Friday night,
as promised, but states that Morgan
City will undoubtedly be among the
first cities to secure the picture of
'Tarzan" after it has been finally
released.

To be q soldier man.

For three long years to stay,
And to work all day and half tn,
night
On the guns Of Mobile Bay.
| have been in Battery Thomas,
have been in Bowers too,
| have toiled away the live long day
Making the guns look new.
| have juggled boxes and cables
And cases and cannon balls;
But Just as little side issue
To the regular daily calls.
! | have come to Quarters in evenings
As tired as tired could be
Only to find more "details"
On the bulletin board for me.
Sure after supper / would thrill
For / wanted to go over the hills
Especially, when l heard the trum-
pet calling
Fall out" for some more drills!
But soldiers life's worth living
For think of my good pay,
I've only been in five months
And making a dollar-a-day.
Besides, just think Of the lasses
/ have met while in Mobile!
! certainly like to think of them
For how happy it makes me feel.
Had l but stayed in my home State,
| might have married some dame,
But as it is it am single,
But not wholly out of the game.
For l love Mobile maiden
Even better than my life
And when / leave the Army
She's GIN to be my wife.
And should we have an offspring
Yes, bonny baby boy,
He'd grow up and be a soldier
And fill our hearts with joy.
For the grandest thing in the world |
That our own dear son could do
Wuld be to enlist in the Army
