UNCLE SANS SAILORS
BEHIND THE LINOTYPE

Not all of Uncle Sam sailors are
behind the guns. In another way, and
Just as effectively, many are behind the
Linotypes and printing presses Of the
big shop where hundreds Of tons of
printed matter are turned out for the
use Of the navy. Just now, when a ma
ton wide campaign is being conducted
for the recruiting of men for the big
ships of the fleet, this navy publicity
bureau is getting out some of the most
attractive literature.
To make up this force at the publicity
bureau and its printing Office, men were
drawn from every branch of the service.
Men who have served behind the guns,
men who have run the engines, and
sailors who have played about the seas
in submarines, are now running a print
ing office that for efficiency and results
has no superior. SO when you see a piece
Of printed matter urging on Young
America to enlist in the navy, you know
that it was printed by a sailor who is
versatile enough to easily operate
linotype or make a great big gun speak
at sea with very satisfying emphasis.

PARIsEI JAZZ IMPROVEMENT.

Work of rem3dehng and improving
the Parish jail SO as to conform to the
regulations of the State sanitary au-
thorities is still going on. Contractor
Turner kindly showed us all over the
building, 80 from the third floor,
where works. pretty near completed.
The cells on this floor are intended for
insane prisoners and are fitted out like
all other cells in the Jail with all neces-
sary sanitary plumbing, including bath
tubs, but have in addition shower baths
The cemented floor of the cells on this
floor are so arranged that waste water
used in bathing prisoners will run to-
wards a centrally located drain.
On the upper two floors, where the
most dangerous criminals are kept, the
cells are opened and locked from the
hall, by what is called the lever lock
system, thus doing away with the in
dividual keys and the bolts used in
operating this locking device are hid
den and Incorporated in the walls of
the building. The window bars are
burglar proof and so arranged that for
prisoner to cut his wav out would
''rire the saving of heavy steel
bars. Swinging cots are used which,
when not in actual service, do not take
up any room in the cells, besides ac-
commodating more prisoners than if
ordinary beds or cots were employed.
The Jail is freproof throughout. No
other material being used in its con-
StructiOn but steel and concrete. All
cells face the outer walls Of the build
ing and are therefore accessible to air
and sunlight. Windows and doors are
provided with screens to shut out flies
ard mosquitoes.
The cost to the Parish for rcnodeling
the Jail as outlined above will amount
20 about 100000 and the building will
be completed and ready to turn over to
The Parish officials on or about the 14th
Of August.

PECAN ISLAM DITEMS,

Born to Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Vinccdt,
of Pecan Island, fine girl. The stork
dropped in on thet 30th Of July. All
hands are doing well.
Eugene Miller, of Grand Chenier, :
over looking up his cattle.
a meeting was called for the 30th If
July to elect a chairman for a branch
of the Womans League of National
Defense.
Mrs. J. NJ. Vaughan was elected 20
fiji the post and we expect to soon have
that branch well started.
Mosquitoes are bad Just now.
We havet not been bothered with tn
pests much this year, but the frequent
showers of late are bringing them on,
in full force.
Crops look good. There are some boil
weevils in the cotton, and corn did not
make very we'll on account of the spring
drought.
Our folks did well with Irish potatoes
and are planting more sweet potatoes
than ever. They seem to be trying b
answer the cry of "more foodstufTs -.
and there have been mere peas, beans
and garden stuff made out here this
year than ever before.
People are getting in their fall gar
dens now.
Some Of our folks are already picking
cotton, but it is hot work.
We are hoping that the boys who
know how to farm are not to be taken
off and green boys put in their places
1t goes without saying, that one .young
man who knows how to manage the
work on the farm is worth more than
a crowd of tender green town boys.
Uncle Sam surely wont make the mis-
take of cutting down the producing
power of the farms by taking the cz
perienced hands away and also to-
heads that are educated in farming
by actual work and managing; at tn
critical moment of facing a world IA

FLIVVER LOADED WITH

"Flivver" beating it toward Atlanta
ran out of gasoline near the Chatta-

line filing station happened to be
situated near the place where the gas
gave out. The driver of the car rode
up and hollered for the hose but got
no answer because the proprietor had
gone to lunch.
Being in very large hurry, the
driver broke open a window and was
preparing to help himself, and per-
haps leave the money, when a man
in a nearby electric sub-station saw
him and summoned the county police
and just as the latter hove in sight
around bend in the road, the driv-
er saw him and wasted no time.
Jumping out of his car, which bore
Tennessee number, he beat hasty
retreat through the woods, leaving
the Flivver and all its contents to be
disposetd of as the county policeman
saw fit. Liquor on board was the

COLD WAVE CAUGHT ATTAIN
ia WITH ADEQUATE SUP
PLY OF COAL

Atlanta. Ga, December ll.-Atlan-
ta's coolest weather of the present
season, and one of the coolest spells
in years, found the city with a very
short supply of coal on hand, due to
the fact that local dealers have been
unable to get their regular supply
from the mines in this territory.
Two weeks ago the Atlanta Cham
Der of Commerce sent a delegation
to Washington to present the city's
needs to the Fuel Administration,
and through the cooperation of Sem
ator Hoke Smith they were able not
only to secure an order directing coal
to be shipped here for domestic pur-
poses, but the senator presented the
needs of other Georgia cities and sim
liar action was taken to relieve their
distress. :.
Meanwhile, however, the coal has
been moving into Atlanta very slow
ly on account of railroad congestion,
and the amount received before the
blizzard came was not sufficient to
supply all orders.
