In Memoriam

In sad and loving Remembrance OF my dear
father. Samuel L. Jones, who departed this Lille
18th of November, 1918.
The month of November once more here,
To me the saddest of the year.
For his memory is as dear to-day
AS in the hour he passed away.
Day by dry saw him fade
And slowly pine away.
Yet in my heart often prayed
That he might longer stay
Through all his suferings, at times he smiled,
The smile of heavenly birth
And when the angels called him home
He smiled farewell to earth.

LOOK WELL TO THE COUNTRY
ROADS
(From Elton Eltonian)

Our people will be fortunate if, in
the drive after a record production
in all lines, they keep well in mind
the great Importance Of good roads.
Good roads are in fact one of prime
factors of success in our etfor.s to
exceed all former productive rec
ords.
The farmer who, after harvesting
bumpercrop, attempts to move that
crop to market over poor roads, soon
finds that he must sacrifice a large
per cent Of his profits in reaching The
market with his wares. The lumber
men, who has cut a choice lot of ma
terial finds he must give up the lions
share of his profits in getting his
stuff to the railroad. The same
holds good in all lines-poor roads
mean a waste Of energy; good roads
conservation of energy that may be
profitably employed in more produc-
ton.
The temptation for slackness in
this direction grows greater all the
time. Thousands of our workers
have gone to the army; other thou
sands have been drafted to take
their places in the industries. Labor
in all lines is at premium.
The people of this country, how
ever, have never known the meaning
Of the words "defeat" and failure. -"
They must not learn at this late day.
A determination on our part that the
industrial life of the country MUST
NOT and SHALL NOT deterioate
will work wonders. Hitherto only a
very small per cent of the national
energy has been devoted to the stern
er question of making a living. We
have had abundant time for all the
varied interests of life. Now, how
ever, some of those interests must
take second place. The demands up
on our time and energy are such that
more and more we must cut out the
frivolous and devote ourselves to the
serious phase of life.
We can find the time and the
means and the labor to keep our
roads up to the standard Of eff
cheney. We MUST, if large part of
our energy is not to be wasted.

Fire Prevention Bureau
Agents To Charge
Higher Rates

Whereas, the basic cost of insur-
ance h as materially increased by rea-
son Of special taxes on insurance
premiums, together with all other Ma
tional war taxes, increased postage,
increased operating expenses, and in
creased cost Of repairing damaged or
destroyed property, and
Whereas printing, stationery and
other elements of expense entering
into the cost Of insurance have ma
terially increased by reason of exist
ing war conditions, and
Whereas, it is impracticable to at
once apportion such increased cost
to the basic rates and the deficiency
charges, and
Whereas, the increase in the basic
cost of insurance has proved to be at
least 10 per cent, now therefore,
Be it resolved:
That, in view of the foregoing, as
an emergency measure we advise an
advance of 10 per cent on all rates,
effective Immediately.

(From Franklin Watchman)

A movement is on foot in Morgan
City to hold get-together meeting,
and the projectors will invite people
from all over the parish to be present
as well as those from Terrebonne
and Lafourche and other adjacent
parishes and others, which means
that each citizen will donate part of
his time and knowledge to the better
ment of general conditions and the
advancement of the public welfare,
and we know Of no greater duty he
would perform than the intentions of
those who are moving for general
get-together. The Waterman heart
lily endorses the move and this paper
will put forward the best we have in
promoting it's purpose intended.

Billie Punlee's CHEEKY
Chatter Is Worth
Hearing

"Just Plain People" was presented
at the Opera House by the Billie
Pumlee Comedy Company Tuesday
night to a large audience and every
auditor left feeling that he had his
moneys worth. Billie Pumlee,
alone, was worth double the price of
admission. In his RUDE character,
he created continuous laughter and
the wisdom of the author Of the piece
was shown in making it possible for
Jake to keep prominently displayed.
There has not been better bunch
of songsters in Morgan City this sea-
son with any musical company than
those who appear with the Billie
Pumlee players. Just to show that
they are really comic-opera class on
a high plane, Mr. Pumlee is going to
show off his talented company in a
"here and there" sketch made up of
vocal, instrumental and muscular
music. Muscular music, of course, is
liberty taken with the simple word
dancing, but from the promising
poses of several Of the very pretty
Pumlee peaches during their special
ties last night, one may forecast that
their musical comedy steps will be,
at least, rhythmic and harmonious if
not in reality musical.
More specialties tonight. The only
request from the public to Billie's
entertaining ensemble is that none
of the "Pray For the Lights To Go
Out" Like the repeatedly-killed
"villum" referred to by the curtain
spealer, those lights have been turn
ed on and off so frequently here that
it is time the fuse were burned out.
Go to see the Pumlee people to-
night and every other night during
their stay. They'll be here until Sat
urday night and they're splendid
balancing factor to set against the
wearying strain of the many grave
things which occupy the minds Of
men and women today. Let them
crowd little merriment into your
lives and you'll find that you are
stronger and ADLER to grapple the
problems presented by the overhang-
ing clouds.
