VOTE THE TAX.
St. Mary Banner:

On Tuesday, November 13, every
qualified elector in st. Mary Par
ish, paying taxes to the State, will
he called upon to vote upon the
proposition of the imposition Of a
tax of one and one-half mills upon
his property valuation, to assist the
School Board of this Parish to meet
necessary expenses in the malnte-
nance of the school system.
The Board at present faces a
large deficit for the coming months
and unless the money for the main
tenance of the schools is obtained by
this special tax, the schools must
close more than two months earlier
than usual. In other words, they
must close after a term of six and
two thirds months, instead OF run
ming for nine months, as in former
years.
Every man with home and
children to educate must feel

MUST SACRIFICE FOR LIBERTY
LOAN DECLARES MR..
REDFIELD

Secretary Redfield has addressed
the following letter to the employ
ees of the Department of Com
merce:
At the suggestion of the depart
ment committee which has IN its
charge the patriotic and necessary
task of securing subscriptions
among you to the second Liberty
Loan, l call your attention to the
reasons why you, together with your
fellow citizens throughout the land,
are asked now to make sacrifice
for your countrv's cause.
l speak Of the loan as calling for
sacrifice. It ought to be that. 1t is
in it's essence sacred thing laid up
on the altar of your country. 1t can
hardly be the mere lending to the
Government of that which you have
to spare. Your own loyal support,
so generously given to the first Lib
erty Loan, may well make it i'm
possible now to make the second SUBJ
scription out of savings which are at
once available. 1t is real sacrifice
The Morgan City daily review. (Morgan City, La.) 1916-1920, 1917-10-16

vital interest in the public schools of
his parish. He must wish to see the
schools open for the full scholastic
term, and to US it seems a kind of
disgrace to close the term in less
than the allotted nine months. But
of course, the School Board would
be powerless to continue the excel
lent work of education if the re-
sources were not in their hands, and
at present this is exactly the con-
dition.
1t is therefore up to every tax
payer in St. Mary to go to the polls
on November 13, and vote to i'm
pose the tax. Individually this tax
will be exceedingly small, but tax
ell collectively it will produce a
revenue calculated to be sufficient
to meet the deficit, if added to 9TH
er sources of revenue, such as the
increase in poll tax payments, etc
It. is duty you owe to the future
welfare Of your child, Mr. Citizen,
so perform it.

{. 4. P|,arr And Judge
Baker TO Talk Tues
Day Ii IIoll1Ila

Mr.. j. H. Tharp, who was in
| Franklin last Wednesday, advises
that Hon. f. A. Pharr and Hon.
W. c. Baker of St. Mary. viii be
present at the Get-To-Gether Dim
ner in Houma, next Tuesday night
Both Of these gentlemen are inter-
ested in having a modern road built
between Houma and Morgan City,
and they want to join hands with the
business men of this parish in an
effort to get this most important
project under way.
The Houma- Morgan City road
way is but one of the many interest
ing and important questions that
are going to be discussed by repre-
sentative citizens at Tuesdays dim
ner
Recalling the splendid success Of
the last "Get-To-G -Gether" dinner, it
is reasonable to believe that another
one will be welcomed by all who feel
that good comes from a heart-to-
heart discussion of public affairs.
In times of prosperity people are
prone to let matters of public con-
cern work out their own salvation
and then later on decry the fact that
conditions" are not just what they
should be.
In the absence of Chamber Of
Commerce, an annual Get-to- Gether
Dinner affords the best means to
bring our leading citizens together
for the threshing out of questions
affecting public conditions.
Preparations have been made for
sixty covers, nearly fifty Of which
were paid for the first day the in
vitations were sent out.

Liberty Bond is therefore the prop
orty Of the woman who buys il IN
Ill She aispcscs of it.
@. Why should women buy Liber-
to Bonds?
4. Because Liberty Bonds are the
method adopted By the Government
Of the United States to care for the
soldiers, sailors, and mariners who
are fighting Americas war The
success Of or men in this war will
benefit women no less than men.
Women MAJ no. fight; but women
may aid men in providing the sin
ews of war for the fighters. To
women, even more poignantly than
to men, come the words of the
Secretary Of the Treasury. "Shall
we be more tender with our dollars
than with the lives Of our son3?"
@. What may women's organiza-
tions do 10 promote the liberty
Loan?
A. Every organization of women
has a fund of some sort which may
be used to aid the Liberty Loan.
The money of this fund may be in
vested in Liberty Bonds. There is
no better investment for the funds
of an institution, a community, or
Of an organization: Every Wom-
ems organization in the country
should be represented by the in
vestment in Liberty Bonds.
@. How does the purchase of
Liberty Bonds express the patriot
ism of the American people?
A. Every citizen Of the United
States who buys Liberty Bond
registers his approval of our de-
Tending ourselves against Ger
many. Every citizen who buys a
Liberty Bond testifies to his love of
country. Every citizen who buys
Liberty Bond contributes toward
victory.
Now, do not think because you
are working woman or a person
of small means that you cannot
help. The government has provided
for this contingency.
Bonds range in price from $50 to
100000. A few dollars down buys
bond. Bankers and employers ev-
erywhere arrange payment of bal
ances out of savings.
You lend your money at interest
to the government-you do not give
it, and your bond, which is non-tax-
able, can be sold or borrowed on at
a moments notice.
Is there a woman who will not
help?

as stated in the article which pre-

Two Elements of Cost.
Entering into the prices of every ar

of cost-the cost of making it and the
cost of getting it from the maker
to us.
These costs, of course, must be COW

manufacturer or the jobber allows
himself, to cover his costs and pro

to make.

services will be proportionately smaller,
