Of happy history in their future

of happy history in their future
life.
The Elks Lodge is distinctively
an organization for the promotion
Of fraternal patriotism. Nothing
can convince the public more pro
foundry than the devotion to the
American idealism exhibited in
the reception on Tuesday night
Patriotism and Americanism were
the chief elements Of the atmos.
phere. Whatever slugglshnass
Stacking, might have existed here
t0fore in this community, in the
secret recesses and hidden corners
Of traditional prejudices and bias
were entirely submerged by the
ever present surging waves of
true American citizenship.
1t is the first time this commun-
.ity and its neighborhood have
had "a straight glimpse at the
seriousness of this war. 1t seems
this heroic struggle is being Wis
sualized in its proper form and
proportions with greater speed
and comprehension and the most
optimistic patriot could venture
to expect. The people of this
community are naturally patriotic.
Being gifted with an emotionalism
which normally spends itself in
loud hospitality and spectacular
friendship, Patriotism in its true
meaning and effect finds favorable
ground for growth and expan-
sion. Somewhat dazed and awe
stricken by the suddenness Of the
call which took the first born
from nearly every household to
fight this modern Egyptian plague
and prevent the military scourge
from spreading it's venom and poi
son over the springs and sources of
American civilization, the popu-
lace has settled down to grapple
with the war demon with grim
and unfagging zeal
and devotion. The fight must be
won. The flag must return with
victory. The achievement must
be a justification of Americanism
and the vindication Of the rights
Of man and the liberties Of HUI
in the world. &.

On Saturday last at two O'Clock

Whereas, His Excellency, Ruffin

pie of the State of Louisiana

irresistible onward march Of the
peoples of this free Republic go.

tocracy's invasion Of the rights
of all nations. Il
Whereas, notwithstanding the
fact that this nation possesses in
resources Of all kinds, including
that superb citizenship which has
revealed itself in this present
crisis, ready to make any sacrifice,
that this country and, indeed, the
world, should be perpetually as
sured the blessings of Peace

eventual triumph Of our armies
in the conflict;
Whereas: Long accustomed 10
seek the pursuit of our happiness
and prosperity along peaceful
ways-never believing that there
abided in this world any power
of monstrous wickedness ever
preparing itself by the culture OF
the science Of war, that it might
breed a nation ready and willing
to do it's behests in the perpetra-
ton Of crimes against individuals
and nations which cry to Heaven
for vengeance, our people have
not heretofore prepared to meet
the onslaughts Of such inhuman
enemies of civilization.
Whereas: Now awakened by
the serious call to arms, to the
peril to which this Nation, in
common with every free Nation.
is subjected by this war against
civilization, forced by the modern
Huns,
And having become aroused III
the God-given task Of joining with
the forces Of all free nations, in
crushing once and forever this
menace to the Peace Of the world,
AS well as for the vindication
Of the rights Of this Nation, whose
citizens have been murdered n
their peaceable pursuits on the
high seas-whose territory has
been used, even while the enemy
claimed to be our friend, for the
purpose q fomenting munition
strikes, destroying property and
otherwise Haunting audacity in
cur faces.
And whose relations with other
friendly nations were sought to
BE embroiled, that from the en-
suing woe, the cruel appetite cf
the Teutonic War God might be
appeased, war unto determination
has been launched against Autoc-
Iacy.

Don't scold your fretful, peevish
child. See if tongue is coated; this is
a sure sign its little stomach, liver and
bowels are clogged with sour waste.
When listless. pale, feverish, full of
cold, breath bad, throat sore, doesn't
eat, sleep or act naturally, has stom-
achache, indigestion, diarrhoea, give

have well and playful child again.
Children love this harmless "fruit
laxative" and mothers can rest easy
after giving it, because it never fails
to make their little "insides" clean
and sweet.
Keep it handy, Mother! A little
given today saves a sick child tomor-

druggist for a 50-cent bottle of "Cali-
fornia Syrup of Figs" which has di-
rections for babies, children of all
ages and for grown-ups plainly on the
bottle. Remember there are counter
feits sold here, so surely look and see
that yours is made by the "California
Fig Syrup Company" Hand back
with contempt any other fig syrup.
