Men Cooks Wanted For Shert Service.

The problem of providing cooks for
the draft army for the period between
the time OF assembling the men at the
1e environments and the selection OF
cooks from among those drafted has
been put up to the hotel men OF the
nation, and they have undertaken the
task. In all 3s40 cooks are wanted
for the 10 cantonments. For the
cantonment for this district 240 cooks
are wanted.
W. N. Trulock of Pine Bluff, Ark.
has been designated a. chairman OF
the committee to provide cooks for the
Little Rock cantonment, where $4,000
men from Arkansas, Louisiana and
Mississippi will be assembled. Mr..
Trulock is organizing the hotel men
of the three states, who will serve
with him gratuitously in performing
this service.
Two classes of cooks are wanted:
Class A, cooks who are capable of Civ
ing instruction, and men capable OF
chasing as class B cooks-men COM
petent to fry, roast, make stews, bake
biscuits and pies, and make buildings.
Class A men will be paid s125 q
month, while class B cooks will receive
900 month. Board and lodging and
transportation will be furnished by the
government. The men are asked to
serve only six weeks.
There are men in this community
capable of rendering this service to
the nation. They may not be cooking
for livelihood, but they can cook
They are not eligible for army service,
but they are patriots and doubtless
will welcome the opportunity to rem
der this service to the nation.
Uncle Sam wants his men fed-they
must be fed and fed we'll. Until the
armies are organized, the draft men
would go hungry unless patriotic mer
volunteer to serve as cooks for siz
weeks, and be paid at the rate Of
$125 or $50 month.
The men who render this service
are as good patriots as those who bear
arms. Because they are doing what
they can.
II you would render this service tc
the nation, write Mr.. Trulock at Pine
Bluff, Ark, at once. You stipulate
the period you will serve, and can be
back home in six weeks.

THE new SCHEDULE.

As announced last week, q new
schedule on the M. H. & L. Railroad
went into effect on Sunday, and has
been found objectional to the patrons
of the road i'm this parish. The
change has effected only the north
bound passenger, which now leaves
Ferriday at $50 p. M, instead OF 7:10
a. m. as heretofore, and arrives at
st. Joseph at 9:3S p. m, instead Of
s:55 a. m. according to old schedule.
So great was the complaint among
our people that the Superintendent
came down the line to see the pat
rons, to whom he explained that the
demands made on the railroads by
the National Council of Defense for
cars with which to move troops and
war supplies has been so great that
this change was forced on them.
The people of Tensas are just as
patriotic as any other people and are
willing to make all sacrifices necessary
for the good of the cause, but are
skeptical about the reason assigned by
the railroad for the change of service,
and believe the reduction of train SER
vice is really done to accomplish re-
duction of expenses. The Super
intendent made a number of prom
Uses, which If executed will improve
the service we now have. Among
these promises are: north bound local
to leave Ferriday from depot, in
stead of yard, carrying separate
coaches for the two races to bring ex-
press and pouch mail for each post
Office along the line, and on Sundays
to send mail and perishable express
by motor car at least as far as New.
elton.
A committee from Tensas parish
joined a similar committee from Nat
chez on Thursday night and went to
Lake Providence to confer with the
Superintendent and other officials
whom they we're to meet at that place
with view of getting improved SER
vice. The result of this conference II
not yet known.
The south-bound local has also
changed its schedule slightly and nov
reaches st. Joseph at 2:1O p. m.
Pending outcome of the Lake
Providence conference the Gazette
will withhold further comment.

THOUSANDS SPENT IN SECURING BATTLE
SCENES.
J. Stuart BIackton Offers Many Thrills
In His Soul Stirring Spectacle.

Perhaps the most realistic, vivid
battle scenes ever filmed are offered
to the audience at the st. Joseph
Electric Theatre on Wednesday and
Thursday, September 18th and 18th,
when Vitagraph presents, "Woman-
hood, The Glory of the Nation," the
soul string patriotic spectacle by j.
Stuart Blackton, starring Alice Joyce
and Harry MOrey.
As far as the human eye can reach
is the battlefield strewn here and there
with the heroes who have fallen in
honor that their country might live.
The air is dusky with the smoke of
conflict and bombs burst, continually
rising clouds Of dirt as they tear up
goodly portion of the ground.
Then the trenches with their men
leaning upwards, rifles aimed at the
approaching foe are seen-airships
encircle the field, dropping poisonous
gas bombs and other deadly missiles
on the men fighting beneath.
Then come the decisive naval bat
ties after America has concentrated
every energy and prepared herself
for the terrific onslaught Of the foe.
The fleets move seward in a majes-
tic line, every gun manned by an ex-
pert marksman and every boiler at
tended by devoted men. Now shell
sent from the enemy's ship finds its
mark and shoots through the water,
leaving behind it the dead white trail
of foam. Finally 1t comes into con-
tact with the ship and in few mo-
ments hundreds have been claimed by
q wstery grave. The men in the boiler
room fight one another like rats in a
hole Is they feel their vessle give a
lurch sideways and realize their means
Of escape 10 cut of.
When war visits its horrors upon
any lsnd It's inhabitants become
craxed and sacrifices untold are suf-
fered by the people. There is no limit
1t is murderous slaughter and the
side conceiving the most effective in
strumeuts of destruction is naturally
victorious.
Then Uncle Sam plays his trump
card-he sets his "firebugs" loose amid
the enemy's ships and in another few
minutes victory is recognized. These
"drebugs" are small boats steered by
wireless 90 that no men are necessary
and filed with gasoline which Is set
sfire when they reach the feet Of the
enemy and turn the waters into cur
tain of fire
Mr.. Blsckton spared no effort or
expense that these scenes might be
authentic to the minutest detail in
order that the proper atmosphere be
secured and he was generously given
the cooperation of the U. 8. Army
and Navy as far as practicable.
Therefore, all the battle scenes
graphically portray just the condi-
ton that would exist IL our country
were invaded by powerful enemy.

Our esteemed contemporary, the
Natchez Democrat, is to be congratu-
lated on Its progress in that it never
lets expense interfere with quick and
efficient service to its patrons. On
Sunday last when the morning train
was so abruptly taken off, leaving us
without mail for the day, the Dem
ocrat sent out an automobile from
Natchez filled with copies of their
morning edition, which were distrib-
uted along the road to their subscrib-
ers, the car going as far as Newellton.
And each succeeding day the Dem
ocrst has dispatched messenger OH
the north bound local who has handed
out the paper to patrons along the
road, thereby enabling their readers to
keep posted on the events of the day,
which in these war times is so inter-
esting and essential to every one who
makes any pretense to keep informed
on happenings in the theatre of war.
This progressive step on the part OF
our contemporary is greatly appreci-
ated by the people of this parish, who
look for the Natchez Democrat every
morning as regularly as they do for
their breakfast, as it is the first daily
paper to come into Tensas parish each
day, getting here about seven hours
ahead of any other paper, and pos
sessing full leased wire of the Associ-
ated Press contains the very latest
news up to the hour of going to press,
about 3:15 q. m.
We again say all honor to the Nat
chez Democrat and its progressive
young publisher and editor, Mr.. Jas.
K. Lambert; and the Gazette extends
thanks upon the part of the people of
Tensas parish for the consideration
shown Us and congratulates the man
agement on the very metropolitan
paper they are publishing.
