Proper Celebration
of Anniversary of
the Nations Birth


becomes necessary for one people to dis
solve the political bands which have con-
nected them with another and to assume
among the Powers of the earth the sep
arate and equal station to which the laws
of nature and of natures God entltle
them, a decent respect to the opinions OF
mankind requires that they should declare
|. the causes which impel them to the sepa-
ration.
"HUS wrote Thomas Jefferson for
the Continental congress in the
n famous Declaration of Independ-
ence. It was signed at Independence
hall. Philadelphia, July 4, 1776. With
the pealing of old Liberty bell that
summer day the birth Of new nation
was announced. Like her sturdy sons,
that nation was conceived in hardship.
Her heritage of devotion to principle
was the noblest gift brought by the
Mayfower. Innate courage grew fear
less in the face Of constant danger,
and her sons grew skillful by constant
toll. They craved not courtier favors
but demanded the right to develop
along the lines of new democracy the
nation then born. Contact with the
wilderness had taught them that
IT'S as easy to be heroes as to sit the idle
slaves
OF legendary virtue carved upon our faith
ers' graves.
For them to be convinced was as
though the thing had been decreed Of
God. They were convinced and they
proclaimed their birthright by declar-
ing their independence and then fight
ing for it against one of the proudest,
strongest nations of the earth.
Nation Wholly Worthy.
1t was inevitable that such begin
ming should produce nation Of stall
warts. What they lacked in knightli-
ness they made up in manliness. De-
votion to principle left no room for
compromise with policy. The result was
a people chosen by fitness for great
place in the economy of the worlds
progress.
At this season we celebrate the an
niversary of the nations birth. The
40 anniversaries since then have not
all been to our credit. We have turned
from the serious to the frivolous, the
national birthday has become carni-
val. In the name of patriotism all

LAKE DAUTERIVE OH. AND
DRILLING co.

Another corporation has just been
formed by business men in New
iberia and Loreauville to be known
as the Lake Dauterive Oil and Drill
ing Company, capitalized at $780,
900. The company has possession of
the mineral rights of some twenty
nine hundred acres of land situated
around Lake Dauterive and in the
vicinity of the progressive little vii
lage of Loreauville. 1t is said para
fine in large quantities exist in that
section that surpass the proven oil
fields nearer New Iberia and it is
the intention Of this newly organized
corporation to drill as many wells
as their capital will permit as soon
as all of the stock has been placed.
From what we learn there is much
demnad for the stock from distant
points in Louisiana and it behooves
all Iberians who have capital to in
vest to interest themselves in this
enterprise before all of the stock is
subscribed. The fact that this is a
drilling corporation organized es-
pecially to develop the resources Of
the Parish makes it encumbent upon
every citizen who can spare the price
of share to encourage the enter
prise. The officers are as follows
Lazard King, president; DR.. Guy A..

WHAT WOODEN FRElCHfERS
CAN DO.

A thousand wooden ships will
mean a continuous ferry boat service
across the North Atlantic to the
eager ports Of Britain, France and
Italy. Relatively light low vessels,
showing little top hamper, of SMALL
est visibility, these wooden craft
will not be conspicuous target for
lurking submarines, and will be as
tonishingly effective from sheer
numbers.
One torpedo well aimed can sink
steel ship of 10000 tons-but as
much effort and explosives are re-
quired to destroy the modest 5000
ton wooden freighter. Size and
draught of the wooden vessels will
enable them to traverse narrow
waters and make smaller ports-and
yet everywhere a cargo Of 5000 tons
of foodstuffs or munitions will be
valuable aid and welcome.
Bear in mind carefully that this is
an emergency fleet, q special fleet
constructed for war crisis and
nothing else. When the Civil War
broke out between the North and
South, it was quickly realized that
the deep, heavy steam sloops and fri
gates of the United States were not
adopted for service in the relatively
shallow rivers, ports and bays Of the
Confederacy. Thcreupon the me-
chanical genius Of the North con-
trived the ninety day gunboat-light,
small raft, many of no more than
500 tons outscapable of smart man.
euvering armed with powerful ar
tillery. These little vessels followed
Farragut at New Orleans and Mo-
bile Bay, and even lay in Porter's
battle line off Fort Fisher. When the
war ended the ninety day gunboat
were found too small and light for
foreign cruisers, and soon disc scar
ed. But they had served ,sle present
need, and Uncle Sam was able to
write off their whole cost as wise
investment. So is is expected that it
will be in the present case. If a |
thousand wooden freighters will
break the German submarine block
ade, they will have proved to be
worth their price to the cause of the
Allies and America.-From "a
Thousand Wooden Ships for War
Trade" by Winthrop L. Marvin, in

May, 1917.
