PROCLAMATION

Whereas the Sanitation Commit
tee of the Civic League asks that
the week of March 10Th. to March
goth. 1917 be set apart as Clean
up period; now,
THEREFORE, I, Maurice D.
Shannon, Mayor of Morgan City, do
ordain and set apart the period be-
ginning March 10Th. to March goth,
1917, as a cleanup week, and ear
nestly urge that all citizens partici-
pate in said campaign.
During this period every citizen
Of Morgan City should make an ef-
fort to cleanup his house and pro-
perry so as to avoid fire risk, to
abolish all places that might breed
flies and mosquitoes and to pull up
weeds.
It is earnestly hoped that the pro-
clamation will be needed.

Mayor.

POLES AND WIRES HURT CITY
Los Angeles Newspaper Complains Of
Conditions Which Work Harm In
Many Other Municipalities.

The residents Of Los Angeles are to
be congratulated If the city shall
quickly acquire the privately owned
lighting systems and avoid the multi
pie pole-and-wire systems now borne
by the northeast districts. In the lat
ter, in Garvanza and Highland Park
districts particularly, more landscape
beauty has been blotted out in few
months than the residents have been
able to create in several years. Poles
and wires are everywhere, trees de-
spoiled, private property rights vio-
lated, in stringing wires without per-
mission. and all the evils usually at
tendant upon service by employees
protected in their vandalism by civil
service. 1t is most sincerely hoped
that acquisition of existing lines by
the city will result in the removal OF
at least two-thirds Of the present jun
gle, for the district is now despoiled.

Father Of Tanks."

Patriotic Scotsmen might plausibly
claim that the real inventor of ''tanks"
was John Napier of Merchiston, who
also invented logarithms. He had
many varied intellectual activities be.
sides the higher mathematics, and was
jealous protagonist Of Protestant
ism. For confounding all "enemies Of
Gods truth" he confided to Bacon's
elder brother certain "secret inven-
tions." These included a chariot Of
metal, double musket-proof, the mo-
ton Of which was controlled by those
within, ''who discharged shot through
small holes, the enemy being abased,
and uncertain what defense to make
against a moving mouth of metal"
This looks like the original ''tank," but
Napier directed the detailed designs
for his weird instruments of war to
be kept secret until necessity COM
PEELED their use.

LAUNCHING OF THE
Superior"

Yesterday afternoon at 5 p. m.
the large river steamer which for
the past three months has been TAX
ing shape on the ways in front of
the Dalton's building, glided grace
fully into the waters of Berwick
Bay.
Little Marguerite Chauvin broke
a bottle of Mumm's Champagne
over the bow and christened the
boat Superior"
A large crowd witnessed the
launching and not a hitch came to
mar the event.
Mr.. ]. ]. Goldman presented the
beautiful American flag which
floated from the super-structure
and Mr.. Joe Phelps sent the cham
payne.
The boat is owned by Mr.. Bert
rand Chauvin and was built under
his personal supervision. It is 10
feet long and 26 foot beam and will
have a net burden of 90 tons, and a
large freight capacity.
It is to be completed within the
next thirty days, and it is credit
to the facilities for shipbuilding. Of
fered by Morgan City.

UTILIZATION

The future Of city must be pic
tured in the mind of its citizens in
the same way that ideals and success
picture themselves in the minds of
ambitious individuals.
A green pasture is NOT an asset
until herds commence to GROW and
LIVE from the NOURISHMENT of
its grasses.
The trees of the forest are USE
LESS to mankind until they are
converted into a means of SHELL

A beautiful harbor Of ample dep

A fertile field offers starvation
unless it BE TITLED.
Fur and pelt yield no good unless
formed into shape for the CON-

The myriads of oysters and

Surplus food products are
VALUELESS unless a medium Of
exchange BE established.
A City that does not tell out

THE STORY OF VANITY"

A beautiful girl, employed in a
fashionable dressmaking shop, longs
for gay gowns. In an effort to get
them she resorts to gambling, and a
police official, preying upon her
weakness, uses her to extort a MUIR
der confession from an honorable
youth, who is trying to shield his
father.
But in trapping the youth the
girl falls in love with him. She be-
gins a desperate fight to save him
from a police "frame-up." The dra-
matte termination Of this fight is
the great climax Of this splendid
screen play, which was written by
Aaron Hoffman and directed by J.
B. O'Brien.
This picture will be shown at

City Managing a Profession.

SISy UOu08us0 y 'VsSOosOss
When the commissioners in charge
of Niagara Falls, N. Y, were looking
about for manager for the city they
heard Of a young fellow at Cadillac,
Mich, named Carr. Cadillac was pay
Ing Carr $500 as city manager, and it
figured that it had made a good In
vcstment, for he had saved the city
$1,000 out of budget Of $4,000.
: Carr looked over the ground at Mag
ara Falls and said he would take the
Job at $1,000. But he agreed to save
the city $25, 5000 by putting the city on a
business basis. It looks as If he would
make good.
That's what the city manager plan
makes possible. It builds up corps
Of trained men who know how cities
ought to run. Then it permits city
to bid for the services Of a man who is
conspicuously successful in the bust

Right Type Of Patriotism.

Every American who does not think
his land the fairest that ever the sun
shone On, his own state the finest in
the Union, and his town the best place
in which to live has not reached the
same celestial plane Of Joy and pa
tri0tism as the foreigner, who thinks
his little wind-swept bog Is the happi-.
est spot in the happiest land the good
God ever made. This is the love Of
country that glorihes a land and the
people that inhabit it. This is what
makes every hill and valley, every
rock and rill, the most beautiful Id the
world, because It il ours, made sacred
md beautiful BY the memories woven
around it-Exchango.

THE SHINE GIRL

The only sunshine that finds its
way to the dingy depths of shoe
shining basement is five feet of
cheerfulness-the Shine Girl. While
shining shoes with her little hands
she polishes up the grouchy and
brooding souls with her cheerful
word and happy smile. Then comes
the day when a cloud temporarily
eclipses her sunniness. Her heart
torn by the proverty of sick neigh
Dor, she steals loaf Of bread and is
taken to the Children's Court. A
rising young judge passes judgment
on her "heavy" offence, but he not
only pardons, but developes a deep
interest in her. He takes her to his
mothers home in the country and
eventually the little orphan is adopt
ed.
While home the Judge meets
again the sweetheart he has never
forgotten, now unhappily married.
The old love is revived and forget
ting the justice he practices he plans
to flee West with her. The Shine
Girl discovers their intentions, and
at the risk Of losing her sunny para
disc Of home, bravely sets out to
stop them. She heads off a message
to the woman and going to the rail-
road station herself reminds him
gently Of the words that went with
her pardon: ut isn't square to steal
what belongs to some one else," and
asks, "Is it square to steal another
mans wife?" Saved by her at the
brink Of great unhappiness, he re-
turns to the city and tries to forget.
With next apple blossom time he
returns to find his Shine Girl bud
ding into womanhood and with the
passing days love awakens within
the hearts of both and the Shine
Girl promises to be his for "keeps"--
to always keep the sunshine in his
heart.
