Army Officer, Writes His
Brother Here About Army
Y. nj. {. A.

Camp Pike, Ark, Nov. /, 1917.
Mr.. K. R. Hocd,
Morgan City, La.
My dear Brother:
Received your welcome Letter and
am very proud to hear the good
news and that your people are
thoroughly alive Your showing on
the Liberty Bonds is excellent and
/ congratulate Morgan City and
your Parish on this showing. 1t is
also good news Of the success of the
Army ''Y' fund. Go to it and get
after It hard for the Lord knows
theirs is a wonderful work.
What on earth would the boys do
for amusement when a quarantine
comes along keeping them from
town if it were not for the 'Y",
and you know we sometimes get
such things as the measles and such
like and all have to stay home.
The Army "Y" is not only serv-
ing boys and furnishing them tech
nical books as they need them. One
might not think they were so much
in demand but they are especially
with an outfit like mine as the Sig
nal Corps is made up of highly
technical men and one cannot ex-
pect to advance to any great de-
gree unless he is in this class and
"Bones" hard. We are teaching,
studying. drilling, and working
about IA hours per day and the
boys are so interested they havn't
time to run around much as l have
about 40 Non-Commissioned Of
ficers to appoint out Of my crowd
within the next thirty to sixty
days and its to be done solely on
ability and the boys realize that
and are working. And during all
this mad rush for knowledge the
"Y" is furnishing the technical
books at least some of them, and
also for the boy that don't care to
run to town they send his money
home for him, also sell him stamps
and give him stationery, a good

place to sit down and enjoy one Of
the latset magazines or almost any
newspaper desired and if he don't
care for that they will give him a
movie of the highest type or a ia
nous lecturer or play of some
kind, in fact, any and everything
to entertain and elevate.
The general atmosphere around
these places is the most homelike
to the soldier of anything except
home, and deserves the heartiest
support that can possibly be given.
There is no question Of doubt
but that we will ship over and the
minute we are ready l want to go
so does every man in my battalion
and our whole study and thought is
to outdo the Kaiser and if working
and planning and American ingenu-
ity will do it, ! think we can, as
they are all on the job with that
firm determination that leads to
success. We all realize that this is
fight to the finish and that Ameri-
can Blood must be sacrificed on the
Shrine of Liberty and Democracy
and we are ready for it, but in the
meantime the folks at home must
sacrifice with US and when l say
this l do not mean put few pal
try dollars in and say they have
done their part, for they havn't.
They must sacrifice with the boys
that are going over the top-throw
their dollars behind us until il
hurts, economize at home and give
US that support that will make ev-
cry last man feel and know that the
folks at home are behind him.
Whether this is done now or not
it will have to be done before this
great bloodshed is stopped and the
world made safe for Democracy.
There will be more Bond Issues
and the boys in the Army will take
their share and continue to take
them as long as they are issued
they will also do their level best to
win this war and the least the civil
ian population can do is to make it
as comfortable for the boys as pos
sible while they are doing this, and
no better way can they do this than
by getting behind this Army "Y"
and supporting it until it hurts.
Every dollar put into this worthy
cause will help to bring good cheer
and comfort as well as amusement
to- some mothers son deprived Of
the mothers influence, also help to
create an atmosphere that is whole
some and place such environments
around these young men (that are
the Nations best) that will make
them truly an asset to good citizen
ship rather than liability when
this war has ended.
The Army is doing its best and
really it is wonderful the good this
training will do, we teach men to

The Boys
Army Y. M. c. A. Is Be
Hera!ded As Great War
Facicr Throughout The Ma

Once the idea permeates thor
oughly, there is no longer hasi-
fancy on the part of any man or
woman to give freely to the Army

ceded to be one Of the important
factors in the winning of war for
world peace. Theirs is the voca-
ton Of peaceful. healthful, mind
stimulating pursuits and it will b.
due to their efforts only thah the
boys in the training camps have
those necessary relaxations ard are
surrounded by the softening home
influences which will return them
the same mental, spiritual and ply
sically clean boys who responded
TO their country's call.
Morgan City is giving, but the
idea is slow in sinking home in the
minds Of many that this present
opportunity deserves hearty sup
FORT. Franklin is responding
readily. Lafayette has already
raised about $500. New Iberia,
New Orleans, Houma and many
other towns are proportionately
more liberal than we have been to
this time. None questions the gen.
erosity of Morgan City citizens.
They have taken the financial lead,
per capita, in every fund movement
advanced since the war began. It
is only that the full realization of
the cause Of the Army Y. M. C. A.
has not yet arrived. But today, to-
morrow and Saturday are expected
to bring the city up with her right
full place as leader in this, one of
the most important measures of the
war with Germany
The boys at the Union Bridge &
Construction Company Shipyard
are coming across handsomely to-
day. Messrs. Philpot and Blum
and Brown are representing the
Army Y. NJ. C. A. at that great
plant and they are going to help
splendidly. Secretary Bunger made

STATE HIGHWAY COMMISSIONERS
TAKE INITIAL STEPS TO CARRY
OUT GREAT ROAD PROGRAM
SELL $50O,0O0 BOND ISSUE
State Treasurer Authorized to Proceed
Forthwith and Dispose of the Bonds
To be Issued for Good Roads

All northern Idaho will be interested
to know that promptly following the
signing of the million-dollar be nd bill
by Governor Alexander, the state high
way commission has already held a
meeting and taken initial steps in the
carrying out of the extensive road con
struction program that the bond issue
makes possible and that the north and
south highway is to receive first con
sideration.
The highway commission met alt Boise
Monday, reports the Boise Capital News,
and drew requisition ON tho state
treasurer for 100000, or half the total
good roads bonds passed by the last
Legislature and authorized him to pro
ceed forthwith and advertise the bonds
for sale. This amount of the issue will,
when disposed of, make available for
expenditure for good roads purposes by
the commission grand total of $780,
900, for to the state money will be add
ed county funds and the federal appro-
priation. 1t is planned to spend the
greater part of the million and a half
dollars on the main highway system of
the state in 1917.
In fact the commission has outlined
its most extensive good roads campaign
for the present and following year.
With the funds available and the money
that will be raised by federal aid or
post road and forest service appbrtion-
ment together the funds available in
counties a great deal of needed work
will be carried on.
Chairman Brodhead of Mackay, who
is presiding over the comml ssions
meetings, stated that work on the north
and south highway is to be taken up
just as soon as the weather permits and
will be vigorously pushed. Washing
ton county has already voted 100000
In bonds and Idaho county is prepared
to handle a big bond issue. This money
together with state aid and the federal
funds available will make the north
and south highway more of a reality in
1917 than it has ever been.
The commission authorized advertise
ments to be made for the building of a
steel span wagon bridge in the Idaho
Pacific highway across the Malad river
between Hagerman and Bliss that will
cost approximately $4,000.
The commission is making plans to
build the Clark S Fork river bridge at
Clark Is ferry in Bonner county and
will also take up work on the Lewis
and Clark highway in Idaho county for
which there is now available forest
department funds
The 100000 from the $1,000
600 bond issue will be apportionea for
1917 along the lines of the revised APP
portionment when the 81 100000 bond
issue was cut down. Two weeks will be
necessary to advertise the bond issue.
1t is believed the bonds should bring
three seventy-fiye at least, for the mar
ket is good at the present time.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES
(By D. H.

! The Domestic Science Department
are now serving 25c lunches once a
week. The first lunch was served last
| Thursday and quite large number of
people being present to enjoy it, The
! purpose of serving the lunches is to
expand the ID. ). treasury and to give
practical lessons to the ones who do the
serving.
Since Company L has been called to
prepare for mobilization, some of it's
members are having to leave school.
Those going to school who are called
out are Charles Turner, Roby Love-
lace, Mack Gregg and Neil Erskine
| The first two mentioned boys are Semi
ors and We're planning on graduating
this year but since their call to serve
their country, their graduating plans
will be shattered.
An invitation received from the
kamiah High School wishes that the
| local high school would attend their
annual track meet, participated in by
: schools. AS to date it is not known
whether the locals will accept the in
vitatlon, the track meet is set for April
list. IF the locals succeed in getting
sufficient practice before that date
they will accept the invitation.
The L. & |. Klub will give their last
dance before the Junior Prom, Friday
night. invitations are extended to the
entire high school including the teach
! ing corps.
Track has been practiced very little
lately on account of examinations and
mainly because of lack of interest. AS
soon as the weather permits, however,
II will not be hard to get candidates
out for all events.
The Junior class will have meeting
Friday after school for the purpose of
setting definite date for the Junior
Prom, of discussing the welfare of the
class in general and for adopting new
class eolors, yells, flowers and notices
The Senior Glass Play practice has as
vet, not begun. Practice however will
start in the near future. As yet the
definite cast has not been given on.
but the cast will be known by next
week. Hard work must be manifested
when practice once starts as the play
is quite long.
The Public Speaking Glass of the high
school is progressing rapidly. The last
quarter will be given to extemporaneous
speaking, announcements, gestures and
menorizing. The members of the class
are highly pleased with the course of
study outlined for them.
Next Wednesday will be ''Open
Day in the schools of this city. This
day is given that the patrons of the
school may visit the various classes and
grades. This is not an exhibit, as this
occasion will occur later in the spring.

Saturday night. Everyone present re-

The outcome in examinations for the
past quarter proved to be of a higher
rate than that of previous quarters,
probably because there has been no
vacation or other occasions to so hinder
the studying of the pupils.
The Glee clubs of the high school are
contemplating on giving musical and
