SILVER
A Story of Today, BY E. E. Enrich.

silver came-I think it was a cheese
knife = Ruth squealed ecstatically.
The next day silver bread boat
came by express to be followed
shortly by silver sandwich plate
and a slender little device in ster-
ling which might have been meant
for a bud vase or a hatpin holder.
It happened to be the year for we'd
ding gifts in silver-in mothers day
the blushing bride was almost
buried beneath gilded flower baskets
and "art vase" and all of the little
brides friends seemed to have ran
sacked the jewelry shops for the
latest thing in bread and butter

silver and glass. AT least you can
break a half dozen of these" OBJ
served the bridegroom several weeks
before the wedding, as he surveyed
the long table upon which Ruth had
placed the tenth sterling topped jam
pot, gift from a fond cousin in
Nebraska. "But that silver stuff
never will wear out. You'd never
use half of that table ware even if
you opened boarding house."
Nonsense You can't have too
much nice silver" declared the bride
stoutly.
"All right-only just wait until
my congregation gets busy" warned
the rabbi with a grin.
Ruth waited, and the congrega-
ton "got busy" as Joseph had pre-
dicted. 1t was his first pulpit and,
during the three years he had served
the. Morristown congregation, they
had grown so fond of him that even
the mothers of manageable daugh-
tiers had forgiven him his engage
ment on the spot. The congrega-
tional gift, chest of flat silver, left
Ruth quite speeches. with delight:
even Joseph, unappreciative as the
best of men are likely to be at such
moments, had to agree that his flock
had acted with rare discrimination
"For they might have got us Ford
the way Max's congregation did
when he married." he told Ruth,
land it would have sent us to the
poorhouse trying to keep it in gaso-
line on my salary"
Then came the Sisterhood's gift
Joseph didn't know what one used
it for, but Ruth recognized it at once
as a fruit compete - while the in
dividual presents of various kindly
disposed members promptly follow

families sent salad sets of hammered

Yet even the modest amount of
silver she used proved to be bur
den to Ruth who was far too con-
scientious to trust it to the tender
.mercies of the inefficient maid Of all
work. "She1l throw it all in the dish
pan at once when I'm not looking"
she explained to Joseph, when he
protested that he wouldn't have her
late for temple every Friday night
because she insisted upon fussing
about the kitchen after dinner. "And
I can't have that lovely flat silver
scratched. Suppose any of the con-
gregation were here to dinner and
Mary would hand them a spoon or
knife all scratched up? Everyone
would say I'm not a good house
keeper"
Joseph was stricken dumb before
such an awful possibility. He had
not been a Benedict very long; but
during the three months of his mar
ried life, he had learned that his
wife's excellent sense of humor en-
tirely deserted her as soon as he
ventured to jest about her sacred
duties as housekeeper He might
tease Ruth about her love of senti-
mental poetry or her softheartedness
to the schnorrers who always come
first to the rabbits kitchen door but
after few teasing references to
certain mess Of jelly that didn't
"jell'' and chicken that had graced
the family board nicely Drowned
without and painfully raw within,
Joe decided that some subjects were
too delicate to joke about.
But he felt called upon to protest
rather vigorously, when Ruth, fear
full that the maid would scratch her
treasures, insisted upon taking a
precious two hours every week to
clean it. 1t seemed to Joseph that
whenever he managed to find time
in a crowded week for a good walk
or concert, whenever he brought
home a new novel or magazine ex-
pecting to share it with his wife, he
would find her enveloped in huge
bungalow apron, plying smeary
rag over one of seeming mountain
of silver bowls, plates and cake bas-
kets.
For heavens sake" he would cry
vexedly, "why must you always be
puttering over that darn silver?
Didn't you clean it last week."
"Of course" Ruth sighed little
at his masculine density. "But the
steam heat or something makes it

know you never can get too many
extra spoons" her mother consoled
her.
Maybe not; but this makes ex-
actly four dozen extra ones and I'd
much rather have had an electric
iron or a vacuum cleaner" snapped
the tired bride-to-be ungraciously.
Then a big box impressively
marked with the label Of proni-
nent New York silversnith arrived;
after much scattering of excelsior,
Joseph finally unearthed his presi-
dents card and what he termed an
"indecently expensive" silver platter
The two young people tried to Wis
ualize it upon the buffet of their
modest dining room set and failed.
ust think of the books we could
have bought with the money
mourned the rabbi.
"And just imagine cleaning that
thing every week." moaned his flu
ture housekeeper.
But perhaps the climax came
when the postman brought white
satin-lined affair containing silver
soup ladle "from your friends, Mr..
and Mrs. Myers" Then Joseph al
most swore in anything but rab
binic manner. "Why, those poor old
souls have been up against it for
years." he sputtered angrily. "All
silver; but Ruth bore that affliction
last winter, the chairman of our
charity committee and I kept Won
dering how we could make things
easier for them without hurting
their feelings. There's old Mrs.
Myers taking in fine sewing just to
make an extra penny, and there they
waste their little money on getting
us things we don't need"
eff she'd only hemmed me a few
tea towels" murmured Ruth. "They
always come in handy and this
makes my third soup ladle."
Once established in their coy
four-room fiat in Morristown, the
young couple found that the silver
bulked up even. more terribly than
they had anticipated. One can't use
more than one salad set or pie knife
at meal; try as she might, Ruth
never found occasion to direct the
maid to place more than three tea
spoons at each plate; while Joe stub
bornly refused to have silver bread
and butter plates or grape fruit cups
set before him. keep 'em until we
have company if you want to-" he
told his wife, "but when I sit down

In a city such as this where there
is but little diversified farming thf
prosperity must Of necessity de
pend upon the industries within it:
midst. One of the leading business
assets is the fish and oyster indus
try Of this city. It advertises the
city most in other states from which
it naturally draws its trade.
The Berwick Bay Fish e. Oyster
Co. is the largest concern of its
kind in Morgan City and one of the
leaders Of the State. This corpora
ton maintains it's home Office here
and has branches located in Hous-
ton and Dallas, Texas for the dis
tribution of it's products.
The past seven seasons have beer
years of great progress with this
company, since it was acquired by
the Loeb interests with Joseph H
Loeb as president and general
manager. Mr.. Loeb is member OF
one of Morgan City's oldest and
most successful families, and by
the judicious use Of his inherited
and acquired business talent the
business done by the Berwick Bay
Fish & Oyster Company has grown
from year to year in a manner
which bespeaks for the company a
splendid and prosperous future.
When Mr.. Loeb took charge of
the Berwick Bay Fish and Oyster
Co. he determined to find out all
that could be learned about the
business and he has studied it from
every angle. He knows conditions
at the reef where oysters come
from, how to get them in the most
economical way and how to get
them to the consumer so that they
lose none of their deliciousness Of
flavor on the way, whether the ulti-
mate consumer be two blocks from
the plant or in distant state.
A business dealing with natural
resources such as fish and oysters,
when founded on the right princi-
Pies, and conducted by men Of the
right business acumen is only limit
I'd by the ingenuity and business
ability of the men in charge.
In the affairs of this company
Mr.. Loeb is thoroughly conversant
With every detail, knowing just
What to do and when to do it.
The largest business of the Ber-
wick Bay Fish & Oyster Co. is
way from home, a large share of
being in the great State of Tex

home needs. This part Of the
business was recently improved up
on by the establishing of delivery
service, SO that now it is only nee
essary for the housewives Of Nor
gan City to telephone their orders
for fresh oysters or fish and they
are delivered Immediately. The
business of this company at home as
we'll as abroad disproves the asser-
ton that "a prophet is not with
out honor, save in his own coun-
try" In fact all of Morgan City is
proud of this successful industry
for the service it renders and for
the favorable advertising it gives
to Morgan City in many places
where its products are consumed.
The Houston and Dallas branches
, do a retail and wholesale business
in Texas and are in charge Of Mr.
/; l. W. Pepper and W. H. Martz, res
pectively, and both of these branch
es are under the personal supervis-
ion of the president and general
manager.
When recording the success of an
individual in the industrial world it
is a double pleasure when the man
is home product Mr.. Loeb was
born in Morgan City and has always
lived here. He is one of four sons of
Mr.. and Mrs. Leopold Loeb. The
name Of Loeb has stood for what is
best in the business life of this city
for more than half century. Mr..
Loeb is Mason, a member of B.
P. o. E. No. 1921 and the Wood
men of the World. He is married
and he and Mrs. Loeb are the par
rents Of one child.
A resident of Baltimore who was
in Morgan City recently stated:
there is no comparison between
the Berwick Bay oysters and the
Baltimore product The Berwick
Bay oysters are far superior. Work.
ing upon the theory that the people
always want the best when it does
not cost more, Mr.. Loeb is contin-
ually working 'and planning to in
crease the scope of the business
which now has more outside custo-
mers than any other Morgan City
product.
Truly quality and character are
the chief cornerstones of the busi- |
ness Of the Berwick Bay Fish and

question of EARNED merchant YES
sells loomed up tonight as possible
result Of the raiding activities of
German commerce destroyers in the
Atlantic"
All of the crew of the Yarrowdale
including three Americans, were
held as prisoners of war, it was
stated, the German government
holding that they were taken aboard
an armed ship opposing the German
naval forces.
It is expected that Ambassador
Gerard's report on the matter will
be followed at once by demand
on Germany for the release of the
Americans.
German sources in Washington
said tonight that there was little
likelihood of q serious controversy
growing out Of the incident and it
was apparent that the German
diplomats here believe the Ameri-
cans will be released on demand.
The situation however is causing
serious concern to the State De-
partment. The armed ship question
is still 1t issue although in allegiance
between this country and Germany.
The United States has held since

ing guns on a merchant vessel for

Germany has taken the position
that the arming of merchantmen
automatically transforms it into an
auxiliary cruiser, and places her
crew in the position of belligerents.
It is on the Teutonic construction
of the doctrine of armed merchant

holding the men captured aboard

German raiders as prisoners of

AIR FLEET WORK
IS Being PUSHED

Washington, Dee. 12-Production of
Liberty alrplane motors on quantity
actually has begun. American army
avlators are in training on the fighting
lines in Europe and the nation is with
in sight of realization of the great air
fleet project.
Figures cannot be published, but It
became known today that members of
the air board, who returned recently
from an inspection trip to plants and
flying fields, are satisfied that another
sixty days will see men and machine.
being turned out at a rate that insures
the ultimate success of their plans.
The first machine made Liberty mo.
tor was completed on Thanksgiving day
and a substantial number of the ma
chimes will be delivered this month
The machine made product has func.
toned under test as satisfactorily as
the hand made motors first constructed,
and SO far no important defect in de.
sign has revealed itself.
Other plants will begin delivery of
machine made motors within few
weeks. One will have a capacity of
several thousand month. With all
plants working, the monthly production
of motors not only will permit tn
equipment of the air forces of the
United States, but will permit the gov.
ernment to supply many thousands of
engines to the allied powers to supple
mcnt their own product.
Meanwhile, training of aviators and
observers and thousands of mechanic.
is moving forward steadily. both 1T
home and abroad. The capacity of the
plant for producing aviators at homo
has been expanded to the point where
the most serious problems now facina
the government in this part of its wa:
work is to get enough students of the
right kind to educate.
The ground schools are turning out
every week large class ready for pre-
liminary flying work. Probably fifth
of the men admitted to the ground
schools fail to complete the vigorous
course of general instruction required
Certainly an equal percentage drop out
before each class passes on through its
preliminary flying course.
More than 1000 candidates for the
coveted rank of junior military aviator
have already been sent overseas. Prob
ably the number at work abroad is fal
in excess of that figure. They arc
training in every allied country that
speciali7es in aviation and reports from
France, England and Italy have noted
their presence.

That Was What Congressman
Taylor Brought Us in His
Address to Big Crowd
WAS A RARE PRIVILEGE

1t was genuine treat to our people
to listen to Congressman Taylor last
Saturday evening and to receive from
him first hand information concerning
his recent trip to the European battle
front and to hear him express himself
in general terms concerning the great
war now upon us.
Congressman Taylor, as our first cit
izen, always draws crowd when he
speaks in Glenwood, and on this oc-
casion our people were doubly anxious
to hear him, for, aside from the respect
they were pleased to extend to our
congressman, they were intensely in
terested in hearing what they knew to
be authentic war news from the battle
front.
And thus it was that when the time
arrived at which it had been an
nounced that the meeting would begia,
standing room was at premium and
many turned away disappointed and
returned to their homes. Others, mo-e
determined, crowded through the
standing mass of humanity and pushed
their way to the front and found seats
on the edges Of already occupied chairs
while several Of the men sat on the
floor throughout the evening.
Shortly after $3.50 Judge shumate
approached the front of the platform
and announced his pleasure in pre-
senting our Congressman Taylor whom
he preferred to designate as just plain
Ed Taylor, our own Ed Taylor Of
Glenwood Springs and who, h de.
clared, needed no introduction TO .
alenwood or Garfield county audience.
When Congressman Taylor arose he
Twas greeted with prolonged applause

States. w. c. Phalen, mineral technol-
ogist of the bureau, has already visited
the chief manganese producing divisions
of the country, and his report is that a
considerable proportion of the nation s
requirements can be supplied. So prom
ising is this situation, it is intimated
that some of the vessels now carrying
ore from Brazil may soon be released
for other vital purposes.
1t now looks very much as if the
United States has already permanently
established potash industry as a re-
suit of Germany cutting off her ship
ments long before this country went to
war. Having depended heavily upon
Germany, which has great natural de-
poslt of potash, this country was at
once thrown upon its own resources for
this necessary material and bureau ex-
perts in cooperation with those Of
other bureaus, started to find if possible
the raw materials in this country. Such
success has attended their effort, es-
pecially in obtaining potash from the
dust of cement mills, that it is declared
the United States will no longer be de-
pendent upon any foreign country for
its essential potash supply.
