vice, Little Rock, Ark, Little Rock,
Ark.-Though her vote in Congress
was registered against war and ere
ated quite a stir in the country be-
cause of the sob that went with it,
Miss jeanette Rankin Of Montana
is by no means uninterested in the
preparations her country is making
for active participation in the
worlds conflict.
Miss Rankin paid a visit to Little
Rock this week to deliver a lecture
in the cause of Equal Suffrage. Her
stage conversation was all about
votes for women, but when it came
to the lecture hours, Miss Rankin
.. displayed a keen interest in Camp
Pike, and was noticeably pleased
with the information that the wal
city feels the touch Of a woman:

More Wooden. Ships

Report must be had to more
wooden ships if the full program OF
the Emergency Fleet Corporation is
carried out. This is the opinion OF
expert CONSTITUTIONAL engineers, wha
now have had time to study in de-
tail the analysis Of the shipbuilding
program, which was made public
Saturday.
The program calls for more than
5000, 1000 deadweight tons of the
new ships. Of this tonnage rs per
cent is scheduled to be constructed
of steel. After a careful survey of
the situation those well qualified to
Judge are convinced that the steel
portion of the program is impossible
Of execution. The only way in
which the Emergency Fleet Corpo-
ration could build so many steel
ships would be to secure curtail-
ment of the navy's program. Since
it is foregone conclusion that the
navy will not curtail the number of
the ships it plans to build, it is ex-
pected that the Emergency Fleet
Corporation will be forced to turn to
wooden ships in order to attain the
maximum output of the ocean ton
mage.
The limiting factors in the con-
struction of so large number of
steel ships as is provided in the
Emergency Fleet Corporations pro-
gram are the shortage of the steel,
the lack of yards in which to build
such large ships and available labor
skilled in steel work. The Emer-
gency Fleet Corporation must not
compete with the navy for steel
workers and the navy's demands for
plates, shapes, structural steel and
other materials take precedence ov-
er the orders for the merchant
ships being built by the government.
A clash between navy officials
and those pushing the merchant

FIRE PROTECTION ON R. r,
RICHT-OF-WAY

The Southern Pacific is launching
a vigorous campaign of fire protec.
ton up and down the length of its
big system. Forty-five thousand
employees are being asked to spread
the gospel among shippers, ware.
housemen and others with whom
they come in contact.
The campaign at this time is tn
result of resolutions adopted by
the Railway Fire Protective Asso-
citation at its recent st. Louis Con.
vention.
Vice-President and General Man.
ager w. R. Scott, in charging Sou.
thern Pacific men to redouble their
vigilence and adopt even more ef-
fective measures to safeguard sup
plies, says:
1T develops that the responsible
ity Of feeding not only ourselves,
but our Allies, rests largely upon
this Nation. As all the materials,
supplies and foodstuffs necessary
for our armies and our navy must be
necessarily transported over our
railway systems, the necessity for
fire protection becomes a patriotic
duty. Any amount of insurance un-
der world conditions is incapable of
food and materials that
are destroyed"

hand through the Hostess House.
Mrs. Frances Reyburn Van Etten,
prominent socially in Little Rock,
has been named as Matron for the
Hostess House, and this, too, was
good news to Miss Rankin.
Although, she was unable to visit
the camp, Miss Rankin gave further
evidence of her interest in the SOL
diers there by leaving at the hotel
where she stopped while in Little
Rock, huge bouquets of flowers
that had been presented to her by
local suffragists, with instructions
that they be conveyed to the base
hospital at Camp Pike. Miss Ran
kin declared that the flowers would
give sick soldiers far more comfort
than they would her, in spite of
the fact that she is very fond of
flowers.

ship program to come, it is believed,
in the matter of securing the pref
erence in the assignment of mate
rial. There is marked division of
opinion already manifest as to the
relative value of naval and merchant
ships At this time. Many contend
that it is more important to add
ships to the merchant fleet than it
is to add them to the naval force.
The chances, however, seem to be
entirely in favor of the navy being
allowed to continue and perhaps ex-
pand its program. The natural out
come of the situation is held to be
an increase in the number of wood
en- ships built.

could make no change at this time
in the matter the secretary was in
structed to write Mayor Shannon
OF this city to that effect. District
Attorney Saint stated that the pay
ment of the 2 IA mill tax by Nor
gan City and other towns in the
parish was matter of agreement
and that the tax had been decided
upon as fair and equitable adjust
ment. He stated that under the
terms Of the town charter of Nor
gan City that the parish could not
make direct levy upon the property
of the town but that the state laws
provide that the towns must pay
their proportion of the parish crimi-
nal expense. IN this instance,
since the Morgan City Charter pre-
vents the direct levy of criminal
tax by the parish, it only remains
for Morgan City to levy and collect
their criminal tax and pay same oy-
er to the parish. Mayor Shannon's
letter to the Police Jury was in the
nature of refusal to pay the tax;
but the police jury seemed hopeful
that the Mayor would reconsider
and meet the obligation as they
could not deviate, according to the
advices Of the District Attorney,
from the methods pursued. It was
stated that the usual statement of
criminal tax due be rendered Nor
gan City and that further refusal
to pay would force the parish into
a suit in order to collect the tax.
Upon the advice of the attorney the
Parish will continue as formerly in
the matter.
Parish Demonstration Agent E.
L. Saucier submitted his report for
the past month which was read and
filed. A letter from the State Dem
onstration Agent to the effect that
the parish contract with Agent Sau-
cier terminated with this month
caused q motion to be made and car
rier that he be retained or another
year in the work he is promoting.
Mr.. Saucier's report showed that
hog cholera has been stamped out
in this parish; that charbon will
be completely controlled
and that the school farm club work
is producing great results.
Parish Clerk Wilbur Kramer ap-
peared before the Police Jury and
stated that on account Of the bur-
dens falling upon his office be-
cause Of the war he found that he
would be unable to personally at
tend to the matter Of financing the
remainder of the debt due on the
Monument, amounting |
to $500. The veterans in the par
ish are not able to actively take care
Of the matter themselves, and the |
successive war calls make it imprac-
tical for the balance to be cleared |
through the usual subscription or |
benefit channels. On motion |
Mr.. J. R. Drackett, the police jury |
the sum of $500 to be
paid in two payments, one-half in
1918 and one-half in 1919 to wipe |
out the indebtedness on the monu-
nent. The motion was carried. Ad-
jutant Ernest Trastour, one Of the
st. Mary Confederate veterans, who

The conference of County Councils

asking LaFollette to resign on the
grounds that he is giving aid and
comfort to the enemies of the United

the Imperial German Government.
The resolutions were passed, by
vote of 400 to l which is pretty con-
