The five Southwestern states--Tex-
as and Oklahoma, Arkansas, L ouis-
lana and New Mexico-had, accord
ing to 1910 Federal Census figures,
a combined population of Gill, 1886.
Over 100000 Southwesterners
approximately 80 per cent? lived in
towns Of less than $4,000 inhabitants
and in the rural districts.
Nearly 81 per cent. of the people
in the United States live in towns of
less than $500 population and in the
country.
From these figures it is easy to see
that unless our small towns and vii
lagos are prosperous the country as
whole cannot possibly be in
healthy commercial condition.
In fact, conditions in our small
towns and villages usually constitute
reliable barometer for registering
business conditions at large.

knows who has witnessed her giving
out the meals in typical old-fashioned
Southern style. There is not much
done in that well-ordered home that
Mrs. Storm does not direct, and there
is probably nothing done there that
she could not do. AS other women
whose domestic life boasts that Sc
renity which enables them to give the
best service in any. direction, Mrs.
Storm never fails to pay tribute
to the husband who makes possible
much of her activity. In short, sne

which unity their common acts for
the government good will be most
helpful. While the Thrift Stamp
movement has been promoted in or
der to tie up money which is COM
peting with the Government in labor
demapds, the Government certainly
does not intend to have communities
lay aside their conservation plans of
progress. Rather, it appears, would
the nation leaders encourage Thrift
along the lines which will increase
the productiveness without decreas-
ing national war efficiency. The
increase Of food production is de-
manded and it follows that the in
crease in all facilities connected is
demanded. By pooling their COM
mon interests in the interest of the
Government, every community will
become much more able to help win
the war than in trying to go it
alone. The Chamber of Commerce
meeting, to which citizens from all
surrounding parishes will be invited,
is expected to bring forth sugges-
tons along the line of increased
community aid to the intense con-
servation plans which are necessary
to a quick and successful conclusion
of the war.

The Chamber of Commerce Of
Morgan City and Berwick is coop
Grating with the Government in its
conservation plan. The big inter-
community cooperative meeting
which is to be held in Morgan City
in January is expected to develop
ideas which will be especially effec-
tive in helping to enlarge the pro-
ductiveness Of this section Of the
State along lines which will be help
full to war plans Of the United
States. Thrift in its broadest mean
ing will result from a unity of pur-'
pose and action of all communities.
In a talk to the Thrift Committee
held here last Friday night, Mr.. w.
H. Kramer, Parish Director of the
sale Of Thrift and War Savings
Stamps, said that the Russian ma
ton had become demoralized thru
lack of internal unity of purpose.
He also said that France and Ger
many had been wonderfully effec-
tive in their war operations because
Of the unity Of thought, action and
purpose of the people back of those
governments. The Thrift Stamp
movement will develop unity of pur-
pose among the people of the Uni
ted States and the communities

there being but comparatively little
manufacturing in this section. About
80 per cent Of the producers &C this
wealth live in and around our towns
and villages, consequently they are,
or should be, deeply interested in the
growth Of their 'home towns" and
communities.
AS practically ell Southwestern
towns and villages are dependent on
retail business, the citizenship of
these towns and villages should en-
deavor at all times to keep as much
locally produced wealth at home as
possible.
Your home merchants can serve
you to as good advantage as those at
distance if yolrwill specify trade
marked-advertised" goods when MAX
ing your purchases.
Investigation and comparison will
convince you that this class Of mer-
chandise invariably affords better
values or prices asked than the non
standard variety.

Mrs. Storms Election
Presidency Is Happy
Choice

The election of Mrs. Albert Storm
of Morgan City to the highest office
in the Louisiana Division of the Gen.
eral Federation Of Women's Clubs,
that of state president, promises to
be very fortunate for the fedora
ton.
Mrs. Storm is one; of those able,
dependable women ;who brings to
each new task consolation and devo-
ton, as we'll understanding and eff
cheney, chat makes for success. Mrs.
Storm is an Episcopalian by faith, a
teacher of the kindergarten class in
the Sunday school, and serves as or
ganist in the little church in Morgan
City which claimes her allegiance.
This devotion and activity has fitted
her well for service in civic affairs
and the warfare of women, and the
improvement of conditions generally
claim her attention.
The ability to see things in their
relation one to the other, to sense
and emphasize the most important
activity with true prophetic vision
and the courage to follow the path
Of duty as revealed is plainly sixth
sense with the new president. Pa
triotism will be the fore as long as
she is in office and the war is rag
ing. No spot in the sun will offe.
more brightness than the light of
federation, however, which she has
pledged the Louisiana women to keep
burning. The achievements of wom-
en-, long established in public, philan-
thropic and humanitarian service un-
der the banner Of the federation, will
be accredited to the same glorious
trail-blazer-the Federation of Wo-
mems Clubs-if Mrs. Storms guild
ance can keep them in the path of
loyalty as we'll as the path of service.
On this peace today the presidents
first message is carried, and he or,
she who reads may know what she
deems most important, and how she
wishes her co-workers to register. 1t
is interesting to know that Mrs.
Storm is a member of the State
Board of Defense, the Liberty Loan
Committee, of which she is chairman
for St. Mary's parish. She repre-
sents the st. Mary's clubs on the Ma
tional War Savings Committee. She
is vice-president of the Southern Ar
chideaconry Of Louisiana, Woman's
Auxiliary of the Episcopal Church,
and a past grand matron of the Or
der of the Eastern Star of the state.i
She is a Daughter Of the American
