Iona Sacred Spot.

Iona has been a sacred spot time out
Of mind. Long before the earliest mis-.
sionary came to Britain, 1t was place
consecrated to the early Druidic cere-
monies. After st. COLUMBIA founded
his colony, the ground was held so holy
that kings babe their subjects bury
them there. The bones Of 60 mon
archs, Irish, English and Morse. lie
under the sod Of Iona today. One
spot, known as the Tomb Of the Kings,
is stu marked by a row Of monuments,
fenced in by an incongruous modern
iron railing. It lies In q bare plain,
whose surface Is dotted with other
stones and monuments, half covered
with grass, leaning sadly awry. It
is long time since those stones were
raised. In spite Of gloomy climate.
Iona is beautiful. The soil is SO fer
tile that for centuries its fertility was
as miraculous. due to the at
mosphere of holiness rather than ma
ture. Behind its sea cliffs. the swale
rises and falls in dimpled green hol-
lows, the beaches are white with shell
and saDG The 60 kings have chosen
q fair Nesting place.

The Oyster industry which may be
classed as the third largest industry
gives employment in its varied
branches to; thousands Of people IN
the parish. There are thirteen oyster
packers which operate seven months
out of each year-some operate the
whole year out. Houma furnishes
more than half Of all oysters cob
sumed in this country and its pro-
duct is classed as the best in the
land. The Pelican Lake Canning CD,
which cans vegetable and sea foods,
is another worthy asset and impor-
tant business to the City and Parish.
This factory is one of the largest Of
it, kind in this section Of the coun-
try, and gives employment to hun
dreds of men and women who are
engaged lucratively in its various de-
partments.-Houma Times.

Army EaaIes Of NapoIeon.

Before Napoleon's time it had been
the custom for armies to carry huge,
unwieldy flags mounted on poles
which, while they afforded a rallying
point for their corps, also drew the en-

Gent symbol Of the Caesars. The Ma
poleonic eagle itself was inches in
height and 9 inches across the wings
It stood on a brass block 8 Inches

A Ancient LIN.

The earliest mention Of q device IN
any way resembling the modern ele-
vator or lift may be read In vitruvius,
who describes a hosting machine
which was invented by Archimedes.
This elevator Of the second century
B. c., was worked by ropes which were
coiled upon winding drum BY a cap
stan aQd levers. The same writer re-
fers to another similar machine which
was made to rotate by a man who
walked inside the capstan. Such a
primitive elevator Is still in use to
lift passengers and luggage from the
first to the second story Of q convent
on Mount Sinai.

W0MANS NATIONAL
DEFENSE LEAGUE

From the Iberian.
On Wednesday, Aug. 18th 4rs
Storms of Morgan City delivered :
lecture in the interest Of 1.-THE Wo-
mans Council Of National Defense. =
Unfortunately the promised treat
was not generally advertised, only
. very few ladies tried to let their
personal friends know over the
phone, else the delightful Lodge
room Of Elks would have been filled.
Az it was, there was . most intelli-
gent and patriotic audience who
heartily enjoyed the interesting
facts clearly defined, Of the reason
for the organization Of this Womans
National Council of Defense, the
six principal secretaries Of the Ma
ton are the nucleus of the organi-
cation, and every state has in its
Capital its best representatives
forming this Council, who commune
cate with the parish boards etc.
This is to prevent duplicating of
methods and work. All this was ex-
planned in most interesting man.
ner. Mrs. Storms personality is
attractive, showing definiteness Of
purpose and full capacity to carry
out any good work she undertakes.
The principal work now is to in
struct the women generally regard
ing registration which is compulsory
in which every woman mentions
what she can do best to aid the gov
eminent in these trying times and
while every one must register, the
work is voluntary. This, every wo-
man over Is and under SO years
ought to know, as September LIST is
spoken of as the time of registra-
ton, but the time and place will be
sent from the governor later. Mrs.
DR.. Kenwood Shaw was elected
Chairman. There was no need of a
treasurer as there are no dues. In
selecting secretary the audience
forgot the Presidents age limit and
very graciously elected a lady, who
is many years beyond the two score /
and ten and the very first duty of
this Council of defense is to impli- I
citely obey orders, so at the first
meeting a suitable secretary will !
be chosen. We have many young wo-
men who are splendidly equipped for
this glorious work. The members of
each weman's organization in
The city, such as the Guilds and the
societies of the churches, the civic
societies, the Eastern Stars are to
form the board. Those organizations
whose presidents were not there,
were asked to appoint two members
1t the next meeting that will form
IN excellent and resourceful body of
women. By this time, every woman
who failed to hear Mrs. Storm will
De regretting such treat. Some /
lay we hope to see her again. In the
meantime everybody must talk re-
yistration and look through the COL
ection of their various accomplish
nents to decide what they can do
'est for our glorious Nation and
star Spangled Banner.

of Ior4-the Germany OF wonderful industrial ad-
vancement matching and even surprising that of the
United States, of science and art of splendid
plishment in almost every line of endeavor.
He has done what no allied statesman has done
adequately before-old of the Germany that had won
her place in the sun" by glorious force and energy
told of nation that winning everywhere, and
had reason to harbor grudge against her
admring and rather envous neighbor countries than
against the Sandwich Islands There is no more COM
pact or vivid picture of the futty and criminay of
the present war-from the German point of view
than that the President has given.
There was nothing in the world of peace that she
did already have, and have in abundance" he says
What more did she want? Why was she not salts
hedr"
The President gives partial answer to his ques-
ton in these words: "All the while there was lying
behind its thought in its dreams of the future poll
tical control which would enable it in the long run
dominate the labor and the industries of the world
They were not content with success by superior
achievement; they wanted success by authority"
Where the economic orbit of Germany crosses the
political orbitwhere its magnificent material develop
ment came in contact with its feudalstic political
sructure-there is the point of friction which in time
generated sufficient fire to the whole world afame
Kaiserisn plus organized national efficiency plus
long cultivated egoistc patriotism there the in
fuences at work in modern Germany which forced this
criminal war upon the world.
History will conduct post-mortem the Ger
many that existed prior to August, 1914 The scalpel
will be mercess. President Wilson still possesses
abundant confidence that the German people will well
come the principles and practice of free when the
opportunity to sieze them comes But is it possible
that people who have shouldered the yoke of auoc-
racy for so many generations will be ready to step out
into the full light of liberty, any more than the
Russians?
The Washington herald., 1917-11-13

1t is today-and In addition the people
of the country would have had, for
several years past. better public SER
vice at a lesser cost. thus savings an
immense sum Of money.
Moreover, in many sections OF the
country, the railroads would not have
TO be depended to the extent they are
now for the transportation of neces-
saries. A vast network OF interur-
ban lines. electrically operated, would
have supplemented the railroads Of
the country in their transportation
matters, had II been possible for the
public to have forgotten its suspicion
of great promoting interests, and had
the promoting interests not have tried
sometimes to put something over"
against the public. This mutual dis
trust, which has existed for years,
has gradually been squeezed out of
the public service corporations by reR-
son Of the constantly growing set of
regulatory measures. But there has
been no disposition on the part OF the
public to take advanced steps and the
result is now We find ourselves up
against a severe problem which could
have been largely prevented had We
only been possessed of forethought
some years ago.
II the war brings the nation TO
its senses. in that some definite. sensi-
BILE water power development plan is
worked out-even under private own
ership but with reasonable regulatory
provisions to protect the public-the
work will have made its imprint for
all the years to come in another line
of our endeavor.
1t Is to be hoped that some OF those
politicians who for years have been
thriving on their assaults on the
water power trust will take down
their signs, and that real American
opportunity of developing the re-
sources of the country will be given.
Nearly every State has hundreds OF
thousands, IL not millions, OF horse
power going to waste, flowing unhar-
messed and unhampered into the sea
and today we are facing a problem
because of II. 1t surely Is time to
awaken, and to undergo a reconstruc-
tion-after We've taken the Kaiser to
defeat-that will build us up for
all time to come.
