squeaky soIes In Tune.

Manufacturers Of shoes who make a
speciality of the squeaky variety should
pay more attention to pairing them up
in harmonious duets The squeak,
squeak of the hired girls high heeled
bronZed number tens would drive d
saint to cuss words But we must not
heap our displeasure upon the poor
girl. She is not the author. She is
only the reproducer. She merely acts
the part that the wax cylinder per-
forms for the monograph. There is
just as great a necessity for a musical
director in an up to date shoe factory
as there is in grand opera, and no
workman should be permitted to build
a pair Of squeaky shoes unless he can
pass a severe test in harmony.-Car-

ROBBER SMOTHERS
CASHIER IN RAID
AT NATCHITOCHES

Natchitoches, La, June IA.
/ E. Bath. cashier Of the Merchants
and Farmers Bank here, was
held up at ] 80 p. m. Thursday and
the bank robbed of $54O0. The
loss is fully covered by burglar
insurance and the banks assets
are unimpaired. A customer found
Cashier Bath on the floor uncon-
scious and gave the alarm.
A physician was summoned and
after some time revived the cash
ier, who said that he was alone in
the bank as is customary at that
hour every day, the bookeeper be-
ing at dinner. While working on
the adding machine and before
he saw or heard anything sus-
picious cloth was suddenly
thrown over his face, he felt as if
smothering, and knew no more.
He says he can give no clue to the
robber or robbers.
The robbery is thought to have
been the work of a professional
who knew the cashier was alone
at that hour and practically no
business going on. The bank is
in the heart of the business sec
ton and in the same building as
People Hardware Store, a block
and half from the court house.

whether he is a clergyman or
whether he comes in any other
way within any classification for
which exemption is specially pro-
vided in the selective service law.
"'In each federal judicial dis

board Of review to which appeal
may be taken from local boards

GREAT ACTIVITY In
OUR OIL FIELDS.
Contrac ts For Pipe Lines Awarded.

1t is pleasing to the citizens OF
New Iberia to see the great ac-
tivity Of the Gulf Refining Com
pany in the oil fields, situated
only a few miles from our little
City, which indicates very fore
IDLY that this company is con
vinced that the field will event
ually prove one Of the largest
pools in the Gulf coast territory.
This company has contracted and
are actually at work laying a
four-inch pipe line to its earthern
reservoir which is reported to
have a capacity of about twenty
five thousand barrels, and we un-
derstand that the pipe line will
be extended to Olivier Station
where loading racks will be in
stalled to facilitate the shipping
production. Two twelve hundred
barrel cypress tanks have been
erected at the Bernard-Staiti No.
/ flowing well, and four more of
like size is also contemplated. The
derrick on the Dr.. Sabatier tract
has been finished and drilling of
this well will be started in the
next few days. Three other loca-
tions have been made by the Gulf
Company and the derricks will
soon be shot up the usual distance.
An army of skilled and ordinary
labor has been employed, many
of whom is already at work and
the entire field will soon be under
full sway, paying good wages
which finds its way in the regular
channels Of trade in our little
City.
The recent well on the Bernard
Staiti tract is still flowing and
