Conserve the Water Supply.

The water supply for the
own has been so much inter,
cred with of late that every one
connected with the artesian we'll
asked to cooperate in con-
,erying the supply until the real
trouble is located and remedled.
It is understood that the po-
lice jury and town council Will
be petitioned to take the matter
up together and make necessary
arrangements for a good and
sufficient flow of water to satisfy
al patrons and in the meantime
Mr.. E. L. Magee, who has the
pumping in charge, requests
that those using water from the
tank kindly give tnelf alIelt!ou
to keeping all hydrants closed
and to prevent in every way pos,
sible, the needless use OF water.
Mr.. Magee. it is needless to
say, is doing his best and al
ready with one week of the
month still ahead. over 100 gal
Ions of gas has been used in
pumping water into the tank.

this instance.

The War and Amusement.

The st. Tammany Farmee, in
our opinion, sounded a strong
note of common sense in an edi-
torisl last week, part of which we
produce below.
10 keep a balance at this
time when the minds and hearts
of the people are unduly exer-
cised thru the different war
problems, makes relaxation more
than ever necessary, and legiti-
mate recreation and amusement
should be supplied and encourag.
ed in every community that the
people may not be given over to
a morbid brooding and a useless
bowling at calamitles which would
soon knock the heroism out of
US all. Mr.. Mason says:
"In the midst of a war in
which greater interests are in
volved than any war in history
interests that extend to every
living being in the world, and af-
fecting principles that every
American citizen holds dearer
than his life--there is an inclina.
ton in many to withdraw from
all amusement and shudder in
anticipation Of the terrible things
that may happen should the war
terminate by the defeat of the al
lied powers. 1t is right to think
seriously of and prepare for con-
conditions that may result from a
long drawn-o war, but if this
seriousness is never broken by
pleasure or happy thoughts the
ability to do the right thing, the
faculty of reasoning intslligeutly,
is greatly lessened.
Ii every one came to the con.
clusion that starvation was newt.

of money would become SO re-
duced by the high prices that
every penny must be boarded for

De luxury, we would then have
hard times in reality.
If money is kept in circulation
it will come back to you again,
and while there should be no
waste, the ordinary pleasures of
life shonld be INDUCED ill.,"

Up to the present time the
country as a whole has been
practically sleeping with regard
to the war. But We will awake
with a sudden start when the
s7lective draft begins to draw
our own sons and brothers to
the. trenches. There will be no
lack of interest from then Oh.
Once thoroughly aroused to the
seriousness of the situation. the
American people will wade in
with sleeves rolled up and stick
to the end.
