coal should be sold to a customer at
any one time This idea didn't
seem to fit very well after the voters
got home and began TO think serious
y on the matter. One ton of coal at
a time would never do during the cold
winter months for before delivery it
seemed barely possible that many
coal bins would contain nothing but
the Ncoal hod. But At the meeting
Saturday there were not a few who
favored the old vote. but one ton to a
customer The argument seems to
be that the users of a considerable
amount of coal would have something
on those who use but little and if the
amount was not limited the man who
made three tons go for the winter
would have hard work in getting
three And so the arguments were
presented and a vote taken. 1t was
decided to rescind the former vote
and make the limit five tons to a Gus
toner ut one time, except in the case
of a surplus on the cars In that
case, if the selectmen deemed it adj
visable, they may sell the coal in even
larger quantities.

WOULD YOU GIVE
 YOURSELF A JOB?

If you applied to yourself for job would you get it?
 Think it over.
 Just be "boss" for few minutes then check up your record for the past month as employe.
 Remember now, it's your money meeting the payroll.
 Have you, as employe, filled your hours with productive, conscientious labor, or have you been too busy watching the clock?
 Have you produced enough in that month to make a profitable invest ment !?
 Have you put your shoulder to the wheel--forgotten petty differences and difficulties-or have you put sand in the bearings?
 Have you asked questions and i'm. proved-or have you been too wise to learn?
 Have you analysed what you are doing, and why or used instinct in- stead of reason, and gotten an indif- fenrent and methodless result?
 Have you allowed your mind to be- come poisoned with anger, worry or envy, and by doing contaminated and reduced the efficiency of others? Have you gone through the month, a vision of payday the oasis in your desert of work? And have you let this vision shut out from view all else in the days work that would give yourself job?
 Or, have you been heart and soul in the work-on the job every minute with a breadth of vision that made of the desert of work an oasis of oppor- tunity?
 Check up. Be truthful. Would you give yourself job?

George Smith, who assaulted a small boy at Globe, the other day, while the little fellow was putting up an American Flag outside the Miners Union hall, is in jail at the copper city and not one attorney in the place can be found who will defend him. Smith has been denounced by all the unions in town and will probably be expelled after his trial is completed. He was president of the Federal union and became rampant anti-American when war was declared. He was at once removed as an officer of the or ganization.

THE AMERICAN FLAG
An Apostrophe

An Apostrophe Flag of the Free! Thy folds sublime Shall triumph OCT the wrecks of time! And like the rainbow's radiant form, Shall gleam for aye above the storm! Thou art the emblem of a nation Founded by the Great I AM! The shekinah of His salvation Giving liberty to man! When God, Jehovah, ruled the storm, And set His promised arc in splendor, He cast hues, which so adorn Thy folds, thou dear resplendent ban
 nerl
 Thy matrix of the supernal, Fashion'd by the Great Eternal; His bow of promise e'er shall be To all the hosts of liberty! Like lovely arch of promise bright, Outshining all the stars of night; Thy folds shall beam OCT land and sea,
 The hope of millions yet to be! Where thou dost lead the brave in arms, Triumphant zeal infames the soul; And men grow heroes at thy charms To do, and die, at Freedoms goal. Flag of the Free! Wave on forever Wherever humankind shall be-! May Freedoms sons desert thee never 'Twould sound the knell of Liberty!

ANOTHER GREAT LOUISIANA
SALT DEPOSIT.

The interesting news comes from
Lafayette, La, this week of the dis
covery within five miles of that at
tractive little city of what is believed
to be the largest deposit of natural
rock salt in the known earth.
The find was made in the Anse La
Butte section of Lafayette parish,
where oil was discovered several
years ago and a number of prolific
wells yield the valuable fluid which
plays such large and ever-increas-
ing part in the worlds industries, and
it was while boring for oil that Andre
Martin of Lafayette city perforated
the gigantic salt deposit. It is as
serted that the formation is at some
points covered by barely 100 feet of
earth, and therefore of easy access,
while it has been perforated to a
depth of 3400 feet without reaching
the bottom of the bed.
A company has been formed with
$75O,0O0 capital, all subscribed and
paid up, and machinery for the sink
ing and working of the projected mine
has already been ordered, indicating
that within the next few months the
extensive salt output of Lou
isiana will be greatly augmented and
a very notable addition be made to
the states vast natural resources and
the volume of her products.

WARM PRAISE FR D. H. S.
State Inspector Says Nice Things
About Local School.

The following plimentary re-
marks concerning the Donaldsonville
High School are quoted from the
January report of Chas. F. Trudeau,
assistant Inspector of Louisiana high
schools, and will be read with feel
ing Of pride and qualification by the
friends and patrons Of the institu-
ton and patriotic citizens generally
''The building and grounds have
been described in previous report.
In the high school department eighty
four pupils are enrolled; in the ele-
mentary grades, 379; twelve teachers
compose the faculty. We found all
the classroom work progressing salts
factorily, but we were especially
pleased with the work in eighth grade
English, tenth grade geometry,
eleventh grade French, ninth grade
English, and eighth grade arithmetic.
Other features that impressed us IA
vorably are: the good work done by
the girls along the line of physical
INSTRUMENTATION gymnastics, the
excellent work of the boys military
company under the direction Of one of
the teachers, the sanitary condition
of the building and closets, the trees
set out on the school grounds, the
well-kept laboratory. But, above all,
except the classroom work proper,
we were impressed with the large,
scientifically managed library, with
it's twenty-five bookcases, reading ia
bles, and 2841 volumes. The teacher
of the first grade pupils is in charge
of the library, and much credit is due
this young lady for the superb man
ner in which she manages this de-
partment and for the deep interest
she manifests in building it up and IN
getting the town peohe of Donald
sonville to cooperate 18th her in this
excellent work Amo@ other needs
of this school are ma charts and
globes"

LOCK APPROPRIATION PLEDGED
The Atchafalaya Board Conditionally
Agrees to Contribute $15O,OO0.

Another step toward the construc-
ton of lock in Bayou Lafourche at
Donaldsonville was taken Thursday
when the board of commissioners Of
the Atchafalaya basin levee district,
in session at Port Allen, adopted a
resolution pledging an appropriation
of $150,000 as the Atchafalaya
boards pro rata Of the cost of the
lock, provided congress shall contrib
ute 100000 or more for the same
purpose. The resolution was offered
by Commissioner J. A. HUMPHREYS of
Terrebonne, seconded by Commission
err King of Iberia, and unanimously
adopted by the vote of the six men,
bers present. 1t follows:
Whereas, at a joint meeting of the
Atchafalaya and Lafourche levee
boards, resolution was adopted COM
hitting the two districts to appropri-
ating $25O,000 for building locks at
the mouth of Bayou Lafourche; and
whereas, we recognize the irregular
ity of that action; and whereas, ma
terial Of every kind to be used in the
construction of this work has adj

ReSOiVeu, InaC we 90 nefeDy
agree to appropriate one fourth of
the cost of the work, provided the
amount shall not exceed $150,000, for
the construction of these locks; but
the appropriation shall be contingent
upon the congress Of the United
States appropriating 100000 or
more for the same work, and any and
all resolutions heretofore passed at
tempting to make an appropriation
for this work are hereby repealed"
