U. S. ARMY SEEKS RECRUITS IN TENSAS
PARISH

Mr.. Frank j. Seibert, recruiting Off
GER for the U. s. army, was visitor to
st. Joseph and Tensas parish this
week. Officer Seibert's visit to Ten
sas was to interest the youth of this
parish in army life and to explain the
many advantages the army offers in
way of education and advancement
The U. s. army offers many induce
ments to the youth of the land and
guarantees good education with all
the advantages of travel, with oppor-
tunities to learn practically any trade
toward which the applicant may in
cline, while the salary is only limited
by individual ability, the minimum
wage being about s1s per month with
all essentials of life furnished by the
government. Enlistment covers
period of six years and it is very rare
that the soldier, once accustomed to
army life, cares to give it up, but al
most invariably re-enlists for longer
period.
While at st. Joseph Officer Seibert
has headquarters at the Abrahm Hotel,
where he will be glad to see any young
man who may be interested in the
army and who may desire to be exam
ined. 1t might be worth remarking
that there is no binding obligation on
any applicant to join the army because
he wishes to take the examination,
but it is also worthy of note that eve
ry applicant is by no means sure of
acceptance, fol, while many are called,
few are chosen, as the physical and
mental requirement of the examina-
ton overlooks very few defects and
none but men sound in mind and body
are accepted by the army, for Uncle
Sam wants nothing but the best.
We do not know of any recruits to
the army received from this parish,
but we understand young man from
Mr.. Ben Jordan, took the
and was accepted. OFF,
Ger Seibert has requested the Gazette
to state that any one who may become
interested at a later date and who may
think of enlisting can address him at
Monroe.

RIVERS AND HARBORS BILL IN DANGER
OF DEFEAT

"The rivers and harbors bill now
pending before the senate" said SEN
ator Ransdell of Louisiana, "is the
most constructive piece of waterway
legislation introduced in many years.
1t eliminates number of the projects
which have been sharply criticized and
provides for beginning work on 80
new projects, every one of which is of
undoubted merit and Importance, and
has received the unqualified approval
OF the army engineers. Moreover,
provision is made to prosecute and
maintain every worthy waterway pro-
ject in the land which is already under
way.
Notwithstanding the great merit
OF this measure, which carries an ap-
preparation of about S39, OOO, 900 for
next fiscal year, a minority report has
been filed by Senators Kenyon, Jones,
shermant Harding and Watson, which
proposes to substitute a lump sum ap-
preparation Of S25, 100000 to carry on
existing projects, and also authorizes
II new projects of more or less i'm
portance.
"If this substitute is adopted, 1t will
be the hardest blow ever received by
river and harbor legislation. l earn
estly appeal to every friend of water
ways to do his utmost to defeat this
substitute and secure the adoption of
the bill as reported by the majority of
the committee on commerce.
"There is great congestion of traffic
throughout the Union, and every
agency of transportation should be
fostered and encouraged to the ut
most, not destroyed, or at least badly
crippled, as is done by this substitute.
The time is short. The emergency is
acute. Any action to be effective
must be taken at once"

the first president u the United States,
George Washington, was tittingly 'od
appropriately celebrated by the child
dren of the grade school of the st.
Joseph High School.
Promptly at 9 O'Clock the children
and a number of spectators assembled
in the yard in front of the school, and
the following program was rendered
in most successful manner:
Song, "America," by the School.
Reading, "The Flag of Our Country"
Henry Wimberly.
Recitation, "The Origin of the Flag"
Katherine Ward.
Reading, ''The Making of the First
Flag" Elizabeth Drake, assisted by
little Marjorie Skinner.
Song, "Columbia, the Gem of the
Ocean," High School.
Recitation, "George Washington's
Birthday" Gus Watson.
"Little Maids of Long Ago." Marjorie
Baragona, Elizabeth Clarke, Edith
Ashford, Carrie Lee Hornsby, Eliza
beth O'Kelley, Winans Drake and
Corinne Wilson.
'sThe Signing of the Declaration of In
dependence" Richard Henry Lee,
Henry Wimberly; John Adams,
John Skinner; Samuel Adams, Gus
Watson; John Hancock, Edward
Buelow; Charles Carroll, Frank
Hornsby; Thomas Jefferson, Hughes
Bondurant; Benjamin Franklin,
Howard Netterville.
GA Song For Our Flag" Louise Ward.
Song, "Star Spangled Banner" the
School.
A Salute-"Hail to the Flag" Loris
Levy, assisted by the School.
AS the entire school sang the ma
tional anthem, "The Star Spangled
Banner" the flag was raised by Eliz-
abeth Drake, an honor conferred upon
her because she had made the highest
average mark of any of the pupils in
the grades during the first half ses-
sion. Not breath of air stirred, but
as Old Glory was drawn to the top OF
the fiaostaff breeze sprang up, and
as the flag reached the top its beauti-
full folds were caught by the quicken
breeze, and there it waved, thing OF
beauty, enough to arouse the patriot
ism in any man, and all the assembled
crowd raised their hats and with
hearty cheers saluted the flag of their
country-that flag which is destined to
play such an important part in the
future history of the world. After the
flag had been raised and as fitting
climax to the beautiful celebration,
Hon. B. F. Young made an impressive
speech, his subject being "The Flag
and Patriotism"
All who took part in the exercises
did so, in a manner, which reflected
credit upon themselves and those who
had so patiently coached them in their
several parts.
