The most remarkable growth Of
the automobile and garage business
during the past FIVE years is one Of
the wonders of every western town
and Logan is no exception. One OF
the largest and most complete Of
these local firms Is the Kimball Au-
to Co. Of South Main street and
Preston, Idaho. Beginning business
as the local Ford dealers in 1913,
after one year they decided to go in
to the higher priced car business.
They have the past two years been
the representatives Of the Chalmers.
bort, Chandler and Oakland cars
and naturally have been throughout
these years one Of the busiest deal
ers in the city. Early realizing the
advantage of a branch Of their bust
ness at Preston to serve the people
of that section they located there
and today have the largest garage
in that city, and exchange service
between Preston and the local house
is maintained. The Logan home OF
the Kimball Auto Co. is a modern
garage building, so by $50 feet in
size and equipped with complete
shop and repair departments and a
vulcanizing plant. Expert auto re-
pair work is done by them and to
buy a car of Kimballs' is a guaran-
tee of satisfactory after service. The
Preston house is almost as large in
dimension as this local one, being
40 by 100 feet with shop adjoining.
The past season has shown the
class Of cars handled by this firm.
The Oakland has proven a wonderful
six cylinder car OF Incompatible
speed and power in the light car
class. The many owners Of this stur-
dy car are the only evidence needed
in proving its superiority. The COM
ing year this firm has contracted fol-
$50 cars of this make for distribu-
ton in this territory. The Chalmers

HE DID ALL HE WAS HIRED TO DO.

'1'm not supposed to do that" said he
When an extra task he CHANGED to see;
That's not my job, and it's not my care,
So I'll pass it by and leave it there"
And the boss who gave him his weekly pay
Lost more than his wages on him that day.
"Tm not supposed to do that" he said,
"That duty belongs to Jim or Fred"
So little task that was in his way,
That he could have handled without delay,
Was left unfinished; the way was paved
For heavy loss that he could have saved.
And time went on and he kept his place,
But he never altered his easy pace,
And folks remarked on how well he knew
The line of tasks he was hired to do!
For never once was he known to turn
His hand to things not Of his concern.
But there in his foolish rut he stayed,
And for all he did he was fairly paid,
But he never was worth dollar more
Than he got for toll when the week was DER,
For he knew full well when his work was thrO'
That he'd done all he was hired to do.
If you want to grow in this world, my man,
You must do every day all the work you can;
If you find task, tho it's not your bit,
And it should be done, take care of it!
But you'll never conquer or rise if you
Do only the things you're supposed to do.
Exchange.

THE MANCHAC BRIDGE.

The esteemed Baton Rouge State
Times recently commented as follows
on an event that was no less aus
picious and welcome in the estimation
of all the people of Ascension than 1t
could possibly be to their nelghoofs
of East Baton Rouge: >,
"The signing of the contract for the
building of the bridge over Bayou
Manchac is especially gratifying to
the. people of Baton Rouge, who nave
been interested for some years IN see
ing a better means of communication
between the two parishes, over the
popular model highway, than the old,
slow and dangerous toll ferry. The
signing of this contract is the culmIna-
ton of plans long fought for, and long
delayed The three parties to the
contract had to be satisfied, and a task
difficult in itself was made more dlt-
fcult by the jealousy of the west side
of Ascension parish, against the east
side. The bridge, always a necessity
was made imperative when the Clay
gut road was graveled, and this gray
eled work extended into Ascension
parish. The location Of the Jefferson
highway on the east bank OF the mis-
sissippi river placed another obllga-
ton upon the two parishes to build
the bridge across the stream connect
ing them and was one Of the recent
eventathat spurred on this enterprise.
The Preliminary work, however, has
been Some, and the bridge is soon to
be an accomplished fact. 1t should
bring the rich and prosperous Hope
Villa section closer to Baton Rouge,
What the State-Times says IS well
said with one exception, the fly IN the
ointment being the imputation, re-
garded as wholly mistaken and I'M
Just, that the movement for the con-
struction of the much-needed bridge |
at Hope Villa has been delayed or
by Jealousy Of the west
side of Ascension parish against the
east side" We do not believe a par
;icle of tangible evidence can be cited
n support of this broad statement.
Some little opposition between the
wo sections may have been fomented
low and then along political and par
isan lines by political and partisan
eaders to subserve party or factional
but there is no downright
ealousy or ill-feeling against the east
ide of the parish on the part of the
asst majority of the west bank resi-
ents, and the latter will greet with |
ndiluted satisfaction and pleasure
10 announcements that the contract!

Draft Classification Under Way.

Questionnaires have been mailed by
the local board during the past week
to registrants whose order numbers
range from l to 799, inclusive. This
includes the batch sent out today
The pamphlets are mailed each day
to per cent of the total number of
registrants in the parish, hence 80
per cent of the men subject to draft
in Ascension are now in possession,
or will have received by Monday, the
important document forming the
basis of the classification which will
determine their liability for future
military service Registrars are re-
quired to execute and return their
questionnaires within seven days
from the date thereof. Failure to do
SO constitutes a misdemeanor punish
able by imprisonment for not more
than one year, and may also deprive
the registrant of valuable rights and
result in his immediate induction into
military service and trial by court
martial.

rNTERURBAN SCHEME PRESSED.
Prom oters of Observation-Disclosures
Line Ask Local Aid.

A despatch from Thibodaux to the
Times-Picayune under date of Dec.
Is, makes the pleasing announcement
that new life is being injected into the
proposition to establish an interurban
electric railway along Bayou La
fourche from Donaldsonville to Lock
port, distance of ffty-six miles. The
road is to be built by what will be
known as the Southern Traction and
Utilities Company, and among those
principally interested in the project
are: C. C. Barton, president, Of Abe
marie; Albert Boudreaux and L. C.
Roger, of Thibodaux; Walter OIL
meyer, Plattenville; DR.. A. J. Price,
president of the Lagarde Planting
Company; Henry Leblanc, of Pain
courtville, and Harold Raymond, of
New Orleans.
The promoters say that the right of
way for practically the entire route
has been secured; that the capital
stock of the company will be $780,
600, and that of this amount all they
desire to obtain from residents along
the line is 100000, the remainder of
the capital being assured as soon as
local people show their interest by
subscribing at least one-ffth of the
required capital,
The route of the proposed road ex-
tends through what is declared to be
the most populous rural section in the
world. The territory from Donald
sonville to Lockport is practically one
continuous street, inhabited by sue
cessful farmers and dotted at inter-
walls with thriving towns and villages.

has been signed for the construction
of the Manchac bridge.
The day has passed when one sec
ton can expect to thrive at the ex-
pense of another. What helps one
helps all, and what hurts one must
have some injurious reflex influence
on others. This is distinctly an era
of community cooperation, and any
other gospel than this as affecting
communal interests and activities is
heretical.
While our Baton Rouge contem-
porary ais rightfully feeling gleeful
because the Manchac bridge will bring
Hope Villa and the state capital clos
err together, Donaldsonville rejoices
in the greater and broader prospect
of shortening the distance between
Winnipeg and the capital city Of AS
cension. So we all shout, "Hurrah
for Manchac bridge"

Tractor Replaces Mules.

At meeting of the board of COM
missioners of the fourth road district
held at Duplessis last Saturday, it

animals. They will be offered for sale
at public auction Saturday, Jan. y,

Indicated to the highest bidder. The
