Parish Council Of Defense
Solves Labor Trouble

The most serious problem that has
confronted our people has been that of
labor, On the farm in particular, which,
owing to abnormal conditions, was not
unnatural, but the problem has been
made more intricate by the Stacker,
who refuses to work, and plays off not
only when the opportunity presents
itself, but makes the opportunity. But
the day Of the work slackor has ended,
as the Executive Committee of the
Council Of Defense, cooperating with
the committee of citizens, has devised
ways and means that will put him to
work in earnest, or he will h We to
suffer the consequences. The procla-
nation published in this issue tells the
story, and the registration card that
every male, white and black, from l6-
Sc years inclusive, has to carry in the
Parish Of Natchitoches is the check.

A Worthy U. D. c. Deed

1t is not only the fashion and
fad, but the universal custom for
Natchitoches to go oyer the top in
everything she goes into, and her
latest achievement along these lines
is for the Red Cross hospital bed
that the ! cal U. d. q. is estab-
fishing III France.
Seven hundred dollars was the
goal set for the purpose by these
loyal and public spirited Daugh-
ters, but within an increditably
short time $4,000 was the amount
collected by subscription and
entertainments, and when it is
remembered the constant demands
made upon our people in the many
drives, their response has been
most generous, as it should have
been, however, for such a worthy
cause.
Mrs. Sam Aaron, the treasurer
of the chapter. has forwarded the
amount, $4,000, to the National
chairman, in Birmingham, Ala,
and Natchitoches has the honor of
being the fortieth chapter on the
roll to have accomplished the noble
work of placing a hospital bed in
France fer our sick and wounded
soldiers.

Captain Ayznond and Men
Appreciative

The Maryland Gazette, published at
Annapolis, Nd, contains the following
item, which will be of interest to Match

has many friends:
Have the officers and men of the two
companies of 6O5th U. s. Engineers,
who have been at the Naval Academy
rifle range for target work during the
past few weeks, appreciated the hospi-
tality Of the citizens of Annapolis and
the War Camp Community Service?
They most certainly have, as shown by
the following letter filed today with
Mr.. Richard Roland, in charge of the
work at the Bladen Street Armory:

Court House News

The sheriff's Office had very busy
week. Bank of Robeline robbed.
R. Devargas' jewelry store broken
into. L. H. Johnson's store entered
through an open transom, and last, but
not least, the chief Office deputy, Jas
]. johnson, was kidnapped.
On September 18th, Mr.. Joel Nc
Cook, assistant cashier of the bank,
was in the bank alone, working on his
books. The robber entered the rear
door and struck McCook on the back of
his head, rendering him unconscious.
About 4:30 p. m. Mr.. Carl English,
cashier, came to the bank and found
McCook lying on the floor unconscious.
McCook had large bruise on the back
of his head where he was struck, and
his forehead was badly bruised when
he fell on the concrete floor.
The sheriff's Office has made every
effort to find the robbers, but without
avail. Dogs were taken to the scene,
as they were to Johnson's and De Var
gas stores, but SO many people had
been over the ground that they could
not take any trail, and as yet none have
been caught.
The marriage of Mr.. James Johnson,
deputy sheriff, to Miss Julia Gillen,
daughter of MIR and Mrs. George Gillen,
of Campti, was solemnized by Judge
Blackman, in Alexandria, Sunday night,
where the happy pair motored, accom-
panied by Mr.. Brook Gillen, brother Of
the bride, and Father Devright, the
Campti priest.
