a CALL TO DUTY

From t&e b~attlefields in France
there comes an unspoken call that
should find an answer in every Amer.
lean heart. The recent great events
in Europe, the of Ameri-
a arms on the fields of France
should spur every American to great
er effort.
Our people at home should not
rest on the laurels of our soldiers in
France. Every death on the field of
honor in the line of duty and for our
eountry's aus should be a call to
us for every sacrifice and every ex-
ertion to aid the cause for which our
soldiers r fighting, for which our
soldiers have died.
Increase production, decrease con
sumption, save and lend to the gov
eminent. Every cent lent to the
United States is used to support,
strengthen, and aid u soldiers in
France.

that maintains any form of delivery
service, including dry goods, cloth

Gerry, meat and provision stores.
Under one delivery a day over each
route, a delivery vehicle can leave
the store twice or three times q
day but owe a different route on
each trip. Not more than one deiiv-
cry q day is made, to one section Of
the city or town. Delivery compa.
MES whether cooperative or individ-
ually owned, are also requested to
make only one trip a day over each
route.
The restriction on returned mer-
chandise is interpreted to mean
three days in the customers posses
sion. It is to be applied in all cases
except for error on the part of the
seller or defective merchandise.
The establishment of a coopera-
tive delivery system in every place

vice, merchants are requested to
avail themselves of the savings that
this form of delivery makes possible.
Merchants in larger cities who re-
tain their individual delivery sys-
tenn should confine it. as far as pos
sible, to the central sections and
adopt the cooperative plan for sur
burban service, thus saving long
trips of many partially loaded We
hicles.
Every merchant is requested to
put this program into effect at once
in his store. Carefully compiled re-
ports from stores in both large and
small cities that have adopted these
plans show that substantial savings
have resulted. In this way these
stores have been able to OPP
crate with smaller forces al their
men have been called into military
service or engaged in essential wal
occupations. They are. helping to
win the war.
Should any merchant want further
information he should consult with
the State Council Of Defense or with
the Conservation Division of the
War Industries Board.

done for his family, but more es-

at the point of death with a violent
attack of dysentery, and had been
given up by the family physician.
Some of his neighbors advised him
to give Chamberlain's Collie and Diar-

this conspiracy against the voters
should be defeated in the first prim-
AIRY, and that there should be no Q
ond one to lengthen out the cam
paign In IN definance of the Presi-
dents expressed wishes. this can
be assured by the voters uniting on
the strongest and best candidate, the
man best qualified to represent Lou
isiana in the senate, and to express
the wishes and views of the people.
We believe this man is Ex-Governor
Hall, and in this view we are abso-
lutely di-sinterested, having never
asked nor received anything from
him, and having no interest in his
election as senator beyond the wei
fare of the state and country.
There is not the slightest trace OF
seetionalism in Governor Hall. He
represents no single section of Louis
lana, bat the entire state. He was
long a resident Of North Louisiana,
but has made his home in New Or
leans since his term as governor ex-
pired. He has spoken in every par
ish and is known to most of the
voters. He has been approved by
them, and elected to every position
to which he has aspired, to the dis.
trfct, circuit and supreme courts,
and to the goyernorship. In these
positions he had had to investigate
every public question concerning the
people of Louisiana. and to acquaint
himself with all issues. He has had
to go to Washington, to New York
and elsewhere on the business of the
state, and he is known to the lead
ing men of the country, from the
President down. II the voters OF
Louisiana found him worthy in 1912
to manage their affairs, how Infinite
ly better able is he to do SO today.
with the experience he has had in
u affairs since then. He is 100
per cent American, loyal and pa
%triotic, was at the head of u af-
fairs when the wal began, and is the
mar to be trusted in the present
war conditions, as is appreciated at
Washington and throughout the
country.
It has been noted that great states
ike Massachusetts, New York, Vir-
ginia and Georgia have frequently
elected retiring governors to the SEN
ate, because these men have already
been approved by the voters and
their experience in the chief execu-
tive office of the state have made
them especially acquainted with its
affairs and needs. This practice is
largely responsible for the high
standing and influence these states
occupy in the senate.
In fine, every argument calls for
the nomination and election Of Gov
ernor Hall. The Times-Picayune.
therefore, urges the voters to pre-
vent a second primary, to bring the
senatorial campaign to an early CON
c%lusion, and to avoid the evils that
may result from this delay, by nomi-
mating Governor Hall to the senator
made vacant by the death of
he amented Broussard, with the
certainty that Louisiana and its peo-
Die will be honorably. efficiently and
IDLY represented by a man who has
