about 100000 tons. This short
age must be made up through con-
servation; there is no surer way Of
saving coal than by burning wood.
The fuel question is a timely and
pressing one. Now is the time to
cut wood; even with other essential
work there are a number of days at
this season which can be used in
getting out wood fuel.
Repeated warnings have gone
out that there is fuel shortage to
face and with the experience Of last
winters inadequate coal supply,
early and effective measures should
be taken. Cannot this be foreseen
by community leaders? Action is
called for now. Committees should
be formed at once in every com
munity to ascertain fuel needs and
to see that wood is supplied at fair
and reasonable prices. In incorpeY-
ated towns the municipal author

Don't Use Telephone Un-
less Absolutely Nee
eSSary

The girls at the switchboard are
swamped. Now that folks are stay
ing at home, many seem inclined to
do their visiting over the telephone.
Hundreds of extra calls are being
sent IN to the operators every hour,
and it is tending to lower the stand
ard of the service.
Manager Clark, who at all times
does everything in his power to give
satisfactory service to his patrons,
has asked The Review to pass along
the word to the public that no un-
necessary calls be made at this time.
Along with the "fu" conditions and
folks anxious about a friend or in
need of the doctor or doing extra
shopping by phone, it is putting
those hard-working ladies at "cen-
trail" in position where they can
not do all that they are asked to do
and do it promptly.
Therefore, it is only necessary to
hint that little consideration will
be appreciated by the operators, and
surely no man or woman in this city
will be so thoughtless as to call up
friend merely to pass the time
away.

Nurses Will Not Be Sent
Families Who Can
Nurse Their
Own Sick
Red Cross and Doctors Unable to
Get Volunteers To Care For
Cases Where No Other
Help Is to Be Had

The Spanish influenza epidemic
shows Improvement here during the
past twenty-four hours as far as the
report of new cases is concerned
However, many new cases have
broken out and many cases already
reported are in serious condition.
The Red Cross nurses and the doc
tors are fighting bravely and tire
lessly, but there is a woeful lack of
their numbers to properly handle
the situation. More and more vol
unteers are demanded, and it is al
most unbelievable that families not
effected by the disease hesitate to
offer their service when those serv-
ices are so vitally needed.
One thing should be understood
by all people-the nurses who volun
teer are not for the use of families
who have still members in good
health who may nurse their own
sick. More than enough cases COW
ering every member in a family are
found to demand the attention of
every worker who has volunteered
for the service. It appears that an
uncalled-for fear of attending to
their own sick has prompted Some
people to call for nurses in families
where there are only one or two
cases of influenza and one or more
members Of that family who are in
good health and able to do their
own nursing The Red Cross work
ers and the physicians are not Of
fering special services to such cases,
and if there is a perfect understand
ing of the conditions no such cases
will be urged upon them.
Help and more help is needed.
Will not the good men and women
of this city answer the call?

Morgan City Oversub-
scribes Fourth Lib
erty Loan
Allotment Of $174,96O and Bonds
Sold Amount to $180,550

Mr.. F. D. Winchester, Morgan
City chairman for the Fourth Lib
erty Loan, reports that his territory
has subscribed $18O,55O for bonds
against their allotment Of s174,96O
at the close Of next to the last day
of the campaign. All banks will con
tinue to sell bonds of this issue and
every citizen is urged to buy a bond.
Morgan City has again acquitted
herself with honor in this latest Of
War Fund Drives. At every call
since war was declared against Ger
many, the community has responded
In fullest measure and will continue
to do SO as long as the government
finds it necessary to call upon its
people for the means with which to
prosecute its fight against world
disturbing influences.
Because the chairman has report
ed an oversbscription is no cause for
cessation of bond purchases. Each
bank OF Morgan City has taken up
an additional amount of these bonds
in order that all citizens may share
in them and each bank is offering
them on terms that every wage earn
er can easily pay. 1t should be a
matter of great pride for every citi-
zen, man and woman, to be the own
er OF bond Of every issue that the
government has called for.

WHAT SCOUT IDEA is DOING.

A great editor says this Of the Boy
Scouts of America:
"When in these wonderful days
see these little fellows in khaki as
an integral part of the war in their
remarkable craftsmanship of Liberty
bonds and War Savings stamps; as
dispatch bearers for the president in
the personal distribution of war lit
erature, and their activity with regard
to the two great war channels-the Red
Cross and the Y. NJ. G. A; and realize
what this means in inspiration to them
and a self-acquired knowledge which
they could so effectively get in no
other way. and which they will re-
member all their lives. 1 am truly
grateful for the boy scouts.
II don't think we realize the force
with which the boy scout idea is 60
ing to cosnt upon the next generation
Of men. The boy who is loyal scout
today is very apt to be. within twenty
years, the man who counts and the
citizen who leads. lie is being trained
along lines of constructiveness that
he will never forget"

WHAT SCOUT CAMPERS TAKE.

Some people insist that camping
hike isn't the real thing unless the
hiker carries his own equipment on his
back. OF course, for the real wilder
ness outings, where there are neither
roads or trails, that sort of thing is
necessary, but ninety-nine out of every
one hundred scouts will take their out
ings this summer through country
where it will be easy to pull a trek
cart. And the exercise of the trip will
be strenuous enough without adding
the burden Of pack-sacks.
AS for getting a trek-cart. there
isn't a troop that couldn't rig one up in
short order and at little expense. A
pair of stout wheels can be obtained
from almost any blacksmith or cooper
shop, and it is simple matter to fit on
a strong wooden box. Add tongue
with handles or ropes to pull it by,
and a canvas cover to keep out rain,
and the rig is ready for service.
Carrying space in trek-cart is linn
tied and one will have to cut out nom
essentials. Campers will need tent
and blankets, cooking outfit, first
aid kit, an ak, plenty of extra rope. a
lantern, a box Of "chuck," tent pegs, a
spade for dltching and digging latrines,
and, of course. each scouts personal
outfit. This should consist of toilet
articles, materials for mending and a
complete change Of clothing.

SLEPT LATE THAT MORNING
Traveller in Sleeping Car Had His
Own Reasons for Not Wanting to
Turn Out Early.

A certain well-known local artist
who threaten dire dOings if we use
his real name and who is in Il position
TO make good-was returning TO Cleve-
land from Columbus the other night.
He had Il lower birth, and when he re-
tired he noted that there was nobody
IN the berth above him.
The evening was chilly and our
friend soon perceived the need of an
other blanket. He thought of the berth
above, reached his hand up and pulled
blanket down. 1t came hard, but he
got it; and in few minutes he was
comfortably asleep. But not before he
had wondered what made the blanket
so nice and warm around the neck.
There's no use in trying to work up
to Il climax in this yarn. The man
from whose sleeping form that blanket
had been dragged awoke with loud
complaints later in the night. And his
words were so violent that our artist
friend feared to get up in the morn
ing, until all but him had fled, as the
old song hath it.-EXchange.

Conducted by National Council Of the
Boy Scouts of America)
TEACH SCOUTING IN CAMPS

Camps which are developed into out
of-doOrs boarding houses sometimes
keep boys from learning what the
prospectuses claim that camping
teaches.
Sometimes they keep the boys in bed
during the early morning hours when
the most intimate and instructive
glimpses of the wild creatures are to
be had. Sometimes the program fills
all the evening hours with activities
which prevent boys from having the
soul-thrilling experience of drifting
on the sleeping lake, studying the stars
and listening to the voices of the night.
How much chance does the camper
have, in the highly organized camp, to
learn cooking under conditions In
which he must cook or 20 hungry?
The boy who, in camp, relies upon
the chef, the hired dish-washer, the
tent inspector, will make as little prog
ress in learning self-reliance. initla-
tive and intelligent cooperation as
he would in the city apartment where
he relies upon the janitOr, the dellca-
lessen store and the policeman to keep
him going. The thing which develops
genuine strength of character is TO
meet nature hand-to-hand and conquer
cold and hunger.
