Let it be stated that tbs steam
laundry at Bogalusa offers to do
up garments without injury there
to, whether in scorching, burn
ing or otherwise handling. The
difference in the steam laandry's
methods and the ordinary is graf
flying. Patrons residing con-
venienlly near to Franklinton
may send their articles through
Babington's Drug Store, Inc;
those that live elsewhere may
send direct to the plant by mail,
by express, or by hand, as some
are doing. The scarcity OF do
nestle help and the lack OF faeill-
ties make the steam laundry's
services highly appreciated.

Who is a. Stacker?

Who is a Stacker?
Has Washington Parish any
Slackers?
Which is the greater reflection
Ito report to headquarters that
slackers actually reside among
US whom VIZ want to see convert
ed into noble patriots, or else have
removed from our borders; or to
know that they are actually here
and yet hide their names and 60
on giving them the same open
respect we accord to a really re-
spectacle human being?
Think over the two clippings
which follow:
"Quite a few newspapers are
giving the names of the slackers
| in their communities, those who
failed TO subscribe to the Liberty
loan, donate to the Red Cross ano
kindred causes intended to help
the boys .'over there Espec:
ially those who are wealthy ano
we'll able to give are being showr
up "-Ex.
Resolution adopted by Beaure
gard Parish Council of Defense:
"Believing it to be the duty o
every American citizen to 40 nj
part in helping to win this war
we hereby ask that every man IN
vest in Liberty Bonds, Wa
Stamps, Red Cross and Y, M. c
A. work according to his finan
cial ability.
) "We insist further that the citi
zenship Of this Parish see tina
, such men as refuse to do this ar
branded as disIoyal and unworth,
of the respect Of the patriots
Such men should be made an a
2 lotment and required to meet
or sever their connection wit
this Parish. Slackers and traitor
are undesirable"

City Water Supply.

The city authorities, prepara,
tory to taking over the water
works which the parish has CIV
en- up, are considering plans for
supplying water at the least
possible hardship on the people
and the municipality. Since the
cost of installing water meters is
something over $4,000 each, it
has been suggested that the ex-
travagant use of water on the
premises be made a penalty and
any one guilty of watering gar
dens or lawns or otherwise vast
ing the water supply, be ad1udg-
ed guilty of violating the water
ordinance and punished by being
forced to install a meter at his
own expense or be cut off from
the water supply.
We have always contended
that it was unfair and unjust to
leave hydrants flowing for water
ING gardens, etc., thus prevent
ing other customers on the same
line from getting even su1n'
cient supply for drinking and
cooking, and also causing extra
expense for filing tank. line
only fair way to adjust the mat
ter is for the one who uses the
extra amount to double. treble
or quadruple his monthly water
bill according to she amount nc
uses,

Citizenship Schools.
Another interesting branch OF our
work is the great university extension
Of citizenship. Schools are being held
throughout the state under our Educa-
tional Committee.
Another line of work is that of our
Intelligence Committee, which lists or
ficials of all political parties and oil
men in every township and county IN

for Office. 1t is believed this commit
fee will become extremely intelligent
as time goes on, and its intelligence
will react on the civic welfare of the
