jUDeE BROOKS DELIVERS An ELOQUENT
and CONVINCING APPEAL.

Last night Judge John W. Brooks OF
DALLAS, Texas, Field Agent for the Dali
las Federal Reserve Bank for the Third
Liberty Loan, addressed the people of
Tensss parish at the Court House, and
ell who were so fortunate as to be
present received and enjoyed such .
treat as seldom comes to our commu-
nifty. For nearly three hours his match
less oratory, and his true and genuine
eloquence, the ring OF sincerity and
patriotism in his voice, and his splen-
did appearance, held his audience al
most spell bound.
Judge Brooks comes as the special
representative of the Government,
armed with information and with facts
and figures, In some cases of such q
secret and confidential nature, that he
can not take his audience into his full
confidence and tell them all that he
knows.
The Judge is engaged In making
speeches in twenty-six parishes Of
Louisiana and in portions Of Texas and
Oklahoma, trying to arouse the people
to full and complete realization and
understanding Of the great crisis which
confronts our Nation, and to impress
upon them that victory can only be
won by each and every man, woman
and child doing his or her full duty.
It is very much to be regretted that
the Judges coming was not known
sooner 30 that It could have been sd-
vertised and give all our people an
opportunity to hear him, Is Judge
Brooks delivers q message that should
be heard by all the people Of the
United States.

1000 MEN WANTED FOR sMIPsuIlDINe !

New Orleans, Feb. Is. 1918.
Editor, Dear Sir:
The Ship Building Committee of
Louisiana, State Council of Defense,
which is subsidiary to the National
Council Of Defense, is endeavoring
to enroll 1000 men in Louisiana to
place their services at the disposal of
the Government in building the
Nations ships. These men may file
their enrOllments with the Secretary
OF the Ship Building Committee, F.
A. Crippen, No. SO4 Gravier street,
New Orleans, La. and the men will
be required to 60 wherever the Gov
eminent may need their services in
this work.
1t is the policy of the government,
however, to keep all men 30 enrolled
employed at the nearest shipyards to
the place of enrolment. Standard
wages, eight hours a day, and COM
Portable housing facilities are prom
ised. Men who are skilled artisans,
mechanics, laborers and time-keep-
ers, in fact every branch of labor
that goes towards the building of a
ship is required for this important
work.
After enrolment at the New Or
leans Office, the men will be fur
nished with a certificate from Wash
ington, showing that they are
member OF the Nations forces, and
that they are looked upon with the
same regard as the men in uniform,
and such men will be honored by
the community of which they are a
part. Each man also will be fur
nished a button, showing that he is
a member of the Shipworkers Re-
serve OF the United States.
The Louisiana campaign is part
OF the great national movement con.
Quoted by the United States Govern
ment to enroll $50, 900 men for the
Nations shipyards. The need of
ships is imperative. Unless we have
ships we cannot carry munitiOn and
food supplies to Europe, nor can we
transport our soldiers to the Western
front. There are ZIG shipways now
completed for government service, of
these 3O2 are built for the construc-
ton OF wooden ships and Ala for
steel ships. In all of these shipyards,
only one shift of men is working.
This is mOnstrous and unless there
is three times the amount of man.
power for these shipways, the great
programme Of the Emergency Fleet
Corporation cannot be carried fur
Their and German submarines can
sink our vessels faster than we can |
build them.
Unless there is a voluntary re.
spouse on the part of the loyal and |
patriotic workmen of America, who
will be paid good wages in the Gov
ernment's service, the situation
which is already intense will develop
into one Of the greatest crises the
Nation has ever known.
Further information concerning
this enrolment will be furnished |
gladly upon written or personal ap
plication to F. A. Crippen, Secre-
tary. No. 8O4 Gravier street, New
Orleans, La.
Fraternally yours,
FRANK A. CRIPPIN,
Secretary.

PATRIOTIC WORK AMONG the COL.
0RED RACE.

With view of stimulating interest In
the sale of war and thrift stamps
among the colored public schools OF
the parish, Supt. Wade has addressed
letters to the various colored teach
ers, asking them not only to invest
part Of their sayings in these national
securities but to interest their school
children In the same cause. One of
the colored teachers, Alfred E. Scott,
principal Of the Crimea school, replied
to Mr.. Wade to the effect that he had
already purchased one hundred dol.
lars worth Of Liberty Bonds, and bis
wife and hs had contributed eight dol
lars to the Red Cross and six dollars
to the Y. NJ. @. A. fund and for the
present he would not be able to buy
any stamps, but said, "If you will be
patient, Mr.. Wade, in . little while
hope to make at least Q modest pur-
chase of war stamps as further aid to
the Government in the present crisis. /"
Mr.. Wade was SO pleased with the
sentiment expressed in his teachers
letter that he forwarded the letter to
State Superintendent Harris at Baton
Rouge, who evidenced his appreciation
of SCOTS patriotic work by the fol-
lowing letter to him, Q copy Of which
Mr.. Harris sent Mr.. Wade, the latter
handing the Gazette:

A. E. Scott,

My dear Scott:-Supt. Wade very
kindly sent me your letter of the first
instant addressed to him.
I wish to congratulate you very sin
cerely for your efforts to aid the Gov
eminent in this time of stress. You
have shown that people with small
means and large families can aid their
very materially when their
hearts are In the right place. 1t is
very gratifying that the negroes gen.
orally throughout the nation have
proven that they are patriotic and
willing to give their money and
lives II necessary to protect American
rights.
With best wishes,

Farm work Is progressing rs rapidly
- weather conditions will permit.
Good deal OF ground has been broken
up and work will begin In earnest as
soon ss the sun dries up the ground q
little following the recent rains. 1t is
probable that there will be consider
able increased acreage this year, and
we sincerely hope this will apply to
food stuffs, for it Is the specific wish
OF the President and OF the Food Com
missioner that greater attention be
paid to raising something to eat, for it
behooves us to feed ourselves and the

BUILDER BUYS 7TH Az. CORNER

Lorne A. Scott took title yesterday to
the property at the northwest corner Of
Seventh avenue and Fifty second street.
the Arbour Casino, from Mrs. Emma
G. Badgeley Of East Orange. N. j. The
transaction developed the fact that Mr..
Scott has disposed of the forty-six lots
In The Bronx which he took In pay
ment from Paul NJ. Herzog for the
twelve story building at A to 46 East
Thirty-secopd street before taking title
to the property as the lots figured in
yesterdays deal, they being given by Mr.
Scott In part payment with other con-
sideration for the Seventh avenue cor
ner, which had been held in the market
at 100000. There is every reason to
suppose that the Seventh avenue site
which is 1855 feet on the avenue and
IA feet on the street, will be improved
at the earliest opportunity with a mod
ern building since the improvement on
the corner IL far from productive. The
Bronx lots which Mrs. Badgeiey has
taken In part payment for her corner
comprise the greater part of the block
bounded by the Grand Boulevard and
Concourse, Valentine avenue, 196th and
lsIth streets. The property fronts 42S
feet on the Concourse. $50 feet on 196th
street and 876 feet on Valentine avenue
The northerly line measures 3076 feet.

COFFEE MARKET.

Trading In the market for coffee
futures yesterday was exceedingly quiet
and there were no transactions after the
call Prices opened at declines of Q to
points, with local trade interests dis
posed to liauidate their holdings In De-
cember. while there was a fair demand
for May by European operators, who
have been accommodating contracts In
that position for some time. Az easier
tone developed later In the day, final
prices showing net losses of to 6
points. At best the market was a mar
row AFFAIR and easily influenced either
way by orders.
Doubtless the weakness In the Brasil
ian markets Influenced sentiment here
to some extent Rio spots were rs reis
lower. Santos declined 100 reis and
there was b break in Santos futures Of
$50 to 225 reis, Rio exchange on Lon
don was Nd. lower.
Indications In the cost and freight
market point to easier conditions as
Santos futures show a decline OF ~
points from Mondays close. About the
only offers yesterday were Santos 4s at
1895 I. o. b. London credits, equal to
1926 regular cost and freight.
The local spot market developed a
better inquiry but generally conditions
were quiet, with Bio spot declining Nc.

Two Large Corner Properties

Dawson Dwelling.

Two large properties, one on Broad
way and the other near enough to that
thoroughfare to be considered as Broad
way property, were sold yesterday. They
are corners and lack modern improve
ment. Since building interests acquired
both properties there is reason to be-
heve that they will be improved just
as soon as the Government will lift the
restriction9 on building material. With
recent trading In mind It would seem
as II there Is a good demand for Broad
way property. which for several years
has not figured SO prominently in the
trading as other important thorough
fares. The need of better buildings In
certain Broadway sections may be re-
sponsible for the sales yesterday OF the
northwest corner of Seventh avenue and
Fifty second street and the northwest
corner OF Broadway and Sixty-seventh
street. Aside from these two transac-
lions the buying was limited to common
place property.
