able and ready to purchase It. while
in Louisiana you have half dozen
pieces of property offered for sale to
every buyer, and the prices are ma
turally lowered. This fact was fully
demonstrated during the year just
gone by. The influx Of money from
was followed by innumerable trans
high priced cotton and other products
fers and deals in lands right here in
our midst. A few months before you
couldn't sell property at any price,
because the people didn't have mon
ey to buy it, Mr.. Saunders urged
thrift that this impoverished condi-
ton Of our people would not recur.
He urged the people OF this parish to
take care of everythin- clothes, shoes
farm implements, harness. The gov
ernment is now in urgent need of
harness to equip horses for war pur-
poses, and every time man buys
new set he competes against the gov
ernment in that line.
The speaker praised the farmer for
the service he has rendered thus far,
but he asked for greater service from
him because of the unusual prosperity
that has come to him. This prosperity
has resulted from tn esacrifice of
blood and lives across the sea. Our
farmers are in a better position to
help, and they should be more in
clined to help those who fight that
American freedom and American in
stitutions may not die.
IN concluding, Mr., Saunders stress
ed the great necessity for thrift, and
asked the people 70 invest those say
ings in stamps and certificates. fer
they appeal to the smaller inFes7or
and will help to fix habit on us that
will be most helpful in the years that
are not so successful as the resent.
The purchase of these little baby
bonds" is not a sacrifice it is an in
yestment, nothing more, said the
speaker, andspeaker, and one Of the
very best investments at that. Uncle
Sans guarantee has been thrown
around these certificates as safe
guard and protection. A man takes
no more chance in buying them than
he does in accepting the currency of.
the United States. Their value is
fxed-it does not luctuate they
bear interest, and they can be cashed
at any time upon ten days written
notice at any postofice In this
country.

lican gains in the average precinct in
the state would average perhaps higher
than 20 votes. over the election OF 1916
For hours the Republican leaders waited
for this increase percentage to shrink
but apparently it IS to hold UP to near
the end of the final count. Such an in.
crease in the Republican vote in each
precinct in the state will mean, unques-
tionably, a state plurality many thou
sands in excess of the $4,000 votes by
which the leaders still carefully claim
the state.
Reasons innumerable are being given
for the success. After sitting them all,
two remain glaringly before the pub
lie. One of them mas to do with the
Presidents eleventh hour appeal for
votes against the Republicans. That
soIidifed public sentiment in Indiana.

could get TO the polls and left the
Democrats lukewarm towards the cleo
ton. in the fond belief that Woodrow
Wilson and his written word were i'm
pregnable in America.
The other reason is that iabor-haited

Governor Goodrich. speaking from his
crutches on the balcony Of the SEVERN
Hotel election night 10 a group of jubil-
ant Republicans, phrased the same idea
carefully, when he pointed out that the
people had returned such a heavy Re-
publican vote because we nave kept the
faith with them" From now on. he
said. il should be the constant aim of
every Republican 10 so conduct himself
in office that the people, at the close of

Another very definite indicated result
of the widespread Republican victory in
