ANSE LA BUTTE OIL
FIELDS ARE RICH

AS result of examination of the
Anse La Butte Oil fields, several
capitalists have resolved to invest
heavily in the development of local
fields, and no effort will leave un-
tried to bring in some fine producing
wells. Indications are very strong
for guzhers and every resource will
be used to give the. field thorough
test. The prospectors have abun-
dant faith in development of the
field and feel confident of rich re-
suits.

by the reporter he said he was very
much pleased that he had come and
that he was well impressed with the
possibilities Of the further develop

Here Tuesday
State Director Saunders Will
Address Citizens and Up
per School Grades at City
Hall at 10 O'clock A. N.

Hon. p. H. Saunders, State Direc-
tor OF War Savings, advised Local
Chairman J. P. Hebert that ne has
arranged for meeting in Morgan
City Tuesday in order to explain to
the Local War Savings Committee,
the citizens and the school children
of the upper grades the workings OF
the Thrift Stamp and Savings Ger
tificates movement. A meeting will
be held at the City Hall here at 10
o'clock in the morning of that day.
Chairman Hebert has gone to Frank
lin, La, to ask the cooperation Of
Parish School Superintendent Colt
and to secure his permission for the
attendance of the students at the
Tuesday meeting. Parish Thrift
Chairman Kramer and others from
Franklin will also be in attendance.
The reports coming from the diff
feren1 Thrift Committees appointed
'bv Chairman Kramer throughout the
Parish show that in some localities
the Thrift idea has not yet been
taken up. In order to make the
Thrift cause more generally under
stood and appreciated, the State Di-
rector and his Assistants are making
a visit to all communities with their
explanatory lectures. Several places
in St. Mary will be visited by the
speakers during the coming week and
the Thrift movement will then be
better understood and more heartily
supported.
The Thrift Committee Of Morgan
City is expected to meet the Hon
Mr.. Saunders upon his arrival.

rellow's living, he is bound evenrualty
to cut off his own. for unless the other
fellow has money to buy his labor or
his goods he cannot make living
himself.
You may say that what You buy
doesn't amount to much and the money
that you send away to the mail order
houses in other cities can not have any
great effect upon the general business
conditions in your town. Maybe 1t
doesn't amount to much and maybe it
won't have any great effect upon the
community's prosperity in itself, but
what will be the result If every person
In the community. or half of them. or
a tenth of them. take the same view
of the matter. Your business. in it
self, may not amount to much, but
taken together with the business of a
hundred others in the community, ii
amounts to 4 great deal. 1t amounts
10 the difference between prosper
ous community and Il dead one. II
amounts to the difference, IN the end,
between good times and bad times for
Yourself and your own family. # You
lived on Il desert isle, it would max"
no difference whore you sent Enur
money, because it would make no diff
ference whether you had any money ut
all or not. But you are not living upon
q desert isle. You are living in II
modern community. To do everything
possible to build up that community Is
not only duty which you owe to the
community. but-more important still
it is duty which you owe to Your
self.
Taxes Will Increase.
You have children to educate. You
want your community to have good
schools so that your children may have
the same advantages that the children
in the big city have. If you live on
farm you need good roads over which
to haul your products to market. You
may say that you pay your share OF
the taxes out Of which the school
houses are built and the roads con-
structed. Maybe you do pay your share.
in proportion to the value OF your
worlds goods, but where is the other
fellow to get the money to pay his
share Of the taxes If, after you pay
your taxes, you send the remainder of
your money to some other community
to help build their schools and con-
struct their roads,, The merchants OF
any community pay very consider
able part Of the taxes collected in that
community. Go to the tax books and
you will find this tc be the case. When
the business Of the merchant falls of
and he carries smaller stocks and has
less money in the bank. he pays small
er taxes, and as the amount he pays
in taxes decreases, the amount you
pay must increase If the schools are
to be maintained and the roads kept
up. It may be mans own business If
he wants to send his money to help
build up the big cities where the mail
order houses flourish, but it's poor
business for himself as we'll as for
everybody else in the community in
which hc lives.

No Man, Under Modern Condi-
tons, Can Live Entirely
Unto Himself.
EACH DEPENDENT ON OTHERS
Citizen Who Does Mot Aid In Building
Up Community Can Not Expect
TO Have Prosperity
Himself.
(COp-rig ht.)


there was time in the world Whon
4 man could do pretty much as he
pleased What one man did was OF
little concern to anyone else, for ii had
little effect on anyone else. Those
days are gone, however, and they
never will return. Today, no man can
live entirely unto himself. Life is a
complicated affair under modern con-
ditions. No one nan III any comlnun-
ity is entirely independent of all others
In that community.
Organized society, in the form Of
governments. national, state and local.
have recognized the new conditions
and have decreed that every man must
observe certain rules in his relations
with his fellow men. He must not do
certain things that would endansef tie
health OF other people in his conlmun-
ity. He must not do such things as
would disturb the peace and quiet or
his neighborhood. He must remember
that he owes a duty to his community.
Not Question Of Right.
A man may say that he has the right
to spend his money where he pleases;
that no one can stop him If he wants
to buy his groceries, his clothes and
his furniture In some city miles away
from where he earns the money to pay
for them. He Is right. There Is no
law to prevent him from doing so. un-
less 1t is the law Of self-preservation.
The man who has the right to send his
money away to some distant city in
stead Of spending 1t at home. also has
the right to send his children to that
city to be educated In the schools,
which his money helps to support. but
he doesn't exercise that right. He
sends his children to the local schools.

sible by the men who spend their
money at home.
Life in any community today is q
give-and-take proposition. A man can
not take everything and give nothing
and get away with it for any great
length Of time. He can not take his
living from a community and give
nothing back to help the other fellow
