The Boys Governor

Don't forget for a moment
that the soldier boys Of Mime
sofa are keeping a keen eye on
the trend of. politics in this state.
The lads in kahki know what
men are standing back of them,
and they also know the men who
are giving solace to the enemy
by preaching strife, discord and
discomfort at this time when all
people and all classes should be
united as never before to make
war vigorously and victorious
ly.
Judging by hundreds and
thousands of letters received by
the friends of boys at the front
and in the training camps, the
soldiers who have gone forth
from this state want to see
Governor J. A. A. Burnquist re-
elected. They know that the
Governor has withstood the fire
of every malcontent and sedi-
ZIONIST in the state; they know
that the Governor has sood four
square against all the winds of
disloyalty; they know that the
Governor has proved by word
and deed that he is an American,
and has fearlessly stood by his
guns. AS the soldiers have been
fighting the enemy abroad, so
has Governor Burnquist fought
the enemy at home. The Gov
ernor that the soldiers want is
also the Governor that the 10y
al Minnesotans want and loyal
lists of all parties are going to
vote for him on November 5.

There's no peace and little rest for

Low WATER IN BAYOU.
Levee Boards Not Maintaining Six
Foot Depth Required by Law.

The levee boards are not keeping
six feet of water IN Bayou Lafourche,
as the law requires and as was expect
ed when the dam was built at Donald
sonville. Considerable expense was IN
aurred to supply the stream with wa
ter, particularly fresh water, and
hundreds of thousands of dollars We're
spent for pumping plants and for
canals. It has been limited that pos
sibly the Cancienne canal would not
be dredged# and would not. be made
nau,igah f. N Is IS shosll "a be a
fact, fter all tIte money that has
been spent on this stream, taxpayers s
money, it would BE nothing short of q
calamity and crime at this time OF
aIl times, when water facilities and
TRANSPORTATION are needed.
We trust the levee boards will keep
up the Cancienne canal, not only
dredge it out, but make it useful and
possible for navigation, as it would
serve great purpose and answer the
public demand to a greater extent
than we presently dream possible.
It is to be expected the same in
terests SO solicitous about making Ba-
YOU Lafourche as non-navigable as
possible will oppose any Improvement
to Cancienne canal which would rem
der it serviceable as an artery for
commerce .-Thibodaux Commercial

STRICT ECONOMY URGED.
american People Must Abandon
ELuxuries During Period of Wsr.

A fervent appeal to the people of
Louisiana and Mississippi to conserve
both labor and materials in order to
assist in the support of the nations
armies in the field and to provide theW
with the necessary equipment, has
been issued by 2. H. Saunders and j.
7. Thomas, state directors of the Ma
tional War Savings Committee. The
appeal is as follows:
''The war savings campaign is the
most effective means of impressing the
citizens of this country with the fact
that we cannot support a vast army in
the field and a great navy at sea and
at the same time spend the same
amount of money we used to spend
before the war for things which may
be perfectly proper to buy in times
of peace but which are not necessary
to the carrying on of the great war
we are now fighting.
''It is desired to impress upon the
American people that every citizen
must get behind the government,
which is devoting it's entire energies
to waging great warfare for free
dom. This warfare requires putting
men in the field and keeping them
fed and clothed. 1t requires pro-
duction of ships and shells, guns and
rifles, motor trucks, saddlery, aero
planes, hospital supplies, food, and a
great variety of goods, the output of
which calls for vast industrial plants
from one end of the country to the
other, manned by millions of men
and women, who serve their country
as effectively as our soldiers and
sailors.
eff the American people require
all the pleasant and comfortable
11xuries which they consumed before
the war. they are making it necessary
for other factories and shops, also
employing millions Of men and wo-
men, to produce articles which do not
help to bring peace, when they might
he devoting themselves to the pro
duction Of the necessary things which
will help to win the war.
