that he should fall just when the
fight was won.. He was taken
i'll last night and this morning
his condition was sufficiently
serious to require the services OF
a physician. A nurse will be as.
tsigned to the case tonight.
Many expressions of gratitude
and admiration have been heard
from all quarters concerning the
splendid service rendered by the
physicians of Morgan City dur
ing the crisis just passed. The
tasks confronting them each
day have been of herculean
proportions. Personal sacrifice
has been necessary to meet the
calls which have been made up
on these med. A daily record of
the work accomplished by any
one of these doctors during the
past two weeks would form an
almost unbelievable document to
any one except a member of the
physicians family. 1t would
show that super-human efforts,
with a minimum of rest, were
put forth without cessation. AS
has been amply proven their
services were given in every case
without thought of reward, pay,
or even remuneration for per-
sonal expense entailed. One doc
tor jokingly said this morning
that he had realized twenty dol
lars thus far since the start of
the epidemic which would fall
considerably short of his gaso-
line and chauffeur expense. He
said the only occasion he had to

get mad during the rush was
when people concerned in three
cases insisted upon him stating
a charge for his services so he
could be paid at once. He didn't
want their old money. He only
wanted them to concentrate
their minds on getting well. And
this spirit was typical of all the
doctors. Their record made dur
ing the days just passed will al
ways be remembered with graf
itude and appreciation.

than one.
Many Demands for Space.
In addition to the increase in &C
tual cost of production none bu,
those who prepare and edit the copy
know how many requests and de.
mands are made for space for the
publication of matter demanded by
the war. The newspapers have been
responding nobly to every call for
space for the promotion of patriotic
campaigns. This service is not rem
dered grudeingly, but gladly. Time.
money and energy beyond estima-
ton have been expended by every
patriotic newspaper in the contry to
help along with these different move
ments Though lacking possibly in
other good qualities our American
country press is not lacking in pa
trlotism, as the test of the war has
proven.
AS already noted, the newspaper
game under war conditions is a hard
one to play to bring financial returns,
bit there is an optimistic way to look
at the effect of the war on the country
weekl'es. Newspapers in general will
without doubt benefit in the long
run. For one thing there will be the
forced adoption of more business-like
methods in handling subscriptions
and advertising. Paid-in- advadce
subscription list will become the rule
instead Of the exception, as before
the war. The high cost of producing
newspaper, the conservation of
paper that the government requires,
and the zone system Of postage rele-
gate to the past the credit subscrip-
tion system, if the publisher would
have anything like a fair profit from
his business.
To make up for the depletion in
help the installation of modern ma
chinery will be made necessary, and
every paper which takes such a step
will be improved.

Louisiana Ranks 80 in
Amount Of War Stamp
Sales Since Start
Of Campaign
Committee Calls for Extra Eff
forts During Month of Octo-
ber and Sends Out New
Art Posters

The United States Treasury De-
partment announces that the total
sales of War Savings Stamps and
Thrift Stamps through postoffces
and Federal Reserve banks for Sep
tember, in Louisiana, amounted to
S1,310,865.55, or 70 cents per
capita, and the total sales from the
beginning of the campaign to Sep
tember 80 in Louisiana were S9.933,-
247.95, or $5.32 per capita. The
total sales in the entire United
States for September were S9O,552,-
1883, or sc cents per capita, and
the sales since the beginning of the
campaign s772,713,977, or 1874
per capita.
Louisiana is not doing as well as
the majority of the states. 1t is
thirty fourth on the list for the sales
In September, and thirty-eig for
the total sales from the beginning
of the campaign. The members of
the state committee are fearful that
our sales during October will not
be nearly as good as they should be,
on account of the influenza epidem-
lc, and it is hoped by the committee
that everyone will not only remem-
ber their pledges but that after they
haveI bought the stamps according
to their pledges, they will purchase
additional stamps between now and
October 81.
Posters calling attention to the
necessity of fulfilling War-Savings
pledges have been sent to all the
towns in the state, and it is hoped
hat the merchants, drug stores,
cigar stores, factories and other
places where posters can be display
ID will now substitute the Warsaw
ngs Stamp poster for the Liberty
Bond poster. These posters can be
obtained by writing the National
Var Savings Committee, No. 3O1

The price of War-Savings Stamps
Turing October is $4.21, and after
November l the price automatically

Country Newspapers Are

tFFOm publishers Auxiliary
There is no kind of business that
the war has not affected to a greater
or less extent, and the country news
! paper has by no means escaped. So
| hard have they been hit by the great
increase in the cost of both material
and labor that those not firmly estab-
lished or on unstable business found
tions have had to 'fall by the way
side" The survival of the fittest will
be the result Of the war testing. All
the time the problems brought about
! by war conditions are getting more
and more serious. To keep ahead of
the game will require more business
like methods than the average coun-
try editor has been wont to use.
Heretofore slipshod business habits
have been proverbial as belonging to
the smalltown editor, but we are
learning now in school of exper
fence and those of us who do not |
profit by the lessons will soon find
ourselves hunting job in some other
line.
Not only the country editor but
every newspaper publisher has been
harder "put to it" to make ends meet
since the war began than ever before.
Every item in the cost of production
has been greatly increased. We who
have had these things to face know
better than anybody can tell US how
hard it is to make the credit side of
the ledger balance with the debit side.
Labor and material have gone up
more rapidly and in greater proper
tion than the newspaper has been
able to advance the items of income.
Paper, ink, rollers, metal have more
han doubled in price; good printers !
are high-priced and hard to get. We
are not like the merchant who can
simply add more to his selling price.

BUILT BIG GUNS
10 BOMBARD PARIS

Paris, Aug. 2O.-Convinced that
their armies would reach the con-
fines of Paris in their last offensive.
the German commanders, says the
Petit Parisien, prepared special
siege artillery with which to render
the city untenable. The guns which
were to be used for this purpose had
never been fired anywhere except
on the testing grounds and even the
German soldiers were unaware Of
their existence. b
The largest were sixteen-inch cal
iber, with a flattened trajectory.
Each gun was about sixty feet long
and weighed 10 tons, the range be-
ing more than thirty miles and the
shells weighing 1900 pounds each.
Each shell was three feet long and
charged with seventy-five pounds Of
explosives.
The guns we're already mounted
on trucks awaiting the signal that
would send them to their newly pre-
pared positions. They were to have
been placed on concrete platforms
which could be built in from ten to
fifteen Gays. As Paris is shaped like
an eclipse, with the major axis seven
and a half miles long, the city would
have been an easy target.
It was intended to let the shells
fall in a haphazard manner with the
object of terrorizing the people.

DO NOT BELITTLE
AMERICAN ARMY

Amsterdam, Aug. 20.-Profession-
al soldiers like Generals Won Blume
and Won Liebert, unlike so many
other German war critics, do not
seek to belittle the significance of
the appearance Of the American
army on the west front.
. General Won Blume, who is on the
retired list, writes an article on the
subject which appears in the Rhein-
ische Westfalische Keitung of Es-
sen. He frankly admits that 1--WE
have to recognize that the Ameri-
cans, all in all, have done very smart
work and it would be very serious
thing Of the German army commend
had to face an American fighting
army of millions"
Almost Immediately after the ar
ticle appeared semi-officiol state
ment was issued to the effect that
the exaggerated reports going about
regarding the size Of the American
army in Europe merit no credence,
and only exist in Yankee magma
ton and Entente propaganda. The
statement said further that @the
tonnage question, which is already
acute, viii become still more serious
for the Entente when America has
70 ship her crops to Europe.
General Won Liebert, who was for-
mer German commandment at Lodz
and who now is military critic of the
Taegiische Rundschau Of Berlin,
tells the public that the American
army has actually become big fac
tor and the debarkations in France
are proceeding regularly. General
Won Liebert laments the moral per-
version" which brought the Ameri-
cans TO the front, and says. ssthe
French and British owe their recent
successes to their transatlantic aIly.
without whom their offensive would
have been doomed to disappoint-
ment.

nice things to eat.
Large crowds greeted them in
