Census Being Taken Now
VIII Be Used As A Per-
nanept Record For The
Parish Council Of Defense

! Wilbur H. Kramer, parish chair
man of St. Mary; division chairman
of St. Mary, St. Martin, St. Landry,
Evangeline, iberia, Lafayette, Yer
million and Acadia parishes; clerk Of
court for his parish, decided that he
was going to save great deal of
labor by doing a great deal of it at
one time.
He said: every time they made
campaign in St. Mary, the parish
chairman had to get large force of
assistants, hunt through the records
of the sheriff, assessor and school
board, the poll tax and registration
lists, telephone and city directories,
the various industries and any other
source of information conceivable,
and when they had completed the
list, it was incomplete and as soon as
the campaign was over they lost their
records and the work had to be done
, all over again for the next cam
paign."
Mr.. Kramer proposes to get cor
rect list during the coming week by
taking a census and making perma-
nent record Of it.
The census card, which has been
designed and printed, answers every
question about an individual that ap-
pears necessary and will enable every
War Service Campaign conductor to
compile lists for almost any purpose,
even going so far as to be of assist
ance to the Council of Defense in
keeping track of labor.
The cards are printed in two colors,
white for whites and colored for
negroes, so that they may be sepa-
rated with little effort.
In order to get the idea of a cen
sus, before the people in an official
and impressive form, the Parish
Council of Defense was called upon
lOA dSSloI0ASCt anu oonVu W ACNuCSt
the Police Jury and every city and
town council to pass ordinances call
ing upon the people to assist in the
census taking, which was done on
June 5. In the meantime a large r.e-
scriptive poster was posted all over
the parish.
A form entitled the Council of
National Defense, War Savings Cam
paign Service Enlistment Card was
printed and circulated by various
committees, calling for volunteers to
aid in this campaign and hundreds
have already signed the card:
The wards and precincts have
been subdivided so that the territory
that any committee makes will not be
large, but that committee is given
census cares and required to fill them
out completely, a card for the head

territory. Omit no one, the census
will not be a success if it is not COM
plete, and to make sure of it's COM
pleteness and correctness. the solic-
itor is required to sign his name to
the card.
During the week, June 1916, two
young ladies and boy scout, under
the supervision of the Ladies Coun-
Gil of Defense, will be in each place
of business in St. Mary parish frora
the time the store opens until it closes
and they will solicit every individual

but whether they sell the individual
or not. they will have explained the
War Saving Stamp Campaign and will
have done a great deal of good in an

have already pledged their services

Every merchant in St. Mary parish
has already pledged himself to talk
War Savings during the week to his
customers before he sells goods
BY the end of the week the census
will have been taken The cards win
be then subdivided into the smallest
units and arranged in alphabetical
order. typewriter lists placed in the
hands of committees.
When this work has been completed

making this recommendation that it
considers gravel far superior to she'll
as road-surfacing material, but, that
when considering availability and
comparative price Of the two ma
terials at this time, it unhesitatingly
turns to shell for immediate surfac-
ing, knowing that at later date the
shell, with the application of top
layer Of gravel, may be made equal to
an all-gravel road, and that, in the
meantime, the communities and the
nation may have the advantage Of a
cheap and thoroughly useful she'll
road.
The Terrebonne Assumption St.
Mary Good Roads Association was
organizedsat Morgan City ut the in
stigation of a delegation from the
Terrebonne Association of Com
merce Of Houma. This delegation
travelled from Houma to Morgan City
on S. P. Train No. 5 because the
present connecting highway is i'm
passable for automobiles. The con-
solidation Of the Terrcbonnc delega-
tion from Assumption parish and the
Morgan City-Berwick Chamber of
Commerce resulted in the permanent
organization of this Good Roads AS
sociation. To secure the support of
the Honorable Police Juries Of the
three parishes, this association de-
sires to cite, as an evidence Of its
good faith and earnestness, the fact
that it proposes to take an active
part in the proposed road construc-
ton by assuming the responsibility
of securing the light-of-wayi sur
veying, grading and surfacing the
proposed cutoff or short cut Of the
Spanish Trail, beginning at the
Chene Bridge and following the pre-
sent course to Bayou Caroline, thence
along the Bayou in direct line con-
Meeting with the precent highway at
point near Gibson, a distance of
about four and one-half miles, which
will make the direct route six miles
shorter than the present route; and
this Association proposes to accom-
plish this undertaking by public
subscription, thus relieving the Police
Juries of the three parishes of any
burden in the matter. AS evidence
of their forward spirit, we mention
that already $4,000 in cash has been
subscribed by members Of this A.
sociation to pay the costs of sur
vey and clearing.
Because of its sincerity of pur-
pose and undoubted belief that such
road work as hereinbefore set forth
is of greatest economic and military
value to the nation at War and to the
communities which you so ably re-
present, this Association urges that
you give prompt and full considera-
ton to this matter as respectfully
submitted to you.

per cent of all sickness comes from In

the liver and bowels, which he gave to
his patients for years.

Edith she was "needlessly exercised
over the matter" Cleary would not
dare, ETC., etc. Edith left, furious.
Another hour of effort among the
Arcadians increased her anger, her
sense of justice outraged. They were
obdurate without exception. She re-
turned to the inn with blazing eyes.
Cleary looked at her laconically. He
too, was in no pleasant frame of mind.
Didn't work, eh?" he grunted.
"Well, didn't expect it would

THE ulTlMATUM.

AS late as the morning of the house
warming at Arcadia Inn, the anair
promised to be anything but a warm
ing.
II was hoping I'd be wrong. Mrs.
Ferrol," Cleary said, when Edith came
down to the inn that morning. But
only four people besides you and your
husband said they'd come tonight And
here's me with an orchestra OF i've
pieces, refreshments for hundred
people and a slap in the face from the
Arcadians for my pains!'
Edith pressed her lips together. She
had staked her pride on her conVic-
ton that she could get the Arcadians
to come to the housewarmfng. Be-
cause of her conviction Cleary prepar-
ed for a large attendance. But the
loss to him in money was less import
ant than the effect the failure or re-
Spouse would have on Cleary's con-
duct of the inn.
But her experience in prevailing
over the combined will of the snob-
bish little community in the matter
of the Fenns gave Edith determine
ton and daring she never dreamed
she possessed.
I'm going on a hunt for accept
ances, Mr.. Cleary," she said grimly
And I'm going to get them or-Ar-
cadia will have cause to feel sorry!'
Cleary looked at her with gloomy
pride
Say, If the rest of them was like
you, Mrs Ferrol, I'd have no kick
coming, But we've wasted enough
on this house-warming and there's nc
81 have not given up. I'll go down
and see about the ices and the cakes
and the rest of the refreshments just
as if l had the acceptances in my
hands And I'll have them!"
Cleary again shook his head. When
she had left his disappointment turn
ed to resentment. He walked up and
down the inn porch, brooding ovel
his insult. Edith, looking back, saw
him pace the porch and rightly read
his mind.
She went first to the minister OF
the little church in Arcadia and put
the situation to him.
Here is man eager to conduct his
inn on decent lines she said earnest
ly, "yet the people are doing their best
to discourage him. He is entitled to
our moral support when he is trying
to do his best for us. Won't you use
your influence, DR.. Madding, to get
the people to come to the house-warm
ing tonight?"
But Doctor Madding exceedingly re-
GREETED etc.
you must realize, Mrs. Ferrol, that
for a minister to concern himself with
a function given by hotel-keeper is
to court criticism. 1t Is going outside
my province"
Edith interrupted with touch of
asperity.
rs it going outside your province
to see that Arcadia Inn Is conducted
as family stopping place instead of
as rendezvous for a fast set?" she
demanded. Because if the Arcadians
don't come, Mr., Cleary will feel that
