BAD ROAD ADVERTISING

Captain Brakeman Of the "Hattie
Mack" will testify that bad roads are
medium for advertising just as
forcible as good roads. The great
difference is the results obtained by
the communities possessing them.
The former brings bad reputation
with its attendant evils and the lat
ter establishes a community char
acter Of the highest order, which
means ever increasing prosperity and
development. This philosophy has
been proven sound by the experiences
Of the aforementioned captain the
past few weeks-especially that re-
garding the influence Of bad roads.
On account Of the impossible con-
dition Of that portion Of the state
highway between Gibson and Morgan
City, Captain Brakeman has been
doing flourishing business with his
barge the past few weeks transport
ing auto tourists between these two
points. This morning he unloaded
four cars here. He also has taken a
number of cars from here to Gibson.
Captain Brakeman says that most
Of the travellers are from points out
Of the state and were not acquainted
with this stretch Of road. Conse-
quently many Of them have had un-
pleasant as well as expensive expert
ences when they continued on from
Gibson by road instead Of by water,
as is being regularly done by those
who are wise to conditions.
According to the captain the words
used by these uninitiated tourists in
their opintion Of Louisiana in general
and this section Of the state in par
ticular, would not do for publication.
Most Of them declare they have made
their last trip to this part Of the state
until something is done to remedy
deplorable conditions.
The roadway section causing the
greatest trouble is tha (which the
parishes of St. Mary, Assumption,

After making q careful survey Of the
world sugar situation the O. S. Food
Administration has asked the Ameri-
can public to USE NO MORE THAN
TWO POUNDS OF SUGAR PER PER
son A MONTH until January l, 1919.
Increased sugar demands from the
Allied nations-where the present sug-
ar ration IS already reduced to the
lowest possible level-and the need Of
keeping our army and navy supplied
are two Of the leading causes of the
curtailment of Americas sugar ration.
Americans are requested to make
two pounds Of sugar per person (half
a pound a week. serve for all sugar
uses in the Notwithstanding cook
Ing and all sugar served at the table.
Public eating places, as well as
housewives, will be required to limit
their use Of sugar to two pounds for
every ninety meals served In the
G. S. Food Administration cafeteria
AZ Washington, where employees of the
Food Administration take their noon
meal, one pound Of sugar is used for
every 120 meals served
The Z. S. Food Administration Is
confident that the American public will
heartily agree to reduce household use
Of sugar here to a level more nearly
equal to the present restrictions
among the Allied nations.
The situation which the United
States faces in its efforts to maintain
a fair distribution Of sugar to the AL
lied world is as follows:

Gil that any deserter from the army
should be delivered at once to a mil,

partment or the Department Of JUS

case Of an army deserter, there is the

Exciting Incidents Which
Befell Red Cross
Nurse From New
Orleans
At An American Band Concert,
Members Almost Forgot To
Play Upon Seeing An
American Girl

New Orleans, La, Aug. 27.-Let.
ters from Miss Mary New man Miles
of New Orleans, now in France as a
Red Cross hospital aid, tell of adven-
lures such as fall to the lot of few
American girls Miss Miles letters
are to her sister, Miss Frances Miles
of 1925 General Pershing street, who
expects to go to France herself with
in a few months. Here are some Of
the things Miss Miles has seen or
! done:
Helped care for German soldier.
only fifteen years old and terribly
emaciated, whose leg had been shot
off.
Attended a concert by an Amer
lean band in Alecon, and the boys
were so glad at the sight of an Amer
lean girl that they "went Wild and
almost forgot to play.
Got up at midnight to rioe by truck
to Paris, going through ruined vii
lagos, poppy fields, along shaded
drive ways and through regions
strewn with barbed wire entangle-
ments.
Met Capt. Hewitt Johnston of
Biloxi, and found tnat lie knew many
of the same people she did.
Had tea with Miss Agatha Wexler
of New Orleans at her room in Paris,
and had ''the jolliest time"
Attended a musicale given by an
Algerian nurse and her singing teach
er, and played the piano for them
while the hostess "howled," the pro-
fesor scratched away on his violin
and six darked skinned Algerians,
with fezzes on their heads, nodded
and chanted, ooh, la! la" 1t was
bedlam, said Miss Miles.
| Took after dinner walks through
Paris and found the streets swarm
ing with uniforms and the people
very kindly disposed toward the Gin
| firmieres Americaines"
Was in Paris during an air raid
scare when all the guests at the hotel
at which she was staying rushed bare
legged and curlpapered to the salon.
Miss Miles was enrolled for foreign
service by the Bureau of Personnel
of the Gulf Division, American Red
Cross. Miss Agatha Wexler, who ac
companied her to France, has been
! assigned to research work in Bor-
deaux. Miss Miles was assigned first
to the hospital hut service, but be-
cause of her French'speaking ability
and her knowledge of elementary
nursing was transferred to hospital
work.

MUST USE LESS SUGAR.:
ALLIED NEEDS GROW
Americans Asked to Use No More Than
Two Pounds Per Person
Per Month.
Shortage May Last Until Beginning Of 1919,
II When New Sugar Crop Arrives.

The sugar supplies throughout the
country, in homes, stores, factories and
bakeries, are at low ebb; the produc-
tion from the American beet and
Louisiana cane crops have been disap-
pointing; the yield in Porto Rico has
likewise been smaller than anticipat-
ed, and the inability Of the United
States and the Allies to secure sugar
from Java and other distant sources
on account Of the imperative call for
ships for the movement Of troops and
their supplies has materially reduced
the supply from such quarters. Added
to this already difficult situation, the
quantity needed by the Army and
Navy greatly exceeds earlier esti-
mates; we must send large amount
Of the great volume lost through the
German and Austrian invasions, DUR
ing which much beet land was over
run and many factories destroyed; we
have to supply certain quantities to
neutral nations under agreements; and
finally over fifty million pounds were
lost recently through submarine sink
ings off our Atlantic coast.

Correction Follows After Their

"The publication in the Emergency

Chamber Of Commerce of Morgan
City.
"Will C. Harman, manager of the
Chamber of Commerce, declares that
the Union Bridge and Construction

the first Ferris type ship at its yard
on May 80, whereas the Bayou

Prospective Hotel Build
ers Will Revisit Morgan
City Soon TO Com
plete Plans
Representative States Company
Is Busy Placing Contracts
In Several Locations
Deemed Advantageous

A letter has been received by the
| Chamber of Commerce from a repre-
sentative of the hotel company who
was in Morgan City last month lay
ing plans and opening negotiations
for the erection of hotel here 1t
is the plan of the company, now a
corporation, to establish hostelries in
number of the important towns of
this section of the state. Morgan
City was the second city selected as
an advantageous point for their en-,
terprise Thibodeaux being the first.
Ground has already been purchased at
the latter city.
Immediately after the representa-
tive's visit here in July, special
committee from the Chamber of Com
merce submitted to the company a
set Of conditions which they believed
the community would accept as a
working basis for the erection of a
hotel. The proposition from Morgan
! City was:
First. Cost of building and site
not to exceed 100000 when COM
pleted and furnished.
Second. The hotel corporation or
hotel builder to supply not less than
one third of the capital required /;
local capital to supply not exceeding
one third of the required amount
the two amounts thus acquired to
furnish an equity for the securing of
the additional amount
Third All stock to be sold for not
less than par, and the charter to re-
quire vote of seventy-five per cent
of the stock to control
Fourth. Financial arrangements to
! be definite before contracts are let.
With the provisions as above set
forth by the committee, fully met, it
appears that the project will meet
with favor by local capital to the
extent that the money required local
ly, will be forthcoming.
In his letter the Chamber of Com
merece received yesterday, the rep
resentative states he has every rea-
son to believe satisfactory agree
ment can be made.
He says the company is very busy
| in Thibodeaux and elsewhere, getting
things in shape so that actual work
may be commenced in all the towns
at the same time, thus conserving
time, labor, contract conditions, etc.
As an additional reason he has not
returned to Morgan City before this,
the representative says he has been
waiting for letter notifying him of
the return of several business men
here who have been out Of the city.
The president and secretary of his
concern are also absent for a short
time, he reports. When all parties
on both sides have returned he prom
ises that some definite action will be
taken.
In connection with this project it
might be said that a report coming
from an authoritative source states
that this company will purchase a
