Federal District Highway
Engineer Inspects Pro-
posed Link In M. c.
Houma Highway
He Declares 1t To Be A Project
Worthy of Government Aid
And Should Be Built AS
Quickly AS Possible

Houma, La, July 18.-Terre-
bonnie parish viii be crossed by fine
hard surfaced highway from east to
west, and the last remaining link in
the New Orleans Houston highway
will be completed as fast as money
and labor can accomplish it, if the
suggestions and the recommendation
of J. B. Fauntleroy, federal district
highway engineer, who, yesterday for
the first time, visited this section Of
the pareh and was taken over large
portion of the parish, are carried out.
Under the auspices of the Houma'
Terrebonne Association of Commerce
and at the suggestion of Duncan
Buie, slater highway engineer, Mr..
Fauntleroy came to Terrebonne to
inspect the field with the idea of
directing federal aid toward con-
structing the present highway con-
Meeting Raceland on the Bayou La
fourche and Morgan City.
After studying local conditions by
means of a tour of nearly $50 miles
over the excellent roads of this Sec
ton, Mr.. Fauntleroy declared that in
his opinion the highway should be
built as quickly as possible and that
it is project worthy of federal aid
in that its construction would mean
an immediate increase in food pro-
duction, as well as affording direct
communication with New Orleans for
the delivery of produce from this Sec
ton by motor truck.
At a meeting Wednesday night, a
representative gathering of members
of the association took action to start
preliminary work toward the con-
struction of the entire length of high
way in Terrebonne SO as to formally
apply for state and federal aid. They
also, as body, expressed the hope
that the proposed legislation planned
to increase highway revenues in this
state, will be passed by the legisla-
ture
Terrebonne residents are one in the
determination to connect this parish
with New Orleans and the west by
fine highway which will connect
every portion Of this parish with the
Crescent City without any unneces-
sary delay.

Louisiana Has Made Her
Usual Proud Record In
The New Sugar Dis
hibution System
Over 1000 Applications Have
Been Handled And The Ad-
ministratiOn Is Ready
For Renewals

Julv 20 marks the beginning of the
second round Of the new sugar dis
tribution system. Louisiana has
made her usual proud record. Som;
of the other states we're swarnped By
the rush early in the action and re-
sorted to the temporary experience
in the play for time. Louisiana Went
right ahead and handled over 1000
applications without a hitch, and is
| ready for the renewals. Jno. M
Parker, Food Administrator fol
| Louisiana, and J. M. Wilzin, Assist
ant Administrator, in charge of the
sugar division, increased the clerical
staff as the work expanded, and also
enlisted a number of volunteers, who
work harder than if pecuniary re-
ward was in sight.
The administration is very much
encouraged by the cooperation re-
ceived on every hand, and by the
spirit in which the new regulations
have been accepted; number of
certificate holders have coupled COM
plants with pleas for more sugar
than allotted, but their plight was
due largely to their own faulty re-
turns. The administration has no
other basis than their own figures
for guidance. On the other hand
there are gratifying number of
cases in which merchants have sent
back some of their certificates, stat
ing that they could get along with
less sugar, in view Of the govern
ment's appeal for conservation. A
number of city dealers have had
printed their own sugar cards for
the use of patrons, so as to keep
track of the frequency Of sales, and
refuse to sell to new patrons with
out proof that the limit is not being
exceeded. The Elizabeth Mercantile
Company Of st. Mary, interested in
chain Of stores, has displayed large
educational banners, bearing the leg
end: "On your honor. the govern
ment requests you not to use but
three pounds of sugar per person per
month in your family. Please do not
ask for sugar excepting in compll-
ance with the above" j. Allen Bar
nett, Food Administrator for the
Third District, says the act is typical
and that the entire district is solemn
ly behind the national plan and duty.
About the only hitcn that has oc-
Cured is in connection with sugar
permits for preserving purposes. The
government encourages preserving,
SO as to prevent fruits and vegetables

from gong to waste. Application
endorsed by the food officials entitl'
holders to purchase up to twenty fv'
pounds of sugar at time. With fig
plentiful and peaches pouring in
there has been a strong demand fol
sugar. Many Of the dealers, thrown
into early panic, have been rushing
requests for more sugar to replace
the sales. The Food Administration
has ruled that the allottments were
designed to meet normal require
ments, which include the ordinary
sales for preserving purposes, ano
that unless such sales greatly exceed
the normal no extra allowance is in
order. Ten per cent or over is the
proportion mentioned as emitting
dealers to seek extra quantity.
The Louisian sugar producers are
now being called upon to vote upon
an agreement reached that the United
States Food Administration govern
the handling of the oncoming sugar
crop. No price is fixed, but the max
imum is to be the price of reiners'
graduated. Plantation granulated
takes the same price, and other
grades fixed and to be fixed take
stated differentials, ranging from 10
cents to $1.20 per hundredweight.
Daily reports of production and
grades are to be made. The govern
ment is to direct efficient distribu-
ton, aid in securing transportation,
induce local refners to handle Louis
lana raws, and furnish other safe
guards. The maximum price is to
rule, the army and navy are to have
preference, but if beet or other sugar
sells above the maximum Louisiana
is open to the same privilege. The
deals for Cuban and bee: sugars are
to determine the Louisiana price.
The supposition is that Louisiana
raws will command about cents as
against $40 last season, although the
sugar control committee, headed by
Judge r. E. Milling, will continue to
present the special claims of the
Louisiana industry to higher price
so as to encourage it's preservation
as a national asset and insurance
policy. E. F. Dickson, leaving aside
the question Of patriotism, in re-
Spouse to which he said he was will
ing to give his sugar to the govern
ment, urged that justice entitled the
state to 8 cents for raws, and re-
signed froml the committee, which
favored leaving the states case en-
tlrely in the hands of the Food Ad-
ministration. which had proven it's
fairness. The industry is also work
ing out plan for the importation of
Mexican labor. Final reports are ex-
pected at the August meeting, when
the American Cane Growers will also
elect officers.
Flour is still the greatest war food
need, and none Of the flour rules have
been relaxed. With the bountiful
crop in sight it is expected that the
restriction will be slightly modified.
However, the Food Administration is
committed to the policy Of not only
sending abroad enough food for the
American forces and the allies, but
building up three-months' reserve
in the warehouse and cold storage ia
cilities being erected in France. In
the meantime, the American consum-
ers have been educated in the use of
substitutes. Many new enterprises
are based upon the manufacture Of
the other cereals into food prepare
lions, and the diet Of the people will
be permanently varied. as

PLAN SUBURBAN
LOAN. CAMPAIGN

Rich men who transact practically
all their business in New York city,
but own country places in Westchester
county, on Long Island or in New Jer-
sey will be asked during the coming
Liberty Loan drive to place at least a
part of their subscriptions through the
committees representing the communl-
ties in which their suburban homes
are located.
By so doing they will, it is argued,
help the Liberty Loan workers in the
outlying districts get their quotas and
thus stimulate interest in the cam
paign in large territory contiguous
to Greater New York
"While we recognize that for bank
ing reasons it is necessary for these
men to place the bulk of the Liberty
Loan subscriptions through New York
city banks" the chairman for one of
the outlying district committees ex
planned recently, there Is no doubt
that they could do much to give an i'm
petus to the campaign If they helped
the home town workers secure their
