Sleep Should Be Undisturbed.

People are beginning to realize that
sound sleep isn't obtainable in a bed
that rattles or squeaks or that shocks
the nerves into semi-wakefulness by
unusual slippings of the springs or I'M
expected creakings. The advent of the
separate bed and the banishing of the
double bed into the limbo of warming
pans and nightcaps is a distinct adj
vance from the standpoint of hygiene,
sanitation and more rational sleeping
habits. When separate beds, or, bet
ter still, separate sleeping chambers,
are in universal use, men and women
especially nervous men and women,
and delicate children, will get a good
deal more sleep than they do at pres
emf; they'll derive more benefit from
the sleep they do get. All this will
make it easier for them to do with con-
siderably less sleep than they now re-
uuire.

Waste of Human Material.

Any man who has been in the world
forty-five years or more should be a
valuable employee. , For man to be
shelved at forty-five is WRONG, very
wrong. For man to lose confidence
in himself because he is forty-five or
thereabouts is absurd.
The man who has been in the world
forty-five years has had a vast amount
of experience and has had the op-
portunity to observe much that could
be turned to good account. The trou-
BILE with us is that we do not know
where to take our goods ia market, or
at least we do not know the best mar
ket in which to dispose of our goods.
There is a great waste of human
material because of its displacement.
We give more attention to the
craftsmanship problem in relation to
goods than to the infinitely more i'm
portant subject of human MATERIAL

CROPS WORTH $1o,oooo,ooo

Thirteen principal farm crops in
this country in 1917 had value at
the farm of $1O,7OO,OOO, 900, accord
ing to estimate Of the United States
Department of Agriculture, or near
ly 1-2 times the value for the CEN
sus year 1909. This amount is about
four-fifths Of the value of all crops.
These crops include seven cereals,
flaxseed, potatoes, sweet potatoes,
tame hay, tobacco, and cotton lint.
Three states stand uot far in the
lead in their share of this great and
unprecedented total. Illinois is in
the front with value of S775,OO0,-
900 for these crops, Iowa is next
with $4,000, 900, and Texas is third
with $647,OO0,0OO.

have generously responded to the
appeals for increased production,

Peoples State & Savings
Bank Heavy Pmchas-
es Of Thrift Stamps

Morgan City, La, Jan. Fl, 1918.
Editor Review,
Morgan City, La.
Dear Sir:
In your Saturdays issue We note
you publish list of those making
I'D the ten thousand dollar subscrip-
ton of War-Savings Stamps. And
who even gave you the list eliminat-
ed the name of this bank from same.
While we did not subscribe one
thousand, we did subscribe five hun
dred dollars of thrift stamps for our
own use. Besides having bought a
quantity which we have on sale, and
sell daily, replenishing them from
time to time from the local postof-
flee. We feel that we have sub
scribed in proportion, as much as
any other institution in this city, and
think it justice, that some mention
should be made of this fact. We
only feel that we are doing our duty
but when this publicity" stunt Is
pulled, we also feel that we should
be in the pull, even if we have to do
it ourselves.
We assure you that this bank at
all times is ready to do its part Of
this work. Thanking you for this
space devoted hereto.
Yours very truly,
PEOPLES STATE & saw. BANK,

Chairman Shannon Of Local
Fuel Committee Finds Il
Necessary To Remind Sew
eral That 'Fuer' Is Not
Necessarily Coal

Throughout the nation today bus
mess, outside of few necessary OK
emptions, is either closed entirely or
running on a heatless basis. No bus
mess houses in Morgan City are
closed but all of them are running
without heat or artificial heat of any
kind. Mayor Shannon, member OF
the Parish Fuel Committee and
Chairman of Morgan City Fuel A3-
ministration, says that the fuel or
der is sweeping and applies to every
form of artificial heat. He found it
necessary this morning to call atten-
ton to about ten violators who were
apparently under the impression that
an oil stove or wood fire would be
permissible. Some who were in
doubt and who asked the Mayor for
advice were told that the order to
avoid burning fuel is literal and that
no deviations would be allowed.
Heat from oil, wood, gasoline or
electricity is banned today and for
nine more Mondays to follow consec-
utively. This order has been found
necessary by H. A. Garfield, chair
man of the National Fuel Committee.
In addition to the specified fuelless
Mondays, he orders all industries,
with few exceptions, to shut down
for five days beginning January
18th. The chaotic freight condi-
tons at railway terminals, the fuel
famine in homes throughout the
land, and the tieing up of ocean traf-
fic because Of lack of coal has JUS
titled the Government in their stag
gering coal order. At first, the
news Of the shutdown caused wave
Of alarm and CONSERVATION which
has now given way to a general ac-
ceptance of the move as not only the
necessary thing but the only thing
to do. The wisdom of the order has
become apparent during the first half
OF the five idle days which were
forced upon industries. The situa-
ton is rapidly clearing up, for the
first time in weeks coal is obtainable
in certain large cities for domestic
use. The conditions at the ports are
being rapidly relieved and it is now
assured that ships will be able to go
upon their delay journeys to Eu-
rope with food and supplies for Am
erican forces and American Allies.
That temporary hardships have been
felt in some localities by the Fuel
Order is regretfully true but that the
national profit from te measure is
much greater than the loss is also
apparent.

tural forces and the workers we'll de-
serve to be cited for commendation
But it is not the time to plan for
greater efforts this year, as Sccrc-
tary Houston recently pointed out.
In comparing the geographic di-
visions of the country with one ar
other for 1917, the great predomi-
nance of the North Central States is
conspicuous, and their production is
mostly human food and animal feed.
The twelve chief crops produced in
these States for cotton does not APP
pear, had value that is nearly one
half, or over 48 per cent, of the
value of the thirteen crops for the
whole country. OF this division, the
section west Of the Mississippi River
produced the greater value, or over
~ per cent of the nations total.
while the eastern section produced
ri per cent.
The entire South produced nearly
thiee-eighths Of the total value OF
the nations thirteen crops, or SO 1-2
per cent, and this fraction was divid-
ed among the three sections so that
the South Atlantic States produced
IA per cent, the South Central Sec
ton east Of the Mississippi River
9 IL per cent and the section west
Of that river Is per cent. The
smallest share Of the total value Of
the thirteen crops remains to- the
North Atlantic States and to West
e., States, z IL per cent each.
The relative standing of the var
ious divisions of States in value
Of chief crops be better under
stood when it is remembered that
the corn crop of 1917 has an esti-
mated value Of $4,O54,OOO,OoO, cot
ton lint $1,452, oo0, 900, hay $780,
100000, wheat $1,307, 100000, and
oats $1,061, 100000; and that the
North Central States enormously
produce corn, wheat, oats and hay,
and the Southern States cotton, with
strong support from corn, tobacco,
sweet potatoes, and rice.

are that when the stove arrives and
he has used it for a short time he
will realize that he has practiced false

pay a dollar or two more to his home

The patron Of the mail order house.
also, often fails to take the matter Of
transportation charges into considera-
ton when making his purchase. He
sees only the price Of the article as
listed in the mail order catalogue and
does not think Of the expression freight
charges, which with the cost Of
money order and postage often make
the total cost of the article greater
than the price Mt which the same thing
could have been purchased at the local
store. Another case Of false economy.
Buying merchandise of poor quality
because the price Is low Is often false

idea Is Exploded.
The idea that the mail order houses
sell the same quality Of goods at lower
prices than the home merchants Is
quickly exploded when one learns Of
the large profits that are made by the
majority of the mail order houses and
the large selling expense to which they
are subjected. The large mail order
houses spend hundreds Of thousands
of dollars annually for advertising and
the selling expenses Of the smaller
concerns are prOpOrtionately as large.
Their other expenses, such as rent.
taxes and labor, are also higher than
those of the local retail merchants, in
proportion to the business which they
do. In spite of these heavy expenses,
the mail order houses distribute mil
lions of dollars in dividends among
their stockholders. In one large mail

holders, in cash and stock dividends.

cent on the capital invested in the
short period of nine years. This does
not indicate that the mail order houses
are in business for their health and
are giving away merchandise to their
customers.
The mail order houses have CAPT
talized the desire to econOmize that is
inherent in almost every one. BY plac
ing price above quality and making
cheapness the Fundamental element in
their business they have inculcated in
the minds of their patrons the idea

FALSE ECONOMY
HAS NO Value
Buying Cheap Goods Just Be-

Not Pay.
QUALITY OFTEN OVERLOOKED
Instance Seen In Case Of Mail Order
Houses Which Make Their Ap-
peal Solely on Basis Of
Price.

Economy is one Of the greatest Of
virtues but false economy is no more
a virtue than anything else that Is
false. To be able to economize wisely
is one of the greatest blessings that
one can have. for 1t Is the prerequisite
to thrift and well-being. Too many
persons, however, who think they have
found the secret of true economy are
practicing a false economy which Is
worse than wilful waste.
For instance, the man who buys a
stove from a mail order house for 50
because he thinks he would have to
pay SO for one II he purchased it
from his home merchant, Is practicing
q false economy, for the chances are
that he would save more than 81 in
the end II he purchased the $40 stove
from the local hardware leader.
There are several reasons why this
is false economy. The first one is that
dollar for dollar, the greater part Of
the merchandise sold by the mail or
der houses is of less value than that
sold by the retail merchants of the
smaller communities. The mail order
business, as a whole is built upon
cheapness. In order to attract GUS
toners the catalogue houses must sell
goods cheaply and in order to do that
they must sell cheap goods. Their
business is built up on price and enot
on quality. The retail hardware deal
er, like retail dealers in other lines,
probably can match the prices Of the
mail order houses. He probably has
50 stove which he can sell to the
man who wants to get stove for 80.
The trouble is that the man who buys
from the mail order house does not
distinguish between price and quality.
Thinks He Is Economizing.
The man who buys the 50 stove
from the mail order house probably
would not buy 50 stove from his
local merchant for in the latter case
he would see just what he was buying
and might realize that the 50 stove
would not meet his needs. He orders
a 80 stove from the mail order house,
however. just because the price is 50
80 ~~A hncanSa he has anv assurance
