WORK OR Fu-HT !!

The war slogan, WORK DE lsne'
originated sometime ago by Provost
Marshal General Crowder, seems to
have taken deep root in the hearts as
well as in the minds Of the American
people, as evidenced by the laws and
resolutions intended to discourage
idleness adopted by legislatures and
war bodies throughout the country.
The Louisiana general assembly,
at it's regular biennial session which
closed last July, adopted an act
which it is believed will have the
very good effect Of encouraging those
who might be otherwise disposed, to
devote some of their time to useful
occupation during the continuance OF
the war. This act known as the
"Vagrancy Act" requires that all
able-bodied men between the ages OF
eighteen and fifty years, inclusive,
shall be regularly engaged in some
lawful, useful and recognized busl-
ness, occupation or employment, and
provides a penalty Of fine and inn
prisonment for the violation OF its
provisions.
The Ascension Council Of Defense,
at its meeting last week adopted g
resolution approving and enforcing
the said act III this parish, and in or
der to give fair warning to profess
sional idlers and gentlemen of leis-
ure, caused to be printed and posted
throughout the parish, notices of the
adoption of the law, its requirements
and the penalty which will be in
Cured in it's violation.
It seems that there are a large
number of able-bodied men in this
parish Of Ascension in
cluded-who are fully capable of do
ing something in aid of the great
world war, who manage to live in
idleness, or who waste away their
time at useless and essential oc-
equations, paying no heed to then
country's need in the great conflict
in which we are engaged and it is tc
reach this class of men that the laws
and resolution in question are called
into existence.
The war is being fought for all
Americans alike, and every citizen OF
these great United States. be he old
young, rich or poor, should be willing
to do everything in his power to
bring the war to a speedy and victori-
Gus conclusion. hose who cannot
fight should be willing to do some
kind Of work to help Wn the war and
those who are able Ind refuse tc
work should be forced to do so.
There is no lack Of work at the
present time in this section. On the
contrary, there is a scarcity Of labor
and the demand for farm labor es.
pecially far exceeds the supply, and
any man who is willing to work car
secure steady employment on the
farms and plantations at wages fan
in excess Of those paid in past years

CRAB 1000 PIN1S
Immense Amount of Liquor
"Captured" in Topeka.
Sheriff's Force Has Been Most
Active Recently.
CONFISCATE THE AUTOMOBILES
Officers Have Cars Used in
Transportation From X. c.
Sheriff Also Rounds Up Persons
Who Have Slips"

More than 1000 pints of whisky
which would be valued on the retail
market in Topeka at about $4,000,
have been confiscated by Hugh Lari-
mer, sheriff, and members of his
force, in the last thirty days in one
of the most intensive drives on To-
peka bootleggers in several years. The
liquor is in addition to that captured
by the police. 1t is at present stored
in the wet room" at the court house
to be used as evidence in the prose-
cution of those who had it on their
person when it was seized. After serv-
ing for this purpose, it will be dumped
into a sewer or otherwise destroyed.
Larimer's drive on the Illegal liquor
traffic, combined with the strenuous
campaign being waged by the police,
has made the city, it is believed, as
near a desert as it ever has been
in the past. "A large amount of the
liquor seized was captured while boot
leggers were trying to bring it into
the city in motor cars from Kansas
City. Other portions of it were con-
fiscated in raids, or taken from the
grips of Topekans returning from Kan
sas City. In addition to the liquor
several motor cars. used in the trans
portation of the contraband, were cor
fiscated.
Probe Every Tip.
Every tip that comes into the
county attorneys or sheriff's office has
been fully Investigated in the raid.
Persons who make bold" statements
about the lack of enforcement of the
law here, and permit such statements
to reach official ears, are promptly
hauled into inquisition to give evil
dence If they have any. Late Friday
evening j. w. Cook, a shoemaker at
624 West Sixth street, without know
ing to whom he was talking offered
considerable criticism to Robert Miller,
undersheriff. about the way the liquor
laws are enforced.

This is his first attempt. in the

find himself in faster company than
ever before. Those who are acquaint-

can do in tournament play have no
fear that he will fail to make good.
By close observers of the game he Is
doped as a possible winner of the
tourney. While it is true that he has
many formidable opponents. such as
Harry Legg, Joe Manion, ]. G.. Nj

demonstrated that he is. at his best in

contender.
So his fellow golfers of the Shawnee

Rumors concerning the closing of
the Rock Island depot in Topeka and
the handling of the business thru the
Union Pacific depot in North Topeka
are unverified today. Such step, if
taken, would mean n saving of both
coal and mileage. inasmuch as trains
would no longer be backed in to the
Rock Island depot blu. would all stop
at the Union Pacific depot, to which
place the Rock Island ticket force
would be moved. 1t is believed that
this would eventually lead to a much
larger and fine- depot for the two rail-
roads on the site of the old Union Pa
ciffc depot instead of the new $780,
600 depot which was originally
planned by that company
