Phone 81 for Red Cross
Information

All calls for Red Cross help must
be made to Phone ST. The public is
requested to make calls for nurses,
medicine, fuel, clothing, food or for
any other purpose connected with
the Red Cross to Phone 81.
Do not call the Red Cross chair
man for any purpose connected with
relief work. Phone 81 will get you
what you want and it is the only
way you can get the relief.
People who need influenza masks
IN their work can get them by call
ing 81, or by coming to the office Of
the Morgan City Realty & Insurance
Agency in the Bank of Morgan City
building.
Help to spread this information to
every home in the community. When
every person understands that sick
calls must be made to Phone 81, it
will increase the efficiency of the
Red Cross relief work. ANY other
method of asking for relief will
probably be uncertain.

1t doesn't matter-we are winning
every day and in a few months the
war will be over. I am having a
great time and do not regret for one
moment that | came. My greatest
desire is to help the men and do a
little for my country. If it costs my
life that will be but small matter
compared to the splendid privilege
God has given to me of doing some
thing worth while.
Haven't had letter from any of
you yet, but that is not unusual. 1t
will be week or two before my mail
comes. But you must write often as
you can. Send me an occasional COPY
of the Times -Picayune or some other
New Orleans paper. We seldom see
papers here or know what is going
en- in the world.
Love to all.

She Also Serves
BY Katherine Hockin.

One of our American canteen
workers has been slightly annoyed
by having her "Y" hut demolished
by the Boche shells four times. Stu.
ated somewhere in France her little
nut was on the outskirts of the firing
line when our American boys re-
turned from their first coutner at
tack and they were made happy by
being served hot chocolate, bread and
jam by the first American woman
many of them had seen in eight
months.
Later there was a concert given
by selection of the best musicians
and singers chosen from American,
French and British soldiers who had
gathered at this point from miles
around, when there camea sudden
call to arms; and off they ran into
the darkness, leaving behind them
haunting echoes and the lone canteen
worker, who realized anew that after
all there was so little that a woman
could give by comparison, except just
to stand by ready to serve and love
them on their return.

No Excuse for Lack Of

wood, and there can be no excuse

although coal production will be
greater thar ever BEFORE" the warm
ing continues, cit still will fall short
about 80,OOO,0O0 TONS" This short
age must be made up through con-
servation; there is no surer way of
saving conl than by burning wood.
The fuel question is a timely and
pressing one. Now is the time to cut
wood; even with other essential work
there are a number of days at this
season which can be used in getting
out wood fuel.
Repeated warnings have gone out
that there is fuel shortage to face
and with the experience of last win
ter's inadequate coal supply, early
and effective measures should be
taken. Cannot this be foreseen by
community leaders? Action is called
for now. Committees should be
formed at once in every community
to ascertain fuel needs and to see
that wood is supplied at fair and
reasnable prices. In incorporated
towns where other means of distri-
button are not available or where
there is disposition on the part of
dealers to exact exhorbitant prices"

Fire Proclamation By The
AGovernor

The nations annual fire loss o
approximately Two Hundred an
Fifty Million Dollars is nearly equiv
alent to the interest upon Six Billion
dollars worth of Liberty Bonds.
1t thus 1hpairs Americas finan
cial resoures at a time when wa
conditions call for the utmost re
trenchment and thrift.
Fire causes enormous direct des
truction of grain and other food
stuffs in shortage, as well as of cot
ton, lumber and e large variety Of
other war supplies.
Fire cripples productive industry
engaged upon war orders to fal
greater extent than is generally real
lied. While causing a vast impair
ment in Americas fighting efficiency
fire loss is, in the main, unnecessary
Through the adoption of proper pre-
ventive measures and particularly
through the cultivation of habits of
carefulness, it could be greatly de-
creased. Fire prevention, therefore,
becomes the patriotic duty of every
citizen.
The cooperation Of newspapers,
churches, civic bodies, and particular
ly of school systems, will contribute
powerfully to this end At many
points, fire prevention education has
become well-recognized feature in
school work.
Considering the foregoing facts,
and the universal custom throughout
the United States of fixing an An
nual Fire Prevention day, I, RIG.
Pleasant, Governor of the State of
Louisiana, do hereby name saturday,
November End, 1918, as Fire Pre-
vention day in the State of Louis
lana, and call upon all interested or
ganizations and citizens to observe
same.
In faith whereof, I hereunto set

The amount to be used for the

R. Mott says that it should be over
subscribed so per cent, or another
drive must be held in the spring. And
the drive must not be diminished by
any possible peace talk, or even the
coming of actual peace; for in that
event it will take several years to
demobilize the army; and it is dur.
