Dor has been eminently fair and
that our acceptance of that atti-
tude has been reflected in the
work we have done here, the

Morgan City is so located that
it places the workmen in pleas

account of it's adjacence to the

BUY WAR STAMPS WITH YOUR
INTEREST.

September Is, q Liberty Bond holder
can be both a good sport and u patriot
if he will buy War savings or thrift
stamps with the interest he will re-
ceive on his bond at that time. Here
is a chance to make your interest
bear interest and at the same time
permit the government to use the mill
lions of bond interest money that
otherwise will probably be spent for
things less worth while. Your interest
perhaps will not amount to much, but
the aggregate interest payments, if
reinvested in war savings stamps, will
equip another army corps in France,
build a fleet of U-boat chasers, or pay
for enough bombs to blow hades out
of the kaiser's cohorts, both in and
out of Germany.
100000 WORTH YET TO SELL
The news from across the water is
mighty encouraging, but the German
army is not defeated yet. 1t will re-
quire the sale of a lot more war saw
ings stamps and Liberty Bonds to-
bring that about. Don't let's be over
sanguine, but rather get busy selling
stamps to those who have not yet
bought their share, for that balance Of
100000 worth North Dakota has yet
to buy to make up her quota will help
a lot to keep the kaiser's men moving
eastward-when the money is in
Uncle Sans pocket. Sell, sell, sell,
and drive the enemy back to-well,
well, well!

PRESIDENT WILSON ON THRIFT

I'm the sense in which we have
been wont to think Of armies there
are no armies in this struggle; there
are entire nations armed. Thus the
men who remain to till the soil and
man the factories are no less Z part
Of the army that II in France than
the men beneath the battle flags. It
must be SO with VI. 1t is not an army
that we must shape and train for war;
It is a nation. To this end our people
must draw close In one compact front
against a common fos. But this can
not be 1: each man pursues q private
purpose. All must pursue one pur-
pose. The nation needs all men, but
1t needs each man, not in the field
that will most pleasure him but in
the endeavor that will best serve the
common good"

Very Simple

Every little while We read in
the paper that someone has run a
rusty nail in his foot OF other por-
ton of his body, and that lockjaw
resulted therefrom and the patient
died. Ifevery person were aware OF
a perfect remedy for such wound
and would apply it, then such re-
ports would cease. The remedy is
simple, always at hand, can be ap-
piled by anyone-what is better,
it is infallible. It is simply to
smoke the wound or any wound
that is bruised or inf1amed. with
woolen cloth. Twenty minutes
in the smoke will take the pain
out of the worst case of inflamm-
alton arising from such a wound,
People may sneer at this remedy
as much as they please, but when
they are afflicted with such wounds,
let them try it.
