INDIRECT RESULTS.

Besides having n number OF direct
results upon the success Of a business,
good advertising has also an indirect
influence that is interesting to note.
One Of these results is the creation
OF a reputation which in turn produces
confidence. The good advertiser be-
comes known wherever his printed
messages go and he acquires a repu-
tation not merely as an advertiser but
as a persistent worker for business.
And then In time the steady, regular.
periodical appearances Of his adver-
tisements create a sense Of perma-
nence and stability and a desire on the
part of the reader to become more
closely associated with the advertiser.
The continuous appeals to the reader
to "come In and see this" or "come In
and try that" soon meet responses and
gradually the reader forms the habit
Of going to Mr.. Good Advertisers place
Of business because he knows there
is always something of interest there.
By and by he goes there for the I'LL
ing of all his needs In that line and
good advertising has made another
convert.

With regard to the campaign to en-.

on Monday, July 29th, under the di-
rection OF the W0man's Committee of

Shaw sends the following message to
the State Divisions OF the Woman's
COMMITTEES:
"The Womsn's Committee of the
Council OF National Defense, desires
to express 1t great satisfaction with
the hearty response, the ingenuity
and initiative manifested by the State
Divisions In their plans toward the
support OF this work. The holy and
patriotic rivalry between the States in
order to lead In the number of nurses
enrolled gives promise that when the
drive 10 finished there will be, not only
the twenty five thousand asked for
but greater number to assure us of
further support when another demand
for nurses is made.
"The Government agencies in Wash
ington cooperating in the drive will
await with eagerness reports from the
States, and interest will be felt as to
which State will be able to first de-
liver its quota.
1.-THE inspiring news from the front,
the courage, devotion and splendid
sacrifice shown by our men on the

women OF the nation to respond to
their needs which we are sure our

spouse will be: 'As you have offered
yourselves to serve aud suffer for Us and

ORPHAN CHILDREN Of FRANCE.

It IL with pleasure that We announce
that the work being conducted in this
town and parish by Mrs. Oscar Levy
in behalf OF orphan children OF France
has been received with welcome by
our people and already Mrs. Levy has
placed six unfortunate little ones In
the loving care of good men and
women OF Tensas. 1t Ia not the inten-
ton OF the Society having this work
In hand to ask the benevolent citizens
to bring the children to America and
raise them in their own homes, unless
the god parents. as they are termed,
specially desire to have their adopted
children with them Under present
plan all they are asked to do is to ap-
propriste $3.50 per year for the sup
port OF each child-1Oc per day, and
though the demands on Us during these
times are great there are few who
cannot afford to deny themselves
something each day which will allow
of this small contribution. The small
sum OF $500 per month Is paid to Mrs.
Levy and Is by her RENTED to the So
ciety and by them transmitted BY the
J. P. Morgan bank in New York to the
organization In France having the
work of distribution In charge. Mrs.
Levy informs the Gazette that instead
of having trouble placing the children
it has been an effort on the part OF the
Society to supply her with children to
FIJI the demands from this parish, and
right now she has ten applications
from noble hearted men and women
of Tensss each for girl or boy which
are yet to be filled. It is understood
that this is the opportunity Of life
time for bachelors and childless par
ents to fulfill the duty devolving on
every man and woman to rear and
educate some child bereft Of parents
and thereby In some measure ct least
supplant the unhappy baroness In
their own lives, for 1t 10 the irrevocs-
BILE law of nature that everything
should propagate Of ito kind, and
where same 10 unavoidable among the
human race to devote fully Of their
time, means and affections to the we'll
fsre Of snother's child, who, like the
brave men OF France, have lain down
their lives while their offspring 10 YET
young. Mrs. Levy will soon have
another list OF children to offer our
people and any one who may feel In
terested car communicate with her.

KEEP ". S. S. PLEDGES.

The attention of the War Savings
Committee for Tensas parish has
been called by headquarters at New
Orleans to the fact that the War
Savings pledges made by some of
our people have not been as faith
fully kept as was expected. 1t will
he remembered that campaign was
begun last June when all patriotic
citizens were requested to pledge
themselves to buy a certain amount
Of War Savings stamps each month
for the balance of the year, it being
understood that this campaign would
close on December 81. For instance
the man or woman who promised to
buy one hundred dollars worth OF
these national securities by January
lst is expected to buy fifteen dollars
worth each month for the seven
months intervening between June
and January. Having made this
promise to the Government it thence
became the duty of the citizen to
keep that promise inviolate by
making these baby bond purchases
in full sum agreed upon regularly
each month. Failure to do 80,
without necessitOus reason, resem-
bles lukewarmness to the govern
ment and weakness in patriotic zeal
We do not believe there is a man,
women or child in Tensas, irrespec
tive of age, color or creed, that is
not one hundred per cent patriotic.
While some who have signed pledges
to assist the government in this great
crisis have perhaps neglected to
make the purchases of War Savings
Stamps with regularity, we are sure
same has been entirely resultant
from thOughtlessness and prOcrasti-
nation, and not from lack Of interest
in the cause. We trust there have
been none who have been reduced
To such straits by the high cost Of
living that have not been able to
redeem their pledges. 1t is the duty
Of all citizens to support the govern
ment at this time with all their
might, and we should allow moth
ing, short of life itself, to interfere
with our obligation. The nation re-
quires money. and lots Of it. and to
win this war Uncle Sam must have
every thing he needs, and he has no
one to look to for aid but the people.
While the amount each person indi-
vidually lends the government may
appear small, the aggregation from
our hundred million population will
be sufficient to carry the banner OF
victory to Berlin. However, If one
person lays down" on his job and
fails to come across" each month
the other fellow may feel like doing
so, too. and ere long the breach in
the ranks will widen, and the first
thing we know the Hun will get
through and then America may feel
the true meaning of German Kultur
like Belgium has-but not as long
as there is drop Of red American
blood left this side of the Atlantic
We again call upon the citizenship
of Tensas parish, without regard to
person, to respond to the appeal
from the New Orleans headquarters
to rally Immediately to the aid Of
the government and bring the
sinews of war" that we might
drive the iron home, for Germany
must be destroyed.

JOHN \. ovER1ON.
(Concordia Sentinel)

After q careful consideration of the
merits and qualifications Of three can
didates for the Broussard succession
In the Senate OF the United States, the
Sentinel has decided to support and
now commends to the voters of Con-
cordis parish, John II Overton, OF
Rapides.
In arriving at this decision we pay
no attention and give no weight to
the section of the State in which Mr..
Overton or any other candidate may
live. Indeed, we deplore and depre-
ciate the effort made by some people
and by some newspapers to inject
questions of sectionalisin into the pri-
mary campaign, as is being done,
notably by the supporters OF Mr.. Gay.
The Sentinel protests against the
idea advanced by friends OF the ami
mated rich sugar planter from her
Vile that the fact that he lives In
South Louisiana and is sugar plant
or, entities him to or qualities him for
Q seat in the Senate, and this fact and
resson, like these, by the way, are
about the only suggestions thrown out
In advocacy Of Mr.. Gays claims and
candidacy.
We repeat that we do not subscribe
to the undemocratic class OF people or
any special interest or any particular
section i'm Louisiana is entitled to q
seat In the Senate. Mr.. Broussard's
successor should be OF that type OF
man broad enough to represent all the
people, all Of the interests and all the
subdivisions of the State.
Such q man Is John Ii. OvertOn.
Born, reared and living in central
Louisiana, educated at our State Uni
versity, Mr.. Overton's particular Sec
ton OF the State produces all our great
staple crops-cotton, sugar and rice,
and also produces the bulk of Louis
iana's next greatest interest, lumber.
II elected Senator, Mr.. OvertOn would
look to the welfare of all the great in
dustries mentioned above, would rep
resent each and all of them with equal
zeal and fidelity.
Young enough to be full OF that
vigOr and fire that youth carries with
1t, Mr.. Overton is mature enough to
have acquired that ripe experience In
public affairs which a member of the
Senate should possess. Educated at
the State University, Mr.. Overton's
natural ability has been cultivated and
brOadened by liberal education. He
Isl lawyer OF proved ability, gifted
speaker, man of spotless private and
professional life; a sincere Democrat,
. fervent lover of his country, q de-
voted admirer and follower Of Wood
row Wilson.
II elected to the Senate, John H.
Overton would serve there as credit
and honor TO his native State, and
would represent there all of its peo-
pie, aud all Of its interests without re-
gard to section.
