MAKE YARDS SUCCESS
Shipbuilding A Permanent
Industry In Madison
vile After War.

There has been much talk In the
New Orleans papers (Which have
always spoken Of the Jahncke ship
yards as being In New Orleans) that
Mr.. Jahncke would build his steel
ships in New Orleans. New Orleans
has no place to build ships and may
never have in time for war service.
1t would not hurt her to give Madi-
sonville the credit Of building ships.
There are several good shipyards In
st. Tammany parish and all are
pushing work rapidly and doing It
we'll, and II there is need OF accom-
modations for wOrkmen, the govern
ment will soon be building houses
for them.
Mr.. Jahncke has always claimed
his attachment for St. Tammany par
ish. The people certainly appreciate
the fact that he has given employ
ment to SO many workmen In st.
Tammany parish. and the people Of
Madisonville may not be expected 70
do anything that will obstruct his
shipbuilding or handicap him in any
way. The town has just agreed 30
give him right of way on Main street
for a railroad to haul supplies for
the yards, only asking that It be .
chartered road. Shipbuilding has
come to Madisonville to stay. Not
only is 1t patriotic venture to help
win the war, but permanent for the
construction Of the big merchant ma
rine we will need after the war.

ING LAW TO
START APL.

II you go to bed at 10 O'Clock in
the evening of March 30, and get up
at o'clock Sunday morning by the
new time you will have slept seven
hours; but hereafter when you go
to bed at IL o'clock and get up at
6 you will also have slept hours,
because under the daylight saving
law which goes into effect March 81
every clock in the country will be
set ahead one hour. If you don't
make. tbs change you will be out Of
whack with the rest of the world,
and will be late at church, miss your
train and get to the dinner table
when every body else IS through. So
you must set your watch and clock
one hour ahead Sunday morning,
March 81, or preferably Saturday
night when you retire.
The Daylight Saving Bill was
signed by President Wilson Tuesday
and became a law 1t is the first
calendar change made in this portion
of the Western Hemisphere in 1856
years. While it looks simple, it will
not only save daylight, but saloons
and other places that may keep open
until IL O'Clock midnight will vir-
tually close at II o'clock or violate

Houltons To Have
Big Stock Farm
At Uneedus.

New Orleans papers announce that
G. c.. Hendricks, from York, Ne
braska, has entered into $50 900
partnership with the Houlton Birth
ers, of Uneedus, a short distance
from Covingtcn, for the raising of
live stock, Mr.. Hendricks to provide
the cattle and the Houltons the land.
1t is said that Mr.. Hendricks, who
is a prominent and experienced cat.
tie man, has travelled extensively in
search of suitable land, and has de-
cided that the lands of this section
offer the best opportunity to the cat
tie man.
The Houltons have made big sue
cess in farming cut-over lands, and
with the experience of Mr.. Hen
bricks in cattle raising the com bina-
tion should also be a big success.
Mr.. Hendricks states that other cat
tie men in Nebraska will follow him
as soon as it is demonstrated that
this is the right place to raise cattle:
According to New Orleans papers,
Mr. Hendricks said why, l can
get a million dollars worth of cattle
into this country in year

One OF The Offenders An
Officer Who Should

ARRESTS MADE BY
SECRET SERVICE MEN
Other Towns In Parish Nav
Put Detectives
At Work.

The Parish Council Of Defense has
taken up the matter Of enforcement
Of laws and municipalities have been
forced, but officers of the law must
exert themselves to find those who
are violating the laws in orler that
these violations may be brought be-
fore the courts. When local authori-
ties have lawless matters brought to
their attention by outside officers
who come and find violations that
have passed unnOticed ut home, it
shows lack OF vigilence. 1t is un-
fortunate that an officer Of the law
should have been one of the yfSlators
In the case in question, but it shows
why it has been found necessary to
bring outside detectives to discover
these things, and gives support to the
plans that have been discussed by
citizens Of other towns i'm the parish
for the employment of expert detec-
tives to ferret out violations that are
rumoretl to be constantly going on.
The Times-Picayune gives the fol-
lowing account of the affair in Sill

New Orleans, March 21.-The in
