For Your Consideration

In connection with the recent rec
ommendation of the school building
advisory committee to purchase ad
ditional school property adjoining the
present holdings, it has been sug-
gested that the balance of the land
in this block facing Brashear avenue,
which would include property now
being used for a ball park, be ac
quired. The pupils of the present
building and of the central school
to be constructed on the land immedi-
ately adjoining, would thus have a
magnificent playground and campus
which would make Morgan City's
school system famous, it was pointed
out.
The proposed plan for the acquire
ment Of this still additional property
would be by public subscription, as
in no other one civic enterprise are
all the citizens, individually and col
lectvely, quite so interested as move
ments affecting the school system
The fact was also emphasized that
the original plans of the committee
as published in The Review yesterday
will utilize all of the funds available
from the bonds (S60,00O. Morgan
City is now in a constructive period
of wonderful possibilities if the psy-
GEOLOGICAL moment is thoroughly taken
of. This property is now
on the market-splepdid constructive
plans are in formation for our schools
citizen at this time is keen
for better school conditions-Is this
the psychological moment?
The Review would be glad to hear
from its readers on this all important
subject. Is this an opportunity which
should not be neglected or is it mere
ly an impracticable dream?

tions must be signed by the writer.

Steam Laundry

Considerable evidence is at hand
that one of Morgan City's needs will
be satisfactorily taken care of in the
near future. A laundryman of many
years successful experience has been
looking over the field here for the
esta blishment of steam laundry.
He was brought here at the instiga-
ton of the Chamber of Commerce,
which is ever on the lookout for the
needs of Morgan City and Berwick.
The organization is working hard on
a number of propositions, which if
successfully landed will be of incal-
cuable benefit to every citizen of this
Matters essential to the
growth of Morgan City and Berwick
which can be efficiently handled only
by such an organization as this COM
munity is fortunate to possess.
The laundryman was here for sew
eral days and departed for his home
n Texas few days ago. A letter
was received by the Chamber of Com
merce yesterday in which the pros
pective Morgan City business man
neld every hope that his plans for
he establishment of big steam plant
for Morgan City would be realized.
The Chamber of Commerce has ex-
tended essential aid to the proposed
INVESTOR in this enterprise and it looks
very much as if their efforts will be
crowned with success.

BAR TO CITIZENSHIP
Naturalization Examiner Asks That
Applications Of Aliens Who Have
Claimed Exem ption Be Dismissed
One Such Case at Waterloo.

Waterloo, March 2S.-Before going
into the examination Of aliens seeking
entrance into the United States as full
fiedged citizens, a. H. Bode, federal
naturalization examiner. consulted the
records Of local exemption boards 10
ascertain whether any applicant Of
draft age had asked exemption on the
ground that he is an alien.
The inquiry revealed that Jacob
Kanofsky, native Of Russia, had made
such claim.
Up to a late hour yesterday Mr..
Kanofsky had not appeared with his
witnesses in the court room where
Judge G.. w Durham was conducting
the hearing.
Mr.. Bode said ne could do nothing
else, should Mr.. KanofsAy appear. than
ask that his application for citizenship
in this country be dismissed. This is
a course he is pursuing everywhere in
Iowa He has caused the dismissal Of
a large number Of applications On the
ground that applicants can not be good
American citizens who ask exemption
from military service in the American
army, which is now engaged in mortal
combat with an alien enemy.
The oath of citizenship provides that
the applicant give his solemn pledge
that he will do all in his power to repel
the foes of this government, whether
from within or without.
In some cases Mr.. Bode says, ap-
plicants have attempted 20 condone
their action before local exemption
boards on the plea they did not IN
derstand what they were doing In
some cases claims for exemption be-
cause the applicants were aliens have
been dismissed at the advice of the
reg!strants.
Pleas of this kind. II was intinated.
would be examined very closely 10 as
certain whether they were really made
in ignorance or in an effort 10 avoid
military service.

Foods and Feeding.
INV M X, Boyer.1

Whether or not table scraps arr
good for poultry depends on what th'
scraps are composed of. We have seer
scraps that might at least be marked
doubtful. Moldy bread, cake and pie
spoiled canned fruits. tainted meat
etc, had better be thrown on the com
post heap or buried-but when good
and fresh they make an ideal feed.
A mans own experience is his best
guide in feeding poultry. 1t is the
thing we find out for ourselves that
stays with us.
The vigorous hen is active and
Woodworking, always on the hunt fol
food. Her very activity gives her
strength and vigor of constitution.
In general feeding, about Is per
cent of meat scrap is sufficient fol
bone mash food
Green bone should not be fed often
er than three times a week, allowing
an ounce for each head Of stock. 1t is
not necessary to feed meat scrap on
the days green bone is given.
A good mash is made Of two parts
of bran, one part cornmeal. one part
middlings. one part ground oats, one
part meat scrap, and five per cent
linseed meal. This mash may be fed
wet or dry.
All food consumed by the fowl must
pass from the crop TO the gizzard
where it is ground and prepared fol-
assimilation. To properly perform
this function, it is necessary to have
good. sharp grita constantly within

When purchasing a supply OF beef

and tie securely In this way, worms OF
bugs Will not infest, and the meat

Oats should not be fed exclusively &c
laying fowls. 1t will stop their egg lay
ing nearly as soon as clear rye. Rye
may be good mixed with other food

hens. Il is harder to overfeed a grow
ing chick than il is a mature hen.

The child wasn't even strong enough To pun the trigger, but she was shot down immediatcly-that is another specimen for you of what Prussian oc- cupation means.
 A young girl, 16 years oh, was walking through the streets of Drus- sels--a young Belgian countess. A German officer came up and spoke to her, she refused to have anything to do with him, he was Count Letter. mich. and because she repulsed him he had her arrested and charged with the most awful crime possible in Ger many-that of insulting d Prussian officer.

Perhaps that will give you sorne- thing to take hold of in realizing what this war means. and if we could only take the man who brought on this war. and you all know who he is. we would drive him along such . Cal vary. whipping him and scoursins him at every step.
 Suppose when you leave this hall tonight you were to go home and look for your wife or your daughter and not find her. You would ask the nefghbors, Where is my wife? What has happened to my daughter? can't find them in the house." And the neishbors would say, We don't know where they are, but q file of Prus- sian soldiers and 8 Prussian sergeant came and carried them away"
 Now, thut is what happened to the women and the girls in tho great in. dustrial towns of Lisle and Roubais and Tourcoins, in northern France.
 The Germans seized that territory for themselves. They allow a min there no matter how much land he owns, only as much as this little atage am standing on to cultivate for him self, and the balance of tho land of the people Is taken and cultivated by German soldiers with their artillery and cavalry horses, and the rroduce is given to the German ar1Yty or the German people.
