is THE BUSIEST MAN IN WASHINGTON

The illness Of President Wilson
has caused many new duties to fall
on the secretary of state and as
consequence he is probably the
busiest man in Washington today.
Without advice of the president he
must handle all questions of for
eign policy, as well as many do
mestic ones, and in addition he
presides at meetings of the cab
met. He is not accountable to
congress for any of his official
acts, but is liable to impeachment
if he encroaches on legislative
ground.

Minden, La, Feb. 12-On account

At a depth of less than 20 feet a

the Webster parish line. According
to advices which have reached Min

Lincoln S Birthday
and War Savings

The 10th anniversary of Abraham
Lincoln's birth today bears an unus-
ual significance for the American
people.
In year when thankful thrift must
be the prevailing note, Lincoln's no.
bleexample Of simplicity and the per-
tinence of his many writings to the
nationwide campaign for intelligent
saving and investment in Thrift
Stamps, War Savings Stamps and
Liberty Bonds are the features OF
keenest intrest.
While it is true that Lincoln did
not attempt through thrift to create
vast enterprises nor amass wealth,
he appreciated in fine degree the val
ue of economy and he never deviated
from an economic mode of living.
Lincoln laid down this injunction
Teach Economy" That is one Of
the first and highest virtues. 1t be-
gins with saving money.
Lincoln looked upon frugality as
the basis oradvancement in life. He
said "The prudent penniless begin
ner in the world labors for wages a
while, saves a surplus with which to
buy land or tools for himself, then
labors for himself another while, and
at length hires another beginner to
help him. This is the just and gen.
erous and prosperous system which
opens the way to all, gives hope to
all, and consequent energy to pro-
gress and improvement of condition
to all.
The securities, so small as practi-
cally to be within the reach of every
one, made use of by the French Gov.
ernment since the France-Prussian
war to collect funds and to promote
habits of saving among the people,
abe reflected now in the United
States Thrift and War-Savings

Texas Company Purchase
Site in Berwick for
Large Oil Tank
fSecure 20 Acres from J. n.
Pharr & Sons to Erect
Oil Reservations for
this Section

The Texas Company or Port Ar
thur, Texas, one hundred million
dollar oil corporation, has purchased
from 7. N. Pharr & Sons at Berwick
a tract of ground comprising twenty
acres on which they will erect tank
farm to be used for oil reservoirs.
The project will mean the employ
ment of hundreds of men in the erec-
ton of the tanks, whic will be un-
dertaken at once. The price paid for
the land approximates 100000.
The deal was made by Vice-Presl~
dent Noble for the Texas company.
Mr.. John Pharr for ]. n. Pharr &
Sons, and was put through the latter
part of last week. Work of clearing
the land has been started by the Tex.
as Company. and the tanks will be
erected as soon as material can be
shipped for the purpose. The site
chosen faces Berwick Bay on one
side and the Atchafalaya River on
the other. and it the center of the
waterways of southwest Louisiana.
The developers will bring oil here in
large deep-sea vessels from their
loading points in Mexico, and will re-
quire the services of several such
vessels to keep the great number of
tanks to be erected filled. Many men
will be employed in this work and
will make their homes mostly in
Morgan City and Berwick, which
will mean an added revenue to local
! commercial channels.
The recognition by this big corpo-
ration of the feasibility of the chan
| mel leading to this port will tend to
direct the attention of the govern
ment to this channel, and will insure
its maintenance. Other big concerns
will take notice of the advantages Of
fered by this port, and will. like the
Texas company, help to develop the
resources of this territory while at
the same time advancing their own
/ interests. This port at one time en-
;joyed much prominence as deep
water port, but for some reason or
other. this shipping has dropped Off
considerably in the past few years.
Old issues of the local papers show
that on some occasions as many as
twenty-five ships were lined up at
local wharves. The citizens were
not united then as they are now in
their determination to develop the
possibilities of Morgan City, and
4 with New Orleans and Galveston Of
fering unusual dock facilities, the
trade gradually slipped from this port
to those, even though the route to
this port was more convenient and
shorter.
The Texas Company proposes to
purchase the plant of the Waddell-
Williams Lumber Company together
with their holdings, to manufacture
lumber for their own use. The deal
has not yet been closed, but it is ex-
! pected that in few days all apprais-
ments will have been made, and def
mite action will be taken in the mat
ter.

too Many Want to

Difficulty Finding Employment
for Clerks: None in Placing
Men Skilled in
other Trades

Washington, Feb. 12.-Thous-
ands who desire clerical occupa-
tions are an economic drug on
the market. The placement di-
vision of the United States de-
partment of labor recently an
nounced that it had no difficulty
whatsoever in finding places for
all men who had skilled trades,
but that the majority Of appli-
cants fo rplacement were young
men who desired clerical and
semi-clerical positions, which
are the least paid of all the occu-
pations listed.
A number of newspapers COM
mented upon the fact that young
men discharged from the army
and especially country boys, do
not want to go back to the un-
skilled labor and subsequent
small compensation on tn e
farms, and they in great num-
bers are joining the ranks of
thousands who desire to become
office men, work behind coun-
ters and the like.
Realizing this surplus, the fed

ton in returning disabled men
erdeavors in every instance
where possible, to induce the
men to take up one of the skill
ed trades for which he may be
fitted, even though he has suf-
fered impairments. BY giving
