has been used on clothing to vapor

they have several large pressing ma
chimes and washing machines and al
so an apparatus for not only extract
ing the gasoline from the clothing
but they have installed a machine
which by the combination of dry heat

gasoline and which is so necessary
for renovating clothing.
The company also has a new truck

their services to our country when
war was declared by us against
Spain. Captain Stubs and most Of
the old "Ouachita Guards" were soon
indicted into the service Of the United
States, the company becoming Com
pany B, First Regiment Louisiana
Volunteer Infantry, and, while it saw
no active service in the Spanish-Ameri-
can war, it's excellence as a military
unite was officially commended.
Florida Captain Stubs was rendered
a Majors rank; but, having given his
promise to the parents of the boys who
went into our country's service under
him, at farewell banquet rendered
the company just before leaving home
in April, that he would look after their
sons and remain with them, come what
might-he declined the proffered pro-
motion for the greater honor which
the trust of those at home implied and
whose confidence was not misplaced
or abused. Shortly after the Spanish
American war, the State Militia was
reorganized, and Captain Stubs was
rendered and accepted the colonelcy Of
the First Regiment, with which he
later served as commanding officer on
the Mexican border and with which he
went as its colonel to France, the regi-
ment being at that time known as the
155th Infantry. In recognition of Col
onel Stubs military services overseas
and in appreciation of his general fit
ness and personal qualifications, he
was TWICE recommended for promo
ton to a BrigadierGeneralshi and
only the sudden termination of hostili-
ties prevented the issuance of his com
mission. Though still a young man
Colonel Stubs has served his country
with distinction and honor through
THREE wars, each time among the
first to volunteer. and not sheathing
his sword until the issue had been sat
isfactorily decided.
This splendid record shows that Col
onel Stubs was actuated by the mob
lest and purest motives of patriotism
and his thousands of friends were
quick to recognize the fact that in him
were centered the qualities which
should be possessed by any man who
aspires to govern great State. Henc,
it was that Colonel Stubs, after much
urging, consented to make the race fol
Governor. Since then he attracted t.
his standard many of the recognized
leaders of the Democratic party, TO

To BUILD CHEAP HOMES
FOR THE PEOPLE
FACTORY BUILT HOUSES TO SAVE
MORE THAN 30 PER CENT
THOMAS Il. BROWN LOCAL
REPRESENTATIVE.

Those who went to the Folly Thea
ire few nights ago and viewed the
Ford Weekly" of how factory
houses are already cut out at the
lumber mill and put up within
three of four days, will have a good
idea of new industry that is short
ly to come to this city.
The Coons Cypress Silo Company
of Patterson, La, has already an
nounced their intentions TO come to
the city of New Orleans to erect
factory for this purpose They have
purchased two squares of ground at
I Carrollton and Washington Avenues
! for which SIS, 900 paid.
The company expects to build for
| the people not what is known usu-
ally as the knock-down houses which
are shipped from northern points,
| but they will take a contract to
build a certain house for you at
certain prices but instead of the ma
terial all being cut out on the prem
Uses or the lot where the building is
to be erected, this work will all be
done by machinery at the factory
saving many days of labor cost and
assuring a more substantial struc-
ture throughout.
Mr.. Thomas B. Brown. one of
our local builders well known here
residing at III Opelousas Avenue,
will become the local representative
of the Coons Cypress Company i'm
this district.
The company has already begun
the moving of it's plant here and will
be prepared within a short time to
begin the erection of cottages at a
price that will make it possible for
landlords to erect premises for rem
tai purposes.
Mr. Brown is very much elated
over the fact that the big concern
will move to New Orleans so that
the people here will have an oppor-
tunity to go to the office, select
their building, by photograph of the
house, see the plans, and also have
the pleasure of seeing the building
put up by the company's own work
men in a short time.

IMPORTANT ARREST

Captain Wheatley and Corporal Fer
ret of the Eight Precinct made a
good arrest last week when at New
ton and Verret streets, they took in
to custody a negro named Alfred
Pool, % Of 223 Lamarque street, who
they charged with assault with
dangerous weapon and highway rob-
berry. Pool is alleged to have held
up two young white men, Joseph
Foudre and Peter N. Danos, at New
ton and LIE Boeuf streets, Sunday
night. securing $40 from them after
assaulting them with a revolver.
The negro was positively identified
after the arrest, which came about
on information furnished by the vic
tins.

they had to content themselves by
hearing orations at some of the over
flow meetings held on the outside.
Colonel Stubs was given a very
warm greeting by the regular Demo
cratic body in the city. Immediately
following his presentation the crowd
greeted him with a roaring applause.
1t was many minutes before he was
able to begin his address. For the
benefit of those who were not able
to hear all of his speech, 1t was
printed in full in Wednesday morn
ing's Times Picayune.
The following is a sketch of Colo
mel Stubs career and will give our
readers many interesting points re-
garding his life both as a public and
private citizen.
In Colonel Frank P. Stubs all fac
tions of the Democratic party find an
ideal candidate who commands the
support of those loyal to the best in
terests of the State. Colonel Stubs
is not the "hand-picked" candidate Of
any organization or combination of as
piring politicians, but his candidacy is
in response to the spontaneous and in
sistent demands of those who know
him best and appreciate his noble
qualities of mind and heart and his
sincere and laudable desire to serve
the people of his State to the best of
his ability. He is seeking the support
of all men qualified to participate in a
Democratic primary, and gladly vel
comes the hearty and cordial sup
port of all voters. The endorsement
of any organization in any section of
the State will be most praciously re-
ceived. Colonel Stubs recognizes the
fact that the active leaders of the
Democratic party in Louisiana are
men who have proven their worth and
loyalty and he gladly accepts the sup
virtue of the fact that they are lead
ers in the party councils, is sufficient
guarantee that they are entitled to the
consideration of all men.
Colonel Stubs is in the very prime
Of life; active, vigorous and full Of
energy. He is an educated gentleman,
qualified by long years of close appli
cation to the solving of legal problems
to cope with any question. He is a
successful business man, being the
head of one of the biggest financial in
situations in north Louisiana. He
with his brother, have made a remark
able record as successful farmers,
knowing and practicing the science OF
agriculture. Thus, in Colonel Stubs
is found the rare combination of &
prosperous attorney-at-law, a success
full business man and a progressive
farmer. But the record he has made
as soldier affords his friends and ad
The herald. [volume] (New Orleans, La.) 1905-1953, 1919-10-09

to command the cordial support of a
generous and grateful people; and,
without attempting to criticize or hum
iliate other ambitious gentlemen, they
rallied almost spontaneously to the
support of Colonel Stubs.
1t is not the policy of Colonel Stubs
to deal in personalities in this cam
paign. He will discuss measures, not
men. 1t is his desire to be Governor
of Louisiana, believing that he is quail.
flied by his experience in various
capacities; and by his knowledge OF
men and how to obtain the best re-
suits, will enable him to still further
serve his people-serve them in times
Of peace as faithfully and successfully
as he served them in war.
