TO MAKE FOE FLOAT BONDS.

NEW YORK. Feb. S.-Economists
attached 10 the Paris peace confer
ence have discovered a method Of ex-
acting an immediate indemnity from
Germany by compelling the German
government to float a bond issue in
the allied countries. This is a de-
parture in war payments. It pre-
sents the paradox Of the allies paying
to themselves the indemnity owing
them by Germany. Nevertheless, the
proposal can be effectively worked
out.

The Metric System

Efficiency is the slogan of modern America; efficiency
in business, in finance and in all the industrial pro-

consideration which will greatly simplify our national ac-

system.
The metric system is table of measurements based
upon the decimal scale. How much easier to make CAL
culatons basis Of 10, 100, 900 than uneven
and mixed numbers used in the American tables of meas
urements. AS the future promises immense trade with
European nations, most of which the metric meas

Loyalty to the President

There are many people who criticise the President
These people personally do like him. and they
see why, if they think he is unfit for Office every
should not agree with them.
They could be compared to group of children
When voting what game play three for game
and two for another If the good losers they
will agree with the choice of the majority and play with
out protesting But if they spoiled children, they
will refuse to play and go home They will have made
every uncomfortable and shown their own poor
craftsmanship.
There are grownup voters that behave exactly the
same way. They have lost and instead of keeping quiet
and eecting their candidate tie time they
continually talking of the Presidents mistakes They
cannot realize that the President fairly elected
the majority of the citizens that whether thew like
1T or not they ought to be loyal to him.
When foreign nation ridicules President, it is
very bad but when citizens of own country do so
IS Tar worse. He is leader and should support
h for II he is not the right in the right place it
the nations fault. Winifrcd NJ Smell IA vears)

YOU MEN Who PAY THE
FAMILY SHOE BILLS

Tramping Is miles day, Mr.. II. M.
Foreman, a mail carrier of Allentown,
Pa, found that shoes with ordinary
soles last about one month. But he
says pair of Neolin-soled shoes gave
him more than nine months of service,
in which time he walked over 1000
miles.
His experience shows how you may
save shoe money by providing your
family with Ne0lin-soled shoes. which
give extra wear where other shoes wear
out quickest.
You can get Neolin-soled shoes in
any type of shoe you want. Prices
are about the same as for shoes that
give only ordinary wear, sometimes
they are even less, If your dealer
hasn't the style you want, he can get
it for you quickly Remember, Ne0lin
Soles are created by science to be what
soles should be. They are available
everywhere for re-soling as well as on
new shoes. They are made by The
Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company,
Akron, Ohio, who also make Wingfoot
Heels-guaranteed to outwear any
other heels.

Elks Planning Big Time
For April Meeting

Morgan City Lodge No. 1121, B
P. O. E., are making plans for big
celebration on the day of their April
meeting, when many candidates will
be put through the secrets of Elk
dom, and will be made TO ride the
famous goat. In addition to a pa
rade, big dinner is being planned
says Secretary Fisher, and the Hou-
ma Lodge will be on Hand to help
make things lively. The Elks always
believe in doing things in big way
this time they are going to exceed
lall of their previous efforts in the
way, of staging big time.
Mr.. Fisher says thar applications
are continually coming in, and that
big class of candidates will furnish
work for the initiating team when
the fatefu1 moment arrives. The
thoughts of the applicants are divi-
ded between the terrors of tina: ini-
tiation and what the festive board
will hold when the word is ivep to 81
to it. Some say that chicken spa
ghetti will be most prominent, others
contend that chicken spaghetti is rot
the best thing in the world, and fer
the best people on earth" nothing
will do but THE best thing in the
world in the line of eats-so yGu
see, here is an extra Undue .ment fer
sending in that application.
The Morgan City Lodge 1l2l pro-
mises to be one of the stronres: ag-
gregations of good fellows in
this section of the country. They
own their own home-and it's
some homeCand have much material
for new members. The various
teams are saving wood and saying
much to line up an army of applicants
for the big occasion.

Morgan City Workers
Help Uncle Sam

Well-paid skilled tradesmen have
been found to be among the best
sources of revenue under the income
tax law, according to a statement
made Mnday night by George Land.
wehr, internal revenue agent. Mr.
Landwehr has returned to New Or
leans after several weeks field work
throughout parts of Southwest Louis
lana, where he assisted persons and
firms in making out their income
statements.
Take the case of Morgan City,
Mr. Landwehr said. "Mechanics and
others in the big shipyard there have
been making. roughly. from S5 to s.
a day straight time, with increments
for overtime work and the like.
These wages with lost time added
make their income range between
$500 and $2400 year on the average.
It's case of Uncle Sans having
paid them good wages and of their
paying back taxes in proportion to
the increased pay"
MIR. Landwehr declared that he was
optimistic as a result of the survey
OF the territory just covered by himy
and that those classes liable to the
tax had made fair statements in their
returns.

Parish Road Adminisra-
tors Include Municipal
ity Benefits in Build
ing Plans
Distribution will Give 9Th Ward
About S144,O00 of Par
ish, State and Fed
eral Funds

At a meeting of the Police Juror:
at Franklin Wednesday the protest
which had been made by the mayor
and council of Morgan City agains,
the including of this municipality il
a parish-wide road building district
was disposed of upon the advice OF
the District Attorney because it did
not comply with the law covering
such protests. A resolution was pass
ed by the Police Jury stating that
they regretted that the officials OF
Morgan City felt justified in making
such protest, and thar upon advice
of their counsel no consideration
could be given by them legally to
the protest.
Immediately upon adjournment of
the Police Jury, the Board of Admin
istrators of the Road District, which
comprises all wards and municipal
ties of St. Mary Parish, with the ex-
ception of the Fourth Ward which
has already voted bonds for road
building, met and formally adopted
resolutions fixing the election date
and the amount of taxes to be voted,
also approximating mileage and To-
cation thereof to be built from the
bond issue when carried. The amount
of the issue asked was fixed at $780,
600 and the day of election set for
April 10Th, 1919. Careful estio,dtes
show that 76 miles of road should be
built and that the laying out of roads
to be built includes the main street
through the town of Patterson,
about two miles inside the city of
Morgan City A resolution has been
drawn up which calls for the work
in the Sixth Ward, amounting to IA
miles outside the city and fouv miles
inside the city, to he begun and fin
ished at a date not later than a.y
work is done elsewhere in the par
ish. This was decided upon il, a
spirit of fairness because the work
of the former bond issue was begun
in western end of the parisi, and
ended in The Sixth Ward.
According to prorata distribution
of the proceeds of the proposed bond
issue, the Sixth Ward gets more mil
cage from standpoint of property
valuation than the 3rd Ward, the 5th
Ward or the 9th Ward, Will. it gets
less in proportion to assessment than
the 1st, End and 9TH Wards.

Ben Hur Dance the
Event Of the Season

The dance given by the Tribe of
Ben Hur at the City Hall last night
proved to be the biggest event of the
season among social circles here. The
big hall was crowded with dancers
and merry-makers from Morgan City
Berwick, Patterson, Franklin, Jeane-
rette, Donner, Baton Rouge and New
Orleans. The Toerner Jazz Band fur
nished music for the occasion.
The spirit of the occasion is re-
Elected in an. outburst from one OF
the dancers who had occasion to ex-
press his opinion of the affair. ~
ooh, boy! Did you hear that band p
he almost shouted, "Say, those guys
are some jazz artists! Whenever
they'd open up with that ta-ah-ah-um
ia tum boom! bam why boy, I just
had to get that energy out of my
system, and my feet went crazy. Say
when that Gautreaux fellow from
Patterson would shove that slide out
to the limit and pull it back, and that
ragtime princess at the prano would
biff those keys and Bob Toerner
would put all of his breath into that
cornet, why that melody would make
sardine whip a whale. And then,
when young Ghirardi, Price and
Drury would contribute their bit,
together with that sweet stuff from
Crawford's saxaphone, the harmony
was complete, and everybody was
happyand gay"
Mr.. Tom German, chief of the
Tribe Of Ben Hur, reports that the
dance was financial as we'll as a So
cial success, over $4,000 being clear
ed from the proceeds.
