Hoover Cables Call to Help
Starving People In
Asia Minor

The following cablegram was today
received from Herbert Hoover !:
Need for Armenian Syrian Relief
becomes increasingly acute. The
plight of Armenian and Syria is es-
pecially distressing because nearly
everything that is done tor them must
be sheer charity there being no es-
tablished governments to give obliga-
tions for payment. A systematic de-
struction of their agriculture and in
dustry has been carried on for four
years. The most heroic effort and
sacrifice will have to be made by the
friends of these people if they are to
be restored to their homes and ena-
bled to hew back to an independent
existence"

Call for Street Bonds Elec-
ton to Follow Visit
Of State Highway
@ Engineer
Following Recommendations as
to Materials and Methods,
:. Mayor Shannon Will Present
Opportunity to Public

The Morgan City public is soon to
have the privilege of voting bonds
to build good streets in the best city
in the state Mayor Shannon has
stated that Immediately following
the visit of State Engineer Buie who
is coming in a few days to recon-
mend materials and methods of street
building, the City Council will call
an election in order to provide mon
ey for the street work which the cit
liens have been asking for for the
past several months. According to
Mayor Shannon, between ten and
twelve miles of streets will be build
ed and the plan is not only to provide
model streets but curbings. complet-
ed water and sewer connections and
everything finished up in apple-pie
order so that the work once done,
need not be disturbed by itinerant
plumbers or random ditch diggers.
The costs Of building the necessary
streets and making necessary repairs
along the water front will be esti-
mated when Engineer Buie has look
ed over the scene. A great saving is
to be effected for the city by the aid
which the State and Federal Govern
ment will extend toward the surfac-
ing Of Railroad Avenue from the
eastern city limits to the Ferry land
ing. Fifty per cent of this cost will
be paid by the state and national gov
ernment. This street is considered
part of the Old Spanish Trail, ma
tional highway of greatest impor-
tance, and for this reason it comes in
for ten to twenty thousand dollars
from sources other than the taxpay-
ers of Morgan City. 1t has also been
intimated that the State and Federal
Governments may see fit, upon the
recommendations of Mr.. Buie, to
lend some assistance to the taxpav-
ers in their general street repair pro-
gram. This is being done in many
rural communities at this time be-
cause the State and Federal Govern
ment want to encourage such public
Improvements in every possible way
in order to furnish an outlet for Ia
Dor. The nation. the states, the par
ishes and the municipalities are pay
ing in part their debt to the boys who
wore khaki in the recent conflict.

Ad. Writer for Wel-known
Road Material Tells
How One Man Car
ried Election
Loss of Several Dollars on One
Order Convinced Merchants
That Bad Roads Were More
Expensive Than Good Ones

An advertisement in The National
Weekly concerning Tarvia as road
material sets forth the following
good roads" story which may not
come from life but is undoubtedly
true to life, therefore it is passed on
to others who may not have seen it.
"A well-known county engineer
tells this story, and it's the best good
roads story we ever heard.
HE says the comfy was terribly in
need of better roads. The mud all
through the district was so deep that
is was impossible to use wagons, all
travelling being done either on foot or
horseback.
I'm spite of the need there was lit
tie enthusiasm for good roads when
the Board Of County Commissioners
met Everyone was afraid of the
presumed high cost and increased
taxes.
A farmer in the back room arose.
"Mr Chairman" he said. II amt fit
to address a dignified meeting like
this, but that's because I've had to
travel for ten miles over the kind of
roads you give US.
Il couldn't drive, 1 had to ride
horseback. my boots are covered
with mud; my trousers with mud /;
my coat is covered with mud my hat
is covered with mud; and if I hadn't
stopped to wash it my face would be
covered with mud, too.
II look as if I had crawled here on
my hands and knees, and / r, only half
through because I've stiff got to go
back, with five dollars worth of
groceries that 1 bought from brother
Fletcher.
"1f there had been good, hard road
that my old horse could climp up and
draw in load of lumber that I've got
ready, / would have bought twenty
five dollars worth of groceries in.
stead of five dollars worth, and there
would have been that much more
money in town tonight"
And the mud-covered farmer sat
down!
Other speakers took up his case.
They pointed out that good roads
were an asset instead of liability;
an economy instead of an expense; !;
that they brought money to a town
and greatly increased the markets.
The result was that the Commits
sioners enthusiastically passed res
olution to issue bonds enough to
give them several miles of good
roads.
Today the county is more prosper
Gus than ever. school conditions are
better and the amount of traffic GO
ing in anl out of the town has increas-
ed several hundred per cent.
The old-time hostility to good
roads BY taxpayers is fast passing
away. Mud holes may took cheap,
but they are the costlie.t thing any
community can have around.

This man belongs to the most exclu-

gunners who manned the big 14-inch
naval guns which helped smash the
German lines On the western front.
There were only 800 men, all picked
from the regular navy ranks. in this

that Of marine except for the In
