HOME DECORATIONS.

The home may be attractivelN deco rated with a variety of flowers from the woods these spring days and the little trouble of gathering them may turn into a few hours Of delight at heing in the woods aud the open.
 There are hepaticas of all dainty shades from the palest of pink and lavender to the deepest of blue and PurpIe' These are to be found in the sheltered woody places. Then therc arc the adder tongues which grow in the woods and swampy places. Ar range these with sprays of pussy will lows, which are in their last stages of growth, but more picturesque for all that.
 Arrange these in baskets or vases, but preferably in baskets, as this may bring touch of woods into the house. Willows grow plentifuIly by the brooks, and a. few sprays of these placed in a jardinierc or a big bas- ket will brighten up one corner of the living room.
 If one wishes to make the flowers last longer they may he dug up by the roots and placed with loam from the woods or rich loam in flower pots or in jars filled with plenty of water, where they will flourish for mum Der of days. It is almost time for cow slips, which grow in or near the brooks, and for trillium and colum- binc and dog wood.

ATTENDANTS NEEDED.

Nurses are more in demand than ever before and in order to meet the need for training women as attend ants so that they may intelllgently handle sickness which does not de- mand the services of a trained nurse the Ballard school of the central branch of the Y. w. C. A. in New York city has had to materially in- crease its equipment.
 In normal times the students aver a ge about 10 in class, largely women who wanted the instruction for their own personal benefit so as to be ready to meet emergencies in their homes or for the purpose of earning their own living. During the war the number of students in each class average 150, mostly women from leisure classes who desired to offer their services to the government.
 Since 1914 more than 300 women who graduated from the trained at- tendants course of the Ballard school have been in France.
 The students are taught the prac- tical work Of nursing in an intensive course of II weeks The school has a complete hospital equipment with artificial and live models for practical and demonstration work.
 Lectures are given on physiology, anatomy, theory of nursing, ethics Of nursing, emergencies, invalid cooking and banda ging.
 The first course was given in 1896. Similar courses are given in the Y. w. c. A. in Brooklyn, St. Louis Bridge port and Germantown.

EO\'S THEATEIR.

One of the biggest shows of the
 season, is being offered at Foxs ] comm encng tonight. Harry Carey l in "Roped," Charlie Chaplin, in his
 ''Shoulder Arms and the last Epi- l sode of The Lightning Raider and 1 q big vaudeville show gre offered. In "Roped," Harry Carey ac- knowledged master of all natural western picture play stars has a role that is different from anything he has yet interpreted. "Roped IS thrilling western story in which much of the action has an eastern back ground including New York's Great White Way. with many incidents or a humorous character. Although
 the featured performer in the pro-
 duction, Harry Carey is by no means the star. The twinkling satellite of
 'Roped' is Q, bouncing, natural cry ing, laughing baby who brings Chcy- cnne Harry and his band ot nara
 riding cowboys across the comment 10 New York, where they participate in incidents which mako this offer ing one of the best things of it's kind on the screen this year.
 Charlie Chaplin's last production "Shoulder Arms" proved to be as DIE "a laughing sen SatlOn aS when IL Was Ia st presented at FoNs. Charles manellvering while a member of the awkward squad, his frantic endeaNors to toe in. while on the march, his troubles while in the duGOut, his back scratchcr, mouse trap, and bath tub, will still provoke screams of mlrth these three days. And that incident when he goes out into No Mans Land camouf1aged as a tree, and the con- scQuent chase, when he is discovered by the German patrols, the thrilling and comical efforts of the enemy to single Charlie out from the rest of the forest, all these conlo oine to make "Shoulder Arms easily the best con- edy offering that the screen has vet shown. The latest Pathe News, Mutt and Jeff, and the final episode of ''The Lightning Raider,' complete the film bill. In the latter, Wu Fang, is finally cornered and the truth about the Lightning Raider and the mys- tery of the Ebony Block are finally solved. The four acts of Fox's vau- deville, are headlined by The Sun shine Girls, a musical comedy with ten people, and chorus of real Broadway show girls special scenery, lighting effects, etc, making this one of the most expensive acts ever play ing New Britain.

CALLS ATTENTION TO BAYOU

The difficulty experienced by steam
craft in navigating Bayou Lafourche
has often been called to attention,
Hon. w. D. Breaud has p<evjuosly
called the attention Of the joint levee
boards to the matter and this week
the Texas Oil Company complained
to the United States Government re-
garding the difficulty they were hav.
ing in Ascension due to the washing
of the banks into the bayou, as we
noted some weeks ago. In conse.
quence a United States Engineer was
at Donaldsonville on last Monday and
Mr.. Beraud was called to the confer.
ence. The matter will be taken up
by the joint boards at their meeting
in July and some steps will have tc
be taken to remedy and the only
method by which six foot channel
will be assured to navigation is the
building Of the locks at the head OF
the bayou.

Own Your Own Home

Morgan City has never been in such
a critical condition on the subject of
house rent as it is at present. The
shipyard. box factory and other in
| dustries have brought hundreds of
new inhabitants here which is an ad
| vantage to every business man, and
helps Morgan City in every way, but
| the serious question which confronts
| the new comers as we'll as the town
people themselves is where can |
find a house to rent?" When house
is found, the money paid for rental
| in many cases could cover the cost of
| the house, therefore there is really
but one thing TO be done and that is
buy a home
Buying home may seem to be as
| large as mountain in this case, still,
| why should one pay money month
after month for a rented home, when
it is possible to invest that money in
home Of his own? The building
/
sociations, banks and several other
similar financial organizations have
made it possible for you to pay on
your own home on the same plan as
you would to another person for
rent. and as little time passes by,
you find yourself the possessor of
home instead Of box full of rent
receipts.
In the case of death if the woman
has to earn her living and that of her
family, it will be great advantage
to know that at the end Of the month
she will not have to be paying rent,
but can use this money for other ne
cessities. Property can be bought
all over town and it will not only re-
lieve congestion if the people would
build, but there would be more prop
erty owners, larger town, and q
greater advantage TO- everybody.

been passed. Even then. however, it
will still be Of vital Importance that
the country shaft proceed with a
.thoroughgoing Augmentation cam
paign, since otherwise the atmos-
phere Of violent, unreasoning, and
unrestrained class-hatred which is
being daily brcathed by hundreds Of
thousands of people in this country
because Of misunderstanding of our
institutions, will breed hordes Of
other disciplines Of these deadly "di-
rect action" methods.
This condition of ignorance and
unrest is undoubtedly responsible for
these outrages, and this condition
must be corrected if we are ever to
be free from the insidious menace of
anarchy and lawlessness such as we
have just witnessed.

ARE WE THE WISE ONES?

him lay the kit of vagran umbrella mender and he had
Just unwrapped huge sandwich of bread and meat which
some hospitable woman had given him. "Good morning
we saluted cheeruly as we passed. for there

aside the wrapping from his sandwich and eyed the gen

AS we sat down at the desk and became busy with the
morning mail could not get the tramp umbrella mender

The first letter opened was notice from the bank that
a note had discounted two months ago had not been

We showed aside the mail and began to wonder if it

all wrong? Which was the wiser-the tramp or the bust

never forget
On "HOw to Make Your Dreams
Come True
And it had nothing to do with
Freud,
Or with these dreams you some
times have of finding yourself in the
middle of Fifth Avenue without any
shoes and stockings on, or OF being
chased by an Indian with a package
of cigars in his hand, or of falling off
the Woolworth tower-oh no!
1t was all about that Castle in
Spain, that radiant visitors of ITO
ola. that beautiful, dream of Alias
sir,
Which every man has, at some time
in his life, and every woman has
nearly all her life long
That glowing drea moi SUCCESS,
and attainment, and perfect happi'
ness!
And in nearly everybody's heart
he Secret Garden Dream.
Is a dream of doing something
wonderful, beautiful, astonishing
and glorious-that will bring him 8
lot of money!
And then never doing anything
Else for the rest of his life!
(That's why there are SO man!
chicken farms for sale.)
And the sad and funny part OF i
is
That when, or if, he ever DOEs
attain his dream
He discovers that it has no
brought him happiness after all-un
ess it has brought Love with it!
And that all the joy, and all tn
brill, and all the glory, and all tn
zest were in running the race-no
in reaching the goal!
And that it is the vision of tn
ainbow and the struggle to reach II
cot the pot of gold at its end, tina
makes life worth while.
And that nothing is anything un
ess you have somebody to share
with!
And that Kipling was right
When he pictured Paradise as
WORKSHOP where we "shall wor
or an age at a sitting and never b
ired at all"
Instead of a place of eterns
sloth,
"Where all the mornings are Sur
day mornings, and every night

Saturday night"
And that "having nothing to Do"
is Purgatory right here on earth!
And that Kipling was right again,
When he facetiously remarked
that she travels fastest whotravels
alone"
But that travelin all by yourself
is deadly, wearisome sort of thing.
And it's more fun to WALK all
the way, with somebody's hand in
yours,
And somebody's faith in you.
Than to travel de luxe in Twen-
tieth Century Flyer with nobody but
the porter to care whether you ever
"arrive" or not!
And that Utopir, after all, is a
State of Mind.
Bordered on the east by Love, on
the north by Work, on the west by
Hope, and on the south by dreams
And that the most beautiful thing
about Utopia
Is that every step of the way there
is Utopia.
And that if you will stop along
the road long enough to find the
companion of your heart and to gath
err the flowers of sentiment, and no
nance, and happiness, and fresh en-
thusiasms,
Your Dream WILL "come true
Whether you ever reach the Rain
