SOUND THE JUBILEE.
w. G. T. U. To Mako Drive For MIL
lion Dollars and Million
Members

Hand in. hand with its rejoicing
over the ratification of the Federal
Amendment for National Prohibi-
tion and in anticipation of the
reaching of it's fifty years of organi-
nation in 1924, the National W. C..
T. U. will begin a five year Jubilee
program by putting ON a drive for
one million dollars and one million
members, according to plans given
out from the National w. C. T. u.
Headquarters in Evanston, Illinois.
At the Jubilee meetings over
Ratification of Prohibition, being
held in almost every city and town
in the United States, the one body
receiving the most glowing tributes
is the Woman's Christian Temper
ance Union, referred to by the Anti
Saloon League and prohibition
workers as "Our Mother" in the
temperance work. !.
When the Crusaders" that hand
full of pioneer temperance women,
went into the trenches in Hillsboro,
Ohio, in 1873, to Danish the saloons
in that town, they faced storm of
sneers and stones, and literally knelt
in the mud to pray. No prophet
could have foreseen that their cour-
age and prayers would spread like
wild fire and their work be the fore
runner of an organization literally
encircling the world.
Following the Crusaders" in
1874 came the formation of the Ma
tional w. C. T. U. which has now
grown to body of one-half million
members, organized in every state,
territory and territorial possession,
including PHILIPPINE Islands, Hawaii
and Porto Rico, and in more than
forty countries of the world.
Taking a unique motto For God
and Home and Native Land" and
later enlarged to "For God and
Home and Every Land" the w. G.
T. U. early established depart.
ments of Work" covering "Do
Everything Policy" Of its great Lead
er, Frances e. Willard, and has laid
such a broad foundation for con-
tinued service, that stupendous
activities are made obligatory for
the next decade, although one great
objective has been reached through
the ratification of the Federal
Amendment for National Prohibi-
tion.
There is no suggestion or thought
that the work of the organization is
over, and in their Jubilee program
plans are being made which will
cover the world.
All state and territorial presidents
and the National General Secre-
taries of the Young Peoples Branch
and Loyal Temperance Legion will
act as the Jubilee Committee ADJ
visory Board, and Mrs. Frederick b.
Perkins Of Michigan will serve as
Executive Secretary and Director Of
Jubilee Publicity.

THE TOME MEET.
Officials Selected and Other Arrange
ments Completed For Big
Athletic Event.

The arrangements for Tones Big
Spring Meet are now practically
complete. The remaining time tc
May 18th will be mostly occupied
by checking the incoming entries,
placing the large posters and win
dow placards, putting the field and
track in perfect condition. and pre-
pairing extensive accommodations
for the largest crowd and biggest
field of entrees ever gathered at the
School.
The Colchester Company of Bal
timore has contracted to run an
excursion from Baltimore, the
steamer to leave Light Street at
a. m. and to afford room for nine
hundred passengers.
Plans have been carefully laid
for all details of boat, train, and
automobile transportation and for
entertainment, housing and meals.
The plaques, cups, and medals 10 be
awarded have been carefully select
ed and are the best ever offered by
the school.
The committee feels especially
pleased with the selection of officials
who are to carry on the Meet. Lat
robe Cogswell, the president of the
Southern A. A. v. has agreed to act
as clerk of course; George j. Turner
as referee; M. H. Markle as starter
w. j. Leimkehled, c. c.. Seuerlein,
H. F. Ballard, Jas. McCallester, Roy
Peppen and G. III. Katenkamk as
Timers and Judges. These officials,
well known sportsmen are sufficient
in themselves to assure the success
of the Meet.
In the evening after the Meet an
interesting entertainment in Me-
mortal Hall will be provided especi-
ally for the benefit of visitors. The
school is very fortunate to obtain
for the occasion the Johns Hopkin s
University Dramatic Club which
will present Bernard Shaw's "You
Never Can Tell"
The present outlook seems to in
dicate that the Meet of 1919 will
eclipse anything of its kind in the
South.

TO THE VOTERS
OF WARD NINE

| take this method of calling
the attention of thelvoterS of Ward
Nine to the importance of the
Special Election td be held on the
first day of July upon the propo-
sition of levying 4 three mill tax
for the construction and main
tainance of dirt roads and bridges
in Ward Nine.
| desire to state that it will de-
pend upon the manner in which
you vote upon this tax as to
whether or not this ward will
have any funds for dirt roads and
bridges this year.
Under the law and the con-
ditionS which confront us at this
time it has been impossible to
budget any funds at all for dirt
roads and bridges for the follow
ing reasons:
First, the Tick Eradication
work which has been required
to be carried on under the law
has necessitated an expenditure
of approximately $16,OOO.OO pei
year.
Then in the second place under
the new constitutional amend
ment the parish levy is limited tc
Five MilISfor allgeneral purposes
and out of this Five Mill levy the
Police. Jury is forced to set aside
one and one-half mills for the
support and maintenance of the
public schools; this leaves us on
lily three and one-half mills fol
laIl other general purposes; here
Itofore the schools have been malr
tanned by special taxes voted by
the people, hence none of the reg
ular Parish levy has heretofore
been set aside for school purpos
es; this new amendment therefore
cuts our Parish levy to three ant
one-half mills for all purposes
Last year our levy was five ant
one-half mills; you will therefore
readily see that it is out of thu
Question to carry in the bulge
any funds for roads and bridges
! in fact there is scarcely enough
funds to take care of the actua
running expenses of the Parish.
There is therefore only one wa.
to obtain funds for our Ware
dirt roads and bridges and that i
Iby voting a special tax. This OPP
portunity is submitted to tn
voters of the Ward and is open t
their action in the matter.
