ANSWER FOR YOURSELF

Two years ago the Journal made
the prophesy that taxes in this par
ish would be raised by the Pleasant
Thomas scheme-look at your re-
ceipts this year and see how far we
were wrong. Ask your assessor II
the increase is not about 35 per cent.
When you get this information then
look around and find some of the in
creased advantages that you are get
ting. II you are paying more money
you should be receiving more bene'
fits. And really are you getting as
many advantages? You can get the
facts and you can answer the ques
ton. You are more interested II
this issue than you are in destroying
the New Orleans ring, which is thu
issue now proposed to keep the SAM
state officials in control.

COULDN'T RULE BOTH
Ruled Cowboys on His Ranch, Blu
Couldn't Rule Girls
Heart.

Earl Williams makes a most con-
vincing cowboy in the earlier scenes
of 1.-THE Usurper," which will be
seen in the Lyric Theatre on next
Friday. John Maddox (Mr. Williams)
rules his outfit with an iron hand
and when fate allows him to save a
girls life, he tries to rule her heart
also. But he learns his ranch author
ity doesn't count with an English
girl in her own castle and betrothed
to lordship at that.
All of which does not discourage
Maddox, and how he puts the Lord
to flight and wins the girl is told
most effectively in this Earle Will
liams picture.
"The Usurper" as a stage play was
one of the late Nat Goodwin's most
noteworthy successes and none of its
fascination has been lost in the
screening. James Young directed the
picture.

SALVATION ARMY QUOTA

DR.. G. H. Ogbourne, Chairman in
the drive just completed for the Sal

one half Of the quota was raised in
this parish. DR.. Ogbourne stated that
he is pleased with the showing as
he realizes the heavy burden on the
people for this year. They have had
many demands made for charity and
have responded well if we take into
consideration the fact that 1919 will
be one of the shortest crop years ex
perienced in long time.
