RELATES INCIDENTS
OF WINNIPEG TRIP
Secretary hilbert Praises WhoIeheart-
ed Hospitality Extended Them
Throughout Whole Trip

What Louisiana lacks to be a ban
mer state In its part of the Jefferson
Highway is more attention to the dirt
portions of the road was the opinion
expressed by R. D. hilbert of Bunkie,
La, secretary of the Louisiana Diyi-
;.sIOn of the jefferson Highway, while
passing through New Orleans en- route
home from the ~sociability automobile
al to Winnipeg.
Governor R. G. Pleasant returned
with Mr.. hilbert. They had come back
&aas far at st. Paul in their car and there
ashipped the automobile while they
gDok a train for Chicago.
Both tourists appeared delighted
-sgS&h the trip. 1T was wonderful"
SrRsy said. ut wal certainly surpris-
hE what keen interest in good roads
zand especially the Jefferson Highway
We found all along the line. We had
esRe ovation after another.
ut is true as stated by Duncan
bale, state highway engineer, that

SELECT AGGRESSIVE MEN

The Monroe News-Star suggests
editorially the selection of aggressive
men for office-representatives for IN
stance; but the needs OF today are
men who are not only aggressive but
of broad views and progressive. There
have been and there are now too
MANY men in office, who are always
seeking the side offering the least re-
sistance.
During the next four years this
nation will be face to face with pro-
blems of the greatest and grayest
Importance and it necessarily follows
that Louisiana as one of the leading
and vitality interested states, will be
expected to play a leading part in re-
adjusting national affairs and in meet
ing conditions developed by the world
war. There are many matter which
must be solved before we can hope
to occupy our proper position as one
of the aggressive states of the union
and Ouaehita parish must send its
best and most capable men to repre-
sent us in the deliberations that must
ensue before action is taken in leg
islative halls"
This applies to Caddo as well as
every parish of the state. Aggressive,
intelligent men should represent the
south, from governor 10 constable.

Louisiana is perhaps second among
the states traversed by the highway
In mileage OF hard-surfaced road. But
what makes it so difficult for the
tourists in this state as compared
with other states, srch as Kansas,
Missoori and Iowa. is we pay little
or no attention t o,he maintenance of
our DIRT roads.
The states further North, we OBJ
served. care for tacir dirt roads quite
as scrupulously as they Go for their
hard surfaced thorougkfares." Mr.. Nj
bert said.
Mr.. hilbert said he theaght it would
be an excellent thing for those inter
eeted in the Jefferson Highway to con-
duct a campaign for the improvement
of the dirt portions enc a couple of
swamp seciicns " the road between
New Orleans and Shreveport.
"This." Mr. hilbert declared, would
make Louisiana a banner Jefferson
highway state This would result in
the visit Of many Eortherners to our
state during the winter season. We
had many to promise US they would
visit Louisiana this Writer if they
could be assured Ct good roads for the
trip"

Not Responsible

An attorney was defending a man
charged by his wife with desertion.
For a time it looked as though it were
a cinch for the prosecution, but at the
psychological moment the attorney
called the defendant to the stand.
Take of that bandage," he cried,
and the man did 1t, exposing a black
eye. "Your honor" said the attorn-
ney, "our defense is that this man is
not a deserter; he's a refugee AR
gonaut.

GETS HIS LIQUOR BY BORING
INTO FREIGHT CAR FLOOR

Baltimore, Md sealed and lock-
ed freight car has no terrors at least
for one enterprising bibuli, who was
tipped off that said car contained sixty
barrels of high proof liquor with mil
lions Of kicks. 1t required but a mo-
ment for the fortunately informed one
to procure a brace and bit and make
an immediate attack upon the floor of
the, car by boring through and pune
turing the bottom of a barrel filled
with the rare fluid.
The energetic one who had been
tortured for days of Nightmares Of
the prohibition enforcement, filled re-
eeptacles with more than fifty gallons
of rye and probably only stopped this
labor of love when his game was dis
covered by an employee of the Pen
n~sylvania Railroad. The bored hole
was neatly plugged with a piece of
broomstick.
The liquor was the property of the
Stewart Distillery Co.

question an issue in many congressional
districts.
Industrial conditions resultant upon
the inception of prohibition have been
in large measure anticipated. The
end of the use of grain and other ma
terials in distilleries necessarily meant
the closing of such places when ma
terials in process of manufacture were
worked up, and in the abnormal condi-
tions of the time the distribution of the
workers caused little, if any, disturb
ance The breweries, too, though in less
degree, have already made partial ad
justments and ae being converted into
plants for a variety of usses, as cold
storage plants, packing houses, ice
factories, canneries, creameries, factor
les for the production of soft drinks, ice
cream, srup, paint, sop and chemicals
A large development is forecast in
the production of denatured alcohol for
industrial purposes using for this pur-
pose many products not suitable for the
m a n uf ac ture of spirits for
beverage use. 1t has been estimated
that the produce of 100000 acres of
land will become available for food in

facture of intoxicants.

UNIQUE TINY TOWN" IS
FEATURE Of M|SSOUR|S
BUILD NOW CAMPAIGN

Tiny Town, Lilliputian city with
grouping of houses and landscape gar
dening, is to be built in Springfield,
Mo.
The city is to occupy a subdivision.
1920 by 1850 feet, with a 120,foot
boulevard, and 700 contracts have been
let. The wholesale construction prof.
ect is in charge of the students of the
city manual training school, and they
are now working hard to complete
model churches, schools and beautiful
residences.
Tiny Town is an enterprise under
taken as part of Springfields Build
Now" campaign. THE plan is to in
terest the community in homecoming
through the school children" says the
report sent TO the United States De
partment of Labor by the Chamber of
Commerce. I'VE intend to build a minia.
ture city with everything complete and
have it installed in our convention hall
with real grass growing in the yards
and parkways. The Build Now Com
mttee of the Chamber of Commerce is
furnishing all the material for the con-
structon of Tiny Town and is provid-
ing prizes in money that will aggre.
gate at least 5000"
The ascale of Tiny Town is half an
inch to the foot Each boy will receive
as assignment of a tract of ground to
suit the improvements that he agrees
to undertake and building permits will
specify the materials to be used. Some
of the pupils will erect churches and
schools. A power plant, street car
system, and other public utilities will
be installed. But interest focuses in
the homes. Sixth and seventh grade
pupils are vying with high school stu
dents in the planning and building OF
bungalows and garages.

art classes interested in building Tiny

schemes, floor coverings, and furnish

showing four walls in chart form drawn
by scale. Wall paper, window draper

the floors will show furniture ar
rangements with samples of upholtering
in fabrics that carry out the ideas ex

Grafton branch of the project will be
intrusted to the girls, who will make
estimates of the costs involvel in furn-

Landscape gardening will occupy
much attention, the idea being to Illus

INDUSTRY IS BEING
ADAPTED RAPIDLY To
PROHIBITION STATUS

Despite the various efforts to stay
there is in progress Il pretty general
adaptation of the manufacturing prop
critics to other industrial uses, is the
conclusion of Lindley d. Clark, in an
article of the subject which is to ap-
pear in the forthcoming Monthly Labor
Review for June. To some extent at
least Mr.. Clark finds, barroom fixtures
will be found available for continued
use, and the poor mans club" as the
saloon has been called by various
classes of persons, will be still avail
able if initiated plans prove successful.
These plans contemplate the trans
forming of the saloons into places
where soft drinks may be sold and re
freshments served by former bartend-
ers. The Salvation Army has already
made "A beginning in this line of work
in Baltimore and New York, and it's
extension is in view for the large cities
of the country
Mention is made of two efforts that
are now under way to stay the effect
of the prohibition amendment that has
legally been adopted by 45 of the As
States. The first attempt in an attack
on the authority of the legislatures in
those States which have the referen-
dunn to ratify the amendment. The
argument on which such line Of pro
cedure is based is that under the ref
erendum the legislative authority of
the States is reserved to the people and
the legislature may not ratify if ref.
erendum is invoked.
The other line of atatck rests upon a
resolution adopted by the Legislative
of Rhode Island in which the attorney
general of that States was directed to
begin action in the name Of the State
to contest the constitutionality of the
amendment as an infringement upon
the police power of the tSate and "con.
trary to the spirit and system of the
dual form of government erected by the
Constitution"
Title encouragement is held out to
those who hope sentiment among the
returning soldiers will effect a repeatl
of the prohibition amendment The
remark has been frequently made that
when the soldiers return to civil life
there will be Il vigorous and effective
protest against the action taken in
their absence. No real preponderance
of opinion has been obtained on this
point, but both friends and opponents
of the measure confidently announce
enthusiastic approval or disapproval of
their respective views by the soldiers
with whom they have come into contact.
1t seems reasonable to assume that
as they represent the whole erea of
the country, so also do they represent
the diverse opinions in an acreage
ratio, and that nc unity of action is
to be expected from them on this or
any similar question on which men diff
fer. Furthermore. the Congress which
submitted the amendment was elected
