~ move is on foot by lovers of out

Il large and comnodious club house on
Lake Rodcau. near Bellevue bridge.
1t is the intention to make the camp
so inviting generally that one will not
hesitate ut any time to take his family
along and also his friends"
Such permanent camp was erected,
and it's grounds enclosed. and lot
built for horses. but it was from time
to time so abused by the public-any
and everybody. as if rot private prop
erty-that it is not now inviting as IA
camp and did not remain so very long.
But such property would perhaps fare
just the same nearly anywhere - eX-
cept in those districts where camping
cut is a fixed habit of the people and
certain unwritten laws are recognized
by all, as well as by the true sports

The Loan In Ward Two.

MeSsrs r. b. Hill. X. r. Stinson and
w. &. Stinson. comprising the Victory
Liberty Loan committee for Benton
and vicinity, report total subscriptions
to date of $3.50. The quota for Ward
Two is $4,000. and if BOssier City and
vicinity make showing Of as much as
5000 to date the total quota Of Ward
Two is something like 30 per cent in
sight. To the foregoing subscriptions
reported and anticipated) there is to
lie added Ward Two's pro rata share
of the 5000 appropriated for invest
nlent in Victory Loan Notes from the
funds derived from the Bossier Parish
and Shreveport traffic bridge. Our
share will hardly he more than $1,000,
which will still leave us but little
above 10 per cent of our quota Of
$4,000. 1t seems to be up to- the
committee and the people of Ward
Two to do a lot of work and " loosen
ing up between this date and Satur-
day night.
From no section of the parish have
lists Of subscriptions to the loan been
sent in, as heretofore. We have asked
for these. and will yet cheerfully give
them in print in next weeks issue. if
time and space permit. As to the sue
cess of the loan in the parish as Il
whole we are at the time Of going to
press uniformed.

Some people have the idea that in
order to have light from a Delco-
Light plant it is necessary to have
the engine running all the time the
light is on. This is wrong. Under
ordinary conditions you run the
engine to charge your battery and
then take your lights from the hat
terry. AS the engine starts by
pressing a lever and stops auto
nlatically. it is not necessary to de-
vote more than few minutes at

in order to have continuous cleo
trio current for lights and power.
