Careless Shampooing
Spoils the Hair

Soap should be used very carefully,
II you want to keep your halr looking
its best. Most soaps and prepared
shampoos contain too much alkali.
This dries the scalp, makes the hair
brittle, and ruins 1t.
The best thing for steady use Is
Mulsihed cocoanut oil shampoo
(which is pure and greaseless), and
is better than anything else you can
use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply
moisten the hair with water and rub

lafourche Has No
National Loan Ass'n.

This parish is possibly in a
fclass by itself in that it has no
where within it's confines a local
National Loan Association con-
nected with the Federal Loan
Bank system. An individual
from this parish has no alterna-
tive but to affiliate with the La
badieville Association. So far
there have been only two such
loans fioated in this parish, one
already completed, the other
practically closed--the mortgage
recorded, making the second in
the parish. The second loan has
been pending and has been in
process of being allowed since
the beginning of this year, in
the early days of March at the
latest and we are now in August.
A recent statement that q loan
was applied for and closed in II
days is not in the class of the
last loan in this parish. The
fact is that interest on the last
loaii in this parish accrued for
thirteen days before the act of
mortgage was signed, for inter-
est started on July 18th, and the
was signed on the
18th. The delay was not on the
part of the borrower nor of the
egal department, as the record
will evidence. 1t is some red
ape but it is a pretty transac-
ion nevertheless. If any ten
,eople are interested we can

ASSOCIATION TO
HOLD MEETING

Judging from advance talk
and preparation the next regu'
lar meeting of the Association
of Commerce, which will be held
Tuesday of week after next, the
18th instant, should be full of
interesting arguments for the
future development of this Sec
tion of the parish and the town.
Different members have advised
Secretary-Manager, DR.. H. S.
Smith, of the various subjects
they propose to bring up for dis
cussion and action and that off,
cial has, under the laws of the
1ganizat4tE given the entire
membership the full fifteen days
notice, apprising them that the
following subjects will be dis
cussed, to-wit:
Chacahoula Road; Hotel;
Homestead; Association; Gre
matory for garbage and sewage.
Every subject mentioned, as
will be noted is one of moment
and of consequence to the COM
they are beyond discus
sion being imperative necessi-
ties, and that there should be a
unanimity of opinion is without
doubt. The big question will be
the ways and means to bring
them about. We are pleased to
state that we have repeatedly
each and every subject
to be considered and discussed
Them in these columns at length.
In this issue, before receiving
OUR notices we had already ex-
pressed ourselves on the ques-
ion of hotel and the necessity
therefor.

Looks. Like It
Is For New Hotel,

Rumors are persistent at this
writing and have been all the
week, to the effect that some
one is interested in the construc
tion of a modern, up to date no.
tel, some where in this town.
Just where it is no one is in po-
sition to say, but that there are
steps on foot towards this end
and that different sites are be-
ing investigated there is no
doubt.
No one however seems willing
to state or even venture a guess
as to who are the interested par
ties, no one knows just what
they propose and what their
plans are in the premises. Every
body is hoping something will
happen. Several transfers of
property were in the baking dur
ing the week, none of which
made, in so far as we were in
formed.

Another gas we'll with the
most extensive paying qualities
and an abundance of gas is re-
ported from Terrebonne,
brought in by the Atlas Oil Co.
1t appears however that compa-
MES do not know what to do
with the product when they get
it---eXcept the Standard Oil Co.
It avails very little to be finding
oil, and gas, as we are told, and
as investors fall for the stock,
and get no results or dividends.
Oil and gas no not do any good,
unless marketable. Possibly it
is the increase of the product
that hoists the price. The Stan
dard raised the pay of its en-
ployes and this week oil is high
er than it has ever been in ten
years.

Corn Crop Will
Not Be So Bad

According to reliable informa-
ton reaching us the corn crop
this year due to increased
acreage over previous years, will
possibly be as gooo as the
average crsp in ordinary years.
It is given as certain that there
will be twenty five per cent more
corn sold in this parish by the
growers than there was last
year. Instead of 60 per cent of
what is made being sold as last
year IS pei cent Of what is
made will be sold andthat will
be rs per cent more for sale than
there was last year.

POLITICS TRY HARD
TO GET START

This week saw extraordinary
efforts on the part of those who
play politics for all they can get
out of it, for the livelihood it af-
fords them, to get the big game
started. Despite all efforts it
appears the public would not
warm up to the game. In the
words of Horace Mangham, it
appears Hewitt s inability to get
his political starter working,
may leave him at the post. Col.
Frank Stubbs the biggest candi-
date for Governor, so far an
nounced, had conference of his
friends and advisers in New Or
leans this week. Governor j.
Y. Sanders is also in the state
and announced he would be in
the game for good until the gu
bernatorial campaign closed.
The other candidates got some
newspaper space, but beyond
the usual stuff handed out their
cause does not seem to be advanc
ing or progressing as much as
they would like. Truly the week
has been for Col. Stubbs, If 1t
has been any ones. Bouar1-
chaud's failure to positively an
nounce is not doing his candida
cy any good, if he ever intends
getting in the race.
The way the argument going
on in New Orleans anent vice
conditions is being agitated one
would think that vice is some
thing new and that New Orleans
is the only city so afflicted. Doe

or because the war was declar-

Shorter Road To

A good practical, 365 day
Short and ever ready for use
roadway to New Orleans seems
to be needed and is generally be-
ing commented upon in these
parts. On last Sunday several
cars diverted from the River
came to Thibodaux, to avoid fol-
lowing the bad roads on the Ri
yer, and when reaching here re-
mained several days before they
would attempt the trip over the
roadway via Raceland and Des
Allemands. 1t is all well and
good until one leaves Lafourche
parish, when the road through
the swamp it is said, is not what
it should be save in exceptional
ly good weather. A 3-ton truck
last week went over the road
and there were some ruts follow
ing in it's tracks, it returned Sun
day afternoon, what happened
we do not know.

therefore has started talk forl

was formerly the old Military
