Business Men See Handicap Of Poor Streets.
Want improvements for Good Of City

do l favor the street improve
ment movement?" queried Mr. Sol
Loeb, speaking to representative
of the Review, "My dear sir, | own
a car, and drive over our present
streets every day. Need I say more
to convince you that I am in favor
of the mover"
The writer was fully convinced,
but stuck around bit Mr.. Loeb
took a few puffs at his "stogie,"
smiled benignantly and continued ::
Il fully approve of the good work
which is being proposed, and I be-
lieve that with everyone working to
meke the proposition reality, l see
no reason why the city should not b.
enjoying the benefits of modern
streets and landings in a very short
time to come"
Mr.. Loeb, like many others in this
city who own automobiles or trucks,
has experienced the fact that streets
such as the city now has to use are
very expensive. The wear and tear
on cars alone amounts to more per
annum than what tax for improving
the streets would entail. The dam
age caused to tires would amount to
several times such tax. For this
reason, paved and gravel streets in
Morgan City would encourage many
people who at present do not own
cars to invest in such. People seek
ing modern places to settle in would
not hesitate to choose Morgan City
as 4 place of abode, and the city
would flourish. All of this Mr.. Loeb
believes, and more. He is manager
of the Opera House, a modern thea
tire which enjoys great popularity,
and he is also member of the firm
of Leopold Loeb & Sons and heavy
property holder. The tax proposed
would cost Mr.. Loeb a pretty penny
IN view OF his extensive property
holdings, but this does not hinder his
support of the movement. He rec
ognizes the fact that everything that
boosts the town indirectly boosts his
interests as we'll as the interests of
all who have invested In realty and
business ventures in this city.
II look upon such a tax as an in.
vestment," said Mr.. Loeb in con-
clusion, "and an investment which
has an absolute guarantee in the fu-
ture of our city"
Mr.. John Fahrenholt, owner of
Fahrenholt's Barber Shop on Rail-
road Avenue, is an ardent supporter
of the move to improve the streets
and landings of the city, and is lend

ing his influence towards the sue
cess of the proposition.
Il am absolutely in favor of the
movement" said Mr.. ]. E. Bass "and
l have every reason to be-" Mr.. Bass
explained that he was forced to use
horse and wagon in addition to his
truck whenever it rained, as the
streets became impossible, and the
horse and light wagon had to be used
as an auxiliary. This entails an ad-
ditional cost, as an extra man has to
be used. The wear and tear on the
truck runs way up in the cost, and
the inconvenience tops off the bad
features of the streets.
'We are paying a toll under pres
'ent conditions much greater than the
cost of good Streets" Mr.. Bass went
on to say, "and without any reason
except the neglect of the property
owners to provide for this. The
streets of Morgan City cost me any,
where from $120 to $500 each year in
wear and tear on my truck and wag-
ons, added to expenses to meet the
emergencies, and loss in shoes and
incidentals. l would gladly put this
amount in improvements for the
streets of the city, because I know
that I would be getting something
in return for the investment, where.
as under present conditions we get
nothing in return"
Mr.. Bass expressed the opinion
that the people. could not stand much
more taxation, but that the propos-
ed tax for bond issue is an absolute
necessity, and that none should
finch when the matter is put up to
them for approval. with long
time bonds, such tax would hardly
be felt, and for that reason l fully
approve of the suggestion" he con-
cluded.
Mr.. M. P. Palmer is very anxious
to see the improvements put in. His
interests are centered In this COM
munity, and he wants to see it 90
ahead. He tells of seeing four cars
begged on Railroad avenue this week,
and deplores such conditions. "The
improvements should have been put
in ten years ago, "he said.

immigration Restrictions
Cause Labor Shortage

Washington, Feb. 8.-Fears of long
continued unemployment were dis
counted today in a statement by the
training service of the Department of
Labor, which predicted that when
agriculture and industrial concerns
get under way in the spring there
will be shortage of several million
men. Manufacturers were urged to
begin at once a training program to
increase the efficiency of the help
they now have in anticipation of the
shortage to come late.
The statement said that practical
cessation of immigration in the last
four years had caused loss of $780,.
600 new inhabitants and that proba-
bly, 100000 American workers would
be under arms in France for many
months.
Similar views were expressed to-
day before the House appropriations
committee by Assistant Secretary
Post and John B. Densmore, director
general of the Federal Employment
Service. They appeared to urge an
appropriation of $l4,OO00OO for the
work of the employment service dur
ing the next fiscal year and a def.
cheney appropriation of $2,5OO,OOO for
this year.

Catle-Iick Campaigns to
Launch 1919 Drive
Against Cattle
Conference at New Orleans will
Start Final Drive to Eradi-
cate Destructive Live
Stock Parasite

Washington, D. c., Feb. 8-Fhe
meeting of Federal cattle-tick in
spectors at New Orleans, February
II to l3, is expected to be the "coun-
Gil of war" that will start the final
big drive in the eradication of the de-
structive enemy of the livestock in
dustry in the South.
The 1ast big drive" will continue
several years, at least, for the FEEDER
al quarantine will not be lifted until
the tick is so far banishcd that it no
longer constitutes a danger, and one
State compulsory dipping law does
not become wholly effective until
1922.
The reason why 1919 is regarded as
marking a new era in the tick fight
is that 1919 is the first year after the
conclusion of fighting in the world
war. In both 1917 and 1918, when the
United States was actively in the con-
flict, new records in tick eradication
were established, despite the demands
of war, and it is believed that with
increasing energy being given to the
tick campaign, it will sweep forward
with momentum never bef IRE equal
led
One phase of the 1919 camp has
been definitely decided and planned.
That is to dip as many cattle as pos
sible in March, when the ticks be-
come active after the cold season.
Heretofore many cattle owners have
waited one or two months before be-
ginning dipping, and the parasites
thus have had several weeks in which
to multiply. Furthermore, cattle be-
gin in March to dispose from winter
ranges or quarters to wider areas
from which it is difficult to gather
them for dipping. The fact that "two
ticks in March mean thousands in
June and millions later" is being i'm
pressed By getting an early start on
the tick, the tick fighters hope to
cut down by many millions the num-
Der of pests active in the summer.
The New Orleans conference it to
be attended by practically all the
Federal inspectors in the tick-infest.
ed States, and by several officials of
the Bureau of Animal Industry,
United States Department of Agri-
culture. The speakers will include
State and Federal officials and Of
ficers and members of agricultural
and livestock organizations. The
conference is to be held at the same
time as the convention Of the South
ern Cattlemen's Association.

Local Business Men will
Operate Barge Line Be-
tween New Orleans
and New Iberia
Will Carry Freight and Pas
sengers from Termi-
nails and Interme-
date Points

Arrangements have practically been
completed for barge line which will
be operated between New Orleans
and New iberia, according to reports.
The gentlemen behind the new line
are Messrs. Jno. A. Pharr and Joe
Chotin of Berwick. These gentlemen
are owners of the steamer J. N. Pharr,
which boat will be used for the work.
The barge "Glenwild" has been char
tered, and arrangements made to ac-
comodate any amount of freight. Pas
sengers will be given first-class ac-
comodations to and from their desti-
nations.
At present there is no other boat
engaged in the packet business be-
tween the points to be covered by
the J. N. Pharr, and there is good
reason to believe that the undertake
ing will prove success. The first
trip will be made on March 1st. The
local wharf and warehouse will be
repaired to meet the requirements of
the shippers and the men operating
the packet line.
This new enterprise will furnish an
advantage to wide-awake business
men that cannot be overlooked,
as it will afford a means of
getting and shipping their products
and freight at much lower rate than
that afforded by railroads.

Morgan City, La.
January Is, 1919.
Dear Club Members;
Instead of the War Service Con-

ave the peace as we planned and
Untitled in helping to win the war.
On Dec s, when the Board of Di-
r,ctors decided to hold the Conven-
tion in February, during the week of
lie Spring Buyers Convention, be-
cause many of the merchants wives
accompany them on this trip to New
Orleans, they thought the epidemic
would be entirely over. AS you know
tie situation since then has been SER
ious, but we are now assured that the
e2idemic is rapidly waning, and we
hope that not one delegate will be
kept away from our convention be-
nuse Of illness, or fear or the influ-
nn.
New Orlean hotels are crowded at
tbs season, but securing rooms need
not worry our delegates for the club
women are to entertain them in their
homes. They are not only looking to
Jouf comfort in this way, but have
planned several delightful entertain
I'll entertainments, for while our
work is serious, the social side is al

yention.

What is to be done with the mon
ey from the sale of Red Cross seals
in Kentucky this year? This in
quiry is heard from many persons
not informed of the fact that most
of the money used to fight tuber-
culosis by the Kentucky Tuberculos-
is Association, to provide visiting
nurses to teach the victims of the
plague and' their families how to
take care OF themselves comes from
the sale of these little Red Cross
Christmas seals every winter.
A visiting nurse in every county
of Kentucky and a dispensary under
the direction OF the aIlest physician
obtainable, besides travelling clinics
to go from county to county where
needed in the fight against tuber-
culosis in the State are the objects
toward which Dr. j. S. Lock, exec
utive secretary of the Kentucky Tu-
berculosis Association, is bending
his energies and which the money
from the sale of Red Cross Christ
mas Seals will make possible, il
enough OF the seals are sold be-
tween December 1, when they are
placed on sale, and December 10,
when the drive for the sale of Red
Cross Christmas Seals in Kentucky
will be finished.

THE LOCAL NEWSPAPER

As our readers well know, and
as our friends who publish papers of
local circulation know, The Ohio
Farmer appreciates the Importance
of having good local weekly, tri-
weekly or daily newspaper. During
the war and the subsequent period
prices of white paper, Of labor and
all kinds of materials that go to
make a publication have increased
so rapidly that they have kept about
two jumps ahead of the publishers
income. Many publications of local
circulation have been forced to dis
continue, at least temporarily. This
is unfortunate for the publisher, but
it is more unfortunate for the COM
munitys Without a good local paper
what channel is there for the news
of the town and the surrounding
country? What greater asset can q
town have than a good, wide-awakc,

TO keep its people in
formed as to the local goings on and
to help mold local public opinion?
The people of places where publica-
lions have been compelled to discon-
tinue should use every effort to get
these local papers on their feet
again; and those which have kept
going, but which may be making a
valiant struggle to keep their heads
above the surface of the economic
puddle, should have the cordial sup
port of the public and the advertis-
ers who seek the trade of the locali-
ty. With all of their increased ex-
penses it has not been possible for
many conscientious publishers to en-
large their income without taking
steps and many of them
are men of such moral caliber that
they hesitate to do this lest it weak
