REMEMBER HER WHO STILL
DREAMS OF THE
"OLD HOME TOWN

Scattered through the cities and
states are hundreds of former resi-
dents of this community whose hearts
are still with US. Their interests and
their homes are in the far-away spot,
but the fond recollections are of The
Herald of old Algiers.
Does mother, does father live in the
next state, or the next, or perhaps
away out there on the Pacific coast?
What is so easy for them to meet with
the friends of old-the folks they
know best and love most-as to take
the home paper regularly? Not a
copy now and then, but welcome Wis
itor every week? In your next letter
give them the benefit of this sugges
ton; or, if you like, send in a sub
scription for them as a pre-Thanks
giving gift.

FRANK DUVIC
is GRANDFATHER

Some people thought that it was on
account of the big aluminium sale that
was so successfully carried out at the
Duvic Hardware Company, that Frank
Duvic wore that big broad smile, but
that aluminium sale sank into insig-
nificance compared to the glad news
he received Monday that he was a
grandfather and of girl, too, because
the Duvic family has always been re
cognized as a family of boys. The lit
tie queen that arrived on Monday
morning is the daughter Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Frank Duvic, Jr., and is re-
ceived with great welcome and re-
light by the parents and grand
parents

DRY GOODS SALE
BEGINS OCTOBER 18th.

Beginning tomorrow, NJ. Bodenger,
corner Seguin and Delaronde streets,
will begin another one of his big sales
which is to continue for fourteen days
or until the special goods set apart for
this sale have been disposed of. Mr..
Bodenger announces that this sale is
made necessary to make room for the
Christmas and fall goods which are
now in the railroad warehouse. There
is not sufficient room for unpacking
in his store. It is for this reason that
he is putting on this big sale with re-
auctions in prices that will no doubt,
bring large crowds to his place of
business. Mr.. Bodenger has made a
big success with his store and enjoys
the distinction of having one Of the
largest stocks on this side Of the
river.

AS Thanksgiving approaches, with
its return of fond recollections Of
father and mother, the old place and
the old Home Town." are We going
to forget that the boy and the girl
and the friend far away there in the
city or the other state, are hungering
for the people and the things Of the
happy old days?
Home" is still the greatest word
in the English language, or any lang
uage, and no matter how rich or how
poor they are who have gone away
from us, their hearts are still tuned
to the fond recollections of yore.
Is your boy or girl off in the city

Cling to make good among the tall

What will bring a fuller hour of joy
to their hearts regularly every week
than the Home Town" paper? And
believe US, the boy or girl, man or
woman who finds happiness in read
ing about the news of old home and
old friends is the man or woman who
is proof against the snares of the

Is there an old neighbor or old

To greet the coming year.
They wished her many blessings,
That JOY would with her stay,
And troubles 90 a-chasing,

As if they danced on air,
Played games, with jests all spread

And supped on dainty fare.

And sparkling with bright lights,
Thus passed the happy hours,
Until all said Good might.

MONSTER PETITION TO COUNCIL.
WILL BE PRESENTED AT
NEXT MEETING FOR
MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP.

A monster petition is now being pre-
pared by the Algiers Ferry Committee.
This petition, fifty sections OF which
have been distributed among our busl-
ness men throughout the city, is be-
ing literally signed, and when pre-
sented to the council will show the
unanimous opinion of the Alglers
people, that municipal ownership OF
our ferries is what they want.
At a recent meeting of the ferry
committee. a committee Of tlve was
appointed to confer with the different
banks regarding the loan of money to
the Algiers Committee for the opera
ton of the ferries. The committees
report, which will be ready in few
DAYS will carry the good news that the
amount of money necessary to take
over the ferries will be offered the
city of New Orleans provided the city
cannot raise the money.
! 1t seems, that under the present con-
ditions, and after many investigations,
that the only method now available to
the city, to taking over the ferries
will be to budget the amount necessary
in the present budget to purchase the
physical property of the ferries and
should this be done it will be one OF
the few budgets that would automat-
ically return to the city the money
il has laid out, as the ferry revenues
would be credited to this budget
Money paid out by the city sci.
dom, if ever, comes back, and
in this case, which is indeed
rare exception, any amount of money
hudgeted for the ferries will not onl!
he returned in full, but will mean u
the city of New Orleans, net revenue
of $4,000 or more month.
The Algiers people have PROVED
their case to the commission counci
and the following petition, copy o
, which is herewith printed, gives as
further reminder that the Algler'
people are unanimous in their dc
: mands.
The petition is as follows; IN
: undersigned residents of the tlttl
: Municipal District, everyone OF whon
5 are compelled to use the local FERRIES
3 desire to record themselves as bein
absolutely, unqualifiedly, and una
1 terably opposed to the unjust ana un

 GIRLS LEAVING HOME
tBy Associated Press)

TACOMA, June 30.-Gossip is re- sponsible for thousands of girls leav- ing their homes and disappearing every year, the Tacoma Women's Christian Temperance Union declared recently when it adopted a pledge not to gossip and also requested other organizations of women to adopt it. t.
 The pledge follows:
 We pledge ourselves not to repeat an ill story about any young girl, and, if any women seem desirous to regain lost responsibility we. promise to aid her by word and inaeEery way we can"
 In asking other organizations of women to endorse the pledge, Mrs. Lola Moss, secretary of the w. c. T. U., declared American women are harsher than those of other nations. Women should show more charity to- ward their sisters, she said.
 Several churches and women's or ganizations already have adopted the pledge.
