"These men gathered In Washington
and President Harding opened the
conference himself. On the platform
with him were Secretaries Hoover and
Davis Now, couldn't very we'll tell
the story without reading you some OF
the things the President Said. This
statement will help US all grasp the
situation. Listen:
"'There Is always unemployment.
Under most fortunate conditions, | am
told, there are a million and half In
the United States who are not at work.
But there is excessive unemployment
today and we are concerned, not alone
about its dimnution, but we are frank
" anxious, under the involved condi-
lions lest 1t grow worse, with hard
ships on the winter season soon to be
met
President Harding shows US that
the situation is bad, but he also shows
that unemployment is all about us
even in the best times. Knowing the
situation is serious, he has not waited.
Neither is he afraid to go after a rem
edy. He said:
There are no problems affecting
our national life and the welfare Of the
american people, which we cannot and
will not solve. IF WE FAIL TO-DAY
WE WILL TRY AGAIN TOMORROW
at is just as he pointed out in an
other part of his opening address. This
conference Of American business men
did not have to worry about the social
system fthe United States. America
. was built solid along those lines by
the fathers, and that is why our coun-
, try is so strong today. All that Is
; wrong IS, as President Harding said
, that
"'We are merely depressed after the

to know the way to speediest and de-

"Yes, but there are always men out
Of work. You don't know everything"
retorted Jack, who was having 1t not
and heavy with Freddies about unem-
ployment throughout the United states
81 guess maybe you'd better read a lit
tie bit about things before you start
blowing up! Sure there are men out
of work, a lot of 'em. There always
are after a horrible war like we went
through. There isn't country in the
world but that is having the same
trouble"
"That's all right, jack replied
Freddie, "but why don't you Repub-
licans do something about it,
Listen to me, Freddie" came back
Jack. There is no use arguing with
YOU about this thing because you won't
see the truth even when it is proved to
YOU. But don't forget that this men,
out-of-work business didn't happen
over night! 1t goes back a long ways
into the days when your bunch was
trimmings the government. That's over
now so won't talk about it, but III
get Uncle Ted out here to tell you
what my bunch is doing to help TINS
situation"
And so Jack made a bee line LOT
Uncle Ted and, as usual succeeded IN
dragging him away long enough to tell
them all q story-this time about wha'
is being done in Washington to solve
the problem of unemployment.
"Kiddies," began Uncle Ted, there

MERGE Hoover, and Secretary or Lapo'

siders nothing too big to tackle II
means helping this wonderful countr
of ours to get back on its feet in ever

discussed this matter, President HARD

JOHN NICHOLSON OGDEN

The many friends Of the Ogden fam
lily in Opelousas and surrounding terri
tory were panied Sunday to hear of the
death of John Nicholson Ogden, aged
40 years, which occurred at sanitasi-
UNI in Alexandria that day. The re-
mains were brought to Opelousas. his
boyhood home and where his father
and mother are buried, and inferred
Monday morning with the funeral ce--
emonies OF the Order OF Elks, of
which he had long been a member.
John Ogden was one of the most lik-
able men tina lever lived. His entire
life was smile and every word a jov-
ial one for friend and acquaintance
alike. Born here. the son of an illus
trious father and gentle mother, he
showed every characteristic of being
a true descendant of the famous Ogden
and Thos sson families whose blood
ran in his veins. His passing is indeed
regrettable though his demise was not
altogether unexpected, for he had been
Ill for several years and had retired
from active business. Leaving Ope-
lousas he resided for time with his
brother, Hon. Percy T. Og1en district
attorney of the Acadia-Lafayette dis
trict, and some ten months ago went
to Alexandria to live with his sister.
Mrs. White.
His father was Hon. John Nash og-
den, for several terms district attor-
ney here, a brilliant lawyer and elo-
quent orator. The Ogden family was
and is noted one in Louisiana and
has been prominent in the public eve
Tor generations. His mother was Miss
Celeste Thompson, daughter of the
late Colonel Thompson, one time sher-
III OF st. Landry. She was a sister of
the late Colonel J. j. Thompson. state
senator from this district for several
terms; also Of the late DR.. w. NJ.
Thompson and the late Jeff Thompson.
A sister, Mrs. Cappell, died several
years ago in Marksville.
John Ogden leaves two brothers and
.severa sisters to mourn his passing,
namely, Mrs. Nuna Ogden Carmouche
of Crowley; Mrs. Mabel Ogden White
of Alexandria; Percy T. Ogden of
Crowley; Carlton N. Ogden of Hous-
ton, Texas; Mrs. Peyton Splane of
Washington, La; Misses Celeste and
Floy Ogden of Crowley and Opelousas.

BIG MUSICAL SHOW COMING
TO BATON ROUGE SOON

The biggest musical attraction that
has invaded this section since pre-
war days is now en- route from San
Francisco and Los Angeles to New
York. Theatre-goers in this section
Will have an opportunity to see this
attraction, the Marcus Show Of 1920
during its engagement in Baton
Rouge at the Elks Theatre, January
22nd.
There are nearly one hundred per-
sons engaged. Many OF these are the
famous Marcus Peaches. There is a
special orchestra and it requires a
special train of three baggage cars
and an equal number Of Pullmans to
transport the big organization.
Not in years has an attraction made
such an unqualified hit on the Coast
as that enjoyed by the Marcus Show.
But few cities are being visited be-
tween the Coast and New York where
the Marcus Show inaugurates it's met
ropoIitan engagement early next
month.
In commenting on the attraction the
San Francisco Examiner OF Septem-
Der q, had the following to say:
"a musical Revue with a sort of in
door circus tone and liveliness Of &C
ton, the Marcus Show of 1920, won
the approval of an audience that last
night filled the Columbia.
Girls, gorgeous costumes and agee-
able comedy are the features, and
though it seems to have been the in
tention of the producers to give an
advance impression that the show
might engage the attention Of the cen
sor, if such an official still be among
! US, there was nothing to seriously
warrant objection.
1t must have cost the managers a
lot Of money to bring this big organi-
cation Of girls out from the East with
| the higher railroad rates now in force.
Considerable has been saved by do
ing away with tights but this item
alone cannot offset the increased
transportation charges. There must
be sixty or seventy people in the com
pany being Klaw & Erlangered over

Really, it is an astonishing show

after all, the girls and costumes,
with the vivid and artistic lighting eff
fects and stage pictures, such as the
Birth of Venus. are what lend import
ance to the show. The costumes Ger
tainly are daring, and the girls have
