DON'T BE AN ANT STACKER
(By Martha PontD

Mrs. ]. f. Huckins, chairman of
the Ant Campaign of the Fifteenth
Ward, reports that Algiers is trying
to do her share to do away with the
Argentine ant, which is a pest to all
families in Algiers and New Orleans.
The Argentine ant causes more
waste than any other insect. II we
would stop for one moment to count
up the different amount of foodstuff
destroyed by this hideous pest. An
other important thing, can we count
up the amount of money we have
spent in our homes to get rid of these
ants.
II we had the money that we spent
on buying ant poison and ant tape
we would be better off by many dol
lars and would have a nice little
sum saved in the bank for a rainy
day.
So let every citizen OF Algiers do
duty in this big campaign and
give as much as we can afford to
causes so much waste.
When the precinct solicitors and
their numerous workers call at your
door and ask you for a donation do
not refuse them. For such a cause
as this you should be proud to give.
II you have not the change the day
the workers call tell them the day
when they can come again and they
will be more than thankful.
Do not shut the doors on their
face when they tell you why they
are collecting as many of our work
ers having been insulted in this way
and many other ways.
Just stop for a moment and think
of the time these ladies have given
for the sake of civic pride. These
ladies are not being paid for this
work. They are doing this because
they have civic pride and interest in
their town. If we had a few more
people in our community like these
ladies Algiers would be better off.
Many of our citizens are OF the
opinion that these ladies are being
paid for canvassing the various
squares, but this is not a fact.
II is the duty Of every citizen to
contribute to this cause. Only those
contributing to this fund will have
their homes protected with the poison.

BEHRMAN SCORED At
ALGIERS MEET OF
new REGULARS
Y. S. Treasury Needed to Repair
Streets Left by Ring, Says
O'Connor

Algiers New Regulars organized
at meeting held in the Fourth
Precinct of the Fifteenth Ward last
Friday night. An enthusiastic repre-.
sentative crowd attended ,he meeting,
which was held at Patterson and Yer
ret streets. The speakers included
! Henry Acker, Judge Wynne Rogers,
]. Arthur Charbonnet, Thomas OCon-
nor, John Merkel and Charles Hantel.
I'VE have done away with the old
system of ward bOsses-let us pre-
vent Behrman from bringing them
back as he is trying TO do" pleaded
one speaker. whose words were re-
ceived with applause.
The first speaker of the meeting
was Judge Wynne Rogers of Section
"E" of the Civil District Court, New
Regular candidate for justice OF the
Supreme Court. He was introduced
| by Henry Acker. Judge Rogers de-
clared that as judge of the Civil Dis
| trict Court he has given all square
deal, shown no favoritism. and that
his judgment has not been swayed
by others.
A tribute to other candidates en-
dorsed by the New Regulars was
paid by Judge Rogers, who declared
he is proud to be associated with
them in the coming campaign. Judge
William A. Bell, he said, is a splendid
man and an efficient Judge, and a
worthy man for judge of the Court
of Appeals. Commenting upon Fran
els Williams, who is a candidate for
public service commissioner to sue
coed himself, Judge Rogers said he
had gone into the office pledged to
do a certain work and that he had
done well.
This new organization" Judge
Rogers said, will win at the polls
on Sept. IL if they work together
and stick together. There is a re-
port that we can't win in the Fiji
teenth Ward, but | don't believe it.
We can win anywhere in the city
Mr.. Acker announced that Francis
Williams, who was scheduled to make
an address, was i'll and unable to
attend. Thomas O'Connor was intro
duced as the representative of Mr..
Williams.
O'Connor aroused the crowd to a
high pitch of enthusiasm as he fired
broadside after broadside at Martin
| Behrman.
! AT the meeting of the Old Reg
ulars last night" he shouted, Banker
Behrman posed as friend Of the
union man. Who was it that voted
| to keep the wages of the striking
union carmen down? Ask Banker
Behrman. When did Banker Behr-
man ever espouse the cause of labor
when a controversy arose between
capital and labor?
Banker Behrman once was shaved
in Algiers. 1t was good enough for
| him then. but now he goes to a
! fashionable hotel and is shaved by

a result of it we now have the right
of free speech and can talk as we
! dare without fear of going to jail for
it, as was the case three years ago.
