I SPONSIBLE FOR THF. RUMOR A rumnor which gained wide cred ence last Sunday afternoon to thle of feet that Mr. A. R. Arceneaux, pro prietor of the Globe Warehouse, haild been drowned in Bayou (hene, ('fluSed much excitement and was Irec sponsible for heroic effort on the pari SnumIlbers of citizens to lii-ta hi, rengains.. The joke would have been highly a ilprc'iatedl if it had not bee th:i sbe rumor got to the ears of Mrs. Ar ceneaux and caused her imuch uneas itness, ultiinmately resultiln inll her e coming ill. Mr. Arceneaux had started out Sunday afternoon to look for some Iogs which he had pastured near the bayou and had taken his gun along hopinn to kill some sea:isonable ca:ine. Near the Bayou Chene bridze he left his car beside the road andt walkedt dlown the bayou to look for prospec tive good hunting place for next win ter when the ducks might become plentiful. Mr. and Mrs. ('has. Bar ker and daughter happliened alon and stopped on the bridge. Miss flar ker saw a commotion in the :water which she took to be a man in the last gtrugles of drowning. The mat ter was reported to Mr. F. A. Arce neaux, who happened to be passinr, 'nd he. noticing the empty car besic the road, recognized it as belongins to A. R. Arceneaux, imediately tel ephoned the information to Welsh. Searching parties left immediately for the scene, making an heroic ef fort to locate the supposedly drown el man, who it happened had in the mean time taken his car and departed for another point on the bayou. He did not know of the anxiety of his mian y friends until he reache 1 town hItt. in the evening. Mr. Areeneaux attributes the wh!le 'excitelmCent to the shape of i nse, whichi he says so much resem. .5· tihe frontal extreml'lLIitV of a gar ish that few lpeople wouldt under or !inary circu mstances he able to make Ihe d isti net ion. Asked about hi. sentiments regarding the matter, he si amn glad to be here to expre-. my great appreciation to mty maany frienits who's interest and thought fulnaee prompted.them to search for ?e. ni :amt also ladi tlhat the dlead came to life to refute the various It lair,m about suicide, for'eaost taonou which being one that the -nw draft regulations had borne too heavy on mny mind. My only :ans wer to this su ggestion is that 'Uncle San' ihas ino truer or braver citizen and note more illing to fight liber MIr. Arceneaux says that he feels no desire whatever to shuffle off this mortal coil. He enjoys exploring the regions along the bayou where w'ild life thrives but has no desire to 'xplore the great unknown. The Journal has no regrets either. it would rather use this space, which (of course had to be filled, for this cheerful mission than to have had to ill it with a lengthy obituary to a departed friend, and thus we wish r. Arcencaux another long lapse with success and joy. FAREWELL PARTY. A farewell party was given at the ,home of MIr. and Mrs. Arthur Ro i'cro last Fritdav night, the 13th, in honor of Ambrose (Nug) Romero, ho left yesterday for the Tulane raining scho!ol in New Orleans. On each guest, as they arrived, wa:s pinned a tiny flag, and blind folded they were required to pin their Hfla, in the proper position on :a tfla staff which was pinned on the wall. Prizes 'were awardled in the c'mlca which created great excite moont. Nut won the first prize, a box of stationery :ndl Mrs. Henry Hayes the booby prize, the kaiser's head, which caused genuine laughter. Dancing was enjoyed throughout the evening and punch served.

Jones, I Schairman of the Welsh branch school committee, and Miss lone Robinson, chairman chapter school committee, the members of the faculty of the, Welsh Highl school met on Tuesday afternoon and organized for the pur pose of doing Juniior Red Cross work in the school this year. Miss Essie .1 ohnson was clected chairman, Miss Ilsie Reeve, secretary, and Miss Ruth McLees, treasurer. The Welsh branch of the Junior ld Cross includes the following1 schools: The Welsh High school, I Welsh Industrial school for negroes, :aid Roanoke. Fenton, Meadow Prair' ic. Smith, Thompson, Woodlawn, Verret, Rice. Bourgeois., and Oak Bayou schools. Miss Ruth McLees, Welsh, La., is I also treasurer of the Welsh branch r and each of the above schools will please forward all money for the Junior Red Cross to her who is re sponsible for all funds and reports directly to the chairman of the chap ter school committee. At least seventy five per cent of the pupils must be enrolled and ev ery school should strive to have ev ery pupil join the Junior Red Cross. The Welsh High school wants a hundred per cent Junior Red Cross auxiliary. The work of re-organiza tion of the pupils will be begun at once in the various departments. As principal of the Welsh High school let me urge every father and mother to see that your son or your daughter pays the 25 cents for enrollment fee promptly. Please do not think that the fee is all we want. We expect your children to really do work for the Red Cross at certain times dur Sing the year. The assignment will be made and the members of the Jun ior Red Cross will get busy and do the work, so please encourage the children and insist that every one of them join now. The enrollpent in-the school for the first week is 820. Parents are urged to start all the children from! 7 to 14 inclusive not later than next Monday. All pupils of the compul sory school law age wlio have not en rolled within two weeks after school opens will be reported to the parish superintendent for failure to comply with the compulsory school law.
