K. C. INITIATE
38 CANDIDATES
Impressive Ceremonies at Church
and at Home-Dance and Lunch
eon Tendered Guests.
Sunday was a grand occasion for
the Knights of Columbus, when 38
candidates were initiated into the or
der by the Opelousas-Vicksburg team.
Some three hundred Knights were
present, strong delegations coming in
from all surrounding towns. The
visitors were met by the local Knights
at the depot, where a procession was
formed and proceeded to the Home
where the loca candidates were taken
into rank. The procession then con
tinued to St. John's Catholic church
where solemn High Mass was cele
brated. Rev Twellmeyer preaching
a most eloquent and instructive sers
mon on the order of Knights of Co
lumbus, emphasizing Christian Edu
cation, Christian Charity and Chris
tian Conduct as principles for the or
der. The choir led by pastor Rev.
Teurlings rendered Millard's Mass
most effectively and the following par
ticipated: Misses Laurence and Alice
Campbell, Miss Agnes Roy, Miss Pau
line Calllouet and Mrs. F. V. Mouton
soloists; Pierre Gerac, P. J. Voorhies
tenor soloists and F. V. Mouton base
solo.
In the afternoon the exemplication
of the three degrees of Knighthood
took place at the Home and nearly
forty candidates were initiated. Lat
er during the evening the ladies serv
ed luncheon on the High School square
to the Knights and their visitors.
Meantime the young folks enjoyed
themselves at a dance in the Home
to the excellent music of the Lafay
ette Concert Band. The day was
glorious and everyone enjoyed the oc
casion to the fullest extent

will save this community $10,000 per
annum. Some record for an insti
tution not yet out of swaddling
clothes. Nor is this all.
The farmers have been induced to
plant 125 acres of Irish potatoes this
year where only a nominal amount
was planted last year or any year
previous. For the estimated yield of
8,000 bushels a minimum price of $1
has been guaranteed on truck here.
The acreage of sweet potatoes has
been quadrupled over that of pre
ceeding years. Altogether nearly
$50,000 will be brought into the par
ish from these hitherto unprofitable
crops.
But if the record of accomplish
ment seems full, what of the future?
Almost certain is the establishment
of a boat line between Lafayette and
New Orleans, through which freight
charges wiJl be still farther reduced.
Many farmers who were dilatbry
this year have given assarance of
their membership in the growers' and
marketing clubs next year.
Much publicity has ben obtained

Congress today, asking for permission
to use armed force. Congress is

The president was expected to ask
the Senate to pass the volunteer act
already passed by the House provid

vice the militia of the various states.
Special 3:30 p. m.
The president was before Congress
at 3 p. m., but no action had men
taken. A bill had been introduced
giving the president $50,000,000 to

appears no doubt but that Congress

CONTESTANTS FOR
CONVOCATION DAY
CONTSTANTS FOR
[ CONVOCATION DAY.
May 1 is the date set apart for Con
- vocation Day to be held at the Indus
trial School. Of the many interest
ing features to be had that day, the
Declamation Contest is attracting
much' attention of the teachers and
children as a number of they schools
of they parish expect to participate.
Yesterday morning at nine o'clock a
number of children gathered in the
High School auditorium to take part
in a trial contest, the object of which
was that the judges might be able
to select the best speaker to repre
sent the Lafayette High School on
Convocation Day. The trial contest
was as follows:
Marcus Mayers, The Owl Critic;
Frank Dupuis, The Pint With Old
Pete; Edna Landry, An Order for
a Picture; Clara Bell Girard, Jean
Mouton, Joe Lehman, Virginia Buch
anan, The Raven; Edward Jay, A
Threatening Cloud on Our Horizon;
Rose Rosenfleld, James Douglas;
Evelyn Jay, Papa's Letter.
Some of the contestants did so
well that the judges Mmes R. D.
Voorhies and W. A. LeRosen were
somewhat undecided and deemed it
fairer to select Edward Jay, Edna
Landry and Rose Rosenfield as the
three best contestants to appear in
the High School auditorium. Friday
morning at nine o'clock and again
participate in a second contest, after
which Mmes Voorhies and LeRosen
would select the best contestant and

WOMAN versus THE COW.
r It is related that many years ago in a pioneer town out
West there was a debate in the school house- on this remark
able subject:
s
"Resolved, That for a man on a backwoods farm a cow
is of greater value than a woman."
The debate ran along about even until the affirmative
speaker made this remarkable argument. He claimed that
"value" meant money and nothing else, and that, if the crops
failed and the man could not pay interest, he could sell
the cow, while the woman would be an additional expense.
This won the debate for the cow! The judge made his decision
almost as follows: "My sympathy is with the wimmin, but the
money goes on the cow, for, as we all know, sympathy don't
pay any mortgages or buy groceries."
A woman with her face shining with righteous indignation
jumped up in the audience and told how she had, with her own
hands supported a lazy husband and fed a cow and five chil
dren, but the judge decided that her argument did not count, as
she was not one of the selected debaters!
Money certainly goes much further than "sympa
thy" in all the& ordinary dealings of this world, and
women in general will find it of advantage in many
ways to have bank accounts of their own.
This good bank appreciates the business and pat
ronage of women.

WOMAN'S O1FFhAlt
T MEETING TUESDAY
To be Held in Gordow Hotel Parlor
-Miss Jean Gnitpn to Be Pres.
ent.
Tuesday afternoon at four o'clock
the suffrage workers of Lafayette
will meet with Miss Jean Gordon, the
noted 'New Orleans suffragist in the
Tpariorse.of the Gordon hotel foer the
*organy ateon, of a ,alub where the
sentiment in favor of the ..fr
chisement of womankind can be giv
en concrete. and adequate expression.
Miss Gordon is so well known in
Lafa'ette that any description of
her character or work would be trite,
and her two appearances here last
week but served to endear her to our
people, those inimical to, as well as
those who favor the cause she so
brilliantly represents. The problem
itself is one of the livest the people
of this country have to face and we
can imagine no happier auspices un
der which the local campaign could
be launched than under Miss Gor
don's supervision. All those at all
interested should be at the meeting
tomorrow afternoon.
