The recent action of Hope
Hook 6 Ladder Co. No. l, in di-
y1ding the town into fire districts
was wise move. The COURIER
advocated this measure many
years ago and also advised the or
ganization of the various fire
companies into fire department
under one head, which would in
sure much more effective service
in case of fre-and especially in
case of conflagration, than could
be expected from each company
acting independently of the 9th
ers. Our citizens should familiar
ize themselves with the code OF
fire signals, which will be found
in another column, and thereby
be in position to render prompt
aid to the fremen by at once To-
eating the point of danger. This
is step forward; now let oul
Fire Boys take up the organlza-
tion of fire department for Ope-
lousas; we are sure they will have
the earnest cooperation of oul
Board of Aldermen and citizens
in general.

The effort of any newspaper to
build up a town is practically null
li6ed unless backed up by the
business men of the town. \
stranger turns from the news col
umns of a paper to its advertising
columns, and if he fails to find
there the business cards and pro-
fessional firms he comes to the
conclusion that the editor is not
appreciated, in which case 1t is a
good place to keep away from.
No town ever grew without the
active assistance of its papers.
Nor can papers grow and build up
the town without the assistance
of the town. Business men
should realize this and remember
that in lending support to the pa
per they are not only building up
their own business, but are help
ing to support that which is
steadily working for the growth
of the whole town.-Press and
Printer.

Count de Pradel.

An appreciative audience, COM
posed of people interested in
French poetry and beUes-lettres,
listened with delight to the Count
de Pradel at the Opera House on
last Monday night. This distin-
gulshed gentleman, who besides
being a former lecturer at the
College of France, Paris, has also
occupied exalted positions in the
diplomatic service of his country,
charmed and thrilled his audience
with fine original and selected
compositions for over two hours,
the intermissions being filled with
delightful music by Prof. Mayer
and Miss Latour. His first sub
ject, "Souvenirs d'Orient,' pre-
sented in dramatic manner, held
his listeners spell-bound and en-
thralled for Il full hour, following
closely through Il fearful tragedy
in the harem of Prince Ibrahim. at
Constantinople, of which the
count was an eye witness, Then
some beautiful verses and poetry,
in part translated from the Arab
by the count himself, charmed the
audience, chief among which were
Victor Hugo's "Petit Paul" and
Henri Murger's ''Adieux a Mimi"
These were exquisite; but Sully
Prud d'homme's 'Le Vase Brise"
and "Les Yeux'', Victor Hugo's
"La femme tombee'', and the
talented lecturers own "Bal Ca
role du NIP were, though brief,
no less brilliant gems in the
glittering chain which the count,
with the consummate skill Of the
artist that he is, gracefully un-
wound for the delectation of his
hearers. ''La Vie," a poem of the
counts, crowned by the French
Academy, closed the programme
of this delightful evening, the rec
objection of which will doubtless
impress upon all present the re-
splendenC charms of the sweetest,
the most expressive and the most
beautiful language in all the world,

pital of New Orleans. This in

and since that time has treated
6,235 persons, of which number
1928 were from the country
parishes Of the State. The hos
pital receives no State aid, being
supported entirely b. private sub
scriptions, and the officers and
surgeons give their services gra-
tuitously. In Il circular letter,
the institution declares itself to
be greatly in need of funds to
continue its great work and APP
peals for aid from the authorities
of the parishes and towns of the
State and from all charitably in
clined people. In view of the
fact that such large number of
its patients are from the country
parishes (and these have to be
given board in connection with
treatment), the authorities and
people in those districts should
contribute literally to the support
of the hospital.
