The Ladies Club was delightfully."-
entertained last Tuesday at the
home of Mrs B, J, Pe'lerin. Al
ter the completion of the regular
business, the literary programme
was taken up. The reign of Henry
the VI was the subject in History
for discussion, and with Miss Nc
Laurin as instructor an interesting
and comprehensive study was made
of the period from 1922 to 146I-
A very cleverlv written character
sketch by Miss Ramsey in which
the name of the person described
was omitted, demanded close at
tention and general Frightening
up on biographical facts concern
ing our public men; after the dis
cdssion of the paper it was decided
that Renj amin Franklin was the
parsonage described which proved
to be cOrrects
The programme and meeting
was closed with a most interesting
review of Current, Events. by
Mrs. T. M. Biossat in which al
the most prominent happenings
for the past month were brought
again to mind.
The Ladies were then ushered
into the dining room where the
hostess presided at most daintily
served luncheon Of strawberries
cream and cakes, and a most plea.
SAINT half hour was wl1iled away i:
conversation, and on leaving each
expressed herself as having en-.
joyed a most pleasant afternoon.

Many people will no doubt be
interested to know that the great
poet Of the Sierras, Joaquin Miller
will return here, on April 10th.
His lecture is one of the entertain
ments Of the Star Course; and it
is safe to say will impress those
who may have the good fortune to
hear it as favorably as did the
"Boston Concert. - Don't over
look the fact however that Joaquin
Miller is a distinguished poet as
we'll as one of the most unique
characters in American history,
and there are those who would put
themselves to some little trouble
simply to be able to say hereafter.
Il once heard him lecture.'

Il was on the point OF giving
up, when my wife stamped down
her foot and would not allow any
such action on my part. She stood
by me day after day, and eacourag-

despair more and more. | fancied

myself for wanting to quit. Thus,

tions. | continued to bore until
that memorable day an. To-

there. She soon came hurrying
over to the gusher, and the loo.;
Of joy which illumined her coun-
tenance was reward sufficient for
all the worry and work had gone
through.
latter the delightful experience
of witnessing oil come forth from
the ground at the rate OF $1,000
barrels day, fresh worries came
to torment me. How to stop that
oil from going to waste was the
next piece of hard work There
was no rest or sleep for me until
the we'll was closed. | was fearful
lest the discovery might eventuate
after all into a curse instead Of a
blessing. II that fluid should take
fire it would mean the utter de-
molishment of the entire town.
After ten days OF solid torment aud
anxiety, my experience with hy-
draulic schemes served me well,
and succeeded in Gaping it.

confidence in the resources yet pos
sible in Eastern Texas and West
ern Louisiana. He said:

1--WE have placed an order for
100 tank cars with capacity OF
100 barrels each, half of the num-
Der being already completed. We
are having constructed many oil
barges.
'Some Of these barges are of
light draft and will be able to
penetrate the bayous and rivers OF
the Gulf States, where they will
supply the wants OF the planters
and the sawmill owners. We will
be able to load 4ooo-ton steamer
in twenty-four hours. We will
soon be in competition with the
Baku, Russia, oil fields, which
were the most stupendous in the
world up to the present time. Our
boats will carry oil to Mexico,

all other countries where fuel is ex-

''It is a case nov with Us Of

ALL ABOUT THE OIL.

'tLouisiana and Texas contain
enough oil, to illuminate, grease
and heat the world said A. F.
Lucas, the discoyerer Of the re-
nowned "Lucas gusher,' = in Beau
mont, at the St. Charles yesterday
afternoon.
''For the present and immediate
future we will have to be contented
with supplying the world with fuel.
We will start in to educate the peo-
ple Of the South to use oil fnr heat
ing. purposes and then other parts
of the world will be conquered by
the oil producers in similar man
ner. 1t would not pay Us to re-
fine the Texas oil for Illuminating
purposes. We are willing to let
we'll enough alone and have it used
exclusively for fuel purposes
Later Oh we may produce lubrica-
ting and Illuminating oils.
Mr.. Lucas has returned from
trip to Pittsburg, where he has
been in consultation with Messrs.
Guffey and Galley, his associates in
the oil business in Texas. Mr..
Galley is just recovering from Sc
we're illness, and the consultations
in Pittsburg were held in his bed
room. At that meeting it was ar
ranged to expend several millions
of dollars in developing the Beau
mont oil interests by means OF pipe
lines, tanks, tank steamers and bar
ees and cars. Messrs. Guffey and
Galley, who are the hnanciers Of
the oil operations started in and
around Beaumont, advised Mr.,
Lucas to proceed with the develop
ment Of their 1000 acres OF oil
land property, regardless OF ex-
pense
Mr.. Lucas talked very interest
ingly Of the oil fields in Louisiana
and Texas at the St. Charles yes
terday. He said:
1--WE have wells at Beaumont
that come in heads, or in other
words the oil comes in by spurts,
which in my opinion assures a long
continued flow. Louisiana and
Texas will become the noted oil
fields OF the world in time In
West Louisiana the prospects are
exceedingly bright. | bored a
well at Breanx Bridge, La, a.year
and a half ago, and struck oil. |
didn't finish that well, as the funds
OF the company backing me sud-
denly ran short There was no
doubt about my success in that
undertaking, if ! had only been
given the proper financial assist
ance to carry my explorations
through to finish ! discovered
enough in that experience to satisfy
me that there was plenty Of oil il
Western Louisiana.
After we have developed ou
fuel oil interests in and aroune
| will seek to discove
other grades Of oil in either Louis
lana or Texas. | expect to fine
enough Of the refined products te

this will take time but am con
fident OF success in my undertaking
The fuel question in the Soutt
will soon be eliminated. To tha
end we are putting up twenty s.,
ooo-barrel tanks in Port Arthur
which port has already been con
nected with Beaumont by pip
line. The diameter Of those tank
IS 40 feet and their height IS fee

CLOSING OF THE SCHOOLS.

The sudden order for the closing of
the Public Schools On the Il h., in
stant has caused great disappointment
to teachers, pupils and the public
alike. on account of The bretity of tn,
present session, and some are wont to
hold the School B 'ard responsible for
this conl;iion.
In order to correct any erroneous
impression in the public mind con-
cerning the action Of The School Board
in this. connection it is only necpa asary
to explain th,t the Board is proc bit
ed by law fram contracting debts b.
y'nd IFS present ability TO liqni'ate.
1t is a wise provision uf The law to
prevent Boards Of E1ncation from be-
coming iAvolvetl in debt, often mex
tricab'y, and rhareby seriously impair,
ing this mos. important branch of The
public service.
Il was source Of deep regret to the
School B ,arl til It the necessity arose
for bringing the current scholastic
term to such an easly close, bn. the
] Board is convinced that by placing
thu public school system Of the parish
on :, cash basis for the Future. there
will result longer sessions and more
wild spread benefits to the people.
Til: Board recognizes the need Of HI
awakening in our parish to The ad
vanced position attained in the work
of education tbs Wpill over, and il
hall be the aim of the Board to make
the best use possible of the means al
its command to equip the youth of
our parish for the serious business of
life. In its Efforts to foster the ean-
cational interests Of the parish of La
/ fayette the school auth critics are de.

and without their corporation the best
Efforts of the school aulh>ri,ies are
