The first Of May-May Day
was ushered in by Jack Frost, an
occurrence unknown in this section
The weather man warned US that
Jack would be In the land i'm the
morning, but it looked SO unrea-
sonable that few people paid any
attention to the note OF warning
Early risers, however, can testify
with Mr.. Weather Man, that light
frost In May is possible.
A welcome rain visited this
section Wednesday night, making
glad the hearts of the farmer and
housewife. The rainfall was gen.
eral throughout the parish, and al
though not sufficient, was great
help to the parched earth, and to
the young plants struggling to
pierce their heads through the hard
ciods.
Attention is called to thechange
i'm the advertisement of the st.
Landry State Bank. 1t will be seen
that Mr.. Jonas Jacobs is now CASH
ier, Mr. Il. Castillo, assistant CASH
ier, and Mr.. Jos. NJ. Boagni, MEM
ber of the board Of directors, instead
OF Mr.. DieItein, who has moved to
New Iberia. Mr.. Jacobs, the new
cashier, has been u faithful officer
of the st. Landry Bank since the
establishment Of that institution,
working up from the position OF
runner to the present one. He has
always been recognized as an effi-
cient, painstaking, polite official,
which makes his promotion well
received by all. He has an able as

DIR. Arthur Gardiner of Bristol
this parish, was elected seventh
vice-president of the Louisiana
State Medical Society, which body
has just adjourned. Dr. Gardiner
is bright young man, and the
Clarion is gratified at this evidence
OF appreciation on the part OF his
brothers in the profession.
Messrs Ike Liehtenstein and r III
Fulton, of New Orleans, spent sew
eral days in Opelousas this week
looking after business matters. MIR.
Lichtenstein is largely interested
in this section OF the state, being
interested i'm at least one bank in
every town. He is largely inter
ested in rice, aud owns valuable
rice mill stock in Crowley, Rayne,
Lake Charles, Gueydan, Abbeviile,
etc. Mr.. Fulton is the manager of
the Commercial National Bank, of
New Orleans. Mr.. Lichtenstein is
dear to the hearts of the local mil
itia boys, as he is the one who came
forth as q ministering angel when
they were hurdled up In a mosquito
den and being fed on poisson fesan-
te and rotten meat in New Orleans,
Curing the strike last year. The
boys remembers his many atten-
tions, and at the drill Tuesday
night, unanimously voted supper
to be given in his honor, as a mark
of esteem and appreciation. But
the gentlemen had to leave the
next day, and the supper was post
poned.
MIR. L. J. Dossmann has the
thanks of the Clarion force for a

MEN NoRTH AND soIITH.

We are asked why it is that men
have more push and vim in the north
than they do in the southern states.
There are several good reasons. One is
that man in order to live does not
have to work as hard in the south as
in the north. He has much longer
season in which to do his work also.
The northern man, whether he feels
like it or not no matter how born tired
he may be, has just got to hustle dur
ing the short summer to keep from
starving and freezing during the long
cold winter. 1t is n clear case Of work
or starve with him. Then the climate
of the south is to certain extent en-
ervating, predisposing men to take
things easy, which for us has rare
charm contrasted with the dreadful
rush, push and fret connected with the
northern way of doing all kinds Of
business. We know of not few men
who, could they have their way, would
have the hearse go at full trot to the
cemetery when it carried them there.
We like enterprise and progress and
all that. but we often think more mod
crate ways of doing business would
conduce much to the happiness OF
northern men.

FOREST WASTES.

The reckless and wanton waste con-
nected with the removal of our forest
timber looks as though no one realized
that 100 years from now men will
want trees more than they do now. The
newspapers of the country which are
made wholly out Of these ravaged for
ests should at least plead for a more
intelligent and economical method Of
forestry. 1t should not be forgotten
that the nations which have cut trees
and not planted them-Spain, Greece,
Portugal, Italy and others-are today
paying the bitter penalty while Eng
land, France and Germany, which care
for their forests with solicitude and in
telligence, are the progressive peoples
of the old world. There is far more to
a tree than its market value in board
measure or as fuel-important ques-
tons of soil fertility. conservation of
rainfall and temperature which affect
the life Of all the people.

How far are we from Vera Cruz,

about % miles, Mr.. Carmody."

1T is now $3.50 o'clock We will be

been seriously menaced by my alb
sence, or which will be affected by
my return. This is not true of some
present. They have been made to
suffer financial loss by their deten-
ton. 1t is but fair that they shall
have the right to. recoup some of
their losses. Now, I am not unac-
quainted with newspaper men, their
methods and ambitions. am going
to ask Mr.. Chalmers to waive his
rights as a journalist for an hour
after our arrival in Vera Cruz, in
order that we may send the news of
our safe return to our families, and
that we may then notify our busi-
ness associates, and forward such in
structions as shall protect our inter
ests in stocks and securities. | am
aware that we are under many obi
cations to Mr.. Chalmers and. to the
New York Record, but | assure him
that neither he nor his paper will
suffer by granting this favor

ONE THING THE YOUNG MAN CAN DO.

ONE THING THE YOUNG MAN CAN DO.
Now, here is q word TO the young
man of twenty who, having q fair COM
mon school education and not afraid
of work. would like to make the most
of himself and get out of the ranks of
the army of common plugs and shape
his life on broader and higher plane.
While there are other ways and other
openings, we will only mention one
way in which he may do that which
he desires. The feeding of 10O.OO0,000
people is to be the great problem in
this country before long. The young
man who makes study of how to pro-
duce the food needed in the most eco
nomical manner. how to take the earth
and the COW and the hen and the steer,
the forest and the garden and the or
chard and get the best out of them, is
bound to be man who will be in great
demand, for he will know something
which will be of great value to the
whole country. AS we look at it, there
is no more inviting field for the young
man of today than this, and a nice
thing about it is that the study of
these problems will not only make him
of practical use to the world, but he
will grow to be broad gagged man
as well. for no man can study nature
and her laws and be small and narrow.
Think this over, boys.

trees, and he, too, is hard one to
trap; then there are the rats and mice
ever at work in cellar. granury and
crib, and the losses sustained by these
pests is no small item. For remedies,
watch for the mole at work; if you can
catch him at it he is easily killed; for
the pocket gopher a piece of apple
treated with strychnine placed i'll a
fresh burrow will often get him. rag
soaked in carbon bisulphide poked into
fresh burrow will sometimes reach
him, or if he can be caught throwing
out the earth from his burrow, even
though he cannot be seen, charge of
shot fired down the hole will usually
finish him. For rats and mice there is
nothing better than good cat fed Il

A SCARCITY OFF B1Rp LIFE,

During late extended trip through
the south in the month of April we
were surprised to note the great search
ty of birds as compared with the north
We found the crow and the. buzzard
but in travelling hundreds of miles saw
only two meadow larks, two or three
pairs of doves and two martins. We
saw no robins. flycatchers. orioles,
grosbeaks, woodpeckers, tinches, thrush
es, wrens or any of the scores of va
rieties of birds which come north and
nest in the summer April conditions
in the southeare those of June in the
north, and logically the birds should
have been there. but We're not. Do the
bulk of our birds winter still farther,
south and then make one extended mi
grafton to the far north to breed?
