BOYS OF WOODCRAFT START OUT

That the young men and the
rising generation in general is
anxious to belong to the secret
societies was demonstrated Sun
day when the Boys of Wood
craft Auxiliary of Cypress Camp
Woodmen of the World was
organized with As chartered
members.
The assemblage was called to
order by Mr.. ]. Adonis Blanc,
chairman OF the Woodmen of
the World Committee who
called upon Sow. Henry w.
Ortte as Provisional Command
er to explain the objects of the
order. tle responded with a
clear and concise address and
promised handsome gold
medal to the boy who will
secure the largest number of
new members.
MIR. Frank Q. Croy, of Ala
bama, talked to the boys on
fraternity, education and the
orders generally and his address
was listened to with much in
terest. A resolution of thanks
to MIR. Croy, Mr.. Blanc, MIR.
Ortte and MIR. w. H. Hole
man was unanimously adopted.
Then the organization of the
camp was proceeded with.
These are the names of the
charter members and the of
ficers:

New Iberia has another dis
tlnction, that of being the hom,
of couple of young men wht
bid fair to make themselves
popular in the song writing
line. They are Messrs. taulin,
Broussard and Frank Barranct
who have Just published pref
ty song entitled "Beneath The
Sunny Skies of Blue which
! will soon be hummed by ever,
one. The music has just come
from the publishers, but it IS al
ready in demand and probably
there willhave to be second
edition soon.
The words are by Mr.
Broussard and the music by
Mr.. Barranco and both are per
fectlv fitted to each other. II
is probable that the song will be
heard at the Minstrel pertor-
nance that is to b. given by
the Clifford Dramatic Club in
the near future. The air is
taking and the chorus especially
so and it will find many ad-
m1rers in the North as we'll as
here where it fits so well.
AGE HAS SORROWS
but should have few regrets.
Said an old man regretfulIy, 81
might heve had home bought
with the rent through the iberia
Building Association.
From the reports received
from the various schools
throughout the Parish upon the
library question, none OF the
schools are to be commended
more than that at Patoutville.
While there are other schools
that have raised $50 for this
purpose there are none that
raised it in manner that re-
Aecrs more credit upon them
than that adopted by this
school. 1t begins to look as if
there will be quite drain on
the school funds to do its share
of the furnishing OF books for
the pupils of the schools.
