Thibodaux is at last in line for an
appropriation for government
building, as last Friday Congress
man Broussard introduced in the
House Of Representatives bill pro-
viding for post office building al
Thibodaux and Morgan City the
bill carrying with it an approprla-
ton of fifty thousand for each build
ing. OF course these bills take
time and are not passed IN sixty
days or in one year, still there is
satisfaction in the fact that ques-
ton that we alone have boosted and
hung on to has at last been recogni
zed, although it should have been
recognized just four years earlier.
The Commercial Journal was
the first mover for goverDmen
building for this town. We are
the only paper that has persis
tently reminded the people, that
it Was due us and We correspon-
ded with Congressman Brous-
sard on the su oject few years
ago, he then promised us that
he would be only too glad to in
troduce the bill as soon as the
people here took the proper
steps. Our readers know the
slow progress this i'm portant
matter, thai Meant an ofnamen-
tai building for the town t3ok
and there was So much indiffe :
renee on the part of those who
hav& been most enLhuslaS
tic that We wonder, d whether
The town really wanted a bull
ding or not. The town council
passed thr, prop-r Resolution and
a petition Was circulatr d and
held back for months; but now
the bill l., n-fore Congress. We
trust it will not be indefinitely
postponed or pigeon holed for too
long. People on this end should
see that d suita ole location is
found and the government should
no!. b. asked d consideration that
might purchase the whole town
uid ordinary conditions. 1t is
to the interest of the town to
hav. the building centrally loca-
ted and 10 the interest of the
town to see that the greatest part
of th' appropriation is not put in
the site, SO that most of it will go
in the buiIding.

Rumor has it that another two
story brick building is soon to
be erected in central place in
this town to replace a rather old
building that has long since been
an eye sore. The proposed bull
ding will adorn the section of
town in which it is to be erected.

Another Patent Gran
ted.

Mr.. Lovince Sonier, a neighbor
from Beattieville, was granted a
patent last week by the United
States Government that should re-
volutionize cane culture, as consi--
derable work will be saved in the
field. His patent consists of an at
tachment to place on any wheeled
vehicle that straddles rows and is
used to weed away grass and break
clods that might be around the
growing cane without in the least af
fecting the cane. It in other words
will do away with hoeing, will do
the work quicker and cover several
times more ground day than ten
men can cover. That the inven-
ton is practical is attested by the
fact that he has successfully opera
ted same for several seasons.

The Health Exhibit train sent
out by the Louisiana State Board
of Health and attended by corps of
competent lecturers will be here on
Friday January 9th at the Texas
& Pacific depot, on the opposite
side of the bayou. This train since
it has started out has visited over
twenty five parishes and sixty towns
nearly 10000 people have visited
the cars and nearly one third that
amount have attended the lectures
in the different towns where lee
lures have been held in auditoriums
furnished by the local health authori
ties.
The train will be here on the
afternoon of Friday January 9th,
next week, and it is hoped that
our people will greet it with as
much enthusiasm as they gree
ted the agricultural train here in
October. School children and
teachers as we'll AS the pub blic in
general are cordially invited to
visit the car and it is hoped that
the authorities will make the
.ridge free for crossings on that
day. At night there will in all
proba 5ility be lecture, interes-
ting and entertaining, illustrated
by colored stereopticans az the
opera house or at such other
place as the local health authori-
ties may see fit to designate.
The car tells the story OF. the
prevention of disease. Arranged
on table in the center of the
Car are 20 glass jars, in these
are sections of human forms, not
of Wax or com position but natu-
raj and actual specimens. These
sections show the progress Of
tn tuberculosis, consum ptlon, and
have oeen prepared by Dr.. Sou
chon. Besides this there is an
interesting exhi bit furnished 10y
the Anti tuberculosis League,
there are also views from diffe
rent parts of the state, frame
work of model dairy in miniature,
exhibits showing the food value
of different foods. There are al
SO microscopes and other appara
tt, milk coolers, pals, and sepa-
tors and model school furniture
of the latest design. There is al
SO an exhibit of bacilli cultures
showing the effects of fly conta
mination, and an exhibit of preven
I'd BILE diseases. Exhibit on blind
ness and milk appliances hav.
also been recently added besides
others too numerous to mention
and which for lack of space We
ask our readers to excuse us for
not enumerating.

The exposition fight, as to the
location of an exposition to cele-
brate the Panama Canal opening
to traffice in 1915 is soon to be set
tied by Congress. Last week New
Orleans with a large delegation in
which Archbishop Blenk, Mayor
Behrman and Governor Sanders
figured and these individuals with
others addressed the committee on
liberal arts and expositions to re-
celve favorable report as to New
Orleans. San Francisco also had
its boomers, but according to the
New Orleans papers, that city had
the better argument. we did not see
San Francisco papers on the same
matter.
The question will however in all
probability be settled once and for
all next Friday, when Congress is
to take a vote on the same. Both
sides are equally confident, but
thereis surely to be some disappoint-
ment. the Estopinal bill favoring
New Orleans as the place to cele
brate was amended, since it is be.
fore the committee, so as to elimi--
nate the one million and half ap-
preparation it carried to pay for an
exhibit to be offered by the national
government. 1t is understood that
new bill will be introduced as
soon as the location is decided upon,
if New Orleans wins out.

All the priests of this deanery
who could absent themselves
from their respective charges
were here last Tuesday for the
purpose of complying with re-
cent order issued by the Arch
bishop, pursuant to d Call from
the living head of the Roman
Catholic Church His Holiness,
Pope Plus x. The purpose more
plainly stated was to take the
oath known as the anti modcr-
MIST oath, whereby the priests
su hscribe to an oath pledging
themselves to stick to the teach
ings of the church in order to in
sure the religion and congrega--
tions in their charge from the dan
ger of being i'm bued by some
fad or fads enunciated by an En-
glish follower of the faith, who
was censured and expelled by
the Church for his ideas and
teachings.
Rev. Cannon Dubourg being
absent in France, and as be is
the head of the deanery was re-
placed by Rev. Cannon Boucher
from Plottenyille, who is cannon
for the adjoining deanery. The
following are the priests who
took the said oath. Rev. Father
Boucher, presiding, Of Plotten-
vile; Revs. Fathers Pacquet Of
Houma; Souby of Morgan City;
Richard of Little Gallon; Barbe,
Bayou Du Large; Vigroux, and
Reynold, Lockport; Rayoire, Las
baditville; LanglaiS, Napoleon
vile; Jullitr, Larose; and Rous-
seau, Chapon and Evanllo of the
local church.
The same oath, which was
given in full in the Plcay une
some few weeks ago was taken
by mum Der of New Dreams
priests and priests from other
parts of the state before His
Grace Archbishop Blenk. The
idea is that all priests will take
the same in every deanery in the
diocese as we'll as in all diOceses
in the United States and other

Thibodaux was selected as the

urday April % as the date. AS
this town is easy of access and CEN

tests. J mile dash, + mile dash, 5

Thibodaux has been assured a
visit by the aviators-real flying
machineswill be exhibited here and
flights will be taken by such noted
aviators as Frisbe and others. The
National Aviators under the direc-
ton of w. [. Swair with shows in
connection will be here at some
date in March, to be announced la
ter, in the early part of the month
however. Jack Auslet followed
the first representative of the COM
pany out here and closed a deal
with the Fire Department after all
hope of obtaining the same had
been abandoned. Jack was here
Sunday and Monday and left Mon
day taking back with him a con-
tract.
Thibodaux may be the only
town of its size in the state to
get the attraction, and was for
tunate in this respect. Arrange :.
ments are being made with the
railroads orun excursions here
on tha. date as well as to give ex
cursion rates for several days
preceding aud following the big
meet. The company we are told
carries 9 big pullman cars to ac-
con, modato the force of people
mployed besides the stars and
hay some other pleasing and
startling attractions. The day
should bn Il big day for the
town. One can imagine that
such show is costly and that
preca ution must be ia ken not to
make too many stops nor to ope-
rate TIE machines in towns too
close to one another. Oar friends
from Donaldsonville, Houma, Ma
poleonville and Morgan City as
well as Lockport and all interven
lug points will be afforded the
chance Of paying us d visit on
that day.
