show his authority. If he is a
bona fide agent, backed up by
proper authority, it seems ne
would begin his operation at the
parish seats and not in the rural
districts, where people are most
likely to trust the eloquent spiel
of the artistic fakirs. At all e.
Yeats a lawyer should be consult
ed and the matter investigated
before giving up your hard cash.
Of all the holidays of the year
none approach in Importance
that of Christmas. On no other
day of the year SO many presents
made. AT no other time OF tbs
year do so many people endeaVor
to bring happiness to some heart
to which happiness is a stranger.
This is the time when everybody
strives to make everybody else
happy. We believe it is this
which gives to the day its pc
cular charm.
In giving to those who are poor
and destitute, we are following
the teaching of Him whose birth
day we celebrate, for He said,
1T is more blessed to give than
to receive Nay, we are even
following the example of God
Himself, "Who SO loved the
world that He sent His only be-
gotten son that Whosoever be-
lieyed in Him might not perish
but have everlasting life No
other gift of the age can be COM
pared with this one.
Surely, when we think of all
Christ did and suffered for us, we
cannot refuse in some way to do
something for Him. This can
best be done by ministering to
some poor, sick and forsaken
widow, some friendless child or
some wretched husband or faith
er, -presents given to the poor
and the friendless a kind word
spoken to the depressed and des-
these are all deeds done
to Him, for He said, Inasmuch
We have done to one of these,
We have done it to Me-"
It is a most beautiful and
Christian custom of ours to make
presents at this season of the
year. Thus all are made happy
and the destitute, as well as the
wealthy who give, are brought
closer to each other and to God.
We wish our readers a merry
Christmas.

Respectfully submitted,

In the last issue of the Clarion
many items of interest were left
out due to the rush advertisement
at this season of the year. Tf
we fail to have the usual batch
of news this week, just scan its
pages carefully and note the big
Christmas ads which just now
interest everybody, Don't 90 a.

One of the most praiseWorthy
doings of the season is a Xmas
tree which the Opelousas Elks
will give at the band auditorium
ON Christmas day at 4 0, clock for
the benefit of the young children
of the city. it is a distinctive
and beautiful custom among the
Elks to distribute YuIetide gifts
among those firesides that are
ordinarily passed over on Christ
mas day. Their good will and
kindness shine forth at a season
of the year when they are partic-
ularly needed in chill and helpless
homes. The Opelousas public
have doubtless. in previous years,
noticed this great brotherhood in
such spirit.
Their hearts are gladened like
those of the little ones. In Civ
ing to those who are poor and
destitute, they are following the
teaching of Him whose birthday
we celebrate, for He said, 1T is
more blessed to give than to re-
ceive."
The public has been accorded
an invitation and a large crowd
is expected.
St. Landry clarion. (Opelousas, La.) 1890-1921, 1912-12-21

Let the keynote Of your
Christmas be love- peace on
earth, good will to men, Let
those whom God has blessed
with plenty see to it their neigh
bors and friends have good cheer
and abundance to make their
hearts glad.

We have it from reliable au-
thority that an individual posing
as an authorized agent of the
Department of the Interior Office
of Indian affairs of this govern
rnent is trying to work the UNI
suspeeting in the neighborhood
of Sunset near the border of this
parish. It is said that he tells
the people if they can establish
the fact that they have Indian
blood IN their veins, no matter
how remote, they are entitled to
d large sum of money which the
government has in store for
them. He begins his operation
first BY appointing different of
foers for the conducting Of his of
fee. This would be unnecessary,
for if he were an authorized agent
of the government assistants
would be furnished him before
leaving headquarters. This 81

thence to Washington. Senator Taylor

telling one story after another. to the
great delight of the President and
everybody elese who was not seasCk.
Not only was Senator Taylor versed
as story teller. but he was quick at
repartee. One time he wandered out
as far as Denver lecturing on the Cha

Greater
Humboldt


Organized for the purpose of develop
ing the agricultural resources of Humboldt
Valley by conservation and use of the
waste and unused waters.
Ten years ago, the U. S. Geological
Survey said there was sufficient water in
the valley to irrigate 10000 acres of land.
Today, the Commissioner of Industry,
Agriculture and Irrigation says there are
only $4,000 acres of land under irri-
CATION in the valley.
The profits that will return from recla-
nation OF even a part of that extra land
for which there is water will be very large.
This is the largest and most important
irrigation project in Nevada, and about the
only large one left in the United States not
exploited.
The returns to stockholders will be very
large, and land owners and present water
users who take stock will receive benefits
not granted under any other project.
It is expected that every person inter-
eSted In the future prosperity of Humboldt
Valley, or who wants good investment,
will take stock in this company.
