CENSUS BUREAU TO
GIVE EXTRA REPORT
Director Hagris Wants Statis-
tics on Cation Published
More Frequently.

Director Harris, Of the Bu-
reau Of the Census, finds that
there is great demand for the
publication at more frequent in
tervals OF statistics concerning
the consumption of cotton seed.
Tt. has been the practice of the
Bureau Of the Census to compile
statistics for this important part
of the cotton crop only twice dur
ing the ginning season. The
first report for the crop of 1912
related to the quantity Of cotton
seed crushed prior to January /,
1913. The second reportshoWed
the quantity crushed prior to
March /, 1913, with an estimate
of the quantity remaining to be
crushed from the crop.
The statistics of cotton seed
are collected ia connection with
those for the production of cot
ton as reported By the ginners.
This is necessary because the
quantity of linters is constantly
increasing and forms a much
larger percentage Of the total
crop than heretofore.
Mr.. Harris believes that n
additional report showing Y
quantity Of seed crushed aat1 {
linters obtained should relate 81
SONS date between October
and January i. He is not cef-
tain as TO the most desirable
date, and Is accordingly CORE
spending with the farmers and
cotton seed Oh mills ii order to
establish it. It is hoped that all
will agree upon a fixed date, SO
that the work can be inaugu-
rated the present season.
This additional report will be
Of great value to the farmers, as
well as to the oil mills and the
public generally.

An Accident Befalls George
Wilson.

Mr.. George Wilson, who lives
in Bellevue, had the ill-luck of
being struck by a falling shed
on last Sunday. He was some
what painfully, but not alto
gether seriously injured.
On Sunday evening at about
5 O'Clock Mr.. Wilson had occa-
sion to pass under the shed on
the back of White & Chachere's S
and he was struck by a wire.
On returning he again encoun-
tered the wire, SO getting a little
aggravated thought that he
would pull the thing down. But
with the wire came the roof,
which fell upon his stomach.
Luckily there were several men
around in a short while and Mr..
Wilson was soon being carried to
bed. He was unconscious for
awhile, but soon recovered. He
is now confined at the Christ1nan
hotel, and it is the hope of his
many friends that it will not be
very long before he will have
completely recovered.

WASHINGTON ON ROAD

ness.

The town of Washington is
now on the good road to pro-
gressiyeness. Everything is now
in readiness for the laying of
concrete sidewalks and it is ex-
peeted that it will not be long
before Opelousas sister town
will have the convenience and
service of good sidewalks.
It is reported that the people
of Washington will soon start
agitating good roads between
that place and Opelousas. This
is a good move and it is hoped
the people living on the Opelou-
sas- Washington road will take
steps to make the move material
ize.
Washington a n d Opelousas
should cooperate on the good
roads question and it would then
not be such a difficulty to secure
better highways between these
two important commercial towns
of st. Landry.

BOY IS
KILLED BY ENGINE
Ashton Close and Three Others Are Killed in New
Orleans BY Switch Engine OH Saturday,
October 18th.

tholic cemetery. There was q
large concourse Of friends and
relatives present at the interr-
ment.
The news of the death of this
promising youngster was a shock
not only to his parents but also
to the community at large. He
had left 0pelousas a little over a
year ago to go to the Russell
Motor Car Company, where he
hoped one day to become an ex-
pert automobilist. He was to
come back to 0pelousas and open
up a garage with Bordelon and
Sons. But the Russell people
discovered that he was one Of
the best N their employ and
readily made him an offer to re-
main with them. This he did,
and at the time of his death he
was considered one Of the best
automobdlists in New Orleans,
beside being numbered among
the most careful drivers III the
Crescent City.
Death is sad news at ali times.
but it IS by far sadder when the
news arrives most uneaoectedly.
No one in Opelousas dreamed
that such a terrible accident
would snatch the life Of one so
promising and so energetic and
young as Ashton Close. No one
suspected that the loving heart
of a devoted mother would lit
terally be crushed by the sad end
of her idol" her own dear
boy-so Unexpectedly.
We mortals have to travel
over this same road Of death, no
matter if it is by a lingering ill
ness or by the quick action OF an
artificial monster.
To the grief stricken father
and mother, as wellas the friends
and relatives of the Close family
the Clarion extends its deepest
sympathies.

!. /. Al,FaS Is Made Esad Of Ii. /. i

The members of the local
Lodge 1173 OF the knights of
Columbus met at there beautiful
home on last Sunday morning
and elected their officers, The
member awarded the most hon
orary position was Mr.. A. i.
Andrus, popular deputy sheriff
| Of st. Landry, who is an ardent
admirer of his order and q bard
worker.
Mr.. Andrus will have, to ass s
sist him in the work of uplifting
the local lodge, officers who are
worthy of the honor conferred
upon them. The knights OF.
Columbus of Opelousas expect
/ great things from the officers
who were elected recently, and
who will be installed in a short
time, and it is thought that the
realization will come up to The
expectation, il not surb5sa.as it,
There are over one hundred
and fifty members in this city
and it is hoped, by Ma. Andrus
and the other newly elected
officials, that it wall not be long
before the number will swell ur
| to over two hundred. This lodge
has been lonored by the recent
convention of The Knights of
Columbus held in the city of
New Orleans, when the retiring
Grand Knight, JohnM. Prescott,
was appointed District Grand
Deputy. This evidently signi-f
fies that the local lodge is es-
teened very highly BY the
Knights Of Columbus in Louis
lana.
As soon as Mr.. Andrus will.
be installed, it is his idea to call
q special meeting for the pt1r.
pose of deciding upon the best
possible plans TO pursue the good
of the order and to make Coun-

dable in Louisiana.

the country who are well posted
on this all important subject.
The Boosters Bureau, as the
Southwest Louisiana Develop
ment Bureau was formerly
called, has been doing great
work in the way of. upbuilding
this country, and if it puts
through everything which III
proposes this section of Louis

J. B. Ficks, a graduate of the
Chicago University, of the Hi

WOOD BLOCK TO GET !:
PAVING CONTRACT
The City Council Votes In Favor OF Wooden Blocks
For Paving Local Streets---Petition of
Tax-Payers Ignored.

The City Council, on last We'd
nesday night, bya three to two
vote. decided in favor of the
creosoted weed block as a pave
ment for the nine blocks, which
are to be paved with permanent
pavement.
Before the vote was taken on
the diverse kind Of pavenents a
petition was presented to the
Board of Aldermen from the
majority of tax payers Of this
city, who live on the streets,
which were, up to the time of
the meeting, proposed to be paw
ed, calling upon the members of
the Board to let the contract out
to the Bitulithic people. This
petition was entirely ignored,
ands as one Of the members
said, that it was the peoples s
misfortune If they had elected
him, and he Wal1l vote in favor
of wood block, alo natter what
the petition c}llad for. As a
matter ot fi e did vote for
#o d block, giving as his excuse
tl3at he nae .ooked into the
paving QUESTION thoroughly and
knew more about it than the or
dinary citizen who had signed
the petition.
All this is perfectly alright,
but why should any one member
of the Board of Aldermen, most
alphabetically ignore the petit
tion of the people whose money
will be expended for this pave
ment? Why should contract
be let to a concern whose bidder
was even higher, by eight cents
a square yard, than the original
petition called for and the high
est bid of any material sub
mitted? tits true that the peo-
pie voted for the members of
the Board of Aldermen to take
care of their interest, but there
is no reason why the voice of
the people should not be consid-
fered when a question of such
vital interest comes before a
public body, as the Board of
Aldermen.
The Council voted for what it
thought was best. There is no
doubt that they acted conscien-
tiously, but there is such a thing
as a public body making a mis-
take, and it is the option OF the
majority of the taxpayers on
the various streets which are to
be paved that the Council has
made a mistake.
Extracts from the Mobile Tri-
bune, in which city considerable
wood block has been laid, ano
which city has about the same
climate as Opelousas, with very
little difference in it's rainfall,
treats the subject editorially, in
its issue of September 9th, ir
the following manner:
Why Not "Boost It..
Mobile has a private aviation
