DR.. Fosters Able Answer to
Eunlce Star.

We are sorry to say that on ac-
count of more police jury and
council proceedings being thrust
upon us at the last moment, than
we contemplated, besides several
legal advertisements, we were
unable to publish : DR.. Fosters
able communication, which is an
answer to the charge made by
the Eunice Star III its issue Of
October 18th, against the police
juror voting down an ordinance
offered by Mr.. Gournay TO make
two road districts out of the Eu-
nice ward, In which DR.. Foster
resides.
We had promised DR.. Foster
that mis- communication would
appear in this issue of our ga
per, but on account Of the length
0f 1t, ff we were to publish the
same we would have no room
for the local news. Feeling as
sured that the able and esteemed
police juror from LaWtell will
appreciate the position in which
we are placed we have taken it
on ourselves to keep his article
until the next issue of our paper,
being confident that such a.
write up" will never grow
stale. "

Rice Crop Is Not So Bad

~ ( - f E.e
The rice crop is not all lost.
There is not such a heavy per
cent Of the crop lost. as was
thought a few weeks ago. 1t is
estimated that the loss will not
exceed 10 per cent which is con-
sidered very good.
Mr.. Leer aCombe, the popu-
lar cashier of the First National
Bank, was in this city during
the week and stated that the
rice farmers around Eunice were
iubiilarit over their crop. He
said that many farmers had
made two crops of rice this year,
thereby making the yield per
acre almost as much, and in
some places more than was esti-
mated before the downpours OF
a few weeks ago came upon the
farmers in this section.
Mr.. Franklin Schell, manager
of the Union Irrigation Company,
which company has thousands Of
acres of rice in this parish, was
another one who stated, during
the week that the loss, among
the rice farmers was compara-
lively short. :,
The optimism of Messrs. Schell
and Lacombe is enough to make
the farmers feel optimistic them
selves, despite the great draw
back they experienced a few
weeks ago. It means that there
are not so many thousands of dol
lars lost in this portion of Louis
lana as was at first expected,
and conditions will be a little
brighter this coming winter.

Saloon License Is Raised Two
Hundred,

The Police Jury at its last
raised the license $500,
thereby making it $500. Some
say that there is talk of getting
this parish dry" once more,
others say that there is no pos
sible chance that st. Landry will
ever go anything but wet
since the experience it had dur
ing the dry" spell of two years
ago, when there were over
thirty saloons, in Opelousas, not
counting the hundreds, at almost
every little grocery, in the coun-
try.
There is little talk of putting
the question to a vote, but the
anti-prohibitionists are sure that
the question would be swamped
under, since Evangeline is off of
the shoulders ofSt. Landry, and
it was that portion of this par
ish which made it go dry"
three years ago.

Kr0tz Springs Now Has
Hotel.

The little town Of Krotz
Springs, it is not town yet, but
will soon be, so let it go at that,
now has a hotel. Mr.. Geo. Ma
thas has opened up a fine up-to-
date hotel, and is doing a good
business. He was in this city
recently and stated that Krotz
Springs was booming up fast
and would soon be a good sized
town.
The citizens of Krotz Springs
have petitioned the Police Jury
to give their town a voting place.
It is thought that they viii be
allowed to vote there instead of
going several miles to cast their
ballot.
Krotz Springs is being joined
with the rest of this parish, to-
wards Opelousas by apublic road
and a bridge will soon be built
across the bayou so as to con-
meet all the inhabitants in that
section with the town where
the best mineral water in this
parish is obtained.

ASK DALEY NOT TO
RESIGN POSITION
Police Jury Unanimously In
Favor OF Member J. e. DALEY
Not Resigning.

Police Juror j. E. Daley, who
had resolved to resign in Februa-
ary, has been called upon By the
Police Jury, in body, to recon
slider the step which he is about
to take. In a resolution offered
by F. Q. Pavy, and unanimously
adopted the parish law makers
asked Mr.. Daley to remain in his
same position, because he is a
valuable member of that body
and also on account of the fact
that it would necessitate another
election, consequently compelling
the parish to expend little more
of its funds.
It is thought and at the same
time hoped that Mr.. Daley will
not resign, as he had stated he
would. His communication in
the Clarion Of November LIST, in
which he states that he is COM
PEELED to resign as a member of
the Police Jury of st. Landry,
has been entirely refuted by his
friends. and now the news has
gone all over the parish that the
Second Ward Juror will remain
at his post and continue his good
work, especially for good roads.
The other Police Jurors have
.joshed" Mr.. Daley along SO
much, at the same time showing
him why he should not resign in
such a forcible manner that it is
now thought that Mr.. Daley
will remain at his old post.

Answer to Last Weeks Story of ''Fido"'

And hack to school: and four o'clock
Most always comes real soon,
And then you just begin to play,
And then it's time for tea;
And then, in such little while,
Your bedtime comes, you seel
II nights were only twice as long,
'Twould be a splendid thing!
Cause. don't you know when you're
tucked up.
Sometimes your mother'l sing;
And first you lie and watch the stars,
Or maybe there's a moon;
And then you get all nice and warm
And sleepy pretty soon;
And then. perhaps, you shut your
eyes;
And then your mother'll say,
Have ! a little boy that means
TO lie in bed all day."

to the people who lived next door.
Fido had found Kitty eating some
scraps, which had been put out there
for her. F'ido got the scraps and went
through the gate and ate the food.
About a half an hour afterwards
the gentleman was sitting in his easy
chair, reading the evening paper. when

Why the Flowers
Came

A long. long time ago the fairies
were holding court. The fairy queen
sat upon the highest, softest white
cloud. and her maids Of honor sat or
stood around her. Just below. on
smaller clouds, her counselors and
jurors sat.
The queen waved her wand and n
solemn little fairy stood up to report.
He said:
your Majesty, we have been down
to earth to find out why we so OFTEN
heard the little Earth children crying.
We find that there has been sin on the
Earth and the Great Giver has had to
lay a curse upon 1t. There is still
green grass upon the Earth for the
cattle to eat and to rest the eyes OF the
Ear children. There are trees. and
fruit to eat, but the Earth children
have to dig to get enough to eat. ana
dis they dig. there are thorns ana TINS
ties springIng up that pierce the feet
and hands of the poor creatures The
little Earth children playing In the
grass step on thorns, and so we hear
them crying. Often they try to gather
fruit and the thorns pierce their little
hands. Can we not do something for
these little ones to cause them to for
get their pains?"
And the Fairy Queen said: Are the
Earth children good?'
The fairy answered: THE little chill
dren are good, but many of the larger
children have learned sim"
I'VE must ask the Great Giver,"
said the Fairy Queen.
And so they wen. UP TO the High
est Court and told all these things to
the Great Giver.
Then the Great civre gave the fai-
ries an order to go to the sad Earth
and cause beautiful flowers to spring
mn in every spot where the blood of
Innocent little children's feet had bled.
And SO, when the fairies had attend
ed to all this business and gone back
to their high court, they listened for
the Earth sounds. and 10! instead OF
CRYING, they heard the little Earth
children laughing and singing.

SEVEN CATS OF LONG BEACH.

Long Beach Is big seaside town in

lived on the same street and are the
ones that made Jimnlie's brother

It happened one chilly evening,
when the waves of the Pacific were
pounding on the beach and the wind
was bowling around the cottages. that
Jimmie's brother, whose name was
John, walked the entire length Of
American avenue to return book
he had borrowed. The book was

Before John had gone three blocks
he saw a cat huddled against a door

John might have imagined himself in
Massachusetts II he could have walked
with his eyes closed, Palm trees and
blooming flowers reminded Jimmie 4

On walked the big boy. thinking.
thinking Of Robin Hood and his merry
men Soon he saw another cat hud-
died against a door. A few more
blocks and there was the third shiv-
ering cat waiting to get in the house.
Before Jimmies brother reached his
friends residence, away out Ameri-
can avenue, he had counted seven
cats on seven doorsteps, who wished
TO ring seven doorbeils
When John started back toward his
own home, he was still thinking of
Robin Hood and brave days of old in
Sherwood forest He remembered
that Robin Hood never went abroad
without meeting with some adven-
ture.
Suddenly Jimmie's brother began TO
smile a broad. broad smile that turned
into a grin. There were seven cats
shivering with the cold. seven cats
in need OF friend. Surely here was
an adventure!
"I'lI buckle on my sword and de-
mand entrance for, them each at his
own castle door" declared Jimmie $
brother, grinning so his teeth shone
in the moonlight.
Mrs. Peter Nettleton was surprised
a few minutes later by hearing her
doorbell ring with unnecessary force.
when she went OF the door. there
stood a good looking young man. hat
In hand, who inquired most politely
II he might speak with Mr.. r. HOOD.
There Is no one by that name
here" answered Mrs. Nettleton. Even
as she spoke In darted the cat.
Jimmie could hardly keep his race
straight when he rang the next door
bell and again inquired for Mr.. r..
Hood.
You must have the wrong num-
ber," replied gruff looking man an
gruff sounding voice.
John didn't md Robin Hood any

A Faithful Cat
ny LUCILLE MARsTON.

About year ago = gentleman and
his wife were awakened on4 night by
the cast mewing at their door. She
was accustomed to sleeping In the
house, and had never before disturbed
them This time her news were LOUD,
prolonged, and determined. as II she
meant to be heard and needed. II
was a bitter cold night. and pussy's
efforts at first were not successful; but
she persevered, and the lady said:
"There must be something the matter
either with puss herself or the house.
She may have been hurt. At any rate,
I'm going to see.'
She rose, opened the door and pussy
Instantly stopped her mewing, and with
an almost human expression OF reief
ran straight to the sitting room. look
ing back TO be sure she was followed
The lady found cause indeed for pussy's
alarm.
A falling piece Of wood had pushed
the stove door open. and live Goals were
scattered out upon the door. and the
floor was beginning to scorch. In
short time the house might have been
on fire. Pussy's notice had saved II,
and possibly the lives Of the ones
who she loved SO, and who had been
so kind to her.
