these hoodlums no better luck than be-
ing caught and given the maximum penalty
of the law.
New Orleans has not let up on divorce
cases yet. The other day we are told that
eight cases were filed within the space OF a
few hours. After all it might not hurt the
matrimonial candidates of the Crescent City
to resolve to follow ii e-President Marshalfs
suggestion of kissing ones wife at least
twice a day, after the knots have been tied.
After several months deliberation on
the part of the New Orleans people, and at
ter the newspapers had fred hot shots into
one another's camp for a long time until the
subject became monotonous, the kenner
people will have their interurban line, join
ing that town with New Orleans. Some
how or other there are some mighty selfish
people in the Crescent City, but we are glad
to note that there are still a few progressive
business and public spirited men.

MAYOR BEHRMAN AND THE
CANAL.

New Orleans has a real live progressive
Mayor in Mr.. Behrman. He has come out
openly for the Intercoastal Canal and has
made the people of the Crescent City feel
ashamed at their lukewarm spirit in having
Congress appropriate the necessary money
for the construction of this canal, which will
pass through a section Of the most fertile
country in the state and bring about cheap
water transportation rates between Calves
ton and New Orleans.
Furthermore Mayor Behrman will head
a delegation from Louisiana to Washington
at his own personal expense for the purpose
of urging an amendment to the rivers and
harbors bill, which already contains an ap-
preparation for the Canal between Port Ar
thur and Galveston. Lake Charles and 9TH
er cities are expected to send delegates to
Washington and it is hoped that Congress
will appropriate the money necessary to
build the canal to New Orleans.
The stand taken by Mayor Behrman is
worthy Of congratulation, and by his action
in this matter he has become endeared to the
people of Lake Charles and other southwest
Louisiana cities.

CLEAN UP DAY APPROACHING

We are told that the time for a general
cleaning up is near at hand, and we sincere.
ly hope that the citizens of Opelousas will
not have to wait until DR.. Buster Littell goes
around compelling them to make their
premises look decent.
If the residential, as well as the bust,
ness districts, of a city the size of Opelousas
are kept constantly clean there is no doubt
that this city would make a very favorable
impression on the many visitors and tourists.
Opelousas is the center of a flower coun-
try. it should have beautiful flowers by the
millions; it has many pretty rose bushes,
but there is plenty room for improvement.
Everybody will admit that Opelousas
be made the prettiest city in this sec
ton Of Louisiana, with only a little energy
and cooperation on the part of the citizens.
Let us all strive to beautify our little
city and see the results derived therefrom,
the next year or two.

POSTOFFICE NEEDS REPAIR
ING.

Our distinguished representative to
Congress, DIR. Lazaro, might to well to have
Congress appropriate about $40, 900 for the
r~emodelling of the local postoffice. With
this amount the present building, which is
already advanced in years, could be made to
look entirely new.
The postmaster needs a private office,
the clerks need more room and the lobby
should be made modern and sanitary. A
wooden floor has become antiquated for a
public building and we think that DR.. Laza-
no should urge upon Congress to appropriate
funds sufficiently large enough to make the
local post office a modern and up-to-date
building. New furnitures are badly needed
and both the postmaster and the clerks are
at present working under disadvantages.
BY undermining the present postoffice
it could be made considerably more sanitary

VERSIFICATIO IN ST.
LANDRY.

1t is daily becoming more apparent to
the farmers of st. Landry that the one crop
system is no longer profitable. Whilst cot
ton is one of the principal crops in this Sec
ton, several thousand of acres of land have
been cultivated in rice, since the boil wee
vii: truck farms are not usual at present
and nearly every farmer has an orchard,
filled with different varieties of fruit trees.
How farm life has changed during the last
ten years!
ST. Landry will soon have good drain
age, which will invariably be followed by
good roads, and then it will surely be the
Garden of Eden. With the system of irri-
cation and drainage, both of which will be
completed in a few years, the farmers Of
this parish will be able to raise any crop
successfully. Then the farmers will realize
that diversification is the password to pros
perity.
The success Of the farmers, in this par
ish, who diversified is well known; they
were the only ones who made money on the
farms last year. Where was the one crop
man?
A farm without sweet potatoes, Irish
potatoes. vegetables of all kinds and fruit
trees Of every yeriety, will in the long run
cause it's owner to go down in. debt. That
is not hearsay, but the history Of the vast
majority Of the farmers of Southwest Lou
isiana.
The day is not far distant when there will
be very few five hundred. three hundred,
or even two hundred acre farms-alI of
which are now plentiful. People here
will then know how to live on a ten, fifteen
or fifty acre place-they will till it properly
and diversity the crops, otherwise there will
be no use of staying in this country. There
is no reason waiting for that day to start
diversifying. Start it now and when the
time comes you will be well provided with
everything comfortable and a fat bank roll.
Farmers in other states have done this and
are still farming successfully in the same
manner; Louisiana is the best agricultural
state in the Union and surely farmers here
have a great advantage over the farmers of
other states. Why is it that the farmers of
practically every state in the United States
are more prosperous than our own? Diver
sification is the only answer.
St. Landry clarion. (Opelousas, La.) 1890-1921, 1914-03-21

than it really is. The walls need repairing
and our Congressman, who omes from st.
Landry, we are sure is willing to do his
share, if the people of Opelousas will only
breach the subject to him and lay down the
real facts.
Postmaster Lassalle, we are confident,
will gladly lend all assistance possible, but
he necessarily needs the cooperation OF
some of our citizens. Opelousas has not
asked Congress for a dollar for several years
and the Clarion is Of the opinion that we
are entitled to at least 500, 600 in order to
make the postoffhice keep up with the pro-
gressiveness Of the present day and of Opel
louSaS.

GERMANY's COAST DEFENSE
Not Only Affords Protection But
Provides Base for

Military experts say that the Ger
man coast defense is better equipped
than that of any other country In
Europe. There are about 200 miles
OF coast line on the North Sea and
something like 500 miles on the
Baltic Sea. The great range Of Ger
man batteries and the broken In
shore of the North Sea will help Ger
many to prevent any great onslaught
from that source. Along the coast
line of the Baltic Sea are German
batteries of great strength and range,
and these Qualifications will doubtless
prevent any enemy from making
much headway.

REPORT

Association.
ASSOC lau0n..

NEW YORK CITY, Sept: 17.-For
the benefit of the numerous organiza-
stions who helped to sell nearly 49,
Vo0; 600 Red Cross Seals last year and
sfor the general public. the American
Red Cross and the National Assocta-
tion for the Study and Prevention of
Tuberculosis have framed q definition
OF anti-tuberculosis work showing how
the proceeds from these holiday stick
ers are to be used. The definition
limits the expenditure of money only
for the year ending April 30. 1915.
The definition was framed at q re-
cent meeting of the National Associa-
lion for the Study and Prevention OF
Tuberculosis and states that the term
to the expenditure OF Red Cross Seal
money shall include the following
activities:
u I The construction OF hospitals or
sanatoria for the care of the tuber-
culous.
Q The maintenance of the tuber-
culous.
8. The provision OF day or night
camps for the tubercuIous; the pro-
vision and maintenance OF dispenser
les, visiting nurses, open air schools,
the care or treatment of tubercuIous
cases or for the prevention of the
spread of tuberculosis.
4. The maintenance of educational
or legislative activities which have for
their object the prevention or infec-
ton with tuberculosis
DR.. Charles ]. Hatfield, executive
secretary OF the national association
says In commenting on this definition,
I'VE hope by this means to prevent
the spending. particularly of small
sums OF money, In useless activities.
and to direct the efforts of all tuber-
culosis agencies along the lines which.
will produce most results for the mon
ley invested. We are in thorough SYM
-pathy and cooperation with every
dividual health, but II this Red Cross
Seal money is to be spent, as we adj
vertise, only for tuberculosis work,
we wish to see that it is expended to
the best advantage"
