AGAIN THE FOREST FIRE DANGER.
The condition of the trees and under
brush is such at the present time as
to conduce to confagration, and the
danger of forest fires in Vermont is rath-
er acute. Already the heavy pail of
smoke that has hung over northern and
central Vermont has indicated that
flames have begun their devastating
work in destroying timber that without
doubt was OF great value; and as the
dry conditions become more pronounced
there are likely to be still more indica-
tons of ravages. Hence persons who
have occasion to go into the woods or
into the fields should assume a greater
spirit of responsibility for the protec-
ton of the forests and not throw lighted
into the underbrush or cast
away lighted cigars or pipe ashes into
material or leave camphres
burning. little bit of precaution may
save hundreds and even thousands of
dollars. This should be borne in mind
by everyone.

The departure Of the heads of many
households in Europe for service in the
war will not handicap those households
who directly subsist on the occupation
of farming as might be supposed at first
thought, because in many of the coun-
tries involved in the war the women and
children of the household have been &C.
customed to take hold and work along
side with the men in the fields and gar
dens; and in some places practically the
entire labor of harvesting has devolved
upon the women and children. There
fore, in the present call of the adult
males TO arms there is no need to fear
that the farming interests of any of
the countries viii suffer except, Of
course, of those which may come within
the immediate zone of the war opera
tons. The women will do the farm
work, aided by the older children of both
sexes.

The personnel of the reserve bank
board was completed none too soon to
meet the complications arising through
the European war, for far away as the
fighting seems it nevertheless has had
a deIeterious effect on finances in the
United States. For quickly coming to
an agreement once the money situation
became acute the president and the Sen
ate are to be commended. The board is
now prepared to operate the new bank
ing machinery in such manner as to
equalize the financial burden on the va
rious sections Of the country.

Is there no end to st. Johnsbury's
possible candidates for representative in
Congress from the second Vermont dis
trict? For weeks and months the name
of Alexander Dunnett was tossed about
as prospective seeker after the position
of Frank Plumley OF Mortified. Then
came the suggestion OF the name of
Walter Husband of Washington, D. c.,
who no doubt would be credited to St.
Johnsbury, were he to become candi

that town. And thirdly comes the for

Burlington Free Press with which Mr.
Bigelow formerly was connected in an
editorial capacity. Without doubt there
are other good men in st. Johnsbury.

Clifford Edwards Has A
Visitor.

The home of Mrs. Dan Ed
wards was all quiet in the latter
part of the night, Monday, when
a step was heard in the next
room. Mrs. Edwards heard the
man when he turned on the
light and thinking that it was
her son Clifford she asked him if
it were Clifford. However the
man in the room, who came in
boldly smoking a cigarette, did
not answer and nothing more
was thought of the incident, un-
til at the breakfast table Tues
day.
Mrs. Edwards asked her sons
who had come into the room for
a short while and then left.
Neither answered and when
Clifford ran his hands down his
pockets he discovered that the
several dollars he had in them
the night before were all gone.
Luckily however his watch was
not stolen.

LOCAL KNIGHTS WILL
GO TO LAKE CHARLES
Opelousas Council Accepts
Invitation To Attend Lake
Charles Initiation.

The local council Of Knights of
Columbus has been invited to
attend a grand initiation at Lake
Charles on next Sunday and it is
expected that a large delegation
from Opelousas, Washington and
Sunset, will avail themselves of
the opportunity to witness the
initiatory work put on several
candidates.
A special coach, for Knights
and their lady friends only, will
be attached to the excursion
which will run between Wash
ington and intermediate points to
Beaumont, Texas.
AS limitations always bring
crowds, it is thought that several
hundred Knights of Columbus
from various sections of South
west Louisiana will be at Lake
Charles on Sunday.
The Opelousas lodge has al
ways been recognized as one Of
the most important in the state,
and whenever there is an initia-
ton in this territory it is always
extended a special invitation to
attend.
The Grand Knight, State Dep
I1ty and nearly all t,f thn officers
of the local lodge, besides several
members, are anticipating the
trip to Lake Charles, as they
have always been treated gor-
geously by their brother Knights
in the Southwestern metropo-
lis.
The excursion train will leave
this city between 500 and 5::3C
o'clock Sunday morning. April

MEETING DISCUSSES
INSURANCE LOWERING
Fire Prevention Bureau to
Attend to Having Rates
Lowered in City.

A conference was held on
Tuesday night at the Mayors
office, between the Mayor, d
committee of citizens and Mr..
Sol Bloodworth. head of the LOU
isiana State Fire Prevention Bu-
reau. This meeting was for the
purpose of discussing the plan of
reducing the present fire iusur-
ance rates and to have Opelon-
sas placed into the second class
cities instead of the third class.
Mr.. BloodWorth assured the
meeting that the Fire Prevention
Bureau would have the rate re-
duced at least twenty per cent
on the present fire insurance
premiums, If the city would make
certain improvements.
A representative of the Bureau
will be sent to Opelousas in the
very near future to look over the
field and investigate what is
needed to have this city listed
with the second class cities of
Louisiana.
Mr.. BloodWorth stated at the
Tuesday night conference that
the cost of the improvements
needed to have Opelousas placed
| in the column of second class
cities would not exceed Sic, 900.
In order that the insurance
rate can be reduced at least 20
per cent Opelousas will have to
install the modern fire alarm
system, which it has already con-
tracted for, besides extending
the water mains and purchasing
an automobile fire truck, as well
as organizing a second fire de
partment.
| Many claim that the autofno-
bile truck is not absolutely nee
essary, but Mr.. BloodWorth adj
vised the committee thatit would
be much better for the safety of
Opelousas, If the fire department
owned an automobile truck, as
the scene Of fire could be quickly
reached then.

HARD JOB AHEAD OF
new CITY COUNCIL
Various Appointed Positions
To Be Dished Out At First
Meeting In May.

When the new council will or
ganize next month it will have a
hard job distributing jobs to
their faithful friends. For every
appointive position there are sew
eral prominent physicians seek
ing appointment.
1t is a pleasure which an officer
elected by the people must
dread, because it matters not
whom he appoints he will cause
discord in his political rank and
file.
The last political campaign in
this city was carried on SO Bit
terly, that practically every citi-
zen in 0pelousas took a hand in
the fight. Generally when one
fights for a man and he is eIec-
ted something is expected from
the successful candidates. This
time however there are many
who think that they should be
appointed because they fought
hard for the successful candi-
dates for mayor and members OF
the board Of aldermen.
It is however. gratifying to
the citizens who have the inter-
est of this community at heart
to learn that the city council will
appoint the men who are best
suited for the position, and not
on account of political affiiiation.
It is admitted that there will be.
some changes made, but the
council proposes to give these
positions to the men who are
qualified to hold down the job,
if it is possible, of course those
who voted for the successful as
pirants for the municipal offices
will get their share, If they are
suited for the places.
