St. James Church Fair And
Concert A Grand Success,

The grand Church Fair, anc
Concert given Sunday before last
at the St. James Church in St.
Amelia La, proved a grand sue
cess both socially, and financial,
ly. Long, and elaborate prepa-
rations had been made, and with
an ideal weather prevailing many
from far, and near attended.
The Concert which was under
the able management of Mr.. Ami
Get Dufresne, and Mr.. Alfred
Poche was indeed a feature of the
occasion, and met with especial
favor at the hands Of a large, and
appreciarvie audience. An excep-
tionally interesting and enjoyable
feature of the Concert was the
Opera which was ably rendered
by the pupils of the ST. Louis
School. It was indeed as charm
ing and clever a bit of acting as
it has ever been our pleasure to
witness. The Reynaud Comedy
COMPANY completed the interest
ing bill, and delighted all, young
and old. lie Timide Sosthene"
was admirably rendered and loud
ly applauded. The attendance was
gratifying, and a neat sum was
netted which will he applied to
the needs Of the st. James Church
Those who were prevented
from attending missed a rare
treat.

DEATH OF MRS. LOUIS P. DE
BAUTTE

Mrs. Louis P. De Bautte, Ia e.
Mathilda c. ERNST a native anC
life time resident of st. Charles
parish, died at her home in St
| Charles parish at 10 O'cI ock
Thursday morning April 3rd.,
from the effects of heart trouble
with which she was seized.
i Mrs. De Bautte, who was an un-
usually we'll preserved and virgor
Gus woman, was to all appearance
in the best of health until a few
weeks prior to her death. The
fatal visitation came upon her
without the slightest warning
A fter receiving the final consola-
ton Of the Catholic church, of
which religion she was i ifeIong
and ardent adherent, the sufferer
lapsed into unconsciousness, and
remained in that condition until
her soul took flight from it's NOR
tai tenement, a couple of hours
later. The end coming to her as
peacefully as the setting of the
sun at the close of a soft summers
day or the sinking to sleep of a
child.
Mrs. De Bautte was a woman
of many admirable traits of char
acter, whose life was filled with
noble deeds and kindly acts. She
loved the duties of her home, and
her Church, and made an altar
of her heart upon which were
enshrined the members of her
family, whose loss in her untime-
ly demise is indeed an irreparable
one.
Good women like her are not
forgotten, and their deeds live
after them, and are cherished
forever in the hearts of their
loved ones, and friends.
The solemn burial rites of the
Catholic church were conducted |
last Friday morning at 9:20 A.
M. at the Holy Rosary Church |
in St. Charles parish, in the pre-
sence of a large concourse of sor-
rowing relatives and sympathiz-
ing friends, after which the re-
mains were tenderly laid to rest
in the st. John Cemetery in Ed
gard, La,
To the bereaved ones we would
fain extend our coincidence, but
in the presence of such a sorrow
as theirs words are too cold and
to express what the
heart would utter, and we can
out invoke a greater power than
ours to soothe their broken hearts
and reconcile them to their great
oss.

Grand Mission Begins Sunday
At st. John Church
To Be Conducted By Two Most Dis.
tineuished MariSt Missionaries of
Boston, Mass,

1
On next Sunday Nav 3rd.
after high Mass a grand Mission
will begin at the st. John the
Baptist Catholic Church at Ed
gard, La, and all indications
tend to show that it will be the
grandest, and most brilliant so
far held in our parish.
Rev. Father H. De La Chapelle
and Rev. Father Rabel, two most
prominent, and distinguished
Missionaries of the Marist Order
will conduct this mission which
will last one week. This will per-
haps be the last opportunity that
will be offered US for a long time
to listen to these two most able,
distinguished, and eloquent
Fathers in this parish, and no
one living within reaching radius
of the st. John Church should
miss this golden opportunity, and
this rare treat.
The two beloved Fathers hail
from Boston, Mass, and are both
recognized as orators of the very
first rank. Their sermons will
not only be of a most touching,
and instructive nature, but will
be of a most beneficial nature to
all.
1t became our happy privilege,
and our pleasure to call upon our
beloved pastor Rev. Father Ri
chard last Thursday afternoon,
and the kind Father urged us to
extend through this medium a
most hearty, and sincere welcome
to all. 1t is Father Richards
great desire to see every one of
his parishioners attend every one
of the instructions given during
the Mission. The attendance, and
kind aid of one, and all is solicit
cd in making this the grandest
Mission in the history of this
parish. This no doubt can be
easily ACCOMPLISHED by our atten-
dance, ando kind aid, and as
sistance.
The same programme as issued
in this paper for the last Mission
will be followed. With fair wealth
er prevailing we see no reason
why this coming mission should
not go on record as the grandest,
most brilliant. and most largely
attended in the history of our
dear parish. Let Us all attend,
and by our kind aid, and generous
assistance We can make this
coming Mission a Gpand Success
d more ways than one.

ENCOURAGING MERCHANT MA
 RtNE

The sensible way for the extension of our merchant marine and increas- ing American commerce in American bottoms is through the encouragement rof the American ship owner. That there is capital ready and waiting to take advantage of such an opportunity is disclosed by the manner in which changes have been made from foreign to the American flag under the change in the ship registry regulations.
 Up to last week there was an addi- ton of 7s vessels flying the stars and stripes, representing an increased ton mage of over 270,000. This showing within the brief period that the amend ed privileges have been in effect rep resents the attitude of ship owners who possess foreign built vessels but who under the former regulations could not afford to enter into compe- tition with the foreign carrying trade under American requirements.
 The willingness of American capi- tai to develop and maintain our cargo carriers has been manifested. Given the proper chance, they have responded and will continue to do so, regardless of any advantages which are offered by the existing war. It is fast being demonstrated that it Is by such meth ods rather than by government own ership of such lines that the United States merchant marine will get it's most stable growth. That the govern ment needs to give it the proper amount of encouragement has been made evident but 1t is also important that it should refrain from entering into competition with it, through gov ernment ownership if it's continued growth is desired.

COMMERCE pEsrRoXERs.

Just what free lance can do in the way of causing trouble even for the mistress of the seas is shown by the list of vessels which the German fast cruisers Karlsruhe and Emden have either captured or sunk. To a large extent the reason for their sue cess in the Atlantic and Indian oceans has been the restriction of the enemy's war vessels to other and more i'm portant work. The oceans are large and they have roamed almost at will in their localities aided by speed and plenty of hiding places, even being able to secure the necessary coal and supplies.
 Though the number of vessels which have been lost through these cruisers is small compared with the large amount of British shipping which is still in operation on one side and the demorahzation of the German com merce on the other, it is nevertheless no little annoyance to Great Britain How long the German commerce destroyers can continue to eIude the pursuers is problematical but with 8 large number of vessels of the allied fleet endeavoring to run them down il is going to require some skillfu, maneuvering to escape capture ol destruction. Even though driven tc a neutral port and disInantled they have rendered magnificent service from the German point of view.

BREAK ACHILD'S C0LDBY GIVING
 SYRUP OF FIGS
CLEANSES THE LITTLE LIVER AND BOWELS AND THEY
 GET WELL QUICK

When your child suffers from a cold don't wait; give the little stomach, liver and bowels a gentle. thorough cleansing at once. When cross, pew ish, iistless, pale, doesn't sleep, eat or act naturally; if breath is bad, stomach sour, give teaspoonful of California Syrup of Figs,'' and in a few hours all the cloGged-up, consti- pated waste. sour bile and undigested food will gently move out of the bow els, and you have well, playful child again.
 If your child coughs, snuffles and has caught cold or is feverish or has a sore throat, give a good dose Of California Syrup of Figs" to evacuate the bowels no difference what other treatment is given.
 Sick children needn't be coaxed to take this harmless fruit laxative" Millions, of mothers keep it handy be- cause they know it's action on the stomach, liver and bowels is prom ct and sure. They also know a little given today saves sick child tomor- row.

field awaiting your commercial activi- ties. Europe's exports to Japan amount to 2o3.0o0,oO0 yen year. To this total England contributes 116,- 166,000 yen. Add to this 135,000,00o yen from British India and sS1, $50 from Hong Kong and you see what an enormous trade Great Britain is do- ing in Japan. Germany exports to Japan total of 61,000,000 yen and those of France and Belgium amount to 5.400,ooe yen and 9.os7,000 yen re- spectively."
 Such is a statement of possibilities which should not go unheeded. While the products of this country are being held up to the buyers of the world it is impossible to overlook the neglect ed corners but also those where our expectations have shown a decrease, for there was a time when we sold much more to China than we do to- day, at least in certain lines.

FOR HALLOWEEN.

Vegetable dolls are very funny and not hard to make They may be used as favors for choosing partners at a dance or supper Make two of a kind for this reason. Choose small apples. turnips, potatoes, carrots, beets, par snips and radishes. Dress them with bright bits of ribbon and colored or white paper napkins. Apples with clove eyes make bright looking, rosy checked lassies peeping out from sun bonnets or broad-brimmed hats trimmed with chicken feathers. Car rots and parsnips make fine dunces and clowns, if tall fools caps and stiff collars are supplied. Beets and rod ishes may be made very amusing, as a bow of ribbon may be tied to the long Eairy root, making it look like a pigtail Various expressions may be obtained by mixing and using cloves for eyes. It is not necessary to make bodies and if a long cape. effect of paper is left the dolls will sit up well.

TO CLEAN MEAT.

Some, cooks recommend washing meat after it comes from the butcher; others prefer wiping with a clean cloth and say that washing destroys the flavor; but the easiest and best method is to scrape with a sharp knife, for that removes all surface impurities, and the meat will keep better for being put away clean. Meat may be kept Dy soaring the outside, allowing each side to cook half a minute This closes the pores, so that the juice cannot escape, and the air does not so readily affect. This proceeding will also make the meat more tender.
 Fish should be cleaned and wiped. sprinkled with salt and wrapped in a clean, dry cloth to insure proper con- dition. Keep the atmosphere of the iceboX pure and odorless. Sour milk yeast, strong cheese, salt fish, all give off unpleasant odors, and meat, as well as butter and milk, absorbs these and spells the more quickly because of them.

HOME OF AMBER.

Do you know that your amber beads If they are real amber-usually come from the Baltic sea- when, after a heavy storm, large quantities of a fos- sil resin are washed up and captured in nets by fishermen, who turn it over to the Prussian government, which has the monopoly and also owns large mines along the coast, where it is dug from a certain blue stratum of earth
 The carving is usually done by women and the residue from the lathes is used for yarnish
