n CLARION
THE PARISH FAIR?

Will any one be so kind as to in
form us what has happened to
the st. Landry Parish Fair AS
ISOLATION? Can it be possible
that all the trumpeting and pa
triotic speeches of enthusiastic
citizens have accomplished
naught? Are st. Landry farm
ers to be deprived Of the priv
ileges which farmers of other pro-
gressive parishes enjoy? In
short, will St. Landry ever have
a parish fair?
Some two months ago a move
ment was launched to organize
the st. Landry Parish Fair AS
ISOLATION and every indication
pointed to the ultimate sue
cess of this organization. A
president, a secretary. a board
of directors and other officers
were elected. To these, to
whom the future of the parish
fair was entrusted by those will
ing to subscribe money for the
benefit of the farmers of this
parish, to these the Clarion and
the people Of st. Landry would
ask them whether they intend to
do anything?
We realize the fact that the
organization of such a body
means a great deal of work with
no pay, but we also realize the
fact that public spirited men,
who signify their intention to
work in this manner, should not
give up before their task is ac.
complished. The time is short,
October is now at hand and nc
definite step has been taken rel
alive to the parish fair. The
Clarion has promised the gentle
men at the head of the proposed
st. Landry Parish Fair Associa-
ton all the assistance it can rem
der in promoting the interest OF
this organization, and it stands
ready to-day to fulfil it's promise
may, it wants to know, in be-
half Of the st. Landry farmers
whether those who have prom
Used to do SO much really intend
to fulfil their promises?
The time for action is now.
We have already talked too much
on this subject and the day will
come that the farmers Of St.
Landry will have no more con-
fdence in the people of this city
who start such a move and al
low it to dwindle down to moth
ing before the initiative step is
taken.
We should think that 1T is high
time for the members Of the
board Of directors Of the st. Ian
dry Parish Fair Association as
semble and acquaint the anxious
public with their intention. St.
Landry is supposed to hold its
fair during the middle of Octo-
Der, consequently if we are bent
upon having an agricultural
snow in this city it is high time
that we stop footing our horn and
get down to work.
Let us all get together on this
matter and see if we cannot ac-
complish something after these
twenty years Of casing"

WE NEED A BAND.

Hardly one citizen of Opelou-
sas will deny that this city needs
4 brass band.
The weekly concerts given on
the Courthouse square by the
0pelousas band, which recently
disbanded on account of having
no leader, were becoming very
popular they afforded a recrea-
to the people of this city and it
is to be regretted that we have
been unable to re-organize this
band, which already had made
such wonderful progress.
The Mayor and members Of
The board Of Aldermen have al
ready signifed their intention of
appropriating a small sum of
money to the 0pelousas band, in
order that a band master can be
secured. They have all realized
that the Friday night concerts
have placed a damper upon the
feelings of many Opelousas peo-
pie, nay many country people,
who were in the custom of driving
in buggies and automobiles.
Let the business men assist
Mr.. White and others in re-or-
the band and within
the next few days an able band
leader can easily be secured for
d very nominal salary.

You hear a roar like water falling

with his arm raised high.
Into your ear he begins to count the
fatal figures that mean defeat and
oblivion for you. You try TO rise and
the voices sound fainter, something

can see the arms of your opponent
before you. Instinct tells you TO
cover up. You feel something near
you, you know what It is
Then with one wild, fierce. des-
perate lunge you let go with all the
strength left in your crumbling body
YOU land with your right glove flush
