'EUNICE TEAM lNVADES
OPELOUSAS TOMORROW
Large Crowd Is Expected
Game Will Be Closely
Contested.

When the Eunice aggregation
of ball-tossers set foot upon the
turf at Comeau Park tomorrow
afternoon they will face their
strongest rivals for the amateur
championship of the State. The
teams have met twice this sea-
son and each has annexed a
game. The first game was won
by Eunice by the close score Of 8
to /, hut many local fans claim
that this was due largely to luck.
In the second game, played on
Eunice's own grounds, the Ope-
lousas boys lowered far above
the team which had defeated
them only a few weeks previous,
and Eunice did not have even a
look in at any stage of the strug-
gle-if it can be said that the
rice eaters put up a struggle at
all.
But, since the last game, both
teams have been faithfully train
ing and ought to be in splendid
condition for a long-draWn con-
test. Most of the locals have
been practicing practically every
afternoon during the week,
while, Eunice, too, has been far
from idle. The Eunice boys.
since their victory over Garden
City, will come here confident OF
turning the tables on Manager
Loeb's lively youngsters.
When seen by representative
of The Clarion, Manager Loeb
declined to give in advance the
lineup of to-morroW's game.
| So this must remaig a mystery
until Umpire Trosclair's stento-
rian voice calls, PLAY ball!'
The Frisco will run an excur-
sion from Eunice for the benefit
of the rooters from that town,

and a large crowd is expected to
accompany the team.

GRAND PRAIRIE HIGH
SCHOOL ENDS SESSION
Large Crowd Present Mr..
Luke Lafleur is Only
Graduate This Year

After another highly success
full session, the closing Exercises
of the Grand Hrairie High School
were held at the school audi
torium on Wednesday, May 9th.
The exercises were begun in
the afternoon, owing to the
length of the program. which in
cluded not only the regular com
mencement exercises, but an en-
tertainment by the undergradu-
ates Of the school. A large
crowd, eager to witness the inn
pressive ceremonies, gathered
at the school auditorium long in
advance of the time scheduled
for the raising of the curtain.
The program consisted of drills,
motion songs, choruses, recita-
tions, and orations. The child
rem performed their parts re-
markable we'll and won repeated
applause from the enthusiastic
audience.
Following the exhibition pro-
gram came the regular COM
mencement exercises. The pro-
gram was as follows: Opening
address, Prof. R. G. Childs; Vale
dictory, Luke Lafeur; Presenta-
ton Of Diplomas. Hon. Raoul
PavY, of Opelousas; Address on
School and Education, Prof.
Ernest Lafeur.
The speaker Of the day was
Mr.. Pavy. He delivered an elo-
quent, stirring and enthusiastic
address, both in French and
English, and was well received
by the audience. He spoke on
the relation of patrons to the
school; the necessity of public
support; the evils of parents
criticizing teachers in the pre-
sence of their children, and the
imperative need of keeping the
Grand Prairie High School on
the approved lists. Mr.. Pavy
closed his address by compli-
menting the people of Grand
Prairie upon their school and its
thorough equipment to advance
the cause of education. He
awarded the diploma to the only
! graduate, Mr.. Luke Laheur.
The Lazaro medal, awarded by
Hon. Ladislas Lazaro of the
Seventh Congressional District,
for the highest average for the
entire session in the high schoo
department, was won by Luke
Lafeur.
The exercises were concluded
by a very pleasing address de
livered in French, by Prof,
Ernest Lafeur. He made q
stirring appeal for better schools
and higher education, and dwell
particularly upon the need Of
parents cooperating with teach
ers and students. Mr.. Lafeul
made a decided impression upor
his hearers.

warfare have only done incalcu-
liable injury to the cause, and
contributed largely toward pro-
longing the struggle. All the
progress we have made is due
entirely to the noble efforts of
those who have recognized the
individual and corporate rights
of their opponents and respected
them.
A traffic as hoary with age as
the liquor trade, is composed
largely Of people who believe
their business is as legitimate as
any other, but that it has been
abused, like all other, by men
who recognize no principles of
justice or equity. / do not say
this because my sympathy is
with liquor dealers; but because
I am convinced that there are
men among them who are just
as honest in their convictions
that their trade is legitimate
commerce, as | am that it is not,
morally syeaking,
To fight fair is the slogan of
my party, therefore appear be-
fore you fully prepared to show
you the full value of the liquor
traffic to our industrial and COM
mercial life; just what it pro-
duces; just what it destroys, and
what the nation would do with
out it. How we shall provide
for the people they employ; what
will be done with the brewing.
distilling and vintage plants; also
what will replace the revenue
they pay. And last but not
least, just how near we are to
the end of our struggle for free
dom from the devastating reign
of King Alcohol.
UNCLE SANS PARTNERSHIP
WITH KING ALCOHOL.
In 1862 Abraham l. in c 0 | n
signed the national death-war-
rant in the guise of the Internal
Revenue Law, thus yoking I'm
Gle Sam to our Industrial Moloch
the Great Destroyer. /" AS a
result of this partnership there
are now in our country, accord
ing to the liquor dealers esti-
mate, about 1000 breweries, dis
tilleries, vintages; barrel, box
and stave factories, saWmills,
jug and bottle factories; about
25O, 900 saloons and beer gar
dens, 500, 900 homes for 1,500,
900 people employed; a payroll
of 81, 500, 600, 600; about go, 900
farms to produce the necessary
fruit, grain, etc. for the manu-
facture of the liquor and to pro-
duce food for the employees; be-
sides about 20 railroads of 1000
miles each to handle the raw and
finished products essential in all
of these various lines of indus
try. While about 30, 600 institu-
tions such as wholesale and re-
tail grocery, feed, clothing and
furniture stores, banks, schools
and real estate offices owe their
existence to the demands Gre
ated by the great and prolific
liquor industry; and I have over
estimated all this.
| WHAT UNCLE SAM GOT.
Unfortunately for poor old
Uncle Sam the industrial and
commercial part of the traffic is
not all, for there is another
phase to the business that SO
completely obscures the CONNER

production, as to entirely elimi-
nate their consideration in our
plans of reconstruction.

 "Thy improper use of explosives and the use of improper explosives have directly or indirectly caused large share of the fatal accidents and serious injuries to the men.

In most of the metal mining states the statutory pro- visions are incomplete and inadequate, and there is the greatest disparity be. tween them as to what constitutes suf. ficieut ventilation to keep mine air pure. In fact no adequate system of ventilation is generally in force today in the metal mines of the country"
