Very Noticeable Improvement Has
Been Made in Our Light Plant

Water and Light committee, and
will be permanent improvement.
On another street circuit, ex-
tending across the railroad, also
down Lafayette street, the small
so C. p. lamps have been replaced
with 200 c. p. ones. The other
circuits will be improved as soon
as it is possible to get at them.
The Water aud Light committee
recently bought quite a number of
meters, and will install these
wherever needed so that the service
will be through meters exclusively.
The committee is offering special
inducements for new subscribers,
and it is believed that quite a few
new ones will be added to the
present long list of consumers.

There is now in progress in Con-
tinental Europe the greatest strug-
gle in the history of the world.
While the brunt of this titanic
war is of course falling on the
shoulders of the citizenship of the
nations engaged, its effects are be-
ing felt by every civilized country
in the universe.
Direct effects on the cotton
growing districts of the United
States, and the measures adopted
to protect our cotton growers and
cotton producing communities,
present conclusive evidence of the
advantages of, and necessity for,
community cooperation.
No sooner had the call to arms
been sounded throughout warning
Europe than the worlds cotton
market crumpled and fell like a
punctured balloon.
The South, with a record break
ing cotton crop almost ready to be
harvested, could find no market.
Foreign mills that had been buying
our surplus had been closed down
and domestic mills lacked capacity
for taking care of the yield in sight.

Vermilion Parish Society, for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals,
on Sunday, Oct. 18th, at 2:30 p.
m. The meeting will be held at
the public library building.
We are sending postal cards to
those whom we believe to be in
terested in this humane work. but,
of course, will not be able to reach
all those who are sympathizing
with Our efforts to teach kindness
and justice to the people, who
have under their care, defenseless
animals who cannot speak for
themselves.
This humane work can grow
only ST we cooperate to that effect.
We can get our opportunities to do
this by watching for cases where
an animal may be relieyed, either
by making longer too short check
rein or taking it off when an ami
NAL is tied to a post, or again, if
tied caretessly with a too short
rope. remains for hours with its
head bent to the ground, to life the
rope so as to put it in the right
position. The owner of the ami
imal does not think os doing this,
and very often, listens to the sug-
gestion that the animal is suffer
ing, or, if away, thanks you for
having relieved it during his alb
sence.
Another cruelty, often repeated,
is to whip numerically, sick
animal fallen to the ground, to
make him rise.
There are other means to get it
up, and if the owner does not un-
derstand this. he will be prosecut-
ed if the case is reported to the
society,
Again, it is good to suggest to
drivers of teams, when they stop
for d while, to lower the front
piece tied to the animals collar by
chains. This is weight hard on
mules and horses, and to kindly
call the drivers attention to this is
almost always considered and ac-
cepted by him.
There are many other cases of
neglect of animals, that by being
pointed out and stopped will help
to educate people in humane ways.
For this we have but to observe
conditions around US and then do
what is right
mall cases of cruelty, we all
know that this society duly incor-
porated. represents the law, and
we shall enforce it. if any delin-
Quent persists in breaking it.
We hope many citizens of the
Parish of Vermilion and of Able
vile, will come to this meeting.
The annual dues are fifty cents
a year.
If we had regular members the
few expenses. such as little feed
in q pressing case of starvation,
a small sum to be paid one who
would investigate a suspicious case,
stationary, postage. etc., would
not fall OH about three of the men,

The crude oil engine for the
Water and Light Plant is being
thoroughly tested out before being
finally accepted by the town, and
from all indications, it will prove
to be what is needed.
Mr.. Reynolds, who is here from
the factory, started the engine and
it went of at the very first attempt.
1t has not failed to start just when
it was wanted to, and there seems
to be no trouble in getting the
necessary revolutions per minute.
1t will be required to turn over at
200 revolutions, but it is capable
of doug better than 800 revolu-
tons.
The engine will undergo ex-
haustive tests for fuel consump-
ton, lubricating oil consumption,
power and efficiency. and if it
proves to be what is claimed for it,
there will be savings to the town
of approximately $3.50 month.
Below is given the amount paid
for fuel oil only for the twelve
months from May, 1913:

HARVARD CLOSED A
 SUCCESSFUL SEASON Mahan Is Probable Choice for Next Seasons Captain-25 Players Won Their H

Cambridge, Mass. Nov. 29.-With the 1914 season closed successfully the vic- tory over Yale yesterday, Harvard en- thusiasts today surveyed the material for next season.
 Head Coach Percy D. Haughton, in his eighth year as mentor of the Grim son's football teams, and the last one under his present contract, will love most of the men who worked for liar wards success at New Haven. Only three of the eleven men who started the game will return to college. Eff teen of the 25 players wno won their letter will be lost to the team.
 The crack kicking and running half back Edward w. Mahan, is the prob able choice for captain to succeed BricIley. Parson, who was brought from the crew squad to fill left tackle, and Wallace, placed at center late in the season, are the other two regu- lars remaining. Three members of last years winning eleven. J. L. Gill man and Ross Cowan. both hnemen, who have been prevented by faculty restrictions from playing recently, and Soucy, who Imped onto the field for a moment yesterday. are expected to be available.
 c. A Coolidge, R. Curtis and ! L.. Bigelow, Iinemen; E. S. King and c. A. Kinlock, backs, and s. w. D. Wat
  back when Logan was injured. are hold-over substitutes who earned their letter yesterday. Wilcox, a fleet back, is one of several promising reserves who did not get into the game
 The 1918 class team will send several teams to the varsity squad. These in cIude Enright, the spectacular full back, and captain: Robinson, another successful drop kicking halfbacli: Murray and Taylor, quarterbacks and several strong linemen. End material for newt years varsity is lacking and it is probable that Soucy. center against Yale last year, will be dmeve- oped further in that directio.
 The class of 1915, unusually prolific in football stars, including Brickley. Hardwick, Logan, Francke. T. J. Coo lidge, TrumbuIl and Pennock, will leave college without having seen a. liar ward varsity team defeated by Yale during thefr course.

DARTMOUTH ELEVEN
 oVERWHELMs SYRACUSE.
Powerful Green Team Rolled Up Big
 Score, 40 to O.

A versatile Dartmouth eleven with bull-li1e rusles, sweeping end runs and accurate passes iii it's repertoire of attack overwhelmed a heavier team from Syracuse university Saturday at Boston, 40 to 0. The game was played on d temporary gridiron laid out on Benway park.
 Man for man, the New Hampshire eleven eXcelled its opponents, took ad- vantage of nearly every one of the fre- quent fumbles by Syracuse, and used the forward pass successfully. while Syracuse could not make it's open game work
 The feature of the first period was d remarkable run of 40 yards by Ghee after receiving a Syracuse punt. It looked as though the little Dartmouth quarterback had been downed when he was seen emerging from the Syracuse players and bearing down toward the Syracuse goal.
 From this point on Dartmouth show ed her powerful line breaking qualities, taking the ball over the line by straight bucks. 4 lateral pass play which went wrong paved the way for Dartmoutfl's S second score. The ball was fumbled by the receiving back, O'Conneil. and was recovered by Winship 15 yards down toward the Syracuse goal. Dart mouth at this point showed the re- sourcefuiness of her offense and varied tfe play, using straight plunges and endurance The second touchdown was made by Curtis circling far around the Syracuse right end and crossing the line.
 Dartmouth added to her score in the third period by taking advantage of Syracuse fiukes. Curtis recovered two or these muffs, then scored another touchdown and kicked another goal An exchange of punts gave Dartmouth further advantage which the Green pushed to a fourth touchdown. It was accomplished by a forward pass over the goal line. Ghee to Perry.

YALE PLANS UNDERWAY
 FOR NEXT FOOTBALL SEASON
Blue Men Feel. That the Crimson
 Eleven Was a Powerful Machine.

New Haven. Conn, Nov. 22.-Al- though 4ale's football team went down to a crushing defeat at the hands of Harvard on Saturday, plans were un- derway today for next season. A large gathering of Yale's star players of other days discussed the coaching question and the hope was expressed that Frank Hinkey would be invited to take charge again next year The se- lection of a coach rests with the cap tain of the team. The opinion was also held that Hfnkey has laid the founda- tions of a sound system, but it will take couple of years to perfect it,
 Under Hinkey's guidance, Yale de- feated Princeton for the first time in several years. In the case of liar ward, Yale men feel that the Grim son had one of the greatest machines in modern football and that the Ell eleven, moulded largely from green material, suffered in consequence. Hin key Is one of the most popular coach es in years and great confidence is placed by the students in his ability to ultimately turn out a winning team.

team Saturday won second place in the western conference by defeating the University of Chicago, 13 to 2. in the last big game at Chicago this season. Chicago though crippled by the ab- sence of Gray. it's best back, had the strong Minnesota team on even terms, one touchdown each. until Captain Des Hardin of Chicago, who had been the mainstay of his team on defense and had repeatedly saved Chicago by his long punts, was hurt in the first play of the final quarter and taken out. Minnesota made its final touch down by successive plunges through the weakened Maroon line. Minnesota scored in the first period by end runs, after losing in a bunting contest.

 Harvard's Combination Like Clock. when the Cambridge combination held possession of the ball, the con- trast was striking. To begin with, the play was never rushed and it moved with almost clocklike precision. Evi- dence of perfect cooperation between line and backfield was always present. If the signal called for a line plunge, tho hole was almost invariably open and there were players at hand to as- sist the runner. When the ends or tackles were attacked, the manner in which the Crimson interference brush ed aside the opposing players was re- markable.
 Nothing equalling it for sustained effort has been seen in the east since the Princeton team of 1896 defeated Yale a24 to 6. When there is added to these splendid football attributes. a marked superiority in kicking and SSHSIoSl61l4p SIAS 1c.IC5S OA a 0dPEA type. the crushing defeat of Yale by Harvard is not as puEzling as appears at first sight.

 If the football authorities of the east desire to help the Red Cross war relief fund, they need only arrange a post-season game between Harvard and Dartmouth. Without going into any discussion of the possible out come, the meeting of these two elevens it is safe to say that such a. contest would draw thousands of spectators to the scene of the game and thousands of dollars to the relief fund.
