ALONG THE
RACEWAY
Some of the Gossip of the
Canoeist.
NOTES OF PARK.
People Are Struggling to Spend
Their Time in the City
Park These Days.

Only the weather prevents the pub
lie from enjoying the beautiful race
way, the great lakes, the walks and
drives of the wonderful City Park. A
CLINT of sunshine and the people throng
the Park. Just a little bit of high
temperature and the graceful canoes
are taken from the racks and happy
parties are gliding along the stream
and enjoying the outing.
Picnic parties are anxious to be
out in the open and enjoy luncheon
| under the trees. The canoe hampers
are working whenever the weather
will let them.
A few days ago a party of young
folks, six young ladies, comprising a
| sewing circle, which has been meet
ing during the winter, enjoyed ca
| noe party with luncheon at Rney
| Point. The affair was in honor of
Miss Nellie Bradford, who yesterday
left for California.
The other day ten young people
from Salem came over to Bridgeton in
an automobile, parked their machines
at the foot of the raceway and went
up to the Park in several canoes. They
all remained up at Sunset Lake until
late in the evening.
Mrs. Harry Kirchhoff has been en-
itertaining Mrs. Grover Apgar, of
Dinellen, N. j., AMID much of the time
has been spent in the pretty canoe
"Creobelle."
Porto Rico friends have been enjoy
ing the raceway and canoe pleasures
with Mrs. Samuel Shull and Miss Ber-
tie Shull.
Mr.. and Mrs. Edward Blair, will
miss the raceway this summer. They
were devotees of the sport and were
much in the handsome canoe May
flower. Mr.. and Mrs. Blair have gone
to Buffalo, N. Y.
There were two automobile parties
here from Elmer a few days ago and
they spent most of the day up the
Iraceway.
The beautiwul Catalpa trees are in
bloom in Morningside Park and they
attract a great deal of attention.
| Thomas M. Stiles has ordered from
the Pleasure Boat Compan va beauti-
full and exclusive Morris canoe, which
is being made to his order.
Cortland Duffield, who has been
depending couple of weeks here, is
returning to his home in Pittsburg,
Pa. While here Mr.. Duffield did not
miss day from his canoe when the
weather would permit.
Policemen are being stationed along
the Park driveway and they are rapid
lily overhauling speeding automobilists
and motor-cyclists.
Mr.. and Mrs Harry Mccormick are
Inow a part of the canoeing colony
along the raceway. They enjoy their
boat lot
Rapidly all of the row boats and big
Iskiffs are disappearing from the race
way. AS soon as the Pleasure Boat
Company gets hold of one it is sold
and goes into the Cohansey, out at
East Lake, to Millville, Elmer, Alcyon
Park or elsewhere.
A. H. Lupton, Sr., has purchased for
his son A. H. Lupton, Jr., handsome
model canoe, medium green in color
and nicely equipped.
The continuous development and
beautifying of Morningside Park con-
tinues much to the delight of the pub
lie.

OPELOUSAS SCHOOL TO
RUN FULL Term
Money Secured from Loacl Banks
and School Will Continue.
MAINTENANCE TAX TO
BE VOTED ON TUESDAY.
Thompson Says that ITn,ces Tax Is
Voted School Here VIII No Long
Be Classed A High School.

When it was discovered that the
parish school board treasury was
depleted and funds for the continu-
ance of the local high school were
limited the city council. as is GUS
tomary, authorized its head, Mayor
Edward L. Loeb, to negotiate loan
for sufficient money to Onerate the
high school the remainder of the
term. The same bankers who came
to the rescue of the Opelousas High
School last year were again willing
to let Mayor Loeb have the money.
The patrons of the Opelousas High
School are indebted to Mavor Loeb
DR.. J. A. Haas, the st. Landry State
Bank and the Opelousas National
Bank.
In speaking Of the shortage of
maintenance funds and of the ap-
preaching school tax parish Su-
perintendent Thompson said: IF
the taxpayers of Opelousas should
vote down this tax the Opelousas
High School will no onger be class
ed as high school by the state
board of education. The city is no
longer able to bear the brunt of
the attack, and unless the tax is
voted next year we will be COM
PEELED to close down this school af-
ter six months. Opelousas should
not let Eunice, Melville and Wash.
ington be in the lead in education
and that is just what will take
place in the event that the taxpay-
ers should turn down our PROPOSE
tion."
The school maintenance tax will
come up on next Tuesday.

MISSIONARY NOTES
BY THE SOCIETY.
Who owns the wool?

Who owns the wool?
The question is one which each OF
us can ask to advantage. Christ IS
the Shepherd, and we as Christian
people, are the sheep. One would
think that the owner of the sheep
would own the WOOL In the March
Missionary Voice we read that there
were $4,000 less in 1914 than the
previous year given to missions.
This deficit shows something wrong
somewhere for are we not Us
sheep? Another question is Who
is getting this wool? If we do not
let God have it we are cheating Him
of His own.
1.-The mightiest controversy of the
age is over WOOL" The triumph
mt march Of Gods army is slower
ed up waiting for US to settle the
wool question. If Gods sheep were
properly sheared. they would
abound in health, andA countless
missionaries could be sent as torch.
bearers to every benighted regioI
of the world.

CHAEPER RATES IN
VIEW FOR ST. LANDRY
Southwest Louisiana Men Demand
Same Rates as Baton Rouge.
MERCHANTS WILL SAVE
is MIR. LOEB'S CLAIM.
Opeolusas Alone Will Save $4,000
Annually il Citizens Win Case
Against Interstate Commission.

: If Mayor Loeb, of this city. and
other prominent men of Southwest
Louisiana, representing the Drincl-
pal places in Southwest Louisiana,
succeed in convincing the Inter
state Commerce Commission that
St. Landry and other parishes
should be given the advantage of
freights, now enjoyed by Baton
Rouge and Alexandria.
The merchants of Opelousas alone
will save over $4,000 in freight an
nually.
On last Wednesday Mayor Loeb.
representing Opelonsas, met and
eonferPedd with several representa-
tives from Southwest Louisiana
towns, at Baton Rouge: an inter-
view was held with Assistant at
torney General Barrow with a view
of taking necessary steps before
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion TO procure equal freight rates
with Alexandria and Baton Rouge,
for Southwest Louisiana merchants.
When intervieWd on Thursday
morning Mayor Loeb stated: This
action is made necessary from the
fact that sometime ago the Inter-
state Commerce Commission grant
ed the railroad companies the right
to increase rates into Opelousas
and surrounding towns. This in
crease wasopposed by this section
through the state Commission but
theincrease was granted by the In
terStase Commission. reserving to
these Southwest Louisiana towns
the right to show that they are en-
titled to the Baton Rouge combi-
nation or water rate. Several towns
were represented at Baton Rouge
and necessary action will be taken
to raise funds to get together the
data showing how unjust and dis
eriminatory these rates are.
while in Mr.. BarroW,s office |
was shown kilograms and letters
from different towns assuring ,ls
of their willingness to cooperate
in this movement. If successful.
it will mean saving to the Ope-
lousas merchants alone of about
$4,000 annually"
Mayor Loeb besides acting as a
representative of Opelousas. went
also as representative for the
Progressive League. as Mr.. L. H.
Morhinveg, the president and live
wire of the league was unable to
attend.

CIVIC FAIR A SUCCESS.

The civic fair held at the Band
Auditorium on Friday, Saturday
and Sunday of last week, proved to
be great success in every way. ex-
cept financially. Mr.. Frederics. who
engineered the scheme of starting
a civic fair in Opelousas. showed
the merchants of Opelousas few
things in the line of progressive
ness. The young people Of the city
greatly enjoyed the social features
of the fair and there is no doubt
that should the fair be held semi
annually it would become to be one
Of the most popular occasions in
the city.
One of Opelousas' most progress
sive merchants in speaking of the
fair stated: Il am sorry to say that
the merchants of this city did not
all take advantage of this opportu-
nifty to exhibit their goods at the
same time coming in closer touch
with the people and the other
merchants Of Opelousas. | have
had great success in exhibiting my
goods at the fair, and | am sure
that other merchants who patron
lied the fair had as much success
as |.
