Improving Our Army System

II Congress adopts the plan prepared by Sec
rotary Of War Garrison for improving our army
system, it will have taken far step towards
overcoming the criminal lack Of preparation for
defense that exists today in the United States
Mr.. Garrison's plan calls for the recruiting train
ing and equippins before 1922 of the following
forces:
Regular or standing army ........... ,125, 900
Standing army reserve .............s. 10000
Irregular or continental army Of vol
unteers Of six months training. 100000
Continental army reserve ......... 100000
State national guard organizations. $4,000
4OC41 .4sAOV,OOO
Since the present European war began, Ger
many alone has lost 3,00O,00O men. Consequent
lly the total Of 100000 trained men whom Sec
rotary Garrison would Hike to have on hand in
case Of war and which probably looks large to
American eyes, in reality is only drop in the
bucket compared to what the nations defensive
needs would demand if ever it were attacked as
has been Germany, by the overwhelming forces
of coalition Of nations.
The most interesting feature Of the new plan
is the continental army of volunteers. This is

FoNTENoT SORE AT GARLAND

Hon. L. Austin Fontenot, one of
the popular attorneys of the local
bar, felt rather sore at District
Attorney Garland, during the latter
part of last week, as Mr.. Garland
was responsible for failure of Mr..
Fontenot to attend boat ride given
the Louisiana probers.
Every member of the probe COM
mission was very anxious to have
Mr.. Fontenot attend the ride, as
he is considered one of the most io-
vial of the commission, but the case
of the state of Louisiana vs. Manuel
and Lafleur was scheduled, by the
District Attorney, to take place on
last Friday, and Mr.. Fontenot's )
presence was demanded, as he was
one of the leading attorneys for the
defense.
Duncan Buie, chairman Of the
probe commission, wired Mr.. Gar
land. asking the postponement of
the case, so that Mr., Fentenot could
take the pleasure trip, but to this
Mr.. Garland would not listen. Be-
ing that the two-well known attor-
neys have been SO friendly. Mr.
Fontenot '.forgave but did not for
get Mr.. Garland for his meanness.

MISSIONARY NOTES
BY THE SOCIETY.

A missionary from India writes
very interestingly about one OF the
girls of Lucknow. She was pack
ing her satchel to leave Lucknow
she heard light tap on her door.
It proved to be one Of the native
girls just graduated the day be-
fore from our Missionary High
School. While sitting on the bed,
they talked of the exercises Of the
previous evening and of the college
course soon to begin. Growing
more confidential she told the mis-
sionary how she came to be a
Christian, OF her struggles toward
a better life, and of all she hoped
to be and do.
AS the missionary looked into the
beaming, earnest face of this girl
she felt strange thrill Of wonder
and sympathy; then the girl added
with quivefing lips that it was her
hearts desire to help and uplift
other girls in India. The mission
ary told her that they would work
together for this. will your" she
questioned eagerly. @and will you
ask the young ladies in America to
pray and work for this too?n

COMMUNICATION
Opelousas, La, May 8, 1915.

Opelousas, La, May 3, 1915.
To the Editor of the Claroin:
Did you observe the States SOM
limersault. 1t had been viciously
opposed to Constitutional Conven-
ton prior to the primaries. It's ed
itorials were interesting indeed.
But the Governor and Mayor of the
city of New Orleans, met a few days
ago, since which time, the States
has been as dumb as an oyster. In
its news item of Sunday, it writes
the impression has gained ground
during the past two days that the
Convention will be held in October.
This indicates that it has capitu-
lated. Surrendered its convictions.
Now, what your readers would
like to know, is what was it that
caused it to loop the loop" thus
suddenly. What promise Gf any,
the Governor made to the Regu-
lars, what understanding the Regu-.
lars have entered with the Cover
nor.
The people are entitled to know
what they are to receive from out
this conference.
Governor Hall and Martin Behr-
man in conference in the interests
of the people.
If they are endeayoring TO con-
serve the interests Of the taxpayers,
why this star chamber method of
formulating plans in the presence
of one person only?
AS representative of the people,
/ desire to know what did these
gentlemen promise the one to the
other. What deliveries are to be
made, when, whereg The Mayor
and the States may deliver the city
delegation, but who will undertake
to deliver the unterriffed repre-
sentatives from the country par
ishes?
The people of this state want TO
know, they must know, what took
place at this meeting, failing to OBJ
tain this information, some one may
slip a cog into the wheel.
Yours truly,
GILBERT L. DUPRE.

DIR. SHAW RETURNS TO LIVE
HERE

DR.. ]. A. Shaw, who has been
prominently identified with the
political and professional affairs of
Opelousas for the past several
years and who left this city about
two months ago to take up his per-
manent home in Sherman, Texas,
where he would better his health,
has returned. Dr.. Shaw, however,
after remaining in Texas two
months and being under the treat
ment of the best physicians of the
Lone Star state was told that he
could live in the climate of Ope-
lousas, as we'll as any where else
in the Union and that he was not
suffering from any lung trouble,
whatever.
The well-knoWn dentist returns
to Opeiousas, much to the gratifi-
cation of his many friends, in per-
feet health. He will open his Of
fee in the center of the city within
The next few days.

each other better and hence be bet
ter neighbors and better citizens.
This illustrates what co-opera-
ton, properly organized and direct
ed can do. An organization in
single community or in single
parish can do much; but the power
that such an organization can WELD
when multiplied by thirteen can do
many times more than thirteen
times as much as one organization
can do. And that is because the
psychological effects of numbers
and will force add an element to the
equation which the greatest math-
ematicians Of the race have never
been able to compute.
And it is this incalculable force
which the Southwest Louisiana De-
velopment Bureau is endeayoring to
apply in the advancement of the
material prosperity of Louisiana.
Isn't it worth while? That, in plain
English, is the meaning of the
Prosperity Campaign Can any
man in all these thirteen parishes
give a single valid argument to
justify him in staying out of it?

DIR. LAZARO is PROUD OF RURAL
ROUTES

DR.. Lazaro, distinguished repre-
sentative of the Seventh Congress
sional District, spent several days
in this city, paying visits to his
many personal and political friends
here.
Congressman Lazaro feels rather
proud in having secured the estab-
lishment of two rural routes in this
parish, in the face Of the big deficit
now existing in the United States
Treasury, on account of the Euro
pean war. 1t was only after per-
sonal appeal that Postmaster Bur-
Lesson granted DR.. Lazaro's wish.
congressman from every state IN
the Union were given the deaf ear
by Mr.. Burleson, when they be-
sieged his office, pleading for more
rural routes.
From the manner in which the
high officials" at Washington nave
been granting DR.. Lazaro's wishes
one can easily discern what kind OF
representative the well-knoWn
Grand Prairie physician is making
for the Seventh District.

Taken Over Country Roads and
City Paved Streets

A party composed of about tWent-
ty prominent citizens Of the Oak
dale and Elizabeth sections of Al
len parish motored to Opelousas on
Sunday to inspect the model roads
in st. Landry.
The Allen taxpayers, enthusiastic
good roads advocators, were COM
pletely taken up with the roads
around Opelousas and in particular
with the wood block pavements in
this city. One of the most promi-
nent members Of the party stated
that the streets of Opelousas were
the finest that he had ever witness
ed in any city the size of Opelousas.
Those who came here last Sun
day are interested in the promo
ton of good roads in Allen parish
and are enthusiastically supporting
a tax for the erection of model
in the neighborhood Of
Oakdale.
The Allen party was met at the
Lacombe hotel by Mayor Loeb and
other prominent citizens of Opelou-

DISTRICT BOUNDARY
LINES DECIDED UPON
Plaquemine and Iallet Drainage
Districts Finally Are Formed
ELECTION TO LEVY TAX TO
BE CALLED SHORTLY
Drainage Commissioners for Each
District Are Practically Selected;
All Remaining Is Appointments

The two committees appointed
TO formulate plans for the forma-
ton of the Plaquemine and Mallet
| Drainage Districts met at the Of
| fees of Littell g. LaWler in this
city last Tuesday afternoon and fl
nally agreed on the boundary lines
Of the two districts.
1t IS not known as yet how many
acres will be included in the two
districts, but those present at the
meeting on Tuesday evening ex-
pressed the belief that there were
enough lands in the two districts
to assure the taxpayers that five
mills tax for a reasonable length
of time will be sufficient to dredge
out bayous Plaquemine and MaIlet.
The Plaquemine district will en-
brace all of that section of this
parish known as Plaquemine Point,
a portion of Bellevue and Lewis
burg, the northern line of the dis
trict passing few miles southwest
|>of Opeiousas.
The Mallet district embraces all
Of Mallet, a portion OF Prairie
Ronde, Lanse la Chodiere, Swords
Station, Pitreville and Faquetaique.
Besides agreeing on the boundary
lines, the committees suggested
two boards of commissioners for
the districts. The Plaquemine
board will Most probably consist of
A. w. Dejean, Eugene V. Richard,
ST., P. P. Hidalgo. Joe Boone and
James O. Chachere. The Mallet
drainage board will likely be COM
posed of C. N. Bertrand, Allen Me-
Coy, Josephus Brown, Arthur Pre-
jean and DR.. John A. Haas.
As soon as the police jury can ap-
point three commissioners for each
board and the Governor appoint
the remaining two members Of the
two boards, the commissioners will
organize, decide upon the millage
and length of taxation, after which
they issue theft proclamation of
election.
From present indications in the
two districts it is thought that the
tax will be carried Overwhelmingly, |
as the property owners Of the
western and southern sections of |
st. Landry have been living long
enough on badly drained lands and
are now determined to secure
drainage at almost any cost.

Rain IS BENEFICIAL
TO ST. LANDRY CROPS
Drouth of Over Two Months Is
Finally Broken and Crops in
This Section Are Saved

A healty little shower on Tuesday
afternoon and soaking rain ON
Thursday evening came in time to
save the crops of this section of
the state. For over two months the
farmers Of st. Landry had been
clamoring for rain, as the dry
weather was effecting the growth
of the corn and rice, while it de-
layed the planting of cotton.
Many farmers are of the opinion
that the delay in cotton this sea-
son will cause a bumper crop this
year, as there are several in this
parish who are firm believers in
the theory of late planting; tht
boil weeviIs, they claim, will not be
able to do very much damage to
the crop this year.
Reports from over the. state are
to the effect that the Thursday
rain was general and as the
farmers throughout Louisiana were
praying for rain, it is thought that
the crops over the cotton belt have
been saved.
Should good weather set in 1t is
the consensus of opinion that st.
Landry farmers still have a chance
of making splendid crop of corn,
rice, and cotton.

OPELOUSAS winner
OF PRETTY CONTEST
Veltin Pitches Mastery Ball and
Local Club Cinclles Game
from Welsh

/ Opelousas once more came out VIC
torlous on last Sunday, defeating
the strong Welsh baseball club by
the score of to 0. Although the
score was small the game was in
no ways tight, as the Welsh boys
| did not threaten to score once dur
ing the entire game.
Toby Veltin was almost inyineibIe
as was also Guidry, who hurled for
Welsh, both hurlers delivering only
two hits. Veltin, however had the
better of the argument from almost
every angle, only two local players
bit the dust, besides five Of them
getting free passes.
The game although slow in ap-
pearance was enjoyed by the many
fans present, as it was a clean game
throughout, no wrangling what
ever occurring during the hour and
a-half play.
Duhon, the only one to score, was
issued pass, in the third, after
Peaster had gone out On grcunter
to pitcher to first; the runner was
given second on Guidry's baih, at
ter which he displayed considera-
Bile knowledge of base :llnnilg, pro-
ceeding to burglarize lhi.d and not
being satisfied with thai lie really
stole home, bringing The Whining
and only score of the game.
On next Sunday evening, May i6,
the feature series of the season will
start at Eunice, when Opelousas
will appear on strange soil for the
first time this year. The rivalry
has been SO keen between the two
st. Landry teams in recent years
that the very thought Of the two
clubs meeting on the diamond is
sufficient to arouse considerable en-
Ihusiasm among the fans of the two
teams.
On the Sunday following the
game at Eunice the two clubs will
meet for the second game of the
season in this city.
