NORMAL SCHOOL NOTES.
ltens of Interest from State lnstltu-
ton at Natchitoches.

Friday night of last week the lady
members of the faculty residing on
the Hill entertained the club girls
At a fancy dress affair. The cos
tumes worn We're exceedingly cleV-
or and original, and everything, in
Guiding Red Cross nurses, gypsies,
negroes. Mutt and Jeff, widows,
bride and groom, Mephisto, histori-
cal characters and what not, was
represented The festivities were
begun by a grand march and dane
ing and games were enjoyed through
out the evening. Delicious refresh
ments were served, and everyone
present had the best time ever and
hope that we shan't have to wait
fill st. Valentines day to enjoy
similar pleasure.
Saturday marked the close of the
basketball season here, Louisiana
College playing our boys two games.
In the morning the score was IL to
IL in their favor, in the afternoon
the score was 21 to Is in our favor.
The games were very interesting
ana enthusiasm ran high. A large
crowd witnessed both contests, which
were played in Boyd Hall Auditorium
on account of the inclemency of the
weather.
The Pericleans on Saturday night
buried their troubles, plans and
crftique. The obsequies were at
tended by every member of the class
and much weeping and wailing was
1oC rifn a n.y-
formed. The funeral procession pro-
ceeded to Boyd Hall, where those
participating in the wake were served
a sumptuous repast.
Thursday was a great day for the
Pericleans, better known as Tenth
Termers," for thereon their names
were posted for graduation. Since
then they have trod on air with
heads high and given their feet
some bumps. They now occupy sepa-
rate tables in dining hall. On Sun
day President Roy took dinner in
the club as their guest and made
beautiful and impressive talk. Many
toasts were offered, numerous yells
Were given by them and the student
body, and much merriment created
AS a grand finale they visited the
last resting place of their beloved
(??) plans and troubles. We hope
that here they have buried all their
troubles and that much happiness
will be theirs when they enter upon
their duties in the state.
The weather is ideal-green shoots
are seen springing up everywhere,
This is proof positive that spring
is here, but stronger yet is the
proof given by the club boys, who
are rushing the season by wearing
straw hats. But then we know that
Normal boys are some Beau Brun1-

WILD FOWLS SEEK PRESERVES.
Refuge Stations ThickIy Populated
with Birds of All Kinds.

Stanley Arthur, ornithologist OF
the State, Conservation Commission,
returned Sunday from a trip of two
On the gulf coast, where he was
sent by the commission to look ov-
er the work done for the protection
of wild game: He visited the Marsh
Island state game preserve and the
Ward cIlhenny preserve, and went
also to Grand Cheniere, where the
Rockefeller Foundation grounds are
located.
Il found that all of these preserves
are thickly populated with game of
all descriptions said Mr.. Arthur.
AT Marsh Island I saw flocks OF
wild geese running in number from
1000 to 1000. In theI marsh i rode
on horseback into a flock of 5000
geese and got close enough to make
photograph of them, but they rose
when l was 125 feet away L saw
the greater and lesser snow geese,
blue goose, Canadian goose, brant,
etc."
Mr.. Arthur said that at Marsh
Island he saw sixty-six species of
birds in harbor and all species of
the conservation boat Louisiana the
party was able to go within half a
mile of the shore along the Rookie
feller Foundation preserves, and in
two hours saw twenty-five f1ocks of
wild geese, each ranging in num-
ber from 5000 to 25,000 They were
rising and settling, the hour being
from 8 to II a. m., when many of
them go to the sand reefs to get
sand to enable them to digest the
meals they eat at night.
"At Grand Cheniere, which is not
state preserve, the ducks We're
wild, but very numerous, and all
species of water fowl were seen.
Going through the intercoastal canal
to the -McIlhenny preserves,
Mr.. Arthur says he encountered the
most ducks, the flocks of from 800 to
1000 including canvasback, blue-Wing
teal, etc.
One of the noteworthy sights at
the state preserves was visit of
a trumpeter swan, the only one seen
Iol Soy Cl al Cdl anu d oESSlC0 Sotk1-
monty believed to be extinct They
have. been attacked by hunters be-
cause their skins are worth from
500 to $3.50 each. The one seen
was with flock of Canadian geese.
Warden Trahan stated that four
weeks ago a pair Of whooping cranes
appeared and remained about nine
days, the first the warden had seen.
These things show said Mr.
Arthur, that the state game pre-
serves are doing just what was ex-
pected, attracting birds of the
rarest species as well as the COM
moner varieties, and the officials
hope that the trumpeten swan will
return and bring its mate and young
and that the whooper cranes will
do likewise"
The trip was made near the close
of the season, when the birds are
pairing and starting north, and it
showed that the amount of geese at
tracted by the preserves is much
larger than had been anticipated.
The naturalist of the state museum
accompanied the party and will pre-
care specimens and photographs fer
the exposition at San Francisco
Times-Picayune.

cHARRoN VACCINATION.
Stock Owners Should Begin Now to
Protect Animals from Infection.

To the Live Stock Owners OF the
State:
Past experience has taught that
leGt results are obtained when an
lIaals are yaccinated against char
Don early in the spring so as to
allow about 80 days in which to Sc
cure protection before the season
approaches when charbon infection
usually develops.
The State Live Stock Sanitary
6oard strongly urges, therefore, that
in those sections of the state in
which eharbon infection has been
nnown to exist in previous years,
vaccination of animals should be
commenced not later than March l.
That is, the first dose, of dou-
Ele-dose vaccine, should he given at
that time.
If stock owners will give this mat
ter their careful attention, it will
increase the number of protected
animals at the beginning of the
charbon season, and materially limit
the spread of the disease, should
the coming summer prove favorable
to the development of charbon in.

LOUISIANA cAULIFLoWER.
First Straight Car Brings High Price
in New York Market.

The following article appeared in
the last issue of the Packer, under
date New York, Feb. II:
The first straight car of Louisi-
ana caulifloWer that ever came to
New York arrived here Friday of last
week, and was received by A. E.
Meyer & Co., who have been receiv-
ing boat and express shipments from
that section this winter. The stock,
which came through In a refrigera-
tor car, was grown and shipped at a
point just above New Orleans.
Louisiana caulifloWer is something
new on the New York market and
it has only been in the last year or
SO that Louisiana has been growing
the product for the northern mar
kets. However, the growers have
met with such success that there
likely will be close onto 1000 acres
in caulifIoWer produced there next
season. The product is fine-white,
solid and tender. It Is packed one
dozen to the crate, same as Cali
fornia. The car arriving last Fri
day showed up in great shape.
AoOuk SSGgeuey-ll9G per cent Oh II
sold out at SLIGO to s1.75 per crate,
while the top on California was s1.50.
The remaining twenty-five per cent
in the car was poor and looked as
though it was old and had been cut
some time before the rest, as it had
a yellow tint It ranged from rs
cents to $1.25.
Shipping this car to New York
proved that the stock can be de-
liverad here in good condition"
The car of caulifloWer referred to
in this article was shipped by the
Louisiana Distributing Company, of
Thibodaux, which is the central sell
ing organization of the different
truck associations along Bayou La
fourche.

PROMOTION FOR GuEYMARD.
Appointed immigration Agent of r
G. p. in louisiana.

The many friends here of E. P
Gueymard were gratified to learf
Of his promotion to the posi- o.
state agent in charge of immigration
work for the Texas and Pacific
Railroad, as related in the follow
ing article quoted from the Times
Picayune of Feb. 10:
The big policy of development be
ing carried out by the Texas anC
Pacific under the vigorous direction
of e. F. Kearney, first vice pres
ident, has reached the company's i'm
migration department, and the an
nouncement was made by Neal NJ
Leach, general traffic manager, that
E p. Gueymard had been appointed
immigr tion agent for all the state
Oh Louisiana, with headquarters in
New Orleans.
This arrangement abolishes the
joint immigration service OF the
Texas and Pacific and the st. Louis
Iron Mountain and Southern, and in
the future the roads will operate
their departments separately. T
G. kimber formerly was immigration
agent, acting for both lines, and
Mr. Gueymard was his assistant
Mr.. Kimber will remain in charge
of the work for the St. Louis, Iron
Mountain and Southern, and Mr..
Gueymard will have charge of the
Texas and Paeific's work in this
state.
''Mr. Gueymard does not assume
charge until March /, but as soon
as his appointment was confirmed
he entered upon the preliminary
work of perfecting his department,
and named S. e. Redfern as his as
sistant. Mr.. Redfern is well known
in New Orleans, and was United
States immigration agent in charge
Of the new station at Algiers fo1
several years.
There is no man in southern de-
velopment better known than Mr..
Gueymard. He has been identified
with immigration work since 1908,
and has brought big returns to sew
eral important railroad systems
He was a Catholic priest, and be-
fore entering immigration work was
pastor of several churches in the
parishes, and assistant rector of
the Church of the Holy Name of
Mary, under Father Larkin, in Al
giers He obtained permission to
leave the ministry to take up i'm
migration work, and was first en-
gagged in peopling a section in the
northwest with Catholic families for
the Chicago, Milwaukee and ST.
Paul Railroad. He was SO success
ful in this venture that Vice Presi-
dent Kearney several years ago Of
fered him a position doing general
immigration work on the Louisiana
lines of the Texas and Pacific. Since
then he has bror 1T hundreds Of
desirable Immigrants to Louisiana,
and has promoted scientific farm
ing on all sections of the Texas and
Pacific
