EUNICE EXCURSION TO
BRING HUNDREDS
On Account of Postponement SUN
day Game Locals Go to Eunice.
THIRD GAME OF SERIES TO
DRAW LARGE CROWD
Manager Loeb to Send Strongest
Team Ever on Eunice Diamond
Tomorrow and Expects to Cop

Manager Edward L. Loeb of the
Opelousas baseball club will go to
unice tomorrow afternoon with
the strongest aggregation of ball
players that ever represented this
city in amateur baseball. With the
assistance Of the roofing which will
be furnished by several hundred
Opelousas fans it is expected that
the local ball players will cop the
third game Of the series.
The excursion train which will
leave Opelousas at 4 o'clock is ex-
pected to be crowded to its capac-
ity, as the local fans, being disap-
pointed at the postponement last
Sunday, with renewed enthusiasm,
intend invading Eunice to carry
the laurels back to this city.
The Opelousas boys have been
practicing daily and every player
now claims that be is in mid-sea-
son form and ready to meet any foe.
II has been suggested by several
fans that the ladies of Opelousas
get together in the matter OF giving
an entertainment of some sort, in
order TO raise funds for the base
ball club. The people of this city
desire good ball players and in or
der TO get these plenty money is
needed. While the ball club is in
no financial distress little surplus
fund would materially aid in MAX
ing the Opelousas club the strong
est in the state, which is the desire
of every fan in this city. The la
dies have always shown desire to
assist all public sports and It is
pointed out that If an entertain
ment would be given for the bene-
fit Of the ball club, that it could be
made financial success.
With the cooperation of the
leading business men of 0pelousas
the ladies of this city would have
no difficulty in giving this enter
tainment. The fair sex Of Opelou-
sas now have the opportunity Of
showing their real baseball spirit
and at the same time give the peo-
pie of this city good entertain
ment. Now is the time to start the
ball a-rolling, let us hear from the
LADIES.

YOUNG LANCl.OIS Is
SHOT AT LEONVILLE
Charlie Moreau Mistakes Man for
Burglar and Shoots Him Down
DEAD MAN ENTERS HOUSE
AND FRIGHTENs CHILDREN
LancIois Locks Himself in Devil
lier's Home While No One is
There Neigibors Surround House

4 killing which is considered ac-
cidental took place in the Pecan
aire section Of this parish, not far
from LeonVilie, on last Friday
evening late. Charlie Moreau shot
and killed a member Of the Lam
clois family, mistaking him for a
burglar.
Lanclois who is reported to have
been feeble minded, entered the
home of Eugene Deyillier, while no
one was at home, Mr.. and Mrs. De-
villier being on a visit to Arnaud-
vile, and locked himself inside.
When the Devillier children, re-
turning from school, late Friday
evening, attempted to enter the
house, they discovered that some
one was inside, Lanclois showing
against the door as the children
endeavored to open it. Getting
alarmed the Devillier children
quickly summoned assistance from
the neighbors, Whereupon several
Immediately surrounded the
house, thinking that a burglar was
inside. They ordered Lanclois to
come out under threats of being
shot and as the intruder was at
tempting to flee through window,
young Moreau, taking the white
man for a negro, shot him, death
being almost instantaneous.
The accident was a shock to the
entire Pecanaire section, as it was
considered a rather unfortunate
affair, since LancIois has long been
pitied as feeble minded person.
Young Moreau came to Opelousas
and surrendered himself to the au-
thorities, but was allowed to go
back home unmolested as the kill
ing is regarded as merely acciden-
tai.

Local Attorney Mentioned as Prob-
able Candidate for Convention
DOES NOT DENY RUMORs
THAT HE is CANDIDATE.
Have Not Made Up My Mind Says
Mr.. Lewis, "But i am Consider
ing the Proposition Seriously

1t has been rumored for the last
week or ten days that Hon. John
w. Lewis. prominent local attor-
ney, would be candidate for dele
gate to the constitutional conyen-
tion, and when interviewed on the
subject Tuesday afternoon Mr..
Lewis did not deny that he would
in all probabilities be a candidate.
you know" he said, 4 have been
in the Democratic party for nearly
twenty years and have always
fought for the party as hard as
possibly could. Ny friends would
like for me to be a delegate to the
convention and they have repeat
edly asked me to make the race
II will be remembered that Mr..
Lewis made the race for delegate
to the convention Of 1914 and was
only defeated by one vote by Hon.
Edward B. Dubuisson.
In the i9ii-i2 gubernatorial cam
.paign Mr.. Lewis was president OF
the st. Landry Good Government
Club and made a strenuous fight
for Governor Hall, who lead ID q
three conored race by a majority Of
a little over one hundred votes.
Mr.. Lewis is well known through
out the state, was at one time mem
toned as possible candidate for
governor for which reasons his
intimate friends are of the opinion
ne would make a good delegate.
It is not known when the election
for delegate to the constitutional
convention will be called to take
place, but It is supposed that it
will take place sometime during
the latter part of summer

The st. Landry High School will
close on Tuesday, June 22nd, ac-
cording To statement made pub
lie during. the week. The gradu-
alton exercises will take place in
the large High School auditorium
on Tuesday night,
The graduation class this year
numbers thirteen, eight girls and
flye boys, for the first time IN
many years having 50 many young
men graduates.
On account of the fact that the
Opeousas school was delayed II
opening last September this school
is allowed to run two weeks longer
any other in the parish.
Prof. Prescott has made a very
great success with the school this
year, the attendance being larger
than ever before. If proper ar
rangements can be made to oper-
ate the local school the full nine
months term next year it would
not be surprising to see the Ope-
lousas school flourish more than
ever.

Southwestern Reflections
eeeo..i

W'eeSVS'es@9V'ssQ@SW SWVVessGVS0s.V0ysss.
Nature has indicated by the pro-
fusion of forage crops what can be
produced in Southwest Louisiana
and by our mild and equable eli-
! mate, that live stock production is
] the one industry that may be pro-
I duced here at greatest profit. In
deed many ample fortunes have
been made simply by permitting
! the cattle to grow up on the wild
ranges without an ounce of other
! food from he day of birth until
brought to market.
/ How much more important the
industry will become when it shall
I be conducted upon a scientific ba-
sis-when cattle tick and Charlton
will be eradieated, when highbred
cattle shall take the place OF
scrubs and silos shall be as con-
spieuous by their abundance as
/ they are now by their absence.
This leads up TO the subject Of
! silage, for many silos have been
constructed already in Southwest
| Louisiana and the number is grow
ing continually. Corn, soy beans,
| furnish an excellent material with
which to fill silos; and as soon as
| the season is rapidly advancing. no
time should be lost by those farm
ers who may be planning to have
an abundance of succulent food for
their cattle next winter.
It is coming more and more to be
understood that the farms OF
Southwest Louisiana can be put to
no more profitable use than to thai
of producing fat butcher and dairy
stock. and the sooner we get into
that line Of work the sooner will
the prosperity of this section pc
placed upon an enduring basis. IN
an important sense the live stock
industry is a manufacturing in-
dustry, inasmuch AS through that
means the rough provender and
other raw material produced upon
the farm are converted into tooth
some steaks, chops, hams. nacor
and many etc.
But, whines the lneyltaDle oD-
iector, we have no packing houses
and until we have them, what shalt
we do with our cattle and hogs al.
ter we raise them?'' veryWhefe
we find the man who would put the
cart before the horse. Enterprise
is blocked and investments dis
couraged because everytime
building is suggested some man IS
sure to bob up who insists that the
roof should be constructed before
the foundations have been laid. We
have no more use for q packing
house in Southwest Louisiana al
this time than dog has use for an
other tail. If some one would be
foolish enough to put one up Il
would use up all the available cat
tie suppy within ten days.
When we get livestock enough
to justify a packing house no dlf-
flculty will be found in getting one.
In the meantime there is a large
and increasing demand which is
presently supplied from Kansas
City and other western packing
houses. Let US supply Southwest
Louisiana with packing houses and
dairy products and after we have
done that we can profitably snip
our surplus cattle to Fort Worth,
st. Louis and Kansas, until pre-
duction becomes sufficient to Justi-
fy a packing house
After the industry shall be hrulfy
established and our production
shall Justify it we may take up Inc
question of establishing packing
houses with assurance of success
fully putting such enterprises over.
