BIBLE CLASS ORGANIZED.
New Religious Movement Auspiciously
Launched at Vacherie.

One of the recent happy social
events in our neighboring territory
was a Sunday School banquet given
Friday night of last week in the Y.
NJ. c. A. social rooms at Vaeherie.
About forty men were in attendance,
and the ladies of the community serv-
ed them a sumptuous lunch of vari-
Gus salads and varieties of cake, with
coffee. Excellent addresses were de-
livered by 0. B. Webb, of New Or
leans, Fl. L. Baker, of Plattenville,
and Messrs. Smith and Champion, of
Burton. Mr.. Smith as president and
Mr.. Champion as teacher, were Of a
party of five members of the Burton
Bible class who motored to Vacherie
for the occasion.
At the conclusion of the addresses
mems Bible class was organized,
with the following officers: Verne
Davis, sawyer for the Vacherie Lum-
Der Co., president; E. A. Thibodeaux,
chief engineer, chairman of the mem
bership committee; w. B. Fisher,
shipping clerk, chairman Of the SO
eial committee; Jack Donohoe, yard
foreman, chairman of the devotional

the cry of "pork barrel Even the
adoption of the resolution was op-
posed by pin-headed congressman
from Wisconsin upon the ground that
should the new committee succeed in
finding plan to stop this annual de-
struction Of life and property, what
ever plan they proposed would be
..likely to afford an avenue to re-
claim private lands along the Missis-
sippi at public expense"
In the formation of the new corn
n1ittee, Louisiana, the constant and
inevitable victim Of sl4ase annual
floods, whose resources are stretched
to the breaking point every year to
keep the flood waters of other states
off of her rich alluvial lands, was
given representation in the person of
Representative Riley j. Wilson of the
fifth congressional district. Let US
hope the naming of this committee
will prove the forerunner of an in
telligent plan for the control of the
floods which annually devastate the
richest section of the continent.

RELIEF IN SIGHT At LAST.
Congress TO Make Investigation of
Subject of Flood Control.

Last week, upon the Initiative of
Speaker Clark, the house Of repre-
.sentatives authorized the appointment
of standing committee on flood con-
troll. The purpose of the committee
is to make a painstaking scientific in
vestigation of the whole subject of
flood control, vitalizing a movement
that has been agitated in congress for
several years for coordination of
forces that have had to do with in
ternal waterways, floods and kindred
subjects.
The need of such a scientific in
vestigation was set forth by Speaker
Clark himself in advocating the
adoption of the resolution. Whether
we may procure food control by the
construction of reservoirs or by side
canals or in any other way | do not
know he said, "but do know that
last year there was destroyed by
floods in Kansas, Missouri, Illinois
and Iowa alone $100,000,000 worth
of property and | judge enough in
the United States to pay the entire
national debt. If it can be stopped
this committee should find out how
to do it. The scheme is broader than
the improvement of the Mississippi.
1t applies to all other rivers as well. !"
People who live in the districts af-
fected will not accuse Speaker Clark
of exaggeration These enormous
losses, not only Of property but of life
as well, have gone on year after year
unchecked, while the United States
had it's ssfne eyes fixed on Boorio-
boola-Gha," like the lady in Bleak
House. We have given millions for
the Philippines, more millions to I'M
prove the islands and educate their
people, and millions again for the
erection of permanent improvements,
and all the time people have been
dying and property has been devas-
TIED year by year by the uncontroll-
ed Mississippi. We have spent the
wealth of nation IN digging out and
Blasting out the Panama canal, as a
free gift to the world, with the
homes and lives of our own people
yearly endangered.
Within the past ten days, Presi-
dent Wilson has toured the midwest
ern states to advocate the new ma
tional policy Of preparedness, the
immediate cost Of which is staggering
and the ultimate cost beyond esti.
mate; and in order to do this he hae
to- cross and re-cross several states
in which the tributaries Of the Missis

for the west to practice law.
The couple live happily in q Brooklyn
fiat for several months, when How
ard receives a letter from his father
stating that he is planning for his son
to marry Beatrice Ford, daughter of
his friend, Randolph Ford, a multi
millionaire He adds that Mr.. Ford
intends making Howard head of the
law department in his firm. Howard
realizes he must break off his affair
with Ethel. He tells her he is not
married to her, and that he must
leave to marry a girl of his own caste.
Broken hearted, Ethel informs him she
is soon to become mother. Howard
blames the mock marriage on Dick,
and leaves.
Ethel writes a scathing letter to
Dick. Dick hurries east and finds the
minister who performed tthe cere-
mony. 1t is the morning of the Sher-
brooke-Ford wedding. Ethel goes to
the church, and as she starts to de-
nounce her husband during the cere-
mony, falls in swoon and is carried
into the vestry. Dick and the minister
arrive at the church, but the guests
are leaving. Ethel comes out of the
church alone and meets Dick, who
tells her she is really married to How
ard. Accompanied by the minister
they hurry to the Ford home, where
they convince Mr.. Ford his son is a
gigamist. Mr.. Ford, in a rage, de-
clares he will send his son to prison.
Horrified at the prospect of a prison
term and the attending disgrace, How
ard goes into the library, where a
flash from pistol shot records his un-
happy end. A few months later Ethel
and Dick are married and go west to
make their home.

The result of Peggy being fre-
