HAAS RECEIVES LOAD OF CARS

Senator Leon Haas, proprietor OF
the Haas Garage, received during
the week six Chevrolet cars. These
cars have proven very popular,
since their arrival in this city, and
there is no doubt in the mind OF
Senator Haas that it will not be
many more days before he will have
to send in another order for Chew
rolets.
The Chevrolet is a small car
completely equipped with electric
lights; electric starter; it has abil-
ity to climb hills on high, uses very
little gasoline, compared to other
cars, has leather upholstery and is
thoroughly complete, selling for a
little over five hundred dollars.
Senator Haas has memorized tbf
following apt poetry:
Beat it., beat it, little car,
How I wonder what you are,
Climbing all the hills on high,
Passing all the others by.
As it passed the first man cussed,
While the second merely fused;
But the last man said, they say,
It won't stop, its a CHEVROLET.

BOYS SCOUTS TAKE A HIKE

On Sunday 20, 1915, the Boy
Scouts took a hike to Port Barre.
They reached there about ~ o'clock
and stopped a while at the Q. G,
depotand then went down town
where they bought the bakery out
of most of its fancy stock. They
went about a mile outside of town
on the O. G. Railroad where they
ate dinner and rested for a while.
Two of the Scouts took the Q. e
train back to Opelousas. The rest
Of the boys marched back by the
railroad and got in town about sIa
o'clock.
On the following Friday night
the Scouts met at their headquar-
tiers where they discussed their
future plans. After the meeting
was over the Kangaroo court wen1
into session and several boys were
tried for disturbing the peace. Twt
new members took the tenderfoo'
examination and were enrolled al
| Scouts. There are about twenty.
| six scouts enrolled for the yeaI
1916. On next Friday night tn
baseball team will be organized AM
q captain will be elected.

STRANGE MARIMBA PLAYERS
With Robinson's Famous Shows.

Z III
Wilds of Nicaragua dWells a strange
race, undoubtedly the only remnant
of the aboriginal people who IN
habited America before the coming
of the Red Indian. These people
have an ancient civilization of their
own, and to see them is to look at
a picture of humanity as it was
here perhaps five thousand years
ago.
Agents Of Robinson's Famous
Shows penetrated to this isolated
region, undoubtedly the only living
white men who ever returned to tell
thier story. And they succeeded IN
bringing with them a band of the
native musicians, with their nstru-
menfs. This is the bamboo Marim-
ba, m~arvelously sweet in tone and
played with great skill by these
people. And the music which they
produce proves that at some dis
tant period these people had de-
eloped the art of music to a high
degree. Their airs, while ver5
strange, show astonishing technique
The above is only one Of the man,
features which distinguish The
Robinson Famous Shows from ths
ordinary.
They will exhibit at 0pelousa'
April ist.

this EVENING

Tonight, as the elimination of a

edy, "A Day on Coney Island" will
be presented at the Auditorium, un-
der the auspices of the Woman's
Club. Miss Staley, who has ably d.
rected the large cast for the past
week has achieved surprising results,
and theater-goers will have the priv
ilege of seeing their friends and rel
atives temporarily transformed into
real actors and actresses. The varie-
ty of costume is a pretty feature of
the production and the specialties
introduced in the course of the play
are sure to make hit. The cosmo
politan atmosphere Is welcome
change from the plays restricted TO
the representation of one locality,
and the throng of pleasureseekers
comprising the Reuben" and the So
phistieated city dweller, afford a
scene of never-ceasing interest to the
audience. The show begins promptly
at $3.50 and everybody should be on
hand as the curtain goes up, for ev-
cry minute some new feature is in
troduced, and nothing should be
missed.
