its superiority in thirty-fve

Think of it! No boiling water, no

surface, If ordinary care is taken, is
solid, streakless and mat-like.

NORTH STATE METROPOLIS
REMAINS WITH DRY ONES
Gaddo Parish Turns Down The
Licensed Saloon By Majority
OF 361 Votes

AS a result of last Tuesdays ell
eetion, Caddo parish remains in the
dry column, the prohibitionists de-
feating the antis by a majority of
36i votes. The city of Shreveport
only gave the antis i0t majority.
Due to the fact that he Police
jury recently elected in Caddo par
ish was a wet" one, it was predict
ed freely that the parish would a.
gain open the saloons whenever an
election was held, and also taking
into consideration the poor show
ing the acknowledged prohibitionist
candidate for governor made in
Gaddo, the antis were confident of
certain victory.
Immediately upon receipt of the
returns at prohibionist headquart-
ers, a parade was oragnized by the
leaders through Texas Avenue. ADJ
dresses were made at the court
house.
For the first time since the pro-
hibition election of 1911 women took
an active personal interest in an
election, and each polling place rep
resentatives of the several women's
organizations were present.

GOVERNOR HALL OPPOSES
INTERVENTION BY UNCLE SAM
Louisiana Executive Says That
Wilson Is Right In Stand
Taken


In answer to a telegram received
from an Eastern newspaper, Hon.L.
E. Hall, Governor of Louisiana, says
that Mexico should be left for the
Mexieans and is opposed to an arm
ed intervention unless developments
in the Mexican man-hunt make 1t
necessary. The newspaper asked the
Governor whether or not he thought
intervention was necessary. The
Governor replied as follows: RE
plying to your telegram, troops
were sent into Mexico for a specliic
purpose. for which action consent
Of the de facto government was OBJ
tanned. Now to do what is suggest
ed in your inquiry would be use
less. Conditions should radically
change revolving breach of good
faith. The President, in his dealing
with Mexico, it appears, proceeded
on a recognition of the fact that
Mexico belongs to the Mexicans and
not to the people Of the United
States, nor a few hunters. he IS
right.

ST. CHARLES MAY PLAY
SEVERAL GAMES HERE
Grand Coteau Collegians To Be Seen
In Action On Local Diamond
With Strong Teams

It is rumored that st. Charles
College will stage a few Of its import
ant home games at Comeaus Park
this summer, in which event Opel
ousas baseball lovers will see some
of the elassiest college games in
Southwest Louisiana this summer.
st. Charles has the reputation for
the past three years of putting out
one of the strongest clubs in this
section of Louisiana. The college
team is fast rounding into shape,
according to reports from Grand
Coteau, and it not would be sur
prising to see st. Charles wipe the
earth up with some Of the other
college teams.
1t is reported that important
games between st. Charles and 9TH
er strong colleges will be played
here on account Of the fact that
Opelousas is bigger baseball cent
er than is Grand Coteau; in this
manner the st. Charles Athletic As
soeiation could be placed on sub
stantial and self-sustaining basis.

HIGH SCOOL ATHLETES
TO USE WALLIOR PARK
OpeIousas Lads To Have Full
Swing AT City's Old And
Historic Race Track

Through the efforts OF Professors
perrault and Scott, the st. Landry
High School boys will use the old
.Wallior race track as an thletlc
field. Mr.. Wallior, a public spirited
citizen of this ely, has given the
school boys permission to use the
property.
Here of late the Opelousas THE
.es have gotten down to hard work,
and they and Prof. Perault are bent
on making a better showing IN the
future contests than they have IN
the past. Mr.. Perrault and MT.
Scott are taking a great deal OF IN
terest in athletics and are doing all
the can to assist the boys in that
direction.
With the use of the Walllor PARK,
which gives the boys ample room
for practice, it can be reasonably
asserted that Opelousas will be a.
mong those shcools which claim
to have the best athletic teams IN
the state.

make this sanitaruim one Of the fin
est of its kind. With the co-opera-
ton of the people of Opelousas and

it was estimated that over $4,000
was spent by the people Of this city

are getting better, and are paying
close attention to the letter of the
law. Considering previous terms Of

the last term was mild one, indeed,
and a number of those tried at the
session just closed were not of this
parish, but were non-residents.

offences. This was a quiet term of.
court, so to speak, and especially
so for St. Landry, the parish noted

new CITY BUILDING
NEARING COMPLETION.
Opelousas Soon To Have One OF
The Best Plants In State
WORK ON POWER PLANT
is PROGRESSING NICELY
Contractor Mckinney Expects To
Have Job Completed By
First of June

Work on the Opelousas power
plant, which was seriously damag-
ed last October by fire, is progress
ing nicely, and within the next few
months the job is expected to be
completed, il Contractor Thurston
Mckinney meets with no obstacles
in his way.
The local electric light and water
plant, after the work of remodeling
will be dmpleted will be one of the
finest of its kind in the state; sew
eral new and modern machineries
will be installed, including a 150
horsepower oil engine, which will
enable the users of electricity to
enjoy current the year round and
all day and night long.
Mr.. Mckinney stated recently that
he expected to turn the power plant
to the city for acceptance On or
about the first day Of June.
When the new brick building is
completed and the new machinery
is installed, Opelousas can then
boast of having one of the best
equipped, modern and up-to-date
electric and power plants in Louisi-
ana. Besides the installation of a
new one hudred horse power eng
inc, Layne & Bowler, well drillers
of national reputation, have a crew
of men at work on the standard
deep we'll proposed for the local
power plant. This well vii be in
operation by the time the new
building is completed.
The Opelousas power plant has
been wonderfully improved during
the last four or five years. From a
money losing proposition several
years ago, losing an amount from
$4,000 to $4,000 per month, to-day
is a paying investment, pouring
large profits into the Golfers Of the
city treasurery each and every
month. The mayor and couneiLas
as the plant superintendent have. re-
peatedly been shoWered with prais-
es, not only from the local people,
but from visitors, as well
In the future the people Of Opel
ousas need have no fear in so far
as the plant being destroyed by
fire, is concerned, and especially, a
fire being caused by a spark from a
railroad engine, as was reported to-
be the cause of the last fire.

was played in the afternoon, re-

Fof the Lafayette boys.
Both st. Charles College and the
Industrial Institute will turn out
splendid mines, if they cantinue to
improve, as was evidenced they
would, in the Saturday games.
The feature of the game was the
pitching. The pitchers of both
Teams were in excellent form, and
aad i not been for the numerous
errors the first game would have
probably resulted in a tie.
