Mice Janvler Speaks

About twenty-fOur of the rep
rasentative ladies of Natchitoches
gathered il response to a notice
that Miss Lois Janvier Of New
OrIoaas would give an informal
talk before The Equal Suffrage
Club on FRIDAY afternoon at 4
O'Clock and as the report had
spread that this gifted young
woman had made such splendid
talk at the Normal IN the morning,
everybody was eager to hear her.
Unfortunately, there was an i'm
portant meeting going on in one
church circle, a picnic in another
and social affair in another, so
regrets were sent from many who
found il impossible to attend.
Miss Janyier is a very young
woman to have accomplished the
work that she already has to her
credit, but when one comes with
the radius of her influence, it is
easily understood wherein lies her
magic that works such wonders.
OF charming personality, mag
netic aud approachable, modest and
unassuming, above all intensely
human, her keen insight into hu-
man nature makes all clear.
In sweet girlish manner with
no attempt at oratory, Miss JAN
vier gave heart to heart talk and
drew from her varied experiences
as Welfare Secretary with iuris-
diction over 900 young souls, ex-
anples whereby these girls were
made to see that equal rights were
but their due if they went after
them.
And the message given was i'm
pressed the more. because as one of
the ladies expressed it after the
talk. that's not woman's suffrage,
that's common sense"

Zig Jefferson Highway Meeting.

| On last Wednesday afternoon, con
sternation was created in the ranks Of
the jefferson Highway Boosters by
telephone message which came to Pres
ident V. L. Roy from Mr.. Petrie o.
Mansfield, announcing the arrival a.
Natchitoches at s p. m. that night o.
Mr.. ). D. Clarkson, general manager
of the jefferson Highway. Forthwith
the highway committee of the Match
toches Commercial Association held
meeting, and planned an entertainment
for Mr.. Clarkson. This involved
complete abandonment of elaborate
plans that had been worked out to re-
ceive Mr.. Clarkson the following day.
At p. m. Messrs, D. j, Hyams,
Clarence DeBlieux, Sidney Katie, r
V. Roy and V. L. Roy rode out tc
Robeline to meet Mr.. Clarkson and his
party, consisting of Mrs. Avery OF
Shreveport. Mr.. Waldencroft of Des
Moines and Mr.. Petrie of Mansfield.
The entire party arrived at the Lee
Compile at 8p. m, attended a splendid
little banquet at the Elite Restaurant,
and thence went to the Comus Club for
the meeting.
Mr. Clarkson began speaking about
9 p. m. Over one hundred of our pro-
gressive citizens were assembled to
hear the distinguished visitor, who
spoke for nearly two hours. While Mr..
Clarkson is a plain, blunt man, making
no pretence at oratory, it is simply
Justice to say that he commanded the
rapt attention of his audience, which
included several ladies of Natchitoches.
The speaker, in quiet but detailed
way, related incident after incident oc-
curing on the several runs that have
been made along the route of the
great highway; and thus convinced
every thinking man in his audience that
the jefferson Highway is the greatest
thing that has ever come our way, with
the exception of the State Normal
School. The feeling that welled in the
hearts of Mr.. Clarkson's audience,
when he completed his address, was
that each one was proud of the part he
had taken in placing the city and par
ish of Natchitoches on the Jefferson
Highway.
A dozen of our enterprising citizens
promised to see that the dues of this
parish to the Jefferson Highway Asso-
citation be paid, Mr.. Waldencroft
spoke on the jefferson Highway Dec
laration, which is the official J. H.
organ. Mr.. Garrison and his party
left for Colfsx Thursday morning,
