on the ground and the task rushed.
The local committee in charge
feel great satisfaction over the sue
cess in Fastening the construction
cf this section of road, forming as
it does one Of the most important
traffic channels in the parish and
being also a part Of the Old Spanish
Trail leading across the continent.
President Colomb and his commit
tee cannot be too highly praised for
the business capacity and executive
ability displayed in consummating
this enterprise.
1t is learned that work will begin
at Pin Hook and the road graveled
toward Broussard. The committee
in charge has arranged with State
Highway Engineer Buie to visit
Lafayette to confer with the Police
Jury with reference to the location
Of the road near Scott. The Police
Jury will be called in special Sos

is immediate, your response should
be prompt.
Chapter Headquarters has just
received the above appeal. We are
having it printed in every paper IN
the Parish in the hope that it will
reach every man, woman and child
in the Parish, and that those who
are not now doing their utmost in
the service OF their country may see
that by doing something through the
Red Cross they are doing their bit
in a way that will count and in q
way that will be appreciated: ard
in the hope, that instead Of mem

this membership to 1900; and that
those who have an hour or two to

hour or two may be most profitably
spent in the service of their coun-
try.

The company is made up of group
Of artists who have studied the wants
of the lyceum audience and have re-
hearsed a year in order to be able
to satisfy those wants. Each artist
is individually able to give a concert
alone. Together the combination is al
most ideal.
The program consists of solos,
duets and quartets of some of the
best selections for lyceum stage. A
part of some grand or comic opera
is generally given on closing num-
ber, the Oxford Company being es-
pecialy well fitted to give the Nnkado

Auto Makes Plunge

An accident that might have meant
the death of three men occurred
Thursday evening when the Straus
Brothers car, driven by j. L. Knapp
was thrown headlong into the ditch
on the Gilfillan road where the bridge
ad been removed to permit of the
passing Of the big dredging machine.
The car was occupied by Mr.. Knapp,
F. Smith and a stranger to whom
these gentlemen had been showing
farm. That any of them escaped
at all is miraculous and that they all
escaped practically unhurt except for
the severe shock is more so.
Carelessness on the part of some
one who should have been respon-
sihle left the ditch wide open. the
only warning apparently being some
planks placed only about twenty feet
from the opening. These jplanks
would not have been easily discerb-
ible even on clear and moonlight
night and in the fog Of last Thurs
day evening they were practically
useless. The car was thrown head
long into the opening and the men
from the Stensvad garage, under
whose direction it was removed. state
that it was imbedded for fully half
of the entire top when they started
work on it Friday noon. The work
Of extricating it was very strenuous
and was not finished until late Sat

ing overhauled and it is impossible
to state at present just the amount
Of the damage done.
