AS they sped around the curve en-

Covington cars were brought to

The Judge repeated, "five dollars or

emptied, totaling just about half If
the necessary amount. Thes pro-

looked very bright to the guilty
parties, until some one happ,ty
thought of the waiting Captain Who
was to take one of the cars to the
city, eand duly accompanied by the
official. they proceeded to the boat
to make their appeal. The Captain
not only advanced the balance need
ed but out of the kindness of his
heart offered to take the owner OF
the car back to New Orleans on his
boat, since he had to deliver all bis
ready cash to the Madisonville treas

indulgence was asked. They must
hold the boat until the young man
could come back to Covington ana
secure his belongings. This he
agreed to do, and the trip was made
in short order, there being no officer
of the law guarding the road be-
tween Madisonville and Covington.
The third car was Ford, but the
owner looked admiringly at it and
said, 1T is too bad there is only one

ton, calls this important matter to
your attention.
This is volunteering for service in
the Regular Army and the enlist
ments will be for the period of the
war only, unless sooner di 5charged.
1t is not for State National Guard
Service, nor does it concern the Sc
,ective darft. 1t is the most va.u-
able volunteer service that you en-
render to your country. The time
of volunteering is now. Facilities
are in readiness for placing this TO-
900 men in proper training. De-
lay means the loss of valuable time.
Volunteering now will place you
among troops, the larger proportion
OF which are we'll trained and OIL
cered by competent trained officers,
thereby making the work and train
ing of the recruit men much lighter
and easier, and will give him the
advantage of time and voluntary SER
vice, which, in military affairs, are
important and controlling factors
when it comes to the question of pro-
motion. The opportunities for pro-
motion in the Regular Army for men
possessing initiative, energy and will
are greater than in any other mill
tary service. You are urged to vol
unteer now. Delay means loss of

try calls you to arms. Unmarried
white men between the ages Of Is
and 40 years who have no depend
ents and who are not engaged in
pursuits vitality necessary to the
prosecution Of the war are wanted
for this service.
Volunteers may apply to the near

ACADEMY

The Fourteenth Annual Com
mencement exercises of st. Scho.as-
tica's Academy, held at st. Pauls
College Auditorium, Wednesday,

crowded to the utmost by large
and appreciative audience, among
whom were many of the clergy, the
town officials, and numerous friends
and relatives of the nineteen fair
young graduates. Every figure on
the program was executed with ease
and grace.
The academic class of 1917 was
one of the most evenly efficient grad
yates that ever received graduation
honors from the Academy, there be-
ing a variation Of only small frac-
tion in their percentage OF the COM
plete course.
Very Rev. FIR. Columbian, Prior Of
ST. Joseph's Abbey, with few ap-
propriate remarks, addressed the
class, with hus usual ease and elo-
quence, and then introduced the
orator of the day, Hon. A. D..
Schwartz. Every word of his mas
terful address was delivered with
force and eloquence and was highly
appreciated. Owing to the lengthy
program, his address was brief, but
every word was so well-chosen and
condensed that the effect was strong
