OPELOUSAS TAKES ON
HOLIDAY AIR ON
MONDAY
All Business at a Standstill as
People Observe Monday
Closing Order Here

The city of Opelousas as
sumed more of the appearance
of a holiday, more of the all
of a brigth, sunshiny Christmas
day on last Monday than thai
of a blue Monday" In obsery
ing the spirit Of the fuel ad.
ministration's heatless Monday
order, Che closing was general
and those who. had been reliev.
ed for the day of the dull cares
of business gathered in crowds
here and there, basking in the
sunshine that gathered the city
in it's warm embrace. Truly il
was an ideal day for a holiday,
All places of business closed
except the grocery and drug
stores. The former closed at
noon, while the latter remain
ed open throughout the day
but sold nothing but drugs.
The Monday closing order
was also observed throughout
the seventh congressional dis
trict. In regard to this Mr..
Boagni gave out the following :
"The closing throughout the
seventh district on last Monday
was general. There were very
few exceptions, and these were
traceable to misunderstood
ings. / am in receipt of let
ter from the state fuel admin
istrator in which he expresses
great appreciation of the pa
triotic spirit shown by the peo-
pie of this district.
I'm Opelousas the agree
ment was ala strictly adhered
to. There were only two ex-
ceptions two establishments
declined to come into the agree
ment and remained open.
''In order to correct any pos
sfble misapprehension, ] desire
to say that as far as closing on
Monday is concerned, it is not
required by the order. But the
administration requests that
establishments be closed on
Mondays as a patriotic demon
stration as well as to carry out
the spirit of the law, which is
intended, not only to conserve
fuel, but also to relieve the
congestion of freight on the
railroads, in order to speed up
the movement of supplies to
the ships for transportation to
our army in France.
II consider last Mondays
general closing a magnificent
demonstration Of the patriot
ism of the people of this dis
trict. They cheerfully closed.
sacrificing their personal gains
willingly for the general good.
j feel certain that those who
failed to close last Monday
will, after sideration, come
into the agreement. In times
like these is necessary for
everyone to forget himself
when called upon to do SO for
the public good. No one has
a moral right to fail to do his
part, be it ever SO little. While
the closing or non-closing OF
one or two establishments
would have no material effect,
still, from the psycholog ogicat
standpoint, it is all-important.
The government has the right
to order and force the closing
of places of business, but it
does not desire to do SO from
this very standpoint. The gov
ernment desires that the peo-
pie respond from motives Of
patriotism, rather than from
fear of punishment" I"

The Swell and the Shop Girl

TIE HOPE CHEST BY Mark Lso IMthsr with
fron1sp-ece by James Montgomery Flasg l2rl1
ID -. Little, Brown x CO.
The theme Of the rich young man
who marries one Of his fathers pretty
shop girls Is by no means novel, but 1t
IS quite susceptible OF variants which
are entertaining and which appeal
strongly TO the hunor and the sym
pathy Of the reader The present ex-
ploitation of the theme is clever por-
trayal Of certain phases OF fashionable
sccietv IN which hearts are by no
means atropnieG. and I presents and
solves various problems which do not
savor OF the prurient or morbid. It IS.
in brief, bright, clean, entertaining
romance, bit superficial, no doubt, but
truer 70 life than many more labored
essay The beauty OF II IS that the
people in i talh and act Ike real peo-
pie and not Ike manikins or those
creations Of Intellectual Frankensteins
which comport themselves as nothing
II real lie ever did on the earth or in
the waters that are under the earth"
