Of Guy Jackson, near Wash

three to five thousand dollars
to him.
The origin of the fire is I'M

daughter, Mrs. Porter, were
the only ones at home when it
started. Mr.. Jackson was in
New Orleans, and Guy, Jr.,
was in Opelousas. Mrs. jack

and the truck and iremen re-
sponded, but the fire had gain

able to render but little assist

PUBLICITY COMMITTEE
CHAIRMAN STARTS
HIS WORK
Aaron Jacobs Addresses Call
Ito ST. Landrians in Effort to
Supply Needs

Aaron Jacobs was recently
made chairman of the publ
city committee of the st. Lam
dry Parish Council of Defense,
and in characteristic style he
has thrown himself into the
work. The government would
supply it's present varied and
muititudinous needs through
local agencies, and with this
aim in view it has entrusted to
the parish councils of defense
the task of securing the skilled
labor Of many kinds.
Mr.. Jacobs, as the local
chairman, issues the follow
ing:
The United States needs
skilled men for the shipyards.
The Shipping Board has the
men, it has the yards, it has
the material, and all that is
now needed is efficient labor.
The country is also in need
of binoculars and spy-glasses
for the Navy. If you have one,
send it into Hon. Franklin D.
Roosevelt, Assistant Secretary
of the Navy, in care of the Ma
val Observatory, Washington,
D. C.
The United States also needs
1000 specially selected men
for the enlisted veterinary
corps of the national army. On
" men from Is to 20 and 80 to.
40 are eligible. Horseshoers,
saddlers, pharmacists, cooks,
typists and stenographers are
also needed. The monthly pay
ranges from $50 to $50, with
all clothing, food, ETC., free.
Applicants for these posi-
tons should call on or write
Mr.. Jacobs. Also, those who
have, and are willing to give
their binoculars or spy-glasses
to the government, may hand
them over to MI. Jacobs and
he will forward them to the
proper place. Several have
been handed to him and have
been sent on.

Boys Of Parish

Alfred A. Mendoza will ar
rive to-day to take charge of

amount of work, the absolute
necessity of making the same
amount Of feed produce more
pounds of pork.
Mr.. Mendosa will work
throughout the parish, and
will be at the call Of the people

St. Charles College Notes

The second semester is now
in full swing, and as all traces
of the Liberty measles in the
college have been eradicated
the entire student body is now
able to attend full classes.
On Tuesday night the won
derful1y dramatic scenario,
"The Honor System was en-
joyed by The students in the
college auditorium, and has
given rise to much discussion
as to whether the facts shown
on the screen would be realiz-
ed in real life should the hon
or system be universally in
troduced in our penitentiaries.

Home Guards Supervise
Flag Raising Ceremon-
les Thursday EUening

"A flag raising, the first ceremony of
its kind to occur in Sank Centre under
the direction of the Home Guards,
took place last Thursday evening in
Hoboken. The pole, which was given
by Mr.. Chenewith of Hoboken, was
erscted in front of his property about
two thirds of the way ZIP the hill. Ac-
cording to program the Home Guards
headed by the city band marched from
the corner Of Third and Main, arriving
on the scene at eight o'clock. A large
number of civilians also attended,
coming in cars and on foot.
The ceremonies were brief but very
impressive and beautiful. Never can
there be quite the feeling of reverence
and love towards the flag as when it
majestically rises to the strains of
"The Star Spangled Banner" Rev.
Sparkes made short address in which
he laid stress on the fact that this
same flag was floating over the battle
fields in Europe, drawing his call to
further loyalty, therefrom. Mr.. Chen
owith made a short speech expressing
his thanks to those who attended.
Then, led by DR.. Hennealann the as
semblage sang America" The song
meant more than usual, somehow,
Finally, to the clear notes of the
bugle playing "taps," the flag was
slowly lowered. After a mement of
silence, the Guards marched back to
town and the crowd dispersed. leaving
