FARM LOAN BANK HAS
DONE SOME BUSINESS
APPROXIMATELY 100000 LOAN
ED TO ST. LANDRY FARMERS
One of the Constructive Pieces o.
Twentieth Century Legislation
of Wilson Administration

The officers and members of the
local Farmers Loan Association have
been Systematically and persistent
ly at work ever since the organiza-
ton came into being, some time last
year. Under their efforts and wise
guidance much progress has been
made in furthering the underlying
scheme of the farm loan bank idea,
characterized as being one of the
great pieces of constructive legisla-
ton of President Wilson's admins
tration.
The local association has had a
big handful of work always ahead of
it for there were certain rules and
prescribed regulations always to be
complied with, but despite these OBJ
s~tacles, generally termed official
red tape" they have managed to
meet with much success and quite a
bit of encouragement from all quar-
ters. The Clarion is informed that
some sixty thousand dollars has al
ready been loaned out to farmers
of this parish under the terms and
conditions fixed by the law creating
the land bank. More applications
for loans are pending and these will
be attended to in due time. All
loans run for from t~hirty-five to for
ty years and the interest rate is
from 5 to 5 IL per cent.
The officers of the local organiaza-
ton are: Floyd Phillips, president;
Philibert Hidalgo, v~ice-president; and
Richard D. Lamson, secretary and
treasurer. Hon. Morton II. Thomp-
son of the local bar is attorney for
the association and his duty is to
pass upon the abstracts of property
of those who apply for loans.

MAIL CARRIER LAMsoN HEARS
OF HIS SOLDIER BROTHER
Frank Knight Lamson of Waukeean,
ILL.,, Wouldn't Take mo" for
Answer and Enlisted Anyhow

Richard D. Lamson Of near Opelou-
sas, mail carrier on Route Five out
of this city, received a copy this
week of the Waukegan (Tl1.) Ca
zette of date May 5. Among the in
teresting paragraphs in this very in
teresting daily newspaper is the
following:
"Mr. and Mrs. W. G. Lamson, of
North Chicago are in receipt of a
letter from their son, Frank Knight
Lamson, written from Camp Mills,
stating that he has left for "Over
There"
Young Lamson, who is only
twenty-five. is a fine example of
Young America. He was not willing
to await the draft, but more than a
year ago tried twice to get into the
navy and was rejected. He would
not take mo" for an answer and
would not wait for Uncle Sans men
to tell him when to get in line" SO
The hiked away and enlisted in the
regulars at Camp Grant. Later he
was sent to Camp Greene, down in
North Carolina, and then to Camp
Mills, where he has been stationed
ahorit two months
"The persistent soldier boy, who
is so well known inWaukegan and
North Chicago, lis in the seth regi-
ment and If the whole bunch in
that aggregation is made Of the same
stuff as Lamson, there will be some
thing for the Huns to reckon with
when they start to Ego over the top"

A DUTY NEGLECTED..

AT its coming session, the Lou
isiana legislature will be asked to
authorize and make suitable appro-
priation for the erection, in the
Vicksburg Military Park, of a memo
rial to the gallant Louisiana troops
who participated in the historic OPP
%erations at Vicksburg during the war
between the states. The Confederate
forces at Vicksburg were composed
largely of Louisiana and Mississippi
troops, each of these states having
been represented by forty-one or
CARNATIONS or units.
eThe brave L~ouisianians who
fought there earned the perpetual
esteem Of the commonwealth Iandl
it's people. Their heroism contrib
uted an inspiring chapter to Louii-
ana history. That the state ought
to erect a memorial to them in the
Vicksburg park, we think, is almost
unanimously agreed. Preceding leg
islatures have omitted or neglected
to provide for it. AS the years pass
the survivors of the memorable strug-
gle one by one are crossing the eter-
nal river. The memorial, which is
their due, earned many years ago by
their valor, devotion and blood,
Ch6Yy1d no arnofnd ryhslo " ne
them remain with us to rejoice In
the official recognition and commem-
GRAFTON OF their service and self-sac-
rifice.
1T is regrettable that the memo
rial was not provided long ago.. Its
provision at the coming session
would not only gladden. the hearts
of the survivors of the Vicksburg
campaign, but would also help to
inspire the L~ouisianians who are
now in arms for their country's de-
tense, since 1t would assure them
that Louisiana not only appreciates
the heroism and se~lf-sacrifice of the
sons who fight its battles, but is
willing to give a little of its money
to commemorate their deeds by the
erection of enduring monuments.
The debt we owe to our heroes Of
the Vieksburg campaign is greatly
overdue. It's payment now. while
Louisiana's sons are again fighting in
her defense, would be particularly
timely"
/ call your attention to the above
editorial which appeared in the
Times-Picayune Of Sunday, April 81,
and I would suggest that you publish
same as an item OF news, and as a
tribute to Louisiana's Confederate
veterans. It is torcible, tender and
in eloquent language, which appeals
to the people of Louisiana and the
general assembly, to 90 its long de-
ferred duty to the Louisiana soldiers
who took part in the memorable siege
OF VIcksburg.
Fifty-five years have passed since
then, and NOTHING to mark the
sense of obligation the state of
Louisiana feels for her soldiers, for
their devotion to duty, patriotism,
and heroic services. Such action by
the legislature in appropriating
100000 or more will be a trumpet
call to duty in the present crisis, and
will be recognized by the people
of the state.

INTERESTING LETTER FROM
, AN oPELousEAN IN FRANCE
Rudolph RodemulIer, Embarked on
"Great Adventure" Tells Of
Life "over There"

One of the very best of all the
good men sent by st. Landry to
Uncle Sans army. navy and marine
corps-and the good ones were many
was H. Rudolph Bodemuller. mem
Der of a prominent Opelousas family
and expert electrician by trade. He
went to Camp Pike last fall, later
being transferred to a camp in New
York state. and shortly thereafter
was sent to France.
Mr.. Bodemuller has travelled con
siderably. He was employed by a
big electrical concern in old Mexico,
later going to New York and then
worked some time at Barcelona,
Spain. He returned to his native
heath and went into business on his
own hook and was prospecting nice
Ily when called by Uncle Sam for
services 'oyer there" He will prove
a valuable mar and the officers
above him will find it out soon and
promotion will undoubtedly come to
this strapping young son Of st. Ian
dry. Here are extracts from a let
ter recently received from him. They
are interesting bits of soldier news
and shows that Mr.. Bodemul1er, be
sides being a splendid electrician and
soldier, is also a good letter writer.
Here are the extracts:
! 1t would do your heart good to
see Uncle Sans Iegiens, big, husky,
I clean looking men, marching, drill
ing and studying, the better to be
prepared for the big day when we
all strike the German machine. II
you could see the preparations, the
earnestness, and feel the spirit OF
do or die" in the very atmosphere,
it would lift you up to a point where
the privations and inconvenience
sure to come in the U. S. would seem
easy. Every mar over here grouches
about the mud and the rain; kicks
about cold stone buildings and smoky
stoves; raises sand about the chow
when the mess sergeant let's things
slide for a day or two; but there
isn't a man in the lot would go back
now to the States II he could. It's
hard to explain but it gets you.
The idea sometimes ZONES to me:
how will the old town look when the
successive drafts have been taken
away. Imagine opelousas with
/ girls, girls, everywhere and not .
man In sight"

an army hospital, in quest of a pill
The eminent medic gave me a tech

determine, SO had an enjoyable five.

room by day and sleeping in a real
bed at night, with a waiter to bring
me tempting food. Came out feeling
fine and have continued to feel bet

We are working hard in the school
absorbing u new education in the
art Of scientifically "out-Hunning the
Huns" The work is interesting and
appeals to me sufficiently to keep
me up after hours.
