SUNSET MERCANTILE CO.
INCORPORATED RECENTLY
Located in Thriving Village, corpor.
alton Starts Out Under Aus
picious Circumstances

Last week The Clarion carried in
its advertising columns the charter
OF '"The Sibille and Clay Company,
Incorporated" This corporation was
recently formed at the thriving vii
lage of Sunset, this parish, and has
such well known and substantial
people behind it as the Clays and
Sibilles, all of whose names and well
known integrity is sufficient guar
antee of the stability of the new con-
Germ.
Located at Sunset, which village is
the center of the finest agricultural
regions in the entire south, is assur.
ance that the business will be large
from the start. The mercantile bust
ness has always been good in Sum
set, even when times were dull, and
now that the farmer has again come
into his own, the new company is
bound to prosper.
The charter, as will appear by a
perusal of it, was drawn up by Hon.
Dudley L. Guilbeau, who is something
of a notary as well as attorney and
orator. The Clarion compositor who
put the matter in type pronounced
it as being one of the finest pieces
of copy" he has ever handled and
was not only clear and legible but
absolutely devoid of rrors Mr..
Guilbeau is a native of the Sunset
neighborhood and naturally attends
to much of the legal business of his
former fel1ow-citizens in that sec
ton.

BIG GAS WELL At
PINE PRAIRIE, REPORT
SAID THAT ROARING CAN BE
HEARD AT LONG DISTANCE
Located Right in Old OIL Field Prop
er and Was Being Drilled for
Greasy Fluid

A report reached Opelousas the
first of the present week that the
oil well being drilled in the Pine
Prairie Field by Mr.. J w. Champion,
an account of which was published
in these columns some weeks ago,
had come in as a big "gasser."
The report went on to say that the
roaring of the escaping a could be
heard a long distance, and if there
is any indications in the strength
of the gas flow a big oil gusher is
in prospect for the drillers, accord
ing to the report, would continue
their work on the well and try and
locate the oil which they confidently
believe lies just a little further be-
low. AS we stated in our previous
article, oil in paying quantities is
being obtained at the Pine Prairie
field from the two wells and Mr..
Champion, who has secured a
lease on the oil field, has made all
preparations to ship the Oil to the
refineries.

people of the town to earn an honest
living under almost impossible han.
dicaps imposed upon them by John
bowling. master of MillYale, who not
only is the richest man in town, but
constantly is growing richer through
oppression of his workers and the adj
vancing of the prices of the neces-
stiles of life.
Cheating the Public" is billed as
a cinemelodrama and is declared to
abound In thrilling scenes. There is
an electric chair in operation, a Sc
ries of food riots, a thrilling night
race between a train and an auto
mobile, and throughout the produc-
ton is emphasized the greedy,
grasping nature of the pr%ofiteer and
the cruelty of the slave-driving
Bull" Thompson, who is his factory
foreman. The production is one Of
the sort that people talk about after
they have left the theatre-amelo-
drama with a message.
In the large all-star cast are Enid
Marley, Ralph Lewis, Bertram
Grassby, Tom Wilson, Charles Ed
Ter, Wanda Petit, Fanny Migsley
and frankie Lee. The production was
directed by Richard Stanton, who
also produced "The Spy for Mr.. Fox.

sT. LANDRY LOSES ONE
OF lTs VALUED CITIZENS
Former superintendent J. L. Gull
beau Died Monday at His Resi-
dence at Grand coteau

The Clarion, as well as the numer-
Gus friends of ]. L. ("Buck'o Gull
beau, former superintendent Of
public education of st. Landry par
ish, were panied to learn Monday
that this staunch citizen of Grand
Coteau, the second ward and the
parish had passed away. The de-
ceased had reached the ripe age Of
II years, but the last time we met
him he appeared in the very best
of health, hale and hearty.
MI. Guilbeau, himself a member
of one of the most prominent and
largest of st. Landry's Creole fam
lilies, leaves to mourn his passing a
widow and six sons and one daughter.
The children are: Frank. Eddie, Ar
thur, Lee, Lucius and Eaton and Mrs.
Zenon Dugas. Besides he leaves
quite a number of grandchildren.
The funeral was held at the Sacred
Heart Catholic Church Tuesday
with interment in the Catholic GEM
etery, Grand Coteau.

The Gamblers Main

factor unquestionably was compound
ed of two considerations. One, the
internal condition of the country,
the other, the growing strength OF
the United States forces on the con-
tinent. Whatever the condition of
Germany may be at the present mo-
ment, the peril of it is one simply of
degree. The privations that the peo-
pie have endured for SO long, and the
hopelessness which is overcoming
them, as they see Russia knocked out
only to bring the United States upon
the scene, are crushingly dishearten-
ing. You can not continue perpetu-
ally to promise a nation success, and
to postpone the moment of success.
Again, and again, and yet agoin, the
day OF the complete triumph of the
submarine has been announced,
with the only result that probably
nobody in Germany today believes in
his heart, for one moment in that
success. The date of the entry into
Paris has been postponed 10 fire.
quentIy that the moment must have
reached the period when hope de-
ferred maketh the heart sick. Pre-
vious to the great offensive of the
21st of March, Field Marshal Won
Hindenburg had promised the
try that the flag would float over
Amiens on the LIST of April. The day
was an unfortunate one and the 18th
of the month sees every forecast he
made with respect to the sacrifices
which would be demanded fulfilled,
without the elimination which was
to justify them.
But there are other things which
the Germans are hearing which do
not increase their confidence in ulti-
mate victory. One of these is that
the United States army in France al
ready amounts to 100000 men. Such
rumors are depressing to a people
and somewhat more than depressing
to the German High Command which
knows, considerably better than the
people, how true the statement may
be. Therefore, the High Command
stakes the destinies of the country
on the effort to crush the British
army, and to reach the coast and
Paris over its body. 1t is the great
est compliment which could have
been paid to the United Kingdom, for
1t shows where the High Command
thinks it's real danger lies. But the
British ormy has not been crushed.
Amiens, Calais and Paris have not
yet been reached. General Perish
ing's army has practically not SO
much as been engaged, and the army
of maneuyers of General Foch has
still to be accounted for. Therefore
does Field Marshal Won Hindenburg
imagine a vain thing, though why
the hearts of the Allies should be cast
down it is impossible to see.-

"a. E. F., France.
April Is, 1918
my Dear Mother:
Il suppose every one in the states
is very much interested in the out.
come of the present battle which is
the largest of the war and every one
here looks forward to each days re-
port for it is the feeling that this
great victory for US will end the war
in a short time and we must make it
a victory.
ut has rafned nearly all the time
since the big fight started and they
claim that it is caused by the big
guns which may be true for it was
nice and clear for some time pre-
yious.
II don't know whether any of the
american units are mentioned in the
papers there or not but they have
done good work and the engineers
were praised highly for the assist
ance rendered the English in holding
the line and the 9Th got its share.
q am commander of the guard to-
night and am taking advantage of
the time by writing a few letters for
| will be up nearly all night.
For a few weeks I got the Clarion
but it does not come any more, in
fact very few papers get here unless
they are sent as first-cIass mail and
then they nearly always make it
alright.
Papa said that you wrote every
week, if that is the case there are
certainly lots of letters on the way
for me for I have gotten very few
from home, and / suppose my letters
are the same for | write at least nee
a week and sometimes oftener.
81 think I told you that the Tobacco
and candy reached me in perfect
condition, they had not been opened
but that is not the case when wooden
boxes are not used.
How is Marie making it now?
Tell her that | would certainly like
to see her for she must have grown
quite a bit.
"How are the boys making it at
school? / hear that Jno. has grown
to be quite a man.
Have any of the fellows from
there come over yet? for I haven't
run across any of them yet.
with love and best wishes to all.
Your son,
Corp. ri L. WHITE,
Co. e. 9th U. S. Engineers, A, E. F."

Several days ago the remainder Of
cur bunch came into camp after sever
al days travel in side-door Pullmans.
They reported having a riotous time
en- route wrestling with bully beef
and blackberry jam. They mention
ed also having seen a lot of airplaneE
and an American railway; but air
planes are as thick as hops, in
France, SO nobody was particularly
excited.
One of our men, who, although UNI
able to understand or speak French,
rather prided himself on his abil-
ity to get along, visited a restaurant
the other evening in company with
some of the new arrivals. Seating
himself, he very ostentatiousfy or
dered 'une omeIette." The waitress
replied "Oui, monsieur. Une ONE
lette avec combien d'oeufs?" Our
hero, not understanding anything
she said, shouted out mo, no, oeufs,"
meaning to emphasize the fact that
he wanted eggs. The girl, who pos
sesses a sense of humor, went out
and returned with an empty plate,
knife and fork. Placing them be-
fore u hero, she said "The mon
sieur wishes an omelette without
eggs. VOLTA"
Have just received my first mail
fifteen letters. VIII write as soon
as / read one from home, which /
notice in the bunch.
