New Deal for Shamrock Places.

New Deal FOR Snamrock races
The following item is quoted from
today's Louisiana Planter:
tsThe Belle Alliance and Evan Hall
factories and plantations have been
taken over from the Shamrock Land
and Planting Co., who have hereto
fore owned and operated them, by
new company composed OF }. /. Lam
daiche, Chas. E. Thibodeaux, j. Z. lie
Bourgeois, B. w. Henry, R. S. Hecht
and P. J. Stouse. The capital and
other details of the new company are
now being arranged. The officers OF
the new company will be J. I. Ian
daiche, president; Chas. E, Thlbo-
deaux. vice president; P. J.. Stouse,
secretary, and R. S. Hecht, treasurer.
It is the intention of the new owners
of Belle Alliance and Evan Hall to
dismantle the Belle Alliance house
and make the Evan Hall mill twelve
roller one with quadruple effects and
three pans. The rest of the equip
ment at Evan Hall will be proportion
ately increased. One of the stock
holders said this week that the new
corporation would begin the disman-
Ting of Belle Alliance at once and the
rehabilitation Of Evan Hall. This
new Evan Hall move follows fast up
on Norman's turn-down of those two
places. The personnel of the new
company is high-class and composed
of men all Of whom have long been
identified with the Louisiana sugar IN
dustry.

ed, the taxpayers residing IN Schooi
District No. Of Ascension parish
placed the seal OF their approval on
both of the propositions submitted to
them at the special election held IN
the district Wednesday. The result
Of the balloting authorizes the school
board, for and on behalf of School
District No. 8, to issue bonds to the
amount Of $1,000, running for a
period Of twenty years and bearing
interest at the rate Of 5 per cent per
annum, for the purpose of purchasing
10 1-2 acres of land adjoining the
Oak Grove Agricultural High School
farm, erecting domestic science and
agricultural building, and purchasing
an automobile truck for transferring
the pupils of the johnson school to
the Oak Grove school; and also to
levy a special ten-year tax OF two
mills on all the property situated IN
the district for the purpose of giving
additional aid to the agricultural de-
partment Of the Oak Grove school.
The school board was to have met at
it's office in Donaldsonville Thursday
to canvass the returns of the cleo
ton and promulgate the result, but
owing to the absence of quorum
this duty was deferred until Wednes-
day of next week.

COTTAGE FOR TEACHERS.
Faculty Of Sacramento School to
Have Home of Their Own.

A representative meeting Of pa
irons and friends Of the Sacramento
school, called by Supt. Fl. P. Brous-
sard, was held last Sunday at the
schoolhouse. The proposition Of
building small cottage to accommo-
date the teachers Of the school was
submitted by Supt. Broussard. The
difficulty of finding boarding places
for teachers was explained and the
advantages and inducements that
such cottage would offer were point
ed out. After a discussion of the
matter it was decided to build the cot
tage this summer and plans for rails
ing the necessary funds were out
lined.
Supt. Broussard took occasion at
this meeting to call the attention of
the patrons to the critical situation
existing in the teaching prof ession,
explaining that unless some steps are
taken by the people to keep the teach
ers from seeking other employment
the educational standard Of the state
would suffer and that number of
schools would have to close next ses-
sion. Thereupon the following reso-
lutions were offered by committee
composed of Messrs. Adam Bergeron,
Isidore Ourso and S. Landry, and
were unanimously adopted:
Whereas, the educational stand
ards Of the public schools of the
state are at present suffering and in
all probability viii be seriously af-
fected next session for the reason that
the best teachers are being offered
higher salaries in other fields of
work; and
Whereas, it is the opinion of the
persons present at this meeting that
every effort should be made, not only
to keep up the standard of our
schools, but at this critical time to
raise the standard to the end that our
children may be kept in school; there
fore
"Be it resolved, that we request our
representatives and senator, at the
next meeting Of the legislature in
May, to support the necessary legis-
lation that will make it possible to
keep open the schools of the state.
"Be it further resolved, that Supt.
Broussard be requested to forward a
copy of these resolutions to our rep
resentatives and senator.

the committee was informed that sys--

therefore stockmen would be perfect
lv safe in exhibiting their cattle thus

was decided to appeal to DR.. e. !:

order that in any event the grounds
should be officially tick free at the

ROBERT F BROUssARD.

It falls to the earthly lot Of few
men to draw about them a larger
circle of more devoted friends than
those who with profound regret and
sorrow mourn the death OF Loulsi-
ana's talented statesman and much
loved son, Robert F. Broussard,
everybody's "Cousan Bob, y :.
Of singularly sympathetic and KIND,
ly temperament; always ready to lena
a helping hand to those in distress or
need; brave, open and. upright; en-
gaging in manner and appearance; an
ELOQUENT speaker, Independent think
or and fearless in pursuance of what
ever course he deemed just and flght
above all, a sincere and affectlonate
friend, it is not to be wondered at
that he earned the confidence, admlra-
tion and warm regard of all who
were privileged to know him, well.
Almost idolized by the people OF
the third congressional district, II
respective of social class or station,
he was invincible among them as a
candidate, and when his political
horizon became statewide by his en-.
trv into the senatorial primary OF
1912, the success which he achieved
in that memorable contest was an ad-
ditional tribute to his remarkable
faculty for creating popular conn.
dence and winning the friendship OF
his fellow citizens.
It is painful to contemplate Ihe
loss to the state and country OF sucn
a capable and faithful public servant
and still more 50 to consider the pass
ine of such a worthy and lovable char
acter in the very: flower and zenith
of his manhood. His memory Will pe
enshrined in the hearts OF the people
he served so long and so well.
