GREAT LIBERTY LOAN
CENPAICN BEGINS
TO-DAY.

The campaign to sell the Third
Liberty Loan Bond issue OF our
government begins to-day. Louis
iana's allotmentis is 500 ,b85, 733, while
st. Landry, our parish, must buy
1887 $50 OF these bonds.
To-day the parish campaign
was fittingly launched. Music in
spired those present and patriotic
speeches made known to the loyal
st. Landrians that they would be
called upon to aid the government
by buying liberty bonds. It goes
unsaid that St. Landry on the last
day of the big drive will be found in
the cover the top" column.
To further emphasize the fact
that this campaign is general in its
scope aud of paramount Importance
to every one, Mr.. Frank Dimmick,
Zone Chairman of the Liberty Loan
Committee, urges the cooperation
of all ministers and others in bring
ing these facts before the people.
Just how this can be done is found
in the following letter:
Shuteston, La, April lst, 1918.
Reverend Sir:
Saturday, April s, 1918, is Lib
erty Day. Ole year ago on that
day our great President, Woodrow
Wilson, was authorized to declare
war on the Imperial German Gov
ernment for the sake of humanity,
freedom of trade, for the liberation
of the down trodden, and for the
liberation and continued freedom OF
the Church.
On that day we will begin the
sale of the Third Liberty Bond Is
sue of our Great Government, and
we hope, on that day, to oversub-
scribe this issue This can be done
if every citizen has his heart in the
right place.
We expect every bell in the par
ish to be rung, and every whistle
blown, at every hour of the day,
from six o'clock A, M until three
o 'clock P. NJ, on that day to an
nounce to the World that this is the
war of every man, woman, and child
ia these United States.
We feel sure that you will comply
with our request, and feel assured
Of your assistance.
Very sincerely yours,
FRANK DIMMICK,
Zone Chairman.

LECTURE WILL BE REMEMBERED
BY THOSE WA. HEARD IT

The lecture delivered by the Rev.
de Ia Moriniere, S., j., at the High
School Building Tuesday night will
be remembered by those who heard
the orator-priest
The distinguished lecturer chose as
his theme the Tragedy Of Henry
VIII" a Shakespearean drama. In
this drama, according to tue lecturer,
the genius and wisdom of .he master
poet triumphs. This play but shows
the "emptiness of worldly honors
Here are found the wit, pathos,
passion and sublimity all the won
derful faculties and ackuirements of
the great dramatist, combined.
The priest in choice language painted
a beautiful word-picture Of the many
scenes that adorn this play. Those
present felt that they were witness
ing the splendors of the court life
Of the seventeenth century-in all its
glory and magnificence.
In a we'll modulated voice, he in
toned the words Of the crafty prime
minister on 'the vicissitudes of life:
80 farewell to the little. good you
bear me.
Farewell, a long farewell to all my
greatness! &
This is the state Of man To-day he
puts forth the tender leaves Of
hope" s@ss
But stthen comes frost, killing
frost" sa
and then .'he fall, he falls like Lu
cifer, never to hope again"
When the death scene Of Catharfne
the first spouse OF Henry
reached death scene Of "Catha
|rine, tht symbol Of sorrw." the au
dience, like the priest, felt that they
we're entering some sanctuary, en-
tering it in grief and sorrow" No
lone sound came from that vas
crowd as the words of the dying
queen feel from the lips Of the artis
lpriest.
The lesture was indeed one tina
will be remembered.

This letter says:
My Dear Parish Chairman:
The Government is asking for q

making in organizing War Savings
Societies. Please let me have this
at once.
Louisiana's high standard must
be maintained. This organization
is a most important part Of your
war work, carrying with it the don-
BILE duty; The small loan to your
Government within the reach OF all;
and the great lesson of National
and Patriotic Thrift. The future

Today your Government is in
actual need. You must forego the
luxuries Go into military train
ing, you of the second line Of de-
tense; yon must save food, clothes
and sacrifice excessive amusements
to save life and blood in the trench.
Don t ask why. Don tquestion any

PARISH SCHOOL BOARD
HOLDS INTERESTING
SESSION

The Parish School Board met in
regular session on April l. This
meeting was one Of interest to the
schools as matters of grave import
came up for consideration by the
school authorities.
Among the subjects brought up
before the board was the critical sit
pation that obtains in the schools
caused by the general exodus of
teachers for other professions where
they receive better remuneration
According to Prof. G. A. Ives,
state high school inspector, the loss
of teachers in the public schools by
the opening of the 19l8-l9 session in
September will be fully 1000 for
this year.
To the regular annual loss of 1000,
which is due largely to marriage,
will be added the loss of 304 already
resigned this session; 1872 already
drafted for military service; liz re.
signed to take up war work and re-
lated activities. These figures al 9
gotten from the reports of forty
five parishes received by Inspector
Ives, who estimates that the other
nineteen country parishes will bring
the loss so far up to 450. Inspector
Ives figures about $50 other teach
ers will desert the profession after
this session is over.
Heretofore new graduates have
offset the loss of 1000 teachers an
nually, but this cannot be counted
on now, says Inspector Ives, be-
cause the graduates will seek more
remunerative fields. Lack of funds
with which to pay teachers proper
salaries is blamed by the the State
Department of Education for the
bulk of these losses.
The local board realizing the eff
feet that this loss of teachers would
have on the parish schools took
steps to Offset that loss. Not know
ing the amount OF money that this
parish would receive from the state
for school purposes for the coming
session, the board could not figure
on specific increase in salaries,
but they decided to give teachers
who would contract with them for
the coming term any increase that
would be justifable under the in
crease of funds from the state.
Another matter that gained the
lattention OF the school men was of
moral character. The school au-
thorities, having been advised that
| pictures of an unclean and un3
swholesome character, which tend to
Hover the moral standard, are being
lexhibited to the people of the par
ish and especially to the children, :
and seeing the necessity of preserv-
ling the 100 per cent efficient man,
woman and child--etficient morally
and mentally passed . resolution
with this end in view.
| The resolution follows:
1 Therefore, be it resolved by the
School Board Of the Parish Of st.
Landry, that the town councils OF
| all towns OF the parish where such
films are exhibited are urged to
avail themselves of Act l8O of the
General Assembly of 1914, empow-
Iering all municipalities to select q
Board of Censors whose duty it will
be to exclude all pictures OF an nn-
clean or immoral character.
The new time had it's inning at
this meeting. The hands of all
/ school clocks must be advanced one
Ihour and all school people must
be at their work an hour earlier SC
there will be no excuse that the
time is out of joint. /"
