ELKs OPEN NEW HOME.
Thousands Attend Great Ceremony
Which Marks Dedication.

| nOuSaRaS AtIGn0 AEGaL ceremony
| Which Marks Dedication.
One Of the most elaborate and inn
pressive ceremonies ever witnessed
i'm New Orleans, was that which at
tended the formal dedication of the
new 100000 home and club rooms
Of the Elks Sunday, at IL o'clock
a. m. Thousands of people stood
bare-headed in Elk's Place while the
ritual and other ceremonies were
carried out, and choir Of women
sang and the Elk's great band played
sacred and patriotic music.
The event was national affair,
and Elks from all parts Of the United
States were in attendance and took
part in the ceremonies, which were
presided over by Bruce A. Campbell
of East st. Louis, ILL.,, grand exalted
ruler of the order.
The ceremonies. were opened by
the Elks' band which played "My Old
Kentucky Home" after which prayer
was offered by Rev. Mr.. Dysart The
woman's choir sang My Louisiana" J"
written for the occasion by Henry
Wehrman Of New Orleans.
The dedication was then begun by
the erection of the altar. One by one
the officers of the various stations
placed the four stones symbolizing
the principles Of the order. The
white stone, representing charity,
was placed first; then followed the
pink, symbolic Of justice; the blue,
representing brotherly love, and last
| the scarlet stone, indicating fidelity.
The American flag, emblematic Of
freedom and unity was draped over
the stones, while the Elks and the
spectators sang The Star Spangled
Banner" A bible was then placed
on top Of the flag and Nearer My
God To. Thee" was sung. Antlers,
1.-THE symbol of the protection afford
ed by the order through brotherly
love, were next placed, while "Auld
Lang Syne" was sung.
John P. Sullivan, ex-officio chair
man Of the building committee, then
presented the keys of the home to
Grand Exalted Ruler Campbell, who
ip1aced them on the alter. He then
Isounded the gavel, ordering all to
Irise. When they had stood up, he
formally declared the home dedicated,
thu bid
dedication festivities was the iritia-
| tiion Of class of 10 new members
into the mysteries Of the order. The
limitation took place Saturday eve
ming and was preceded by monster
parade in which several thousand
Elks from New Orleans and all parts
of the country participated.
The celebration came to an end
Monday night, when the Elks and
4their friends took part in a body in
the grand opening Of the New Or
laans Automobile show at the
| Athenaeun1
The large number of delegates
from the Donaldsonville lodge, who
attended the celebration, declare that

axcelIently and successfully managed
affairs Of the kind in the history OF
the order, and they are loud in their
praise Of the splendid work Of the
yarious committees in charge of the
elaborate program, and the hospitable
reception accorded by the New Or

"The SheriH's $ Som"

Charles Ray returns to the screen
this week in new Paramount pic
ture which fairly sizzles with vivility
and punch. It is "The Sheriff's Son.
undoubtedly one of the greatest at
fractions in which the popular star
has ever appeared. It is sure-fire
success. The story carries an un-
usually dramatic theme, the central
idea Of which is the psychological eff
feet Of prenatal fear upon the hero.
This play will be the attraction at the

"The Romance of Happy Valley

"The Romance of Happy Valley"
This time the genius of D. W,
Griffith has been turned to the coun-
try. the farm section of Ohio, and
about the people Of little village he
has woven a romance that for sheer
interest and deep understanding OF
human nature has never been ap-
preached on the screen before. There
are no big scenes in this picture, no
thrills, no massive sets or anything OF
that nature. It's just about as diff
ferent from Mr.. Grifith's late pic
lures as darkness is from day, but it
IN one of the most human documents
ever filmed, a picture that will live
for years, a photodrama that will
furnish the finest kind of entertain
ment for thousands. Screen fans are
going to like this Happy Valley ro-
nance. 1t tells about real people,
the sort that everybody know, and
tells about them in such a way as to
hold interest from first to last.
Lillian Gish is extremely fascin \
ting in the role of Jennie Timberlake.
She lives the part; her every scene is
registered strongly. In this picture
Miss Gish is ideal, and has never done
anything better. This enjoyable
photoplay will be shown at the Grand
Theatre Tuesday.

PLANT MORE CORN.
Farmers Of this Section Are Urged
to Give More Attention to Crops.


The following interesting circular
letter has been addressed to the cane
and rice planters Of Ascension by j..
Oswald Montegut, parish farm agent: !:
"Since my coming into this parish
some two years ago, ! have observed,
with keen interest and deep appre-
|hension, the planting system follow
ed by a large number of you and it
strikes me most forcibly that the
question which has been overlooked
the most on the plantations of our
parish is probably the feed question.
Too long have we relied upon the
central states for our corn, and in
some instances our hay supply. Hence,
while they built up their lands to a
wonderfully productive fertility, they
ibid so at our expense.
|! Realizing that no system of farm
ing is. safe or economical which does
not make ample provisions for the
growing of all feed needed on the
plantation, it appears to me that
corn should and must receive more
consideration at the hands of our
planters than it has heretofore. It
is necessary that corn be grown as
an important and essential crop in
our system of planting, rather than
as an incidental, minor, side-line
crop.
IF it pays or justifes the grain
farmers of the central and middle
western states to grow cheap corn

FAVOR FEDERAL. CONTROL.
Telegraph Operators Want United
States to Retain Railroads.

Division 88 of the Order of Rail-
way Telegraphers, representing the
agents and telegraphers employed by
the Texas and Pacific Railway Com
pany, adopted a set of resolutions re-
Gently favoring government retention
and operations of the railroads of the
country.
Among the reasons given in said
resolutions for urging such action by
the government are the following:
s'Under private management the
railroads were impoverished by the
system of paying High salaries to un-
necessary officials and corporation
lawyers and lobbyists who were en-
ployed for the purpose Of tampering
with legislators and otherwise pre-
venting the true course of justice.
"The private managements Of rail
roads have invariably disregarded the
rights of the public to the detriment
of the shippers, the receivers and the
travelling public.
'sUnder private management the
rights of the workers have never been
recognized, the only means of redress
being the strike with its attendant
Inconvenience to the public
'sThe distribution of cars under
private management has never been
as equitable and efficient as it has
been under federal control
s"rhe railroad administration has
organized Division of Labor,
through which every conceivable
grievance can be appealed to Boards
of Adjustment, composed equally of
representatives Of the employers and
of the employees, an arrangement
that has worked 50 satisfactorily that
there is abundant reason to believe
that the day of the railroad strike is
past"
Copies Of the resolutions have been
mailed to the senators and represent
atives in congress; to the heads Of
the several labor organizations repre-
senting railroad emplo oyees, and TO
the president and each general chair
man Of the Order Of Railroad Tele-
graphers.

TO TEACH THRIFT IN SCHOOLS.
Children Will Be Taught to Save and
Invest in War Stamps.

| Teaching thrift in the schools in
+ the parishes included in the New Or
leans branch of the Federal Reserve
Bank district will begin Monday,
April z. The outline of series of
lessons is to be sent at once to the
teachers, to be used during the re-
mainder of the present session. 1t
will indicate instruction for the vari-
Gus grades, which may be supple.
lmented by personal instruction by
the teachers.
The big meeting Of the parish
school supeintendd9 in New Or
leans Saturday which was attended
by Superintendent HI. P. Broussard
of this parish, was the great initial
move in the plan of teaching all the
lyoung people in Louisiana to save
and invest their money, of course
preferably in government securities.
The first thing is Thrift-to get
Isomething to save is the first step and
then to save something every day,
every week or every month and at the
end of the year have comfortable
investment that will grow bigger the
second year. 1t may be that it will
not appear to be growing fast enough,
but at 4 per cent per annum war
savings stamps will accumulate as
good money as savings of any kind
land the bigger sums may be put into
bigger things.
It was decided at the meeting that
there will be permanent course os
teaching in the schools and several
prominent men Of the state and all
parish school supe1intendents were
|appointed as committee to prepare
La program for the school work. This
lplan puts the teaching directly in the
hands of the school authorities Of the
state.
Addresses We're heard from Felix
E. Gunter, state director; Silas w
Davis, director of thrift for the sixth
federal reserve district; A. B. Camp
|bell, school director for Mississippi:
III. III. Jackson, school director for
alabama; Prof. E. s. Richardson Of
/ Baton Rouge, state director Of agri-
Ieultural extension work DR.. Roswell
j w. Rogers, vice state director Of Lou
lisiana;; Miss Alice Hickman, state dai-
;IIIireet home scon u
4 Cooper Of Atlanta, school director
H for the sixth federal reserve district,
4 and John M Parker.
The report by Chairman Hatcher
Istated that as he teaching of thrift
to the boys and girls of Louisiana is
an important factor in the formation
of character, principals and teachers
|should keep in mind this fundamental
iprinciple in their efforts to make the
lsale of stamps. 54.s
4 The committee proposed that a
definite outline be placed in the
hands of the teachers for teaching
thrift'in the remaining months of the
spresent school session and that for
j the next session a course of study be
prepared, to be used permanently ani
that a definite time be given to this
work daily and plan be made where
Iby teachers may be enabled to keep
on hand stamps for sale to the chill
I dren and that periodical reports Of
#isa1es be made to the parish superin-
tendents, who will report to the state
superintendent of education.

ARMENIAN RELIEF CAMPAIGN
More Money Needed for the Starving
People of the Near East.

The richest and the happiest people
in the world today are those who
treasure in their hearts a warmth,
a love, sympathy for their fellow
men. Worldly wealth does not COM
pare with heart wealth, and no
amount Of money can take the place
Of that glow and that peace Of mind
which comes when one has made a
denfnite sacrifice to help others.
At the present moment an oppor-
tunity exists for laying up treasure
in heaven" that has never had a pa
rallel in the worlds history. The
emaciated hands Of four millions Of
starving, clothless, shelterless peo.
| ole four hundred thousand of them
little orphans arc stretched out te
us from that disant land, where there
has been no peace for forty years
I and where the monstrous Turk ha!
pillaged the people and laid waste th.
land for many years, long before tn,
| last terrible struggle began.
These are Christian people, Jew
and Protestants and Catholics. Her
! IN America we rejoice that the wa
/ is over, but these people do not know
what rejoicing 1neans--they hav
forgotten how to smile, they have al
most forgotten how to eat.
We like to say that the war ha
freed the world. Let us make it sc
Tt lies in our hands to do it. Wher
Tour hearts are there will our treas
ure be also. Let us treasure this OF
portunity to help stricken hun1a
beings, the innocent victims of terr
Ible wrongs, and LET us put our hear
