Assn. Hyphenates
Its Name.

] On last Tuesday the Association oil
Commerce held an important meeting
The general dissatisfaction over the
name manifested itself, in keeping
with the objections made the commit
tee soliciting members, on the part OF
those who were approached to affiliate.
There were only three people less than
at the previous meeting. When the
adoption of that section of the rules
and regulations fixing the name came
up for consideration, after moving to
reconsider, a motion was put and car
ried, almost unanimously, there being
two dissenting voices, to give the or
ganization the name of Thibodaux.
Lafourche Association of Commerce
and by this name it shall go and be
known. The section providing for two
vice presidents instead of ten was
changed to two at recommen-
dation of committee. The en-
tire membership shall constitute the
Board of Directors, that Is each MEN,
Der is director. Seven members ex-
elusive of the officers shall constitute
a quorum. Whenever any matter of i'm
portance is to be brought before the
association the member desiring to
bring the same shall give written no
tice to the Secretary Manager who
shall give the entire membership writ
ten notice of the intention. The Secre-
tary-Manager and the Treasurer
shall furnish bond of $1,000 each, pre-
MUM to be paid by the association.
The roll showed 72 members signed
up, two already having paid the years
dues in advance. All members are now
asked to pay their dues. The commit
tee on membership was solicited to
collect dues as we'll as the treasurer,
pending the selection of permanent
Secretary Treasurer. The committee
on the Chacahoula road reported the.
correspondence had, regarding the mat
ter with the Governor and
with the Highway Com
mission, all letters written
having been referred to the commits
sion and earliest attention promised.
The next meeting will be held next
Tuesday, there after monthly, or SUBJ
ject to call.

Live Meeting,


The local council Knights of Colum-
bus on last Sunday afternoon held a
very interesting meeting at which was
transacted considerable business of
great importance and moment to the
order, assuring its continual growth in
this parish. With membership OF
something over 230, increased by the
last initiation, last month, the council
has taken steps to insure the imitation
of another class. If present plans are
carried out there will be an initiation
the second Sunday in September. 9th
er matters were discussed, no mention
of which is said to be desired at this
time, for this reason we are unable to
give further details, save to say that
every Knight left the council chamber
last Sunday enthused as he had never
been enthused before. There will be
big doings at the next meeting.

OF Saodaux considerable injury as

4 tice. The staesE sat. accompanying the
map seeks to isnSac Thlf1 Sayx regard
ing the roadway, which is unfinished
between Raceland and Avoca, on the

matter is that a further injustice is
done the travelling public in the fact
that the article is SO couched as to hide
the truth. The shortest route from
Raceland to Avoca is by way of
Thibodaux to Chacahoula, Donner, Gio

discussed this article and it's map;.and
it was the concensus Of opinion, on the

that the State Highway Departments

This office has received a letter from
Mrs. William Wichern and among
other things she says:
1t rained here the day before
Thanksgiving the first rain we have
seen since the slight shower at Kan

We just returned from delightful
drive where we could see at the same
moment the most beautiful flowers
along the roadside and in the yards
and snow upon the mountains. Are
all in the best of health and enjoying
California to the utmost.
We found it necessary to buy a

TO OUR READERS

Publishers of newspapers and
especially owners of small town
dailies and country weekIies are
face to face with the most serious
conditions in the history of Ameri-
can journalism.
There is an awful shortage of
paper, the kind Of paper used by
newspapers The present price
of news print (if you can get IT'D
has become so exorbitant that
few small papers can pay it and
long survive. This condition has
been brought about largely by the
unusual amount of advertising at
high rate that is being carried by
the large city dailies. In order
to have enough paper to run edi-
tons large enough to accommo-
date this advertising the pub
fishers have gone into the paper
market through their brokers and
offered almost any price to get
paper. The result is. that the job
bers, through whom the small pap
ers deal, have not been able to get
enough paper (even at fabulous
prices) to supply the needs of the
smaller papers. There have been
other contributing factors to help
produce a shortage of paper.
We note in many of the ex-
changes that come to this office
that the publishers are announc-
ing a necessary, increase in the
cost of subscription price for their
papers.
For the present there will be
no increase in the subscription
price of either the Baraboo
Daily News or the Baraboo Week.
iy News and we hope that con-
ditions will improve. If not rad
icai change may be necessary. In
the meantime we will try so far
as possible to take care Of our in
creased costs of operation by an
adjustment of our advertising
rates.
