THIS DISTRICT GONE
over THE TOP"
WITH VICTORY LOAN

.~~Chairman E. C. Willard of the
Victory Loan committee author.
ICES the statement that this dist
riot, the west end of Jefferson
Davis parish, has subscribed its
full quota of the Victory Loan. ....
.~.. Thursday, morning the. sub
scriptions totaled $4,000. Two
more days of the drive remain
and Mr.. Willard asserted that
whatever of the $4,000 remain
ed untaken Saturday would be
absorbed by the bank, thus as
surfing that the quota would be
taken care of.
The cOmmitte has worked hard
for the success of this, the last
war loan, and despite a combi-
nation of circumstances which
worked against the success of the
loan they have been successful
beyond prediction. To those
men, and those persons who sub
scribed literally to the loan, thus
proving that patriotism still lives
great deal of credit is due. ..

Landry J. Broussard
Died in Germany.

Sad news has been received
by relatives here of the death of
Landry J. BrouSsard, which oc-
cured somewhere on the line of
American occupation in Germany
on April 3rd. Death was caused
from an abseSS of the inner ear.
Private LIST Class Landry J.
BrouSsard was a son of F. D.
BrouSsard of Lowery and a broth
er of Mrs. Dupre HILBERT of Welsh
He enlisted in the medical corps
in July, 1917, training in that
branch of the service at Camp
Travis, San Antonio, Texas. He
served with Ambulance Co. No.
355, A. E. +. and with the Ameri-
can army of occupation now in
Germany, with credit to himself
and to his command. He took
part In the big battles of Chateau
TERRY and was in the trenches
at one time for more than a mon
tn in a stretch without relief.
The last letter received from
Landry by his relatives he was
in Trieff, Germany. From the
meager information received his
relatives do not know whether
his remains were inferred in Ger
man or French soil.
Another son of Mr.. BrouSsard,
William, has just recently land
ed in New York. He was serious
ly wounded in battle some time
in October but his relatives did
not know of his injuries until
after he arrived in the United
States.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.


The musical numbers at the re-
cital were fine. Everybody en-
Iioyed them, but the recital as a
whole was a disappointment.
Half of the door receipts had to
be given to the lady for the So
called entertainment. The school
realized $28.50 after all expenses
were paid. AS principal of the
Welsh High School | wish to say
that we meant well. We wanted
to furnish you an evening OF
good, wholesome entertainment
We failed. If any of you want
your money back see me at the
office.
| shall be glad if we can ar
range to have five or six real ly-
ceum attractions next year, back
ed by representative citizens OF
the community with a positive
guarantee that the public will be
served. We need entertainment
but we want it to be wholesome
and high-clasS.
Rev. Bosch will preach the
May 18th at the Auditorium
There will be- no services at the
II o'clock hour in the churches
of Welsh. You are cordially in
vited to be present. There vii
be special music and excellent
singing by a choir of the bes'
talent in the community. Come
early if you want back seat.
/ Yours to serve,
VIM. A. McGuff.

ceIalry Horses For inc !.
Administration by congress Is
sought in a joint resolution introduc-
ed n the senate by Senator w, j.
Harris of Georgia to provide the Con-
federate veterans at their reunion IN
Atlanta from October 70 10 with gov
eminent property which would enable
the veterans more appropriately TO
cary out their program. Senator Har-
ris' resolution would authorize ana d.
rect the secretary Of war to permit
the use of such horses and saddle
eouipment as he thinks necessary
The use of tents and cots is also au'
thorized at the discretion OF the war
department. It developed that Sec
retary Baker had no authority to per-
nit the use of the property by the
veterans when Senator Harris took
the matter up further with him. Thus
a Joint resolution was necessary, II the
Confederate veterans Of the famous
cavalry corps are to have horses.
The usual procedure in that case is
for the mayor to give bond for the
property which is used in the name
of the city, and this has been provid-
ed for in the resolution OF Senator
Harris.
