Two Auction Sales
During Farmers Week

On August 7th there will be an
auction sale of registered hogs, Du-
rocs, Big-boned Poland Chinas and
Berkshires, at the university grounds,
Baton Rouge. These animals will be
consigned to different breeders of this
state, from Mississippi and from Tex
as, and will represent the best blood
lines to be had.
On August s the sale will be de-
voted to Shorthorn, Hereford and An
gus cattle. The type of animals that
will be consigned will be the ones
that r best suited for farm service
on stock farms that are to be free of
cattle ticks. A few tick-immune ami
mails well be scld, but most of them
will be expected to go into the ter
ritory where they can be protected
until the completion Of the eradica-
ton of the cattle etick.
It is hoped to make this an i'm
portant day in the history of live
stock improvement in Louisiana.
These two sales will be the closing
events of the farmers week at the uni
versity.

CLAYTON D'AvY IS
HOME FROM FRANCE

Another home was gladdened last
Saturday when Clayton DfAvy, dis
charged at Camp Shelby, was met at
the depot by his father and mother,
Mr.. and Mrs. Yves D'Avy, his two sis
tiers, Misses "Tonia" and Lillian, and
his only brother, Whitney D'Avy. Miss
Lorena D'AVy was there also for Uncle
Clayton and promised her a Hun and
that was almost the first question the
little girl asked: Uncle Clayton, did
you bring my HUM"
While yet on the train the young
soldier gazed out eagerly until he
found the face he sought, that OF his
mother. Hello there, mother he
called, and she choking back her sobs
cried softly, my boy, my boy"
There was one missing to complete
the happiness of the returned soldier
and that one was his bride who lives
with her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Ducote
of Lafayette. However she arrived
on the afternoon train and was met
by her husband, where more tears
and smiles were displayed.
After spending a few days here with
his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. D'Avy left
for Lafayette where they will spend
few days with the brides parents.

story. Could you ask for more con-
vineing testimony?
II have great faith In Doan's Kidney
Pills, for they have done me more
good than any medicine | have ever
taken" says Mrs. st. Cyr. whenever
my kidneys cause me any trouble, l get
a box of Doan's Kidney Pills and a
few doses always give me quick re-
lief. At times, | am troubled with
rheumatic twinges in my muscles and
my kidneys don't act right. After
using Doan's Kidney Pills, the truoble
passes away. | cant speak too highly
in praise of this remedy, for it is just
as represented

The above statement was given on
April 25, 1914, and on March IS, 1918,
Mrs. st. Cyr said: ANY time | need
a kidney medicine, / use Doan's Kid

me quick relief. / recommend Doan's

WAITING! WAITING!
Dedicated to My Dearest Friend

Sequel to I'VE Must Part Today
I'd rather you did in coffin lay,
Than be thus taken from me away
For when loved one doth in coffin lay
IT'S hard, know, Gods will to obey,
And to give back again dust to dust
Fen tho very great may be u trust.
But, darling, to have you snatched
from me,
Is harder, yes, than death could be
For were 0 dead, in a better land,
/ know you'd be. and almighty hand,
Would let you smile down from land
above
Upon him who gave you his hearts
love,
From you / don't cen get a letter
But little girl, | guess it's better,
| wonder if you remember yet,
Or If your youth has let you forget,
Your true lover who told you good bye
Because duty called and he said AYE"
But no, darling, I need not fear,
/ know in spirit you're e'er me near,
Waiting, waiting with me for Heavens
day
Where no n shall e'er our love gain
say,
All, yes, we shall have fore'er above,
That which earth did deny us-our
love.

Enlarged Concern
To Do Business
On Large Scale

Lafayette is about to add another
member to it's rapidly growing indus
trial family.
The Lafayette Electric Company,
under the management of u vol
known and popular fellow townsman,
]. o. Herpin, has been the recipient
Of such steadily increasing patronage
as to make it necessary to extned
the scope of business.
To this end will be associated with
him H. NJ. Sammons,, recently return
ed from Texas, and H. r. Bodemuller,
for years connected with Pearson
Engineering Corporation of New York
and but recently returned from France,
where he served in the science and
research division of the army.
Mr.. Sammons is an expert estima-
tor of electrical construction and a
busines man of sound judgment.
The Lafayette Electric Company was
first made a sound and profitable bust
ness venture under his direction and
his association in the new organiza-
ton is a distinct asset.
Mr.. Bodemuller is one of a grow
ing list of electrical engineers who,
recognizing the future of electrical
equipment as applied to the automo-
bile, has specialized in this field.
He will have charge of the department
devoted to the repair and sale of stor-
age batteries, starters, generators and
ignition systems for automobiles.
1t is the intention of the newly
formed organization to extend its
field of operations to all of South
west Louisiana. With ample capital,
a strong technical organization and
Mr.. Helpin directing the general pol
icy, sales and purchases, the company
presents one of the strongest and best
balanced organizations of the class in
the state.
Lafayette has been chosen as the
home of the new organization, be-
cause of a profound belief in the fu-
ture of Lafayette as a great indus
trial center and a commanding in
fuence in the of South
west Louisiana. We congratulate
the members of the company On
their decision and wish them success.
