only two unions that were larger in
size and Jubilee gifts than Welsh.

the time these nicely favored biValyes
had found resting place after their
last journey, Rev. Jordan, hoste and
ex- officio master of ceremonies, called
upon Rev Bosch, pastor of the Pres

count of having scented chicken, Rev
Bosch spoke very briefly upon the
subject, 1.-THE Church's Duty to the
Community"
Next followed the chicken and sal

boarded, while in the legislature. at

at which Thomas Anderson boarded,
referred in this connection to the praise
accorded to Anderson by Col. Stubs
in recent public speech.
Dinner at Lake Arthur. the piece de
resistance of which was ostrich mas
querading as turkey, was followed by
another auto pageant back via Jen-

feature to the return pageant which
was not previously scheduled A large
motor truck, all but hidden under
decorative covering of red, white and
blue bunting, Parker Bouanchaud post
eTs and banners, drew up just as Mr..
Parker was preparing to leave. In the
motor truck were an even dozen of
Jeff. Davis parish's prettiest girls, two
guitars, two ukuleles, twelve sets of
vocal chords, twelve grim determin-
ations to make those vocal chords ac-
complish the impossible in the way of
songs, cheers and sheer exhuberant
noise.
"They wasted no ceremony about
| inviting Mr.. Parker to ride with them.
One of the girls skillfully lassooed the
hitherto independent candidate and
willy-nilly Mr.. Parker took his seat in
triumph in the truck. Then there
were songs like 'Johnny's in Town.

Over Him. and ninety 'leven rahs

meeting in the Auditorium.
Even Stubs supporters who wit,
messed both meetings, admitted that
the Parker-B ouanchaud meeting sur
passed the recent Stubs meeting
here, both in numbers and in the am
cunt of enthusiasm displayed.
Or B. J. LaCour, who presided at
the meeting in the Auditorium, drew
sharp distinction in his Introductory
address between what he termed the
candidates of real Democracy as op-
posed to the candidates of regular

1.-The Regular Democracy, he said

i the contest is one of civic virtue
against the organized professional
politicians. This contest must be sue
cessful, for Parker's election will car

dollars for church extension, education

The quota of the Welsh church in this
big sum was $S,O0OOO. Not only did
the local church raise their $S,OOO.OO,
but they have pushed their total up
to 12,SOS.O0. In this work they have
discovered themselves and the great
possibilities for christian work that
lye before them.
1t is understood that the Baptists
are now planning the securing OF a
suitable pastorium. That they will be
early successful in the undertaking
goes without saying.

To the Catholic Congregation,

The renting of the pews in the
Catholic church, for 1920, falls due on
the first Sunday of the year, January
4th.
The universal raise of prices on
everything makes imperative a sub
stantial increase in the revenue or the
church, as everyone will readily un-
derstand The only dependable way
of insuring that necessary increase In
revenue is a raise in the rate Of Pew
rent. Our present rate was never
changed since five years and does no
longer answer the needs Of the pres
ent time. Such is the case for this
very year now ending.
To meet with the financial obliga'
tons of the church, next year, 1t is
absolutely necessary to raise the rate
to $3.50 per seat, at least; with the
usual provision of auctioning, and CIV
ing to the highest bidder the privilege
of choosing the location Of the family
pew.
Should any family insist on secur'
ing, in advance, their usual pew, with
out having it subject to auction, that
favor shall be granted to them, for
this coming year if they are willing
to contribute $500 for pew
The generosity of each and every
Catholic family, in that matter, Will
be. more than ever valuable, In the
present circumstances, and very sin
cerely appreciated by all who feel in
terested in the welfare Of our local
church.
