LIFE OF RELIGIOUS LABOR
COMES AT 81

Mother Cough, whose NIX is very
familiar to the numerSfs friends Of
! the institution, was bSeh in Albany, N.

House in Paris.
All through her religious life Moth
er Cough devoted herself to the work
of education in the different houses
of the Southland: in st. Michaeps
Natchitoches, New Orleans, and in
Selma, Ala. But it is especially at
Grand Coteau, La, that the devoted
=, mother gave full scope to her zeal
when in 1889 she was called upon by
her superior to organize the Parochial
school, To that important task she
gave herself instinctly with charac-
teristic energy and earnestness. La
boring with success in that part of the
Lords Vineyard for twenty-four
years; securing during that long span
the deserved esteem, appreciation and
affection of an ever widening circle
of friends. Seven years ago on account
of advancing age, Mother Cough was
called upon to make the sacrifice of
work she dearly loved. Since then
she has been preparing to answer the
last call of the Master she had ever
served most faithfully. That SUI
preme summons came Saturday at p.
m. The funeral services took place
in the Convent chapel Sunday, August
1st.
A large concourse of sympathetic
and grateful friends and former pu-

last resting place in the peaceful con-

A WoMAN'S PLEA FOR
A. COMMUNITY NURSE

Our parish is a good parish, per-
feotly normal, reasonably intelligent
and filled with people who are more
or less cultured, JUST so. OF course
it is so. But what we need is COM
MUNITY NURSE. For how many
epidemics are lurking in the almost
phere of our parish-epidemic which
might be prevented if detected in
time. How many Of your bright faced
children have incipent diseases or
defective teeth, eyes, ears, tonsils or
lungs. How many have adenoids
How many of the babies being born
into your community are receiv-
ing proper prenatal and post-natal
care-care that will help give them
sound bodies and nerves. How many
of your sick or disabled are really
suffering because they do not know
how to follow up their Doctors ad-
vice or how to take care of their
wounds. Who is looking after the ba-
bies who are underfed and the poor
who are in ditress but too proud to
ask help.
II you fell sick and no private
nurse were available is there any one
in your town who would drop in to
give you trained care. Here is where
the COMMUNITY NURSE COMES
AND SHE WILL HELP.
WHY NOT HAVE ONE IN OUR
PARISH OF ST. LANDRY.
WHO SAYS WE WANT TO BE
MANS EQUAL?
TO us is credited the assertion that
we want to be equal to men. 1t isn't
true: Never once have we doubted our
equality. We wish to be helpmates,
and by our God-given right of bring.
ing children into the world we
should have a voice in making the
laws which control them. We must
have COMMUNITY NURSES to teach
us to prevent diseased and take care
of the scik.
Home economics must be taught in
every school, manual training and
agriculture must have places in the
the rural schools. We would improve
our communities, while those men
who wished played politics"

SEEKING TWELVE
HUNDRED MEMBERS
in ASSOCIATION
Cotton Producers of Parish
Urged to Affiliate With
Big Organization
ST. LANDRY'S QUOTA
HASN'T BEEN SECURED
Bankers and Business Men Urged to
Aid in Educating Farmers to Nee
!: esslty for Organized Effort in
Handling Staple

st. Landry's quota has been fixed
at 1900 members in the American
Cotton Association. Although the
work here has progressed very salts
facotrily, that number has not been
secured yet.
The American Cotton Association
aims to gather into one organization
all the producers of cotton and all 9TH
Ter men whose lines Of activity are re-
lated to the cotton industry. Through
that channel great power for good
can be established, the price of cotton
can be regulated in such a way that
the grower will realize, not only
fair price for his product, but also be
assured of fair margin of profit.
It is not the aim of the association
to establish a fictitious price for cot
ton. but it would provide an intelli-
gent marketing system and thereby
enable the farmers to get full returns
for their main crop instead of having
the spectators make most of the pro-
fit.
AS in all other big enterprises, the
success of the association depends on
the thoroughness of the organization.
The most important feature of the or
ganization work is education. 1t is
therefore essential that everyone,
business men as well as farmers,
should see to it that this work is car
ried out in detail.
There are four classes of members
in the American Association, namely
1. Charter members who pay
$4,000. This pays the membership
until 1928.
2. Farmer membership. The farm
er pays 25 cents per bale on 1917 pro-
duction for the first year and 10
cents for the second year.
3. Merchants, bankers, manufac-
turers, ETC., pay 25 cents per $1OOO.Rd
capital invested, except where chsfter
memberships have been taken/
4. Business and professional men
pay $500 per year.
Each member of tbs association
will receive the cottoa journal which
will keep him posted as to the work
Of the organization.

CHECK FORGER
Is TRAPPED BY
CONSTABLE HORN
"EASY MONEY" TIME FOR cLlN-
TON THIRoDEAUX, NEGRO ENDS
WITH HIS ARREST SUNDAY

Clinton Thibodeaux negro was ar
rested Sunday morning by Plais Horn
and will be held in the parish Jail to
await action by the grand jury On the
charge Of forgery. The black dealed
his guilt when first approached but
fell for a ruse of officer Horn and con-
fessed.
For week or more the local banks
had been receiving checks made out
in varying amounts from fifteen to
fifty dollars and signed by Willie
Moore" for collection at the Washing
ton State Bank in Washington. In
quiries from local bank officials in
varaibly brought the reply the checks
were good but when they reached the
bank in Washington they were pro-
nounced forgeries. Thibodeaux was
suspected and for several days had
been under surveillance by the Off
GERS. Sunday morning Officers Horn
and Prud'homme, District Attorney
Garland and ]. A. Perkins went to
Thibodeaux's home and accused him
Of the forgeries. He steadfastly
maintained his innonces but when told
by the officers that they had ample
evidence to prove that he was guilty
Of robbing the local postoffice the
night before, he crumbled and con-
fessed to the crime of which he was
really suspected.
When the negro saw that he could
no longer escape the tolls of the law
he made a complete confession. He
stated that he had met Willie Moore
negro, of Chester, La, at the big Ne
gro Baptist Convention held in Ope
lousas several days ago and that
Moore had given him check for a
small amount on the Washington
State Bank for assistance in repairing
Moore's automobile He said that
when Moore gave him the check he
informed him that he had several hun
dred dollars on deposit in that bank.
Thibodeuax Works Fast
Using the signature on that check
and the information he had gathered
from Moore, Thibodeaux began a ser
les of forgeries that soon would have
bankrupted Moore, but he worked toe
fast During period of ten days he
issued no less than six checks for a
total of more than two hundred dollars
cashing them at various places OF
business from which they were sent
in for collection.

OPELOUSAS MAY
LOSE PERSHllC
HIGHWAY ROUTE
NATIONAL BODY PASSES REsoLU-
TON THAT WILL LEAVE SOME
COMMUNITY OUT

Many people in this vicinity Will
be surprised to learn that there IS
still a chance that the Pershing Way
will not pass through here, although
the route is marked and the prelimin-
airy survey has been made. The fact
of the matter is that the national
body which has promoted this route
is not satisfied with the support
which has or, perhaps more properly,
has not been accorded it in many
communities and is now considering
making certain changes.
The Board of Directors Of the Per-
shing Way associations on June %,
passed the following resolution:
Whereas, a number OF communities
have not accepted fully their obliga-
lions to the Pershing Way Association
Be it resolved by the directors OF
the association that the general man
ager be instructed to change the
routing of the highway to include
such communities as will render their
fair share of support, taking care that
the new locations be so devised as to
follow practical routes and to include
attractions pleasing to the tourists,
Where changes are necessary that
will cut out cooperating communities
on account Of the lack Of cooperation
of other communities on that section
all obligations from these commun-
tiles shall be cancelled at once.
One of the evidences of lack OF
support here is in the number OF
memberships which were taken out in
the association and which have not
been paid. The quota for this parish
for Pershing Highway district was two
hundred members.
OF this number only ia were Sc
cured and of this number only ~
have paid their first year dues. This
means that the records of the ma
tional association show that this par
ish has only fulfilled one-third OF its
obligation, as far as memberships
are concerned.
A controversy has also arisen oVel
the routing of the highway and un
less this is settled in some way sc
that the route may have the united
support of all people in the district
it is possible that it may be necessary
to change the routing to cut out en-
tirely these places.
Inasmuch as this is the only mark
ed highway passing through OpelOu
sas the people here are extremely
anxious that it shall be built as orr
ginally surveyed but in order tha
this may be done the national direct
ors feel that they must have better
support.
The officers of the local Pershinl
Way Association are as follows
President, Frank Dimmick, Shutes
ton; Vice-President John Savanr
Whiteville; Treasurer DR.. F. J. Gar
diner Sunset; Secretary L. A. Andre
pont Opelousas.
Anyone desiring further information
regarding the routing or wishing tt
Join the Pershing Way Association
in order to insure its passing through
Opelousas is asked to communicate
with any Of the officers or with the
