"This was the prediction Of the Uni

in the course of an interview here in
which he discussed the recent national
election.
II do not believe the League of Ma
tions is fated for the scrap heap" the
senator continued. 81 am of the firm
belief that they will get together in
some way and have substantially the
present league, with perhaps, some
additions to the Ledge reservations"
at would be in vain to try to get
new league whcn 43 nations are al
ready members Of the PRESENT. league,
and to absolutely scrap it and form an
entirely new one seems to me so far
fetched that I don't think it would be
practical.

Father MaurGt
Here Sunday

! On last Sunday priests from this, the
)Thibodaux Deanery, exchanged church
es for the purpose of explaining to the
different congregations the reason for
the one million dollar drive for the ma
jor Seminary, which drive it is contem-
plated will start January 10th next. We
ry Rev. Father A. M. Barber went to
st. Charles Church for both masses,
and Rev. Father A. S. Mauret, substi-
tutc1 him here. Father Mauret spoke
on the subject at both masses, made
strong, stirring and convincing ap-
pal, showing the necessity for the es-
tablishment of the seminary, in that
candidates for the priesthood could be
iaetructcd close to their respective
homes, and not abe sent away, would
learn the needs, the manner, and the
temperament of the people of this sec
tion, and at the same time be closer to
their respective families. He showed
that one million meant the building, its
equipment, and the maintenance of
the professors employed therein. That
foreign countries usually supplied
priests, but that in the late war 25, 900
priests had fallen, and that
we had to supply priests from our own
soil, our own cline. He compared this
oac million for an institution, not es-
tablshel or built, with Tulane's recent
dcig3 for two million, with all of its
built and equipped, for en-
]ownn1ent only. His remarks were ex-
-oF$ionally well received, and can but
nave good effect. T;
At ST Charles we understand that
7ether Barber made a most excellent
of the cause and that his
ppeal was soul stirring, and will be
ollowed by excellent results,

You Wouldn't Try
To Tame A Wildcat
Mr.: DOdson Warns Against Use of
TreacherOus, Dangerous CaIomei.

Calomel salivatees! It's mercury. Ca
lomel acts like dynamite on a sluggish
liver When calomel comes into con-
tact with sour bile it crashes into it,
causing framping and nausea.
Il you feel bilious, headachy, con-
e pated and all klznocked out lust 90
g your druggist ard get bottle of
Dodson's Liver Tone for a few cents
which is harmltss vegetable substi-
ute for dangerous calomel. Take a
speenful and if it doesn't start your
liver and straighten you up better and
quicker than nasty calomela and with
out making you sick, you just go back
and get your money.
II you take calomel today you'll be
sick and nauseated tomorrow; besides.
it may salivate you, while if you take
oDodson's Liver Tone you will wake up
feeling great, full of ambition and rea-
dy for work or play. It's harmless, plea
SAINT and safe to give to children; they
like it.-Ady.

Cane Contracts
Proposed Tenants.

S Due to the uncertainty of the price Of
sugar and the fear that it may des-
cend, the American Can Growers AS
sociation have recommended the ma
king of contracts between manufactu-
rers and tenants, or cane sellers. The
contract offers one of three plans,
which advances the consumer in two of
the plans So per ton on his cane, the
balance to be based upon
the average price of sugar
p. Y. c., during the grinding
season, and to be paid him when the
manufacturer sells the same. The con
tract in two of its options, as we are in
formed, would only insure payment on
the average prevailing price during the
grinding season, but affords the man
ufacturer the opportunity Of holding
the product, without paying the full
amount; the other gives the cane man
the privilege of receiving for every ton.
of cane delivered, 100 pounds of sugar.
either delivered the cane man at the
factory, or held for hime by the man
ufacturer and sold for his account.
when the committee deems advisable
at the then prevailing Price less the
cost Of transportation to market and
loss in weight; which seems to be the
fairest plan of the three offered. One
Of the three plans are available. and it
IS optional with the individual cane
man. We do not know which is ap-
poaling to the cane seller, but unless
we are misinformed the cane man
gains nothing over the prevailing
grinding price, by acceeding to any
OF the plans, save the third plan; af-
fording opportunity to market tllt
product in quantities, and at stated
times, 50 as not TO deprecated the
price or glut the market. This contract
IS what gave rise to the erroneous re-
port that only three dollars per ton
was being paid for cane. We regret
space this week forbids us from pu- |
6lIshing the plans submitted in full. |
but we hope to do so later. Mr.. C. P.
Shaver and Mr.. Sam Polmer were ut
the conference submitting the contract.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

Rev. Father E. Raynal of Lockport.

with Mr.. Edgar Barrios on last Sun
day, following his ministrations to the
faithful Catholics at the Vacherie, was
the victim Of an accident in which he
and Mr.. Barrios both had narrow es-
capes, according to reports reaching
here. 1t appears they were approaching
the railroad crossing over the the pu-
bile roadway on Matthews plantation.
and due to the tall cane, near the ap-
proaeh, they did not observe the train
on the Loci1port branch, and when they
did notice it there was no chance to
retrace and instead Mr.. Barrios at
tempted to get by before the train but
the car failed with the result the auto
IN which they were travelling was hit.
and sent some distance from and off
the track, being smashed to pieces. The
Wrockage was dumped en- Father RAY

and injured, and Mr.. Barrios was
thrown in another direction and sus-
tanned number of cuts, and bruises.

DEVELOPMENT OF LAF0URCHE
PARISH.

Anything affecting the welfare O
the parish, should have the most ear
nest and hearty support Of our people
The town of Thibodaux voted Iast
woak upon themselves a part at least
OF the burden Of opening up new
route for great highway, that leading
from the Brule Guillot to the town of
Chacahoula in Terrebonne parish. This
shows that the people of Thibodaux
are most heartily in favor of helping
to develop new fields, and they are to
be congratulated in the fact that there
was little or no opposition to the bond
issue to put the deal across. We all
remember with what feeling of graft
tude the news that the short cut from
Bayou Lafourche to New Orleans via
Des Allemands, was received. This is
almost, if not quite as important. be-
cause this will be the means of open
ing up short route to Morgan City
and the Teche country, not only prov
ing a great benefit to the people of La
fourche and Terrebonne parish. but
viii give strangers an opportunity to
visit this great and rich section of
south Louisiana.
Now following closely upon this
great development in road building. the
people should all get together for a
long and trong pull for the Intercoas-
tai Canal, which also seems to be an
almost assured fact, and not only the
building of the Intercoastal Canal. or
that section of it extending from Nor
gan City to New Orleans, via Houma
and Lockport, but for the opening up
for navigation the waterway extending
from Bayou Lafourche through Lakes
Verret and Palourde to Morgan CITY
through the Cancienne Canal below
Napoleonville. This would not
only help our friends in
Thibodaux in getting anoth
E, er of their projects, but would be |
OF lasting benefit to the general public
as well as all of the Bayou Lafourche
and Bayou Teche points. At the same
time it would put Lockport at the pi-
Vot q two great water routes, wherein
steamboates could take their choice of
routes with Lockport as a hailing port
for either" er."-Lafourche Leader.

Love Feast At
Wednesday

! At Lockportt last Wednesday, dele.
cation representing the local chapter
American Red Cross, together with Sc
veral officers and members of the local
Association of Commerce, attended q
meeting called by the Lo export Asso-
tion, after discussing the Fourth Roll
Call for the Red Cross, to which the
lower part of the parish pledged itself
to raise one half of the required mem
borshing, and after discussing the ben
efits of trained nurse for the parish,
the meeting resolved itself into love
feast.
President Payne, of the local Asso-
citation spoke on Cooperation of the
two bodies for the many big projects
now on foot, highways waterways, etc.
and there seemed to be an excellent
response on the part of
all as expressed by Mr.. A. v.
Smith, Mr.. Joseph Price, DIR. Gouaux.
and others, which argues well for the
near future. We should have always
pulled together, and if we viii forget
politics long enough, forget selfish
ness, and the eagernes S the one to out
do, or prevent the other from advan-
cing, the better for all concerned.
What is being done now could just as
easily have been done ten and fifteen
years ago, we advocated it fifteen
years ago.

cerned the form of an individual in

himself to his property, and being be-
yond the reach of his trusty six shoot

mine the premesises, pick up odds and
ends, the party used a search light.
which afforded opportunity, and he
recognized the intruder. When the in
dividual left his room, he called to his
son in an adjoining room, and frigh-
tened him out by calling, but unfortu.
nately for the intruder, j. 2. had his
number, his color, his name, and his

the unlimited guest was jailed, and
last Saturday given preliminary
trial, before Judge S. R. Coulon and

Sendance. The Secretary was ordered
to issue warrants. to all constables and
justices for the two past months, under
the fees established before the ordi-
nance repeating the old fees. Messrs
Wilson P. Foret and F. J. Para Jr.
road ovcrseers, were dismissed and
relieved from further duty, after the
month of November, their services be-
ing dispensed with. Mr.. R. ]. Munch's
services as assistant overseer in Road
District No. 3 were dispensed with al
together. The road inspectors
were ordered to collect all
fhe road~nachinery and implements
for road work and bring~the same to
the town Of Thibodaux. All road work
was ordered discontinued.
A reward of $3.50 was ordered for
apprehension and conviction of the
party or parties who blew up with dy-
Mantle, the dipping vat in the seventh
ward, near Bush Grove Plantation:
the vat was dynamited on Wednesday
Of last week. This is the first act of
violence of this nature in this parish.
The officers of the body were autho-
rized to borrow $4,000 from
the fiscal agents of the
parish to tide the expense ac-
count over until the collection of taxes
An appropriation of $250 was made for
the fund being raised for a new build
ing or buildings for the Eye. Ear.

cement Of the Atchafalaya and Red

to pay the salary of the two bridge
keepers on the Thibodaux bridge, en-
ployed by the police juy for the past
month did not carry, four members
voting for. and four members not vo-
ting, asking to be excused from voting.
Inc question arises whether the police
Jury can under the circumstances le-
gally take parish funds to pay for an
expense based upon position not le-
gally toll bridge, and for which the
parish had previously been put to no
expense whatever.

Red Gross Call
Is Now On.

The fourth Red Cross roll call is nov
on. The start was made on Thursda!
last, the second anniversary of the
"Armistice. The American Legion ha.
the direction and management of hte
same, and in this locality the Ferdi-
the dirAaaiApmsaA management of the
wofNAol ganization The Legion
is particularly anxious to make sue
cess of the call for the reason that the
organization is giving especial atten-
:. tion to the needs, wants, and comforts
of the disabled soldiers, who were in
jured in the late war, overseas, and in
this country. Because Of the fact that
the Red Cross is giving the disabled
soldier all attention the Legion is an
xious to get the renewal of all mem
bers.
Locally the maximum amount of be-
nefit has not been derived from the es-
tablishment Of Chapter in the parish.
The peace time program has not been
carried out here, as it has in many 9th
er parishes. The local chapter however,
we are assured have made arrange
ment to increase the benefit, and to
that end contemplate having the
Home Nurse" to have her look after
the care, comfort and treatment of ali
patients, in any and all homes when
the disease is malignant or contagious.
With the expert advise thus received
much benefit can be realized, because
the nurse will be an experienced and
qualified nurse. In this same respect VIC
understand, that fifty cents Of every
contribution goes out of the parish, and
not fifty per cent as heretofore; SO that
if one donation be for 81 or for $10O
only fifty cents of that particular con-
tribution leaves the parish. Lieut. Cla-
renee Bourg is in charge of the Dire
for the local post. Actual soliciting
will only start Monday.
James c. Casserly, State Executive
Committeeman for the American Le-
gion, will speak at the CoIrt House on
