Hero Graves To
Be Shown Soon
Graves of Dead Americans will be
Flashed on Screen Throughout
The United States

By approval of the Graves Regis
tration Bureau at Washington and
with the authorization of Governor
R. G. Pleasant, pictures of the Amer
lean soldiers graves in France will
be shown in motion picture houses
throughout Louisiana on Memorial
Day this year.
Many of these pictures are supplied
by the American Committee for De-
wasted France, whose officers initial
ed this movement, and in whose dis
trict are found many of the U. S.
military cemeteries: These cemeteries
are visited by American women and
girls of the committee and the graves
are decorated by the women and child
rem of the returning refugee families
whose love and respect for the Amer
lean soldier is deep-felt and perma-
nent.
The Americans who fought in
France lie near the French
soldiers who for three years defend
ed their country and ours before we
entered the gigantic struggle and
turned the tide of combat. The tie
which brought. these soldiers together
in life is the tie which binds them
still and which cannot be severed.
They gave their lives for an ideal,
that future generations may live in
peace and independence.
Through the motion picture houses
relatives and friends of the fallen he
roes will be able in a sense to visit
the graves of their dead.

FILLING STATION MAY BE
ERECTED ON MAIN STREET

Opelousas may have modern and
up-to-date gasoline filling station in
the next few months, if current ru-
mors develop into things material.
The site has been temporarily select
ed and the lease papers drawn and
forwarded to New York for the sign
atures of the head officials of the
Standard Oil Company.
The site selected by the men sent
out to lock over the field is the Remi
Mornhinveg property on Main and
Bellevue streets. If the lease goes
through, as is expected it will, the
Standard Oil Company will erect a
modern and pretty brick building for
its filling station, such as is seen in
the most progressive of the smaller
cities of this state.

K. C.'s Give $50
To Rev. Colliard
State Council of the knights Of Col
umbus Present OpelOusas Past
or with Liberty Bond

The delegates to the state conven-
tion of the Knights of Columbus, re-
Gently held in this city, were SO ap-
preciative of the excellent work of the
Catholic priest, that they presented
him with a $50 Liberty Bond, pur-
chased by the state order during the
war.
The Knights had invested $3.50 in
bonds during the war, because the
order stands for its country even be-
fore itself, and the officers thought
it appropriate to assist the govern
ment in defraying the expenses of the
great war. These liberty bonds have
not been disposed of, so at the annual
session, here Monday resolution was
unanimously adopted disposing of the
bonds in the way of presents to the
Archbisop of one 500 bond, and one
each to Bishop Van de Van and to
Bishop ]. B. Jeanmard to be applied
to their respective seminary funds.
The bond to Father Colliard was an
outright gift and while the Opelousas
pastor was not present to personally
extend his thanks to the state council
he has shown so much interest in the
activities of the knights of Columbus
that il is expected he will highly value
the gift, especially coming, as it does
from the men who represent the order
in this state.

Must Pay City
Bills BY The 10th
New Mayor Warns Delinquents that
They Must Pay in Time Next
Month or Get Cut Off

1t is evident that Mayor Edward
L. Loeb will not tolerate slow pay
ment of city accounts by citizens who
have heretofore been accustomed to
take their time in "squaring" them
selves with the city clerk for their
light and water, as well as their taxes.
Warning is given all citizens that
those who fail to pay their bills in
full by the tenth Of next month will
suffer the discomforture of being cut
out of the light and water service.
Those who fail to pay their city taxes
during the time allotted them by law
will suffer the penalty of additional
costs.
In an interview to the editor of the
Star-Progress Mayor Loeb stated: ''It
is as impossible to run a city govern
ment without collection of its Just
dues as it is to operate commercial
establishment doing credit without
collecting the money owed it. The
present administration will not toll
crate indifference on the part of citi-
zens and as a result all who fail to
pay their light and water bill by the
10th of June viii be cut out Of the
city service without any more ado
about it."
City Clerk Perrodin's official not
ice to the public is published else
where in this issue Of the Star-Pro-
gress. He urgently requests prompt
action on the part of all delinquents
as the iron rule will be put into ef-
feet on the 10th of next month. As
much as the city authorities dislike
to put any one to disadvantage they
will be compelled to cut off the SER
vice to all delinquents.

F. c. Fox, well known and popular
employee of the Texas and Pacific
railroad, is having a nice little cottage
erected on the lot formerly occupied
by the once famous Band Auditorium
and expects to occupy it sometime
in the very near future, when he
takes unto himself as his wife one of
the most accomplished young ladies
of this city.
Contractors have been busy for the
past few weeks and the house already
begins to look like nearly completed
job. All lumber and material is being
furnished by the Skiles Lumber Co.
The Fox home, when completed,
will be one of the prettiest of the
smaller homes in this city. 1t will be

CITY MUST CLEAN
UP LATEST OFFICIAL
LATE HEALTH EDICT
Conference Of City Council, Board
of Sewerage Commissioners and
Health Board is Held
IMMEDIATE ROUND UP
OF All Those Violating Health Laws
and Regulations will be Made as
Officials are Determined

Opelousas must clean up. Citizens
must busy themselves without any
delay in cleaning up their premises
and they are warned that they just
as well make up their minds to keep
their places tidy, else the city board
of health will get behind them and ap-
ply the law.
A conference of the new city coun-
Gil, the board of sewerage commits
sioners and the board of health, was
held on last Tuesday night. The gen.
eral health of the community was the
principle topic of discussion and it
was finally decided that the city and
state laws must be obeyed.
DR.. B. A. Littell, president of the
board of health, will shortly issue or
ders to the general public for inn
mediate cleaning up of the city The
order must be obeyed or else some
one will be fined or imprisoned.
A prominent city official, whose
hobby is cleanliness told a represent
ative of the Star Progress that the
health authorities had been rather
lenient on the citizens of Opelousas
in the past, but the people must ap-
preciate the fact that many changes
have occurred throughout the United
States in recent years and even in
free St. Landry" the public has
come to know the strong arm Of the
law. The health authorities win not
close their eyes at the action of of
tenders but on the contrary are pre-
pairing to punish all those who do not
follow the city's latest edict.
0pelousas has always boasted Of
its health condition. Here recently
several cases of typhoid have been
discovered and it is pointed out that
the pravelence of countless thousands
of flies caused by stables in the prin-
ciple sections of the city have caused
the germ to spread in various port
ions of the city. It is hinted that prom
inent citizens will soon petition the
health authorities to take drastic
steps to remedy the unhealthy condi-
tion of the city brought about by
scores of public stables in several Sc
tions of opelousas.

GO SLOWLY IN BUYING
FLOCK OF SHEEP

Don't initiate sheep when buying
them, or else later you may feel sheep
ish, suggests G. w. Williams, of the
Extension Division, Louisiana State
University. He says also that it is
a poor policy to buy sheep just be-
cause they're cheap, and warns that
"The beginner who buys sheep with
out making full investigation often
finds too late that somebody has un-
loaded on him an apparently cheap
but really a diseased and worthless
lot of animals.
Before investing money in flock
or heard of stock the beginner should
get all the counsel he can so as to
be sure he is starting in the safest
possible way" he advises.

College Boys To
Stage Pageant
Beautiful Story of New Made Saint
to be Told in Interesting Way
by ST. Charles Students

Sunday evening next at Z o'clock,
the students of St. Charles College
Grand Coteau, will present an histor-
ical pageant in honor of the canoni-
zation of Blessed Joan of Arc. After
more than five hundred years the
Catholic Church will raise to the high
est honor of her altar the wonderful
warrior maiden of France. Sunday is
the day fixed by Pope Benedict for
this gorgeous ceremony at Rome,
In memory of this great day, the
students of st. Charles College, under
the direction of Rev. Charles Quirk,
IS. j. will stage pageant which will
portray in tableaux the three main
phases of Joan's career Her humble
life on the hillside of the Meuse,
when she tended her fathers sheep;
when the warrior saint of heaven, st.
Michael, in company with Saints Mar
garet and Catherine appeared to her
and spoke of. the divine mission she
was to undertake; when for the first
time she heard voices events
will be narrated by S. P. Mistrot.
The second episode of the saints
later career will be told by Randolph
Briant. The audience will hear how
in obedience to her Voices" Joan
bids farewell to her parents, her home
her playmates, the sheep and the
meadows of Domremy and betakes
herself to Sir Robert Beaudricourt at
Vaucouleurs by whose orders she is
equipped with soldiers suit of armor
and charger to ride on. From thence
she will ride to the chateau of Chinon
on the Loire where the lazy, unmar-
tial Charles will first of all doubt her
mission, then test it, and in the end
obey the entreaties of Joan to go to
RHEIMS to be crowned King of France
The audience will learn of the amaz-
ing military exploits of this unmilit-
ary girl. They will finally hear of the
black treachery that sold her to the
English, her foes and the foes of
France. Finally they will see her tried
by the Inquisitors for a witch and
unjustly condemned to be burnt at the
stake in Rouen.
The third episode viii be narrated
by H. Tibkier. His story will tell of
the vindication of the Blessed Maid
from the charge of witchcraft. We
will learn of the process ordered by
the Holy See, wherein the shameful
injustice done to her by the Inquisi-
tors is exposed and the Church's ap-
probation given to the divine mission
which she was chosen to undertake,
and the heroic sanctity of Joan. This
third narration will terminate with an
account of the process of canoniza-
tion which will take place in Rome on
Sunday, next.
LESLEY Gardiner will be the last
speaker. He will recite poem which
sets forth the past and the present
desires of Blessed Joan. 1t was her
wish in life to raise France to the
high rank which was her due among
the nations of the earth. 1t was her
wish since death to confer greater
glory upon her country by her canon
ization, and to save it from infidelity
as she saved it from earthly enemies
when she defeated the English on
many battlefields.
All lovers of this most loveable
girl are invited to be present at the
pageant on next Sunday evening at
st. Charles College.

FOR FUTURE WELFARE
OF COUNTY ACADEMY
DIR. Baldwin Reviews Brief His
tory Of Educational Insti-
tuition At Millersville
TRIALS AND DARK DAYS

Interest i'm the welfare and future
Of Millersville Academy was at whits
heat on last Thursday when Dr.
Charles w Baldwin the veteran spon-
sor of the school read brief history
Of the institution to a large group OF
those who have been directly assoc
ciated with the school.
DR.. Baldwin told of the trials and
dark DAYS of the benefits of such an
institution as evidenced by the char
acter of the prodNct and incidentally
shared by the whole community.
He also spoke in the highest terms
of the present principal. Miss Gwlnn-
II is due TO her self-sacriicing spirit,
broad vision and economical manage
ment that the school has been able
to maintain its standards in these ex-
pensive times.
r. Thomas Williams also spoke OF
the benefit derived from having such
school in the community and of his
desire to see the school continued.
Pref. Fox Speaks
Mr.. Fox, superintendent of schools,
spoke OF the valne the public puts on
education. The public feels that 49,
000, 900 is too little for bridge over
| the. Severn River, while 10000 or
one-sixth that amount is an extrava-
CANT sum TO spend on new schools.
One of the battleships that brought
! the cadets back is worth S17,OOO,OOO.
enough money TO rebuild all the
schools in the State. Our country owns
many such battleships. yet no one
l.feels that the expenditure is extra
gagance The value a community
| puts on education is evidenced by the
mount the public is willing to spend
| On schools One mile of State road
worth $4,000 today. State roads
reach nearly every community in
| Maryland, and we are all proud OF
our road system. About one mile OF
State road will build all the schools
along the State road from Baltimore
! to Frederick a distance of 80 miles.
Are the people of Maryland more

than they are In the education OF the
future generation? More than likely
The women of Anne Arundel county

they be drawn into the whirl of par

feat the school improvement loan?
This question will be answered al
the fall election when our citizens
will go on record on this important
issue. After several other shor
