Attention Due
Juvenile Criminals,

Considerable depredations, lar.
cenies, and even burglaries, on
the part of minors in this town,
deserved drastic measures. If the
parents of these boys will not or
can not control them, steps
should be taken by the town or
parish to place the culprits where
they will cease to be a menace
and a danger to the community.
1t has been reported to us, that
there is a gang OF youngsters in
this town, who have regular
tools, jimmies, lanterns, and even
chloroform; that they brag
about what they have accomplish
ed, and what they expect to do,
having had a train
hold up scheduled, feel
ing secure trat they are i'm
mune under the law. We under
stand these boys are Known, and
being known. there is no reason
why the community should be
further terrorized by them. They
are either sane or insane. In eth
er case provision should be made
to remove them. where they will
not be hazard and a menace, to
say nothing of the deteriorating
influence they have OH cthers.

Rice Mil New
Industry Announced

Through the Association of
Commercve comes the glad It'd
ings that ThibodauX will have a
rice mill. The vast acreage of rice
in this parish, and in the imme-
diate neighborhood Of the town,
as well as in nearby parishes has
made the location of a rice mill
here worth while, and one will
accordingly be established. Mr..
Anger, who has been domiciled
here since the beginning of the
year, and who is interested in Sc
veral rice farms in the immediate
neighborhood, is at the head of
the enterprise. Two different
sites are at present under consi-
deration, one of which will be ac-
cepted, and used for the con-
struction of the mill. The machi-
merry has already been ordered
and will be installed in ample
time to care for the crop present
ly growing and to be harvested
in Augusta and September.

New Jury Fires

4 istration complexion, upset mat
ters and Office holding in that bo-
j dy this week. In it's eagerness to
place in office others than those
at present holding the same, it
POSSIBLY went a bit too fast. Some
of the officials have been elected
for stated periods, and no success
sor can be elected until that term
mas been completed. Some of the
elections are scheduled for Sep

it may, there was an upheaval,

pect other turns outs in Septem-

broached, but only by way of dis
cussion, attempt being threaten

ing the bridge committee, and in
ferences obtained that the bridge
would be leased for 1921. The
bridge however is the property of
the town and parish, and the
town has as much say so as the
parish. The committee is of equal
representation, and the town is
determined itshall be free, there
fore the deadlock promises to
continue.
The Federal Dipping Inspector,
Mr.. Valery ]. Leblanc, appeared
before the jury and informed
them that he could use two in
stead of five inspectors, whose
salaries are $75 per month each,
therefore, two will be used in the
future instead Of five, and each
will be allowed $50 extra for ex-
penses, or $3.50 for two instead
of $375 for five as heretofore, a

Casey Saved Game
For Locals.

Casey, God bless his Irish
heart, saved the day and the
game for Thibodaux at Napoleon
vile last Sunday, when for the
third time this season it looked
as if our boys were going to give
Napoleonville the game, after
having easily won it, for better
playing. The game started out
NICELY and Thibodaux played
nicely slugging Sutherlin all over
the lot, and piling runs, until it
made the home folks down'po-
leon way dizzy to see Thibodaux
with Ia against their 2. Then
something happened to Red
ding's knee, which incapacitated,
him, and Henry Gaude was call
ed to the mound. He did well,
striking out two batters in one
inning, but soon became ratified
went up in the air, lost control,
and Napoleonville edged up,
when Casey, bless his soul, came
to the rscue and saved the game
for Thibodaux and put us on the
safe side, the final story being
Thibodaux 9, Napoleonville 8. We
had thebetterteam, and it was
hard luck, which prOrni sed to
rob us of what was ours, but
which fortunately was stemmed
before it was too late. Casey did
some good work, so did Daniels,
and Aycock made himself a home
for the summer, by some won
derful, phenomenal, long and
acrobatic catches in left or CEN
ter field: he also WELD
ed the willow some,
and hit the hide for one home
run, almost overtaking the run
-ner he drove in from first base.
Such work should put us to the
good and with a pitcher, steady,
and fielding his position, Lutchsr
should be made to sit up and
take notice. If the last base ball

Association Elects
Officers Again.

The local Association of Com

evening, which demonstrated
that the efforts of the past twelve
months, the first year of the or
ganization, were not without
avail, that something had been
accomplished, and that efforts
would be redoubled to oudo in the
second year the splendid efforts
of the first year.
Secretory- Manager, DR.. H. S.
H. S. Smith in making a summa
ny of the doings of the organiza-
tion for the year showed that tive
labor employing industries had
been secured through the efforts
of the organization, a shingle and
lumber mill, and a rice mill, that
several other industries were in
prospect and that good work had
been done towards the Cancienne
Canal being made a part, o.
branch of the Interoastal Canal,
that the Chacahoula Road had
been advanced to the stage of
having the Highway Department
submit the plans for the building
thereof, and that the organiza-
tion would have committee to
appear before the police jury to
enlarge Road District 8, with a
view of including the town and
holding a special election to raise
the amount to build and gravel
the highway The publicity and ad
Vertising of the association was
also noted. The broom factory,
while not started by the asso
Q. citation, had been moterially
encouraged, had the cooperation
of the association, and was MAX
ing a wonderful success, dispos-
ing of the capacity of the plant.
Mr.. Charles A. Badeaax, Mr.. P.
L. Braud, Clerk of Court P. J. Au
1soin, Post Master Albert Bou-
