The Importance of the
Boys and Girls Clubs

The most important organizations
in the country are the boys and girls
clubs The hope and advancement of
agriculture lies in their hands and be-
yond this they are to become the most
important factor in guiding the desti-
MES of our nation. The object of
these boys and girls clubs is to de-
velop efficient men and women to in
terest them in the work of the farm
and home and the industries upon
which the nation depends.
1t seems at times that too much en-
phasis is placed upon the growing of
the pig or calf or the canning of fruit
and the like, but the boy. who can
grow good calf or a pig, and a girl
who can can a good jar of fruit have
received training that is greater than
simply the knowledge necessary to do
these things. A boy can not develop
a prize winning calf without develop
ing himself. If he is the right kind
of boy he vii have larger interest
when he is man than simply being
able to raise a good calf. He will de
sire the best planned farmstead; the
best equipped farm buildings; his
field will be well cultivated; and his
soil will be well nourished. He will
have an interest in securing the best
Schools in his community, and will
take an active part in public affairs.
The girl will become a home builder
and with broader and deeper SYM
.pathy for the things that are worth
while. Her household affairs will be
well managed and she will also have
time and a desire to help improve the

AN APPEAL TO CIVIC PRIDE

Now is the season of the year when
Opelousas looks at its best. Our trees
are the pride of our people and our
flowers are now in bloom and nature
has done its best to keep up the repu-
tation of our city as one of the pref
tiest in the state. Many of our peo-
pie have taken much interest in beau
tifying their premises and the appear
ance of many homes has been inn
proved considerably. There yet re-
mains, however, much to be done in
this line, and we appeal to all our
property owners to do their part in
the upkeep of their premises. A very
little work or expense will go far to-
wards putting things in good order
and even the removal of a trash pile
or the cutting of few weeds will
add muck to the appearance of the
city. We feel sure that it is only nee
essary to remind those who have not
yet done their part to this efefct in
crder to secure their cooperation in
the matter of improving thc general
appearance of the city.

BIG LAWSUIT
Local Attorney Notified That
Railroad Company Will
"Come Across

John w. Lewis, Opelousas attorney
Mrs. Bessie Lewis Saw
ant, in damage suit against the Tex
as and Pacific railway, was notified
during the week that the railroad COM
pany would settle the claim awarded
the plaintiff, Mrs. Savant, which, to-
gether with judicial interest, il IS
said, will amount. 20 about nineteen
thousand dollars or little more.
The husband Of the plaintiff was
killed by train of the Texas and Pa
cific railway some three or four years
ago. Damage suit was entered by
Mrs. Savant and the lower court
awarded her damages in the sum of
about sixteen thousand dollars. The
various courts through which it was
taken affirmed practically the judg-
ment of the court below and after
to take the case on APP
peal to the supreme court of the Unit
ed States, the railway company decid-
ed it more prudent and perhaps cheap
er to settle the claim in full rather
than stand any additional costs it
would have to face if it lost out in
the tribunal of final resort.
This is one of the biggest damage
cases ever won by an Opelousas at
torney, it is said.

FROM THE NORMAL
Collegians Clean Up Natchi-

Contested Ball Games
Special Correspondence.

Special Correspondence.
Grand Coteau, La, April 22.-Last
week the ST. Charles college team
struck stride in keeping with its
past baseball records when it defeat
ed the Louisiana State normal team
in two games played on the college
campus at Grand Coteau. The score
was to 2 and Z to A, respectively.
According to the dope" gathered
from the game that had already been
played among the teams of the Lou
isiana intercollegiate athletic asso-
citation, St. Charles was due to get two
whippings from the normal aggrega-
ton. But Gonzales and Hebert, the
RED and Green" twirlers, together
with their smuggling hackers, sprung
double surprise on the visitors and
sent them back to normal with diff
ferent opinion Of the Grand Coteau
college boys.
Gonzalez showed remarkable cool
ness and skill in twirling himself out
of some very tight holes that the nor
NAL hitters had gotten him into; but
he invariably showed that he had ''the
stuff" and held the visitors to three
hits. His own hackers bingled eight
good ones off of the normal mound
keeper The best hitting of the entire
two teams was done by Johnson of
the st. Charles nine who got five hits
out of nine times at the bat. Smith
on third showed remarkable form and
did much to keep normal bag trav-
elers from getting back to home and
scoring tally against the St. Charles
team. BrOussard, behind the key po-
sition, dropped perfect pegs into the
hands of the short-stOp, thus retiring
several players who tried to steal to
the half -way bag. Turpin, Freeman
and Norris of normal proved to be the
most consistent hitters of their team.

AN OCTOCENARIAN
PASSES BEYOND
Grandpa" Evans Dies in New
Orleans at the Ripe Age
of Over IS Years

News reached Opelousas yesterday
friday morning that Mr.. William
Evans, Familiarity known as Grand
pa" Evans, had died in New Orleans
the same morning at 10 o'clock a. m.
This news comes as a shock to Mr..
Evans family, descendants and nu-
merous friends in this and adjoining
parishes where he was well known to
a large circle Of acfuaintances
At the time Of his death the deceas-
ed was 80 years and 8 months of age,
his aged wife having preceded him to
the grave by only few months, she
having expired at the family home in
Alexandria last August, the 10Th.
Mr.. Evans was Of robust constitu-
ton and though he had long reached
and passed the biblical three score
and ten, he bid fair to attain the cen
fury mark, but Fate decreed other
wise, and recently some ailment at
tackled one of his feet and it became
necessary to undergo Surgical oper-
alton. Going to hospital in New
Orleans for that purpose, the limb was
amputated last Tuesday and apar-
entity he stood the shock splendidly,
but the Grim Reaper decided other
wise and Grandpa" closed his eyes
in the final sleep at the time noted.
At this time the. arrangements for
the funeral have not been made, but
due announcement of the same will be
made some time today Saturday
Interment will be made in the Pro-
testan cemetery in Opelousas, by the
side of his wife.
Deceased and his late wife were
natives of Kentucky, having married
in that state at an early age and later
migrated to Louisiana. They were
the parents of large family of chill
dren, most of whom survive. There
is also large number of grandchil-
dren and great-grandchildren left to
mourn the passing of grandpa.
4 Among the children are Mrs. P. I,
Blacksher of near Opelousas; j. Sam
Evans, formerly of near this city and
now of Basile; and others who reside
in Alexandria and points in this and
adjoining parishes.
To these relatives the Star-Progress
along with the many friends of the
deceased, extend their heartfelt sym.
pathies.

If these boys and girls clubs do not
mean more than simply rearing a
prize animal or canning a jar of fruit
they are failing in their purpose. But
they are more than this. Through
their efforts will be taught that true
success is not the accumulation of a
large fortune, but rather rendering a
useful service, contributing to the adj
vancement of others, working to make
the world better place in which to
