were in evidence in many places of
bEsiness-in some of the most re-
spectacle business houses in the city.
Their popularity was increasing to
such an extent as to incur the dis
pleasure Of the city administration,
and as st. Landry apparently swung
into the reform column in the recent
election, the municipal authorities
probably thought that the time was
ripe to inaugurate this reform in the
capital city of st. Landry.
Many cities in Louisiana have bar
red the slot machines and punch
boards-in many of them merely the
law is against their usage and as so
many laws adopted on the spur of
the moment are never enforced, the
punch boards and slot machines con-
tinue to live and thrive. The local
administration, however, according
to Mayor Mike Halphen, will enforce
the mandate of the city fathers, and
on next Monday, if any of the vari-
GUS gambling devices enumerated in
the ordinance are still in use, the
proprietors will be prosecuted.

FAIR MEETING
NEXT TUESDAY
Organization of Parish Associ-

Week Vixen Farmers Meet

A meeting of much interest will
be that of the proposed st. Landry
Parish Fair Association, which will
take place in the police jury room,
on next Tuesday afternoon, at 2
o'clock.
A. A. Mendoza, who has been Sc
lected as secretary of the organiza-
ton, has sent out a number of no
tices to farmers and business men of
the surrounding country, extending
an invitation to everybody interested
in the move to attend the meeting,
Everybody is asked to be present, as
it is only through the cooperation of
the country people and the citizens
Of Opelousas, Eunice and Washing
ton that project, such as the pro-
posed fair for 1920, can succeed.
R. Lee Mills, head of the st. Ian
dry Farmers Union, and an enthusi-
astic parish fair adherent, has been
chosen the president of the proposed
association. With Mr.. Mendoza as
his chief assistant, and having influ-
entail business men and farmers as
sociated with him, Mr.. Mills should
make the 1920 St. Landry fair the
most successful in the state.
It is hoped that large number
will attend Tuesdays meeting, as it
is necessary that the people of ST.
Landry be united on this very impor-
tant project.

In Two Weeks Court House
Square Will be Graced by
Two Beautiful Shafts

After considerable delays, the two
monuments dedicated to the memory
of the st. Landry soldiers Of the war
of 1917 and the war of 1861, arrived
on Monday morning and Albert Webb
len, president of the Albert Weiblen
Marble and Granite Company of New
Orleans, who is on the scene, lost no
time in beginning the erection of the
two monuments on the bases long ago
prepared for their reception. His
job will be completed in two weeks,
he told representative Of the Star
Progress.
The Confederate monument will
grace the northeast corner of the
court house square, while the World
War Veterans monument viii stand
on the southeast corner, and both
facing Court street.
The Confederate monument was
planned several years ago by the
worthy members of the local chapter
of the United Daughters of the Con.
federacy, and after many appeals for
funds to public bodies and patriotic
individuals and citizens, sufficient
money was at last realized during the
last year to assure the erection of a
monument to the memory Of the st.
Landry heroes who fought and bled
for the Lost Cause from 81 to '65.
To Hon. E. NJ. Boagni, chairman of
the famous and efficient st. Landry
Council of Defense during the late
World War, is due the major portion
Of the credit for the beautiful shaft
erected in memory Of the St. Landry
soldiers who participated in the re-
cent World War with the Central
Empires of Europe. He headed the
movement that secured sufficient
funds to justify the erection of one
of the prettiest granite shafts in this
section of the state. While his task
was not an easy one, Mr.. Boagni wal
successful in obtaining the funds ne.

ord-breaking time.

DISTRICT VOTES FOR
BETTER DRAINAGE
UNANIMOUSLY
Without a Dissenting Vote, the
Bellevue District Favorable
to Big Bond Issue
DREDGING TO START
ABOUT FIRST OF MAY
Commissioners Decide to Push
Work in Draining Fertile
Section South of Here

There is no doubt that st. Landry
has realized the advantages of drain
age, if the many bond issues voted in
the last year are taken into consid-
Grafton. The Bellevue and Coulee
Croche District, comprising a port
ton Of the first and second wards, is
the latest to come to the front with
bond issue sufficiently large to as
sure the dredging Of the important
streams and laterals of this district.
On Wednesday the taxpayers Of
the district, by unanimous consent,
voted the bond issue. Already the
commissioners have gotten busy with
view of pushing the good work
along. Bids are being advertised for
and the contract for the dredging
of many miles of stream will be let
out within the next few weeks. The
bonds will be sold without delay, and
by the first OF May dredge boats viii
be on the scene and the lands Of the
district, considered among the most
fertile in Louisiana, viii be relieved
of all surplus water.
| Fifty-two votes were cast in last
Wednesdays elet ton, representing
more than $4,000 Of assessed val
uation. There was not a semblance
Of vote against this progressive
measure.
J. Franklin Schell, who has headed
every drainage movement in st. Lam
dry, and who is now being called up-
on by taxpayers of st. Martin and
Acadia parishes for assistance, Is
given the major portion Of the cred
it for the wonderful victory achieved
by the progressive citizens Of the
Bellevue and Coulee Croche Drain
age District. Mr.. Schell worked in-
cessantly on the project until the pro-
mitigation of the results Of the cleo
ton was made.
| The district comprises some sixteen
| Thousand acres Of lands. With good
drainage this land viii probably be
1.-The most valuable in the parish, and
with this knowledge the taxpayers ct
the district lost no time in boosting
the bond issue to such an extent as
to get a unanimous verdict on pro-
ject whichy few years ago, was
thought hopeless.
The bonds vsiu be sold, it is under
stood, within the next thirty days. All
legal objections win be eliminated in
sixty days, and as there viii be nd
contest, the money for the bonds
should be received by. April Is, thus
giving the commissioners ample funds
for the operation Of the work BY the
first of May.

PARISH TO SEND TWO
BOYS ON TRIP In
NORTHERN STATES
Police Jury Appropriates $500
to Defray All Expenses of
Worthy Young Men
JURORS TO SUBMIT THE
NAMES AT NEXT MEET
Each Member to Give in Five
Names to be Placed in Hat.
Two Drawn to Win Trip

By a vote of II to 2, the police
jury last Tuesday morning voted to
send two st. Landry boys on the ag-
ricultural tour of Iowa, Illinois and
Wisconsin, as proposed by Hon. T. H.
Harris, state superintendent of pub
lie education. The amount appropri-
ated was three hundred dollars, which
is thought to be sufficient to defray
the expenses of two worthy country
boys on the educational trip through
the leading agricultural and dairy
states of the Union.
Supt. W. B. Prescott and A. A.
Mendoza, local federal agricultural
agent, appeared before the police
jury and asked for the appropriation,
stating that they were anxious that
st. Landry should send the largest
delegation on the Louisiana Special,
which will leave New Orleans the
middle of August. 1t is proposed that
at least ten or twelve boys from this
parish should take. this trip, which
will be of vast benefit to the young
men who will go.
Messrs. Prescott and Mendoza have
been meeting with much success and
encouragement in their efforts to
have st. Landry well represented on
the northern tour. The banks and
business men of the parish have been
contributing literally and it is said
that st. Landry will send strong
delegation on the agricultural special
this coming summer.
