these undesirable birds will come
here, spend week or two inspecting

dissatisfied, they leave for parts I'M

Campaign for Soldiers
Memorial Monday, May 8

May 3-8 has been set apart by pro-
clamation of the governor as memo
rial week during which the state
wide campaign for 100000 for the.
soldiers memorial building will be
conducted. The building will be cree
ted on the Louisiana State University
campus as a memorial to all Louisi-
ana men who died in the service dur
ing the war and as a tribute to those
who served and lived. The commit
tee is requesting that on May 2 all
churches in the state hold some form
of memorial service for Louisiana's
fallen heroes, and that the ministers
urge the people to contribute as gem
erously as possible to this memorial
fund.
Headquarters of the soldiers me-
mortal campaign in Baton Rouge re-
port that the organization work for
the campaign is fast being completed.
Practically all of the parish chairmen
have been named and are, actively
working in the organization of their
local forces.
Quotas Of the 100000 fund have
been assigned to the various parish
es and the chairmen are all making
plans to go over the top in each par
ish. In several parishes the quotas
have already been guaranteed.
| State Chairman John NJ. Parker
and the state committee of twenty
five prominent men are actively work
ing for the success of the campaign.
The fact that the memorial is being
provided for all of Louisiana's sol
der dead makes the movement one of
personal interest to every citizen of
the state, and the announcement that
the fund is to be used in the erection
of a building combining distinctive
memorial features with useful edu-
cational building has met with hearty
approval all over the state. Letters
of endorsement and encouragement
are daily pouring into headquarters
not only from Louisianaians but from
prominent men in other sections of
the country.

Mr.. Eastman has made splendid
president Of the Chamber during his
year tenure of office and strove hard
to boost Opelousas and make the or
ganization a success. At the first
meeting of the board, at which infor-
NAL discussions were held, Mr.. East
ham was highly complimented by the
members for his untiring efforts in
behalf of the chamber, and he was
urged to accept the presidency for
another year. Mr.. Eastman, however,
believes that a new president could
accomplish much in the way of reviv-
ing interest in the organization, and
as Mr.. Deblieux is in touch with the
big business interests Of the state he
would make an ideal president, backed
up by the entire membership.
