Mr.. Thomas Thibodeaux of near
Lewisburg was in Opelousas Monday
and stated to newspaper man that
the cyclone which recently struck
his property caused loss of fully
two thousand dollars.
The barn and syrup mill were de
stroyed, as well as fences surround
ing the barn lot. Several animals
were killed and forty odd gallons o.
syrup were carried away by the

automobile also went to the bad un

twister. Fortunately his magnificent
residence escaped injury, as the cy
clone skipped the building, though j
was close to the barn.

OPTIONAL WITH
PARISH VOTERS
FORM OF LOCAL GoVERNME ENT
LEFT TO PEoPLE-PoLIcE
JURY OR COMMISSION

Voters of the several parishes Of
the state will have the privilege Of
selecting their own form of govern.
ment from two systems, police jury
or commission. This has practically
been agreed on by the convention
and will no doubt be written in the
new constitution.
Where the police jury system is
retained the number of members Of
the body are limited to five in par
ishes of less than thirty-five thousand
population and seven members in
parishes where the population is in
excess OF that number. This means
that if st. Landry retains the police
jury system the jury elected at the
next state eelction will be composed
of seven as the population of the
parish is in excess of fifty thousand
according to the last census returns
Considerable objection has been
made to the police jury system, based
mainly on the bulky size of the aver
age parish body. In the instance OF
st. Landry there are sixteen mem
bers, apportioned to the six wards
according to the population. 1t has
long been thought that if the body
had a smaller membership it would
work much better. Hence, Il
the parish retains the police jury sys
tenn the proponents of the smallel
membership idea will have the op
portunity of seeing it put into prac
tice. Some citizens favor the abol
ishment of the system altogether an'
the adoption of the commission form
as being more conducive to bette
government. This theory is combat
ted with the charge that the commits
sion form means the Capitalization 0
power and a tendency towards al
autocratic form.

SCHOOL KIDS HAVE
GREAT TIMES NOW
ADDITIONAL EQUIPMENT TO
PLAY-GRoUNDs FURNISHES Ex-
ERclsE AND MUCH FUN

The small army Of kids attending
the Opelousas high school are having
the time of their lives these spring
days and parents never experience
the least difficulty in getting John
ME" or MARY to be prompt in reach
ing the school. In fact, everyone OF
them are eager to get there before
they get up" in the morning.
The attraction is the new equip
ment recently added to the play
grounds. There is an ocean wave"
outfit, a hand-swinging merry-go-
round, a giant ladder and shoot-the-
shoot and it is difficult to tell which
apparatus is the favortte form
of amusement with the numer-
Gus pupils. Speaking about
physical exercise being dev-
eloper for the mental faculties, the
apparatus added to the school grounds
is certain to prove winner in that
respect, and it is doubtful If any
bunch of school kids in the country
ever enjoyed themselves more than
the ones at the Opelousas school. The
shoot-the-shoot attracts a large crowd
all the time and the youngsters come
sliding down the slick incline in an
unending stream. The teachers ari

either over-do things or get injured

daughter, Miss Nathalie, couple Of
years ago or less. The money could
