Lafayette Chamber of Commerce,less than six months in active opera-tion, has pmade good, has become aninstitution respected by every citizen.Many of the members are alreadygetting benefits exceeding the amountof their annual dues. Are you get- 1ting your share? If you are a re-ceiver or shipper of freight or ex-press you should be.

K. C. INITIATE38 CANDIDATES

Impressive Ceremonies at Churchand at Home-Dance and Lunch-

eon Tendered Guests.

Sunday was a grand occasion forthe Knights of Columbus, when 38candidates were initiated into the or-der by the Opelousas-Vicksburg team.Some three hundred Knights werepresent, strong delegations coming infrom all surrounding towns. Thevisitors were met by the local Knightsat the depot, where a procession wasformed and proceeded to the Homewhere the loca candidates were takeninto rank. The procession then con-tinued to St. John's Catholic churchwhere solemn High Mass was cele-brated. Rev Twellmeyer preachinga most eloquent and instructive sersmon on the order of Knights of Co-lumbus, emphasizing Christian Edu-cation, Christian Charity and Chris-tian Conduct as principles for the or-der. The choir led by pastor Rev.Teurlings rendered Millard's Massmost effectively and the following par-ticipated: Misses Laurence and AliceCampbell, Miss Agnes Roy, Miss Pau-line Calllouet and Mrs. F. V. Moutonsoloists; Pierre Gerac, P. J. Voorhiestenor soloists and F. V. Mouton basesolo.

In the afternoon the exemplicationof the three degrees of Knighthoodtook place at the Home and nearlyforty candidates were initiated. Lat-er during the evening the ladies serv-ed luncheon on the High School squareto the Knights and their visitors.Meantime the young folks enjoyedthemselves at a dance in the Hometo the excellent music of the Lafay-ette Concert Band. The day wasglorious and everyone enjoyed the oc-casion to the fullest extent

R. C. Greig to assist us in securingnews, advertising, job work and sub-scriptions, and we will greatly ap-preciate any favors shown hiuh orbu iness entrusted to him for us.

the Chamber of Commerce has made..s aving of over $400 a year and!comes now prepared for submissioletaothe railroad commission, it won,will save this community $10,000 perannum. Some record for an insti-tution not yet out of swaddlingclothes. Nor is this all.

The farmers have been induced toplant 125 acres of Irish potatoes thisyear where only a nominal amountwas planted last year or any yearprevious. For the estimated yield of8,000 bushels a minimum price of $1has been guaranteed on truck here.The acreage of sweet potatoes hasbeen quadrupled over that of pre-ceeding years. Altogether nearly$50,000 will be brought into the par-ish from these hitherto unprofitablecrops.

But if the record of accomplish-ment seems full, what of the future?Almost certain is the establishmentof a boat line between Lafayette andNew Orleans, through which freightcharges wiJl be still farther reduced.Many farmers who were dilatbrythis year have given assarance oftheir membership in the growers' andmarketing clubs next year.

Much publicity has ben obtainedfor the community through the act-tivity of the membership and pros-spectors looking for homes re com-mende ng to come in to look ovar thecountry.

But beyond all this in importanseIs the spirit of co-operation and har-monious work tpr community devel-otument which has taken hold of allclasses of our citizenry. Hopeful-ness and consideration for the be-liefs and undertakings of others hasto a large degree supplanted the lit-tle factionalisms of other days and"knockers' have become so scarcethat a noted resolution for their do-portation introduced by that livestof wires, John parry, the night of

ianza t la3 June, has been al-most "forgotten.

I WOMAN versus THE COW.r It is related that many years ago in a pioneer town out

West there was a debate in the school house- on this remark-able subject:s

"Resolved, That for a man on a backwoods farm a cowis of greater value than a woman."The debate ran along about even until the affirmativespeaker made this remarkable argument. He claimed that"value" meant money and nothing else, and that, if the cropsfailed and the man could not pay interest, he could sellthe cow, while the woman would be an additional expense.This won the debate for the cow! The judge made his decisionalmost as follows: "My sympathy is with the wimmin, but themoney goes on the cow, for, as we all know, sympathy don'tpay any mortgages or buy groceries."A woman with her face shining with righteous indignationjumped up in the audience and told how she had, with her ownhands supported a lazy husband and fed a cow and five chil-dren, but the judge decided that her argument did not count, asshe was not one of the selected debaters!

Money certainly goes much further than "sympa-thy" in all the& ordinary dealings of this world, andwomen in general will find it of advantage in manyways to have bank accounts of their own.

This good bank appreciates the business and pat-ronage of women.
