ycnient and we do not blame them for
growing little, but it will result in no
good.

nearer 80 per cent.
We see no reason why some of our peo-
pie send to New Iberia and elsewhere for
lumber when the saw mill is working
here and can give as good lumber and as
at low price as they can get itat any
other place. Always give apreference to
home industries if you want your lOca-
lity to prosper.
