Who Can Locate Them?

The 1berian, of New Iberia, has been
making inquiries to what has become of
the Board of Trade of that place, and
the Lake Charles American is endeavoring
to lacate the Lake Charles Board of Trade,
suggesting that the two have eloped together.
Such being the case, it is possible that the
Board of Trade and Progressive League of
Donaldsonville may be in completely with
those of Lake Charles and New Iberia.
Neither has been heard from in a great
while, and probably will not be until an in
vestigating committe is sent out to unearth
them.-Donalsonville Times.
Come to think of it, Lafayette
has Business Mems Association
that has not been heard from for
some time. Perhaps it has joined
the New Iberia and Lake Charles
boards.

For Public Education.

In response to an appeal from
President Olivier and Acting Super
intendent Moss, Of the School
Board, the Police Jury has appro-
priated $500 to help pay the salary
of the new superintendent. The
Jury had already made a budget
apportionment Of $4,000 for public
education, but it strained point to
90 to the assistance Of the Board
with an additional contribution.
And this was done despite the many
demands which are continually be-
ing made on the treasury. The
Jury is to be commended for it's
enlightened policy in the matter of
promoting the cause of public edu-
cation.
