$4,000 ACRES OF Land
In Iberia Parish that do
Appear upon the AS
SeSSment Rolls.

But few of the property taXpay
crs of this section have any idea
how much land there is in the
state that should be upon The as
sessmcnt rolls, ard yet does not
appear there, says Mr.. En k
Vuillemot. of the State Auditors
Office at Baton Rouge In an H.
teryiew this week he said further
that Iberla parish furnished no
exception to ;he rule; that in this
parish, as IN many others, there
was a vast deal Of land that should
be annually assessed. yet It is not.
The want of an accurate and
thorough system of locating and
bounding these tracts IS doubtless
responsible for the omissions
In his calculation he allO US 1900
acres for the corporation of New
Iberia, 80 acres for Jeancrettr.
and $50 acres for the town Of
LoreauviIle With the sum of
the above acres added to The to-
tails given upon the assessment
rolls the result falls short of the
acreage OF the parish, in round
figures, some $4,000 acres
He is of the opinion that an as
SCISSOR could take hold Of llisprOpo-
sition in a systematic way, look
up these lands, and by properly
assessing them, he would material
ly increase the revenues Of the
parish. and with out increasing
the assessment Of any properly
that now appears upon the rolls.
We presume that Mr.. Vuille
mot's statements are based upon
incontrOvertable facts. This be
ing the case the assessor should
be put in a position to place these
lands upon the rolls. The state
would be entitled TO three years
back taxes If the holders did
not care to meet this obligation,
then these lands should revert to
the state.
In all probability much Of this
unassessed land is embraced in
marsh areas, though there IS a
possibility that some valuable
surface has escaped. Even if this
suppositiOn is a correct view of
the case, there is a great deal of
reclamation work now going on.
bringing lands heretofore practi-
cally worthless into serviceable
condition. These at least should
be carefully looked after and the
$4,000 acres unaccOunted for
should and we presume vii! be
materially reduced before the
close of 1907.
AS we understand him Mr.
NuillemOt does not make these
statements as as attack upon the
assessor of this or any of the par
ishes, but cites the facts to indi
cate the necessity Of Improvement
in the systems now employed.
The new system should involve
the placing of every mans land
upon a map properly colored to
the extent that it is assessed
This would indicate to the eye at
glance just what lands are not
assessed.

"WHAT SEEK YEP"
The Putting Of God First Would Rev
olutionize Things in the World
and Make All Prosperous.

Seek We first the kingdom of God
and His righteousr ess, and all these
things shall be added unto you."
What message is embodied in this
brief sentence! We should accept such
plain words in full as message to
us Of to-day, realizing that they are
the words OF Christ Himself They are
a command, a positive statement, with
a, rich reward attached. How shall
we attain the full measure of this
blessing?
Jesus says: Seek We first the king
dom of God" How shall we seek
for anything until we consider for
what we are to look? The Apostle Paul
saith: ''The kingdom of God is not
meat and drink, but righteousness and
peace and joy in the Holy Spirit" and
Jesus said: "The kingdom of God is
within you." We have not fur to go
to seek for such things. "Hls right
eousness" we shall scarce find on
earth, yet it is said: "Seek and We
shall find" We cannot miss the way
If we only trust God in love ard faith.
Jesus also said: Cali these things
shall be added unto you" What are
"all these things" save Joy and peace
In the knowledge Of spiritual truths,
with every material need supplied.
We have Gods word. The psalmist
assures as that "he that trusteth in the
Lord shall not want any good thing. -
Suppose that all the people in any
community should "seek the kingdom
of God and His Righteousness. and
thereby advance in spiritual thought
and life, what would become of alt
bad tastes and appetites? The crav-
ing for liquor, for example, would dis
appear. All things would be made
new." Happiness would increase. II.
all sought first the kingdom of God,
many little money banks that now in
silence beg for missions would fill
up. and with richer coin. and the
collection plates at churcn would!
overflow. Prosperity would be shared
by all.
This, says E. Howard Leggett, I'm,
New York Observer. is Just a little,
picture of what would result If the.
knowledge of the truths of God pre-
vailed in every heart, bringing into
life Gods word where it belongs, and,
send it forth in messages of love
'"Call upon Me, and will answer thee.
and show thee great and mighty things
which thou knowest not" saith the.
Lord. believing We shall receive"

Love and Action,

God is at work. This explains many
benef1cent influences in the world.
though their origin is untraced or uIr
known. They originate in the love of
some heart. This explains, too. why
the world is not more rapidly changed
and more swiftly made better. There
is not love enough in enough hearts.
If there is no action OF love there is
no sentiment Of love. Descartes said
of attainment, that to conceive quite
clearly is necessarily to- attain, so to
love truly is necessarily to act..-Chrts-

In Good Housekeeping a writer tells
in rhyme how soul lost this joy:
"She wore her duty as crown,
And in her passing up and down
One came who laughed to see her wear
Such trifle with so grand an air.
"She took it off. One cannot be
A laughing-stock for such as he
Behold. her feet, once swift to go,

At that which binds her limbs, in pain.
