TION.

As Der call a number of gentle
men interested in forming Par
ish Good Roads Association to
work in conjunction with the new
Police Jury of iberia Parish met
in mass meeting at the City Hall
last Wednesday evening to ac~
cept the charter Of the new as
sociation as formulated by the
committee in whose hands the i'm
portant work was placed. Des-
pite the very inclement weather
the attendance was very good,
but few of the residents OF the
country were in attendance owing
TO the inclement weather. The
charter was accepted which show
ed the following gentlemen were
chosen to serve for the ensuing
two years as follows. Messrs.
P. A. Landry, president; Chas. c.
Henshaw, vice-president; John H.
Tavlor, treasurer. Executive

there is little excuse for any cltl-
zen to withhold his name from the
membership and Mr.. Silvio Brous-
sard is adding many names 10 the
Association. The charter Will ap-
near in our next issue. lndlca-
tions point to a strong prganlza-
Ition and there is no doubt that
much good will be accomplished
in the betterment Of the public
roads of Iberia Parish. The cash
value of good roads las been
summarized unuer the following
headings: First-A reduction in
1.-THE cost of hauling. Second-An
increase in the value OF lands
IThird-Increase' in productive
value through making uncultlvat-
led lands accessible. Fourth
The substitution Of the more prot
liable crops for the less profitabls
crops Fifth-The ability of the
producer to market his produce
at a time when the prices are
more favorable instead OF mar
keting his produce when the
roads permit.
| Good roads are the most essen
tial improvements that the Far
ash is in need Of and once our
people learn how easy these things
can be obtained and how easily
maintained, when gone at IN a
business manner then every pub
Ilic road in the Parish will be a
Icredit to the people.

THE FRISCO DEMONSTRA-
TION TRAIN.

Promptly at 2:30 O'Clock on
Tuesday, the Frisco Demontra-
ton Train pulled into New Iberia
and stopped at their station, foot
of Jefferson street as scheduled.
As the train with it's experts en-
tered the City limits they were in
a deluge of rain, but notwith-
standing that fact all during the
afternoon the citizens interested
in good roads were inspecting the
exhibits prepared by the Federal
Department of Agriculture in the
handsome coaches Of that great
railroad system.
A short while later hundreds OF
citizens congregated at the Elks
Theatre, the use of which was
rendered free by Manager Scharff
to enable the people TO hear the
able lectures by the experts on
road building and the benefits ac-
crued from good roads. The meet
ing was opened by Mr.. VIM. Do
herty. assistant general manager
of the Gulf Lines of the Frisco,
explaining the objects and mo-
tives of the railroad in transport
ing a demonstration train Of that
kind over its lines.
He was followed by Mr.. H. j.
Fairbanks Of the American Asso-
eiaton of Highway Improvement
with . brilliant and interesting
address, explaining in detail how
public highways should be con-
structed.
The audience enjoyed every |
word of his address and much
valuation information was
cleaned from his remarks.
The stel eopticon exhibition and
lecture by Mr.. Fl. C.
Wells, superintendent of construc-
lion Of the public road bureau of
The Department Of Agriculture of
Washington pleased the large
audience immensely and as a
whole the Demonstration Train
With its able experts and lectur-
10 have done great good to this
ection Of the State and a more
time for their visit to-
Jew Iberia could not have been
elected; more especially since
be launching Of the Good Roads
1ssociation for the Parish. The
risco officials deserve the thanks
the community and of the
Eate of Louisiana for their pro-
rcssive and philanthrophic work
this direction. s.l

DO YOU ENJOY Ek1lRG'
Or Does Everything You Eat
Distress You?

Experts declare that the reason
stomach disorders are so common in
this country is due to hasty and
careless habits of eating. Stomach
troubles and rundown conditions also
usually go together.
John Lind, of Oneonta, N. Y, says:
81 have been troubled with a bad
stomach trouble for fifteen years, and
became SO weak that 1 could hardly
walk or do any work. My appetite
was very poor, and it seemed impos-
sible to get any relief. Since taking
two bottles of Vinol find that it has
already made a remarkable improve
ment in my health; my digestion Is
much stronger, and have gained In
weight"
Vinol makes weak stomachs strong
because It strengthens and tones up
the weakened, tired and overtaxed
nerves Of the digestive organs. Vinol
is easily assimilated by the weakest
stomachs, and is delicious to the taste.
Try a bottle OF Vinol with the
understanding that your money will
be returned If 1t does not help you
