amusement for any who might be
interested in track athletics and
also to enable each team to find

public and their hearty co-opera-
ton, it is the various forms of
athletics in which the boys of the

them to be strong and self-reliant,
it shows them where their weak
points are and it shows them the
value of living a clean. manly life.

this City about noon and were ac-
companied by Principal Laurent

teams were evenly matched as 20
size and numbers but the meet

cided advantage in practice and

The large vote polled in Iberia
shows the inclination of the peo-
pie to east their allegiance with
the Republican party, due to the
action Of the leaders OF the DEM
ocratic party in forcing on the
people free sugar which would
cripple the industries Of this sec
ton of Louisiana. Two parishes,
Lafourche and Assumption was
carried by the Republican party
and unless Hon. Robert F. Brous-
sard is honored with the Demo-
cratic nomination in the Third
District this section of louisiana
will certainly be represented with
Republican in the future. 1t
would be we'll for the Democratic
Party to take heed and renOmE-
nate Mr.. Broussard for another
term, as none but Mr.. BrOussard
will be acceptable to the cane
growers and others interested IN
the sugar industry Of Southwest
