I'm MEMORIAM OF GABRIEL
LANDRY.

For over six years Gabriel
Landry has been member OF this
Order.
AS brother he has ever been
loyal and ready to do his duty
towards his Lodge and his fell
low Elks, and he was greatly be-
loved and esteemed by them all.
He was a kind, respectful and
dutiful son; a loving and devot-
ed husband and father; stauneh
and faithful friend; and an hon
est true and upright Christian.
He was of a gentle and unassum
ing mien, but within the inner
man. was that generosity OF ma
ture, kindness and largeness OF
heart, and greatness of soul, and
"The elements were so mixed in
him that Nature might stand up
and say to all the world, This
was man "
While yet in the prime OF Wig
orous manhood, with glorious
future before him, the thread OF
life was untimeiy cut; yet with
in those few short years, "fie
lived most" for he thought most,
felt the nOblest and acted the
best" His demise is deeply re-
GREETED and sincerely felt by his
Brother Elks of Lodge 554 of
New iberia, and as a mark of
love, esteem and respect enter
tanned for him.
Be it resolved, That his name
be inscribed upon the Tablet OF
this Lodge, and that a page of
the Minute Book be dedicated to
his memory.
Be it further Resolved, That
a copy of this resolution be for
warded to his bereaved widow
and children and likewise to the
press.

AN OBJECT IN VIEW.

You seldom find saving fam
lily paying rent.
A family paying rent has no
special incentive to save, but the
family that buys 2 home has a
special object to save for. They
at once realize that it is much
more important to save their mon
ely and pay for their home than
to waste it foolishly, and if they
have borrowed money from this
Association they can pay it back
in easy monthly payments.
1t is all in the plan.
Call on our Secretary.

P. A. CONRAD OF THIS CITY
SHIPS FIRST RICE.

Twenty-Five pockets Of clean
rice, the first of the 1913 season,
were received and sold in New
Orleans Tuesday. The rice was
raised by =. A. Conrad Of New
Iberia, La. 1t was also cleaned
by a mill which Mr.. Conrad has
on his plantation. The receipts
of this clean rice sets a precedent
for the handling of the new crop
of rice, the usual procedure here
tofore being to ship to this city
rice in raw state, known as
rough rice, and the local mills
bid for it, they doing the milling
and Offering it to the trade. Mr..
Conrad had been sending the
first rice to market for many
Years. SO
The shipment received Tues
day was consigned to s, Locke
Breaux, rice merchant Of New
Orleans, Albert Mackie Grocery
Company being the purchaser. In
the lot there We're seven pockets
of fancy, which sold for 6 lie;
seven pockets of head, which sold
for 4 lie, and eight pockets of
screenings, which sold for 3 Lac.
One Of the best posted men on
the Board of Trade, in comment
ingon this first rice shipment,
said: : h. ,~i.N
"These rices show a very fair
style of milling when one consld-
ers that it is the first Of the crop.
A little later on, when the riees
have hardened and matured bet
ter, better separation and regu-
larity will show.
There was considerable In.
terest manifested by the trade
generally, nearly all the rice firms
being represented. and although
it will be week or ten days
more before rough rice begins to
move, the ball may be said to be
opened with this little shipment.
mo better evidence of the
change and evolution that has
taken place in the rice trade can
be cited than the fact that here
tofore the dealer and distributor
got the first lot. This time =
grocery house steps to the fore.
and through its rice department
puts itself first in the field.

pecially to show the appreciation
Of the course Of Senators Thorn

events ever taking place within

DEMONSTRATION FARMS.

contained the following article
anent the effort being made TO
locate a Demonstration Farm
near New iberia:
"Some time ago Mayor Fonte-
lieu wrote to Congressman Brous-
sard asking him to interest the
Federal Cob eminent iii the es-
adjustment Of a demonstrat on
farm in Iberia Parish. a few
DAYS ago we printed the fact that
Terrebonne, taking time by the
forelock, had made tentative ar
rangements with one OF the
agents of the National Depart
mCnt Of Agriculture for starting
on a small scale number OF
such farms.
The action of these two par
ishes indicates a spirit which we
hope will become general through
out the sugar district. 1t shows
that their people are not gong
TO sit down and hold their hands
urtil something turns up. 1hey
know what they want and they
are going after it.
Until the tariff bill is finally
passed there will of course al
WAYS be a lingering hope that
the President and Congress Will
agree to the elimination of the
three-year clause. The sugar
people and those who are more
or less dependent on the industry
would, however, be lacking IN
Judgment if they did not realize
that all the odds are against
them and that in all probability
the sugar industry will pass out
three years from the time the new
schedule goes into effect.
A change from sugar to other
crops can not be made IN a day
or year. The soil has to be
made adaptable to the cultlva-
ton of new products; and the
most important proposition to be
determined is what are the prod
ucts which will give the best re
suits from a financial standpoint
when sugar is abandoned.
/ The Government experts have
already had the matter under con
sideration and they can be OF
great assistance to planters and
farmers in working out the prob
lem. In the sugar district little
else is grown and the thousands
of small farmers scattered
through it have much to learn
with regard to the raising OF
other crops.
In Terrebonne the police jury
and the municipality of HOuma
are cooperating to the extent OF
establishing number of demon
stration farms of from forty to
one hundred acres and they hope
thereby so to educate their peo-
pie that when the time comes for
the change from sugar they will
be able more speedily to accom-
modate themselves to the new
conditions.
The example of Terrebonne
and Iberia ought to be followed
by all the parishes in their sec
, ton of the State. Joint action
will undoubtedly enlist the earn
est assistance of the authorities at
Washington.
Free sugar will Of course bring
in is wake heavy financial losses
in the destruction Of property
and more or less suffering. But
no sensible person doubts, if the
worst comes to the worst, that
LOlli1anians, who have over
come most of the other calamities
i'm the calendar, will overcome
the temporary disaster caused by
the wiping out of the sugar in
dustrv. The activity in Iberia
and Terrebonne is reflect tive Of
the spirit in which the sugar dis
trict will meet an industrial rev
