SEWERAGE BOARD MEETING

The members of the Sewerage
Board met last Thursday evening
at the Citizens Bank building
with Mr.. Kramer, the engineer
and went over all Of the prelim-
inaries before making their re-
quest to the City Council for cal
ling Of the election. 1t is the in
tention to sewer within a radius
covering thirteen miles at cost
Of approximately $4,000. There
will practically be no cost for
the maintenance Of the Plant as
it will be worked on the gravity
system, passing through the
Imhoff Septic Tanks before being
lifted into the canal of the New
Iberia Southern Drainage Dis
trict in such liquid form that it
will not be Objectionable to any
one residing along the borders Of
the canal. The question of what
millage. to submit to the taxpayers
and the radius of time for the
expiration Of the bonds il the
only impeachment that confronts
the members of the Board at the
present time. Those who were
present at the session We're

call for the tax so as to make the
bonds conform with the laws OF

be acceptable to the purchasers.

PAROCHIAL SCHOOL.

An important real estate trans.
action last Saturday was the
transfer by the Henshaw Bros.
of their beautiful home on East
Main Street to Rev. j. M. Ian
wlois, secretary-treasuiy OF st.
Peters Roman Catholic church OF
New Iberia.
The consumation Of this deal
crowns with success the work OF
years on the part of the Reverend
Father; and marks a new era III
matters educational for our City.
Since the very beginning of his
pastorate, Father LangIois has
been diligently pursuing plans
for the establishment of an IN
stitution where the boys and
young men of his Parish, sur
rounded by every moral safe
guard, might be afforded the
opportunity of securing at home
the very best academic education
as well as Of receiving proper
commercial training. With this
end in view. he long ago sought
the assistance Of the Brothers OF
the Holy Cross, who agreed and
promised to undertake the con
duet of school in New Iberla,
provided that suitable and AIDE
quate quarters be provided. The
acquisition of the magnificent
Henshaw property satisfies this
requirement and insures the es-
tablishment Of a school winch
will be credit to our CITY.
These Brothers, a community OF
educated Christian gentlemen,
are banded together for the sole
purpose of educating the youth
of the State. Actuated neither
by the desire for gain nor for
personal advancement, their en-
tire efforts are devoted to the
welfare of their charges, with
results. that success always at
tends them as is evidenced by
the PROSPEROUS colleges operated
Mt New Orleans and at Bay 1T.
Louis to which institutions many
of our foremost citizens owe their
education.
The present purpose however
is not to operate college IN the
sense of inviting outsiders; but
rather to place the advantages OF
college training within the reach
of every boy in the Parish. For
a small monthly stipend, pupils
will be admitted and taught all
the branches usual to attain the
college course; and besides will
receive training along CONNER
cial lines, including bookkeeping,
stenography and kindred studies
which are now of necessity denied
them at the local schools.
Father Langlois is to be com
mended for his zeal and energy
which made possible the establish
ment of such an institution IN
our midst and incongratulatlng
him. we predict a full measure OF
succ ess for the undertaking.
In this connection We may be
permitted to suggest that the ex-
ample set by Father Lanelois for
the promotion Of education is
we'll worthy of emulation. With
his advice and cooperation, the
Sisters of Mount Carmel are also
extending the scope of their
school and the magnificent new
convent building nearing compile
ton will provide the girls OF the
Parish the same advantages that
the Brothers school will give the
boys and together will place New
iberia in the forefront in educa-
tional matters.

Avoid Sedative Cough Medicines.

II you want to contribute di-

SMALL GRAIN
READY TO CUT
SAYS MAN WHO HAS ALL OF
HIS EARLY OATS IN SHOCK
BARLEY WILL BE CUT THIS
WEEK.

That the small grain crop in this
section is almost ready for the har-
vest was the announcement of sever
al farmers this morning. Chief OF
Police Smith states that his early
oats are already all cut and in the
shocks and that the late oats viii be
ready for cutting within, possibly one
and not more than two weeks. The
chief has Il fine sample Of barley on
exhibition at his Office ana it shows
to be OF excellent quality with an
unusually heavy and wen formed
head. He states hat he viii cut the
barley this week. The chief has Il
fine farm four miles from the city.
Corn is rushing along now and gives
undoubted promise Of the largest
crop i'll the history OF the state.
The question of help for the har-
vesting OF the grain is still a prob
lem with the farmers. Many hoboes
and e~asterners are passing through
here heading for the great fields to
the northwest but much help is need
ed in this locality. The office of the
county register of deeds is supposed
now TO serve as an employment bur
a under the new law, but Register
Kimble states that only two farmers
have filed applications for help since
the law vent into effect July LIST.
Those desiring work in the fields
should 90 there to look for it.
