in hurting Liddle. Hite was taker
into a room where, 1t later was
brought out, he died Of sufocatior

Jesse James, in hiding in St. JOS

Ford knew Jesse would kill him II
Jesse learned 1t was he who shot
Hite, and he made up his mind to

she has in the past taken the lead in
submarine building. Some years ago

There is much standing timber
in iberia Parish, including such
timbers as ash, oak, gum and cy-
press.
Figs grow almost wild in the
parish. One can cut a twig from
a fig tree, plant it and it will grow
almost as rank as a weed. 1t will
be a producing tree in about two
years. Pecan trees also grow
wild.
The parish has a fine system
of both public and parochia]
schools. Iberia has the distinc-
ton of having had a good school
system for years and one that is
literally supported.
In the parish there is a ming
ling Of the French and English
civilizations. English is prob
ably the predominating language
in the parish to-day. There has
been a rapid transition from
French to English within the last
few years. Of course the native
population of the parish likes to
converse in the beautifully &C.
cented language of their fore
fathers, but no plain English
speaking individual need fear for
himself in iberia. In every ward
of the parish he will be greeted
in just as good English as he can
speak himself.
But to get down to the crux
of this article-the New Iberia
Chamber of Commerce. This
body decided several weeks ago
that aside from attracting factor
les and residents to New Iberia
that it would take a step further.
It decided to be a means Of en-
enlargement and assistance to
farmers in a way that will bring
about diversified farming in the
parish. The following are a few
of the more important things the
Chamber Of Commerce will do:
Encourage diversifcation, truck
ing, cattle raising, hog raising,
tick eradication and the wiping
out of hog cholera. It will en-

Lie Treatment
In Tuberculosis

In the May 8, 1914, issue of the
Jo0Fnal 81 the American Medical As
S0castiOn appeared this statement
concerning calcium (lime) medica.
tion i'm the treatment Of pulmonary
tuberculosis (cOnsumptiOn):
"Under the systematic. continued
and persistent regime Of calcium
ASSIMILATION, Van GiesOn has seen q
number of his patients Improve, un-
dergO an oxidation or partial con-
sOlidatiOn i'm the lung, which then re-
solving would appear to contribute
to the yvalling off and closing of the
LESSONS. Hand in hand with this
course Of events, the sputum clears
up of tubercle bacilli, which finally
charged with healed pulmonary tu-
berculOsis."
Ethical medical journals seldom
speak SO positively about remedial
agent, yet this testimony comedies
with that from many consumptives
who have secured like results
through the use of Eckman's Altera-
tive.
Since calcium is a constituent of
this remedy for pulmonary tubercu-
losis and allied throat and bronchial
affections, it's healing power may in
some measure be attributed to the
manner in which this element is so
combined with other ingredients as
to be easily assimilated by the aver
age person and it does not irritate
the stomach.
Eckmans Alternative contains no
opiates, narcotics or habit forming
drugs, so it is safe to try. If your
druggist is out of 1t, ask him to
order, or send direct to

Uncertainty as to Woodrow

the subject of presidential can

tendency to throw out feelers for

the gentle but persistent "knock-

The subjoined article from tn
pen of Mr.. J. H. Williamson ap
peared in the Gulf States Farme
Of November:

is habit, too, that will eventual
ly make Louisiana one Of tn
most, if not the most, prosperou
commonwealth Of the South
Hence it is with an idea Of ap
piled efficiency that this is writ
ten about the City of New Iberi;
and the Parish of Iberia.
Right in the beginning i
should be stated that New Iberia
has one Of the most progressive
Chambers Of Commerce in Louisi
ana. The backbone of its pro
gressiveness is the fact that it il

tural interests of Iberia Parish
and thereby add permanently to
the resources of New Iberia in a
commercial way. The men be-
hind this Chamber Of Commerce
have put a competent secretary
in charge that is in keeping with
the position. The population of
New iberia probably does not ex-
seed $4,000.
iberia Parish is located in
South Louisiana and the parish
seat is served by the main line
Of the Southern Pacific. Branch
lines of this line Of railroad also
traverse the parish. The Frisco
also crosses the parish, as does
the F. & A., and running between

as it was stated on authority that
no part of the parish is probably
paore than four miles from a rail
road.
Running between New Iberia
and Jeanerette is modern road

SIS, 900 and all Of the country
roads average up well. In fact,
New Iberia is doing a great deal
Of road building and drainage
work. When the writer was in
New Iberia he was shown the
drainage or ditch-digging ma
chine at work. This machine
cuts q beautifully shaped ditch
and throws the dirt to the road
side. The road is then levelled
off and soon packs as hard al
most as flint because the ditch
takes care Of the water. Before
many months the police jury of
The parish will have worked out
as fine a system of roads and
bitches as may be found in Lou
isiana. The building of the
roads and the drains will en-
nance the value of the farm lands.
The ditching machine is not ex-
pensive to operate and the bene-
fits to be derived from proper
drainage can hardly be- computed
in dollars and cents.
The leading waterway Of the
parish is the beautiful Bayou
Teche and a plan is on foot to
build a canal from New Iberia
to Grand Lake.. a distance of some
eight miles. It will drain prob
ably 10000 acres and in addition
will open up various avenues for
new industries. At Grand Lake
