great stress on the genuineness
of the offer of hospitality on the
part of the Post and the City OF
New Iberia and made it SO fra
ternal and saturated with friend
ship that no English words in the
vocabulary can correctly des-
cribe. He also compared the
drummer in relation to commerce
to the advertisement in relation
to journalism. AS commerce
cannot thrive without the dy-
manic force and the continual
push and energy Of the drummer,
neither can newspaper thrive
and exist without a well filled
, advertising column. Both ageh-
cies represent the optimism i'll
those daily stern stringent actl\-
tits building this era of CONNER
clalism. The travelling man real
ICES without additional emphasis
and explanation on our part that
the statement or the declaration
We made to them at the last State
Convention are not only being
Geligiously lived up to but sur
passed in a natural matter of fac,
way that is one Of the distinct
characteristics of friendship OF
our people.
The Convention was opened i'll
a regular form by Mr.. Ed Smith,

Last night there was one of
those exquisite dances given
where beauty, charm and grace
reign as queen. The big dining
room and lobby of Hotel Fred
eric was artiscally decorated for
the occasion and the beautiful
picture and panorama coupled
with the enhancing music was
an inspiration to terpsichorian
disciples.

excursion to the Avery Salt
Mines where a natural phenomena

Tonight the climax Of the
whole Convention will be staged
It the Alma House and an elab-
rate banquet that could rival a
east of Lucullus will be the cap
tone Of that temple Of brother
lood in which all mankind wor-
hip.
The fanciest and dandiest dish

art reflected in the toasts on live
opics of the season should make
his occasion not only the con-
ummation, but the crown of the
est work of the Convention. !
