ALL DESERVE THE CREDIT

In asking the children at.
tending the public schols in New
Iberia for money to buy presents
for those who helped the passage
Of the two mill tax for the
schools, ! wish to say that the
mere request cheapens the act.
Hundreds did as much and pos
sibly more than those to whom
you wish to make presents. Those
who did work, did it either from
a personal, financial or public
spirited motive. To give pres
ents to a few when they did no
more than their duty; to reward
those who are already well paid
by the public is wrong.
Let me suggest that request
BE- sent to the School Board oil
the Parish to issue a letter Of
thanks to all those who by Their
united efforts aided the carrying
of the tax.

SOUTHWESTERN REFLEC-
TI0NS.

Have 'joined the number
Of those who are taking part IN
the Potato Day campaign In
terest in the subject is increas'
ing daily because the people I'M
derstand that good money can
be made by putting pumpkin
vans on the market early. Also,
to do so will be to take a long
step in the direction Of diversified
agriculture, which is but another
name for prosperity.
At Centerville, in the heart OF
the sugar belt, the farmers are
taking up the work in earnest
and last week a most interesting
Potato Day" meeting was held
al Lake Arthur, where an active
cooperative club is already do
ing business. Inquiries are com
ing from many Of the parishes
and the movement is spreading
like wildfire.
The "get together" leaven is
working throughout the district
Even as the dogwood blossom is
the sure indication Of Spring
SO the alacrity with which the
farmers are responding to thu
call for volunteers in the sweet
potato movement is a certain
harbinger Of agricultural prog
ress.
Indeed a revolution is impend
ing throughout Southwest Lou
isiana. Its approach is not her
aided by the booming Of cannon
nor the tread Of militant hosts
Bloodless indeed il il, but no
sweatless. And what is strang
er still, it proposes to enricl
those who enlist under its ban
ners. not by spoils wrested van
pushed foe, but by the peaceful
conquest Of honest toll.
That's what potato Day
means to Southwest Louisiana
Il proposes q peaceful revolution

Gratifying indeed were the re-
suits Of the School Tax Election
last Tuesday. For, through the
sums to be- derived, the children
Of at least part of the Parish
are assured Of full session OF
nine months for years to come.
II would have been far more sat
isfactory had the entire Parish
subscribed to the issue; but act
nated no doubt by crop failures
and hard times, four of the eight
Wards registered themselves rs
opposed to the tax. The children
of these will be the sufferers; for
while their more fortunate neigh
bors will be attending school AMI
being prepared to worthlly NIL
the roll of good citizenship, they,
in enforced vacation. will be de-
r;ea tho privileges which are, or
should hn theirs. Here, in the
9th Ward, perhaps the liveliest
interest was manifested. From
early afternoon Monday, until
the final cornt Tuesday night,
the advocates Of the tax worked
ceaselesslv and successfully for
victory. Shortly after the noon
hour Monday, accompanied by
their teachers, over eleven hun
dred children bearing banners
recting their needs and implor-
ing the aid and assistance Of their
elders, marched in procession
through the streets. Later, the
larger ones. repaired to the Elks
Theatre where mass meeting
presided over by Judge Il. q.
