THE TECHE FAIR ASSOCIA-
TON.

As the dates for the Teche Fail
approaches it becomes more and
more evident that our first Fair
will be an unqualified success.
Starting with the idea of hav.
ing only a small s'Home Show
it is plain that the Fair has grown
to such proportions now as to
to such proportions now as to war
rant the statement that it will be
as large if not larger than any
Fair ever held in Southwest Lou
isiana. And there is but one way
that it can be made the largest
ever held in this section and that
is. for everybody who has some
thing to show, to show it and
everybody who is interested in
livestock and agriculture to be on
hand for the full three days of
the show. for above all, this will
be a school where practical knowls-
edge can be gained and gained
more thoroughly than months of
theoretical study. This is a Fair
for all the people Of Iberia Par.
ish and it is incumbent upon all
OUT citizens to contribute their
mite, either financially or in as
slsting in any one of a thousand
ways. There is work for all of
us. A man can help in more ways
than in contributing money. Mon
ey alone will not make the Fair
successful, but service, offered
willingly, is essential.
Those who compose the Board
of Directors have their hands full
if each department is to be prop
erly looked after. hence the need
of self appointed volunteers to !
take it upon themselves to work
up interest among the farmers
and others having something toI
display. and also making known |
to the Directors the ways they can
help and their willingness to help.1
There should not be an article.
product or animal in the Parish
worth showing that should not be !
IN the show ring. It requires
work to induce some of our timid
PEOPLE to show what they really I

AVE. It should not require much
argument to induce all our people
o visit the Fair. for it is free in
very respect. In other words It /

THE ELECTION.

The cleo ton last Tuesday to sc
lect delegates to the defeated
Constitutional Convention and in
cidentally to select successor II
the District Attorneys office re
suited in complete victory fol
the Progressive Party Of the Par
ish, both Hons. Henry n. Pharl
and L. O. Hacker being the choice
of the people. Hon. P. R. Burke
the Democratic nominee, fell
short one hundred and forty nine
votes when the count was finally
tabuIated. In this, the Sixth
Ward of the Parish the Democra-
tic candidate led the ticket by one
hundred and fourteen, but the
country was very much against
him and from reports sent in ear
ly in the day it was a forgone con-
clrsion the Progressive candid
dates would turn up elected. The
fight was three cornered one and
in this City where the voters do
not draw party lines very closely
when public questions are to be
settled, such as choosing delegates
to frame our laws, they all voted
independently and while some
voted Pharr and Burke, others
voted Hacker and Burke showing
that they were simply concerned
in selecting two delegates whom
they thought would best represent
the people according to their own
judgment. In nearly all Of the
other Wards the party lines were
strictly adhered too which encOm-
passed Mr.. Rurke's defeat.
As far as the Constitutional
Convention was concerned it was
always conceded the people of
Iberia Parish would never give it
their approval. In the first place
they did not like the complexion
Of things. insofar as the New Or
leans bosses were concerned and
it begins to look as though Tho
country people throughout the
State will defeat any measure
which emanates from them,
whether it be good or bad. This
being the case. all Of the efforts
on the part Of the people in chos-
ing delegates to look after their
interests is Of no avail. We are
inclined to think however. both
Hon. Henry n. Pharr and Judge
L. O. Hacker are perfectly salts t
fed over the defeat Of the Con-
{
In the selection of District At
torney, Hon Edwin Broussard
had no opposition and will no
doubt receive his commission from
The Governor within the next ten
days as our Parish Attorney.

BOY SCOUT TESTS.

Every Boy Scout must pass
certain tests before he can quail.
fy as tenderfoot, a second class
or a first class scout. The New
Iberia Scouts registered eighteen
for this year and they were di-
vided into two patrols to see
which one can be the most pro-
ficiient in the various tests. Each
patrol leader will be supposed to
look after his patrol and urge up
those that are backward. Many
drop out Of the movement because
they lack energy to pash the tests.
Even if the requirement seems
hard, persistent effort and the ex-
ercise of a little patience should
enable one boy to meet the re-
quirements as well as any other
boy. It should always be kept in
mind that what has been accomp-
lished by one can usually be ac-
comphshed by another fellow if
he but wills to-. do it. The idea
is that each Scout will become so
fnlliar with the laws that gov
ern Scouts everywhere and to put
into practice in daily life princi-
pies those things that will enable
him to become resourceful, self
seliaqts and Of service to others.
Tho, e isn't very funny,
When you hav'nt any money,
Laugh a little
Ha, ha, ha. no, no!
You will find your care and
J worry
Both will leave you in a hurry, |
Try, it now and see if it is so.

SING SING TODAY.

In the fall Of last year a reforl

setting all our old time theorie.
of human betterment.
On the 18th day Of Angus
MiXola Greely-Smith, a reporter
of New York City, paid this prison
a visit and here is what she says
of the changes wrought thereby
the new warden, Thomas Moth
/ Osborne:
"'He has abolished the prison
pallor; he has silenced for all
time the prison whisper-the
dreadful talking through motion
less lips which convicts had in
vented to be able to communicate
with each other in spite of rules.
Osborne did this by permitting
the men to talk at all times and
by allowing them two hours daily
recreation in the prison yard
from 4 to 6 and by giving the free
dom of the yard all day Sunday
and on every holiday. Formerly
the men were locked in their
death-dealing cells from Saturday
night to Monday morning and
Sunday was for them a day of
tortured
Prison is not a place of pun
ishment or revenge" said the
warden. cit is place of re-
stralnt. of cure, Of regeneration
It is liberty alone that fits men
for liberty, as Gladstone wrote
when it was said that the Irish
were not ready for home rule.
SSThe old prison system en-
deavored to make men Industrious
by driving them to work, to make
them virtuous bv removing temp
tation; to make them far-sighted
by allowing them no chance to
exercise foresight! to make them
more fit for struggle as individuals
by treating them not as individu-
ais but as large groups without in
dividuality; in short. to prepare
them for a successful return to
society by compelling them to
live under conditions as unlike
real society as they could possibly |
be made.

isb. who will be the hosts, for tn
other parishes, we understand
hwill be well represented, both IL
visitors and in exhibits. Let s no
be outdone.
The business people of the com
munity have contributed most
literally, which shows the keen
interet felt by our people in the
Importance of a Fair. The con.
tributions received by the finance
committee show a magnificent
spirit on the part of our people
and they deserve congratulations
on the way they have come for
ward.
The catalogues will be out in a
few days, and we are requested
to announce to all those interest
ed in the Fair or exhibits to write
in early to the Secretary for cop
les Of the catalogue, and to those
who intend to exhibit, to write in
at once for entry blanks. This is
important and should not be over
looked. 1t would not be bad
idea for any citizen knowing some
one who has something to exhibit,
whether in this Parish or in other
parishes to make list of such
names and either personally re-
quest them to be present or hand
these names over to the Secretary
so that entry blanks and cata-
logues can be mailed them. Let
everybody constitute himself a !
committee of one to work up ex-
hibits and make sure that we will
have large number to fiji the
space that has been provided.
Excursions will be run on Sun
day on the Southern Pacific and
the New iberia and Northern. Be-
sides the secretary has secured
from the Southwestern Passenger
at ST. Louis authorize
ton to announce open rates Of one
and one-third fare from all points
on the following lines: Southern
Pacific, New Iberia and Northern,
Louisiana Railway and Naviga- :,
ion Company, New Orleans. Texas
and Mexico Railroad and Texas
and Pacific.
These rates will hold from Sept. /
% to midnight of Sept 9th. i
1t would be a good suggestion
for anyone having friends living
On any of these lines to write to
hem inviting them to take adj
vantage of the rates and spend a
Few days in the Teche country.
The degree Of success Of the Fair
depends entirely upon how much
Zach any every one Of us feel it
,ur duty to help and the amount

erprise.
Addresses will be delivered on
Agriculture nv the best posted ex-
'erts in the State and it behooves
nr. citizens and more especially
he farmers to be present on those
occasions.
