BRIEFLY RELATED.

Last Tuesday was the seventh an
niversary of the tornado which de-
stroyed about $1,000 worth of prop
erty around Berryville. The North
Arkansas Star called attention to the
date and to the fact that the spell Of
weather which preceded the tornado
was similar to the spell Of weather
Arkansas had just preceding last
Thursday. The Star was called a pes,
simist by another North Arkansas
newspaper. Thursday 20 lives were
lost in a tornado in Arkansas, proba-
bly, 100000 worth Of property was
destroyed and 100 people were more
or less seriously injured.

towards making up for the eX-
ceedingly short crop this year.
The season is. excellent for har-
vesting and within the next two
weeks no doubt every sugar re-
finery in Southwest Louisiana will
be through grinding. 1t is said.
however, that the cane does not
possess the sucrosc matter 1T
ought to owing to the unseaSon-
able dry season. The price be-
ing paid this year we believe eX-
ceeds that of any year since cane
has been raised in Louisiana and
with the big crop of seed cane
saved for 1916, our planters
ought to make money next year.
We trust none Of our small farm
ers will not overlook the fact that
if he ever wants to be independent
they should also raise sufficient
corn and pork for their own con-
sumption. The risk of depending
only on one crop is too great and
our past experience should be
lifelong lesson to all Of them.

10 give our readers an
idea Of the way our horses are be-
ing slaughtered in Europe dur
ing the present conflict, one dealer
alone whom we had the pleasure
OF meeting recently, informed us
that his Company alone had sold
since the war began, one hundred
and fifty head each day. When
taken into consideration that the
life OF an animal in the war is
only even days, the demands
upon this country for horse flesh
runs into several millions. The
purchase and sale of horses to be
used for such purposes is repre-
henslble, to say the least, and it
Is time now for the Humane So
cletles of the United States to
have laws passed prohibiting the
further shipment of animals TO
the European countries.

Hon. Edwin BrOussard an
nounced this week his inclination
to enter the Progressive Conven-
ton as a candidate for Lieuten-
ant-GOvernOr of Louisiana in the
general election to be held dur
ing the month Of April when the
election of State officials will take
place. Thus we have seeking the
same hOnors, two of Iberia's fav-
ored sons. Hon. Porteus r. Burke
who is seeking the nomination on
the Democratic ticket making
the other. From what we
learn. the general impression
is that Mr.. Broussard basis his
chances of election as running
mate to Mr.. Parker solely on the
grounds Of Mr.. Fontenot securing
the nomination on the Prohibi-
ton ticket. We have reason to
believe that Mr.. Burke will come
out victorious in the Democratic
primary, judging from the strong
he is receiving in North
Louisiana as well as throughout
the remainder Of the State. If it
is otherwise, we do not doubt
that Mr.. Broussard will prove
formidable candidate as far as
Southwest Louisiana is cone erned.

The election of Sewerage
Commissioners took place last
Monday in this City for the se!ec-
ton Of Commissioners with full
power to install a system of sew
erage in New Iberia as soon as
the tax has been levied and the
plans are acceptable to the gen
tlemen comprising the Board and
within the next SIX months, if the
people Of New Iberia approve the
project. New Iberia will have as
complete system as any City OF
this size in the State of Louisiana.
The question Of sewerage is real
ly paramount to anything in the
way Of internal improvements
that confront us to-day and when
taken into consideration that
there will be no extra taxation,
only. a continuance of the Water
and Electric Light tax Of two
mills which will expire during
1916, we are satisfied the taxpay-
ers Of New Iberia will sanction
the movement. The Board is com
prised of our best financiers, all
gentlemen who have the interest
Of our little community at heart
and the fact that they were again
reelected without opposition goes
to prove that the work could be
placed in no better hands. We
believe this was the first election
where the commissioners and
clerks Of election served without
pay and Mayor Sealv deserves
much credit for his efforts to have
the election held without any cost
whatsoever to the taxpayers.
The Chamber of Commerce
has had placed in front of their
office which is in the City Hall, a
large sign which will 'he very
to strangers. The idea
of placing a sign where all can see
that we have a live Board to look
after the interests Of the Civ is
an excellent one. The interest
taken by the Board in keeping
New iberia in the limelight de-
serves the consideration Of our
people. We are pleased to re-
port that there are but few Of our
who are not contributing
towards its maintenance. No
better, investment on the part IF
our people could be made and we
trust ere long that all Of our peo-
pie will soon realize the good
work that this Board has under
aiken for the uplifting Of our
Citv. The sessions Of the Board
ire always omen to the members
md it would he well for more Of
hem to drop in at the meeti1es
md lend suggestions that could ,
,e put into practice hv the Board.

the largest stocks of Christmas
and holiday goods ever brought
to New Iberia. Only recently,

proprietors and Mr.. Harvey Hill
went East to make purchases and
now they are prepared to fill any
order for goods that could be
supplied at New Orleans. Those of
oUr people who frequently send
to catalog houses for jewelrv
should see the large stock of
Pfister Eros. and their prices. If
they do, we are satisfied their
money will remain at home.
Aside from that. they employ
constantly a big force of en-
rlovees and it is only by pa"
nlzlng our home merchants that
we can ever hope to build up the
business houses of New IBERIA.
There is entirely too much dispO-
sitiOn on the part Of some of our
people to send off for their goods
and when everything is equal,
certainly. our business houses
and industries should be given
preference.
