The New Iberia
Fair A Success

The first parish fair given at
New Iberia last week was a splen-
did success in every way, the ex-
hibits of stock, poultry and hogs
were the most complete We have
seen any where, and all other lines
OF industries and agriculture were
as complete.
The attendance during the three
days was large aud we feel safe in
saying that such fairs are of great
good to tho entire section, and it
proves to them in a very forceful
manner what some of their neigh
bors are doing, which they could
also do.

State of Louisiana
State Banking Deartment
r. N. Sims, Examiner.

New Orleans, La, Sept. 27, 1915.
To all State Banking Associations,
Savings Banks and Trust Compa-
nies of the State of Louisiana.
call your earnest attention to
the following extract from decision
of the United States Supreme
Court on the subject OF overdrafts
Such usage and practice is
surely manifest departure from
the duty, both of the Directors and
Cashier, as cannot receive counten-
ance in a Court of Justice. 1t
couldn't be supported by any vote of
the Directors, however formal; and
therefore, whenever done by Ca
shier, is at his own peril and upon
the responsibility of himself and
his sureties."
The Cashier and Bondsmen have
made all manner of defenses in ac-
tions against them for losses on
overdrafts, and in every case | have
examined, Courts of last resort
have brushed aside these defenses
and held that overdrafts were Ille-
gal and that the Cashier and his
Bondsmen were liable.
The records of this Department
show that the practice of allowing
overdrafts has in many instances
proved of great injury to deposi-
tors and stockholders. Many of
our banks allow no overdrafts. it
has been good thing for them. The
practice, besides being illegal and
making the officers and their bonds
men responsible, is harmful in that
it does not make friends, and the
4
purpose of this circular is to re-
quest that you join with me in
eliminting this perniclous evil,
The Cashier is requested to read
this circular to the Directors of his
Bank at their next meeting, and tc
promptly advise me of their action
The position of the drawer is de
fined in Act 2O9 OF 1914, and there
have already been convictions IN
this Act.

LOuiSiana'S

OpelOnsas Clarlan.

Nine years ago q strenuous fight
was begun throughout the South
for the eradication of tho cattle
tick; Louisians's nearest neighbor
took up the work in earnest. while,
We across the Mississippi river,
gave little thought to the impor-
tance of doing away with this
costly pest. Other states in Dixie
followed in the footsteps of Mis-
sissippi and . systematic fight
against the cattle tick has been
made ever since, with the rssult
that one-third of tho infected area
10 now free of the cattle tick.
All this time Louisiana paid lit.
tie attention to tick eradication
aud the same government report
that shows the progress made iD
the South, also shows that this
splendid cattle state has only 4
per cent of it's area free from Fe-
deral quarantine.
Whenever money was spent for
the improvement of cattle, such ss
doing away with the tick, splendid
profits have been derived. Our
cattle rslsers are told repeatedly
that they are losing from SIS to $40
on every head Of cattle shipped
out of Leuisiana, because of the
tick, and yet We are very slow in
making any progress towards lift
ing the Federal quarantine from
off the entire state.
The praises of Louisiana as a
cattle state have been sung for
years past; We are told that Mt
where in tho world can q better
state for the profitable raising of
cattle be found. Here We have
short winters, fine pastures, Oh
which cattle can Craze for ten
months each year and the colo
weather is never dangerous fol
any animal.
When Louisiana will be freed
of the cattle tick our cattle VIII
demand prices which We never
dreamed could be possible. The
sooner we do something in the dl.
rectiou OF tick eradication the
quicker we will begin to reap tbe
benefits Of our cattle. The tigL'
should DO kept up in the state and
every cattle owner should make
use of the dipping watts, in order
that we can free the state OF The
pest.

that this is part of a general program
