NEXT MONDAY NIGHT.

In another colGmn appears a
notice issued b. the Secretary OF
the New Iberia Chamber of Com
merce urging all Of the members
to be present for the purpose OF
chosine a new Board Of Directors
to serve the ensuing year. This
is an event in which every bust
ness man and taxpayer in this
City should lend his presence and
help to secure a live Board Of Dl-
rectols to manage the Association.
1t should be remembered that this
Association has been provided
with a paid officer only five
months and the results of his
work is already bearing fruit IN
so far as finding markets for the
produce Of this Parish and getting
our farmers interested IN raising
truck and otherwise changing the
farming conditions of the Parish
so as to make farming more profit
able which rebounds to the ben
eft of every business man in this
vicinity. The time has come when
we must all pull together if we
hope to see our people prosper as
they should. Heretofore the
masses of our peol lie only inter
ested themselves in matters of a
political nature which had the eff
feet Of demoralizing, instead of
developing our resources. We
are pleased at the change that has
come over our people which IS
very evident of late. There Is
nothing to Gain for the masses
wherein their whole thoughts are
along political lines and Iberia 5
too rich in resources for US to
neglect them any longer.
Speaking of the necessity OF
Chambers of Commerce we here
with quote splendid article from
the Portland Bulletin that bears
on the subject:
eff every community in the
State would reduce its commerclai
body into a practical business or
ganization such as is conducted
hy our successful merchants, ana
would give that organization the
financial and MOI al support nee
essarv to carry out the program
for the improvement Of the COM
munity, this year would prove to
be one of progress and prosperity.
cit is no small wonder that
some of the smaller towns in the
State have not made the progress
they deserve. The almost in
variable trouble has been a cry
stallization Of the individual spirit
rather than the unifcation of the
community spirit via well or
gained commercial body.
elm order to have a good work
ing organization there is really
no necessity for heavy contribu-
tons. Similar contributions
backed by unified effort are a
sure recipe for communal pros
perity.
"a little individual effort for
the common good goes a long way
A display of true communal
spirit is sure to impress the in
vestor. be he tourist farmer o.
manufacturer.
"A commercial body properly
conducted is civic necessity. It
is an investment that realizes no
end Of profit to every member OF
a community. It is to the COM
munity what the travelling man
is to the jobbing house-the bus
mess getter. Contributions to
commercial bodies should there
fore not be charged to Expense
rather do they belong under In
vestmentS.

VISIT HERE OF DIR. BOOKER

Wednesday, April 18th is the
date set for the visit here of DR..
Booker T. Washington, president
of the famous Tuskegee Indus
trial School which was founded
by him to give the Negro youth
industrial training and who en-
joys the distinction more than
any Of his race for uplifting the
Negro and putting him in posi-
ton to take his place as a citi-
zen of this country. The visit
here of DR.. Washington is calcu-
lated to bestir the better element
of our Negro population in work
along agricultural and industrial
lines and hundreds Of our white
fellow citizens who believe in
helping those who are willing to
help themselves, also contributed
towards defraying the expenses to
be incurred by his visit. Anv
training calculated to teach the
Negro that he must work for his
own salvation and enlightenment
if he expects to receive assistance
from his wife neighbor should
be encouraged by all right think
ing citizens and his visit here is
bound to rebound to the benefit
of the community.

CALLS SOME CHURCHES
REFRIGERATING PLANTS
Secretary Daniels Deplores the Lack
of Brotherly Love Among Pro-
fessed Christians.

That some churches are regular re-
frigerator plants, because they are SO
cold that ice cream could be made in
them." was the declaration of Secre-
tary Daniels of the Navy Department
in speaking at the ground breaking
exercises of the new Petworth Metho-
dist Episcopal Church yesterday after
noon, held in the present building at
Sth and Shepherd streets northwest
More neighborly feeling and brotherly
love should prevail in the churches.
and instead of freezing their con-
gregation they should make them feel
that they belong in church." the Secre-
tary said.
Il always think of The church as a
base" declared the speaker. In the
navy we have bases for our fleets,
where they can put in and take on
supplies and freShen up, and in the
same way the church serves. A church
should be d base where one can come
and be welcome. l like to think of the
church as base for our army and
navy"
The progress of the Methodists. which
he attributed to the fact that 1t had
not only been a church where a man
could feel that he had some sympathy
and welcome. but to the fearlessness OF
it's founders, was praised by the
speaker. Boldness is required of a
minister. asserted the Secretary, be-
cause, he said, "a man must be bold

Bumpys tracks almost right away and
he began to tell everybody SO with his
great voice. The sound of it frightened
Bumpy almost to death. He ran as he
never had run before, but he hadn't
the least idea where he was running to.
He was running away, that was all OF
course, when he started out he had
meant to get to the henhouse to sample
some OF those delicious eggs Grumpy
had told about. This was his real rea-
son for running away.
But as luck would have it, he was
headed in the wrong direction and the
first thing he knew there was Farmer
Browns house right in front of him.
He didn't dare to stop with Bowser
after him. so he kept on. Under one
corner Of the porch he saw a hole, and
into this he popped with a great sigh
of thankfulness Rowser couldn't get in
there. Neither could Farmer Browns
boy. The latter stopped down and look
ed under. Then he called to Bumpy and
Bumpy wouldn't listen. Then Farmer
Browns boy got some goodies and put
them down In front of the hole. They
were great temptation. and Bumpy
almost yielded. He went far enough to
poke the tip of his nose out. But
Farmer Browns boy was waiting for
him, and he went back and tried to for
get those goodies.
Then Farmer Browns boy brought the
box trap in which he had caught
Grumpy in the henhouse and he set it
right In front Of the hole. Inside he put

waited in vain.
At last one day he stole away through
the grass while Farmer Browns boy
was looking another way. He was

Then Farmer Browns boy began to

PLANS ARE CONSIDERED
FOR THE UNEMPLOYED
Proposed Cooperation of Federal
Labor Authorities and State

Secretary Wilson today had under
consideration plans for further coop
Grafton of the federal labor authorities
and the industrial departments of the
various states, outlined in a conference
with Commissioner Caminetti and J.
T. Fitzpatrick. secretary of the Asso-
citation of Governmental Labor Ofhces.
These plans. which had for their pur-
pose the promotion of the efficiency OF
state abor laws and which dealt chiefly
with the unemployment question. will
be discussed at the congress OF the
state comm ssioners in San Francisco
August .: Secretary Wilson and other
members of his department are plan
ming to attend
Plans for Seasonal Laborers.
One of the most important questions
concerning the means of securing
work for the unemployed was the mat
ter of transportation of seasonal labor
ers. Steps will be taken to coordinate
the slack periods in the factories with
the harvest season in the west. Efforts
will be made, it is stated, to persuade
the factories to use the summer season
to overhaul their plants, thus permit
ting mill employees to take a profitable
vacation on farms instead OF losing
time in the winter season, when other
work is difficult to find.
Another scheme for relieving the un-
employment situation provides for "box
car excursions" when the railroads are
sending empty trains westward for
grain These excursions would make
cheap transportation possible when the
working man can find ready market
for his labor on the farms.
"Back to Soil' Program.
The opening of federal lands or the
buying in of idle districts under bond
issue has also been considered by the
department in Washington. This would
permit the large number of skilled
farm workers who had left the country
districts in unsuccessful attempts to
find city work jobs an opportunity to
get back to the soil,' and eventually
own their own lots on easy payments
The creation of an inter-related labor
exchange between the states, which
will secure the necessary cooperation
for efficient transportation of labor is
also under consideration. This. it is
pointed out, would assure the distribu-
ton of immigrant labor where it would
be most effective.
