NEW SOC MEXICAN COIN.

We were shown by Mr.. Willis
Laperouse a Fifty Cent Mexican
piece Of money which is now gen.
orally used in that country since
the Revolution. The coin was
sent to him by his brother Walter,
now resident of Galveston, Tex.
The letter to his brother anent
how he came into possession of
the money is as follows:
II am sending a SOC Mexican
piece by separate mail. The act
ual value of it is not so much but
1T comes from a high official of
the Mexican Army who became a
good friend Of mine. He has
gone back to Mexico. It's a
Slquento Centavas. He was a
Major General under Huerta and
fought the American boys when
they were at Vera Cruz, vet he
found the same boys here to greet
hum WIN he had to flee from Mex
leo. But he was defending his
country and he thinks highly Of
we Americans. Keep it as a SOU
venier. His name is Zapata."

LOLALTY AND DUTY.

Loyalty should always point
unerlngly to duty and is not hard
to find or learn. though it may be
hard to perform at times, con-
filcting interests often leading in
different. directions.
To the grateful and sincerely
conscientious spirit loyalty to God
should be first, family second and
home and country third, but all so
closely interviewer and blended
as to be hard to distinguish one
from the other, and inseparable.
Love IS SO expansive that it can
take in the whole world, embrace
ing the entire human family; the
immediate family and fellow
toWnsmen being in closer contact,
are drawn nearer to us in our af-
fections, but they reach to citi-
zens OF our entire country and
thence to other nations, until we
embrace all in one common broth
erhood
Then why should we shed our
brothers blood? Seeing then
we are bound together thus by
kindred ties why should we har-
Dor malice. hatred and envy one
toward another, especially those
who recognize each other as the
children Of God, the source of all
light and life, to whom We owe
first and eduring allegiance, and
from whom all love is derived,
for He is Love ?-Ruston Leader.

CULTIVATE RELIABILITY

1t is always in demand and adds
to mans worth. The demand
for reliability never ceases. If
you buy a piece of machinery you
want it to be dependable. When
you purchase new clothes you de-
sire them to be durable. If you
select an official you require that
he shall be trustworthy. When
you take on an employee you in
qulre whether he can be relied
n, as to his word, his work his
loyalty. 1t is so in all the rela-
tions of life. While there is much
unreliability, you never hear of
anybody seeking it or placing a
premium upon it.
The reliable man is always
spoken of in terms of praise. His
friends boast that he can be de-
pended upon to do a certain
thing under a certain set of cir
cumstances without varia bleness
'or shadow Of turning. They say
they can find him in the dark and
can trust him then with the same
faith as in the broad light of day.
They refer to him as one whom
you can tie to. They have no
fears that he will either default
or betray. He has all the stead
mess and fidelity of a well trained
pillow horse. He may lack bril-
lance and finish. He may not be
a genius. But as far as his abili-
ties go he is as reliable as time it.

or less OF an institution in the

BE CAREFUL HOW YOU
KNOCK.

VI SCNCl d fCdlS We IldN tu
deavored to lay stress on tn,
tnoughtlessness of many of oul
citizens, who, while addressing
parties who enter our midst
either as visitor, or with an eye
to casting their lot with US, say
things that had better be left un
said in the presence of strangers
There is no doubt this commun-
ity has been innocently hurt by
the murmurings and expressions
that times are hard and pros
poets are dark for future prosper
ity. Iberia Parish at this partic-
ular time has the best prospects
tor bOunteOus crops this country
has ever seen, ana with the pres
ent prices for our products the
cry Of hard times will soon be for
gotten. 1t is true we need more
industries to give steady employ
ment to our artisans. Still there
is one thing certain and sure, if
We continue in our pessimistic
frame Of mind to knock the com
munity and those who are hope
full to better conditions, we can
never hope to see outside capt.
talists make investments in New
Iberia. They do not care to To-
cate and invest in communities
where there is constant knocking
and criticism among people
whose ever thought should be at
the other range Of the angle.
Only yesterday we interviewed
"a stranger who came to NewI IBERIA
with the sole intention Of renting
an office and opening a branch to
his large real estate business,
hoping thereby to locate settlers
upon our farm lands. Much to
eur establishment and surprise the
gentleman openly stated on the
streets that there was entirely too
much knocking among our citi-
zens for him to think Of going
into business here. He said ev-
erything that he could do to To-
cate new people on our lands
would be conteracted by persons
who did not realize the serious
ness of their act, and he could
not, for that reason contemplate
undergoing the expense of run
ming an office here. This is a
more serious matter than many
II our citizens realize and the
harm done can neser be effaced.
10 knock the community is an in
justice to all the citizens and
holders and the sooner
we make up our minds that we
must reverse the order Of the day
and begin to boost, the sooner
New Iberia will take it's rank
With other towns Of it's size.
AS We are ready to close our
brms for the press, We are COM
PEELED to be brief in calling the
attention of our citizens to their
shortcomings. However, we can
not but ask every one who has
The interest of the City at heart
10 cease such conversations, If
hey ever hope to see a change for /,
he better. If YOU do not care
10 boost, do not knock.
