THE FIGHT Is ON.

The successful National Prohibi
ton Rally held Oh Tuesday night
has inspired the local Anti-Sa.
loon workers with confidence that
the day is not far distant when
the fight should be on" in real
earnest in this Parish. Never n
the history of the Parish has the
question been submitted to the
voters. SO that the whole mat
ter has been going the way the
saloon men have wanted it. Il
is high time to put our Parish in
line with this progressive move.
ment. The power to call an elec.
ton is in the hands of the Police
Jury whether petition is pre-.
sented or not. Could we call an
election for April of this year,
it is almost certain we could have
Iberia Parish dry for 1916.
What is needed is a band 81
determined men who will go into
just that kind of a fight. Tha
undersigned stands ready to 20
into that kind Of movement. and
he wants to hear from Others.
This not to be a political move
for any party or faction hut q
patriotic move for the betterment
of our Parish. and we invite all
OF the good people of Iberia to
come forward and join us in the
Prohibition movement irrespec-
tive of their other political opin-
ions.
There are many men in the
Parish who know that this is the
thing to do. They have said 50
time and again. The very con-
ditiOns that surround the saloons
at this time demands this. The
time has come to act and take 8
stand for prohibition.

so FAR WE ARE FORTUNATE

Few of our people realize the
great loss in live stock since the
Foot and Mouth disease has in
tested some Of the Eastern ana
Western States up to Janr airy
LIST of the present year. While
we are not immune from the Foot
and Mouth disease that is destroy
ing so much cattle. yet how fort
innate we are In escaping it. Char
bon which is common in this coun
try cannot be compared with the
Foot and Mouth disease and wer4
our owners of stock to use vac
cine at the proper time there
would never be any more Charbon
in this section. One animal suf-
fering from the Foot and Mouth
trouble can effect millions. within
few months. In the State of
Illinois alone it was necessary III
to the first Of the year to destroy
$40 herd. which was comoosed OF
1864 cattle, also 22.415 swine,
SIG sheep and II goats. The loss
in dollars and cents in animals
put to death and buried in that
State totalling $1,201 ,27G.73.

THE PROHIBITION MEETING

On Tuesday evening last sew.
eral hundred citizens from all
over the Parish assembled at the
Elk Theatre to hear the lecture
of the Rev. Sam Small of Georgia
on the movement to make Pro
hibition State. as well as Ma
tional issue. Like meetings arc
also being held in different parts
Of the State by such prominent
men as Ex-Governor Pattison Of
Tennessee: Albert Banks of the
State of Ohio and others equally
rs noted, The meeting was called
to order by Rev. Lutz of the
Methodist church. after which in
vocation was said by the Rev.
Mr.. Paradis of the Presbyterian
church. The chairman, Rev. r.
r. Diggs of the Epiphany church
then made few appropriate re-
marks introducing Mr.. Small as
one of the greatest lecturers OF the
Prohibition cause in the United
States. The lecturer spoke for
near onto two hours and not for
one second did any Of the listen
crs lose interest in the subject.
Mr.. Small made many converts
to the cause of Prohibition and
many attested their willingness
to join the movement which has
been launched to make iberia a
Prohibition Parish. There has
been for many years a strong
sentiment to force Prohibition
upon the people of our Parish and
it would not surprise us one bit
to see Iberia in the dry column
before 1918. However, Mr..
Lutz stated very emphatically at +,
the meeting the fight is now on
and on to stay until the Parish
goes dry.

OUT OF TOWN SUBSCRIBERS

It being an expensive plan to
send collector through the Par
ish, we are going to ask our sub
scribers. both in and out of New
Iberia to mail us the amounts due
for subscription to The Enter
prise at their earliest convenience.
1t Is just as easy to send in the
amount due which will be saw
ing to us of many dollars in com
missions. We dislike dunning
those III arrears, but circumstan-
ces as well to the Law compels
Us to insist upon payment.

DEMAND FOR OUR PRODUCTS

Aside from fact that we have
had for the past three months q
large number Of buyers repre-.
senting commission houses in diff
eerent parts Of the country pur-
chasing sweet potatoes, syrup and
corn at fairly good prices, almost
weekly inquiries continue to come
making demands for more of our
products. This week Mr.. e. j.
Carstens, the secretary Of the Ibc-
via Truck Growers received the
following letter from the Kent
wood Canning & Preserving Co. !:
Jan. 22d, 1915.
Dear Sir-Will you kindly adj
wise US if there is quantity Of
Southern Queen Potatoes around
your section, and if so at what
prices can they he bought.
This shows how important it is
that our farmers raise in large
quantities. We can never hope
Tor buyers to come into this ter
fitory until we raise truck on the
wholesale scale. Buyers will
never go into q country that has
not got the quantity and once
Iberia raises these things in
large quantities there will be no
trouble in getting rid of our pro-
ducts and at prices that will be
profitable. The more buyers we
have to bid against one another
the better of our farmers will
be and it not only behooves them
20 plant heavily, but learn to wait
until the market prices are such
that there will be a large profit
left after the expenses Of raising
and harvesting is deducted. Corn
Is now bringing as much as $3.50
per barrel whereas at the begin
ming Of the season as little as 9Oc
was paid for the cereal.

GERMANY's ANSWER NDECIsIyE

WASHINGTON, May 29.-It was learned officially here this afternoon that Ambassador Gerard has received the answer of the German government to the protests and demands made by the United States has also been of ciay stated that the answer avoids decisive statement It admits the attack the American ship GuAight and also says the Cushing was attacked but offers to pay compensation if Germany is proven to have made the at tacks without justification.
 The full text of the reply will not be known today but sufficient has been learned of its tenor to make it clear that Germany has no intention of granting the American demands at least without further pareys The belief has been expressed here by newspapers and prominent nd vduas that Gernanys plan probably will be to postpone the bringing of the matter to head until the feeling aroused by the sinking of the Lustania has grown less bitter when it may happen that the United States will not press its demands.

GERMANY ANSWERS UNITED STAIESB NOT DECISIVELY
ALL-ALASKA REVIEW
 SELLS IN HUNDREDS,
Every One Seems to be Anxious to Show Their Friends What
 Seward Looks Like.

The sale of the first issue of the An-Alaska Review has surpassed even the most sanguine expectations. The issue is now dwindling fast as people have manifested a most pleasing de- sire to send out the Review to friends to show them the kind of town and country in which they live. Large numbers have also been sent out for sale to San Francisco, Seattle anu other cities, as well as to the cities in the territory itself but the direct sale here is really wonderful and shows what a splendid field Alaska provides for such a publication. Hun dreds of additional copies have been ordered sent out on the next mail and great as the number of the issue was it will hardly be large enough.
