IN MEMORIAM

Whereas, the Supreme Maste
of the Universe, in his all-wis
, providence, has seen fit to clos
the book Of life of our late la
mented brother, DR.. Isaac 7. Rant
on May 14th, 1915, and to visi
us with keen personal sorrow IL
his untimely death, at time, We
were hoping that the sands Of his
hour glass We're but half-spent
therefore
Be it Resolved. That the mem
bers of p. NJ. Dickerson Lodge
No. 66 |. O. O. F. recognize the in
eXorable decree of a cruel fate,
which has turned the sunshine
and hope Of his home into dark
ness and dispair-which has
hushed the CHEEKY voice of but
yesterday by the winding sheet of
succeeding days of sorrow-caus-
ing aching hearts to sit in gloom,
longing for the football echoes
that neved again shall be awak.
ened, and where the vacant chair
at the family table shall be a
constant reminder Of him who
shall not return.
BE it further resolved; That
we recognize in the life he lived
before God and man, in his sew
eral stations of trust and honor,
an example which we may study
with profit and emulate to our
lasting advantage.
BE It further resolved; That it
IS our earnest desire that the fam
lily may be able to trace a silver
lining to this appalling. cloud Of
grief which overshadows their
lives and fills their future with
forebodings and may they find
sweet consolation in an unfalter-
ing faith in the will of him who
notes the falling of the sparrow.
Be it further Resolved; that d
copy OF these resolutions be trans
nltted to the .bereaved family,
)ne to the local press and that
another copy be spread upon a
page OF our records, set apart for
hat purpose.

THE MODEL ROAD TO AVERY
ISLAND.

1t was our pleasure this wee
IN company with Messrs. Edwar
Estor2e, A. C. Bernard, Mauric
Lemaire and DR.. w. F. Carstens t
visit the scene Of activity Of tn
Model Road which is being con
structed by the Police Jury from
the plank road at Avery ISLAND
to New Iberia. This will, whel
completed be one Of the fines
model dirt roads in the State OF
Louisiana, barring none, if the re
mainder Of the five miles is com
pleted in the same manner as that
now finished, which is about one
mile in length. The thoroughfare
has on either side excellent drains,
six feet deep, which will not only
drain the road bed, but hundreds
OF acres Of land at that particular
point that is often inundated II
times of wet weather. All of the
water will be carried to the canals
leading to Petite Anse Bayou, thus
affording great relief to the
land owners Whereabouts. The
work is being conducted under
the supervision Of Mr.. William
Lourd who is an expert in road
building and the ditching machine
is being manipulated by Mr.. Mar
lin Turner who knows how to OBJ
tain results from the machine.
Right here we wish to again com
pliment the Police Jury on the
purchase of the ditcher and road
builder combined as it is undoubt-
eddy one Of the best investments
they could have made. The high
way is about forty feet in width
and makes a sli chit curve on the
south side Of the mercantile store |

IBERIA POULTRY ASSOCIA-
TON ORGANIZED.

, Monday, May II "a number o.
our leading poultry enthusiasts
met and formed the Iberia Poul
try Association.
/ This Association has for its oh
Ject: Better poultry anG more
of it,
The need for such an associa-
ton has long been felt here IN
Iberia and we have no doubt that
there is a great field f II the WORK
that such an association can ac-
cOmplish.
/ The pouiiHv business mas de-
veloped to billions Of dollars III
the United States and it is no
longer considered child-play, but
a scientific industry, which form.
a big part Of our Commercial De
veloDment.
That the profits on the average
could easily be doubled and
trippled, by little care and at
tention and the application of the
fundamental rules and principles
Of science, there is not the sli CHIT
est doubt, whe we review the
great strides made by some of
the states, their poultry industry
is ranking right along with their
agricultural and industrial at
tainments from a financial stand
point. The possibilities are great
here in Louisiana and an associa-
ton which will stimulate greater
interest and cooperation among
the people of this Parish in the
and marketing Of fine
poultry is an institution that
should Re encouraged.
The gentlemen in this associa-
ion are not only commercial
ooultrymen and not only raise ,
Utility stock but several of them

'tock equal to any in the State, ,
indeed several having already
demonstrated their right to title

ONE of them being Messrs. James

s the quantity of it that will be

MORE ABOUT COMMISSION
GOVERNMENT.

In his recent circul opposin
the Commission Government {
Parish affairs, our friend, Repre-
sentative /. A. Moresi, permit
his zeal for the public welfare t
lead him to false conclusions a
to the comparative cost Of tn
Police Jury and proposed Com
mission system.
Mr.. Moresi quotes from Ac
100 of 1914. that THE Board o
Commissioners may employ anc
appoint such subordinates anC
assistants as it may be deemed
necessary, and at compensations
to be fixed by majority OF the
votes of the board' and then
concludes that, although the Po-
lice Jury. vested with these very
same powers, has never abused of
it or thrown away public moneys
On unnecessary employees; that
whomsoever would be elected as
commissioners would forthwith
begin to piiage the treasury. for
which purpose is not apparent.
But to use Mr.. Moresi's figures :
First. The salaries of the Com
missioners 100000. This is cor
rect and is adequate pay for those
who would fill the places
Second. One clerk ito the
Board at $4,000. The duties of
this person are not defined by Mr..
Moresi. nor can we conceive of
them. Reference to this same
Act 100 of 1914 we find in the
third paragraph of section 4 which
defined the duties of the Com
missioner Of Finance these clos
ing words: "He shall be ex-of-
fcio clerk Of the Board of Com
missioners Surely the duties of
such a position could not require
an additional $4,000 man.
Third. Two clerks for the 9th
er Commissioners $4,000. Again
We are at a loss to know what
duties would be performed byI
these. The supervision of consruc-
ton and maintenance of public
roads which would devolve upon !
the Commissioner Of Public In
would certainly not
require clerical assistance invol- I
wing an expenditure of 100000;
while the other $4,000 would
have to be a present to the lucky
individual as Mr.. Moresi liberal
Iy provides $4,000 in his next
item, for payment of two assist
ants for making the assessment
which would be in the province of

The last item charge is that of ,

lgures he correct. that last named (
