As I am in the race for County Superintendent of Public In struction, and as I am busily en, gagged in school work, and will have no chance of seeing all my friends personally, 1 take this method of calling their attention to the fact that I will appreciate their vote and influence.
 I have put my life and efforts in the work. 1 have labored in- cessantly for twenty eight years. at all times leaving self and self ish interests in the background.
 If experience and effort merit the peoples approval, then l have it.
 I know nothing about wire work and political pull and care less.
 If elected it will be because the people want a man who un- derstands the principles that un derlie the great fabric of intel lectual development and has the moral courage to carry his con victions into practice
 If the people see fit to place in me this the most important trust within their power to give, they shall never have cause to regret.
 I shall stand for an efficient teaching force, regardless of friend or foe.
 I regard an efficient teacher, not as one who is making teach ing a stepping stone to more In crative positions, but as one who is wiling to sacrifice every self, ish interest on the alter of char acter building, one who is in spired to action by the highest

VOORHEES, BURKE.

On Saturday, April 10th at
high noon in st. Peters Catholic
church were married Miss Ro-
berta Burke and Mr.. Francis j.
VOORHEES, all of New Iberia.
There is nothing half so sweet
in life, as loves young dream,
unless it be, Gas in this maria ge)
a full realization. One can say
earnestly at this wedding with
out being profane, "whom God
has joined together no man
can put assunder. In their baby
hood in the kindergarten their
congeniality was always seen. The
graceful sweet voicei little
maiden could not drop her blocks
or her pencils, but the manly lit
tie playmate was promptly by her
side to pick up and restore. In
the merry circle games, where
choice was to be made of part
ners, there was always the same
selection. AS years rolled on.
social interests clustered around
the very popular young people.
They enjoyed the merry making
fun and frolic as much as any
body hut, always, with quiet dig
nifty true to each other as the
needle to the pole" And so.
when the Angelus called to
prayer, and the wedding company
assembled. there seemed to be a,
satisfaction in the smiling faces
that this was one of the maria ees
made in Heaven, so it must be
all right. The ushers were the
young brothers of the bride, Don
aid and Perry Burke, and life
long friend, Glen Binnings,
whose family lived in New Ibe-
ria a few years ago. whose faith
er was very prominent in church
and business circles, and is still
remembered with much esteem.
The best man was the brother Of
the groom, Sidney VOORHEES,, and
the two brides maids, Miss Lii

and Marjorie Burke, sister of the
fair bride wore lace gowns and
