GAMBLING WITH FATE.

A pedestrian, often a grown
man, will start out to walk to
some place across the railroad
track; sees train coming, he is
in a hurry and he tries to beat
the train over the crossing; he
generally succeeds, but some
times he does not, and whether he
does or not he is gambling with
fate.
Boys climb onto moving trains
which is a violation of law, and
Jump off. They generally sue

with a few bruises occasionally
they get off with a broken limb
and sometimes they lose their
lives, which they risk every time
they do such things.
People il: buggies, motor ears
and on horseback race with trains
at grade crossing, risking a wreck
and death or injury, which often
results from this gambling with
fate, but their kind do not heed>
the warning, going blindly on to-

In hundreds of ways they

THE P, L. RENOUDET LUMBER
COMPANY,

The news that the P. L. Rem
oudet Lumber Company Of this
CITY had consummated deal of
| 5000 acres of valuable timber
| land in the State Of ississippi.
which cost approximately a half
million Of dollars was gratifying
to the people Of New Iberia. who
were somewhat apprehensive that
the scarcity of timber would
mean the shutting down of the
biggest industry we have in our
midst. The land fronts on the
Mississippi river near Natchez,
and will be tOwed here as fast as
it is required by the mill to meet
the demands of the trade through
out the country. 1t is said to be
one Of the few remaining large
tracts of virgin cypress in that
section. For several months we
knew that Mr.. George Cousin.
manager Of the p. L. Renoudet
Lumber Company was investigat-
inc the timber in those swamps
with a view Of having the Com
pany, which he represents, make
the purchase, and we are more
than. pleased to announce that
this large deal will give them
timber to operate the
mill here for at least ten years,
assuring steady employment for
a number Of our people familiar
with saw mill work and we dare
say many Of our citizens who left
here when this big mill was com
pelled to shut down will seek /,
their same old positions both on
the yards and in the mill proper.
Mr.. Cousin is having the machin-
cry Overhauled and otherwise put
INTO shape to begin as soon as the
first drag is brought here. The
,imber will be foated down the
Mississippi and thence through
he locks at Plaquemine and on
lp the Teche to this point. /.

ST. MARY HELPS OUT OUR
PARISH FAIR.

At the recent meeting Of the
Police Jury in St. Mary Parish
it was decided by the members
of that official body that the ap-
preparation Of the State, which is
,$25C.OO would be donated to the
Teche Fair Association for the
conduct and expense of the Fair
to be held here the latter part
of the month. In other words it
will be practica ally a joint Fair.
This understanding was brought
about by the presence in St. Mary
at the meeting of the Police Jury
of DIR. J. A. Goodwin and Sec
retary Bernard. It is their in
tention to also interest the good
people of St. Martinville to join
with Iberia and St. Mary and
make the Fair one of the biggest
attractions ever held in the State
outside of Shreveport: All of the
arrangements are now
being made for the buildings and
floor space and Mr.. R. A. Jacob
and Secretary Bernard are ex-
;eedingly busy arranging space
for the exhibits that is ex-
pected. Sheds are to be erected
N Weeks, st. Peter and Julia
Streets for the accommodation of
whatever live stock that is to be |
brought in from the Parish and
District and we are told that the
'ntries already received far ex-
eed expectations. BY reason of
he interest st. Mary and St. Mar
in will take in the exhibits, there
s no doubt the attendance will
'e double that of last year. No
ntrance or fee for either admit
ance or entry is one of the draw
ng cards and the board of direc-
ors knew what they were doing
7hen they decided to make every
hing free for both exhibitors and

OUR FRIEND-THE HORSE,

Notwithstanding the great pro
duction Of motor-driven vehicles
our good old friend, the horse
and his sometimes recalcitran1
cousin, the mule, seem to hold
their own.
The Rockford Republic, whose
editor is something Of a statis-
tican, says: "Statistics of the
Department of Agriculture show
that at the beginning of this
year there were 21,166,0OO hor-
ses on farms, 1865, 900 mules and
3,182,7O9 horses in the cities, a
total of 28,913, 100. In 1890, in
round numbers, there were H.
100000 horses on farms in the
United States, and in 1900 there
were 100000.
"The value of the horses and
mules in the country is $3,032,-
292, 600, while the 100000 auto
mobiles in the country are worth
81 ,260, 100000. In other words
and let the automobile dealers
take careful note Of this-the hor-
ses and mules in the United States
are worth three times as much as
the value of the automobiles.
:" If all horses died to-mor-
row. we should probably starve
to death, says the treasurer of
The Massachusetts Protective AS
ISOLATION for Horses. I'VE depend
upon the horse for what we eat
and for what we wear
with the friendly horse play
ing so valuable a part in our
economic system, let us all treat
his useful animal with kindness
md consideration. During the
lot summer months especially all
persons driving horses should
'emember that the dumb and
patient animal feels the heet

Dear Sir-By order of the Pres
ident, there will he special meet
ing of the iberia Parish School
Board Tuesday. Sept. 5, 1916 at
two O'Clock P. NJ.
At this meeting, action will be
taken on the matter Of disposing
of the timber on this Board s
school lands.
The members Of the committee
appointed to have charge of the
disposal of the said timber are
especially urged to be present.
Yours very truly,
L. A. WALLET, Secty.
On motion of Minvielle, sec

with.
Concerning the matter of the
proper disposal Of the timber on
this Boards school lands, Mr..
Vaughn, in behalf Of Mr..
Hcwes Of the Jeanerette Lumber
Co.. presented the following tenta-
i've proposition to the Board for
is considerations:
Mr.. Hewes of the Jeanerette
lumber Co., tentatively agrees to
purchase the School Boards cy-
,ress and tupelo timber on Secs.
6, on East side of Bayou Teche,
It price netting to the Board
800 per NJ. feet for cypress, and
so per NJ. feet for tupelo; said
imber to be floated, provided
here is sufficient water, in one,
wo and three years; it being dis
inctly understood that the said
1r. Hewes binds himself, after
to float all of the mer-
hantable cypress and tupelo TIM ,
er from said school lands within
hree years, market price being
'uaranteed to the Board for any
lechantable cypress and tupelo
mber left on said lands at the
xpiration Of said time; it being :
nrther understood that fiom |
10000 to 100000 worth of tim $
er is to be floated the first year, a
proportionate amount the Sec t
I'd and the third years, until all
the merchantable cypress and r
lpelo timber shall have been t

hich this Board is to receive be- $

d depth of eight to fifteen inches, OF
more, and gives rise at frequent in
tervals to leafy shoots. Thus it will
often be found that an entire patch OF
thistles is attached to one root, anu
is in reality but one plant. The root
is exceedingly hIrdy, and can live
over winter or through Il prolonged
drought in q dormant condition. Pieces
of the root that are broken off by a
pillow or cultivatOr and carried to other
places will await a warm, moist
period, and then begin to send up
leafy shoots, thus establishing new
patch forthwith. If the leafy stems
are cut down, others will be sent up
to take their place, and this process
may be repeated from two to eight
times before the root becomes c1.
hausted.
The point that must be kept in mind
in fighting Canada thistles is that it
is the roots, rather than the tops, that
must be killed. Simply cutting off
the tops few times has much the
same effect as pruning an apple tree
But if the tops are cut off deep and
frequently, the root must eventually
suffocate through LACK of leaves.

CANADA THISTLE PEST
Prickiy Plant Is Found in Almost
Every Part Of Country.
Nc Other Weed Has Ever Received
So Much Unfavorable Attention.
Roots, Rather Than Tops,
Must Be Destroyed.

In the states north of the Ohio
river, probably no plant bears such a
bad reputation as does the so-called
Canada thistle. This marvelously
prickly plant abounds in grain fields,
pastures, and meadows throughout the
central West, and is locally common
in the northeastern states. It is
found in parts of West Virginia, Ken
lucky, and Missouri, and of late years
has been increasingly troublesome in
the grain-growing sections Of the
Northwest. Canada thistle, OF simply
"thistle," has been condemned in the
laws of 25 states, and at least one
hundred local communities, no other
three plants together having received
so much unfavorable attention. Ger
tainly no plant is more generally and
heartily disliked, unless it be the sanG
bur of the southern coastal plain.
The cause of the remarkable vital
ity of Canada thistle and the point
that distinguishes it from other prick
ly plants that are commonly mistaken
for it is the long cordlike perennial
root. This root penetrates the soil At

WHY CHILDREN RUN AWAY
Not Mere Naughtiness That Starts
Riddles on the Road to Ad-
venture Land.

When little Willie runs away to
ride the brake beams, to become a
hunter Of the wild Apache, or mnyhap
a Jesse James; when curly-headed
Mary tOdtlles far from home with her
dOllie, the mother usually attributes
their truancy to "mere naughtincss
or bad companions, or maybe original
sin.
But the children's motive, accord
ing to investigators, is the same as
that which makes their parents visit
Europe or their uncle John start Off
Oh 4 hunting trip. The causes
ascribed for these various actions are
usually quite different from the real
cause, which is the primitive racial In
stinct to wander-an instinct so deep
seated that it is found in lower AMI
mails as we'll as in man.
We all have it, presumably, but
some Of us are more enmcshcd by con-
ventiOnalities and the habits Of civ
ilized society that we never really re-
spond to the Turing call Of the wild
or the blind impulses to start off some
where-nO matter where. Others are
so attuncd to this instinct that only
lock and key can keep them in one
place.
