ERRONEOUS GOSSIP.

It being currently rumored for
several weeks that the charter OF
the New Iberia High School would
be withdrawn from the Parish
School Board, Mr.. Gall 0. Pharr
addressed a communication to
State Superintendent Harris at
Baton Rouge making inquiry OF
the intent of the State authorities
relative to the school in question
which brought forth the sub
joined reply:
"The New Iberia High School
is a State approved high school,
in good standing, enjoying all of
the rights and privileges of other
State approved high schools.
Your letter is the first news that
has reached me to the effect that
there is any question about the
standing of that institution"
What motive any one could
have had for putting into circu-
lation a story of that kind, we
are at a loss to know. The pub
lie school system Of our Parish
under the supervision of the Pai
ish School Board meet the general
appreciation of the people gen
orally. At no time in the history
of the Parish have we had men
on our Board who were more con-
scientious in the performance of
their duty than those now com
posing the present School Board,
and the Superintendent Of th4
Schools, together with his corps
of competent teachers all vie with
one another towards the one ac
complishment that Of making our
schools the equal of any in the
State. ~,

PARC PERDUE NOTES.

Rains continue daily in this see
ton and the cotton farmers are
beginning to feel some uneasiness
regarding the cotton crop. What
gave promise at one time of
splendid cotton crop, now appears
to be less than a fair crop. The
boil Weevils are now in full pos
session of the cotton fields and the
infectation is terrible to witness.
No more cotton blooms are visible
in the cotton fields. Some report
cotton shedding and forms falling
to an alarming extent, chiefly ow-
ing to the ravages Of the boil wee
vii. Rains from now on will de-
lay cotton picking and injure the
staple. Old Jupe ought to let up
for awhile.
There will be a pretty fair corn
crop made in this section of the
Parish.
The cane crops are making ex-
cellent progress and with favor
able autumn weather, there is ev-
cry promise of a good yield.
Daily rains are retarding the
harvesting of the rice crop. The
rice crop suffered some loss from
the excessive rains of the past two
weeks.
Many farmers report that we are
having too much now to insure n
good sweet potato crop.
Is it now awful how provisions
and other commodities are going
up and if this Europeon war con-
tinues much longer, what will the
poor man do next year to secure
the necessary means to provide
for himself and family.

On Wednesday evening while
in the act Of putting down a water
well at the derrick Of the J. S.
Suttle well, the gas interfered so
much with the driller that work
had to be temporary abandoned
upon reaching the depth of 165
feet. A dry grey sand was en-
countered that showed splendid
oil indications. In company with
Mr. Suttle and others we scribe
visited the spot where the derrick
is erected and witnessed the gas
ignition upon applying a match
to it. The flame shot up some two
feet high in one particular place
and several inches in the other
small holes that was made with a
stick. In the party was an oil ex
pert who went there with the in
tention of taking a bottle of gas
and in this he succeeded admir-
ably. Several large pieces Of
paraphine soil was brought to Us
by the negro man John Cranier,
the owner Of the land where the
well is to be drilled. All Of the
machinery is in it's place and sew
eral thousand feet of piping ready
to be shot into mother earth and
it begins to look like that section
of the country will also soon be
considered an oil field the equal
of that at Olivier. At Petite Ba-
you we are informed new loca-
tons have been made by the Gulf
Sun and Producer corporations.
I'm fact several new crews from
the Texas field have already ar
rived here to begin more opera
tions and within few weeks the
development will soon be in full
blast. This will be good news to
the people generally who are in
terested in the Petite Bayou felC
as it will give employment to sew
eral hundred men at remunera-
tive wages. The we'll of the Gulf
is still throwing out daily some
one hundred barrels Of as fine fluid
as taken from any field in the
State and within the next sixty
or ninety days it is more than
probable another well will be
brought forth to the qualification
lof the landholders.
No. 666 will cure Chills and
Fever. 1T is the most speedy rem-
edy we know.

We Are Generally
With the Colonel, But He
Is Very Wrong This Time

The lower house Of congress has, by a
vote of ITO to LOG, refused permission To
Theodore Roosevelt to lead a personally
conducted command into France to place
the American flag on the firing line i'm
MEE-jutly
Congress has done exactly as it should
have done, for several reasons.
One of these reasons is the program
for participation in the world war as
OUTLINED.
That program is not subject to change
TO accommodate the ambitions of indi-
viduals
Another reason is the draft which
aims at keeping certain of our citizens
at home and on hand in places where
they are particularly needful.
To think that we could spare the
Colonel away from home for an indef-
mite period is entirely out Of the ques-
ton
War is a very serious thing and
SOMEBODY must remain behind to en-
terrain US.
Suppose, for instance, that the war
should continue beyond the date of the
next Republican national convention.
What a dull and listless thing a Re
publican national convention would be
without the Colonel on hand to enliven
the occasion.
We cannot think Of it.
We could not afford it.
We are exactly as much afraid of that
Old Guard steam roller as we are of
Prussianism, and without T. R. on hand,
what perfectly lovely time that steam
roller would have in 1920.
Besides, there's Armageddon if the
Colonel wants personal command, and
is just as willing as ever to battle for
the Lord"
Col Roosevelt insists that he has been
misunderstood
"No man can misunderstood my posi-
ton unless he deliberately chooses to do
so" he says.
There the Colonel is wrong again.
Nobody misunderstands him.
The trouble is, EVERYBODY is
ONTO him. bigger'n a woodchuck.
Most Of all His Exceliency. the Presi-
dent Of these United States. who is also
Democrat.

The War Department
Should Hear and Grant
This Appeal of Mothers

It is timely and wisely considered &C
ton that has been taken by the Detroit
Federation of Womens Clubs in their pc
tition to the war department for protec-
ton for the sons OF mothers who go TO
war, against the vampire foe.
The story of war. as history tells it, is
always most incomplete.
It's losses are told in dollars and cents
and in the number Of men killed, wound
ed and taken prisoner.
Nothing is said in il about young men
who left their homes with bright, clean
minds and healthy, strong bodies, who
went thru untouched by bullets but who
returned poisoned and weakened for life
and a menace to their succeeding gener-
ations.
That is the part Of the story of war
which Detroit mothers seek to have elm
mated in giving their sons to the flag,
and in their petition to the war depart
ment they say:
1--WE ARE SACRIFICING TO CO.
OPERATE WITH YOU; WE WANT
YOUR COOPERATION WITH US.
I'VE ARE EXPOSING THEM TO
CANNON FIRE; WE ARE NOT CALL
ED UPON TO EXPOSE THEM TO
WORSE THAN CANNON FIRE"
And it is the duty of the war depart
ment of our country to heed this petit
ton.
Armies can be made safe from the
vampires who follow them.
The two-mile dead-hne thru martial
law, suggested by the federation in its
appeal, ought to do it.
If that fails, the Imprisonment Of the
women camp followers would make GER
tain of it.
They are a part Of the enemy.
It is the governments duty to offer
moral and physical protection for our
young men and for our country against
this most vicious foe
