STOPS MAKING BREAD

Norristown, Pa Jan. 19.-One of
the biggest bakers in Norristown, Will
liam Schwartz, gave notice to his
patrons that ''the baking of bread, in
all it's varieties, including rolls and
breakfast cakes" would be discon-
tinued. "In the future" reads the no
tice, I'VE will give our whole attention
to fancy cakes, pastry and deserts"

STANDING UP AND
FOLLOWING AFTER
International Sunday School
Lesson on First
Disciples"
(By William II. Ellis.))

SIX men sat in council upon grave
international question. The issues of
the little gathering might be-indeed,
proved to be-portentous, for a call
to the Christian manhood of TIE coun-
try was in contemplation. The six
men all expressed themselves as in
explicit and complete agreement.
When 1t came to signing the docu-
ment that had been agreed upon, one
man, an eminent ecclesastic, said he
would like one night more for COLI
sideration. The next morning he sent
work that he would not sign. He was
AFRAID to stand up and be counted.
lie vigorously expressed convictions
OF the day before could not weigh
against expediency All his life lie
had sought to be on the side of the
majority vote. Therefore, in one of
the great testing times, he could not
forsake all and follow his gleam.
Ihen, to crown all, the tragedy was
turned into comedy by the later de-
VelopmentS for the ecclesiastical
politician had guessed wrong, and
the big crowd proved to be on the
side of the statement he Lad been
afraid to sign!
Incidents of this sort are enacted
every day and every hour. AIriads
are constantly in the valley of deci-
sion.
once TO every man and nation comes
the moment to decide,
In the strife of Truth with Falsehood,
Tor the good or evil side;
Some great cause, Gods new Messiah
offering each the bloom or
blight,
Parts the goats upon the left hand,
and the sheep upon the right;
Ana the choice goes by forever twiXt
that darkness and that light:
Daring to Decide
In matters moral and spiritual,
there can be no neutrals once a
great question Of right and duty is
faced it must be answered. Any at
tempt to evade it is in itself an an
Swer. Never was the world so full of
challenges to decision as now. Op-
portunely, this Sunday School lesson
upon decision comes to fortify the
souls of youth: for it is youth that
has the courage to make great deci-
sions, and to leave all and follow a new
allegiance. The radiance of the cour-
age and loyalty and self-abnegation
of the millions of soldiers in Europe,
who have dared to make all sacri-
fees for what they believe to be 10y
atty. may not be overlooked as we
contemplate the darker side of war
In the case of the half dozen young
men whose life choices we glimpse in
the present lesson, Jesus of Nazareth
represented to them the call to the
best possible expression of them
selves. Two of them, at least, for
sook the second-best for the best |
Three of them brought dear ones into |
the same discipleship of the new Mas
ter. In so doing, they all found a
newness and greatness of life that
passed their imagination.
IF ] find Him, If I follow,
What His guerdon here?
Many sorrow, many a labor
Many a tear
IF ] still hold closely to Him,
What hath He at last?
Sorrow vanquished, labor ended,

Finding, following, keeping, strug-
Cling,

Saints, apostles, prophets, martyrs,
Answer, Yes"

THE BANKERS CONVEN-
TION.

The annual convention OF Group
+ C., Louisiana Bankers Association
took place in New Iberia on last
Thursday evening at the Court
House, with something like one
( hundred or more delegates III at
attendance. The parishes repre-
scented were Acadia, Allen, Boure-
gard, Calcasieu, Cameron, Iberia,
| jefferson Davis, Lafayette St.
artin, st. Mary, Nermilion and
Vernon. II was undoubtedly one
of the most successful sessions OF
the Louisiana Bankers Association
that has ever taken place III this
State. The banks Of Iberia Par
ish, namely the Citizens Bank OF
Jeanerette, First National Bank
of Jeanerette, Bank Of Loreau-
Vile, New Iberia National Bank,
Peoples National Bank and the
State National Bank affected all
the arrangements that made 1t
such a success. The committee
Of arrangements composed OF
Messrs. Jules Dreyfus. Ed. l.. Es-
forge, Chas. Gouguenheim, Lazard
King, Chas. l.. Provost and T. Il.
Renoudet did everything possible
TO Give the delegates a royal time
while they were our guests. The
Convention met at the Court
House and after the roll call, sew
eral interesting talks on banking
bv prominent members were
made after which the entire de'-
egation were taken in aut omoolles
which had been provided for !he.
occasion. to the oil fields East
of New Iberia. This over, they
were then escorted to seEeral m
tcresting places in the Parish I'D
returned to our City. At seven
0 clock sharp arrangements were
then made to escort them to the
Club House on our beautiful
Spanish Lake where a feast was
in waiting. During the banquet
several addresses were made and
wit and humor was in evidence
all during the repast. The gen
cral impression is that every del
egate who was present on this oc-
casion left New Iberia well IN
pressed with the hospitality of
our citizens and our ability to
make strangers welcome when
they come to New Iberia.

VISITORS DAY AT LIVE
STOCK FARM.

You and your friends are cor
daily invited to visit the Iberia
Live Stock Experiment Farm on
Monday, April 2 ,1917. In order
to give planters, and any others
who may be interested, an oppor-
tunity to inspect the equipment,
livestock and crops of the station,
and especially to examine the cat
tie in our feeding tests before they
are shipped to market, it has
been decided to hold a Visitor S
Dav on April 2
1t has been a little more then
two years since the approprla-
ton for the establishment of
livestock experiment farm in the
cane sugar. and cotton districts OF
the South became available. Since
then a great deal of our time has
been occupied in the organization
of forces, the installation of the
equipment. and the construction
of buildings. While this prelim-
mary work has been under way
we have found time to make prac-
teal tests that we believe are of
interest 10 sugar planters These
tests include comparative work
records of brood mares and mules,
also the costs to date Of rearing
mule colts when the usual feeds
available on the farm are used. II
addition to this. we now have
swine on experiment and six lots
of steers on feed. One of these

JUDGE MARTIN rs NOW
BACK HOME

Judge w. p. Martin, congress-
man from this district, over
whose seat in Congress there is
still a chance Of contest on the
part of the Democrats is again
home, after completing the session
just adjourned in Washington
March Bird. Judge Martin had
not anticipated the extra session
would be called as early as it has,
the fact is the call only issued
after he had reached Louisiana.
While he anticipated an carly
call, no one really thought it
would be as early as it is.
The closeness Of the last elec-
ton makes it imperative that
Judge Martin should come back
home and look over the situation,
the field, and keep in touch with
his constituents, for when the spe-
cial session starts, if all predic-
tions be correct, he should be
kept in Washington until approx
imately August 1918, so there
would be little opportunity to see
the voters previous to the 1918
run, unless the Wade @. Martin
contest is carried TO a fnality,
when more opportunity would be
offered him. We have not how
ever heard anything further re
garding the contest since it has
been assumed Judge Martin
would vote for Champ Clark

NEW MATERIAL FOR PAPER.

The Southern hufallSt- one Oh
/ the best journals Of its kind III the
United States, published at At
lanta, Ga. contained the article
hereto annexed which we repro
! duce IN full to give our readers an
idea of the advertising our little
CITY is receiving as a consequence
of the establishment here Of a pul p
making plant. 1t will be some
two months yet before this indus
try is in full operation, consuming
our raw products which IS so
plentiful in this section, and
which virtually goes to waste at
the present time. In order to show
our people just what could be
done with our common rice straw,
Mr.. w. F. Giles. who has charge
of that branch of the industry, this
week made some Of the finest
fibre that has ever been seem. 1t
was cooked in an ordinary kettle
and samples of it shipped to diff
ferent parts of the country to
show some of the stockholders in
the enterprise how perfectly rice
straw could be utilized in the ma
king of high grade pulp to be aft
erwards manufactured in fine
grades of paper. Mr.. A. c. Ber
nard. the Superintendent who
gathered some bagasse from the
sugar mills when they were III op-
Grafton last Dee ember, informed
us that they would turn out
few samples this week also to be
shipped to parties interested IN
this enterprise.
A large number Of employees
are engaged erecting warehouses
and other store rooms on the prop
erty Of this concern and it begins
to present busy appearance
even though the machinery is not
all set up as yet. This industry
will in the course Of a few years
be one Of the leading manufac-
turies of New Iberia, and if ever
there was an institution welcomed
it is this one. For all Of these
years, rice straw and bagasse
has literally gone to waste
for the want Of capitalists
to manufacture it into products
that is valuable. In few years
we feel certain other machinery
to finish the pulp into paper Of
all grades will be an adjunct to
this Plant and New Iberia will
then have an industry that will
give employment to several hun
dred people, thus not only adding
to our population, in so far as
numbers are concerned, but also
to the prosperity of the commun-
ity.
