new IBERIA GETS
1918 PRESS MEET
Pace Of Gathering Changed
From Orleans And Date
Set For April l5-l7

The next annual meeting of the
1ouisiana Press Association is to be
hid At New Ibeia, Monday, Tues.
d,v and Wednesday, April Is, 16
and II, 1918, according to the de-
ci,ion of President Savery, M. Lewis
Of the Ruston Leader, and the exc
eutive committee of the association,
composed of NJ. w. Fisher of the
New Iberia Enterprise, DR.. E. L.
stephens Of the Lafayette Institute
Bulletin and DR.. C. J. Edwards of
the Abbeville Meridional.
At the 1917 meeting, held at
Alexandria last April, the associa-
tion voted to meet next year at New
Orleans, with a view of visiting the
Mississippi Centennial Exposition at
Gulfport after the session here, but
the subsequent postponement Of the
contemplated exposition for fifteen
months on account of war csndi-
tons suggested the desirability of
changing the place for the 1918 re-
union of the press association and
deferring the New Orleans session
until the following year. The prop
osition met with general approval
among the officers and members of
the press organization, and the com
mission council, chamber of COM
merce and press of New Iberia hav-
ing put in very cordial requisition
for the privilege Of entertaining the
newspaper clans, the change Of
meeting place. was accordingly made.
II has been over seventeen years
since the Louisiana Press Association
met ct the attractive little Teche
city, and it IS promised that a pro-
gram Of sightseeing and entertain
ment will be arranged for the April
convention that will make the New
Iberia meeting red-letter event in
louisiana newspaperdom.

% TIMBER FOR WOODEN VES-
Sells

Shipyards building wooden ships
for the Government are in the mar
ket for extra large white-oak con
struction timbers or logs of good
quality. The 2,00O-ton ships now
building each require two rudden-
posts of this species, Ia by "a inches,
40 feet long. Logs measuring 28
inches in diameter at the small end
viii cut out such timbers and are
worth end of August) from $50 TO
$50 per thousand board feet meas
ured in the log. Sticks hewed or
sawed to this size will bring $40 to
$50 per thousand board feet loaded
on the cars within 100 to 200 miles
Of the shipyards. Sticks squared to
the size mentioned above contain
1,120 board feet and would there
fore bring from ~$78 TO $50 each
f. o. b. cars at loading point.
Though these prices apply to the
Atlantic and Gulf shipyards, it is
probable that they would also hold
good for those located in the North.
The yards are also in need Of other
white oak structural atimbers for,
shaft logs, horn timbers, deck and
chock rails, and keel shoes. These
range in size from 6 by 8 inches by
20 to 80 feet long to ID by Id inches
1S feet long
Farmers having white oak trees
that will produce timbers of these
sizes are urged to take advantage of
the demand for such material and
get in touch with shipbuilding con-
Germs. ~ 80
Farmers living in the vicinity of
port towns could probably secure
from the secretary of the board of
trade or chamber oc cammerce of
such places the names and addresses
of shipyards at such points, or list
of eastern shipbuilding firms can be
obtained upon application to the
Forest Service, Department of Agri-
culture.

Derivation Of "Crjbbaue."

The word "cribbage' is simply
"crib" plus sage" The "age" is the
common English noun-forming termin-
atiop acquired ! by our tongue from
French and traceable back to the Latin
neuter "aticum." The t''crib" IS not
from the name Of the crib used In the
game, but is from the verb ito crib"
say the dictionaries; this point seems
rather finely drawn, since the crib It.
self may derive its name from the verb,
to crib, indicatin that the dealer cribs
or draws cards from the other players.

Good roads always had a "com-
mercial value" but it was left for
the automobile to make them a
commercial necessity for the town
or city that hopes to keep pace
with the progress of its rivals. For
the automobile twenty miles over
q good road make shorter dis
tance than ten miles over a bad.
or even an, indifferent one. The
will make the twenty
mile trip over a good road more
economically than it will the ten
ME trip over a bad or indifferent
one; more economically as to the
time and expense in wear and tear
Of the machine Hence town or
city which sees a rival providing
itself with good roads without doing
to provide good roads for
Itself virtually surrenders trade
,crrltory to its rival. 1t is, as one
night say, moving it's customers

Migratory Perplexities Of the Rieebird.

The boboiink, or ricebird, is COM
mon songster in the eastern regions of
the country. 1t winters in Central
America and the West Indies. Up to
a short time ago the bird was exclud-
ed from the Western states because,
being freQuenter of damp meadows,
it could not cross the intervening arid
belt. But the progress in irrigation
extended the bobolink's area of habita-
tion. We now find the ricebird almost
close to the Pacific. Curiously enough,
the return Journey from its winter
quarters follows the old route, /. e.,
the Eastern states. the birds having
evidently not yet learned short cut
across New Mexico.

Mexican Known by His Hat.

In Mexico, the hat is the symbol OF
mans standing in the community.
The grandees Of old Spain enjoyed the
privilege of standing covered In the
royal presence. The result was that
they Wed with one another In the size
and splendor of their hats; and the
common people followed this example
as best they might. In time, therefore,
the hat became as distinctive on the
heads of the men as the mantilla on
those of the women.

SANTUCK

Santuck, Sept. 4.-"Little drops of
water"-yes, little drops of water
multiplied, and that enough, contri-
butes to make the land beautiful.
From the morning of August 31st to
the evening of September 3rd we had
general rains here that were sorely
needed. At the beginning of August
this section could boast of as fine a
prospect of crop as it ever had. But
with recorded rainfall of a little
more than a half inch for the month
until the 31st you may know that
crops generally were burned up al
most. Bottom land corn went through
very well, and upland corn that was
made practically, before did not get
the worst effects. Some corn was
burned to the tassle, and ears dropped
over long before it was ripe. Cotton,
1 believe was cut nearly one-half. The
next morning after the rain, and wait
ing for the dew to dry off little so
could get into the fields to see the
good effects, already, I was feeling
so glad, was so anxious I "could
neither run nor walk, nor stand still"
Now it is going to be all hands around
(my hands) to planting late cabbage
plants;- and they are late too-and
turnip seed, and some other seed, but
we will need "good seasons" to make
success. I am afraid the rain being
so late coming my late watermelon
patch will not do well. wanted some
so late, the weather would make them
feel to ones mouth like ice-cold mel
ons. Well, I am thinking the entire
county had good rains. I am feeling
that way, and hope they did. 1t
seems that general rains have more
lasting effect than a shower Just on
ones own field could have on that field.
Farmers are up to their eyes now
pulling fodder, and cotton is opening,
much brought on by the extremely dry
weather. Field peas, those planted
for seed, and for hay are very poor,
but may be much improved by the
late rains. Thoughts are being ad-
vanced along the line of sowing small
grain--wheat, as well as oats. If
prices remain up it is likely to be
long time before the present wheat
growing farmers will turn back from
this method. The number is growing.
Some who have never sown wheat may
do so this fall. We ought not sow too
many acres, but prepare few better
and select better ones. There is not
an acre of land planted to anything
around here, but could be made to
make much more.
There are many personals" to men
ton, but I will leave that for Topaz
this time as she can beat me getting
them up. l am too busy a man, and
she is good. Hey Denver.
