! day the New Iberia Company III
/ charge Of DrilIcr Hency began
taking mp the pipe which he had
connected on the screen Of the
first well, and which had practical
ly run dry after several weeks
flow. The purpose Of taking out
the screen is to move al! Gc1rmC-
lated sand that is supposed t. re
responsible for the oil ceaSing to
flow as it did at first, by Mon
day they ought to know whether
this well will ever again produce
oil IN paying quantities as when
it was first brought in by Driller
Boutte. The well of the Gulf
Company on the Bernard tract
shows excellent indications at the
present time, a depCh Of about
some $500 feet. The screen is
now being adjusted and high
hopes are entertained that it will
prove a good one 'Driller Boutte
now has everything ready to be

terprise Oil Company on the land
Of Mr.. Alexis VOORHEES, and il is
the intention to keep things NOV

oil is struck on this property
right in the heart Of New Iberia
it will rebound to the benefit of
everybody in New IBERIA. This
was one of the reasons more than
any other why this Company was
organized and it is hoped every
citizen who invested a dollar in
this undertaking will receive
handsome dividends on his invest
mcnt.
When it became known that
the New Iberia Company, COM
posed of about one hundred men
who had offered themselves to
the Government would not be ac-
cepted as volunteers, some twenty
five or more Immediately respond
ed to the call for reserve officers

had resigned his position as a
school teacher at Lake Charles
and came here to assist in the or

for officers, realizing the fruit

Snapshots Of Kalsidoscoplo Work
In all the big cities IN France where
our men pass through IN large num-
bers, the Y. N. @. A Is operating
hostels, where they can get beds and
meals at a minimum cost In London
the American Y. n. G. A. mas erected
. large building for our soldiers and .
clubhouse for American officers.
There are Y. n. c. A. dusouts right
behind the front line trenches, where
the soldiers can get hot drinks. crack

A heet OF motor cars leaves the big
Y.M. G. A headquarters IN London at
midnight every night to pick up SOL
diers who are wandering about tho
streets without any wholesome lodging
In which to spend the night These
cars are operated by Englshwomen
OF position and refinement, who report
that they never meet any dLseourtesy
at the hands OF the soldiers. The I'M
portance OF this service can be esu-
mated by the fact that at least $4,000
soldiers are on leave In London every
week. over half OF these sleep IN Y.
NJ. G. A. beds every night
Entertainment on Vast Scale.
The Y. NJ. C. A has erected big
auditorium, seating 5000, in each OF
the big draft camps, and huge chautau-
qua tents, seating $500 in the other
encampments. The association "a run

among the camps and Is paying IL
companies OF entertainers, who ere
travelling to 80 camps performing be-
fore the men.
In each OF the draft camps the z.
NJ. c. A. has ten secretaries engaged
in educational work. The association
Is seeing to It that every man who
cannot speak English Is taught to do
SO. In many OF the camps the asso-
ciation has a singing director, who is
teaching the men to sing the popular
and martial airs that do so much to
keep up their spirits.

least is on its way to you. Each one
Of our 16 cantonments, where the new
national army is being trained, is
using more than a million sheets OF
this paper every month. In the draft
army alone that means 16,000,0OO fla
ments of love every month reaching
out from the great encampment where
the men are being trained into the
greatest army this nation has ever
dreamed and binding them to the
hearts at home. Multiply that by
thinking OF all the other places where
Uncle Sam has men with the fag-in
navy yards, on the high seas, In arse

"Over There" In France. In all these
places men are writing home. Those

In each Of these a soldier was strum
ming on a piano; others were reading
books and magazines; hundreds were
writing letters home. Behind the
raised counter at one end three or four
young men were busy passing out
notepaper and envelopes, selling
stamps and weighing parcels, which
the men were sending home. One OF
the soldiers said to me as | stood IN
the tent used chiefly by men from
Iowa: I'VE came all the way here
from Des Moines, and we were mighty
lonely. Then we found this Y. NJ. c.
A. on the Job, and it's been a home
and more than a home to us. 1t gave

Fine, cIean-cut, Outstanding Fellows.
How close those benches were pack
ed with men. bending over the long
tables absorbed in their writing!
What an appeal to the sympathies
those great groups OF soldiers make!
Fine, clean-cut, outstanding fellows,
some of them mere boys, one thinks
Immediately OF the sacrifice they haye
made for the rest OF US and how pre-
cious they are to some one back home.
Somewhere, IN far off farm or village
or city street, there are parents or
brothers or wives who would give all
they possess for one glimpse Of those
lsunburned faces as you and l see
them on their last night before going
across. And It was with throb OF
the heart that watched them, bent
over their letter paper in one after
another OF those seven big tents.
These were the tents Of the Y. NJ. c.
A. On that last night in America the
association was serving the soldiers
In the best OF all ways-giving them
an opportunity to write home. On
previous nights they had enjoyed box
.ng bouts, movies. concerts. dramatics
and a score OF healthy entertainments
as well as religious meetings. But on
this last night home ties were strong

OF the splendid work the Y. NJ. c. A.
Is doing among our men in uniform

In these times there are some let.

we have ever read before. They are

ut was evening on the broad

where the Rainbow division was
spending its last night before embark

part OF the world to another than sta
tistics can express. Statistics are
pretty poor anyway when It comes to
reckoning In terms Of love and human
tenderness. Let's put 1t this way:
That the Y. NJ. G. A. is the biggest ex

seen, and the parcels It is handling
are the loves and devotions Of human
beings.
Worlds Best Loved Trademark.
This war has made US think hard
and fast. Your boy or your neigh.
bor's boy or some boy you know and
love has been called to do his share
in the big Job Of policing the world for
democracy and human liberty. Is It
any comfort to you to know that wher-
ever his duty may call him your boy
will nave a friend that will serve him
in body, mind and soul? Are you
glad to know that this friend will place
books and magazines at his disposal,
organize classes to teach him what.
ever he wants to learn, give him
pocket testament and invite him to
join religious meetings OF the faith
that he was brought up in? Did you
realize that the association provides
athletic equipment for his favorite
games, teaches him games II he knows
none and holds concerts, lectures,
movies, Bible classes, dramatic enter
tainments and every kind Of whole
some amusement to keep him interest
ed? Are you glad to know that this
friend will 60 with him overseas, help
to shield him from score OF difficult
and dangerous temptations and follow
him right up TO the front line trench
and beyond it, The last contact the
soldier has with this life he loves so
well Is a cup Of tea given him by the
Y. NJ. C. A free just before he goes
"over the top" to a hand to hand strug'
gle with the enemy, And as he comes
tottering back from No Mans Land,
wounded, but strong enough and
plucky enough to keep on his feet,
even before his wounds are dressed
the Y. NJ. c. A. is waiting for MIN With
tea and sweet chocolate, the great com
forts Of the man In the trenches. Do
you wonder that the Red Triangle Is
called the best loved trademark IN
the world?" One soldier in France has
called it "the last evidence that any
body cares"
II every thinking citizen could see
with his or her own eyes something
OF the actual work being done for our
men by the association there would be
no question OF the 7. NJ. c. A having
to appeal to the public for money.
Rather than let this essential work
talter for an instant rich men would
sell their motorcsrs. poor men would
