The Soldier

The soldier comes back from
the carnage and wreck; he's
minus an arm and leg and
neck; ah, never again will he
swagger and swing! He walks
with crutch and his heads in a
sling. As long as he lives he will
sit by his door. and tell how he
waded in enemy gore, and young
men will list to his narrowing
tale, and blush that they're stand
ing unwounded and hale. = I'd
rather come home from the war
in a dray, all broken, dismember-
ed, my head shot away, than
stand around telling, by day and
by night, that | was too proud or
too moral to fight. The soldier
comes home for a season of
peace, he carries his legs in a
trunk or valise, his lungs and his
wishbone were shipped by ex-
press, his body is filled with the
keenest distress. But people will
listen, their hats in their hands,
to all his adventures in war
stricken lands, they'll call him a
hero, a soul brave and true, they'll
praise him and bless him and give
him a chew. Then sad is the lot
of the bystanding wight who feels
that it's wicked and sinful to
fight. The girls turn him down
and the boys hoot his name; he
crawls meath culvert to bury his
shame. WALT MASON.

Mr.. n. S. Sealy, American Red

MY dear Mr.. Sealy-The call
to the South for Red Cross War
Fund has been generously
answered. Men and women of
every nationality and station in
life have alike contributed to
make this a success. The War
Council cannot directly express
appreciation to every person who
has rendered service to this great
movement, but the success Of the
campaign would be incomplete

campaign is just starting.
Is Your Name In The List?


Is your name in the published
list Of candidates? If it is not,
send it in Immediately and by SO
doing you will start yourself off
with 5000 votes. If your name is
in the list, it means that you have
been nominated by some friend
that wants to see you a candidate
and who has cast votes for you to
assist you in winning the Ford
car or one Of the other prizes.
llf your name is in the list. come
to the Enterprise Immediately
and see the campaign manag "
who will give you all information
regarding the Campaign and
what to do in order to get votes.
The prizes are all on display il
New Iberia and you have an op-
portnnity of calling on the various
stores and viewing the beautiful
prizes which we are givinp away
in this great campaign.
The management has also ar
ranged with the Bijou Theatre of
Jeanerette for 2 60 day Admis-
sions to that Theatre which Is
also offered as prize.
The Purpose of the Campaign.
The purpose of this campaign
is to secure subscriptions for the
Enterprise. While the Enter
prise has now by far the largest
circulation in the Parish, at the
conclusion Of this campaign it
hopes to be one of the most wide
ly circulated weekly papers in the
State. In giving these prizes the
Enterprise is practically giving
back to the public every cent in
subscription money received. The
Enterprise is spending this
amount of money in order to make
the advertising space more va
uable to the advertiser. An al 4
vertiser buys the amount Of read
ers that will read his advertise
ment and patronizes the paper
that has the most readers. The
Enterprise feels that if it spends
$1,000 in excess of the total
amount taken in from the cam
paign it will be more than COM
pensated by the additional amount
of circulation and the additional
amount Of advertising.
Refer to the advertisement in
the paper and read over the rules
and regulations. If there is any
thing you do not understand call
on the Campaign Manager at the
Enterprise building or address a
letter to P. O. Box 1863 and
representative will call on you
and furnish the necessary infor.
nation.
For the convenience Of the can
1idates residing in Jeanerette we
have arranged for a campaign
representative to be at Veazey's
Restaurant every Tuesday and
Thursday where he can be
reached by calling Phone II and
le will be glad to furnish any
desired relative to
he campaign. |,
