Lodge last Thursday evening, the
members of the Lodge in open
meeting gave their approval to
the plans proposed by DR.. W. F.
Carstens for the early construc-
ton of a four-mile highway to
Vermilion Bay through Avery Is

pointed to draw up resolutions
for the press and everything the
members of that Fraternal Order
can do to assist the project will
do done. We learn it is the in

Licensing of boats, as re-
quired by the Navy Department.,
has been proceeding rapidly in
the Eighth Naval District, but
boat owners in some parts of the
District apparently do not realize
the necessity of having their
boats registered and licensed: 1t
is not the desire of the Govern.
ment to place any hardship or
unnecessary restrictions upon
boat owners, but patrol boats will
soon be put into service rounding
UP vessels not licensed. Boat
owners within the Second Sec
ton of the Eighth Naval District,
which comprises waters from Mo-
bile Bay, Alabama, to Sabine
Pass, Texas, should immediately
make application to the Licensing
Office, 215 Godchaux building,
New Orleans. La, for application
cards, which are to be filled ont
and returned to that office, when
licenses will be issued. No charge
is made for this license. All
boat owners should make immed-
late application for these cards
Skiffs or rowboats are not re-
quired to be licensed, but all
boats propelled by machinery or
sail must carry a "license to nav
igate.' This icensesis in addi-
ton to any that may have been
issued already by any Govern
ment Bureau. ~ =

New Iberia possesses a unique
social society known as the Boost
ifiers Club. The Club is composed
of some thirty male citizens OF
New Iberia who meet every
Thursday evening, either at the
home of brother member or at
a restaurant where good viands
are plentiful. On the occasions
Of the feast the privilege is al
ways accorded Mr.. Fred Decuir
to act as POSTMASTER and we mus.
say he fills the responsible posi-
ton to the entire, satisfaction Of
the jolly number. At these
weekly assemblies, matters of i'm
portance to New Iberia 3 often
discussed and ere long we hope to
see some real good suggestions
arise and be put into effect that
will rebound to the general good
of the City and Parish. 1t is
true the Club was started prime
ipally for social intercourse be-
tween its members, but we hope
at an early date to see the Boost
er's Club converted into one of
the iveliest civic organizations
in New Iberia.

Mr.. Gilbert and his wife, who
was a Miss B. Soulier, formerly

subjoined report of the horrible
crime. Identification was not

she felt sure the body was that
Of her husband. Mrs. Gilbert lives
with her brother n-law and sister,

husband, she said, was a repre-
sentative Of a fiscal agency. with
offices in the Macheca building.
Mr.. Gilbert, his wife said. made
occasional trips out of the city
in connection with his business.
When he left his home Saturday
he did not say what cities he in
tended visiting, but that he was

vance no reason why her husband
should have been murdered, as he
had no enemies known to her.

GALEDA CLASS OF MT. NEBO
RApTIcT cIINnAN ccnnnI

On Monday evening, November 10,
the Galeda Glass of Mt. Nebo Bap-
fist Sunday School gave a unique
entertainment in the nature of "a
Trip Around the World" Promptly
at o'clock the train pulled into the
depot with Mr.. A. D. Thomas, en-
gineer, Mrs. Oscar Frazier porter and
Mrs. Henry Thompson, conductor. The
first station reached was Oceanica,
there a tempting menu consisting OF
lemon jiffy-jell, whipped cream and
cake was abundantly served; from
Oceanica they travelled to West In
dies, where a dainty menu consist
ing Of fruit, punch and individual
cakes was served. At S:45 all aboard
left for Alaska, where a menu con-
sisting Of salmon salad, crackers,
pickle, cake and frappe was served
from a beautiful table covered with
snowy linen and cut glass. When
the whistle blew again it was an
nounced that the train had reached
Iceland, and as the weary travellers
filed into the station their WEAKNESS
was soon put to flight when the sweet
strains of music played by Miss An
ME Evans filled the air. A delicious
course of ice cream and white cake
was served by three young ladies
beautifully attired in white, Re
luctantly all departed to continue the
journey. The next time the train be-
gan to slow up and the whistle blew
it was heralded that the sunny shore
of Africa had been reached. Here
the travellers were showered with hot
roasted peanuts and various other
good eatables.
Leaving Africa, the engineer
reversed the train and pulled the en-
tire coach into South America, where
all left the train and enjoyed varie-
ty of fruits. Continuing, they
reached the Tropics, where another
course of fruits consisting of grapes,
apples, bananas and loaf cakes was
served from two heavily laden tables.
1t was announced here that the train
would make only one more stop and
that would be our United States"
for the last time the whistle blew
and the jolly travellers all boarded
the train and departed. At last the
States" were reached, all left the
train and found waiting for them
table laden with candies and minis
of various kinds. Each partook of its
contents until there was no room for
more. Reaching the United States at
1O:45, all left for their various homes
wishing to "Trip Around the World"
again very soon.
The class will meet In its regular
meeting Monday, December 10, at

THE VANGUARD ATTEMPTS TO
MISLEAD THE PUBLIC.

1t is all right to contend, and to
use all proper means and methods to
win in contest, but to deliberately
and maliciously misrepresent things
to SO distort and juggle the facts un-
IL they are misleading, in fact to send
forth in public print a real "lie," is 80
beneath a real Christian gentleman
until he had much rather lose in a
public controversy than resort to
such practices. The Vanguard man,
in his attempt to belittle and ignore
the financial assistance given to the
Arkansas Baptist College by the real
Missionary Baptists who do not agree
with the management of our educa-
ional work in the state, draws him
self down into the gutter, into that
strata of humanity occupied by the
worlds basest. He permits himself
to play the role of the lying deceiver,
and send broadcast to the world
statements that he knows are mis-
leading. We do not wonder at the
stagnant, non-progressive condition
of many of our public enterprises, for
in many instances they have at their
heads men who do not hesitate to
perform immoral, un-Christian deeds
and utter the most malicious false
hood to carry point with the I'M
suspecting and trusting public. In
his attempt to have the people be-
lieve that three men, the (triumvi
rate) "stole the money as usual" he
