The low shoe has come into its own
again. for with the advent Of warm
weather, women think in terms Of the

They specialize on suits for men at just

1t has been the policy of this firm to sell
at as low prices as conditions would per-
nit. Mr.. Arnold Hirsh expressed II to a
Herald representative: I'VE depend upon
large volume of sales rather than large
individual profits. In this way we can
partly offset the rise in the cost OF leath-

the newest styles in good feathers at
prices that are not at a great variance
with those that prevailed in previous sea-

our allies, will eventually cOmpe
our adversaries, the Germani'
dynasties, the Prussian military
machine and the Prussian landed
aristocracy to accept uncondi
tional surrender and defeat. Gen
eral Hunger and Famine are to-
day the greatest danger and
menace to the Teutonic trench
fighter and the German govern
ment.

in the Central Empires, mutiny in

IArmy, this Nation with the unan-
imous support Of the. American
/ farmer and the other wealth pro-
ducing agencies Of eur people
should succeed in making the
world safe for Democracy in the
future.
The people are just beginning to
get a more comprehensive view of
the danger and the threat Of this
war. A great deal Of that former
indifference and apathy Of the
country people is being gradually
and confidently replaced by the
genuine spirit of Americanism
and the love Of flag and country.
A great deal Of this evidence of
spontaneous >patriotism greeted
the speakers at the Freeman and
LEBLANC Schools, where the large
audiences showed complete mar
mony and determination with the
President Of the United States and
his war policies. Great credit and
recognition must be given to the
school teachers throughout Iberia
Parish for these splendid results.
They have thoroughly understood
the divine mission and the scared
ness of the principles which made
the United States undertake this
war and oppose its whole resist
ance to the encroachment and
arrogant pretensions of the mill
tary masters of autocracy. The
Council of Defense wishes also to
announce that all the resources
at its disposition are rendered
and offered to any patriotic move
ment that may appear in the here
after and that must face the COM
pick situation Of the solution Of
our war questions.

Editor ENTERPRISE:

Editor Enterprise:
/ In the published account, ap-
pearing in your columns, of the
proceedings of the Chamber of
Commerce it will be noticed that
resolution was adopted by the
board of directors pledging the
support of that body in favor of
the bond issue and special tax to
be voted on by the taxpayers of
this town at the election to be
held on the 10th inst. | OPP
posed the adoption of this resolu-
ton, and take occasion to say that
| shall oppose the burdening of
this community at this time with
any additional taxation other than
for absolute necessities.
At any other time in the his
tory Of our municipal life, l have
actively supported and worked
for any measure proposed for the
Improvement Of our public streets
or for the building up of any one
of our public institutions, but in
view of the National crisis now
pending / consider the time i'll
chosen in which to vote moneys
for the identifying of our prem
ises: We are called upon by the
National Government to pay spec
ial taxes on almost everything we
consume in order to provide for
the prosecution Of this war. Our
Parish is called to subscribe to
something like two hundred and
thirty-seven thousand dollars of
the new issue of Liberty Bonds.
No one can possibly foretell what
further contributions we will be
called upon to make and until
some knowledge is had Of just
what sacrifices will be required
at our hands it appears that any
move that drain our resources
would be move badly made at
this time.
If paved streets would add to
he commercial activity Of New
iberia there might be some excuse
or this move, but being sup
ported almost exclusively by the
agricultural interests of the sur
'ounding country, very little if
my advantage can be gained by |
foing this work. Neither viii
