Uncle Joe Ransdell has proven
that he's am0g the topnotches
as a statesman. He was success
full, with the help of his colleague
Bob Broussard, to pass the Flood
Control Bill. This is the tirssa
time in the history Of Congress
that it has gone on record as
providing means for the direct
control of floods along the Miss
issippi. For years we have
fought for this, but it is only to-
day that our prayers have been
granted. The whole Louisiana
delegation in Congress deserves
the warmest thanks Of their peo-

as much as $4,000 without any
hesitancy. and there is no reason
why every good citizen should
not subscribe at least one share.
If oil is found in paying quantity
by this Company it will rebound
to the benefit Of the entire citi-
zenship and property holder of
New Iberia. For that reason this
project Of proving a field in our
City limits should be encouraged
by every one who can afford to
subscribe a share. There are but
few of our people that are unable
to subscribe share Of stock and
we are somewhat surprised to see
so many hold themselves aloof
causing unnecessary delay in the
operation of the two contemplated
wells. If oil is found in paving
qualities it will be the making Of
New Iberia and the efforts of the
stockholders in cndcavoring TO
bring up the oil should meet the
approval Of every good citizen.
About $500O.00 more is needed to
