THE TRIP TO THE BAY.

Last Sunday some seventy citi
xens visited Vermilion Bay at TIL
Invitation of DIR. w. F. Carsten'
for the purpose Of visiting tn,
scene Of the proposed model roa(
to the sea, via Avery Island, ant
in every particular the outing was
a success. Promptly at $50 TIKI
citizens Of New Iberia who hac
consented to make the trip as
sembled at the Post Office build
ing where automobiles were in
waiting that had been donated by
the citizens for this purpose and
the trip over the new road to the
Island was made in a few min
utes. At the Petite Anse bridge
some three boats were in waiting
for the party, and as soon as the
necessary eatables were put
aboard, the pleasure seekers
started on their journey for what
is known as the Barrow camp. In
about one hour and thirty min
utes the party arrived at their
destination where they spent the
entire day, fishing and bathing
and otherwise enjoying the OPP
portunities presented them for a
days outing at but little cost.
Excellent dinners were prepared
with sea food by Messrs. Emile
Ribbeck, Romauld Migues and we
pust say every member of the
party did justice to the occasion.
During the afternoon hours sew
eral talks were made on the great
advantages of finishing this road
to the sea which is completed to
within four miles Of the objective
point. DIR. Carstens, like several
Of his hosts, explained all the de-
tails and advantages Of the con-
templated road and its advant-
ages to the people Of New iberia
and not one Of the party but what
gave their approval to boost the
promotion of this four-mile-road
until it is . reality.

were: Fred Patout. CASTOR Pa

Fifteen Cent Hogs.

War times, fifty years ago, witnessed
hog markets something akin TO those
Of the present time, yet. the prices
were not as high as now.
Fifteen cent hogs have been brought
about by reason of a tremendous de-
mand. both domestic and foreign
Some millions OF pounds Of hog meats
are resting at the bottom Of the ocean,
having been sunk recently by the Ger
man submarines. Every foreign order
which fails TO reach its destination
only makes the demand for hogs that
much stronger.
The supplies are running short Dui
il is the demand which is the potential
factor in putting up values. Time has
been noted when light receipts sucn
as are now available could not be
moved readily at prices only one-third
as high as t present.
Ability of the consumer TO rake to-
gether the wherewithal TO purchase
hog meats is now greater than ever
before. That IS the real factor In Gre
atng the demand.
Packers are laying in raw material
now against previous sales of finished
i
than they have a chance Of delivering
Once the supply catches up with their
future sales, fifteen dollar hogs are
going to disappear.
Prices can jump backward as fast
as they have gone forward. Let the
producer keep that in mind. In the
trade there is expectancy that some
Of these fine mornings the market will
undergo a slump of dollar and be
followed by a far greater break.
When the blow off, comes 1t IS only
logical TO anticipate it, to be mos;
severe one.
Hogs at s12 are inconsistency high
and at SIS the cost to the average
consumer is practically prohibitive.
A new crop of matured hogs is in
the making The matured crop at pres
ent is light, but liberal feeding Of corr

pace, and the feeder is not skimpina

can expect hogs to continue climbing

GUARDsMAN A TRAITOR.
Minnesota MiIitiaman Sent to Prison
Because Of Reasonable Letter.

/ SSSoSSO " s1V0So"0ptC @0kS0Ts
Minneapolis, March S.--4Convicted of
furnishing military information to Ger
many Paul L. Scharfenberg, st. Paul,
private in Company l.. First infantry
regiment, Minnesota National Guard, Is
now a prisoner IN the United States
military prison at Fort Leaveiworth,
Kan, sentenced to term of five years.
The sentence was inflicted by a court
martial Of regular army officers at San
Antonio, Tex, Feb. Is. The court mar.
tial also ruled that Scharfenberg, q ma
tive of Germany, but naturalized
American citizen. should be dishonor-
ably discharged from the guard.
News of Scharfenberg's treason and
it's detection and punishment was
brought to Minneapolis yesterday by
the officers of the returning First in
fantry. Apparently the whole matter
had been hushed UP carefully at San
Antonio
Col. Erie D. Luce. commanding the
regiment, aud Capt. p, l.. McClay, reg
| mental adjutant. confirmed the story.
1t was the first time. however the out
side world had heard Of the incident.
A letter in German script, bearing
Scharfenbers s signature and addressed
to a woman in Germany. was inter-
copied by the British naval authors
ties in January. 1t was translated. Ac-
cordng to Minnesota guard officers,
the letter
Referred TO officers Of the United
States army as "cobblers.'
Predicted that President Wilson
would soon be out of the way"
Promised that "10.000,000 Germans in
the United States were ready to Kiss
up against the government in case OF
war with Germany.
Said that the government had 100000
men on the border. but that they
wouldn't stand up if put against an
efficient force"
Guard officers said the letter was
written after election and that d highly
sinister construction was placed on the
sentence predicting the president would
soon be out of the way"
The letter, which apparently was adj
dressed to Scharfenberg' mother, was
sent by the British to the United
States government. It was turned over
to the war department and sent to
army headquarters at San Antonio.
Scharfenberg was placed under ar
rest. He said he had a brother living
in ST Paul. the guard officers reported.
and emphatically denied writing the
letter himself A comparison Of the
letter with samples of the accused
mans writing. however. was fatal to
his defense plans and he was convicted
and sentenced. The letter was said to
have been written from Llano Grands.

Chicago. March t-Wheat-Specu-
Iators have been more impressed yes
terday and today by rumors and in
cidental influences than by the real
facts which surround the wheat mar
ket- The prospect Of rain. and a wild
rumor that Russia was about TO nego-
tiate a separate peace with Germany,
led TO a great deal OF selling, much Of
which was by shorts. Meantime, the
demand for cash wheat from exporters,
who were bidding higher premiums at
the gulf and from millers, who were
paying the highest prices since the
civil war. was utterly ignored The
government figures on reserves of
wheat in all positions will gradually
be confirmed and VIII mean very much
higher prices. In the interim bears are
disposed to regard the shortage as al
ready discounted and are. therefore,
laying a foundation for better bull
markets.
Corn-Corn well supported by local
bulls and again reached the high quo
tation OF early IN the week. Prices
broke, however, when wheat turned
easy. The southwestern reports in
dictate that large acreage is prepared
for spring planting, and the bears are
encouraged by this and the fact that
hogs are still coming to market un-
finished. While downward reactions
from prevailing high prices are prob
able, from time TO time, the surplus
cereal supply IS so limited that event
ually considerably higher levels Will
be reached.
Oats-Oat futures, after holding
