County Attorney Cherry is on r

County Attorney Cherry is record as favoring
amendment the present liquor laws by which certain
oenses shall be made msdemeanor instead of Pross mis-
demesnor and the matter is before the legislature
and the charge should certainly be made While serving
this community justice of the peace for number of
years. the writer learned that the practical enforcement
of law is oftmes entirely different from it's theoretical
enforcement. And it is fact tina: the 'wettest leg

The difference lies here if offense be made misde

municipal judge justice of the peace and conviction is
comparatively easy but if the oense be a gross msde
a felony then hearing only is held by the
municipal court. All the court do is put the off
ender under bonds to appear the dis

trct court the issues tried by jury and it is always
harder to convict before jury than before court.

out is conducive respect for the law 1.-THE legislature
would listen to the opinion Of those whose duty it is
enforce the law many excellent changes could made

Asks for Night Operator

DonnelIy Star.-A petition has
been circulated in DonneIly this week
asking the Great Northern to put on
night operator at DOnnelly. 1t
seems there is a state law by which
the railroads are not compelled to
have night men in towns of less than
500 population. There are many
towns twice that size that need such
service less than this place. Being
on the main line trains are running
through here at all times of the night
and it is the biggest wonder that
there have not been more accidents.
Two midnight trains stop here and
waiting for them is horror with no
one in charge of the depot. Repre-

more or less for couple of years and
then take it easy for the rest of his
days. 1t is safe to say that everybody
in this vicinity regrets to see him
withdraw from business for he has
ever been one of the most progressive
and popular business men of this city.
At the same time they cannot blame
him for wanting few years of recre-
alton before the final summons comes.

that a well used pink garter had

RED CROSS NOTES.

We had hoped this week to
give definite cost of what our
first shipment of hospital gar
ments cost us, but must defer for
something more important.
Tidings come to us from across
the sea that already the men in
the trenches are suffering from
cold, without warm clothes, and
that indications are that this win
ter will be more severe than last
and that the Red Cross must en-
ter another line of work, namely
the knitting Of sweaters, wrist
let's. socks land mufflers.
Iberia Chapter has been al
lotted six hundred sets. at first
the writer thought this impossi-
BILE, but after doing a little in
vestigating among the women as
to who would try to learn to knit
these things so badly needed, we
have not thus far had refusal.
and we feel very optimistic. that
Iberia Chapter will again respond
with the goods.
About the first week of Septem-
Der the ladies Of New iberia will
be notified in some way of place
of meeting and by this time in
struetion. needles and wool with
a few competent teachers will be
on hand to give us our first les
sons.
Remember the men in the
trenches have not steam heat orI
sunshine and to do what they
must. TO win this war, they must
have warm clothing. and we must
furnish our share and / think Il
