REGISTRATION AS A TEST.

During the second week in Octo-
Der the country will be able to cor
rectly gauge the patriotism of its
women in the country as asked to
register, during that week, for
whatever service she feels she can
render her country in this greatest
crisis OF its history. We have been
used to boasting Of the splendid 10y
atty of our women, and we have al
ways had whereof to boast. Thus
far in the present conflict their res
ponse to the calls made o. them has
been spontaneous and most crafty
ing. But greater demands yet will
be made. Their work is in no sense
inferior to that of the men, although
it may differ very materially from
it in the element Of thrill. They will

During her term of office, Mrs. Mo-
berly has shown great activity and
efficiency both in the organization
and direction of the various Branch
Chapters as well as in her good work
in teaching the numerous classes the
gauze dressing work, which is so
much in demand at this time. How
ever, it is pleasing to know that we
shall not lose Mrs. Moberly entirely
from our Red Cross activities for
she wishes to be associated with this
great work as Director of the Wom-
ems Bureau. It occupy this i'm

great benefit of the Red Cross work

There is a considerable interest
taken in the Sixth Ward Road tax
election to be held on Thursday the
18th day of October when the
property holders outside of the City
limits of New Iberia will approve or
reject as they see fit, the efforts of
the Police Jury to build model grav-
el roads throughout the Sixth Ward
of the Parish. 1t will be noted by
the notice of election appearing in
another column the bond issue will
represent an indebtedness of only
$35,OO0.00, the proceeds of which
will be applied solely for the main
tenance and construction of roads
leading in the direction of New
Iberia. The tax will be so small that
we cannot conceive how any one
consistently oppose the proposition
as submitted by our Police Jury
when they take into consideration
the advantages derived from a mod
el gravel road enabling them to have
roads at all times of the season for
the hauling of their products to
market. Good roads are essential to
every farmer and land owner in the
Parish who has to find a market Of
SOME kind for his products and who
also has to get to town to transact
business at the county seat. Aside
from that, every acre of farm land,
owing to the ease with which it can
De reached is at once worth SO per !,
cent more to the owner if it is ever
put upon the market. On the other

Second Liberty Loan
Bond

Atlanta, Ga, Oct. 6.-(speciaD-
Although the most extensive and
strongest possible organization has
oeen perfected covering the entire
sixth Reserve District, subscriptions
TO the Second Liberty Loan have not
yet begun to come in in anything like
the amount necessary to reach even
the minimum allotment for the Dis
trict.
1t was expected that the first
weeks subscriptions would be any,
where nearly as large as those which
would come in toward the middle and
latter part of the campaign: but it
was anticipated that the District
would make a reasonably good show
ing the start.
Compared to what some of the 9TH
er districts are doing, however, the
Sixth District makes a very poor
showing for the first week. The SUBJ
scrlptlons have reached scarcely more
than a million dollars, whereas thew
must climb ultimately to at least 100
million dollars if this district is to do
its part.
In New York City, for instance.
where the most intense campaign is
being waged, there were sold 100
million dollars worth of bonds in the
first three days. In other words,
New York City and the territory sur
rounding, has done in three days
what is at least expected of the en-
tire Sixth Federal District in a whole
month.
Letters have gone out today to the
Zone chairman over the district and
to committeeman everywhere, urging
waking up and activity all
along the line and the executive COM
mittee feels that it must have more
results during the SECOND
week af the campaign and will make
every effort to get the largest posi-
bic aggregate of subscriptions.
The banks all over the district have
adopted various plans for selling Lib
erty Bonds to prospective purchasers,
Some of them have put it on a IL
months installment plan basis while
others have adopted the six months
nstallmen plan. In every instance,
however, the bank is rendering it's
ervice to the government and to the
'ond purchaser without compensation
Of any kind as was the case in connec-
lion with the first issue. Atlanta

Assumption Pioneer:

The corn crop in Lafourche parish
is reported to be one of the largest
raised in that parish. The long
drought which prevailed in most
parts of the State during the
spring and summer was broken
earlier in Lafourche than in other
parts. A large shipment of corn to
market at good prices will be made
by the farmers of Lafourche. The
lower Lafourche farmers also made
an exceptionally fine potato and
onion crop the early part of the
year, therefore, there is every rea-
son why there should be prosperity
in our sister parish.

Washington, October 8th.-Ap
.o;ntment of Directors of Civilian

inst been completed. The principa
duty of these Directors will be t.
oroanize and supervise Home Ser
v;ce work by the Chapters in eacf

lies of soldiers and sailors. The

through its Home Service sec
tons of all Chapters, the Red Cross
aims to help families of soldiers and
sailors to solve the problems con-
fronting, them during the absence
Of husband or father, and to help

eeneies Of war times.
The policy of the Red Cross War
Council in looking after the famil-
ies Of soldiers, as announced with
the organization of Home Service,
i:
"Obviously the task Of providing
for the financial assistance of the
families Of our soldiers and sailors
h % large that the Government
alone can assume it. In no other
my ean the burden be discharged
fairly and Is q matter of right ra-
tier than charity. No voluntary
ssysnizations could adequately cope

4 whatever financial assistance is
furnished BY the Red Cross to these
families win be merely supplement

dependents by the government. The
nj purpose Of Home Service is not
nGely to offset the loss of income
taat the absence Of the head of the
family involves, but to conserve the
same ideals of living that during his
presence were in force.
