PARC PERDUE NOTES.

Great Improvement in the gen.
eral condition of crops in this Sec
ton. Good rains fell here last
week. Crop prospects are good
with adequate moisture for cane.
corn and cotton. Perfect wealth
er growing and fruiting prevails
here for cotton and the crop once
backward is recovering rapidly.
Some cotton farmers report that
they will have open hollis in two
weeks. The cotton plant is about
three weeks late, but is healthy
and well cultivated and will
make plenty of fruit with clean
dry weather. Under present
weather conditions cotton will
mature and open very rapidly.
Rains would delay the movement
by delaying opening of bolls.
Cane looks very promising. The
farmers were busy this week
setting out potato slips. The
farmers are getting their lands
ready for the planting of fall
Irish potatoes.

WHO'S GOT A CROUCH.

Smile! Keep a cheerful look
on your face. War! Yes OF
course-but a scowl and prouch
won't stop it. High prices! They
certainly are-higher than the
highest flying air PLANE yet de-
vised; but you can't grow pota-
toes and onions on long face.
Take a spade, a song and some
seeds out to the back yard, and
put them to work. To dig in the
dirt, hoe weeds and raise vege-
tables for a few weeks will per-
haps benefit you, both physically
and morally, far more than -
entire summer spent loafng with
professional vacationists at a
fashionable resort. And if you
can't sing whistle; if you can t
whistle quicker up your lips and
blow through them: the effort $
the thing. Hot! You're right
again. But did you ever feel
yourself getting cooler by think
ing and growing about it? No.

can rob us Of the vision of the

in which we ought to see even the
most important things Of this
life. And after all whether 1t
be peace or war, victory or de-
feat, loyalty or cowardise. there
is one great objective towards
which all must push, the one big

One of the causes Of the fail
ure of local enterprise is the fail
ure on the part of many people
to comprehend that whatever in
juries any business in a commun-
ity reflects injury upon the peo-
pie Of that community. Home
enterprises should be Loyalty sup
ported by home people. 1t is too
often the case that business
that is of inc alculable benefit for
a locality is hampered or ruined
through jealousies. Some peo-
pie are so constituted that they
cannot endure to see an ac-
quaintance fairly prosperous,
while they are perfectly willing
to contribute to the prosperity OF
a stranger. The person who
makes his money here and spends
it elsewhere need not be sur
prised to find that others initiate
his example, and that in the
course of events, crashes result,
which throws him out of employ
ment or entail severe losses in
other ways. Loyalty to home and
home interests is essential to the
prosperity Of any community

IT HAPPENED IN NEW

And Is Happening to New iberia
People Every Week.

The case told below is not an
uncommon thing. The same oc-
ours frequently and will con
tRnue to happen as long as folks
have kidneys and overtax the
kidneys.
Jacob E. Martin. 119 Frere ST.,
New iberia, says: "Several years
ago, I had bad case of lumbage.
| couldn It straighten up on ac-
count of the sharp pains that
caught me in the small of nv
back and I didn't rest well at
night. 1 often got up in the
morning tired and lanquid. I
couldn't get relief no matter
what I did. I began taking
Doan's Kidney Pills and the pain
in my back eased up and I could
rest much better at night. Pretty
soon [ could get around all right
and it only took one box of
Doan's Kidney Pills to fix me I'D.

AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT.

On Thursday afternoon while
returning from the oil fields sew
eral miles distant from New lbe-
ria in a Ford car, Mr.. Ulysses
Landry, Jules, Jr.. Lena Landry,
Mrs. Minnie Giblin and her little
daughter Miss Lees Of New Or
leans, had an experience they will
long remember. It seems while
in the act of making a short turn
into the main road on the east side
of the Teche their car which was
travelling about twelve miles an
hour ran into the ditch and turned
completely over, pinioning several
of them underneath the machine.
Mrs. Giblin fortunately was
thrown out Of the car and while
suffering from a half-dozen brui-
SEES observed that Ulysses was
lying unconscious, his face
down and was smothering 10
death. With one arm she raised
the car off the young man and
used the other, despite her wound,
dragging him from underneath
the machine. Had it not been
for her self-control he would
have suffocated to death. He
was so badly knocked out that he
remained unconscious for four
hours after the accident. Lees
Giblin received a scalp wound
about four inches long while
Lena Landry and Jules Jr.. also
received bruises that will lay
them up for several days. All
five of them were brought to New
Iberia at once and taken to DIR.
Kings Office and afterwards tax
en- home to recover their wounds.
Had they been driving, as Ford
cars are usually run twenty-five
or thirty miles an hour it is more
than probable several members
of the family would have been
killed outright. Their experience
should be an object lesson to oth-
ers to be careful when turning
corners. When they were
brought to New Iberia it created
much excitement and it was sew
eral minutes before it could be
found out how the accident oc-
Cured. All of the wounded were
so badly hurt that they had to be
removed bodily from the car that
transported them to the physl-
clans Office.

Yet that place cannot compare in
the least with what will be on our
coast. / dare say autos by the
hundred go weekly to Clarendon,
but to Iberia's place of pleasure
they will go by the thousand.
Business? How about the fish,
| oyster, and crab problemsg |
dare say that there is not one
Of you present, but has heard at
home on many a Friday. what
can we get for dinner to-day?''
And the answer is Ego to the con-
tents of tin cans" and this is all
on account of the fact that no sea
food reached town. Most Of our
fish and shrimp and oysters, you
know. come from Morgan City,
Houma or Galveston-anyhow,
away from here. Yet within but
few miles is an opportunity to
get all this cheaply and quickly.
Business? The Intercoastal Canal
will pass through the Southern
part of our Parish, and should
this highway be built, the canal
will cross it about three-quarters
of a mile from the coast. This
will mean, we will be in touch
by road with body Of water
which bids fair to improve any
opportunity. I am sure we would
take advantage Of it. Lastly, I'M
der this head of business would
I mention the shells, clam shells,
which are ours just for the NOV
ing Of them. Could we not shell
OUR streets with them cheaper,
than with any thing else9 These
shells are out there by the hun
dreds of thousands of barrels.
Gentlemen, / don't want to |
take up any more Of your time,
but | would ask your support OF
this scheme, because it means to
New Iberia and our Parish, and
by that | mean our people, more
than | can claim. Some genera i
ton in the future will take adj
vantages of their coast. This will
be the case if we don't get busy.

An exchange gives the follow
ing as a true definition of an ed
itor:
can editor is Ia millionaire
without money, congressman
without a job and a king without
throne. He constructs towns
without saw or hammer, builds
railroads without rails or spikes,
and farms without a pillow. He
runs a butchershop in the jour-
nalistic world and deals out
brains cheap for cash or credit.
He loves those who advertise
with him as he loves himself.
The editor is a preacher, teacher
and lawyer and he sends truth
out to save souls and gets lost
himself. He heals the wounded,
cares for the dying. rescues the
perishing and when a ham sand
wish would jerk him from the
jaws Of death he starves.

ROAD TO THE SEA PROPOSE.
TON ENDORSED.

A special meeting of the New
iberia Chamber of Commerce tool
place in the City Hall building
last Wednesday night. The meet
ing was held for the purpose @.
endorsing the proposition of DIR
w. F. Carstens for the building
of a four-mile extension to the
public road leading to Avery Is
land that would give the people
Of this vicinity an opportunity tc
get cheap sea food from the sea
within a few hours. There were
present besides the members OF
the Chamber of Commerce num-
Der of our leading citizens and it
was the unanimous sentiment that
the project should be taken hold
Of at once and brought to an early
termination.
Mr.. Duncan Buie, the State
Highway Department Engineer
has consented to have one Of his
assistants make a preliminary
survey of the cost Of the highway
and then steps will be taken to
devise plans to raise. sufficient
money to perform the work.
DR.. Carstens made the follow
ing remarks:
"Gentlemen-I presume you all
know Of this dream Of mine; both
local papers of late have very
generously given it space and the
dreamer himself has not been
silent. At any rate sometime
dreams come true, and believing
this, / have exerted a little en-
ergy and spent a little time IN en-
deavoring to induce our people
to look with favor on a project
which / am sure means a great
deal to them.
Within a short distance from
our town is our coast; and within |
but four miles of completed
road is a point on this coast
where could be constructed a re- |
sort which would be of as much /
value to our City as any such
proposition could be to any place.
/ state resort, but | mean oppor-
tunity, / mean advantage, | mean
possibility. Within but fourteen
miles of New Iberia is all that any
ordinary summer resort can. claim
and more, because to us more
than pleasure and rest will be
considered cheap sea food and
business, which will be ours
should we go after it.
"The different view points
which can be taken in regard to
q highway to the sea from our
City are many: That of health,
and pleasure possibly should de-
mand our attention primarily.
know not one present but has
many times this summer longed
for a chance to spend an hour or !
two in a cool, pleasant, enjoyable
way, yet could not. because the
chance was not at hand, be-
cause the facilities for so spend
ing that hour or two were on some
other state s coast line away froni
us. Think what it will mean TO
MS to be able at any time, on any
day, to jump into an auto and
within one-half hour be on salt
water or in it! Gentlemen, this
will mean to us all rest, pleasure,
recreation, and if We get these,
why, all Of us will be happier,
healthier and smile oftener.
Business, did you sayf Yes,
from that standpoint we can view
the vast multitudes passing over
the old Spanish Trail from east
and west coming this way to
our Parish, to our City, to our
summer resort. They will have
money, and leave some Of it here.
If any Of you are in doubt of
this, 20 to Clarendon and see.
