Hon. Walter j. Burke then
called their attention to resolu-
ton relative to weights of We
hiclcs, trucks, etc, that iniure
the public roads because Of their
excessive weight. This resulted
in a motion being carried that all
bridges that span the roads be
constructed Of such material to
insure the weight of trucks
weighing as much as eight tons.
The finance committee Of the
Police Jury then introduced the
subjoincd resolution which was
carried:

notes with the New Iberia Ma
tional Bank, Peoples National
Bank, State National Bank, three

the patriotism Of Iberians they
had these doubts dispeIIed by the
happenings of last Tuesday. With
but scant notice, the people be-
gan to assemble along st. Peter
and Main streets along the route
to be paraded by the School chil
dren, who hurriedly summoned
to display their patriotism, as
sembled at the High School, where
under the direction of Superin-
tendant L. A. Valet and the teach.
ers of the respective classes, fif-
teen hundred young Americans,
ranging from the budding young
manhood and Womanhood of the
Senior class, to the little tots of
the kindergarten grade, formed
in ranks, each carrying a flag OF
the United States and vieing one
with the other in Justify cheering
the cherish-d d emblem of their be-
loved country. Arriving at the
City Hall. the children gathered
in one large group, and accomp-
anied by the New Iberia Brass
Band, fifteen hundred young vol
ces were raised in a feryid rendl-
ton of 1.-The Star Spangled Ban
ner." Dead indeed was the soul
Of the one who was not stirred
to patriotic enthusiasm at that IN
spring moment and dull indeed
the spirit of the one who would
not enlist his best efforts and
make any sacrifice for the pres
ervance of the liberty, the free
dom and the happiness Of these,
our beloved children.
Later in the evening, hundreds
of the foremost men and women
of the Parish crowded the Dis
trict Court room where the Hon.
f.. r. Weeks called the Mass
Meeting to order and asked MIR.
Ed. L. Estorge to preside. Be
fore Chairman Estolg ge could as
sumo his place. he was inter
rupted by the enthusiastic ap-
plause which greeted the entrance
of the young men who had al
ready pledged their services to
the country by signing the muster
roll of the New Iberia company
of volunteers now forming; and
bv a fresh outburst when appear
ance of the flag brought the whole
assembly to it's feet while "Old
Glory" was being placed where
all could see and be aroused to
the high principles for which 1t
stands. AS soon as order was re-
stored, Chairman Estorge intro
duced in turn, Rev. j. M. Lang
lois. Hon. f. S. Broussard, Rev.
M. R. Paradis, Hon. Porteus R.
Burke, Judge L. 0. Hacker and
Hon. Jules Dreyfus.. Depicting
the horrors inflicted by autocracy,
secret diplomacy and militarism
which is sought to be imposed
upon the world by the selfish in
terest of the enemies of mankind,
the speakers dwelt upon the mo-
tives which prompted the United
States to align itself with the AL
lies, and with all its great power
and its unlimited resources, to
hasten the end Of the tyranlcal
rule of the Central Powers. Urg-

If the CONSUMPTION bill IS
passed by the Senate with all its
restrictions. it is more than prob
able a number Of the youu" mon
who volunteered to serve the
country will be returned home.
Out Of seventeen young men who
responded from our sister town
of Jeancrctte, We learn that seven
were returned because they did
not possess the necessary quail
fications. Young Edward SchcN-
naydcr of Jeancrettc who is not
only under age, but under weight
after overcoming many obstacles
in his anxiety to join the Navy,
managed to get by and left ON
Thursday morning Ell route to

WHAT MAKES THE DIFFERENCE
Punch, FalthfuIness, Capacity and In-
clinatlon for Work Said TO Deter.
mine Worker'1 Salary.

In an interview with Darwin r..
Kingsley, writer In the American
Magazine, reports:
Suppose you explain, Mr.. Kings
ley, some of the differences between
the $1.O00-a-year and the S5,0OO-a-year
man.
Punch, faithfulness, capacity for
work and inclination for It, returned
the life insurance president, make up
the yardstick which measures most
differences In salary. It's not at all
difficult to spot the youth who has the
markings Of a winner.
1.-The $5.00O-a-year man, to begin
with, Is always on the job. He is too
busy TO watch the clock. He is likely
to be quicker at his work than the
man at the next desk, and he IL al
ways looking for more things to do.
In roOmful OF clerks, the man who Is
always asking for heavier tasks
doesn't have to ask for promotions.'

OFFICERS VALUE TO ARMY
Ability 20 Lead Men with 4 Minimum
Of Loss 10 What Counts In Mod
eFn Business o. War.

Three months Of the hardest applica-
ton that any OF these young men has
ever known, then, Is the price they
pay 10 become officers, says Frederick
Palmer, writing in Golfers Weekly Of
the officers training camps. Those
who cannot stand ND to it will not get
their commissions, and some Of them
viii be sore, no doubt. Their parents
and friends will register complaints.
That is only human. But the system
must be stronger than any individual.
The system realizes the enormous
responsibility of making an officer who
will be worthy to lead men In action
with skill in the grim. mercilessly
scientific business of modern war
which means . minimum OF loss to his
own men and a maxinum to the enc
my IN any undertaking. The ledger OF
that business reckons its profit and loss
in casualties. A poor employee in busi-
ness loses the firms money. A poor
officer loses lives unnecessarily for his
country. Every one Of those rookie Of
ficers and every recruit of the selective
draft. when he grows weary of the
grind, may inspirit himself with this
thought:
Proficiency in all these things that
are being taught to me means that
some soldier will owe his life to my
capable direction. 1t means that my
company will get the trench it storms
with small loss, instead of being
thrown out under the spray of machine
guns ut great loss"

To Grow suckwheat in ENGLAND.

OF all the different grains recon.
mended to save wheat just now, buck
wheat and rye seem the only two that
can be grown and ripened in this coun-
try, says the London Chronicle. Buck
wheat owes its name to the resem-
blance of its seed to beechnut. hence
Its German name, Buchwalsen, corrupt
ed to buckwheat. Hitherto buckwheat
has been mostly grown here to feed
pheasants. but It Is : most nutritious
and quite pleasant food for man. Il
yields very abundantly, grows on poor
soil, and needs little manure. The only
trouble is II does not harvest well IN
any but dry weather, and that is prob
ably why hitherto 1t has not been more
grown here.
