Bobby Hughes, the wizard ban
tam has Just won another battle
by the Knockout route He de-
cisively knocked out Jack Rose of
New York in five rounds. New
Orleans fighting fans predicted
him a real good bantam, and if he
keeps UP his winning stride, pro-
meters Of New Orleans will match
him with some top-notcher.
Bobby has fought some very good
men. He was slightly shaded by
the ex-bantam champion Of the
world, Johnny Coulon. Bobby
said that he had some trouble with
his eX-manager during the fight
and said that if he had not been
troubled, he would have won
easily. Give me one more chance
and I am sure that [ can stop him
within the limit of 20 rounds.
Constantine says that he will
bring some good boy here to box
Bobby on July Sth. lie also has
a contest in New Orleans with
Johnny Douglas of Milwaukee on
June Doth. Johnny Fine who is
now training Bobby Hughes claims
that he can beat any boy his
weight.

HELP! HELP! HELP!

Uncle Sans call for help has

expects all red blooded men, men
who amount to something, men
who don't believe the name of

unteer in his great and glorious

try and its interests. Why
shouldn t therefore, every indi
vidual who enjoys this protection
and this defense, do the very lit
tie asked of him and her. if not
in the interest of the nation, then
in the selfish interest Of himself
or herself.
1t was misfortune, because it
was an insult. to regard at one
time, the army as service I'M

perversion of public opinion has

but from the viewpoint of the

highly respectable and highly
patriotic service in which in the
course of time no man may ignore
unless he is cripple or inhabited
by religion.
That being so, none need hesi-
tate to recommend the service to
a young man whose circumstances
will permit enlistment. The Army
is great forge in which iron men
are made, men who are needed in
this life, gentle as a child and
strong as lion, and the country

RICH SOIL AND CHEAP
LANDS.

Despite the fact that lands car
be bought in our Parish from
$4,000 an acre up to $4,000, with
in radius Of five and six miles OF
New Iberia, it seems strange that
so few outside people make in.
vestments in farms in this vicin-
1ty. There is no doubt the soil in
our Parish which is adapted to
corn, cane, rice, hay, and truck
of every conceivable nature leads
the world in productiveness. 1t
was only this week we are re-
liably Informed that Mr.. H. p.
Gates realized on four acres of
Irish potatoes $721.0O in money.
1t is his intention to plant at once
some June corn and after his crop
is made again turn the soil into
fall potatoes making three crops
in one year. This shows conclu-
sively what can be done in this vi
cinity when attention is given to
the cultivation of our soil and any
one can do as much when they
have lands such as ours to. cult
waite. Most any farm in the Par
ish has leading to it good public
roads which does more to give
value to our farms than anything
else and still there is but little
outside demand for land that can
be purchased reasonably, while
on the other hand in other par
lshes farm lands as much as ten
and even twenty miles from a.
Parish seat sell as high as $40
an arpent.
In the last issue of the Lafav-
cite Advertiser appeared the sub
joined news item that will give an
idea of the price lands are selling
for in that Parish:

Mayor Sealy has issued a
proclamation calling the citizens
attention to the fact that on next
Wednesday and Thursday, all
back yards within the limits of
New Iberia must be thoroughly
cleaned in accordance with the
ordinance Of the Board of Health
Of the City. On Friday and Sat-
urday inspection officers will
make the rounds of the town to
see that no one has disregarded
his warning. 1t behooves every
body to get busy next week and
give their premises a general
clean up. In many instances ow-
ing to the lack of sewerage il is
difficult to keep clean certain pla
ces where large quantities of
slop accumulate, but on the other
hand the health of the community
comes first and foremost, and GER
tain abuses of the City drains
must be stopped, otherwise a great
deal of sickness will result. In
this respect our Mayor has tried
to be as lenient as possible with
some of our citizens. but his duty
as an officer makes it imperative
that he enforce the sanitary laws
now that the summer months are
upon us and he will not accept
accuses for further violations
