DEPLORABLE INCIDENT.

An article calculated to re-
fleet upon the peace of the COM
munity appeared in the New Or
leans papers this week and is
truly deplorable, particularly
when New Iberia is noted for be-
ing one of the most abiding
communities in the State. The
occasion for the communication
allowed cited was an assault in
fiicted upon DR.. Bowling while in
the performance Of his duties.
The affair happily ended in an
apology on the part of the as
sailant and we believe the matter
will be dropped by the State Of
fetal. While the best citizens Of
New Iberia regret the occurrence
still there are many of the opin-
ion that Dr. Bowling was very in
discreet in not making it known
that he was the State Health Of
ticer when he visited the place in
question. Had this been done, we
do not believe Mr.. Besson would
have attacked the official, if what
we hear be true. After the as
sault, charges were preferred and
DIR. Bowling went to New Or
leans and had the affair aired in
the public press, giving the names
of by-standers. The article re-
ferred to read accordingly:
CDR. Oscar Bowling, president
of the State Board Of Health, was
assaulted Tuesday in New iberia
by Mayo Besson, bartender in the
saloon of the Frederic Hotel. The
assault was made while DR.. Dow
ling was showing the bartender
how to clean up the saloon.
In investigating the sanitary |
conditions about the hotel Dr..
Bowling noticed glasses and
other things in the ban that he
considered were not properly |
cared for. He said he saw dirt
about the steam radiator and
asked the bartender why it was
not swept away. The bartender
denied the place was dirty. "Give
me broom and i will show you,'
said the doctor. The bartender
said he did not have broom, and
DR.. Bowling went into the hotel
and obtained one. While bending
over to get the broom under the
radiator, DR.. bowling says. the
bartender pushed him over, and
when he attempted to rise struck
him with his open hand alongside
the head.
eff | were not a public official
/ would thrash you for that, -
said the doctor.
"Get out. You are full of /
whisky replied Besson.
They attempted to induce DR..
Bowling to drop the matter, but
he told the bartender to consider
himself under arrest for assault
ing a public official in the dis
charge of his duty, and informed
him he would lay the matter be-
fore the district attorney. He
did so and the trial was fixed for
3 p. m, Tuesday. but DR.. Bowling
had to leave before that time to
meet an appointment in New Or
leans. Before he took the train
he received letter of humble
from Besson. in which he
said: With profound regret,
hllmiliating shame and sincere
humility, beg to tender you my
5elated apology for the assault.
| crave for kind and generous con-
sideration ON your part; and
would feel under deep and ever
lasting sense Of obligation to you
il You could rise to this situation
and translate it into an act of
complete forgiveness. -

FARMERS AND THE DAYLIGHT LAW.

When YOU got up this morning at
80 and dressed by daylight it was
a new sensation-that is II you had
been getting up at that time or earlier
by the clock time. Last evening was
a long one. But tomorrow or next day
the newness will have worn away as
it did when the clocks were changed
last spring and life will go on just the
same and we'll burn dayiight-that is
We will if we strive to adapt our hours
TO the conditions of the fuel and light
saving.
II any one has suffered annoyance
from the daylight saving plan it has
been the farmers. Perhaps next sprins
when We change the clocks again
some adjustment can be made that
will relieve this condition. When the
law was first inaugurated we insisted
on it's observance strictly. 1t was part
of the war program. we got together
and toed a mark. But it is true that
farmers found that 1t interfered with
their work tho they accepted the new
regime and held strictly to it as a
patriotic duty. One Franklin county
farmer expresses 1t thus:
have read the T.-R. for several
years and expect to read 1t several
more, and In the majority of cases
you and ! agree exactly but this day
light law 1 have to take exception to.
First most farmers get up at five and
some, little earlier from about April
1 to dec. after the corn Is picked.
Now in April and May by the old
time was just about as early as one
could see to do chores under the new
time we carried lantern for one hour

OUR BIG JOB HERE AT HOME.

Eighteen million tons of food, double
exports of foodstuffs-that is the pro-
gram of the Hoover Office for the COM
ing year.
1t is hard to understand such figures
but it will require 500. 900 freight cars
of $4,000 pounds capacity to transport
Is, 900, 900 tons OF food: if they were
made UP In one train il would be 400
miles or more in length and at ten miles
an hour would require between seven
teen and eighteen days to pass Il given
point; if the cars were assembled for
loading at one time in Iowa-where a
great many OF them must be loaded
they would fill the main tracks of every
east and west road across the state.
This country must save that from its
own tables, says Mr.. Hoover, and tells
why. His figures are convincing.
Wen have to do it.
He says we must do it. not by sub
shutting one food for another but by
actually saving the grub. The big mill
tary establishments must be fed and
1900, 900 to 10000 900 non combatants
must be kept from starving. Counted
against the number of mouths $4,000
900 tons do not seem so immense COM
pared with the task they must accom-
plish.
Now since September we are told
that the drafts on our stock of food
are running against Us every day
There is only one way to keep the bal
ance bar level With just so much food
in the world it must be measured on,
carefully. On the homes of this coun.
try rests the responsibility of life and
death in the hungry countries Of
Europe.
Bring it home. Take it into the
kitchen and remember it at the table
We must save 100000 tons of food
or children and aged men and womer
and the weak must die of starvation.
That is the problem and, the respon
sibility of this country and of ever,
home in this country. What are yot
going to do about it in your home?

A 10000 TO I SHOT.
Chances Of Making Golf Hole in One
Are Very Slender.

Chicago. Oct. ss.--while every
golfer knows that TO make a hole in
one stroke Is a mere gamble. IL has
remained for professional TO demon
strate the law OF chance in these cases
TO be substantially one in 10000. the
figures offered by Lloyds OF London
who insure almost anything on the
ratio established as likely to come
about by mathematical calculation.
Robert tombstone, professional AT
the Seattle Golf Club. recently made a
hole in one for the second time In his
thirty -four years on the links. The
only other time that tombstone ever
made hole in one stroke was at the
old Preside course at San Francisco
in 1901. a year after he came from
Scotland. On that occasion he used
an old gutta -percha hall.
tombstone has been playing golf
since he was 10 years OF age. 80 he
had played about II years before he
obtained his I at the Preside course
and seventeen years elapsed between
that one-shotter and the second
tombstone figures that ne has aver
aged about IS holes a day.. year in
and year out. for seventeen years. At
that rate he played in that time S.S7s. :
$50 strokes. But there were only an
average Of three holes to each round
on the links he played where it was
possible TO make hole in one. and
this would mean that IN seventeen
years. at an average round a day. he
would have played 1858 shot holes.
Probably the most remarkable hole
in one was made by Ned Aliis, OF
Milwaukee, q few years ago in the
western amateur championship at the
Flossmoor Club, Chicago He holed
his drive On the 500 yard old first hole,
the ball having to cary over deep
valley. ascend a hill and traverse
sloping green. The chances to repeat
such a performance have not been
figured out by Loyds.
Among the proofs that luck and not
skill allows a hole to be made in one
stroke. no matter how short. is the
fact that Harry Warden. British pro-
fessioual and Charles Evans, Jr..
American amateur and open champion
regarded as the most exact player
with irons. have neither ever made
hole In one. aitho Warden at least has
played more than 900 short holes.
Jerome Travers once saw Evans shoot
dozen balls in succession to a caddy
and land them all 50 close to the same
spot that the caddy did not have TO
move to pick them up, but . golf cup
