: changed.
Moscow, March 19.-Rlssia's rela-
tions with the Entente are unchanged,
NJ. Tchitchcrin, the Bolsheviki foreign
minister, declared in an interview with
the Associated Press correspondent
today. More friendly relation were be-
ing established with the United States,
he added, and he commented upon
President Wilson'S message to Russia
as showing that America would not
take aggressive action against her.

NJ Trotzky also asked the American
military mission for ten American Off
GERS to assist him as inspectors in or
ganizing and training new volunteer

There has been a marked change in
the attitude Of the Entente Allies to-
ward the Soviet Government. The
Entente missions arc no longer run
ming away from Russia. The English,
French and Americans, Italians and
Sibcrians now have military missions
IN Moscow and they are taking quar-
tors rs they expect to remain.

]. V, SULLIVAN.
New Iberia enterprise and independent observer., 1918-05-11

When the writer was in Geor-
gla few weeks ago Prof. NJ. c.
Gay of the state marketing work
expressed the opinion that evex.
during the recent unprecedented
winter, not 3 per cent Of the po~
tatoes III storage houses were in
Jured, and practically all this )
per cent loss was due to inexper-
ience. "We have $4,000 bushels
here, stored at cost of Is cents
a bushel, " one farmer said, "and
whether it pays or not you can
judge by the fact that even the
portion of potatoes in banks that
did last through the freeze are
bringing only 81 a bushel whreeas
those from storage houses are
bringing $3.50. They don't sprout
and get SO dry and pithy in stor-
age houses as the ydo in hills. -

BUILD POTATO STORAGE
HOUSES.

Community sweet potato stor-
age houses offer one of the finest
opportunities for farm business
cooperation we know Of at this
time. We say Eat this time" be-
cause in order that farmers may
plant a sufficient sweet potato
acreage, plans for putting up the
storage houses should be made
right now-or at least the def
mite decision made that such
houses will be erected by fall. It's
a shame that our folks in the
South, having a monopoly of this
wonderful crop, have not made
half the profits out Of it that good
management would have brought
us. it seems to be only another
illustration of DR.. Knapp's say.
ing that Southerners have "a
weakness for letting money slip
through their fingers. 1t is
impossible to say how many mil
lions of dollars have been lost by
tie freezing Of potatoes in the old
fashioned hills or banks or how
MANY more millions our farmers
might have produced and sold il
better methods of keeping the
crop had been practiced.

RED CROSS ENTERTAINMENT
AT RYNELLA.

1t was our pleasure with a party
of New Iberians to be present al
the Red Cross entertainment Civ
en- at Rynella Chapel last Sunday
night by the bright young chill
dren, pupils Of the Marcel, Nor.
ris and Bodin schools, through the
efforts of Mesdames Nat Brous.
sard, Numa Derouen and Miss
Theresa Mestayer who used ev
cry means to bring the partici.
pants up to the highest standard,
and we must say many surprises
greeted the large audience who
had assembled there to witness
the interesting program by the
patriotic children who acquitted
themselves so creditably. The
program was one that would have
done credit to professionals. We
had often heard Of the rapid prog
ress being made by the pupils Of
that section Of the Parish along
educational lines through the in
fiuence of the teachers Of the puO-
lie schools and was agreeably sur
prised at the talent displayed on
this occasion. Several hundred
citizens Of that neighborhood were
in attendance and for real patrio-
tism we do not believe there is
another part of the Parish that
makes better showing. A nice
sum Of $115.58 was realized for
the Red Cross, and the citizenship
of Petite Anse are determined to
1'do their bit" at all times.
They were assisted by several
noted musicians. among them
Mrs. Hebert, Miss Gertie Hebert
ard Mrs. Samuel Cooksley and
Miss Lucy Derouen, Miss Evelyn
Delcambre and Miss Olga Del
eambre of New iberia.
Those in charge of the refresh
ment stands were Mrs. P. c. De-
rouen, Mrs. Laodice Miguez. Mrs.
John Deslatte, Mrs. Lezan Del
cambre. Messrs. Clarence Smith,
Numa Derouen and Calyx Lam

During the rendition Of the diff

duce the characters. The pro-
gram was as follows:
