This week the carpenters en-

building has made so much head
way with the inside work that the
oak fixtures are already being in
stalled in the floor space to be oc-
cupied as the retail department.
They are a decided improvement
over the fixtures that were des-
troyed in the fire and when every
thing is arranged the retail de-
partment will have as pretty in
side appearances as any drug es-
tablishment in Louisiana. 1t is
more than probable that by the
latter part Of next week every
thing will be in readiness to re-
move the stock to the new store.

The corn buyers in this vi
entity have been somewhat dis
appointed from what we learn, be-
cause but very little of the cereal
has been brought to New Iberia
by the farmers. The reason for
so little grain being put on the
market is due to the bad condi-!
ton of the roads as well as the /
fact that only $3.50 per barrel has
been paid for it for some time.
The farmers seem to think there
will be a slight advance, but the
buyers on the other hand contend
they expect another drop in the
very near future.

There is no doubt the talks deliv-
cred by them on the necessity Of
continuing the food conservation
will tend to do much good in onr
midst. Since the cessation of hos

to think food conservation is a
