The --latest newspaper annual
shows the increased price Of paper,

too much for the publisher who
had no faith in his publication.
The men who were afraid to asl
more for their papers have either
sold out to competitors or joined

A case of much interest was
that of R. A. Jacob versus Dr.
Guy A. Shaw. The trial came
up last week and the arguments
were made by the attorneys on
Tuesday. Jacobs contended in
his petition that a tract OF forty
acres was included in a sale that
he had made for the defendant
some weeks since, and that he was
entitled to a commission on the
same. While on the other hand
the defendant Shaw contended
that this particular strip was not
a part of the land sold. So far a
decision has not been handed
down by His Honor.
Court adjourned on Thursday

Dear Mother:

same.
I am certainly glad that the
worst is over-I mean the trip. |
know you are too. but anyway,
mother don't fear, we are quite
safe now and perhaps will be I'M
til this is over. Things don t
look half as bad as you home
folks think they are. We have
our same comforts we had in the
States and best of all the climate
is warmer.
Mother | will close for this time
hoping to hear from you at an
early date. Best love and wishes
to you all, also send best regards
to all my friends"

pletely engaged in the planting or
cultiN alton of crop but who are
listed in Glass One Of the draft
and within the new quota should
be deferred until the end Of the
new quota. The local draft
boards, being judicial bodies, can
not defer the call of such men,
however, unless the farmers en-
ploying them support their claims
for such deferred classific alton
with affidavits. 1t is therefore OF
vital Importance that farmers I'M
mediately execute and file such
affidavits with the local boards.
If farmers whose hands are af-
fected in this new call fail to
follow this advice, they should
have no cause for complaint IT
their men are taken from them at
this critical time. 1t will be use
less and unreasonable later to
protest if they have done nothing
to retain their help. Immediate
action on the part of every farmer
whose employees are affected IS
essential and should not be de-
layed under any circumstances. "

TO THE FARMERS.

AS President of the Federal
Land Bank Il have been appointed
on the State Committee Of War
Savings to call to the attention
of the farmers Of this District
their duty in connection with
War-Savings.
The Government has provided
in the War-Savings Stamp the
best security yet offered to any
people. The Understanding unit
is the $500 stamp which can De
bought this month for $4.14, re-
deemable on 10 days notice at
amy post office with three per cent
simple interest or if held to ma
turiy, January 1, 1928, $500 cash
will be paid, yielding four per
cent compounded quarterly.
/ desire to make special re-
quest of the farmers and the
farmers wives that they form the
habit of investing in War-Savinss
Stamps regularly each month,
and, in order to carry out the re-
quest of our President and to help
our country. I desire to suggest
that this season when the farmers
are casting their crops that they
plant at least one additional acre
in cotton, corn rice, sugar, oats,
peas or other food product. Let
this acre be known as National
Acre to be cultivated in the ordi-
narily rest time, and with the pro-
ceeds Of this acre invest in War
Savings Stamps.
If possible, I request that the
farmers wives and children each
have National Acre to be thor
oughly cultivated. and the pro-
ceeds invested in War-Savings
Stamps.
Your Government has, through
the Federal Land Bank, furnished
you with an excellent means of
improving your property and
condition, and now calls on you
for extra effort Of production
and requests you to invest a small
proportion thereof in the best Sc
curly yet offered. Before de-
clining to do this on account of
the extra labor or longer hours,
remember that our boys must
stand in the trenches not hours
but days and weeks under the
CALLING fire Of the enemy in order
to make safe for you this cou1-
TRY Of ours.
Write me that you will plant
the extra acre and invest in War-
Savings Stamps.
In addition to the National
Acre / want you to organize a
WarSavings Society among your
neighbors. II you are willing to
do this write to the Parish Direc-
tor Of Wsr-Savings or to Mr.. r.
III. Saunders, State Director, New
Orleans.

STAND BY BAILEY.

The office Of secretary of state
was formerly one Of the latest in
Louisiana, yielding anywhere
from $4,000 to $4,000 year un-
der the fee system. During the
administration Of Governor Blan-
chard, however, legislation was
passed putting it on salary
basis, and all fees with one ex-
ception. now 60 into the general
treasury.
The exception is the fee which
the secretary by subsequent en-
actment was authorized to deduct
from the collection of automobile
licenses. With the large increase
of the number Of automobiles in
the state, this fee now aggregates
a tiny annual sum, and if con-
tinued, it would make the Office
again one of the most attractive
in the state.
Secretary Bailey. however,
true to his well-known position
on the fee system. now is writ
ing to members of the legisla-
ture, asking them to support a
bill he is to introduce abolishing
the fee and requiring the full
revenue from auto licenses to he
turned into the general fund.
Whatever expense is incurred in
operating the automobile depart
ment he thinks ough to be COW
cred in direct appropriation.
We take it that the Legislature
will do what Mr.. Bailey asks
The established policy of the
state now is against the fee sys.
tenn and no public officer should
enjoy any income over and above
the salary fixed by law.-New Or

THE SERVICE FLAG.

With simple OUT Impressive
ceremonies the service flag of the
New Iberia High School was ded-
icated and raised Tuesday morn
ing. At $50 the entire student
body Of the High School as
sembled on the campus ar0und'the
flag pole. Ia number of persons
vitality interested in this cere-
mony were also present.
The exercises which were con-
Quoted by Mr.. F. A. Threlkeld
opened with song by the student
body, "Keep the Home Fires
Burning" Mr.. ThreDkeld, after
effectively impressing upon the
audience the solemnity of the oc-
casion introduced as speaker for
the exercises, Mr.. J. P. Mccain.
AS the latter took his place the
flag was raised by Miss Thelma
French who had inaugurated the
steps which led to this occasion.
Mr.. Mccain spoke eloquently
upon America s place in the world
crisis, Of the honor to which those
who were giving themselves for
their country's cause, were en-
titled and Of the pride and love
we bore for those of our own
number. who were in the service
and to whose memory we that
day raised service flag.
Mr.. Bahon then briefly COM
plimented the student body upon
the splendid showing they had
made during the Red Cross drive
which entitled them to fly q Red
Cross flag beneath the service flag.
He informed the students that the
Parish School Board had donated
the flag and the twenty-six stars
which it contained but the lists
were now opened to the student
body for contributions in the
shape of stars to fill out the nee
essary number. He closed with
q roll call of those whose stars
were on the flag.
The exercises ended with the
singing Of "The Star Spangled
Banner and it is no small won
der that the words were sung
with especial reverence and feel
ing for above foated three flags

above all which the same students
had dedicated little less than

MASONS OPPOSE Line
LOOPING. THE temple
Strong Protest Made Against w.,
B. & A. Proposal.

In a letter forwarded today to the
Public Utilities Commission by James
5. Mccarthy, past master OF Wash
inSton Centennial Lodge of Masons,
strong protest is made against the
proposed plan to build a loop about
the Masonic Temple for use by the
Washington, Baltimore and Annapolis
Railroad.
Far from acquiescing In the pro-
posal, as was in some quarters assert
ed the local Masonic bodies would,
the letter declares the Masons have
gone on record as opposing the plan.
The Masonic organizations, Mr.. Nc
Carthy says. were not until recently
sounded on the scheme, and when they
were, they showed general disap-
proyaL
