OUR ALLIES PURCHASES
 HERE,

Most of the money advanced by the United States to the nations in Eu- rope engaged in war with Germany is spent in this country for the products of our farms, mines, and factories.
 Under the arrangement made by the secretary of the treasury and ap- proved by the president, these allied governments communicate their re- quirements for materials and sup plies te 8 United States commission through their own designated pur- chasing agents in this country and the commission then renders it's best efforts to obtain advantageous terms which are submitted to the purchas- ing agents.
 By these means competitive bid ding aginst the other allies and against the United States is avoided and tho same terms and the same treatment our own government re ceives is accorded to our allies.
 It is expressly stipulated that no obligation or liability upon the Uni ted States shall be created by the arrangement. Our government is simply lending it's assistance to our allies in the spending here of the money we loaned them. The pro- tection thus granted them is deserv- ed, for they are doing the work which if they do not do, must be done by America at the expense of American lives and American money.

 New York practically excmpts per sonal property from taxation It fol- lows that more than one-third of the millonaires in the United States live in New York City.
 So long as one state virtually eX- empts personal property from tax ation it is useless for othar states to be too particular when the stakes are high enough to make man in dependent of any specific place to live. It merely means movement to the state that is most considerate of the purse.

ANOTHER CANAL ADVOCATE

Mr.. Editor:
In an issue or two back ap-
peared in the Enterprise COM
munication by A Well Wisher"
in regards completing the canal
leading from town to the Bay. In
this article the writer laid stress
on the necessity of provisions be-
ing made for our people along the
line Of cheap sea food, and in this
he is absolutely correct. If this
war is to continue much longer,
where are people going to get the
other articles that go to make q
meal, besides Vegetables Meat
is beyond the reach of nine out Of
ten-fish probably may be placed
in the same category yet we
must eat! AS it is to-day we rely
on importations-either in cans
or otherwise. and we pay a big
price for the privilege. By al
means, our people should bestir
themselves and take steps to
smeliorats the situation, other
wise deprivation Of necessities
will be the lot Of many.
In regards to well Wishers'
proposition as to Smelling our
streets with the shells to be had
from the Bay, it is evident that
something must be done for our
thoronghfares and those leading
to town. otherwise, whenever the
rainy season sets in. most Of us for
get our religion bad roads de-
mand . heavy toll.
From any viewpoint that can
be taken, : good reason can be.
seen why the canal should be.
finished, but especially would we
lay stress on cheap sea food, shells
for, our streets and opportunity
for our people to enjoy the pleas
ures Of salt water bathing and
sea breeze.
Inasmuch as our Parish officials
contemplate improving the roads
of the Parish, would it be wrong
to ask the people Of the Parish to

RICE MILL ASSURED.

On Monday last Mr.. w. u. Car
yer of Crowley arrived in New
Iberia to close for the site ten
dered to him for the erection of
one of the largest rice mills in the
State. We have been informed
that the plant will have capac-
ity of 240O sacks daily. and will
employ not less than seventy-tiye
men constantly during the run
ming season. The site accepted
by the gentleman for the mill was
that owned by DR.. Adolph Koch
in East End, and on Monday the
entire tract of the gentleman,
comprising about four acres was
bought and site on the Teche
given over for the buildings, and
the remainder taken over by
Julius Scharff, Frank Delahous-
saye and George Schutzman. The
New Iberia & Northern Railroad
have had engineers here laying
out the necessary switches to
reach the mill, and within the next
thirty days the real construction
of this new enterprise in New
Iberia will be commenced in re-
atty. Last week we published
the names Of the subscribers to-
wards the purchase of the site
donated for the mill. We here
with annex the names of others
who have also subscribed since the
last number of the Enterprise,
thus assuring an industry that
will be worth thousands of dol
lars to this section of the coun-
try. 1t will be noted among the
signers to the donation are sew
eral wide-awake farmers through
out the Parish. Once this enter
prise is completed New Iberia will
then be in position to boast Of
two rice mills capable of hand
ling the big acreage planted in the
Parish this year. When this list
If names was handed us for pub
ication, Mayor Sealy requested
