THE NEW RICE MILL.

On Tuesday of this week
ground was broken for the con-
struction of $l0O,OOO.OO rice
mill which will 'be constructed i'll
| the eastern portion Of New lbe.
| ria for the Carver Teche Rice
Milling Company, recently or
ganized to do business in this
State. The officers of the institu-
ton are Messrs. w. II. Carver,
president; Leonard J. Barrow,
'vice-president; E. H. Dupre, see
retary-treasurer; Mr.. Hiram Car
YER, manager; George Belanger,
miller.
The mill will have a capacity
of twenty-five hundred barrels
per twenty-four hours. They will
also manufacture rice -four and
erect a large grain elevator that
will be of great advantage in
handling the cereA as fast as i.
is brought to the mill. They in
tend also to operate their own
boat line up and down the Teche
so as to be in position to secure
rice from the numerous rice
planters whose farms are located
on the water fronts. Both the
New iberia and Northern and
Southern Pacific Railroads will
build spurs right into their yards.
The New Iberia & Northern Rail
road have already had engineers
here on the job so as to be in
readiness to haul material on the
grounds.
From what we learn all of those
connected with the institution will
their families here and
taken collectively, with the large
force of employees necessary for
the operation of the plant the
industry will be a great benefit to
New Iberia. With the recent pur-
chases made by Mr.. Leonard Bar
row in California some weeks ago
it IS said the mill will run steadily
at least ten months without any
:tops. ''~'

MAGNOLIA SCHOOL RAISES
FLAG,

On Tuesday afternoon last al
two-thirty, the children Of the
Magnolia Public School, in charg:
of Miss Chevie Sanders, the
principal and the other ladies
comprising the faculty, conducted
an elaborate flag raising program
in the presence Of a number Of
the patrons Of the school and
other residents who had assem-.
! bled there to witness the cere.
monies.
| The beautiful flag. ten by eigh,
teen which had been purchased
through the efforts Of the chill
dren was hoisted to the breezes
while several hundred voices were
singing the Star Spangled Bali
ner. With it was raised the
Junior Red Cross Flag, after
which Prof. Chas. M. Bahon de-
livered an address, impressing the
children with the history Of the
Red Cross organization and Of its
manifold benefits to the wounded
soldiers in the times of war.
This was followed by another
patriotic song. after which little
John Price, a manly little ten
year-old child made a four-min-
ute talk that brought forth a
great deal of applause and fav-
orable comment. Then the chill
dren again sang and Hon. Ven
tress j. Smith talked to them on
the Thrift Saving Stamps and
urged them to do their bit TO-
wards the drive in making Iberia
Ego over the top in accordance
with the wishes Of the govern
ment. Mr.. Smith called their
especial attention to what had
been accomplished by the school
children of Abbeville who have
already sold 100000 Of War
Savings Stamps. He was fol-
lowed by Mr.. A. c. Bernard who
held their attention for some ten
after which the cere-
monies were concluded.
At the request Of the Principal
of the School we were requested
to extend thanks to all who as
sisted in making the flag raising
exercises such success, and
to Mr.. Henry Galore
for the assistance he rendered in
the ropes on the flag
pole and for other work cheer
fully performed.

to provide all local draft boards
in your State with adequate as
sistance for transcription and

School teachers already assisting,
but have not proved adequate. In
eight local boards have defaulted
entirely and many partially in
this work. Until transcription of
occupational cards is complete
United States Army must wait for
vitality needed skilled workmen.
This is. therefore. a national
emergency. General Crowder
states: Il consider this a criti-
cal test of ability Of State and
local councils. Will they rise to
the emergencyi" We have prom
ised on your behalf. Request
therefore you do following. d.
rect each local council to go to
each draft board in it's jurisdic-
ton and inquire the number and
type Of assistants needed. Make
sure that each local council pro-
vides desired assistance. Bull
lentinize this telegram to every
local council within your State.
Give wide publicity to the need
of assistance by local board. They
have been informed of the assist
ance by local board.
It is up to you to provide the
assistance and make sure that
transcription by all boards in
your State is performed. Will

Nature Cures. The Doctor Takes
the Fee.

There is an old saying that ma
ture cures, the doctor takes the
fee,'' but as everyone knows you
can help Nature very much and
thereby enable it to effect cure
in much less time than is usually
required. This is particularly
true of colds. Chamberlain s
Cough Remedy relieves the lungs,
liqufes the tough mucus and aids
in its expectoration. allays the
cough and aids Nature in restoring

ROUT THE RAT.

One rat for each person is the
estimate made by R. H. Creel OF
the Z. S. Public Health Service,
which in round numbers is over
100000, 900, for the United States.
This is a conservative estimate
and in many sections Of the coun-
try, especially where food is pro-
duced and handled. the number of
rats is known to be proportiOnate-
ly greater.
Why should we maintain this
large standing army Of rats; Ey-
cry rat eats. wastes or cOntaml-
mates 81 worth of food annually,
based on before-the-War prices ;
81 per head would be more nearly
correct at present. Why not ex-
terminate the rats and throw off
this indemnity of 81 per head
paid to rat militarism?
Rats in America destroy enough
food to maintain million soldiers,
and spread contagious diseases
like the bubonic plague, which
alone has caused more deaths than
bullets. Rats are suspected Of
transmitting the hoof and mouth
disease also, which causes enorm-
Gus stock losses. once it becomes
epidemic. Much has been said
about food production and con-
servation; possibly as great a |
saving can be effected by cutting
off the food supply Of rats as by
cutting down ON the food supply
Of our human population.
The effective way to extermi-
nate rats is to stop providing
shelter for them. Build them out
with concrete. They cannot |
gnaw it. Concrete walls. founda-
tons and floors defy rats and have
proven the most effective means
of starving them out. Farms
once overrun with rats have been
made rat free by building con-
crete floors and foundations for
the farm buildings. Rats de-
prived Of their hiding places are
EASILY exterminated by poisoning,
trapping or killing, but frequent
y, with the advent of concrete,
hey leave voluntarily for more
promising locations. !
Concrete foundations and floors
or farm buildings pay big divi-
lends. At least ten cubic feet Of
concrete can be placed each year,
or the food wasted by one rat.
Placing this ten cubic feet of con-
'rete in a floor four inches thick.
t will make 80 square feet Of
loor hpace, and in such cases con-
'rete floors and foundations will
Jay for themselves in less than
me years time. Concrete is not
'nly good investment, but it
will save vast quantities Of badly
leeded food, which in the present

Judge James ol1nOn convened
a special term Of Court last Thurs
day in re the election contest be.
tween candidates for the Mayor
ship. of Jeanerette. This Is
the aftermath Of the recent prl-
mary held to determine who would
head the general election ticket
next Monday when the election
will be held. The parties in the
matter are the present Mayor,
Florian j. Gainnie and Mr.. ID. }.
Druilhet. When the votes were
counted the returns given were
142 votes cast. seventy-one for
Druilhet and seventy for CANINE.
The contention Of the defendant,
Gainnie, was that Messrs. CASTOR
Druilhet, Henry G. Hebert and
Clarence Gardner each wrong
fully, illegally, and fradulently
persisted in claiming their right
to participate in the election, and
caused great injustice to Pc
titioner. According to the evil
dence adduced during the trial
witnesses testified that affidavits
were attached to the ballots OF
the parties in question. For some
reason. from what we understand,
this evidence has no bearing on
the case, one way or the other,
due to the fact that the commits
sioners all signed the returns
showing Mr.. Druilhet the NOM
inee. In arguing the case, Mr.. E.
Z. Weeks showed irregularities
with respect to the handling OF
the ballot box after the returns
were counted. 1t seems the
law states very specifically
that it should have been delivered
over in custody of the Clerk OF
the Court few hours after. Ia
stead of that the box and it's con-
tents remained in the town Of
Jeanerette for eight days before
being put into the custody OF the
Clerk.
The case is a hard fought one
and will not be terminated until
after we have printed our paper,
consequently, we are not in posi-
ton to publish the decision of the
Judge relative thereto. 1T is prob
able it will be appealed no matter
how it is decided. The defendant
was represented by Attorney E. S.
Broussard while the plaintiff is
being represented by Attorney r.
T. Weeks.
In the meantime next Monday
the regular election will proceed
with the name of E. j. Druilhet
as the Democratic nominee. It
is probable it will be several
weeks before the Circuit Court
rejects or confirms the opinion
handed down by the District
Court. Az

IN MEMORIAM.
Knights of Pythias. Castle Hall,
No. 80.

The death of Hon. Robert F.
Broussard removes from our
midst a personality, whose pub
lie and private life bore so many
evidences Of loyalty, esteem and
love as to be without a parallel
in the annals Of South Louisiana.
Born and reared to manhood in
Iberia Parish. his pleasing per-
sonality and genial disposition
soon drew to him thousands of adj
miring friends and staunch sup
porters from other parishes. The
possession Of those characteristics
of mind and heart in superior
degree, which commands alleg-
lance and compels esteem, soon
elevated him to political leader
ship in the Third Congressional
District. This leadership he re-
tanned for more than twenty
years, and the loyal adherence of
his supporters throughout this
period was sincere, enthusiastic
and unfaltering.
Realizing the great loss sus-
tanned by this community, the
State and Nation in the death Of
Hen. Robert F. Broussard. there
fore,
Be it Resolved. by the Pythian
Lodge No. 80 of New Iberia. that
in the untimely death of Brother
Robert F. Broussard, our lodge
has lost a gallant and valorous
Knight; the Third Congressional
District representative whose
efforts were devoted to the in
terests Of his constituents with a
commendible and uncompromising
fidelity; and the Nation a public
servant who, approaching the
grave responsibilities of public
office. discharged his obligations
with keen sense Of the peoples
welfare.
Be it further resolved, that our
lodge room be decorated in
mourning for a period of thirty
days, and that copies of this res
olution be spread upon our min
utes. be given to the press, and
transmitted to the bereaved fam
lily of our lamented brother.
