him severally for allowing boys
at his home as he had stated. In
fact he was warned if he per
mitted any more boys in his house
who had no business there, he
would suffer the consequences.
When all Of the self-cOnfessed
evidence was before His Honor,
Judge Smith who was appointed
by the Court in behalf Of the de-
linquent children pleaded with
the Court not to send the boys
to the State Reformery at Rus
ton, as he felt sure their conduct
in the future would be of the best,
and he knew their parents would
see that no such crimes would be
charged to the boys again. 1t was
at this stage Of the proceedings
when the District Attorney read
the Constitution Of the State ere
ating Juvenile Laws which impos-
es fine of 5000 on each parent for
depridations to property. In fact
the laws hold every parent direct
ly responsible for every act COM
mitted by a child under age.
Judge Simon then delivered a lee
ture to the delinquent children
and admonished with them not
to let any conduct of theirs In
the future bring such-shame upon
their parents and themselves, and
several of the more tender-hearted
boys commenced to shed tears
showing that they were i'm
pressed with the severity Of the
situation. Six of them were
warned that for six months they
would have to be home before
darkness set in and the remainder
should do the same thing for
three months, unless accompanied
by their parents. The Court ap-
pointed Rev. Diggs and Prof.
Chas. NJ. Bahon as Juvenile Off
GERS and these children are also
to report to Mr.. Bahon every Sat
urday during the period of six
With this the Court was
djourned and the boys warned
to return to their home and be-
have themselves.

and buy later. if he wishes, ter
prices 60 down.
In fact it would be wisdom if
haxwould follow this plan. Cut
d6Mn on the purchases of Injuries
and save for the next period of
depression. That is just what
the United States is asking him
to do in connection with the War
Savings Campaign. The world
needs food-all that can be pro-
duced. The government needs
money-all that can be had. Let
the farmer produce food and sup
ply hungry world. and put his
money-part, at least from every
load Of produce he sells-into gov
eminent war savings stamps.
The security is the best in the
world; the interest rate is good;
the War Savings stamps cannot
decline in value. The men, women
and children who own them are is
sured against adversely.

AERIAL LANDING STATION.

Last week we mentioned the ef
forts of Mayor Sealy to secure fol
New Iberia an official landing sta
ton for the air feet of Unc,e
Sam, and what was necessary to
get the Government to accept New
Iberia as their permanent stop
ping place for the cross country
flights between Lake Charles and
New Orleans. 1t is a source ot
qualification to us to announce
that through the efforts of HIS
Honor, and Postmaster Sllvlo
Broussard the land has been Sc
cured from the Patout brothers
and Mr.. w. /. Spencer who con-
sented to let the Government use
some twenty acres of what IS
known as the Pascal property,
about one mile from the Court
House. From what we learn steps
will be taken at once to smooth
out all defects in the land and
couple of carloads Of white sand
and gravel will be used to cover
a few acres of the tract in order
that the flyers will have no tro'l-
BILE to make safe landing when
they reach New Iberia. Hon. Dan
D. Avery donated the white sand
and gravel and the Southern
Pacific Railroad through Mr.. D.
A. Dimitry has consented to fur
nish the necessary ears to haul
the material from Avery Island
within a few days and in a few
weeks everything will be in readi-
ness to turn the grounds over 20
the representatives Of the Gov
eminent. New Iberia will get a
great deal of free advertising
from the esta blishment here Of an
official landing station because OF
the fact that hundreds Of visitors
will be attracted here every time
it becomes known that an aerial
fleet will visit us for their sup
plies. To the gentlemen who made
donations and the others who To-
terested themselves in, getting|
New iberia placed on the map the
citizens generally are under obi
cations. Had it not been for their
unceasing efforts, some other town
along the Southern Pacific Rail-
road would have landed the much
coveted prize.

THE PAPER PULP MILL.

New Iberia's pulp-making in
dustry, known as the Sugar Cane
By-Product Co. in charge of Mr..
A. C. Bernard. commenced opera
ton last week despite the fact
that only two Of its mammoth
digestors, Cooking tanks) can be
Of service until certain unreceived
bolts arrive. The mill operated
two days last week and on Mon
day had to shut down in order
to comply with the Garfield fuel
savings order from Washington.
On Tuesday, again steam was
raised and the process Of making
pulp out Of rice straw commenced
in earnest, even though but two
Of the ten digesters could be put
into service. There is no gain
saying the fact that the plant es-
tablished here to convert rice
straw. bagasse and cotton stalks
into paper pulp will soon be con-
sidered one Of the most prom
Using industries of our City, and
thousands Of tons Of material
that heretofore went to waste will
be converted into a valuable pro-
duet. Every piece Of machinery
installed in this plant is Of the

THE FARMERS GOLDEN OP-
PORTUNITY.

Nowhere in the wide world has
anyone profted more from the
war than the American farmer.
Prices of cotton, rice, sugar, gram,
livestock; in fact, Of everything
the farmer has to sell are higher
than he ever dreamed of-and the
end is not yet.
Unlike the farmers Of France,
of Italy, Of Russia, and Of other
countries in the war. the Amerl-
can farmer can go about his work,
sowing in the Spring and feeling
secure that his fields will not be
overrun by the enemy before harry
est; reaping in the firm knowledge
that his stored grain will not be
seized by a ruthless invader.
IT'S true the farmer has his
troubles. Help is hard to get,
and the cost of production goes
up month by month. What the
farmer has to buy also advances
continually in price, but the
farmer, unlike the city dweller,
can. if he desires, purchase very
little and still get along. His liy-
ing is right on his farm. What
he purchases elsewhere is largely
in the line of Injuries. He can
sell now, while prices are high,

STORES ROBBED BY Chill
DREN.


past year or two, we have been
called upon to chronicle robberies
committed by juveniles under the
age Of seventeen, but never has it
occurred, since we have been a
publisher. to report that twelve
young children ranging in ages
from eleven to sixteen had been
arrested for burglarizing stores in
our City such as occurred this
week when twelve little urchins
were tried and found guilty of Of
lenses Of this nature. Some weeks
ago the wholesale store of Rem

two boys. and several cartoons of

Enlistment. The boys, it seemed
hid in the Dietlein building few
minutes before closing time and
after the employees repaired to
their homes took what goods they
wanted and departed. Being so
successful in this venture without
being apprehended, the two gull
ty ones naturally planned other
robberies and added to their num-
Der some ten more, and together
the Segura drug store was entered
and over two hundred dollars
worth Of merchandise carried
away and secreted in several pla-
ces, under their homes and a
greater portion in some bushes in
the Henshaw woods across the
Teche. On Saturday when Mr..
Nathan Levy who has been ap-
pointed keeper Of the Segura drug
store went into the building he
found the back door open and
upon investigation numerous arti-
cles removed. It was then that

ROITINC POLES
RECALL LAbORS
Of EARLY DAYS

! WHITEHORSE, Y. There and
there along the basin to the Yukon
river are a few crumbling holes, be-
lieved to be about the only remain
ing visible remnants of a great
futile project launched by the West
ern Union Telegraph Co., over half
a century ago to connect New York
and London with a telegraph line
across Alaska, the Boring Straits
and Siberia
When the project was launched
in 1868 the first OF the Atlantic
cables had been laid but had not
proved much of su cess. Before
the telegraph enterprise got we'll
under way, however, another cable
had been laid across the ocean and
had worked satisfactory. So the
telegraph line plan was dropped after,
it has been said, it cost about
100000 and several lives and
much time had been wasted upon it.
Thousands of miles of the route
selected for the telegraph line lay
through country which at that time
was wholly UNEMPLOYED. 1t was plan
ned to build the line north from
San Francisco, across British Column
bia and down the Yukon basin of
Alaska to point on the Boring
Straits. Here it was to cross on
buoys or anchored boats and con-
meet with line to be built eastward
from Petrograd, then ST. Petersburg,
by the Russian government.
The task got but little way be-
yond the surveying and experimental
stage. Climatic conditions were
studied, experimental lines were
built in Alaska and Siberia and sur
veys were made on both continents.
1t has been said that the TRANSIT
berian railroad, when it was built
later followed many of the survey
lines set out by the American tele
graph corps
Members of the surveying parties
sent North suffered many hardships.
One of the leaders, Robert Kenni-
colt, head of the scientific corps.
died at Nulato, Alaska, from ex-
posture, Another member, George
KEENAN,. who made many surveys
for the line in Siberia, later became
well known as traveller and lee
turer William d. Hall, who sue
ceeded kennicott as head of the
corps, wrote book of his finding
Lake Lebarge, widening of the
Yukon river between here and Daw-
son, was named after Michael Lee
! Barge, member of the expedition.
Although the telegraph survey
parties did not accomplish what thew
set out to do, they did, by their
findings, add much to the knowledge
| the outside world then had of Alaska.
One point they definitely settled was
that the Yukon river, as described by
the trappers of the Hudson Bay COM
pany was the same river that the
Russians spoke of as the Kwipak.

Well Play the Tune.

The following poem was printed IN
the New York Tribune of November -,
1918, with this letter:
Sir: Perhaps you may like to reprint
the inclosed lines, by Scotch lady,
which appeared in THE London
Times" in the autumn of 1914. l believe
them to be parody of an old jingle.
l do not, however. know the original.
Their grim steadfastness has been an
anchor to me in many dark times
through the last four years, and they
were never more pertinent than now,
when we approach the end of the
tragedy.
Dance, since you're dancing, William.
Dance Up and doun;
Set to your partners. William,
Well play the tune.
See, make bow to Paris,
Here's Antwerp toun,

Nay. It's over soon.
