NEW IBERIA AND JEANE-
RETTE HONORED BY FLIER
LAST "WEDNESDAY.

On Wednesday evening Mr.,
Philip Mcmahon. a son Of our
former fellow-citizen Mr.. r. s.
Mcmahon made one Of his cross
country trips from the Grestner
field at Lake Charles to the field
at Jeanerette. He passed over
our City about two o'clock in the
afternoon on his way to Jeane-
rette and before alighting per-
formed numerous remarkable feats
in his by-plane, some two thou
sand feet in the clouds. The citi-
zens of our sister town made him
welcome and entertained the
young gentleman while he was
their guest. At about Z 80 in the
afternoon while on his return trip
to the Gerstner field, Mr.. McMa-
hon gave another exhibition, IN
fact made loop the loops and other
stunts to show what control he
has already attained with the fight
ing machine. The citizens Of his
home town regretted he did not
alight to receive their congratula-
tions.

Help to Save
Nations Food Supply

In this time Of high cost Of liv-
ing, everybody should use all pos
sible means to prevent waste and
to help save food. No one means
can be more effective than Wig
orous campaign to exterminate
rats which destroy over two hun
dred million dollars worth of
foodstuffs annually. Keep gari,-
age in rat-proof cans, stop up
their holes, and above all EXTERN
mate them with Stearns' Paste,
which can be bought at any store.
Probably there is no easier nor
more effective method of extermi-
mating rats than with this scien-
tific product which has been used
successfully by the y. s. Govern
ment in it's different campaigns
against the rat. A small box,
costing only few cents, will
usually completely free the house
from rats and mice. It will also
effectuallv destroy cockroaches
and waterbugs.

NEIGHBORHOOD OBLIGA-
TIONS.

The war should and doubtless
will teach us to ''bear one anoth-
er's burden" and thus fulfill the
law Of Christian citizenship rs
well as the divine law. The great
responsibility now resting upon
America should humble Ameri-
cans and bring them to a. knowi-
edge of the truth that they are
in fact their brothers keeper.
We cannot do the things that
must be done to win this war
and maintain our ideals of citi-
zenship without sympathy for
and cooperation with our neigh
bors. No nations can be strong
in military power that is not
strong in social and economic re-
sources. The people are the
strength Of the nation and the
army and the navy are composed
of men who have recently been
recruited from civil life.
Neighborhood harmony should
be sought. Good viii among men
should characterize every rural
community. The time has come
when we must appreciate our
neighbors, help them and accept
their favors and with others. seek
those who may be assisted TO
greater production and more COM
Portable living with view of
SHARING the burdens Of war. This
is the way to win.-Farm and

Last Monday the committee Of
citizens appointed to make the

! Loreauville and the entire Parish
began the work in real earnest,

real canvas to sell the stamps.
Iberia Parish s quota is $685.
10000 and every one who can az
ford to buy stamps is expected TO
come forward and sign the cards
obligating themselves to assist the
government. Remember these
gentlemen have volunteered I'll
give their time and assistance, as
well as their own subscription 70
the great cause undertaken by
this government, and they should |
lie met in the proper spirit and a |
quick response. so as to wind no
the campaign on June 2eth if pos
sible and ego over the top"
The only way this large amount
can be realized SIS by each one do
ing his or her share and it must
be done, or else it will be a reflec-

liens. We feel assured the CON-
mittees will have no trouble and
meet with ready responses by the

No one is anxious about a
young man while he is busy in
useful work. But where does
he eat his lunch at noong Where
does he 90 when he leaves his
boarding house at night? What
does he do after supper? Where
does he spend his Sundays and
holidays? The way he uses his
spare moments reveals his char
acter. The great majority of
youths who 60 to the bad are
ruined after supper. Most Of
them who climb upwards to honor
and fame devotes their evenings 70
study or work or in the society
of those who can help and i'm
prove them. Each evening is a
crisis in the career of a young
man. There is deep significance
in the lines of Whittier:
This day we fashion Destiny, our
web Of fate we spin;
This day for all hereafter choose
we holiness or sin.

WHAT HAVE YOU GIVEN UP?

Have you given up your job and
let your business future take care
of itself?
Have you said good-by to your
family and friends and all you
hold dear?
Have you begun an entirely new
career that may end, if you live,
with health impaired. an arm off.
a leg gone, an eye QUIT
Have you given up your bus:-
ness future and said goodbye
and taken a chance on coming
back alive and we'll. and done it
all with a cheerful heart and with
a grim determination to do all
YOU possibly can for your coun-
try9
And do you only at times-in
the evenings, perhaps, when the
light in the sky slowly fades
away-feel so homesick and so
lonesome that you are fearful you
will not have the courage to 90
your part after all?
You have not done these
things All, / see, you are not
one of our Army or Navy boys;
you are a stay-at-home person.
Well, there have to be 20 or
more stay-at-home persons for
everyone who goes, and so GER
tainlv no disgrace attaches to be-
ing one if you fully appreciate
what those boys who do 60 have
to give no and if you support
them to the limit Of your ability.
National War Savings Day IS
June %. That day, gives you the
opportunity of showing in a prac-
teal way that you do appreciate
what it means to the boys who go.
Pledge yourself on or before that
dav to save to the utmost OF your |
ability and to buy War Savings
Stamps that there may be more
money. labor, and materials to
hack no those who fight and die
for you.

If Master Arnandez develops
his ability as he grows for max
ing money, he will be power in
the financial world as he only had
a small basket Of plums.
As we have nothing to report
in the way of work, our rooms
being closed, by order of the Gulf
Division, we think it would not
be amiss to say q few words about
the decentralization Of our work,
and give the names Of the officers
of the Chapter, as it is SO long
since anything has been said about
them we have been asked several
times who they are: Chairman.
Mrs. G. w. Cultivate; Vice Chair
man, Mrs. w. G. Weeks; Secre-
tary, Mrs. Louise Hine; Treas

Before we begin work we will
endeavor to run the department
Of Woman's Work as outlined by |
the Gulf Division and hope tol
have all appointments ready forl
the different position in time for
the Board Of Directors to approve
them by next week.
We wish to say to the various
women who will be selected, that
unless they have some real good
reason. we ask them not to re-
fuse, for this work is getting, SO |
big that the few who have held
it up, must have help. or we are
not doing our duty by the men
who are leaving us in comfort and
peace on this side.
OF course. we understand, that |
some Of us win always have more |
time than others to give to war
work. but all can do something. |
