MAKE EFFORT
 TO ADJOURN CONVENTION

Little Rock, Aug. 16.-Delegates Galloway, Banks, Reynolds, Partain and Hays led movement in the con- stitutional convention yesterday to adjourn until the third Monday in November. It was stated on the floor by several members that in the pres ent temperament of the convention, it did not seem probable that they would be able to agree on the taxation ar ticle, and that, although the conven- tion had been in session fifty days, there is large number of proposi- tions that have not yet been touched. Finally, the roll call was ordered to ascertain how many members were willing to stay until the work of the convention has been completed. Six ty-nine members answered in the af- firmative, although several made the reservation that they would attend whenever possible, and did not cno- slider themselves bound.
 A motion by Delegate w. H. Arnold prevailed that the secretary be in- structed to write the absentees that their presence is required during the remainder of the session, as fears are expressed that there may not be quorum next wo"',. because so many lawyers must attend court. The sec retary sent tive "-three letters. There are some delegates who have not attended more than week or ten days, while at least one has only two days attendance to his credit.
 The greater part of the day was again devoted to discussion of the taxation question. with more amend ments and substitutes offered that did not appear to come any nearer solu- tion of the veXatious problem upon which the convention had almost threatened to split.

that must be done.
We are trying to lay work be-
fore the people of this State so
that they may understand what
has been done by the Y. w. G. a.
We can't do this without your
help. Will you not give us space
during the next two or three
months? 1t will mean much to
the fine women and girls who
have thrown themselves so I'M
reservedly into the war work. 1t
is the one thing. we, who stay at
home, can do for their comfort
and safety.
We are sending you the mater
ial every week. Will you not
use it?
Yours sincerely,

COUNCIL OF DEFENSE.

On Wednesday as per call OF
The officers of the Council OF De-
Tense a large attendance reported
at the meeting which took place
at the Court House at 4 o'clock.
DR. King, the chairman called the
meeting to order and over one
hundred citizens was in attend
ance Every Ward in the Parish
was well represented and our
country citizens are now as deep
lv interested in helping to carry
out the war measures as are the
citizens of the two towns. The
question of financing the Council
of Defense and the expense to be
incurred in the employment OF a
Labor Inspector was all adjusted
to the satisfaction Of the members
present. 1t was the sense OF the
members that Mr.. Louis Delahous-
save be made the Parish Labor In
spector which position he has ac-
cepted. His duties will be to
make the rounds of the Parish ev-
cry day to see that the work, or
fight edict of the government IS
carried out in every detail and
that the wage scale be lived up
to as agreed by the committee Of
the Council Of Defense. Mr.. Reu-
hin Brown Of .Jeanerette and Mr..
r. A. Jacob of this City will act
as deputies without pay for the
Eighth and Sixth Wards of the
Parish. Aside from that Mr.. Del
ahoussaye will be valuable in see
ing that the labor is we'll dis
tributed, so that no farmer will
lose his crop because of no as
sistance in the way of farm help.
Another matter discussed was the
Registration Of all young men be-
tween the ages Of sixteen to TWEEN
ty and October the 2Sth was made
general registration day: This
part of the war work is to be con-
Quoted under the supervision Of
Parish Superintendent Valet and
the school houses throughout the
Parish designated as the place Of
registration. II was determined
to adopt the sale of buttons to
raise money to defray the ex-
pense incurred by the employment
Of the labor deputy. The buttons
are to be sold among the people
of the Parish who are expected
to contribute towards the expense
Of this department. Secretary
Porter was instructed to order
four thousand buttons which will
be turned over to the Community
Councils to be sold at soc each.

OUR RESPONSIBILITIES.

All the Glass One boys Of Iberia
between q and 81 years of age
and not exempt are now bearing
in the great struggle for clvlllza-
ton and for liberty and still
other calls are being made. The
men So taken have cheerfully pat
aside all their individual hopes
and aspirations, have left their
friends, homes and parents, have
taken up new duties, have crossed
the seas, and are now riskllg
limb and Life in defending us from
German domination. They are
100 per cent patriots and 100 per
cent men. But brave as they are,
these men cannot do all that is
necessary to win the war, nor can
they fight without help from
those of us not taken. There is
comfort and satisfaction in the,
knowledge, that. if overseas there
are many battles to be fought,
redoubts to be stormed and tasks
to be performed. vet there are
battles for us also to fight. tasks
to be performed and sacrifice
made by us to help the boys.
True, our duties are slight, so
slight, as compared to theirs. We
are not required to close our bus
iness, to change our mode of life
to leave our homes, nor to risk
our lives. The calls upon us cam
not be compared to those Of our
enlisted men. We are merely |
asked to pay some additional
taxes, to follow some rules OF
economy and conservation and to
occasionally lend to our govern
ment a small percentage Of our
wealth to enable it to provide for
the necessities of our defenders.
But though our share Of the !
fight is so small in comparison, we
should not underrate its import
ance. nor the positive need that
each of us fairly bear our share.
We must provide for our men,
else our armies cannot fight sue
cessfully. Our boys would then
sacrifice their lives in a hopelessly
unequal struggle. Lives enough
will be lost, tears enough will be
shed, at best. But many times
would deaths and sorrows be null
tiplied should we. over here, neg
lect our duty, or fail to lend to
our government the money to pro-
vide and care for our boys.
We cannot to strongly urge |
upon our people the sacred priv
ileee of doing their full share in
this work, and just now in SUBJ
scribing to and working for the |
Fourth Liberty Loan.

RECLAIM SOUTH LOUISIANA
LANDS.

Mr.. Editor:
A request has been made by
Franklin X. Lane, Secretary Of
Interior, Of Gov. Pleasant that
steps be taken by our State au-
thorities to provide land for SOL
,iiers who will return after the
war. Thinking that our Parish
could offer inducements, | was
prompted to write the Governor
in regards the matter.
Iberia Parish could offer and
has virgin soil, the value of which
has been demonstrated In more
than one instance Some day orr
marsh will be reclaimed-why not
reclaim it now? With goverl-
ment help it could be done and
done quickly a great deal of
this coast land is now under cu!-
tivation in Vermilion parish and
in other parishes. and the cost Of
redeeming these lands was but a
fraction Of the value placed on
them to-day.
Let Iberia wake up to oppor-
tunity and get busy! We have
let other chances go by, let us
take advantage of this.
Yours truly,
w r CARSTENS.. M. j.
