hundred pockets. This mill 5
output has been doubled this year
and its capacity is now six hun.

piece of machinery in this Plant

Another worthy son of New
Iberia in the person of Mr.. Adj
lon Breaux, the young son Of Mr..
}. Fay Breaux sent over trophy
from the battle field Of France
in the shape of a beautiful carved
pipe. In his letter he stated that
had he not had an automatic re-
volver, he would not have been in
possession Of the prize. The pipe
was made by an artist. 1t is about
twelve inches long and has on the
front Of the tobacco bowl a carved
reproduction Of a boar. The smok-
ing piece is made into several Sec
tons and we believe it is one Of
the prettiest articles of smoking
material ever imported into this
country. 1t is now on exhibition
in the show window of the Scharff
store on East Main Street.
