A BETTER DAY COMING.

New Iberia has had its dull days.
but it was not destined to always re-
main dull just because there was bit
of unpleasantness existing between
the leading nations on the other side
Of this globe Of ours. We have in this
section practically escaped all disas-
ters and enjoy An early spring and a
splendid prospect for bountiful mar
vest in the tall. In fact the harvest
promises to be all that the depleted
man-power of this section can conve.
Diently take care Of between showers.
Thus, rich harvest, with the high
ruling prices for every article of pro.
duce, prompts the anticipation Of not
only an active business this fall and
winter, but that we will be amply able
10 appropriately remember all those
who are ably representing this nation
On the firing line of the world war in
Europe.
Last years harvest was by no means
4 failure, but the coming one should
be made high water mark for COM
sug years for not only all endeavor in
the field, but in every line, in the fac
tory, in the forest, In lake and stream.
We must literally provide for our
boys as they are preparing for going
over the top" We should help to the
limit Of our resources in making Free
dom safe for the world and our prom
Uses to our allies more than scraps of
paper" An American pledge, prom
Use or undertaking should represent
the honor of this nation and should
command the respect of the most pow.
erful nation Of the world.
Ifthe force of our arms can be made
potent enough to command the res
pect Of our enemies and their salute to
our flag, we will not have lived nor en-
deavored In vain. To do these things
and continue to live in this world as
free men, and not as vassals Of any
prince or potentate, we must exert ev-
cry effort in putting the pending Lib
erty Loan over the top expenditiously.
This nation has learned to accunu-
late both public and private wealth.
The expanding of such wealth for IL
berty, for American honor and Amer
lean ideals should be directed by Am
erican liberality. We should resist
every impulse to grow sordid.
Freedom and liberality shall be the
heratige of those who will come after
us.

UNCALLED
FOR.

In the February issue Of the
Red Cross Magazine there appear
ed a poem by Rudyard Kiphng, in
which an unfortunate reference
was made to the Catholic Church.
The poem was inserted in the
Magazine at the last minute by
the Editors, without having been
submitted to Washington. II was
regarded purely as contribution
from KipliDg, the Editors not
sensing the retlexiOn on the CathO
lie Church which 1t contained.
In a telegram received Wednes
day from IL. ID. Gibson, General
Manager of the American Red
Gross, by Leigh Carroll, Manager
of the Gulf Division, MI. Gibson
says: at is matter of greatest
concern to the War Council of the
American Red Cross that this
should have happened, and they
regard it IS a serious error
While the American Red Cross is
non .sectarian, every one knows
the splendid help and co operation
it has had from the Catholic ev
erywheTe both In contributions
and in active service IN its otiicla
ranks, and in view of this spirit il
is to be hoped Catholics every
where will understand that thu
appearance of this poem was tn,
result of an oversight. The mex
issue of the Red Gross Magazine
will contain an editorial Of SINGER,

POLL OF CITY AND

More than three hundred men and
women Thursday began the work OF
making an accurate poll of Wayne
township. including the city of Rich
mond in behalf of the government S
thrift stamp campaign.
In most of the wards the field men
held meetings Wednesday night. poll
ing books were given out and plans
made for assigning to each poll taker
single square block. The work must
be completed and in the hands of JO.
sept H. Hill. township chairman. by
Wednesday night Of next week.
The work of establishing selling
agencies in all parts OF the city also is
to be taken I'D Immediately. and it is
anticipated that practically every
store handling merchandise in Rich.
mond will soon qualify as first elias
agency, As quickly as they are es
tablished they will be announced
through the press by the township
chairman.
The demand for thrift stamps and
savings certificates still continues al
the postoffice and the banks. The
school children. probably. have had
much to do with the increased sales
during the last week. Not only are
they buying thrift stamps them selves
hut their enthusiastic work in behalf
of the governments campaign has re
suited in thousands of sales.

Haze Hares Instead of
Monkeys at Park, is Tip
of Miss Meb Culbertson

Miss Meb Culbertson, secretary OF
the Wayne County Council of Defense,
has suggested to Mayor Zimmerman
that the monkeys burned in the recent
fire at Glen Miller be replaced with
Belgian hares.
The hares could be raised for food,
she says. and would be equally as ap-
propriate an entertainment for the
children. DR.. Zimmerman has the
plan under consideration.
Miss Culbertson saws the cost OF
buying monkeys and obtaining the par
ticular sort of food they need is high
and they produce nothing of intrinsic
value
She objects to using the green house
at the park for raising flowers.
We need thousands of cabbage and
tomato plants this spring for people
who haven't the money to buy them
and il would be much better to use
the green house for this purpose than
to grow exotics, which cost great
deal as well.' she said
Miss Culbertson is in favor OF turn
ing loose flocks of sheep and goats
to browse in the park and add to the
meat supply and. in the case of the
goats, of the milk supply.

Army Board Besieged by
Men Who Want to Pick
Branch of Service.

Those selected men who take advan-
tage OF the war departments new
policy and enlist at the army board
will be sent to their posts next Thurs
day.
They must have their application on
file with the board by next Tuesday
night.
Offices of the army board at the
court house were crowded Thursday
morning with registrants who sought
of the service for which they are elig-
ible.
Wednesday evening Chairman Carr
and Clerk Kelly Of the board were be-
sieged with registrants. Carr says he
answered at least so telephone queries
and he talked to two men out of his
bedroom window after he had retired
Wednesday night.
Expect at Least 100.
The army board officials expect at
least 100 and possibly 200 regstrants
to take advantage of the opportunity
offered to enlist in one of four
branches of the service and. virtually,
to select the training camp desired.
All that is required of men in the
first class is for them to signify their
desire to enlist and designate the
service. Listing their name is suffic-
lent for induction In the case of men
placed in deferred classes on depend
ency grounds signature of dependents
to waivers is required also.
Seven men in Glass One were &C
cepted by the medical examiners We'd

able to be examined in their turns.
They We're: Robert Ewing, Harry l..

were: Chalsey Shelter, Edwin Habig-

was negation Of his whole policy.
His authority was so weakened by that
step that even if he had been present
he would have been merely prisoner
behind Lenine's chariot wheels and
would have had to vote against him
self
There was silence in the hall. such
silence as In court when the Judge is
about to pass the death sentence
Lenine came confidently to- the trib-
une, and In a fifteen minutes speech
gave a relentless, Unrhetorical state
ment of his position. He insisted that
Russia could best serve the world
revolution by preserving as much az
possible and strengthening the Soviet
Government and keeping IT in exist
ence. until the opposing groups OF the
ighting powers should reach exhaus-
tion and resulting resolution. He laid
stress on the impossibility OF resist.

Seven days notice before closing the
armistice would have allowed change
from Trotzky's policy to Lenine's. The
seven days was not given. and the Gov
ernment was suddenly faced with a
German advance at the moment when
it had practically no forces with which
to meet it. With the view Of saving
what was left OF the revolution, Trot-
zky, after hesitation, went over to
Lenine's side in the discussion, and
telegram was sent. The urgency was
such that there was no time to call a
meeting Of the Central Executive.
Storm Of Indignation.
As soon as the news of the telegram
OF capitu!ation was published there
was treble storm Of indignation. The
opposition parties. OF course. seized
upon it for political ends, and illogical
ly attacked the Government for trying
to conclude peace and at the same time
for having failed to conclude peace
