AN APPEAL FROM THE UN.
SECTARIAN AID SOCIETY
TO THE PEOPLE OF
NEW IBERIA.

The first time in the history OF
it's existence the Unsectarian Aid
Society has to appeal to the gen
eral public for funds to carry on
it's noble work among the unfort-
unate in our little City.
The members, with few enter
tainments during the year, have
always been able to render a rea-
sonable amount Of assistance IN
the past, but with the ever in
creasing cost Of all necessities Of
life, they find themselves now
without funds to go further.
At the last meeting ways and
means were discussed for replen-
ishing our finances, and it was de-
cided to make an appeal through
the press and to send a few let-
ters to organized bodies existing
in our midst.
The writer was appointed a
committee of one to take up this
work, and friends, we trust You
will respond with the same gen
erositv that you did to all our APP
paals during the trying time we
made them to you during the war
Please understand this is for oar
own, and when we think of the
generous manner in which our pee
pie always respond to outside
calls. we feel confident we need
say very little more.
Our Society knows no creed. Its
mission is to furnish the necessl-
ties Of life to those who in the
struggle for existence surrender
to adverse circumstances. 1t deals
with the material existence and
the physical being in the admins
tration of it's principles. 1t asks
no thanks and expects no COM
pensation, but it does appeal to
those of higher nature who feel
for the poor and destitute, and
we ask you to come forward and
assist us in our work.
The following committee has
been appointed to receive your do
nations: West End-Mmes. J.
w. TAYLOR and D. A. Dimitry ;
Central-Mr. Maurice Lemaire
East Side-Mrs. Stephen Hale ;
East End-Mrs. Albert Estorge.
Please let this committee have
whatever you are willing to con-
tribute so that few may at least
have their lives frightened on that
day Of "Good will to men, We
thank you in advance.

SUGAR WILL REACH IRE
MENDOUS PRICE, INSISTS
AN EXPERT.

New York, Dec. 1O.-This coun
try will be short a million tons OF
sugar next year and the retail
price may 60 to 25 or 80 cents d
pound, declared R. V. Keller, edi-
tor of Sugar, today. Mr.. Kelle-
went beyond the statements Of ex.
perts who declared that the retail
price Of sugar will rise to Is G,
16 cents a pound by January.
''It is true that sugar will sell
at a minimum Of Is cents pound
in January" said Mr.. Keller
"and by next October will be SCI
ling at 20 cents. In fact. | would
not be surprised to~see 25 or 30
cent sugar in this country even.
tually."' Mr.. Keller agrees with
other experts on the sugar ques-
ton that prolongation of the life
of the Sugar Board will not help
the situation materially. What
Mr.. Keller thinks might be Of
avail is a rationing by the govern
ment Of both the public and the
manufacturers who use sugar in
large quantities.
. Great Britain, where the short
age is more acute than here, is to
put her people on a sugar ration
next year. which will limit her
consumption to one million tons,
half million less than she used
in wartime and million less than
she used in normal times.
"We are paying the price for
,disregarding the law Of supply
and demand" was the explana-
ton given by George F. Mayo,
editor of Facts About Sugar. for
the present near-panic condition
of the sugar market.
"During the war we had gov
ernment control of both the price
and the consumption of sugar.
When the war ended the govern
men tcontiued to control the price,
but the lid was taken off on con-
sumption, and the people used as
much sugar as they wanted.
cit was an unbalanced situa-
tion and the inevitable happened.
Now it remains for the law Of
supply and demand to stabilize,
things in a natural way"
Cuba is grinding a sugar crop
that is bound to relieve the sugar
scarcity throughout the world,
declared Armando Lopez. Cuban
vice-consul in New -Xork, on his
arrival from Havana today. NJ.
Lopez said he thought the sugar
situation would return to normal
within ninety davs, and that
thereafter there would be no rea-
son either for scarcity or for ad-
vance in prices.
he said the Cuban plantation
owners are banding together to
hold down the price, receiving at
present 4 1-2 cents pound. He
said it might rise to II cents a
pound, but no higher. and added
that at the latter price sugar
would climb to Is cents a pound
retail in Cuba and Is cents in the
United States.

Zone of the Times loyal little friends
has asked us to publish this-the
most popular selection of the kind. }
Twas the night before Christmas,
when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring,
not even a mouse;
The stockings were hung
by the chimney with care,
In hopes that st. Nicholas
soon would be there.
The children were nestled
all snug in their beds,
While visions of sugar-plums
danced In their heads;
And Mamma in her kerchief,
and / in my cap,
Had just settled our brains
for long winters nap,
When out on the lawn
there arose such clatter,
/ sprang from my bed
to see what was the matter.
Away to the window
/ flew like flash,
Tore open the shutter
and threw up the sash.
The moon, on the breast
of the new-fallen snow,
Gave a lustre of midday
to objects below;
When, what to my wondering
eyes should appear,
But a miniature sleigh
and eight tiny reindeer,
With a little old driver,
so lively and quick,
/ knew in a moment
it must be St. NickI
More rapid than eagles

And he whistled and shouted.
and called them by name:
Now, Dasher! Now, Dancer, now
Prancer and Vixen!
On, Comet! on, Cupid!
on, Dunder and Blitzen!-
To the top of the porch.
to the top of the wall,
Now, dash away, dash away,
dash away, ALI"
AS dry leaves that before
the wild hurricane fly,
When they meet with an obstacle,
mount to the sky,
So, up TO the house-top
the coursers they flew,
With the sleigh full of toys
and St. Nicholas, too.
And then in a twinkling,
l heard on the roof
The prancing and paving
of each little hoof.
AS I drew in my head,
and was turning around,
Down the chimney st. Nicholas
came with a bound.
He was dressed all in fur
from his head to his foot,
and his clothes were all furnished
with ashes and SCOT;
A bundle of toys he had flung
on his back, -
And he looked like a peddler
just opening his pack.
His eyes, how they twinkled.
his dimples, how merry!
His cheeks were like roses,
his nose like cherry;
His droll little mouth was
drawn up like a bow,
And the beard on his chin was
as white as the snow.
The stump of pipe he held
tight in his teeth.
And the smoke 1t encircled
his head like a wreath.
He had broad face
and a little round belly
That shook, when he laughed,
like bowl full of jelly.
He was chubby and plump
a right jolly old elf:
And laughed when ! saw him,
in spite of myself,
A wink OF his eye.
and twist of his head,
Soon gave me to know
/ had nothing to dread.
He spoke not a word.
but went straight TO his work,
And filled all the stockings;
then turned with jerk,
And laying his finger
aside of his nose.
And giving nod,
up the chimney he rose.
He sprang to his sleigh,
to his team gave whistle,
And away they all flew
like the down of thistle.
But l heard him exelaim,
ere he drove out of sight,
Happy Christmas to all,
and to all a good night"

SHALL THE FILIPINos BE FREE ?

Alleged statesmen who are making
so much fuss about mixing up in
other peoples quarrels are taking
but little interest in the agitation for
the independence of the Philippine
Islands.
A good many years ago the Unit
ed States saw fit to mix up in quar-
rel which many said did not concern
us, yet we got in with both feet and
we settled the quarrel with many
lives and $20,OOO,O 900 as a sweetener,
and inherited the Philippine Islands.
We then went to work to civilize
the natives and have had very fair
success. Besides making them capa-
BILE of self government we have
placed many politicians in comforta-
BILE places, putting them to work
where they might be of some value to
the world.
But just as we get the savages
tanned to the point where it is safe
to go among them without a portable
arsenal they come and ask to cut
loose from US and be a country of
