BIG LOAN FOR CHINA

Perkin, Dec. Is (By the Associated
Press. )-The Pacific Development COR
poration Of New York, which recent
ly concluded loan with the Chinese
government for $5,0O0,000 against
treasury notes secured by surplus
revenue of the wine and tobacco ad-

corporation, in a statement regarding
the loan, said that the Pacific Develop
mcnt corporation has no connection
with any, American group or intcrna-
tional group and has undertaken this
business as purely private transac-
ton between itself and the Chinese
government.

her young daughter. Pratt having
warned Cotton to stay away from his

THANK YOU

The present issue of this paper marks the end OF the
first month under the new management.
During this short time we have tried with the material
at hand to raise the standard of the publication. Whether
we have succeeded or not must be decided by each reader
for himself.
We have received the good wishes of hundreds of
friends in this past month, and as a more tangible evidence
of good will nearly two hundred Iberians have greeted us,
dollar in hand, and placed their names upon our list Of
readers.
Arrangements are now underway in The lberian plant
for the doubling in size of our paper, and within a short
time our readers will be receiving eight full pages each
week.
The new sections will consist of the very latest General
News from Parish, State and Nation, short Editorial Para
graphs by some of Americas foremost writer's, illustrated
Travel Lectures, short stories by noted Authors-Popular
Novels in Serial Form, fully illustrated pages of Styles
and Fashions for the well dressed lady, Helpful Live Stock
trated News, and other special features too numerous to
mention.
The support given our efforts thus far encourage us to
believe that the expense in getting out a complete, well
balanced paper will be more than justified, and that Iberia
wants, and will support such a publication.
The rapid growth of our mailing list has occasloned
some delay in the delivery of the papers-and> our phone
has been worked overtime handling notices OF papers not
received. We ask the kind indulgence of our subscrib-
ers during the reorganization ofthe shop but are glad to get
each complaint as these indicate that the paper is tax
ing hold of it's reade RS and is watched for each week.
We thank you for your support thus far, and assure
YOU that with your cooperation H IBERIAN shall be-
come a fitting exponent of the rapidly developing Spirit Of
Progress that shall enable us to build here on the relics of
a dead past a NEW New Iberia.

Lice Increase Cost of

Lice add a cent a pound to the
cost of producing pork. This has
been found in tests just completed
at the experiment farm IF the

culture at Beltsville, Md. Twenty.
four lousy hogs we're secured and
divided into two lots as nearly
equal as to quality of animals as
possible The two lots were man
aged and fed the same way With
the exception that one lot was
treated to prevent lice. The AMI.
mails were weighed at regular IN.
tervals and at the end of the fat.
tening period 1t was found the
hogs infested with lice cost a cent
a pound more to fatten than those
which were free Of the troublesome
pest. The officials Of the depart.
ment who had charge of this ex
pertinent give an interesting side
light in connection with securing
the lousy animals. They communi
Gated with some of the depart
ment's field men, asking them to
locate lousy hogs. 1t was some
time before a reply was received
to this surprising order. After
the lousy hogs we're purchased the
owner learned why, and he imme.
diately built a dipping vat and be.
gan to treat the animals to prevent
lice.

Dealing with specific quarter Sec

been 1926, while in 1919 it would be
$3.50, or nearly three times as great.

said the tax levy would be 81 mills

had asserted. This levy, he said,
would produce more than 100000
more funds than required next year.
Supporting this position he quoted
from letter by Lyman D. Baker of
