The attention of the Board, ha>-
ing been called to the recent death
of Mr.. Felix 'Patout, member OF
this Board of Directors, it was on
motion resolved:

Patout.
That his long life had, through
out. been one of activity and OF
usefulness, not only to his imme-
date family, but to his many reia-
tives, and to the community in
which he lived. That as a SOL
der of the Confederacy, he had
faithfully served under his coaln-
try's flag during the years Of the
Civil War, and then, returning. he
had bv his energy and intelligent
thrift. successfully overcome the
misfOrtunes and difficulties result
ing from the war, and was long
recognized as one of the most
prosperous planters and success
full business men Of this section Of
the State. That he was a kind
husband and father, and coun-
sellor and advisor to his relatives,
and to those in distress. That he
was always deeply interested IN
matters relating to the welfare Of
this community, and in his older
years his patriotism and love Of

poses, and to the Liberty Loans

Of Germany and her Allies.

SEVEN. COME ELEVEN.

Eleven is a great point in the
game of Craps. The European
war has lent a new charm to the
old one and the number eleven
has assumed a place in history
that will not soon be forgotten. It
will be remembered that the fight
ing in the war was stopped at the
eleventh hour Of the eleventh day
of the eleventh month. Some.
one was curious enough to look
up the eleventh verse Of the
eleventh chapter Of the eleventh
book in the Bible and this is what
he read:
Wherefore the Lord said unto
Solomon. Forasmuch as this is
done of thee, and thou hast not
kept my covenant and my statutes,
which have commanded thee, I
will surely rend the kingdom from
thee, and will give it to the
servant"
The quotation is from the book
Of ! Kings, eleventh chapter and
eleventh erse.-Abbeville Merid-
iOnal.

Baton Rouge, La. Jan. 25.-OEe
of the most Important matters to
be taken up by the Louisiana State
Council of Defense during the
period of adjustment following
the war is the question of Amerl-
canization. Our foreign migrants
must be trained in the duties Of
citizenship. and all persons who
cannot read, write and speak the
English language must be brought
into touch with the night schools
and classes conducted for this pur-
pose. Realizing the vital import-
ance of this work Secretary John
Marshall Of the State Council of
Defense, recently held a confer
ence with Justin F. Denechaud,
Chairman of the State Americana
zation Committee, and who has di-
'rected the AUGMENTATION work
of the State Council since its or
ganization, and they have formu-
lated plans to give every foreign
speaking adult resident of Louis
lana an opportunity to learn the
English language, as well as the
principles Of citizenship. J. E.
jackson, State Naturalization Elk
aminer, is also cooperating in this
work. Night schools have al
ready been established in New Or
leans and a number of successful
meetings have beenhe Id in the
foreign colonies of Plaquemines.

We as state should show our
gratitude for the sacrifices of our
brave sons and honor our heroes.
dead and living. by exalting the
principles for which they strove.
We need to lay new emphasis on
Americanism. Let English be the
speech Of all assemblies and the
primary language in all schools.
Let there be a more complete
knowledge of our own history and
of our own system of government.
Let us start an intelligent move

of all who come here to make q

do not doubt but what many
farmers would be willing to
abandon their holdings rather
than to live where they cannot
get to county seat to transact
business. When people living
eight and ten miles from the Court
! House have to walk in town in
order to act as witness in the
District Court, or perform other
functions in connection with the
Government it is high time that
steps be taken to afford them Inn.
mediate relief. Think of citi-
zen being compelled to walk to
New Iberia from Loreauville in
order to serve on a Grand Jury
because the road is impossible.
There is no one at fault but the
people themselves for neglecting
to build highways that do not go
to pieces with every rain. In a
country such as ours, where there
is such heavy precipitation we
must build roads that will stand
up under the pressure. Dirt roads
have long since been found want
ing and it is surprising steps had
not been taken years ago to build
roads with material that would
last. OF course the highways
must be maintained and sufficient
gravel be kept on hand at all
times to fill in little ruts when
they occur from the heavy traffic.

Wards are again being advertised
for sale and as soon as bond buy
ers can be found the Police Jury
will at once commence with
their construction. It was un-
| fortunate that they could not be

was impossible to find purchasers.
No trouble is expected to inter-
fere with the sale Of the bonds and
as soon as they are disposed OF,
bids will be called for by the Po-
F, lice Jury to undertake the work

PROPERTY HOLDERS ENTER
PROTEST.


stallation of the new Crude Oil
Burning Engine which has caused
considerable annoyance to many
Of the citizens residing in prop
erty in the neighborhood adjacent
to the Electric Light Plant pro-
test was made last Thursday to
the Commissioners. There were
present among the citizens, DR..
H. A. King, Max Levy, Ed. L. Es-
storge, Rev. r. R. Diggs, Geo. J..
Cousin, Rev. Brown, DR.. J. w. X.
Shaw and Lazard King. Com
plants were filed by several of the
gentlemen who stated very posi-
lively that their property was be-
ing injured. in fact, some stated
that they would be compelled to
remove to other parts of the City
if the nuisance was not corrected.
Both Mayor Sealy and Mr.. Viller-
min, representing the Board. ex-
pressed their regret and their
willingness to give relic +
as soon as it was practicable to
do so. The engineer who set up
the machine stated that he
thought as soon as weather condi-
lions changed the vibration would
not be near SO noticeable, that
these same engines were set up in
other cities and never had there
been complaint about the vibra-
ton. He seemed to be confident
that it was due to the extreme wet
spell now confronting this town,
and the poor drainage Of that
neighborhood. He also said that
he was making some little changes
in the machine and as soon as it
would run a few days longer he
thought there would be material
change for the better. Commits
sioner Villermin stated that he,
like Mayor Sealy had made the
investment because Of the great
saving in fuel which amounted in
round figures to 5000 every
twenty-four hours and the prop
erty belonged to the people and
he stood ready to remove the en-
CINE to some secluded place,
despite the cost, but he thought
the residents should consider that
it was the peoples property, aud
could not be cast aside SO easily
since the 1886, 900 investment had
been made. After further dis
cussion the Commissioners con-
Guided that it would be best to|
send of and get an expert to ex-
anime conditions here and the
way the machine was set up to see
If remedy could not be found to
correct the incessant vibration
produced while the machine was
running. This will be done as
quickly as the Commissioners can
get in touch with engineers. If it
is found that it is impossible toI
remedy the trouble, then steps
would be taken to remove the ma
chine to some other place where
there is no two-story houses
which seems to be the ones most
affected.
We felt confident all the time
that the City Commissioners
would not impose any unnecessary
nuisance on the citizens and we
are please to report that they will
soon be in position to ascertain
whether the trouble can be cor
rected or not. II it can, the ma
chine will remain where it is,
if not they will have it placed
il not they will locate it at a spot

ROAD ELECTIONS ALREADY
CALLED.

As stated in our last two mum.
bers, interest is now manifested
in public road construction by the
citizens and of both the City and
Parish that will soon show results
At meeting of the City Commas
sioners some days ago ordinances
were adopted calling for bids fos
the paving of the Main Street OF
New iberia which will be opened
on March 4th by the City Com
missioners. 1t will be noted they
have called for figures on several
different kinds of material. hop
ing thereby TO get the best for the
least money and such terms for the
property holders that no hardship
will be worked upon any one who
owns property on Main Street.
Some Of our citizens are strong adj
vocates of vitrifed brick. while
there are others who seem to th:ak
the wooden block or bithuletic
pavement superior to brick, for
the reason that it is not near so
noisy. Mayor Sealy informed the
reporter Of The Enterprise tina:
it was the intention Of the Com.
missioners to visit several cities
in the State in the very near fu.
ture to ascertain, as near as pos
sible what would be the best ma.
terial to use on our Main Street.
Irrespective Of their investigation
if the property holders express
preference to something different
from what they beside on, they
would still be guided by peti.
ton from the citizens and adop.
whatever the citizens want. OF
course all Of the other streets 10
New Iberia will be graveled 50
that the entire municipality will
have streets that they will be
proud Of in the future. From
what we learn the residents OF
East Side have already petitioned
to have East Side paved with
some material other than gravel.
Whatever they want will be given
to them as each property holder
will have to share a pro rata OF
the cost. This is the correct spirit
and we feel satisfied in the long
run they will be better satisfied
If they insist Of upon a road that
will require but little for it's up
keen.
- At the meeting Of the Police
Jury last Thursday it will be noted
that the Jury has ordered special
elections to vote road taxes in the
Second, Third and Fifth Wards
Of the Parish which is in accord
ance with the wishes Of q major
ity Of the residents Of those
Wards. The elections will be held
on February 9th and the call is
for 1 460, 900 tax in the I'd Ward ;
$40, 600 in the 3rd Ward and $47,-
600 ii the 9Th Ward, and it is a
foregone conclusion that there
will be no opposition to the con-
templated improvements. There
u 10 doubt the country people
have suffered immensely from the
impassable roads within the past

FOOD FACTS

Rice forms the sole article of diet 1T India and Japan and China among the millions of poor laborers, and on Il they do hard physical labor year after year The Japanese soldiers were marvels of endurance and hardihood ir the war with Russia yet their food consisted largely of the simple cereal In the Philippines also. and in Hawaii such nutritious products are the chiei item on every menu.
 To be sure, such farinaceous food is fattening if eaten without balanced menu and the human system needs other ingredients such as acids. min erals, ash, protein: still, rice, especially the natural or brown kind innocent of bleaching, is a most wholesome and cheap food For people who wish to economize and get a maximum value for a minimum cost and for children rice should be used more frequently than it is in American homes. Fancy uneoated head is delicate, clean and delicious. and screening rice and fancy Jap are good grades. It always should be cooked carefully, washed and drained. and the finished product should stand out. each grain delicate and firm
 Cream and sugar, or butter and salt furnish other necessary elements and make nutritious meal, almost perfect in itself. dietetically.
 Another article of deit not used enough is red kidney beans. These are rich and full of nutriment and cheap. especially if bought in bags
