which is not over yet. caused be-
cause aid could not be given and
which will be with us for several
years according to the opinions Of
some of the leading doctors in the
United States. Then again Mr.
Countrymen where you now pay
$500. $500 and even $1,000 to
get medical assistance, does it not
occur to you that these prices will
be cut into by your family phys
clan, and willingly too, because OF
the ease and quick time the trip
is being made to your home
Again the rural mail deliveries
throughout the Parish which is
quite a convenience to every one
who appreciates its advantages,
may not remain with you mucl
longer, if we do not improve the
roads. This position was taken
many years ago by the govern
ment and you must provide high
ways, if you wish the mail wagon
to drive at your door once and
twice each day.
Let every one who loves his
neighbor, and loves his country,
fall in line and vote the tax on
March the 4th. You owe your
country that much-if you do not
care for the conveniences Of your
immediate family. Do not OPP
pose this small tax now that yOa
have an opportunity to get relief
from bad roads. Take the lead,
and let your community go on
record as one that stands for ad-
vancement at all times. Show
those who are lukewarm that they
are in error if they fail to record
their approval to projects of this
kind. If you do not vote the tax
now we are positive you will later.
Why delay the work mapped out
now and COMPEL a double ex-
pense at some future time? Dirt
roads are impractical and a loss
of money. The experiment has
been a costly one and bankrupted
the Parish several years ago. Ev-
cry dollar spent on a dirt road IS
throwing it away and it behooves
you to join with your neighbor at
once to push the campaign for

EXPLAINS DEATH OF LIEUT..
IRENUS LETEMEYER.

Settlers, Germany. Dee. q, Is.
Fred NJ. Lietemeyer, New Iberia,
La:
Dear sir-Was in my room to,
night writing a few letters home
when the c. o Of F. Co. brought
me your letter inquiring about
Lieut.. Lietemeyer. l will give
you all information / can and rot
even wait for the clerk to tyl =
write it.
Lieut.. Lietemeyer and l were
just like brothers, for W. were
both in the same Company ever
since last October in Waco, Texas.
We came over here in the same
stateroom, roomed together after
We got here. Went on raiding
parties together in Alsace. in fact
wherever one of us were you could
find the other.
Well, We moved up into the
Chateau-Thierry sector and went
over the top the 3lst of July. all
went along fine, we drove the
Boche back towards the Ves!e
river every day. That was our
objective. On the second day
our Captain was wounded, took
command Of the Company. there
was only Lieut.. Letemeyer and
myself left Of the Company Off
GERS. We were resting in back OF
hill at St. GILES and had orders
to 90 over and get them at three
P. NJ, August End. We got icely
started over the top Of the hill and
Lieut.. Lietemeyer remarked
"Say, Norm, Fritz is using let
Of machine guns today and not SO
much artillery, that's pretty
soft" And he was right, every
thing went lovely till we got abont
one-half mile from Fermes, then
Fritz opened up from our. right
flank. The two of us dropped,
like one man. Lieut.. Lietemeyer
said: "Norm, they got me m
here" and he pointed to his left
chest. l stopped and cut his
clothes off and dressed his wound
just above the heart and gave
him a drink of water. He seemed
to be all O. X. and said: LOOK
out for yourself Norm, and don 7
take any fool chances, so long.
And l left to go with the Com
pany. A few days later l received
word from the hospital that he
was dead. We were in that battle
five days and six nights and | lost
thirty-three killed and 1O6 woun-
ded including all of our officers
excepting myself and we were the
original Company, trained to-
gether and new each other for
many months. To-day there are
% men and no officers who came
over with the original 246 last
February for the march into Ger
many. now have Company f.
same regiment. The army lost a
very capable officer and / lost a
very dear friend.

PARISH ROAD TAX ELEC-
TIONS.

y
TO many Of our readers in the
shape of Police jury proceedings
which consumes several columns
Of this journal, is in reality the
most effective for the welfare OF
the people, we have published for
many months. 1t is none other
than the call for special tax cleo
tons to build model gravel roads
in the Second, Third and Fifth
Wards Of the Parish. 1t will be
noted all of the elections will take
place on the 4th day of March.
In Ward Two it is proposed to
issue bonds to the extent of $780,
10000; Ward No. 8. $3O.OW.0o
and Ward 5, $47, 10000.
Taxes have already been voted
by the property holders in the
Sixth. Seventh and Fourth Wards
and just as soon as the voters
give their approval to these pro.
posed bond issues then the work OF
road construction will begin IN
dead earnest. We feel certain no
citizen who has the interest of the
Parish at heart will let anything
interfere with this duty that re
owes his community as well as
himself. The public roads in this
Parish have cost the people-all
of them-hundreds Of dollars an
nually and what have they to
show for it but bog holes and
roads that are disgrace. The
tax they pay daily because OF
broken vehicles, worn out horses
and loss of time far exceeds any
outlay they might make to i'm
prove the conditions Of highways
leading to their properties. There
are some few, whom We under
stand seem lukewarm because the
proposed roads, in some instances
do not lead right up to their front
or back yards. This should be no
good valid reason to oppose
building road that leads to one
or even two miles Of any farm.
Once the roads are built with
special taxes the Police jury will
then have sufficient funds to ex-
tend them because there will be no
money-for several years at least
used to maintain them. In all
instances there should be a small
maintenance fund reserved from
the taxes voted so that the Police
Jury will not be compelled to
furnish gravel from the start to
fill in little ruts as they might oc-
cur from time to time. Let all
pull together on March the Attn
and carry the small taxes pro-
posed. No better investment can
be made. The great convenience
of model highway leading to ev-
cry community in the Parish will
make country life in Iberia what
it should BET 1t will enable your
children to attend school every
day within a few minutes, instead
of several hours as the case might
be. Where. a buggy now takes
two, a one-horse carriage or Ford
car will then be in position to
carry q dozen children to school.
Then when sickness sets in, there
will be no trouble about securing
medical aid at any time. day or
night. The recent experiences OF
many Of the country people living
miles from New Iberia should be
a lesson to all what good roads
means to each member of the FAINT
lily. There were, to our knowl-
edge. six or eight deaths during
the recent influenza epidem,c
