CELEBRATING FARMER 8
PROSPERITY.

The sugar house party glver
last Tuesday night at the M. A
Patout & Sons sugar house turned
Into an elaborate banquet with
all it's collateral incidents, highly
enjoyed by every participant
Naturally the hosts came in for a
great deal of commentator and
praise due to their enterprise
their progressive spirit, and their
liberality expressed and realized
in civic pride and performance.
The repast was a masterpiece OF
epicurean skill and execution.
The oyster gumbo was delight to
: the chords of the palate. The
turkey lying still in its majestic
form and contours was irresistible
to the mass appetite that event
ually caused its disappearance.
The sucking pig of several ten
pound weights was a revelation
in its sleep on the big platter and
a challenge to the reverenced pro-
hibition of the Ten Commandments.
By unanimous consent and with a
legitimate claim to deposition,
Judge Simon was heralded as
POSTMASTER, and his performance
neatly and satisfactorily delivered.
The call being made on Jules
Dreyfus for one Of the first toasts
resolved itself into a discussion
OF the battling reconstruction
movement as the appropriations
of governments covering that
subject. An increased output of
articles Of consumption and use
for mankind is as essential to set
tie that vexing problem of high
cost Of living as government con-
troll Of rrices and government
distribution of material. No bet
ter service can be rendered bv
anyone to the restoration or nor
NAL times and the rehabilitation
of everv man and party connected
with active warfare than to in
crease production which will kill

held the grandest initiation in this
part Of the State this year, There
were sixty-three candidates init
lated in the ranks Of Columbian
/ ism, making New Iberia Council
membership over two hundred.
The initiation ceremonies were
held under the direction Of Dis
trict Deputy L. 0. Pecot Of Frank
lin, La. The first and second De-
grees were put on by the Jeane-
rette team, under the leadership
Of Grand Knight Minvielle, and
this being their second trial, they
are to be congratulated on the ex
cellent way which the work was
carried through. The third De-
gree was put ON 'bv the famous
New Orleans team. No. ia, which
indeed every Knight of Columbus
in the South knows to be the best
third Degree Team in the coun-
try and especially with State
Deputy John x. Wegmann as the
leader.
State Deputy Wegmann con-
graduated New iberia Council on
the rapid progress it is making in
the good work Of Columbianism,
Brother Wegmann even went SO
far as to state that with the
spirit New Iberia Council
has, that it would not surprise him
to see within short while New
Iberia Council No. 1908 the larg-
est Council in the State, outside
of New Orleans.
Despite the very cold weather

over two hundred candidates and
Knights that marched from st
Peters College to st. Peters
Catholic church to attend High
Mass that was said by Very Rev.
J. M. Langlois, V. g., chaplain Of

which started at 1:30 P. M. and

BANK DEPOSITS STEADILY
GROWING.

As an indication of the unpre
cedented prosperity in this Par
ish this season, one has simply t.
investigate the statements Of oul
three financial institutions, tn,
New Iberia National Bank, the
Peoples National Bank and the
State National Bank. The first
mentioned has on deposit at this
writing $1,067 ,994.23, the largest
amount since this institution was
founded. In assets it has 81, 746,-
1880 and Mr.. John Schwing,
the courteous cashier should have
every reason to feel fattered with
the 1919 business.
The next having the greatest
amount of individual deposits and
total assets is the State National
Bank, under the supervision of
Mr.. j. Robert Perry. It has on
deposit 1925, 10000 with total as
sets amounting in round figures
to $1,O9O,OOOOO. A remarkable
showing considering the age Of
this institution. And the menu
bers Of the board of dictatorship
are looking forward also to .
greater volume Of business dur
ing 1920. tFfsIoT ATS
The Peoples National Bank,
under the MANAGEMENT Of Mr.. +.
E. Delhommer, cashier, and Mr.,
Chas. L. Provost its active pres
ident, have doubled their deposits
within the last five years. They
can now boast of having as indi-
vidual deposits, $646, 900 and total
assets Of $83S,314.80. They too,
are looking forward to a million
dollar deposit in a year or two
more.
The individual deposits Of the
three banks in this City is a fairly
good indication that our country
las never been in more pros
porous financial condition. I'll
must be borne in mind that there
are two fourishing banks in our
sister town Of Jeanerette and also
enc at Loreauville.. Delcambre
and even at Erath that in a great
measure divides up the business
with the banking houses in this
City. s. y.

They are also confident that for some
time he came out of hiding during the
might. and was aided by comrades, who
furnished food, water and cigarettes.
That he finally became i'll and was
unable to leave his hiding place is also
probable. This discovery of Harley
followed report of children at play
about the building that they had heard
groans cmanating from under the
building. AS yet he has been unable
to tell his story to the attendants at
the hospital. Circulated reports that
the man is the victim of sleeping sick
ness are not corroboratcd by the Of
ficials, although they have found that
he often acted peculiarly on number
OF occasions and that while in
French hospital was listed as victim
of shell shock. Weighing 16l pounds
when he enlisted in the navy last May,
giving his address as Go Fairmont
avenue, Philadelphia Pa, Harley
weighed but 61 pounds when examined
at the naval hospital Sunday. His face
was covered with a beard OF several
weeks growth. Evidences were also
found under the building that he had
smoked cigarettes and had been fur
nished or personally procured food and
water, as long as able to forage at
night That this was impossible with
out the aid of comrades, is the general
belief at the base. Naval officials have
directed a thorough investigation Of
the disappearance and manner of e%-
istence OF Harley during his Go days
absence.
