DIR. GRAY'S LECTURE.

GRAY in the Elks Theatre last
Monday evening was one i'll
which we are sorry every man,
woman and child in New Iberia
were not present. DR.. Gray was
introduced by Prof L. R. lilly
and his remarks anent The Is
sentials of a Good Town.. was
one of the best we have heard for
MANY years. The gentleman came
here principally to close a con
tract if possible. for the Radcliffe
Chatauqua Association, but owing
TO the condition Of the roads and
the great amount Of sickness pre-
vailing but little inducement was
altered for the attraction to re-
tnrn here this wear. He delivered
a forcible address and among the
things he alluded to for the better
ment of the community was 10y
alty on the part Of every citizen.
He said in part: ai
"The first word in the vOcabn-
larry Of good town is loyalty. No
town is prosperous where its CIT
liens are not loyal. The good cit
izen will keep his home and ev-
erything pertaining to it in good
repair The gates will not sag,
the front lawn will be free from
rubbish and the house will be
painted when it needs it. The
good citizen will be loyal to the
schools. He will see to it that the
teachers are qualified and we'll
paid that the buildings are ade-
quate and sanitary and that every
child be given and compelled to
accept chance for an education.
The U. S. Bureau Of Education
has recently given out some fig
ures that are startling. More
than 100000 people in this
country over ten years of age can
not read or write English. There
are !, 5O0,0W who can not read or
write any language. There are
$4,000 voters in America VINO
can not read the constitution. IS
There are 10000 farmers in
this country who know no English.
There. are Sl8.550 children in
this country between the. ages OF
10 and 20 who are illiterate.
S72 out of every 1000 criminals.
paupers and inmates of asylums
are illiterate.
In. India only five percent can
read or write and the average
farm wages are eight cents day.
The educated man has 800 times
more chances for leadership than
the nneducated. TO allow a boy
to grow up in ignorance is crime.
Even mule is given some educa-
ton. The country that can raise
fifteen billion dollars in one year
for war on another continent will
soon see to it that illiteracy is
banished from America like a
wolf providing about and that ey-
cry last individual who enjoys the
protection Of our flag shall be able
to read and write the English
language.
The good citizen will be loyal
to the church. There are spots on
the sun but they would not be
seen were it not for the light Of
the sum. So with the church. II

IBERIA's ASSESSMENT ROLLS,

Editor Enterprise:
Dear Sir-We notice in your is
sue of Saturday, January %. 1919,
an article headed by the caption

State Board of Affairs, " in which
appears an extract Of a letter sent
by this Board to Assessor La
Bauve, with reference to the re-
fusal of the Board of State AT
fairs to accept the assessment roll
of the Parish Of iberia for 1918.
Believing that it is your desire
to do justice to all parties con-
icerned. we are enclosing copy OF

dated January 14th, and would
ask that you kindly publish same
in full III your next issue. so as to
bring out all of the facts and place
the responsibility where it prop
erly belongs. The inference that
would be drawn from the extract
published would lead one, unac-
quainted with the entire facts, to
believe that this Board had un-
Justly fixed values against the tax
payers of Iberia Parish for local
purposes, when as matter Of fact
"a careful reading Of our letter Of
January 14th will show that this
Board fixed valuations. in accord
ance with the facts before it. and
in compliance with law. that are
entirely fair to residents as well
as non-residents of the Parish Of
Iberia.
Since our letter Of January 14th
to Assessor LaBauve, we are in re-
ceipt of letter from him under
date of January 22nd, to which
we replied under date Of January
!2Sth. We are enclosing copies Of
these letters and ask that you also
publish same.
Again requesting that you kind
Iy give space to the above in your
next issue, and with kindest re-
CARDS. we are

Dear Sir Your deputy assessor.
Mr.. Pickett. was in this office this
morning, with reference to secur-
ing our approval of the assess
ment roll Of iberia Parish. This
we have refused to do, and verb
ally stated to Mr.. Pickett the rea-
son for our action. ues f.4
In order to bring this matter to
your official attention. we now
state why we will not approve the
actual value as shown in yoir|
assessment roll. 9sss51
First. The valution of all prop
erty subject to taxation in your
Parish, as fixed by this Board for
State purposes. shown on the said
assessment roll. is $19,232,079OO.
The actual value Of this identical
property, as shown OH your as
sessment roll and fixed by the 70
lice Jury and Yourself, is ST., 1885,
965 90, or a difference as between
actual values of $1,736.114.OO. In
other words, you have decreased
the actual value Of property for
parochial purposes in the sum OF
ST 1876, 114.OO less than the value
established for State purposes.
Under authority Of Section II
Of Act 1O4 Of 1916. as amended by
Act 211 Of 1918, the values as
fixed by this Board for State prf-
pones must apply for parochial
and all other purposes, and OBJ
serving as pointed out in the above
paragraphs of this letter, that you
have differentiated as between
State and parochial valuations,
we are forced to refuse our ap'
prevail.

AUTO
STOLEN IN PARIS

A nervy thief stole Capt. Sam
P. Burnam's Buick roadster from
in front of a garage at Paris Sun
day after Capt. Burnam had plac-
ed It with the garage for storage,
After using it probably as much
as he desired, the thief took lit
tie trip to Winchester and left the
car there, wher Capt. Burnam re-
covered it Monday. The roadster
is painted green and therefore
easily identified. The thief had
evidently done considerable rough
riding in the machine, for it is
damaged about $500 worth, and
Capt. Burnam will look to the
Paris garage to make it good, it
is understood.

Most men who own watch think
they know all about it. They have
the number fixed in their memory in
case it is stolen. They could prob
ably pick it out from fifty other
watches with their eyes shut. But
how many men know that their
watch is a compass and will tell
north from south as accurately as it
will tell the time of day? Stanley,
the, explorer, did not know it until
he had CROPPED his way through the
dark continent ard met Belgian
sailor on the coast. Every watch is
a compass. If yru point the hour
hand to the sun the south is exactly
half way between the hour and the
figure XII on the dial. Suppose for
instance, it is 4 o'clock. Point the
hand indicating to the sun and the
XII on the watch is exactly south. If
it is o'clock point the hand indi
eating 8 to the sun and the figure X
on the dial is due south. No man
need get lost if he carries a watch.

grown by leaps and bounds,' manufactur- | CTS have developed their service systems
 to keep pace. This involves maintenance superintend the service policies of the dealers as well as employment of trav- cling transportation and mechanical ex- perts to inaugurate the service policies of the company and advise the purchaser of a truck to efficient and economical operation and maintenance. In these days of factory supervised service it is pos sible for truck owner to obtain prompt adjustments and repairs, which means a minimum loss of time of the services of the truck In many instances the serv- ice policies provide the use of truck or unit while the damaged vehicle is being repaired.
 SERVICE CHIEF TOPIC
 Truck manufacturers. realizing the value of service to the truck user. are planning a campaign for developing to a much higher degree all factors enter ing into service. The opening gun of this campaign was sounded at Detroit recent ly when the National Automobile Cham Der of Commerce called a meeting of the factory service managers. At this con- vention. which is to be an annual event, the factory service experts discussed plans for giving the user of a truck in a small town equally as good service as the owner in the large city where mann moth service stations exist.
 CAMPAIGN SUGGESTED
 An educational campaign among truck users has been suggested which it is believed will result in greatly decreased costs of operation and larger profits on his investment for the truck owner Eff forts will be directed to standardze the operations of repairing and to develop a high grade of mechanics who will have the benefit of factory methods, special time and labor saving tools and such fac- tory data as spells minimum repair and bills to the truck user.

Youthful Thieves Caught.

At the instance of the Noting
ham Detective Association, warrants
were issued for the arrest of Clar-
ence Hayes, Robert Webster, and
Ralph Jones upon the charge OF
stealing a lot of knives and hard
ware from Kirk and Fredd on South
Third street, Oxford. The theft is
supposed to have taken place Sun
day week, the proprietors finding
the back door of their place tied
with a string on the outside In
vestigation revealed the fact that a
number of valuable knives were
missing. Some time later in the
week, one of the boys was caught
red-handed, trying to take several
articles from behind the counter in
the store Of Miss Carrie johnson.
He was given severe cross exaIni-
nation and is reported to have con-
fessed to the previous theft and t.,
have implicated the other boys.
The arrest of the boys is said also
to lead to the big Sunday crap
games, which are regularly held. II
is claimed that the small boys shot
in game not far from the high
class outfit and when one Of them
went broke he would raise a new
stake by selling dollar knife for
twenty-five cents to one of the Older
boys.-Oxford News.
