Jury expended solely in adver-
tising the natural resources Of the
Parish would be one Of the best
investments that could be made.
This is what has made California
and numerous other States that is
not near so inviting as the Teche
section of Louisiana. Florida
is another State where the citi-
zens appreciate the Importance Of
keeping their communities before
the outside world. Thousands
and thousands of dollars is spent
in printers S ink and the results are
almost unbelievable. New Iberia,
when properly paved and gray
eled will be as attractive as any
city in the South and with all
pulling together for a greater and
more prosperous town we could
soon have our dreams realized.
Organization and cooperation is
the needful thing just now and it
is high time to throw off that feel
ing Of pessimism so predominant
among many of our natives for
that Of optimism, and a decided
change will soon 'be noticeable.
Let every article manufactured i'll
New Iberia be given the first pref
erence when making your pur-
chases. We have numerous indus
tries here worthy of the patronage
of every one. and a serious
trade at home' campaign would
be another good propaganda to
put under headway with the fornl-
alton of a strong business
organization. Let all be boosters
for iberia Parish and New iberia
and it will not take many years
before our little City will again
be heading for its, place as the
third city Of the State. It only
requires a determination on the
part of the people to "pull" for
everything that will rebound to
the good of the community. We
have always noticed. despite the
statements of fourishing times in
other towns that with but few
exception all Of the wanderers
come back to their beloved home
whenever they find an opportun-
|ity. So after all, while probably
there is not the same degree Of
prosperity prevalent here as in
some Of the other cities Of the
State. still New liberia has many
advantages as q desirable place to
live in that you cannot find else
where. Our people are Of the
hospitable nature, kind and char
liable almost to a fault and for
that reason alone those who have
left us always will have that in
clination to return "home."
There is only one thing lacking
and that is cooperation and an
awakening to our own opportun-
tiles. Organization with every
man, woman and child pulling"
for a greater and more prosperous
community is bound to be fruit
full. If we would only get to-
gsther and make a little more
sacrifices Of our time for the gen.
eral good Of the City. Every cit
izen in New Iberia owes his COM
munity some part Of his time for
public work and while we do not
wish to charge any one with sell
fishness, because we would be do
ing them an injustice. on the other

The Peace Conference is consider

and that in both Congress and
throughout the country sentiment is

WASHINGTON, March 27. - The
Department of Commerce has an
nounced that the report of American

Urges Value Of Beechnut

A writer in the Chicago Daily News
makes a plea for the beechnut. A
high-grade quality of this nut might
easily be made a delicious article of
food. The beech tree, well grown, is
an object of great beauty. In Europe
extensive avenues of them are found,
and the fruit carefully conserved.
Many a township could easily handle
along its ,roadsides 10000 noble
beeches and as many ~hickories, not to
speak of. a large sprinking of other
nut trees and shrubs. all of them large
ly taking a of themselves. Each
town or county could have its own
for fostering a high grade of
nut trees and shrubs.
