OIL INDICATIONS SPLENDID

Drilling has been going on in,
terruptedly for several weeks on
the oil well on the Patout lands
near this City under the direction
of Mr.. D. j. McPhee. Several
pockets of gas was struck on Sun
day evening and on Wednesday
night the gas explosion shook the
entire derrick. They have now
penetrated the earth about 1850
feet and from what we are told
the indications are excellent for
good well. The general pre-
vailing opinion among oil men are
that a successful well will be
brought in by Mr.. McPhee. While
there has not as yet been any un-
due excitement over the drilling
almost every day new oil scouts
representing large companies are
visiting New Iberia, studying the
situation. If well is brought in
whether it be Of one barrel. or
thousand others will Immediate
ly proceed to lay plans for more
wells. 1t would be big thing for
New iberia if oil is brought in at
that particular spot as it will

NOVEMBER 4th TO 10th TO BE
CLEAN UP DAYS.

The Women's Council and Red
Cross Society Of New Iberia have
now launched a concerted move,
ment to have the streets and
yards of New Iberia given a
general overhauling. Mayor Sealy
has also pledged himself to see
that the garbage wagons are kept
busy from November 4th to the
10th, so that Armistice Day, which
will be one of the biggest events
in the history Of New Iberia, will
find all Of the streets and premises
in spick and span shape. 1t
is planned to have all Of the num-
erous lodges and secret societies
and other. organizations decorate
cars to take part in the days fes-
tiyities. The American Legion
members, which includes about
seventy per cent Of the ex-soldiers
of the Parish will head the street
parade followed by decorated au-
tomobiles representing every or
ganization in New iberia. 1t is
planned to have some of the most
able orators in Louisiana to come
here and address the citizens. On
Friday, committee composed of
Mrs. Edwin L. Estorge, Miss Ethel
Carver and Miss Beulah Wood
Fife were busily engaged shaping
a program to have the City thor
oughly cleaned for the memorable
event.

vienna DEATH RATE
BECOMES APPALLING
Condition of Children Even More
Narrowing, Declares Authority
on City's Desperate Plight.

Five years of famine have resulted
IN greatly increased mortality and
morbidity In Vienna which before the
war was counted as one Of the health
lest cities in Europe. Figures prepared,
by DR.. Gustave Bohn, head Of the.
Vienna Health Department, show that
In 1918 the death rate was 1873 per
thousand. In 1918 the rate was 22.6
per thousand, an increase Of more than
Il per cent.
Professor Hans Spell Of the UNI
versity Of Vienna, says that seven
more terrible than the mortality sta
tistics are those referring to the con-
dition Of children and their mothers.
Owing to under-nourishment few moth
ers can nurse their babies, and the milk
shortage affects not only infants, but
all children in spite Of al: that has
been done to help. At Professor
Clemens Pirquet's clinic in the uni
versity some $3.50 children were ex-
amined in 1o18.- Only 4,637 Of these:
or about one-thirteenth were passed az
skin good, fat good; 2S,6O0 were pale
and thin, or very pale and very thin.
'"The health of these children shows
most disauieting features. Skin disease,
Fachitis and Barlow's disease are rife.
1.-THE chief medical ehicer Of Vienna
asks, What 10 going to happen to these
under-fed children, in whose bodies the
germ Of tuberculosis is latent, when
they reach the twsnties, at which time
It becomes activOP"
To combat these conditions the Amer
lean Relief Administration Of which
Herbert Hoover IL chairman fed last
winter In the city Of Vienna seine
00o, 700 Of the destitute and under
nourished children, supplying them
with q substantial meal Of American
feed, served In a number Of large
kitchens opened fer that purpose.
The conditions In Vienna are more.
or less typical Of those in Poland ana
other countries Of Central and Eastern.
Europe. Last year the Relief Admin
istration was able to reach some $780,
600 under-nourighed children and this
winter the program calls fer the feed
ing Of a like number, but eight Of the
great charitable organizations Of
America have united under the name
Of the European Relief Council, Of
which Mr.. Hoover is the chairman.
The child feeding task will be carried:
on not emily by the American Relief Ad-
ministration but by the American Red
Cross, the American Friends Service
Committee (Quakers), the Jewish Joint:
Distribution Committse, the Federal
Council Of the Churches Of Christ in
America, the Knights Of Columbus, the

Below the Blue Earth a few inches

Of the food that does the damage that

Blue Earth, the Rapidan reservoir
should be available for flood protection

There is yet much to, learn about
drainage and flood control and with the
united effort and influence of the twenty
nine counties in one organization these
problems can and will be solved.
It is safe to say land or property not
benefited cannot be assessed. and
therefore there can be no harm done
any one by including territory that will
not be benefited in order to take in the
watershed and streams that must be
regulated and controlled, because, if
any damage is done it must be paid for
by the benefited property.
Selfish interests ought not be per-
mitted to stand in the way of public
improvements and the common good
It has been demonstrated that fisheries
pay under proper management an aver
age of over SO an acre. This makes
the construction of reservoirs possible
most anywhere.
The organization of the district is
merely a preliminary step. 1t is mere

step, and no improvements or costs can
be incurred without application to the
