Road Taxes Carry in First,
Sixth and Eighth Wards

The special road tax election
held in five Of the Wards of the
Parish last Tuesday resulted
about as was expected by those in
terested. In the First Ward,
which embraces Patoutville, there
were twelve votes cast III favor,
amounting in property valuation
to 100000, and one lone vote
recorded the other way, voting a
valuation of $4,000. The Sec
ond and Third Ward taxes were
overwhelmingly defeated. In the
Sixth Ward, which embraces all
Of the outlying territory sur
rounding New iberia there were
twenty-five votes deposited i'll the
box favoring the bond issue,
while seven Of the voters stood
out opposed to the tax. The
amount recorded in favor of the
improvement in valuation amOun-
ted to $11S,604.00, while property
valued at $31, ,620 was recorded
in opposition.
This means that the Sixth,
First and Eighth will be assured
such highways that will be Of
value to the property owners and
they are to be commended for
their enterprise and foresighted
ness in the matter.

Thinking is a wise and safe

A wise man never boast of the

And still, Professor Taft and
Professor Wilson will not be en-

you will double them-and then

No. we haven It an unkind word

They certainly are past masters

Some weeks ago in this Ward,
there was some very strong OPP
position to the tax. and for
awhile it looked as though the
tax would be overwhelmingly de-
feated. Due to the activity of
the Chamber Of Commerce of
New iberia and the mceasing eff
forts of Mr.. James w. Wyche
who made a personal appeal to a
number of the property holders TO
stand for the Improvement they
changed their votes in the atfirma-
tive. The citizens of the Eighth
Ward stood unanimous for the
gravel highways and we believe
this is the first time in the history
of that Ward that not single
vote was recorded against
special tax. It is hoped now that
the Police Jury will soon be in
position to sell the bonds 50 that
all of the Wards who stood for
permanent highways will get the
use of them. From what we as
certain elections will again be
called in the Second and Third
Wards at an early date which
very probably will prove differ

NO REST-NO PEACE.

There's no peace and little rest
for the one who suffers from a bad
back, and distressing urinary dis
orders. New Iberia people rec
commended Doan's Kidney Pills.
Be guided by their experience.
F. O. Hebert, upholsterer, st.
Peter and Center Sts., New Ibe-
ria, says: CT strained my back
doing heavy lifting and when I
retired at night my hips and back
were so painful ] was unable to
rest. On getting up in the morn
ing / was lame in every part Of
my body. Ny kidneys acted too
frequently and caused me a great
deal Of worry. I felt depressed
and tired easily Every little
while I would forget about my
back being lame and when I
made a sudden turn, the pain
would be severe. | finally learned
Of Doan's Kidney Pills and they
brought me relief in a few days.
| took one box and was entirely
cured of the trouble. 1t is now
a year since I had this attack and
have enjoyed excellent health"

wider and more diversified field
of agricultural activity.
With our children back in the
class rooms again, it would be
well for US Of mature years to
enlarge our interest in their wei
fare.
We should extend to the teach
ers a full measure Of encourage
ment and support, and thereby
add to the zest Of their labors.
Our duty does not end with
starting the child to school in
the morning. That is only the
beginning.
All active and daily interest in
its progress will lend encourage
ment to its efforts and spur it on
to greater success.
Parental commendation is sweet
to every child.
Indifference is the father of
neglect.
Reference is often made to the
lack of production in this coun-
try.
The workman is generally CEN
sured because he insists upon high
wages and in too many cases
gives a poor days work in re-
turn. This condition appear to
be more or less universal through
out the country.
Various reasons have been ad-
vanced for this attitude on the
part of the artisan and the lab
orer, but there is one which we
have never seen in print.
Since the beginning of the war
large employers of labor have
been coming money through the
sweat Of other peoples brows.
Many of them have profteered
to an appalling extent and. have
faunted their wealth in the faces
of those who live by the toll of
their hands.
1t is not strangetlhat the lab
orer should feel that it is mainly
through his efforts as a producer
that his employer is rolling in
wealth..
Neither is it strange that he
should feel that the profits from
his productiveness are not equit-
ably distributed.
We can not defend the present
attitude of Indifference that pre-

walls in the field of production,
for it is slowly strangIing the in
dustriaI welfare Of the country.
Yet we fear that much provoca-
ton exists.
If it is true that Everybody s
business is nobody's business. -
then the reverse should be equally
true-that nobody'S business is
everybOdys business.
1t is hardly to be expected that
any one official can see and take
note Of every little condition that
needs correction in this com
munity. That would be asking
too much of men who are not paid
to give their whole time to such
work.
But if John Smith noted a de
feet and made a noise to the prop
er official, and Bob Jones noted
the same thing and made another
noise, and other people kept on
noting and noising, it would not
be long until there would be little
left to make a noise about.
Little noises coming from many
sources are equal to a big roar,
and big roars generally produce
prompt results.
A little noting and noising
hereabOuts would do no harm. It
might do much good.
Try it.

spent by every one on account of the
beautiful weather. The beautiful flow
ers and especially the wild flowers,
which at this time of the year T IN
full bloom and delight the eyes Of
Fasteners. This section probably
surpasses any part Of the State IN the
production of flowers.
All the guests spent a wonderful
day and were loud in their praises of
California and her beauties and the
perfect day. The visitors were Mrs
/ VIM. F. Walker and Mrs. Lena Barn

THE BANKS AND A LOWERING OF PRICES

How widely and, too what extent the lowering of prices repore in Associated Press dispatch yesterday will go, will have to wait to The principal cause assigned for the cutting down of prices i'll broad ton of the country is the tightening of money, ment which is further umned by another dispatch des crptive of conference of bankers at Washington OnI Tuesday ill which deflatOn advocated The inevi- table effect of such by the banks will be the forced lowering of prices It will act upon prices in two ways It will only increase the value the purchasing power of the dollar but 1t will also make harder to and thus will put curb on popular eXtrava- gance Thus stroke will hit the chief of high prices. Either of them has been potent cause than all others combined. We should explain, though, that in many cases notably in the of gar and certain other commodities the replacement men have raised prices outrageously but it popular travagance and imitation that gave the opportunity to do

Nobody has yet devised way of living long wind nothing.
