THE USEFUL "KNOCKER."

The leaders of all times and of all
nations have been men who tore
down. 'Tis those who came after
them who built up. The pioneer
merely blazes the trail; the settlers
who follow build roads. The pioneer
tears down and clears away the
mighty forests; later come those who
build cities upon the spaces from
which the first comers had torn away
the primeval trees and shrubbery.
And just so it is with all advances
of thought-with all reforms Of re-
ligion and government. The leaders
in thought just as necessarily tear
down and clear away-demolish and
put aside the rubbish Of the present
that the generations >of the future
may find unhampered space on which
to build. There is no disgrace, then,
in being known as one who tears
down.

MR.. HIP, FORD SUCCEEDS MIR. A.
Y. WILLARD AS ENGINEER ON
CITY STREET PAVING.
Mr.. Willard Will Remain Here on
Road Contract Work.

Mr.. A. Y. Willard, Engineer in
charge of the supervising work on
our various street paving contracts,
has presented his resignation to the
J. B. McCrary Company, who are the
official engineers for this city.
Mr.. Willard has been in New 1be-
ria for several months, and has gain
ed reputation for special ability in
this line of contract supervising. He
will be associated with Mayor H. S.
Sealy in the contract recently award
ed to him for building five and one
half miles of gravel road in ST. Mar
tin Parish. AS this road work will
require probably six months time for
completion. Mr.. Willard's many
friends here will be glad that his
resignation from the city work will
not carry him away from New Ibe-
ria, but that he will be one of us for
at least that much longer.
Mr.. H. P. Ford, who has succeeded
Mr.. Willard on the street paving
job, came in Monday from Atlanta,
Georgia. Mr.. Ford bears very fiat
tering credentials as an engineer of
ability, and will no doubt make good
with the local citizens. He will be
here at least until the present street
paving projects are all completed.

OVER TWO HUNDRED LADIES
VOTED IN IBERIA,

Congratulations to our new lady
voters.
The election commissioners all over
the United States report a heavy
vote among the new voters in Tues
days election.
Locally we have unofficial figures
Of over two hundred suffragists re-
gistering their choice in iberia Par
ish.
OF the total about one hundred and
twenty five were from the corporation
of New Iberia, and seventy eight in
our sister town of Jeanerette.
There is a total of three hundred
and forty one women registered in
IBERIA Parish, and a vote of two
hundred is considered an excellent
showing for their first appearance at
the polls.
The Commissioners of election
generally report that less trouble was
experienced in instructing the newly
enfranchised sex than had been anti
cipated, and from our own observa-
tion the ladies required less average
time than the men in making their
ballots.
In Jeanerette, according to Clerk of
Court Gonsoulin, there are eighty two
women registered, and out Of this
number seventy eight voted Tuesday,
the other four of the registered total
being out of town, leaving "a one
hundred percent record Of the possi-
BILE women voters.
At the Court House precinct in
New iberia Mrs. C. w. Cultivate,
who was the first lady to register in
iberia Parish, kept her record perfect
by being also the first woman to cast
vote in the parish registering her
choice promptly upon the opening of
the polls Tuesday morning.

Hot Lunches For Pupils at Nom

The pupils of the Madison Street
School, directed by Miss Lily Mel
anson and Miss Pearl Simon, gave an
entertainment and lawn party last
Friday afternoon on the school
grounds.
Refreshments furnished by the
parents were sold and games provid-
ed for the amusement Of those pres

pupils from the large Julia Street
School. A nice little sum of about
thirty dollars was realized, which
will be used to start a Hot Lunch
Fund at that school.
Every noon during the present
term hot lunch consisting of soup,
gumbo, rice, sandwiches, ETC., will be
served for the small sum Of five
cents to the pupils.
Donations of rice, potatoes or
other articles of like nature will be
gladly received by the teachers to
help in this splendid work which is
a part of the Junior Red Cross pro-
gram inaugurated for New Iberia.

Louisiana people may well feel proud
of the sane, sensible way in which
the producers of two of her great
staples, cotton and rice, have met the
inevitable season of price decline.
Neither Of them have wasted much
time in denouncing the government
or asking the Federal banks for spe-
cial concessions. Having found out
early, that no favors would be grant
ed, they promptly set to work to
meet the emergency with their own
resources.
The rice interests activities have

producers and the banking interests,

the assistance of the banks will ad

who will wait for the balance until
his rice is finally sold, which will
yield not less than $5 per sack to the
producer.
Five dollars a sack will not meet
the cost of producing this years
crop, but it will insure a price to the
consumer which will restore old-time
consumption of the cereal and proba-
bly, increase it. By accepting a loss
now, the rice growers will secure a
stable market in the future. 1t goes
without saying that the era Of high
priced labor in the rice fields and
other costs above normal must also
come to an end.

BRASS 7ACKS
BY . Small Town Philosopher.

But, is man necessarily an ass
because he kicks?
Some peoples bibles are used only
to being used too little.
Some people put off calling a ply
sician so long that 1t would be cheap
er to call the undertaken.
The only reason why newspaper
isn't necessity is because one can
always read his neighbor's paper.
A man has little difficulty in loving
his neighbor as himself, if the neigh
Dor happens to be lovable female.
When a great many people begin to
criticise you, rejoice; for that is evil
dence that you're getting out of the
rut.
To even things up, God has made
most of his towards big and most of
his brave men little.
It's all right to be a prize fighter,
if the prize is woman.
II you want to lose a friend, go
into partnership with him.
Lots of men are poor because they
pay their bills.
Friendship is mask behind which
an enemy often turks.
The very fact that suit of clothes
is new, too often means that the
pockets are empty.

Why some folks always get sick
when they go a-visting is because
they amt used to SO many good
things to eat.
Work is an ugly damsel with whom
few men would fall in love, if it
wasn't for the good money she pro-
misses US.
Science has had no end Of trouble
trying to determine whether it is
worry or work that kills, because the
man who never worries, never works,
either.
The next time you hear that some
one has said something mean about
you, don't get mad, but simply con-
sole yourself by recalling the mean
things you have said about him.

Little red school houses and colleges
are built for the great mass of this
earth's inhabitants; those who were
fortunate enough to be born with
brains can get along without educa-
tion.
There's this difference: A practi-
cal man is delighted at finding sill
yer coin in the high road, whereas al
superstitious man gets the same de-
gree of pleasure out of the discovery
OF four-leaf clover or an old rusty
horseshoe.

loss.
The worst knock man gets is that

WILSON TO LET HARDING TAG.
KLE LEAGUE PROBLEM.
Making Peace With Germany Also
One of New President Tasks.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 4-President
Wilson will leave to his Republican
successor, Senator Warren G. Hard
ing, and the new senate the task of
determining whether or not America
will enter the League Of Nations, or
any association of nations, it was
believed in Democratic circles here.
The Senate, which convenes in De-
cember, will of course be the same as
the one which rejected the league of
nations before, because new members
do not take their seats until March
A. With the same majority oppos-
ing him as before and the vote of the
nation against the sort of a league he
proposed belief was general that the
president will not return the treaty
to the senate.
To the new senate also, if this
course were followed, would fall the
duty of determining how America
may arrive at a state of peace with
Germany, and recall it's army on the
Rhine, which is occupying German
territory under the provisions of the
armistice. One method would be rat
i6cation of the treaty of Versailles,
of which the league covenant is a
part, but senators have objected to
this without alterations.
'IrrecOncilables" Lose Power
1t was recalled by observers here
that the senate as now constituted on
several occasions has shown itself in
favor of entering the league of ma
tions with reservations. which leaders
considered necessary to safeguard-the
sovereignty of America. 1t was ex-
pected the same sentiment would
govern the new senate.
Furthermore, the elections Tuesday
indicated the ''irreconcilables" group,
which under the leadership Of Sena-
tors Borah and Johnson so effectu-
ally blocked action of any sort on
the treaty, may lose much Of its pow
er through the Republican gains.
President Wilson has not indicated
what he will do with the treaty.
But his friends are confident that he
will not be a party to the conclusion
of any sort of a settlement which
would require reopening of negotia-
tions with the European powers, par
ticularly Germany. They feel certain
also that he will make no further at
tempts to conclude peace and bring
America into the league along lines
he urged before, since the senate and
now the people set themselves against
it, Haste is no longer an element
and since he could not reach accord
with the senate without sacrificing
his personal views it is expected the
president will do nothing.
Harding has not indicated the man.
ner in which he will proceed to bring
America into the sort Of league he |
has favored, and Democrats are await
ing his movements with interest.
They do not believe a new league is |
practicable or possible, or that a
peace with Germany separate and
distinct from that provided in the
Versailles pact can be arranged. |
They predict that America will enter
the present league--with reservations,
soon after the Republicans assume
control.

Women would become less con
spicuous and more impressive by
wearing standard dress, she de-
clared, for "the active, healthy worn-
an creates a spiritual impression by
simplifying her dress, and thus en-
hances her facial beauty, while her
less advanced sister clings to the
