SALVATION ARMY LASS EATS
EXPENSIVE MEAL

Atlanta, Ga, June 26-Captain
Rheba Crawford, Salvation army
lassie. ate the prize meal here. 1t
cost five thousand plunks, cold cash.
On the face of that statement, it
would appear that Miss Crawford
must have consumed about fifty
planked steaks garnished with hum
ming bird wings, and swallowed "a
shocking thing for salvation army
lassie-the contents of 300 quarts
of Canadian Club at current case
prices.
Nothing, however, could be fur
ther from the truth What Miss
Crawford actually ate was one puny
doughnut with an unusually large
hole. What Miss Crawford actually
drank was one cup of coffee, luke
warm at that.
Yet the meal did cost 5000 bucks.
The American Legion paid for it in
five new and crisp $1,000 bills.
Mayor Key and Captain Bill Bailey
served 1t, courteously waving the
10 per cent tip of $500 due them.
The whole scene was staged on Il
truck at Five Points, in the presence
OF a crowd of several hundred. who
watched eagerly while Miss Craw-
ford made away with 5000 worth
of dough and java.
Every now and then n S25 crumb
drifted 10 the pavement. but on the
whole Miss Crawford was quite
composed over each 5000 bite.
Afterward she remarked that il was
pretty god chow. but she had tasted
better for two-bits at local cafe
terias.
The stunt was part of the pro-
gram of Legion Day" in .hc Sal.
walton army's $4,000 campaign.
The idea was that the Salvation
army doughnuts and coffee we're
worth more than millions to mcla-
bers Of the legion while they were
in France, and they would prove the
fact by buying the doughnut and
coffee from the army for 5000
now.
The price was raised in cash con-
tributions among the $500 members
of the legion in Atlanta, and was
paid promptly on the spot to the
army.

PREPARATIONS rOa SUMMER
VACATIONS

There are two primary important
points TO be decided when planning
for the summer vacation: What it
is for and how to make it accom-
plish this end.
AT first glance the average home
manager will say: "Why how fool
ish! Everybody knows what sum
mer vacation is for" But does ev-
eryone' Do we realize that sum
mer vacation is more than announc-
ing to our friends that we will be
absent from town our allotted few
weeks, packing our trunks and TAX
ing our departure?
Ii is recuperating time for the
body and mind; when every member
of the family should get IL com
.plete relaxation from. the wear and
tear of busy life, and il should
be planned and executed as such.
Summer vacation will be n recu-
pcrating time if the efficient home
manager makes systematic arrange
ments the week before vacation.
This will bring the desired freedom
which is so absolutely essential.
The Week Before Vacation
Take into consideration the fact
that the summer cottage is primi-
tive home, with few or no modern
convcniences. Map out detailed
plans for housekeeping during vaca-
tion-not mentally, but on paper
and live up to the plans, which
should embody the least possible
housewOrk and the minimum amount
of cooking. Do not depend upon the
food supply offered by the imme-
date neighborhood. hut rather take
with YOU .ready-to-serv foods to
meet the needs of every occasion.
Plan all meals in advance. Call the
family together. explaining to them
what YOU intend to do. and asking
their cooperation: for You cannot

Parker Meeting
Enthusiastic.
IBERIANs GIVE JOHN M PARKER HEARTY WELCOME
IN NEW IBERIA AT THE ELKs THEATRE

Of his audience. whose ears have
been hammered by the opposition
to Mr.. Parker that he had not
been a friend to the sugar people.
In plain words he related facts 10
show Mr.. Parker had been the
greatest friend the sugar men Of
Louisiana have had in recent
years.
Two wears ago when Congress
decided to paw the wheat men Il
big price for their crop an effort
was made in Washington to fix
the price Q8 sugar at 5 ID cents.
Mr.. Parker as food administrators
for Louisiana protested that
price Of 6 1-2 was necessary, but
Washington could not see it.
Then he went to Washington and
demanded to see M. Hoover and
reiterated this demand. Again
it was refused. Then Mr.. Parker
resigned as food administrator.
This brought results and the 6 IL
price was granted and Mr.. Parker
held as food administrator.
Again in 1918 he made the fight
which gave 8 l-2 for the crop.
When the question was up as
TO what price should be paid for
the 1919 crop and many members
Of the congressional committee
were inclined to hold Louisiana
planters down to a losing return,
Mr.. Parker sent the word to Wash
ington that in view of the so per
cent crop which had been pro-
Guced and the higher cost of pro
duction nothing less than double
the price received for last years
crop would be a fair return for
the Louisiana sugar planters.
Il tell you John NJ. Parker has
been one of the greatest friends
the cane growers of Louisiana
have ever had and / tell you the
men who are telling you he is not
are the menrwho always have
bean your enemies. F"

New Iberia enterprise and independent observer. (New Iberia, La.) 1902-1944, 1920-01-10

On Monday afternoon, January
9TH at one-thirty o o'clock, there
was held in this City one of the
most enthusiastic meetings ever
given a candidate, seeking the
high office of Governor. Despite
the fact that the hour was an i'll
opportune one, the Elks Theatre
was filled to overfOwing with real
voters from different portions Of
the Parish.
The meeting was called to
order by Hon. Edwin B. Brons-
sard, who after making very ef-
Ifective address, enlightening our
citizens as to the record Mr.. John
NJ. Parker made in behalf of the
sugar cane growers Of Louisiana,
called upon Hon. Walter J. Burke
to preside. Mr.. Burke also paid
Mr.. Parker many compliments
and urged the citizens of the Par
ish to devote one day in active
support Of a man who could be
trusted to carry out a platform
that would be to- the interest of
the people of Louisiana.
We reproduce from the Time
Picayune the subjoined account Of
the meeting:
John VI. Parkers saved the
Louisiana sugar planters from be-
ing forced to sell their crop at a
losing nrice bv forcing the federal
authorities to grant a fair return
when Hn offered them his resigna-
tion two wears ago as food admin
istrator. Edwin S. Broussard told
large and cheering audience Of
Parker men in New iberia early
Monday afternoon.
The fact that the Louisiana
cane growers are now receiving Il
fair price for their product also is
due to the fight which John NJ.
Parker put up before the con-
gressionaf -comnlittee several
months ago. demanding that IN
the face of so per cent crop a
price dauble that of last year was
essential to prevent them suffer-
ing a severe loss, was another as
sertion.
Mr.. Broussard's words were
surprising to the greater portion

Stubbs Has Good
Audience In City.
CANDIDATE FOR LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR TAKES ISSUE
WITH MIR. BROUssARD's DEFENSE OF PARKER ON THE
SUGAR QUESTION

On Tuesday night the support
ers Of Colonel Stubbs for Cover
nor responded to an invitation to
meet with him and other speakers
to hear the issues Of the campaign
discussed from their point of view.
There was a fairly good number
present when the meeting was
opened. In the audience there
were also many Parker supporters
who were attracted there to see
just what Col. Stubbs would say
in behalf Of his candidacy.
The meeting was called to
order by Hon. Albert Estorge and
Hon. Edward T. Weeks of this
City presided and urged the citi-
zens Of New Iberia to cast their
vote for Col. Stu'bbs.
We herewith report in full the
following account Of the meeting
as it was reported to the Times
Picayune
"Judge Philip Ell. Gilbert, can
didate for lieutenant governor,
and running mate of Colonel
P. Stubbs, attacked the statement
made here-at the Parker meeting
Monday by E. S. Broussard, that
John M. Parker in any way was
responsible for any increase in
the price of sugar. He said If
his statements regarding the sale
of the 1917, 1918 and 1919 sugar
crops were not corroborated by
the sugar planters Of the section
he would withdraw from the race
for lieutenant governor.
Judge Gilbert, Congressman
James O'Connor and Colonel
Stubbs spoke to an audience of
about 500 persons at the Elks
Theatre. Albert. Estorge called
the meeting to order. The speak
ers were introduced by E. T.
Weeks, a prominent local attor-

ney.
Colonel Stubbs told you at
Jeanerette early in the campaign"
said Mr.. Weeks, "that no matter
what would be the attitude Of the
state ring or the city organization
his name would be found on the
official ballot at the primary III
January. Colonel. Stubs came
out as Democrat should.
"The New Orleans organization
came to his support. The state
ripg put Mr.. Parker out. Cover
nor Pleasant is placing all his
power as governor, all Of the
power there is in the Dock Boards,
Levee Boards, Boards of Health
and Conservation Department to
make Mr.. Parker his successor. "
Judge Gilbert was the first of
the visitors to speak. Taking up
the statement Of Mr.. Broussard
about Mr.. Parker's part in fixing
sugar prices. Judge Gilbert said:
81 am going to tell you, not what
I heard, but what I know, per-
sonally, because / was interested
in the question and the conference
at New Orleans. / hope the state
ment Of Mr.. Broussard was made
in good faith, and not to deceive,
when he said that in 1917 Mr..
Parker had been instrumental in
saving sugar when 5 IL cents was
fixed at Washington, but later
there was an agreement to in
crease the price to 6 IL cents. "
'''This is not in keeping with
what had been done. Nothing
was done prior to October l, 1917.
The Food Administration an
nounced it would allow the sale
of sugar on the open market and
sold five cars at 8.35 cents per
pound. November 2 of that year

Chamber OF Commerce
Meeting q Big E0ent.
NEW MANAGER nMPREsSES CITIZENS OF THE IMPORT
ANCE OF LENDING ASSISTANCE.

The session of the New Iberia
Chamber of Commerce last We'd
nesday night was an event in our
City s history, which we believe
will be conducive to making the
populace from now on, one Of the
most alert in Louisiana. Aside
from the board Of directors there
were in the audience some fifty
Or more of our most influential
citizens, all eager to show their
interest in the work about to be
undertaken by that Association.
These citizens had been invited
there to make them acquainted
with Mr.. Frank Noel who has ac-
cepted the position as Manage
Secretary. The meeting was
called to order by Hon. Edward
L. Estorge in the absence Of
President Lewald. The acting
president announced that Mr. :.
A. Kennon, representing the Os-
car Dowling Food Products Co. Of
New Orleans wished to address
the members to secure the assist
ance of that body in interesting
our farmers in the culture Of cu-
cumbers and asked that an assur-
ance be given that 200 acres be
planted in this vicinity, which
would be purchased by his Com
pany. He also asked for a site
to erect a receiving station. After
general discussion among the
citizens present it was moved that
the matter be left in the hands Of
the Agricultural Committee with
the assurance that the acreage
would be planted and site CIV
Ell for the vats.
This over. Mr.. Noel was then
introduced to the audience and
he made a favorable impress
sion, we are sure, because Of tha
applause he received at the con
clusion of his talk. The new
manager emphasized his remarks
that results could only be Sc
cured by him having the full CO.
operation Of our citizens. Nothing
could be done in satisfactory
way without the concerted assist
ance of the people of New Iberia,
and his impressions of the country
were such that with the proper
advertising and good highways,
the future Of New Iberia was as
sured. Mr.. Noel is a great be-
lever in publicity and stated that
New iberia could never get too
much advertising, and it was his
intention to erect a large electric
sign on the Avenue leading from
the Southern Pacific Depot, so
that the travellers could easily
read it on passing trains, the
wording to- read such as this !:
New Iberia is the Place." or
"New Iberia the Place for
Homes. y He dwelt considerably
On the Importance of good roads,
and said since coming here only a
week ago. he had also studied the
advantages Of the proposed two
canals, and nothing better as an
investment could be made. That
all should become boosters, and
urged that the time to act was
".now" whenever questions af-
fecting New Iberia's interests
should come before the people
He meant to show results and
what was needed was money 70
effectively advertise New Iberia
and show the outside world our
great advantages. He spoke Of
California and its poor soil, as
compared to this country, and
went on to say that it was ex.
tensive advertising that made
California and nothing more.
When he concluded his remarks
he left just such an impression
behind. that we believe took deep
