DISTRIBUTED.
Proofs of Progressiveness and Home
Town Push"

The membership signs ordered some
time ago by the Chamber of Com
merce have arrived, and most of them
were distributed on Thursday and
Friday OF this week Any member
who has not received his sign should
phone the Office OF The organization
and one will be sent at once.
The signs are of two classes. one for
individual or active members, and one
for firms or sustaining members.
The purpose of the signs is two fold.
They are of great value in letting Wis
itors, travellers. and prospective citi-
zens know that New Iberia has such
an organization working for its up
building, and that this is a live town.
And they also let our local residents
know what business houses are mem
bers of the Chaml er of Commerce,
and are contributing time and money
to promoting the welfare of our home. :.
1t is scarcely necessary to mention
that the buying public will have "A
tendency to patroniZi those concerns
that they see are trying to make this
bigger, better and more prosperous
place in which to live.

Mr.. Richie. the contractor stated
today that he has now on the wav
eleven car loads of brick, and enough
sand, cement and gravel 10 complete
the contract.
ABOUT twenty cars OF brIck viii be
required to flush Main Street, and
not over five cars for Bridge Street
and he expects to receive them in
time to. keep his forces busy. With
four weeks of continued fair weather
Mr.. Richie says he can wind up the
entire job. This will give New Iberia
something to be thankful for on
Thanksgiving Day.
The Southern Road Company who
have the contract for paving iberia
Street and Duperier Avenue have al
so received material recently and are
presently engaged in building cross
ings and cutters on iberia, after a
shut down Of several weeks.
A little patience, a reasonable
amount of good weather and plenty
of material, and we may yet live toI
see all of our extensive improve
ments completed.

the rice marketing difficulty was ar
rived at
All selling will be done by a Selling
Committee representing the growers
The mills will not be expected to buy
or sell. This selling committee will
have power to fix the price, and can
therefore guarantee jobbers against a
falling market.
This provision it is hoped will put
confidence in the trade and cause a
normal movement of the crop. 1t will
doubtless also result In an average
price of dollar or more per bag than
the grower would receive otherwise.
The deal was finally consummated
late Wednesday, when practically
every mill in the rice producing
states signed the agreement which,
i'll effect, practically turns over their
mills to a committee to be named by
the rice growers.
Under this agreement the millers
will mill all the rice which the asso-
citation sends at 81 a barrel. This
81 is to cover all charges of milling,
sacking, insurance, storage, commits
each barrel cleaned to the fund for
advertising rice and popularizing it.

In order to help in the sale Of this
rice after it is cleaned, the mills al
so agree to lend to the association
their selling forces, and to cooperate
in every way, this to the extent Of
circularizing the trade, sending out
samples and all other methods en-
ployed by them when disposing Of
rice when owned by them.
z. A. Eignus, secretary of the
Southern Rice Growers Association,
who negotiated the deal for the
growers, says 80 percent of the mills
in the rice belt have already signed
the agreement, and that he has, been
assured that the remaining two will
sign.
Enough have already signed to
make it success, he declares, and
the movement of rice to the mills
will begin during the day. By sNon-

to have everything working smooth

TELEPHONE RATE INCREASE
BEING PROBED BY LOCAL
BODY.

At meeting of the New Iberia
Chamber of Commerce held Tuesday
evening A communication from the
State Railroad Commission was read
which informed that body that the
Gum berland Telephone Company has
asked permission to advance its serv'
ice charges by twenty percent.
The Commission notified the Cham
ber Of Commerce that the hearing on
this increase will not come up for
some time yet, and they invited the
local organization to tile petition
against the increase if it SO desires.
As the Association of Commerce In
New Orleans has Investigated this
matter very closely, it was decided
that a letter be addressed to them
asking for facts by which the New
Iberia Chamber can be guided.
If the increase is a fair request nc
body would want 10 oppose 1t, but If
as sc ems to be the opinion of most oi
the Board of Directors-the increase
is undeserved. the New iberia Cham.
ber of Commerce will petition the
Commission to refuse to grant the pro.
posed increase.
