community. At the close Of hs
talk, he then introduced Mr.. Her
bert McDOugal, general manager
Of the PerShing Way Mr.. Nc
Dougal came here from Winnepeg,
Canada. in behalf Of that highway
association and asked that New
iberia do like Lafayette and other
cities, give encouragement to get
! the tide of the tourists to come to
New iberia. He showed the great
advantages to be derived by hav-
ing the highway from New Or
leans marked the Pershing Way.
The matter Of securing member
ship was teft in the hands of Mr..
John r. Taylor, chairman Of the
good roads committee Of the
Chamber of Commerce and Mr..
McDougal was assured of our
support.
The next question to come up
before the Chamber was that of
High School site. Mr.. Harry
Hall and ,Supt. Tilly spoke Of ,he
number of sites offered for the
erection of the school and laid
stress on the necessity of secur-
ing a site that would be amply
large TO give the school children
play grounds, stating that the
site on Center Street between
, Washington Avenue and P'ershing
Street they considered the best
suited, but that they preferred an
expression from the members of
Ehe Chamber of Commerce before
taking final action. The question
Of site was them discussed bv
members in the audience and
there seemed to be such diversity
Of opinion and the arguments III
favor of first one site then another
was so at variance that Mr.. Noel
aroseand urged that the Chamber
of Commerce have nothing to
do with it. He said that matters
Of this kind, which was calculated
to arouse ill-feeling among the
members of the Association had
better be left to some other bodies,
and that he feared the Chamber
would he charged with making
politics. 1t did not take many
minutes before a motion was car
ried to the effect that the Cham
Der have nothing more to do with
selecting a location.
The meeting as a whole was one
which is calculated to push New
Iberia to the front, and we feel
confident now that the influence
of the Chamber of Commerce will
be felt. We noticed in the audi
ence the following gentlemen !:
Messrs. Leon Dreyfus, G. W. Outh-
waite, Albert Estorge. Chas. l..

LIBERTY BONDS

the exceptions to the reactionary trend.
They both advanced.

features were traction issues. Brooklyn

Says Demand
for Rails Shows
Large Increase

In its weekly review of the iron and steel
industry the Iron Age will say today
That the railroads are in urgent need
of rails appears from the definite closing
OF about 250,OoO tons in the Chicago district
on which rolling will begin at once. These
sales were made possible by verbal agree
ments of the Railroad Administration 70
honor railroad corporation purchases in
these closing weeks Of government con-
troll.
I'm addition to the rails closed, orders
for between 100000 and 10000 tons have
been tentatively placed at Chicago. In
cars and locomotives there has been no
such activity as in rails. While advance
estimates Of locomotive requirements are
around 1000. as vet only two or three roads
have put out definite inquiries. The Union
Pacific's inquiry for 1900 refrigerator cars
stands almost alone. These will require
q 200 tons of plates, shapes and bars and
1900 tons of axles. The New York Cen
trail is asking for 15.ooo tons of steel for
rebuilding 5000 freight cars.

CALL MONEY CONTINUES EASY.

The tone of the call money market yes
terday was much easier. Renewals for
both choice mixed collateral and all in
dustrial securities were made at z per
cent That is the chearest rate for nearly
three weeks.
After renewals had been made there was
a decided lull in the market. AS result
at one o'clock the rate was cut to per
cent. Final transactions were made at
that figure.
The decline in the call money rate was
largely attributed to the influx OF money
from out Of town banks The amount OF
out of town money sent In for loaning at
call rates in the last week has been more
than double that Of any previous week
in the last three months.
Time money again vas in demand, with
bids made at : aad St4 per cent for periods
Of from thirty days to ninety days. The
demand was far In excess OF the supply.

ORDER ROUTING
 MAIL BY WAY BROAD PASS
(From Fairbanks News Miner)


 An order has been issued by the postoffice department discontinuing the service contracted for by the Brewer stage line, on May 31 of this year, and from October 31, the date when the Gibson summer contract ends, mail for Fairbanks and Interior Alaska will be routed via Broad pass over the Alaska railroad and will be transported by private carriers be- tween the ends of the steel. Brewer is given an allowance of one months extra pay in return for the discontinu- ance of his contract There has been agitation for nearly two years by the people of Nenana to try and have mails for the Interior routed by the government railroad but the depart ment has continued to favor the Rich ardson highway route until now. This spring, when it was rumored that such a change was to be made, the local commercial club wired the postoffce department protesting against any change in the routing, and in return received a wire stating that no change was contemplated at present. In the last mail, however, Postmaster Deal received an order discontinuing the Brewer contract, and two orders, is- sued May 13, to the effect that the mail will go via the Broad pass after October 31 next.
 The letter authorizing the carrying of mail by the railroad is as follows:
 Washington, D. C., May 13. Postmaster, Fairbanks:
 You are informed that an order has been issued this day, of which the fol- lowing is a copy:
 Transportation of mails by the Alaskan engineering commission, de- part of the interior, Washington, D. G., is authorized from Seward to Moose Pass, Rainbow, Anchorage, Matanuska, Wasilla and Talkeetna, to end of north bound train run, Alaska and back; from Fairbanks by Nenana to end of southbound train run, Alaska, and back, twice a week, and as much Oftener as trains may run on each part of the line, the contractor to carry the mails to and from the ter minal offices and to and from each Intermediate office located not more than 80 rods from the railroad station, from October 1, 1920, to May 31, 1921, in accordance with the provisions of the act of July 26, 1916, relative to special contracts, at the rate of $42.75 for the length of the route for said period (the mileage and amount of pay to be stated in future order) deduc- tions to be made for services not per formed. (Signed) E. R. WHITE,
 Acting Asst P. M. G.
 The order for carrying the mails be- tween ends of steel is as follows:

Josephus Daniels is somewhat per
turbed because Admiral Sims made
public the orders he received when he
departed for Europe as commander of
the American fleet. These orders in
cluded the following: "Do not let the
British pull the wool over your eyes;
we would as soon fight the British as
the Germans" Although there is no
doubt as to the source from which
these instructions came, Admiral Sims
has not yet disclosed the name of the
officer from whom he received them
but he will. It has come to a pretty
pass when the navy department tells
its admiral that it would as soon fight
one Of its allies as the country upon
which the United States had. declared
war, and Admiral Sims is deserving
Of credit for making public this under
handed proceeding. But who do you
suppose issued those instructions-Jo.
Daniels or Professor Wilson? We are
inclined to the opinion that 10. is the
person responsible. Whoever is the
culprit, he should be. kicked out Of of
flee andya brickbat hurled at his head
as he departs.

There seems to be something in the
air which makes it necessary for the
once peerless J. leader and the "man
whom he twice made president to pro-
test their regard for each other, and
keep on protesting One reason for
this feeling, undoubtedly, is this same
twice made president" claim, contin-
ually put forward by Mr.. Bryan's
friends and a constant source of irrita-
ton to the president, as we'll as to
one Champ Clark. At any rate, in
spite of all camoufage, the strained
relations between Bryan and Wilson
have been apparent ever since the
Bryan resignation from the cabinet,
and even before that time.-Chas. B.
Cheney in Minneapolis Journal.
Mr.. Bryan's friends should be more
reserved in their contentious. It was,
according to the best authorities, Col
onel Harvey who discovered Professor
Wilson and landed him for his first
term in the white house, but we scarce
ly think the colonel would at this time
admit it.

Formidable opposition has developed
in congress to the bill authorizing
credits totaling $150,OOO,000 from
funds Of the grain corporation for the
purchase Of food for the people Of cen
trail Europe. In opposing the measure
Representative Fess said: 81 Believe
the solution of this whole situation is
that Europe must go to work" That's
it exactly. The people of central Eu-
rope are putting forth practically no
effort to cultivate the soil or produce
anything, and so long as we furnish
them money to purchase food they will
continue to live in idleness. To COM
pei them to produce in order to live
by refusing to further feed them would
solve the problem.
