In giving out the Parish budget
funds or rather the amount OF
money to be subscribed by the
various parishes to carry out this
work in the cause Of common hui
manity, regardless of religious
inclinations, iberia Parish was as
sessed the sum Of $4,000, where
upon DIR. Gosling and Mr.. Noel re
uuested the chairman to state why
iberia Parish was assessed such an
amount on The basis of the 1879
census. when the 1920 census
shows that New Iberia has lost IN
population. instead of increasing.
In fact prevailing opinion is to
the effect that iberia Parish. as a
whole, has not increased in pop
ulation in the past ten years,
whereas other parishes, with
virtually the same population IN
1910, have increased in the past
ten years. The local committee
announced at the convention that
they would report to the advisory
board at the next meeting OF that
body and hoped that Iberia Parish
would go over the top. Specific
eases of assistance rendered home
less. deserted children and wives,
etc. by the Salvation Army IN
Louisiana within the past seven
months reached tremendous flg-
ures. Appended are a few of the

Salvation Army to Broaden its Scope
and Benefits to Humanity.
Recent Convention in Shreveport proves rev.
elation to delegates Iberia Parish asses
sed $4,000 towards upkeep-Desire to
build Maternity Home in Louisiana.

The Salvation Army convention
held in Shreveport last week was
undoubtedly one Of the most in
teresting sessions held in the in.
terest Of common humanity ever
staged in the State Of Louisiana,
according to the report from the
local committee of the Iberia Par.
ish Advisory Board of which DR..
w. G. Gosling, /. A. Martin and
Frank Noel were the Iberia rep
resentatives.
Mrs. Bennett Of Dallas, Texas,
made the feature address of the
convention, telling of the work
being done by the Salvation Army
in its rescue homes, maternity
homes. and homes for old people.
Mrs. Benefits personality was
most pleasing and the manner in
which she dramatically told of
many eases which came under her
observation fairly astounded her
auditors.
The convention was held in the
interest of the Salvation Army
Home Service program and its
purpose is to extend the facilities
of the Army and to broaden its
scope of social service, so that
event the most remote sections of
Louisiana might be assisted in the
solution Of social and moral diff
culties.
1t is purposed that homes, sim
liar to those now in operation at
FL Paso, Texas, and Dallas, Texas,
be erected in Louisiana, so that
the benefits derived by Louisiana
be paid for by their own people,
instead Of being passed over to
the State of Texas for service and
support.

ansson, the Arctic explorer, who went
abroad two months ago with de Grand
court on a business trip.
He said lc had heard of the wire
less. reports from Captain Roald
Amundsen and they indicated to him
that Amundsen had merely changed
his plans and had not given up his
attempt to reach the North Pole. "The
wireless news" said Stefansson. "in-

to drift with the ice as he had in

Genstein and her three daughters =
Sherva, twelve; Nina, fifteen, and Ere
ma, sixteen. The youngest child had
patch of white hair Just above the
forehead. surrounded by shock of
black locks.
She said that last summer band
of Bolsheviki entered her house when
she was the only one at home and one
OF the plunderers put pistol to her
head threatening to kill her unless she
told where the fathers money had been
concealed.
