DR.. Henry J. Dauterive ar
rived this. week from New Or
leans and opened temporary of
fees in the Estorge building to be-
Gin the practice of his profession.
He returned to New Iberia with
the intentions of opening well
equipped small sanitarium at
some near future time. DR.. Dau-
terive is one Of the sons of Iberia,
whom all of our citizens should
feel proud, coming back to his
native home after his discharge
from the Army in 1919 with the
rank of Major. He graduated at
Tulane University in 1910, and
practiced medicine for two>years
at Franklin. Later he went to
Chicago and by competitive ex-
animation entered Mercy Hospital
and remained on the staff for two
years, observing and assisting the
celebrated surgeon, DIR. J. B. Muir
ply, the inventor Of the Murphy
Button in Abdominal Surgery.
From there he then went to New
Orleans and during that period
was on the staff Of the Charity
Hospital, and also was with the
Loyola Post Graduate School of
Medicine as Orthopedic Instructor.
In july 1917 feeling it encumbent
upon him to give his services to
the Government, he enlisted as
first lieutenant in the Medical
Department of the American
Army for overseas service. He
first served with British General
Hospital in Oberdeen. Scotland,
where he remained for six months,
receiving training in the Carrcl-
Dakin treatment for wounds,
preparatory to his journey to
France. In that country he was
in charge of an Orthopedic service
at Savaney for eighteen months
when he was promoted to the
grade of a Captain. After his
discharge from the Army he de-
voted eight weeks of his time
visiting Chicago and Mayo Bros.
Hospitals. He then returned
South and is now located with his
own people in New Iberia.

On Wednesday night last, Mr.
G. A. Kennon. representing the
Oscar Bowling Food Products
Company, Inc. of New Orleans ap-
peared before the New Iberia
Chamber of Commerce, whose sup
port he was seeking to have ori1
farmers plant into cucumbers
about 200 acres Of land which he
assured his Company would pur.
chase, if the cucumbers would be
crown as directed by contract
He also asked that site be loaned
for the erection of a couple OF
an" 1ings where the cucumbers
viii be preserved and made ready
FIR shipment to a factory at New
Orleans. Mr.. Kennon explained
that two watts would be erected
for grade No. / and No. 2, for the
former, thew would pay ninety
cents for fifty pounds. The
smaller ones would be bought on
basis of thirty cents for each
fifty pounds. This will give our
email growers Of truck an oppor-
tunitv to realize handsome profits
on land in this vicinity and his
proposition met with such favor
that Mr.. Luke L. Bertrand the
chairman of the Agricultural Com
mittee of the Chamber of Com
merce was instructed to commun-
icate with our small farmers at
once so that they could arrange
for the next crop. Mr.. John r.
Taylor being present at the
meeting verv generously rendered
a. site for the erection Of the salt
watts. From what we are Informed
Mr.. Ozeme Jacobs will act as a
local representative for the Com
pany here and our farmers again
have an opportunity to realize
handsome profits growing cucum-
bers. Some years ago Mr. Jacob
and Mr.. Fav Breaux represented
a New Orleans pickle factory and
several thousands of dollars was
expended in this Parish for Gu
cumbers which can be raised 50
proftably.

Superintendent Of Education
L. R. lilly informed us this week
that the $2OO,OOO.OO worth of
bonds recently voted by the pub
Iic-spirited citizens of the sixth

High School building, had been
sold at par. The purchasers

ture has also been completed by
Messrs. Noel & Tory of New Or
leans and as soon as the site mas
been definitely decided upon, it IS
the intention of the School Board
to give out the contract for its
erection. Judging from the blue

merce office, New Iberia will have
one of the most modern edifces In
Louisiana, something which our

SESSION
IS DEMANDED FOR

SACRAMENTO, Feb pa special
tession of the legislature is the only
',hing that can prevent the circulation
of initiative measures to put an end to
The buying and leasing of agricultural
lands in California by orientals, and
(which will be voted on at the general
ELECTION in November
This statement was made by Senator
j. Nj Inman, president of the Califor-
MIA Oriental Exclusion League Inman
also declared that in the event a special
session is called and unsatisfactory leg.
lslation is enacted the league will pro-
'ceed with the initiative
I'VE want no half measures" said
1nman. I'VE will be content with moth
ing less than complete and final legis-
lation on the subject. There has been
too much talk and not enough action
on the oriental land question, and it is
high time our people wake up and see
where they stand. 1t will require SIS 900
names on this petition to put II over
but we are not going to stop at that.
We want to make it rs 900 at least.
THE legislation we want will prevent
any alient not eligible to citizenship
from leasing land or holding stock in
any corporation that buys or leases
land for agricultural purposes. Any
citizen holding land for or owning land
leased to an alien not eligible to citi-
zcnship must file a report within nine.
ty days showing why the land is held
or leased. lie must also show where
the money came from to lease the land"
While Governor Stephens is trying
to make up his mind about calling
special session the Exclusion League of.
ficials are proceeding with the prepara-
tionS of the measures to be initiated
Inman says this progress will continue
and that if the special session has not
been called by the time the measures
are completed the petitions will be put
into circulation.
The leagues membership list con.
tinues to grow, and branch organiza-
fionS are being formed daily in various
'partS of the state. According to re-
')Orts received by the league, the activ-
lty against the Japanese in Southern
California is more pronounced than in
the northern part of the state.
