Half Million Dollar Mill To
Be Located Here.
IS Acre Factory Site Purchased Wednesday BY
Boldt Paper Mill Company.
The Big Deal mas peen put over!

The Big Deal has been put over!
Mr. Charles Boldt, proprietor anc
ola owner Of the Boldt Paper Mills
Company of Cincinnati, Ohio, was
hore in person Monday and Tuesday
- this week, and before leaving he
.omnleted the purchase of site fol
tbe big paper mill he has finally, de-
snitely decided to locate in our city
Now Iberia has had more or less
.vnerience with paper mill PROPOSE
,;ons during recent years, and some
neoule might confuse the Boldt pro-
;sct with the one that has been hang
mo fire for so long. But we have
made some Investigations along this
line. and can assure our readers that
he plant now under consideration is
, bona fide proposition.
Mr.. Boldt is a manufacturer of pa
uer, or paste board, boxes, especially
corrugated paper boxes, and as such
ne has the highest rating given any
eoncern by Dunn and Bradstreet and
other credit rating agencies. Incl
aeutally, he is also one of the largest
manufacturers of glass bottles in the
limited States, having q factory at
Huntington, West Virginia for this
work.
Almost year ago, Mr.. A. c. Ber-
nard got in touch with the Boldt in
terests on the rice straw proposition,
and had considerable correspondence
on the subject with them. At present
they are using wheat straw as raw
material, and had always been under
the impression that rice straw would
not work satisfactorily for their use.
During the month Of May, just
passed, Mr.. Bernard shipped two car
loads of rice straw to their Cincin-
natti mills for test, with the pro-
mise from them that if fifty percent
finished product could be obtained
hey would consider New Iberia's
claims seriously.
The test resulted in a SO per cent
finished product, with as good work
ing quilities as the wheat straw. Mr..
Doldt Immediately made arrangements
ioe trip to our City.
The site purchased Tuesday by him
i tract of Is or 16 acres lying be-
tween the N. /. & N. tracks and the
Bayou Teche, on both sides of the
road to Jeanerette, just below the
Carver Rice Mill, and known as the
Weeks property.

"New Iberia is fast awaking to
it's possibilities and, IN my humble
opinion, will again take its place
among the foremost cities of
Louisiana if the New Iberia

shot from the verbal gun of DIR.

New Iberia early in the week,
working in the interests of Tulane

Girl of 20 Smashes
Looping Records, FIips
Her Machine 81 Times

Mineolo, N. Y, August lG -
The world record for loopiug-tbe.
loop by women aviators was broken
when Miss Louise Cromwell, 90, Of
Cincinnati, dipped her machlDe 81
times. The best previous per.
fOrmance made last year by
French aviatrix, was 25 loops.
The record came IN part of the
ceremonies marking dedication Of
the .Curtiss AiIdrome, formerly
Hazlehnrst Field, of the principal
army air posts during the war.
Driving u Curtiss X 6 standard
type, Miss Bromwell went alofr
and tilted her machine 5000 feet.
Directly over the field she began
the loops. While observers checked
off each complete tipover, the
young woman kept gradually
losing height. She had got
down to scant thousand feet
when, over Hampstead her ma.
chimes engine began TO miss.
Fearing an accident Miss Bromwell
circled in long slant down to her
starting point

several buildings necessary for the
factory. All buildings, some 6 or 7
in number, will be Of brick, concrete
and steel construction, with tile roof
The largest building, the process
building, will be not less than 400
feet long, extending from the road
almost back to the bayou.
The plant will be ready for opera
tion by June 1st of next year, and as
that will be too early for the 1921
rice crop they expect to purchase at
least 5000 tons of rice straw from
the present crop and hold it over to
start on next summer.
When under full headway the mill
will require about sixty five tons of
straw every twenty four hours, and
this will open a new source Of reve-
nue. for the growers Of rice along the
Teche. All that is required is that
the planter will thresh so as to stack
his straw on fairly high spot so
that the balers can get it out easily.
Not less than one hundred men
will be required to operate the paper
mill so one can readily see the size
of the weekly pay roll and the effect
it will have on business here.
AS an evidence of good will the
citizens of New iberia subscribed
$5365.OO toward buying the site for
the mill for Mr.. Boldt, the soliciting
being done by Mayor Sealy, who des-
erves much credit for the interest he
displayed throughout the entire tran
action, as does also Mr.. Bernard who
is really to be credited with the loc-
ating of the Boldt enterprise in New
Iberia.

MONEY INITIATION PRICE INITIATION.

Thirty principal countries of the
world, as figured up by the National
City Bank of New York, and not
including Russia, have increased
their papcr-moncy circulation from
S7,25O,0OO,O00 in 1914 to S50,O00.-
100000 in last December. This is
an increase of almost 600 per cent.
The ratio of gold to notes in the
Central European countries has
fallen from 1917 in 1914 to IL per
cent. In the Allied countries the
ratio has fallen in the same time
from 1916 to III per cent.
Our own note circulation is
shown TO have increased from ST.
56,OO0,000 in 1914 to S4,O51 ,000,-
900 last December, or 800 per cent;
while our ratio of gold holdings
TO notes has fallen from 90 per
cent to 1923 per cent.
Europe generally is thus shown
to be on an inconvcrtible currency
basis. But the United States, great
as has been its monetary initiation
in any other comparison than with
Europe, is evidently able easily to
maintain convcrtibility.
In the fact Of so vast and uncX
amplcd an expansion of the circu-
lating medium, there can be no
mystery about the general rise in
prices. This will be found largely
to correspond in each country TO
the increase in the currency volume
of that country. And when price
is but the expression Of the value
Of any commodity in terms of The
actual circulating medium. what
ever it is. The fact could not we'll
be otherwise. The way back TO
lower prices is by way OF rcduc-
ing this supcrabundancc and con-
Scqucnt cheapncSs of the currency.
