at Cork.


Cork, 1reland.-In the presence of
surpliced church dignitaries, scores of
his former comrade volunteers and
thousands of his countrymen, the body
OF Terence MacSwiney, lord mayor of
Cork, was lowered to it's resting place
in the Republican plot" in st. Fin
barr's cemetery, just outside Cork,
Sunday afternoon.
Despite the splendor lent by the at
tendance of the high churchmen, there
was simplicity marking the cere-
monies that was impressive. Outside
the cemetery, hidden by the crowd of
toWnspeople, two armored cars, ma
chine guns ready, and a half-dozen
lorries filled with fully equipped SOL
d1ers, were drawn up, imparttng a sim
lister air to the otherwise solemn pro-
ceedingS. But during the transfer of
the body from the city hall through
streets lined with crowds to st. Mary's
cathedral and during the procession to
the cemetery there was no disturb
ance.

that your dollar paid for poll tax goes directly to the Pub
Lie School Funds and the few hundred dollars additional
from this source will be most acceptable to the school a
thorties at this time.
So whether you have registered or not even II
you intend to register and vote, you should pay
your dollar You may change your mind next Spring
and want to VOTE but it will then be too late Upon your
action between and December 31st depends your
rights voting citizen for the next two full years ana
the next twenty days will decide whether you shall have
a voice in YOUR citys government whether you will
have to stand aside with useless regrets your con-
ISOLATION for inaction at this time.
Your duty those who read this and are informed,
does not end with paying your own poll tax. There are
among YOUR friends and acquantences who may not
read this "as CALL" Your duty includes the notifying OF
your friends and neghbors in this matter.
In the present times conditions change rapidly Unorc-
seen questions arise almost overnight. We can never
know when the forces Of vice may combine to make an
"Open Town of New IBERIA what is equally as unde-
sirabe we can never know when overzeaos reformsts

and has only his Sunday to go out with his family to the
Theatre prevented from enjoying this recreation at all
lit was directly result of the "broad-mnded" women
failing to register that this action possible, for the
ones in favor of CLOSED Sunday quietly slipped in and
registered and the others did not and could not vote
These ladies regret their lack of action but regrets do not
alter the conditions.
So whether you have registered not, pay your pol
tax before December 31s and then register next Spring

YOUR LAST CHANCE.

From time to time we have called attention in these col
ns to the necessity of voters, the ladies' pay
mo their no tax before the close of the present year II
thev wish to be able to vote during 1921.
Sheriff p a. Landry Ex-oflicio Tax Collector informs
rs that several ladies have responded to the notices pub
lshed and have paid their dollar However, only small
nroporton have done thus far and we now fufther
urge the remainder to get in line. 49,
We would call the attention again OF all soldiers OF the
World War that while they have been allowed to vote
since returning from the army without any poll TAX tnat
this exemption ceases with 1920 and that to vote next
wear the poll tax for 1920 will be required.
To the lady voters especially call attention to the
fact that failure to pay poll tax before January F1rst
1921 will not only debar them from voting during the en-
tire coming year. but also during 1922, as well.
The law governing this point states that voter must
hold po tax receipts for the years Immediately pre-
seeding the year which the person wishes to vote For
new voter only poll tax is required as will be the
case with all women wishing to vote in 1871 However,
in 1922 the women will have been entitled to vote for two
full years and therefore two years receipts will be &C.
manded of them, that of 1920 and 1921
It will be readily then, that the neglect in going
to the Tax Collectors office and paying the dollar for the
present year will debar them from voting for two full
years.
The fight to secure the equal franchise for women has
been won by them after continual contest of half cen
tury and it would be pity if through any lack OF infor
nation as to the legal requirements number OF the new
y enfranchsed should loose their rights Tor SO long
period.
This is the reason that THE IBERIAN is devoting so
much space to the subject and urging all ladies to attend
to this detail without further delay.
Next Spring the municipal election will be held when
if ever womans hand should be felt in political affairs.
will also be School Board election and special elections
certain to be called before the people of New Iberia
in which you will want to take part.
Not the least in the points to be considered is the fact

Observation-Disclosures.

Soldiers of the World War; Do you know that you have
only three weeks left in which you may reinstate your
War Risk insurance? Do you realize that never agar
can you protection at anything like the extremely
low rates that you pay for this insurance?
Perhaps you do not feel the need of life insurance now
but rest assured that before many you will realize
that those depending you should have protection II
event of your death You will then have to pay very
much higher rate than you renstate and keep up
War Risk policy.
The government has extended the time for reinstate
ment but the final date is December 31st The American
Legion is making great effort to have all ex-solderS
renstate their policies by that time
All the Governmental "red tape" has been dispensed
WITH and if you will just Mr. Nathan Davis or one OF
the ladies at the Red Cross headquarters in New Iberia
they will handle the whole matter for you gladly
Remember you have but three more weeks.

400. 900 Children Are Denied School

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10. Between
800 900 and 100000 children were de-
prived of schooling last year as a
direct result of the shortage of teach
ers. according to estimates made by
P. P. Claxton, former commissioner
of education, in his annual report
made public tonight.
No relief for the situation is seen
by the commissioner, who added that
while 10000 to possibly 100000 new
teachers would be needed during the
coming year, 1--WE shall have at the
outside 10000 prepared teachers to
fill vacancies, or deficit of at least
so. OOO."

ROCKING THE BOAT.

A pleasure boat was out on the Chi
cago river. One of the passengers
called, "Come over here and see the
beautiful eight from this side of the
boat!" Nearly every passenger rush
ed to that side of the boat, the boat
upset, and caused one of the greatest
tragedies in history.
The farmers were on pleasure
trip seeing sights in rice prices in
1919. One of the passengers called,
Look at the beautiful sights on the
1920 side of the boatv' The farmers
rushed into rice, upset the boat, and
caused a great financial tragedy.
In the case of the pleasure craft,
there were faults with the boat and
faults with the management, but the
fact was that the thing that rocked
the boat was the rush of every per
son to one side. In the case of the
rice tragedy there are faults that are
not with the farmer, but the fact re-
mains that the thing that rocked the
boat was the rush to plant rice to
the neglect Of we'll balanced farm.
A good merchant man loads his
vessel carefully and sees to it that
she is well balanced He figures on
weathering the heaviest seas, not on
having the good luck to escape them
A good farmer plans his operations
carefully and sees that his farm is
well balanced. He figures on being
able to stand alone in financia
panic and on bad markets rather thar
on having the good luck to get higf
prices all the time. He knows 1T Is
bad to have too many cattle on his
farm as it is to have too few. 1t /:
as bad to raise no rice as to raise al
rice. He remembers that the chick
en- yard is quite as important as thu
mule lot and that the garden is the
most important field on the farm. II
other words, he balances his farm
with thoughtful care and doesn'
rock the boat .-Ex. Press Service.
