! New iberia merchants, who are
fast awaking to the possibilities
of their own home town, wherein
they must either survive or per-
ish, are going to light Main Street
from the Post Office building
down as far as Railroad Avenue,
| if plans laid out 5y Manager Noel
lof the Chamber Of Commerce, ma
F! ture as per the expectations Of all
concerned.
/ At the open meeting of the
members of the Chamber Of Com
merce last Tuesday night, Mr..
Noel made known the plan sub
mitted him by Mr.. Henry Smith of
the Globe store on Main Street
near Julia Street. The plan pur-
poses to have at least three 250.
watt globes distributed on each
block, the merchants to pay for
the erection Of the posts and the
City to place four lights, one on
each corner Of each block, so that
Main Street soon may become a
real White Way" emulating i'll
a minor way Broadway and other
lbig streets in New York City.
The City is to do its part in
furnishing light and equipment
for the added lights and the rela-
tive cost to the merchant is so
small that the Main Street block
between Julia and Bridge Streets
has virtually been signed up in
tact, each merchant paying one or
two units at a cost Of ten dollars
per unit. AS an advertisement to
the down town district the scheme
of lighting is about the best pay
| ing proposition that has yet been
offered the New Iberia merchants.
Visitors in our midst, and we will
have many Of them when the Old
Spanish Trail and the Pershing
Way are in operation, will marvel
at the up-to-dateness of our lit
| tie City ON the Teche, and all this
means advertisement to New Ibe-
ria, not to mention the conven-
Iience of its own citizens in having
well-lighted streets.
President Alfred Lewald Thurs
day appointed committees to can
vass the merchants in each Of the
blocks and find out their DISPOSE
ton in the affair. Before the En-
terprise again goes to press the
editor feels quite certain that this
movement fostered by the Cham
Der Of Commerce will have been
consummated.
According to Mr.. Noel, who
consulted Mr.. Il. +. Villermin,
commissioner Of public works and
am expert in this line, the time
to build the electric light posts is
now, owing to the fact that the
Main Street is still incompletcd
and the work can be done with
more expediency and also at a
lower cost, no paving having to
be torn up to properly connect
the wires.
President Alfred Lewald was
absent at the early part Of Tues
day nights session but came in

tax for many years; and whereas,
the annual floods from the Atchaf-
alaya River have been encroach-
ing for many years upon lands
formerly devoted to agriculture,
Eresulting in the abandonment Of
many farms;
And whereas, many of our
farms have been under water
since the month of September,
1919, and are at the present time
submerged,
Therefore, be it resolved, by the
Chamber of Commerce of the City
of New Iberia. that this body takes
cognizance of the fact that bids
have been received for the COM
pletion of a back levee from the
Lafayette extension to Bayou
Lombarras at a cost Of a little
over eight hundred thousand dol
lars, and this Body does hereby
memorialize the Atchafalaya Ba-
sin Levee Board to accept this bid
and to expedite the construction
Of said levee which is so sorely
needed for the protection of its
most fertile lands previously used
for agricultural purposes and for
the development of a. large area of
additional lands which may read
Illy be devoted to agriculture and
to stock farming.

THE MOTHER OF MAN.

On the second Sunday in May
the nation will observe Mothers
Day.
| Every one knows Mother s Day
why it is, when it is, and for
what it stands.
It comes as close to our hearts
as Christmas or the Fourth Of
July, for it is the day upon which
we honor the mother of man.
The arms Of motherhood form
the cradle Of the human race.
They are the rock upon which we
rest our hopes Of the future, the
guiding star which leads human
ity through the perils of infancy
and into the safe harbor Of ma
tarity.
Pages upon pages could be writ
ten of the glories Of our mothers,
but not all of the words Of the
English language could do them
justice.
1t is beyond the power of our
humble pen.
All honor to the mother Of mani
May her days and her joys upon
earth be many, and may her home
in the next world be one worthy
Of the greatest handiwork of God.

BRING CONVENTION
 FROM SAN FRANCISCO
 FUR ROTARY MEETING

Unsuspected eloquence, long pent up, rang through the rafters of the !. M. C. A yesterday when the De.nocratic national convention, transferred for the occasion from San Francisco to the weekly luncheon meeting of the Phoe- nix Rotary club. brought out several silver tongued keynoters and than whomers who scared the eagle Of grandiloquence, out-IngersOlhng Rob ert and out Cheating the best Joseph ever attempted.
 The program was the first under the new plan recently adopted, and Group Five are entitled to the credit for all the fun enjoyed by the Rotarians. It was much in the nature of a surprise. but all the more enjoyable. It demon strated that the Rotary club need never go outside it's membership for an ora tor for any occa sion.
 Judge Ernest Lewis was given the exceedingly difficult task of handling a Democratic national convention, but he proved to be equal to the occasion. due partly to the holding out of the gaVel and Chairman's table.
 Russell Freeman delivered the key note speech. which had moist leanings: in fact all the addresses had, for diff ferent reasons. It was a corI5ing. or rather an uncorking, keynote speech, delivered as only Russell could. He called attention to Noah. who, after a long experience with water. did not drill wells after finding land. but planted vines.
 He was followed by Fred Cruice

chairman of the committee on plat form. who appeared with an armtul Of blanks. His particular plank. which he advocated with greatest zeal, ap- peared to satisfy most of the Demo Crats present. Mel Fickas and w. H. Thomson had considerable to add to the platform chairman's address, the latter pleading for q wet plank so that one of Arizona s greatest industries that of bootIegging. might not be dis turbed.
 E. Power Conway, in an address which for eIoquence might well put his candidate to shame. nominated Will liam Jennings Bryan. MT. Conway out generated the other nominators by us ing up most Of the time, thereby al most winning for his candidate With out a vote.
 Tn a remarkable address full of eN- traordinary figures of speech and won derful similes, fouis COg%ins placed the famous Governor Edwards of New Jersey in nomination. It was at once evident that for many reasons this candidate was a great faVorite with the Democrats.
 George r. Todd in a crisp and chal- lenging address nominated COX ol Ohio. and Charles Christy followed with the name of McAdoo.
 Nominations were about to he closed when Russell Freeman. a gray horse was nominated and stampeded the con- vention In a rising vote it was made unanimous.
 Edward F. Bennett. who was one o1 those engaged in the great city plan ming work in Chicago, was a gues1 of the club yesterday and gave shor talk in which he outlined in brief the work to be undertaken in Phoenix.

 The Massachusetts emblem was the last to join in the assemblage of state standards and as it at last was carried forward there was another great out burst Of appreciation.
