ing the success that it has won in New
York, Chicago and Boston. Scratch
My Back" is the Installation of a Ru-
pert Hughes story and although this
authors name has never before been
connected with comedy he has DEM
onstrated the versatility of his pen I'm
the construction of this story. Scratch
My Back" is a daring departure in the
art of film making. 1t is comedy of the
high speed, convulsing order but ming1-
ing with all its fun is dramatic inter-
est as strong and as interesting as any
reader of Rupert Hughes could expect
to find in one of this favorite authors

during which Palace audiences will be
treated to fine diversion Tip that
little canine formerly big part of the
act of Bob and Tip and considered byil

gently trained dog on the stage, is an
other number that will prove entertain
ing.

Seyenth: AN APPORTUNITY

As a member of the Chamber OF
Commerce you are afforded an
opportunity to work for the condl-
tions you have, as a good citizen,
long hoped for: you can help
things happen.
Eighth: YOU GET OUT WHAT
YOU PUT IN.
If one gives his best efforts be
ia justified in looking for results
favorable to himself, material aud
ethical. He profits in dollars and
cents through the increased pres
tige Of his city; but best of all in
personal satisfaction at having
come out of his own shell of self
interest and broaden horizon.
Ninth: FOR FUTURE GEN.
GRAFTON.
He is a email man, # not mean,
who cares only for his own success
and for the prosperity of his
own generation alone. Therefore,
the brOad-minded citizen seeks to
ally himself with those forces
which are building the city of the
future, for his children, and his
Children's children.
Tenth: IN CONCLUSION:
The Chamber of Commerce
movement ought to prove a big
impetus to the growth of the city
in every phase of it's life. No
citizen ever takes a real interest

Everyone knows, or should

upon the people as to whether a
City stands stills or advances. 1t

To the Honorable Board of Trus.
tees, City of New Iberia,
Gentlemen
l deem it my duty to call yonr
attention to the condition prevail
ing since the year 1917, and up to
this time with little prospects for
early relief. The price of fuel,
material and labor has necessarily
gone up, due to the conditions
brought about by the war, the
City has been operating the w alter
aud Light Plant at a very close
margin, up to this date, feeling
that relief would be in sight when
the war came to an end. Though
the warts practically over, prices
are yet on the increase; aud
finding that q great number Of our
people are using Electric Current,
necessitating the purchasing Of
meters and tranformers by the
City. There being no fund to pay
for these extra meters, etc., except
from the earnings of the Light,
Water and Power Plant, l re-
specially suggest that our rates
be increased just enough to asslst
in the maintenance and operation
of the Light and Water Plant
until such time as q normal
condition presents itself.
Respectfully yours,
Il. F. Villermin,

CLOSED SHOP COUNCIL TRIES TO FORCE ISSUE BY CALLING STRIKE

Following 9 strike order said to nave been issued several weeks ago by the building trades council, efforts were made yesterday to put the strike into effect The number of men affected by the order yesterday differs widely from that issued by the building trades council and by those generally ac- quainted with building operations In the city.
 The strike order was brought about, it was said by the withdrawal of the plum bers from the building trades council, announcement of which was made some time ago. It was with the intention of forcing the plumbers back into the council, if possible, that the strike order was issued. it was stated
 Although it was stated by the Du1Id- ing trades council that S00 closed shop men went out in obedience to the strike order. and that there were but 25o open shop men at work in the city. these figures were said to be far from correct and that the building opera tions were little, if any, affected by the strike order
 The Phoenix building trades council held q meeting last night and named a press committee, but issued no state ment. It was said that a statement would be given out today.
 Meanwhile, the greater part of the building operations in the city being open shop, are going forward without interruption.

He offered to paint an automobile for a Phoenix man for only s10. provided the owner furnished all materials The deal was made and Smith began work on the car. When the owner took some friends around to see how the painting was progressing, the car and painter were gone.
 As there was only about pint or gasoline in the tank of the car which was to have been painted, Smith was forced to desert it after going few blocks Members of the police de- partment already were searching for him. They found the deserted car, and continued to look for Smith. Grove and McGrath finally discovered him hiding in the rafters of a local garage. where he had been employed for a short time. According to the police Smith confessed to everything charged after his arrest. He blamed his cap- ture to the shortage of gasoline
