| the statement Of Mr.. BrousSarC
was made in good faith, and no.
to deceive. when he said that il
1917, Mr.. Parker had been instru
mental in saving sugar when 5 L
cents was fixed at Washington
but later there was an agreement
to increase the price to 6 1-3 cents
This is not in keeping with
what had been done. Nothing
was done prior to October |, 1917
The food administration an
nounced it would allow the sale
of sugar on the open market and
sold five cars at 9.35 cents per
pound. November I'd of that
year the sugar manufacturers re-
ceived a message, not from Mr..
Parker. but from Mr.. Hoover, az
Washington, telling them they
could sell for not more than 7:35
cents less 2. That is what hap
pened.
Now in 1918 a majority of the
board of directors of the Sugar
Planters Association voted in
favor Of contract with the Ma
tional Food Administration. We
fought this, because this was Il
club over our head from January
to October l, when at a meeting
in the st. Charles Hotel in New
Orleans we received the remark
able statement from Mr.. Parker
that anv man interested in sugar
who did not sign the contract
would have his license taken from
him and would get no cars to
move his crop. We were unable
to sell our sugar until thirty days
after the grinding season began.
Of course in 1919 he deserves
no credit, for he told the people
Of North Louisiana, who guess
toned him, about the increase in
the price of sugar, that he had
nothing to do with the increase
as he no longer was food admin
istrator, but as long as he was he
kept the price down.
Great God, Bob Broussard
should rise from the grave and
hear such a statement as was
made here yesterday!
There is something wrong
though with Mr.. Parker. He
knew he had not done the things
claimed for him in his presence,
vet he said not a word in correc-
ton. You do not have to take
my word for this. Ask any ST.
gar planter who knows the
facts"
Mr.. Gilbert spent the day in
New Iberia before speaking here.
He knew, when he spoke in New
Iberia that night exactly what [
had said about the crops of 1917, !
1918 and 1919. He does not take
issue with me as to the correct
ness Of the figures which may be
verified by consulting the press

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain toe much alkali. This dries

tirely Ereaseless), is much better than
anything else o can use for sham

Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub it in. One or two tea

hair and scalp thoroughly. The lather
rinses out easily, and rernove every
