PREPARE YOURSELF WITH
POLL TAX RECEIPT.

Our readers must bear in
mind that the collection of poll
taxes which is collected through
Sheriff Landry's office is now due
and should be paid not later than
the last dav of December. The
Registration Office will be opened
until May LIST, 1921. commencing

less the poll tax of 81 GO is paid,

City election next June. 1t
therefore behoovcs all Of the
women voters as well as the men
TO send in their dollar if they
wish to participate in the election
Of our new City Fathers next
June. The question Of selecting
an administration to guide the
destinies Of New Iberia the next
four years is one that should be
of primary Importance to every
voter, especially now that taxes
and other living expenses has
reached the top notch. New Ibe-
ria. we dare say, is not much, If
any worse off than many other
communities, in the way of pay
ing excessive taxes, but the time
has come now to select a conser-
vative administration--one who
will endeavor to work off the IN
debtedness of the City without
placing any more burdens on the
property holders. The citizens
generally have all approved of
every proposed public improve.

With the great depreciation Of
the products of this section it
would be- very imprudent to Sc

other idea than to retrench and
paw off the present Indebtedness
of the City. What we need is
real financiers now that we will
about have all Of the public i'm
provements we can hope to pay
for. and yet make the holding of
real estate safe investment.
Whenever conditions get so that
our citizens would prefer putting
their money cut at interest rather
than invest in home, it is I'M

We have always contendCd that
il is far better to keep the assess
ments as low as possible, SO as to
enable the property holders 10
vote special taxes for internal inn
pr0vemcnts. SO we. repeat again
the voters Of New iberia should
all qualify themselves to partic,-
pate in the next June election so
that the very best material avail
able will be placed in the City
Offices. While the salaries paid
are not considered sufficient for
an officer who gives New Iberia
all Of his time and attention, still
we must make the best Of it un-
der the circumstances and see that
the best.dualifed persons gets the
jobs. 1t therefore behooves
the interested citizens to put
themselves in position to
vote next June by paying their
poll tax. We have no AK to
grind. in the matter other than
to hope for New Iberia con
tinued prosperity and in that case
we do not want any legislation or
tax imposed that will not make
an investment in New iberia ir-
viting to strangers.

Home brew is very much III
evidence hereabouts according to
statement made to us by DR.. Fl.
Fl. Collins, the veterinary surgeon
on Friday morning. 1t seems he
was called recently to investigate
the condition of some swine
which had the owner puzzled ow-
ing to their capers. Not know
ing whether they had been afflic-
ted with some new disease, or
what the trouble might be, on
a thorough investigation the Doc
tor soon came to the conclusion
that the hogs had INDUCED too
much in some corn left over after
good home brew had been ex-
tracted from the cereal. For the
benefit Of the home brewers, it
is advised that the mash not be
exposed in any places where the
hogs can get to it, otherwise
sobriety amongst the swine may
lead to Mr.. Jesse Collins the
Prohibition Director making a
special trip to this vicinity to
investigate.

We have added to collec-
tons acknowledged last

We have several collections
that have come in too late for this
report.
We must again say to the pub
lie that but small amount of
this money will have to be spent
for useless things as we have sew
eral donations that will assist rs
in making the children happy,
but we have been called upon
heavily for actual necessities and
when coal is $500 per ton, our
general fund would not go far,
but for this Christmas collection,
which with the contribution from
the town. dues. and amounts do
mated during the year by the ac-
tive members, must meet all calls.
I'm order to do our work properly
we should have much more than
we have been able to collect.
We have always done this work
in such a quiet manner that we
feel sure had we given more
publicity to the cause our rev.
enues would have been much
greater. Our limited means have
only allowed us TO work along re
strictcd lines. We can only APP
peal TO the higher nature Of those
who feel for the poor and ask
them to contribute according to
their means.
As we 90 to press we learn that
the children of the Episcopal Sun
day School have given up their
Christmas tree and will send toys
for orr children, thus they are
setting an example of true
Christian spirit.
We have also Just received a
splendid lot Of toys from Pfster
JeweIrv Co. We are very thank
fuI for all these contributions and
will acknowledge next week the
donations on hand and others
that NAV come in.

Boil New Shaving Brush.

When you buy shaving brush,
boil it, thoroughly before using it or
leave it for four hours in a 10 DER
cent dilution of formaldehyde liuuor
at ITO degrees F. Either of these
methods will protect you from anthrax.
Before the war there was little
danger Of anthrax from the shaving
brush, as almost all Of these were
made from hair that had been thor
oughly disinfected in France or
Germany; but after 1914 the hair
came direct from Russia and China
via the Pacific ocean, and twenty
cases of anthrax have been traced di-
rectly to this source.
AS Ga per cent of anthrax cases are
fatal it behooves us to be extra care
full, in spite of the fact that human
susceptibility Is low-how low is in
dictated by the fact that only one case
Is known to have developed from a lot
Of 10000 infected brushes.

Fearful Engine of Destruction.

A warship that will combine in It.
self the surface craft, the airship and
the submarine is mo impossible dream
of the future" says Sir Fortesque
Flannery. president of the British So
ciety of Consulting Marine Engineers.
The tendency will naturally be to
scout the possibility of craft COM
binihg all these qualities. but Sir For
tesque is practical man and his opin-
ion is supported by Sir John Fisher.
who, when first sea lord of the British
admiralty. predicted that such craft
would come in no very distant time
and that the nations might then scrap
their navieS as junk.
The experiences of the recent war
show how difficult it is for surface
ships to fight airships or submarine,
and a craft combining the qualities Of
the two that could seek refuge in
either air or water would drive sur
face ships from the sea.
