Comment on Pershing
at Home and Abroad

"The idea of drafting a candidate
has introduced into the republican
political situation something new. 1t
has served to emphasize the fact that
during the past six weeks the PERISH
ing boom has been gaining in
strength by the employment of
somewhat novel methods. 1t has
now invaded the east. Mark Woods
and his two brothers, who are &C
companying him on this trip, have
been also in New York engaged on
matters affecting support for Perish
ing, which has excited the liveliest
interest Of politicians.
"Within so days it h said that an
entirely new direction will be given
to the candidacy of General Perish
ing. Political developments will
probably be such. as to force the
movement for Pershing to become
more definite. 1t has now outgrown
the bounds Of its place of birth, and
is spreading from the campus of the
University of Nebraska into other
states, where alumni of that college
are organizing Pershing clubs. Po-
litic3l organizations of various kinds
are also being formed.
Organizations now number l,500
in the whole country, and new
Pershing club, composed mostly of
former soldiers, has been organized
at Harvard, in the heart of New
England, whose Yankee" division a
year ago contained SO many men
hostile to the commander-in-chief of
the American expeditionary forces.
"A campaign that can show such
signs of vitality before the candidate
himself has placed himself on rec
ord with respect to the nomination
is something novel nowadays, when
the woods are full of hustling aspi-
rants for the nomination in self
avowed scramble for the most
prixed gift within the power of the
American people to bestow.
Some very shrewd political lead
ers, now ostensibly for other men,
are said to be devoted to the cause

How Alice Holcombe's Agitated
Voice Over the Telephone Az
fected Madee.

| felt the old burden of fright and
anxiety settle upon my shoulders
with Katie's tidings of Alice Hol-
combe's message.
There must be some new and ter
fifying development in the Stock
bridge case or she would not have
been so insistent in her telephone
calls. There had been an agreement
between us that on account of the
danger OF our intercourse being
spied upon, we should communicate
with each other only when there
was urgent need, and then under
the guisc of friendly casual calls
upon each other.
Katie was watching me with wide
eyed contrition.
Il sorry l forget she said
I'm sorry, too, Katie" | replied,
although there is no harm done, be-
cause | asked you about it so soon.
But If / had not happened to speak
to you it might have caused me a
great deal of trouble. You will try
to remember next time, won't you,
Katie dear?"
A Message Left.
ooh, l sooch a fool!" she sighed
so pathetically that | had hard work
to keep back the amused laugh
which would have effectually coun-
teracted my appeal But, you see,
/ try awful hard next time. no

~ trust not, Katie" | said in my
most serious manner, although |
knew that it was practically I'M
possible to change Katie's good-na-
tured heedlessness. Now / am go
ing out for little walk. If anyone
asks for me, say that | had an er-
rand in the village and will be back
in a few minutes.
"All right, feex," katie's voice
as she caroled the familiar words
which showed that she had already
banished from here mind all COM
junction as to her memory, and
IS | turned away from her | per-
mitted myself the rueful indulgent
smile I had before suppressed.
I hurried out of the door, afraid
lest someone should delay me. With
Dicky in the house, | did not wish
to talk over the telephone to Alice
Holcombe. The local drug store
with a soundproof booth was only
few blocks away. and upon the re-
ceipt of Katie's message l had de-
cided to call Alice Holcombe from
there. I knew that she had had a
telephone installed in her own home
during the summer, so / had no fear
Of the espionage of the friendly

Girls Speedy Ride to
New York Ends Back at
Place She Started From

: Bedford, N. Y, Feb. 22.-Marion
Davis, q years old, an inmate OF
the state reformatory for women,
said she was i'll and was excused
from school to 60 to clinic. In
stead of appearing before the physi-
can she walked out of the grounds
and to the country home of James
Fargo of the Well-Fargo Express
company, three miles away. Here
She asked that fast touring car be
telephoned for and shortly after
ward she was in a big machine
speeding toward New York.
On the road the chauffeur picked
up = guard whom he knew and who
was wandering over Westchester'
county in search of Marion. The
guard informed the chauffeur of the
identity of his fare without letting
the girl know that she had been rec
ognized. A few minutes later Mar,
ion unbundled herself from fhe
warm automobile robes as the ma
chine rolled majestically up to the
entrance of the reformatory, where
,he was again locked up.

ACTIVITY IN REAL ESTATE.

There has been great activity
In real estate circles within the
past ten days in New Iberia. Al
most every twenty-four hours we
hear of first one sale and then
another in our City. One of the
important transactions this week
was the sale of the lovely resi-
dental property of Mr.. Porteus
r. Burke ON lower Main Street.
This elegant home was bought
outright by Mr.. A. A. Theriot of
Morbihan. Mr.. Theriot will soon
take possession with his family OF
his valuable holdings. Mr.. Burke
in turn negotiated for the prop
ertv of DR.. Adolph Koch, opposite
the Catholic College which runs
from Main to Charles Street. The
present old dwelling will be torn
down and an elegant brick house
erected in its stead, just as soon
as the material can be hauled to
the site.
Last week we mentioned that
Mr.. F. E. Delahoussaye had
bought the lot on lower Main
Street at the corner of Main and
Center. Mr.. Delahoussaye III
formed us that he will soon erect
nice two-storv dwelling on the|
lot to he occupied by his family.
At the same corner on theI
North side the old house recently
bought by Mr.. Paul LeBourgeois
is being removed to the lot facing
on Charles Street. As soon as the
grounds are cleared, Mr.. LeBour-
geois will then proceed with th"l
erection of an elegant home.
Material is now being hauled tol
the site recently bought by Mr..
Fred Patout. In a few weeks
work will be commenced on hisl
two story dwelling which will
also be an ornament to that Sec
ton of the City.
Carpenters are busilv engaged
remodeling the dwelling bought
some months ago bv DR.. J. Wof-
ford Sanders. This property was
owned bv Mrs. A. J. Cammack
who sold to the above mentioned
gentleman.
Some days since in that same
section. one Of the Bell cottages
which is now occupied by Mr..
Francis Leblanc and family was,
transferred to DIR. E. G. Landry.
We have not yet learned whether
the new owner will improve it or
not.

after six months service in the
/, American Army, left New liberia
in August. 1918 and entered the
lemploy of the American Inter-
national Corporation, located ii
the Equitable Building, New York
City. Within one week he was
promoted to one Of its associate
corporations. the Allied Machin-
cry Co. of America, as an assistant
in the New York Collection De-
partment. He. was finally pro,
NOTED to head of his department,
which position he retains today.
He has had an unusual opportlln-
lily to study the export business,
a business in which America has
the opportunity to lead the world.
His work covers from the very
origin of the sale to the ultimate
collection of same. Collections
range from Wall Street to every
quarter of the globe. The Allied
Machinery Co. is the exclusive

Mr.. Moss states that the American

BUILDING ACTIVITY IN COM
MERCIAL BUILDINGS.

Within the next three months,
the Main Street Of New Iberia will
command the attention, and be a
pleasing sight to the eye of the
stranger. Not only that, every
New Iberian will feel proud of his
home City. Of course this will BE-
due primarily to the excellent paw
ing now under full Roadway,
despite the hardness in which the
brick and other material is being
received by the contractors.
Since this paving has been an
assured fact there are but few of
the old landmarks that is not re
ceiying some little attention in the
way of remodeling, painting, etc.,
and once arranged to suit the own
ers in the general appearance of
our main thoroughfare will be
quite transformation.
The first of the old landmarks
that is being converted into a new
building is what was known as the
Segura stores, corner Of Main and
Julia Streets, which was pur-
chased several months ago by the
Woodmen of the World Lodge.
The lower floor is almost ready for
occupancy now and will be used
by the w. McCarroll Auto Co. II
charge of Mr.. Florien Gaienie Of
Jeanerette. The upper floor of
this building will also be complete
" renovated and Gtted up as the
permanent home Of hat fraternal
benevolent Order.
A few weeks later the Elks then
purchased from the estate Of the
late George Simon the building
and grounds, of the old Alma
House, which had been the princi-
pal hostelry Of New Iberia since
the days Of reconstruction. or I'M
til Hotel Frederic superseded it.
Something like 100000 is being
expended by that Order on the
property and in few weeks it
will be ready for occupancy. It
is veritable gem and we do not
believe there is another commun-
itv Of this size in the United States
that will have better fitted home
for the pleasure and comfort Of its
members.
The brick building known as the
garage of Messrs. Leblanc &
Broussard was then another to
commence receiving attention.
Several months ago this firm pur-
chased the property outright and
made contracts for the erection Of
second floor. Owing to the in
element weather and great diff
Guilty in procuring brick and other
material it is only within the last
thirty DAYS that the work could
be proceeded with any degree OF
satisfaction. When finished. the
second story will be utilized as the
assembly room and repair shop
for Ford cars Of which Messrs.
Leblanc. & Broussard are agents.
The Pythian building opposite
the Opera House has also been
gradually taking shape until now
all that remains is to erect the
class front and concrete flooring.
From what we learn, the lower
floor will be utilized as a restau-
