BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT.

Reports from reliable sources indi-
cate gradual improvement in bust
ness conditions throughout the coun-
try generally. Some shrewd finan-
ciers go so far as to predict that next
year will be one of the greatest
prosperity for America.
The wise man, however, will not
bank too much upon predictions. He
will step with care and be sure that
he steps in the right place. Optim-
ism is commendable, but the man
who is too optimistic is liable to
come to grief if he begins to plunge
or splurge upon nothing more tangi-
BILE than a prediction. Courage, but
caution, is still the watchword.

been agitating for a new or remod-
elled court house, and year after
year the Grand Jury's report has
contained recommendations that
something be done to relieve the sit
uation. 1t remained for the present
Police Jury to take active steps, and
it now seems that Iberia is to have
building in keeping with the i'm
portance and wealth of the parish.

PHARR INTERESTS IN HANDS
OF RECEIVER.
Assets Greatly Exceed Liabilities and
Concern Will Hold Its Prestige.

On Saturday last Judge Percy
Saint appointed Mr.. Charles de B.
Claiborne, vice president of the Whit
ney Central Bank of New Orleans,
and Mr.. John C. Bussey Of Jeaner-
cite, co-receivers of j. N. Pharr &,
Sons, Ltd, of this Parish, one of the
oldest and substantial sugar firms of
the State It's liabilities are given at
100000, the assets at S2,500,000, and
the estimated earnings this season at
100000. The announcement Of the
receivership explained as the cause
of the company's difficulties, the 20
cents a pound drop in sugar in 1920
and the low prices of sugar this
year. The result, it was said, waS a
heavy loss to the company. The re-
ceivership was resorted to only after
every other means of continuing the
business had been tried.
