eral discussion among many of
our4itizens and at last it begins
to tWok like real development
program is now under way that
will certainly make Iberia, St.
Martin and st. Mary Parish the
banner oil parishes Of Louisiana.
1t only takes real development
as the Little Bayou field has
already been made a proven field
with its twenty and thirty bar
rel flow every day since the well
was brought in by the Little
Bayou Oil Co. a couple Of years
ago. &

TIL! efforts of the directorship
OF the New Iberia Chamber of
Commerce has been felt in more
ways than one since the organi
zation was perfected here. The
last stroke of efficient work was
that which prompted the officials
Of the Southern Pacific Railroad
to purchase eighty acres of land
from Mr.. l.. L. Mathews on Jam
uarv 14th for the establishment
Of ballast pits for their numerous
road beds which comprise about
400 miles in Louisiana. These
negotiations had been under way
for several months, and at one
time it was thought New iberia
would be passed up. Thanks,
however. to the committee who
was assigned to this work, they
again interested Mr.. j. III. Par
sons, the vice-president and gen.
eral manager of the Louisiana
lines and on the 14th the pro-
ceedings taking over the prop
erty was passed on by Messrs.

Week ending March 4, 1921 :

While it is realised that at this season
Of the year pupils are apt to attend
school less regularly on account of the
opportunities for field labor, as we'll as
becoming tired of school work; never
theless, something must be done by
every te?cher and principal to keep the
attendance from getting lower and to
raise it above 0.00% if possible.
2, The maximum fines as provided by
law will be imposed by this office on pa

AS mentioned In saturday ISSUE,
there will be no cine show at the theatre
this evening owing TO the circus.
One Of the largest and choicest ga her
ings of the resi- reliability was present in
the Christiansted Theatre on Saturday
night at the exhibition of the Danish
film showing the ceremonies of the trans
fer and occupation Of north SchlesWig
which province was restored to Denmark
under the provisions of the Versailles
treaty. At $50 the occasion was opened
with an address of welcome by Director
Eduard Gedde who in the most excellent
ly chosen English reviewed the loss Of
the Danish province in 1864 following the
war With Germany and Austria, the hard
ships and oppression which the Danish
population OF the place experienced un-
der the German administration, the love
for Denmark and the cherished hope Of
remuneration which the people preserv-
ed all through the fifty odd years of
German rule, and the Danish tradi-
ton which still fingered that a Dan
ish King would some day ride across
the border marking the restoration of
the union with the old mother country.
which prophecy was fulfilled in July
1920. Mr.. Gedde paid high tribute to
the part which our government under
President Wilson took in ~effecting this
happiness of the Danish people, and at
the close of his address the Danish and
United States national anthems were
played while the audience stood rever-
emily. The pictures were splendid; clear.
interesting, and instructive, and show
ed many views of the King of
Denmark on the memorable day:
at Copenhagen, at Holding, at Dyb-
Dol and Haderslev, but the view that
took and brought forth r~hunderous ap-
nlause was that showing him crossing
the old German frontier at Friedrickshof.
During intermission refreshments were
served gratis. Afterward followed the
second part Of the programme which
was to consist solely of foreign views and
a comic, but on request to repeat the
Danish film, a part of this was shown
once more. The Danish element was of
course fully represented, and there
were many natives, and a few CONT
nental Americans: all OF whom it is sure
enjoyed a very agreeable evening for
which thanks are due to the promoters. the
West India Sugar Factory, its directors.
and especially to Mr.. Adamsen and Mr.,
Gedde, and Mr.. R. Petersen manager
OF the theatre who remembered many

WESTERN BROKERS
LOSE LEASED LINES
Seven NOn-Members of Stock
Exchange Must Give Up
Wires and Tickers.

Seven out of town brokerage houses
in the automobile district of the middle
West have had their New York Stock
Exchange tickers ripped out and their
leased wire service to New York Stock
Exchange houses discontinued as the re-
suit of an investigation made by the
exchange authorities. The investiga-
tion'is the first step in sweeping move
to eliminate from stock market opera
tions as far as possible firms not giving
their customers Il square deal or not
sticking to the exchanges rules.
OF seven firms to lose their wire SER
vice four are In Detroit, one in Flint,
one in Akron and one in Cincinnati.
The investigation was begun by the ex-
change In September and official an
nouncement of its action was made yes
terday on the floor of the exchange. The
following statement was given out yes
terday at the exchange:
I'm September the board of governors
Of the Stock Exchange learned of GER
tain irregularities in the transaction of
business on the part of n-member wire
connections of Stock Exchange houses.
The board of governors called these ir-
regularities to the attention of the mem
DcIS OF tIle eAcndnSe uOIE Il wire DuSl-
ness and notified them that they would
be held responsible for the conduct of
the houses connected by wire with their
offices and that any further failure on
the part of such houses to observe the
standards OF business conduct required
by. the exchange would cause immediate
removal of the wires of the houses so
offending
Accountants In the employ of the
exchange have examined the books of
non-member houses having wires or
tickers in various parts Of the United
States AS the result of the reports Of
these accountants he authorities of the
exchange have caused the removal of
the wires of number of houses Each
OF these houses has reported transactions
to its customers at prices different from
the actual prices at which such trans
actions took place, to their own profit
and to the injury or the customers. The
board of governors will continue their
examination OF the business methods of
non-member houses having wires and
tickers. and in every case whore it is
discovered that a house Is guilty of
irregularities in the conducs of it's busi-
ness wires and tickers will be summarily
removed"
1t is expected that other announce
ments of similar action will be made
from time to time. The institution is
not only inquiring into the question as
to whether or not customers have been
treated fairly in the matter of price but
is investigating every phase OF business
conduct with respect to nor-member
houses. Bucketing and other forms of
irregular practice in connection with
stock operations will be taken up as well.

nounced to-day that 1t would not ask to

said:
This decision has been arrived at
because. although some loss OF revenue
may accrue which the road can i'll af-
ford to bear, it is more important that

cultural products, such as cotton and
wool, should not be further Handicapped
by reductions in rates made outside
