New lberia-Burke High
way Contract Awarded.

sThe New IBERIA Burke gravel
highway should be under con
struction within the next fifteen
or twenty days, if we are to judge
from the action Of the State High
way Department at a meeting of
It's board, which took place in New
Orleans the early part Of the
week. 4 contract was let to Mr..
"A. n. Perry Of Colfax who was The
lowest bidder when the bids were
opened for the building Of the four
GO-100 mile road between New
Iberia and the line of the adjoin-
ing Parish. To-day the members
OF the Police Jury will be called
together to finish up the proceed
ings, 50 that the work can 5e
started Just as fast as the material
can be brought to the scene Of ac-
tiviticS. The total amount to be
expended on this highway which Is
II be borne by the State Of Lou
isiana, United States Government
and Parish Of Iberia amounts TO
&5S,T72.40, quite a snug Sam for a
four mile stretch and we trust that
when it is completed it will be
maintained in such manner as not
to let it 90 to pieces. Gravel roads
must be maintained and watched
over. or else they also become un-
fit to use. Once this little gap is
finished the Old Spanish Trail
route that we hear SO much about
will he in shape for the use of the
public.
This particular piece Of road
leading out from this City to
Burke has at times tested the
patience Of many who have to use
it to reach the Parish seat.
Thousands Of dollars that should
have been circulated in New Iberia
found it's way either to st. Mar
tinville or Lafayette several sea-
sons in the year, because it was
impossible to travel to New lbe-
ria owing to the impossible bog

taken to make these truant boys

eases where it is known children

WILL TEACH PIANO
IN COLLEGE AT AMES
Miss ROsalind Cook Joins
Teaching Force of State
College.

Miss ROsalind Cook has been offered
and has accepted position on the
teaching force of Iowa State college at
Ames for the coming school year. She
will be teacher of piano, a position for
which she is particularly well qualified.
Miss Cook visited Ames during the past
few days to look over the proposition
and has concluded to accept the offer.
Webster City people generally, as well
as the faculty and pupils Of the public
schools, will regret to lose Miss Cook as
director of music in the schools here, Il
position she has held with marked abil-
ity since her appointment to the place.
Miss Cook has for years occupied Il
prominent place in the community as a
leading and most efficient musician
her accomplishments in this line being
varied-and she will be greatly missed,
not only in musical circles. but in other
circles as well. Possessing exceptional
ability and being very deserving
young lady, Miss Rosalind Cook will be
pretty sure to achieve success in what
ever position she may be placed.

the onslaught they had run three men
around the circuit and tied the score!
Then a real battle set in. BY this
time most Of the crowd was back in
the grandstand, ready to see a real
game of ball. And they saw one. The
eighth came and passed with the score
still tied. And then the ninth. Ditto
the tenth. Same old story in the
eleventh. The visitors duplicated in
their half of the twelfth. And then the
AIonarchs put OIL their batting clothes.
The strain was telling little on the
visitors, too.
Puss latham, the heavy gentleman
who Tolls around out in the center gar
den, started the fracas. He got to first
on an error. Southwick singled, land
ing Puss safely on second. Puss had
been playing pretty hard game, so
they gave him runner and Carrico,
extra pitcher, replaced him. Mcrz got
a scratch hit and on bad throw to first
Carrico sped home and the game was
Won!
