FARM LOAN BANK
wins DECISION,
Will Reopen For Busi-
ness At Once,

The United States Supreme Cour
has at last decided the Federal Farm
Loan case, and has pronounced tn,
Act constitutional.
Some large banking interests have
been trying to kill this project fo,
some time, and during the trial the
Bank has not been operating.
During the winter just past quite
an interest was developed locally in
the Farm Loan Bank, and probably
twenty five of our farmers had a.
greed to form a club and borrow
from the Government.
But at this stage of the game in.
formation was received that the
Farm Loan Bank was not doing busi.
ness, until the Supreme Court should
release it from injunction.
According to word received from
Washington, d. c., the funds of the
bank will be available to farmers at
once, so the interest in Iberia Parish
will probably be re-awakened.
Money borrowed by farmers from
this Federal Bank may be used for
any purpose, such as making i'm
proyements, buying more land, pur-
chasing machinery and live stock, etc
but cannot be used for financing q
crop.
The money is loaned on a COM
paratively low rate Of interest, and
for long term Of years, making it
most attractive proposition.
Indirectly, also, the Farm Loan
Bank system will be a material con-
tributor to the general business read
justment program for all the money
the farmer will receive from such
loans will be put into immediate cir
culation, and business interests gen.
orally will feel the good effect there
of. Slowly, but surely, the readjust-
ment program is being worked out in
a most satisfactory manner and soon
the cry Of hard times and tight
money will be no longer heard in the
land.

FRIEND LUKE AGAIN

An issue of The Iberian would be
incomplete without chronicling some
"stunt" of Mr.. Luke L. Bertrand. 1t
would keep reporter busy to keep
up with his varied activities.
To demonstrate how easy it is for
a person to hatch chickens with an
incubator, Mr.. Bertrand has placed
seventy eggs in machine, and on
Friday morning they were Matching.
He has the entire outfit in one of the
large show windows of the store, and
it is quite an interesting sight to see
the little Rhode Island Reds break the
shell and step out into the world.
(The editor shall treat Mr.. Bert
rand extra nice now, for in a several
weeks he will have some "Springers'
ready for the pan, and maybe we can
work him for a couple.)

Mr.. Christian explained, 1--WE shall
employ only New Iberia labor
"These men have been making their
living at the ice factory" he said
"and we shall not remove any eff
cient employee"
This seems to be very square
proposition, and in return, the citi-
zens and merchants of New iberia
should extend their loyal support to
the new enterprise.
We were informed since writing
the above that DR.. Slaughter has
made arrangements to bring in ice
from an adjoining city to take care
of the needs of New Iberia until his
plant is ready to operate.
He will operate regular house to
house delivery, and this service will
commence within the next few days

BOCALUSA CAPITALISTS PURCHASED new
IBERIA ICE FACTORY LAST TUESDAY.
Plant To Be Rebuilt Capacity Increased--Ice Cream
Factory Will Be Added.

New Iberia citizens had begun tt
get alarmed over the prospects of ar
iceless summer, due to the closing
of the New Iberia Ice Factory sever
al weeks ago. While, of course, ice
could have been supplied from the
other towns, this would have proved
far from satisfactory in hot weather
But this week has brought develop
ments that will put everyone at ease
op the ice question, and an abundant
supply of excellent quality is now
assured.
DR.. J. II. Slaughter and Mr.. J. c..
Christian, both of Bogalusa, came in
Monday evening to complete negotia-
tions for taking over the plant of the
New Iberia Ice and Bottling Works,
and were callers Tuesday morning at
The Iberian office. Mr.. Christian and
Mr.. Quave, engineer of their plant in
Bogalusa, were in New Iberia last
week looking over the local situation,
and their trip this week was to close
the deal
These gentlemen operate in Bogalu-
sa a large ice factory and cold stor-
age plant, and are very successful in
this line of business.
"The factory in New Iberia will be
remodeled and greatly improved"
said DR.. Slaughter, and he added that
they expect to spend at least $4,000
in needed alterations.
He said that the capacity will be
increased to thirty five tons of ice per
day, and ice of the highest quality
will be provided for our people.
The gentlemen further stated that
wholesale ice cream factory will be
operated in conjunction with the ice
plant, and this product will also be.
equal to any on the market today.
They propose to sell the cream to
both local dealers and to dealers in
all of the neighboring towns. A
large quantity Of ice cream is now
being imported from New Orleans,
and business Of this kind is certain
to be well received in local circles.
1t will require about sixty days,
according to DR.. Slaughter, to get
everything in readiness, during which
time Mr.. Christian, who is to be the
local manager, will be assisted by the
firms expert engineer, Mr.. Quave.
When actual operation is commenced
Mr.. Quave will return to operate the,
Bogalusa business.
"To the fullest extent possible"

OF the Louisiana Railroad Commis-
sion to DIR. W. +. Carstens of New
IBERIA, to which Commissioner Ma
loney attaches considerable import
ance.
The letter, Commissioner Maloncv
SAID, evidently is a reply to a protest
from Dr. Carstens against the COM
panys demand for an order from the
railroad commission for prcravmont
OF telephone rentals. Commissioner
Maloney said telephone rentals gen
orally were prepaid in the cities and
larger towns, but that last year the
company asked that it be allowed to
adopt the prepayment plan in the
rural communities.
Commissioner Taylor's letter ex-
planned that the telephone company
had applied for the order on the
ground that it was losing thousands
OF dollars through persons who dis
appeared without having paid their
telephone bills The letter then reads:
1t was plain to the commission
that but one OF two courses was open.

payment of rental would have to no

IBERIA GIVES LARGE
QUANTITY OF RICE.
Sets Lead For State In
European Relief.

/
drive for funds to feed the starving
people in Europe, the current ISSUE
of the Literary Digest contains al
article reporting the progress of tn,
campaign.
Iberia Parish and New IBERIA came
| in for their share of praise, both fol
amount of cash given, and quantity
of rice donated
Hon. Jules Dreyfus, Parish Chair
man, had written a circular letter fol
use locally in getting donations, but
one of his friends sent it to the pub
fishers of The Digest. This widely
read journal thought so well of Mr..
Dreyfus letter that they published
part of it in their article.
The idea of sending rice to relieve
the hunger in Europe has spread
from the Teche country all over five
states, and several ship loads will be
started across the water in the near
future.
A New Orleans paper. Thursday,
says:
Easter gifts in the form of ship
loads of rice will be sent to the starv-
ing thousands of Armenia and the
Near East by the people of five
Southern states. 1t is expected that
Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas, Alabama
and Mississippi will contribute ap-
proximately $675,OOO worth in he
month between February 25 and
March 25th.
"Soon after Easter, the first of
these. ships will steam out of New
Orleans straight for Constantinople
its rice to be distributed to the hung
ry children who are so desperately in
need of it.
Rice Means Life" is the campaign
slogan. National committee men were
ready to take advantage of the South
erners' proposition because of the
tried nutritive value of rice as prov.
ed in the stricken fields of Armenia
Many authorities regard rice as the
most favorable food for sustaining
life on small rations. Their opinion
is based on the great energy-building
content of rice and on its easy asst
initiation by the weakened digestive
organs of the starving.
Southern grocers are aiding the
campaign by displaying bags of rice
as reminders to passers-by of the
food that is waiting to be bought tc
succor the children over there. Gro
ceries as well as hotels, restaurants
department stores and other publ.
places are displaying posters which
picture typical scenes of suffering ir
the Near East. Coin receptacles at
the bottom of these posters give op
portunity for contributions. Coupon
books bearing the slogan IA Bag OF |
Rice Saves an Orphans Life" also
being sold.
Headquarters for the five states
has been established in New Orleans
at the Hotel Grunewald, Room 16
with William J. Shallcross, Louisiana
state director in charge.
