lief Council, is the American Red
Cross. As a.workef in this or
ganization I am glad Of this op-
portunity to state that this office
is ready to cooperate in every
way with Mr.. Dreyfus in this most
worthy work Of collecting funds
for the destitute children of East
ern and Central Europe.
1t may seem at times, that
the calls for help we Americans
receive are almost endless. How
ever that may be, the call that is
the strongest and which we
should heed among the first, is
that far off cry of the hungry
children Of Europe. NV great
sympathy for this cause is based
on actual experience; I was in
Europe in 1919, when the "rapa-
tries" were being sent back to
what had once been their homes
masses of broken stone and brick,
surrounded by land so torn and
dry that it was no longer fit Tor
cultivation. This was the well
come home with which the chill
dren Of France and Belgium were
greeted. And we all know that
however bad these conditions are,
they are better than those Of the
other war-torn countries-Poland
for instance.
'''In the name Of our splendid
American childhoody let us give to
the utmost, that little Poland
may have it's chance"

fault or negligence of officers Of
the Parish Of Iberia, but through
the fault Of the Conservation
Department, its officers, agents
and employees. This matter is
one that should be investigated
by some one in authority.
The Grand Jury desires to
thank all the officers of the Court
for their efficient and courteous
treatment of the Grand Jury, and
more especially to Mr.. George
Colgin. the Deputy Sheriff in at

IBERIANS ARE ASKED TO AS.
SYST STARVING CHILDREN
IN EUROPE.

Representative Jules Dreyfus
has accepted the appointment
from Herbert Hoover as the chair.
man of the Parish committee tc
conduct a drive for funds to re-
lieve the starving children Of Eu-
rope. While the people of this
country are having their own
financial diffic ulties. yet there are
but few who appreciate the con-
ditions in Europe where several
million of children and adults are
dying of hunger and want of
clothing to keep their bodies warm
during the winter months and we
feel satisfied Tberia's quota will
be raised to help Mr.. Hoover in
realizing his plans to raise $685.
100000. The need Of the starving
children of Central and Eastern
Europe is most urgent. It is a
life and death situation. where
orphaned, destitute, famished
children, pitiful consequences Of
the world war, must die unless aid
is sent. America is called upon
TO tide these innocent little ones
over until the next harvest. Mr..
Hoover estimates that $50, 900, 900
IS necessary. From the way We
understand it a real drive viii! not
be made, the good kind hearted
citizens of this Parish are reques
led TO send into the Parish chat :
man whatever they care to give.
They have answered every call
in the past and we know they will
not hesitate in this instance.

THE QUESTION OF TAX
ALTON,

At the meeting of the New
iberia Chamber of Commerce last
Tuesday. several communications
were read by Mr.. II. NJ. Carver
addressed to that body from both
the National Chamber Of Com
merce regarding proposed chang
es in the federal laws relative to
some Of the taxes now existing.
Another was from the New Or.
leans Board of Trade asking also
for the views of the members
relative to matters applying to
taxation that will come up be-
fore the members of the Consti-
tutional Convention. After dis
cussing these matters. it was the
sense Of the members that a COM
mittee be appointed to investigate
these different important ques-
tions affecting the commonwealth
and to report it at the next ses-
sion of the Chamber, so that a
vote will be poled and the senti-
ment expressed reported to the
proper organizations. Upon mo-
ton it was moved that commit
tee be appointed to study the pro-
posed changes in the law. The
gentlemen who will comprise the
committee are Messrs. Albert Es-
forge, Luke Bertrand, John F..
Schwing, Robert Perry, Chas. L.
Provost and .Porteus R. Burke.
President Carver then discussed
the great advantage Of the Farm
Loan Bank to the farming element
who wished to borrow money on
long time credit, and advised that
steps be taken by the Chamber OF
Commerce to invite DIR. Bouvier
of Jeanerette to New iberia to ex-
plan in detail the best way to
eorm the Clubs, so that the sys-
tenn would be understood by all
who need money to improve their
farms.
Other communities have taken
advantage Of the Farm Loan
Bank s terms and conditions and
Of dollars has been bor-
rowed to great advantage by the
land owners at small interest
and those sections Of the country
have prospered wonderfully be-
cause Of these loans, and it is
thought the citizens Of this Par
ish who need money to operate
their farms would be greatly ben
Gifted if they would make loans
IN long time with a low rate. Of
interest. It is the intention 20
get in touch with DR.. Bowler,
who represents the Farm Loan
of the Government
md have him explain the methods
# making loans, 50 that clubs can
be formed in every community
where money is needed.

\OOllllAtlCd HUN dye L.
leans, and, that TIL n,estigation
be conducted at New Iberia. at
as early a date as possible.
There are a number of mis-
statements in the report of your
meeting, and perhaps, you would
like to get these statements cor
rected before this investigation
begins, if so, l have all of the
papers and documents covering
shipments Of birds from Avery Is
land to other points during the
past twenty years and | will be
glad to show you my consecutive
files and allow you to make notes
from them, if you will be good
enough to appoint a day and come
to Avery Island for this purpose.
l do not attempt to offer any
defense Of your attack on Mr..
Alexander, and on the Louisiana
Department Of Conservation, for
this attack is unworthy and will
have no more effect on his stand
ing, both State and National, as
a Conservationist, than the vapid
yapping of a lot of coyotes on the
moon. But l will point out to
You as a fact, that due to your
probable absorption in petty
local affairs, you have evidently
overlooked the fact that through
out the United States and Canada,
wherever a meeting is held for
the discussion Of the Conserva-
ton Of Natural Resources, Mr.. M.
l.. Alexander, is spoken of, as one
of the four great Conservationists
of America. and the State of Lou
isiana. is cited as a model among
the States, in Conservation, and
her Conservation laws are consid-
cred ones for the more backward
States to adopt.
1t has been reported to me, that
one from your mass meeting oil
eight, stated, that it would be a |
good thing for the public, if some
one took shot at me. I urge,
that the one who made this re-
mark, is the one who should be re-
quested to carry it out "for the
public good" and I would sug-
gest, that an automatic shot gun
loaded with buck shot be used and
that an approach from the rear
would be his safest and surest
method Of attack. l would
also suggest, that he select
a place for the shot, at a point
where there is ample cover in
which he can escape unobserved,
Tor if. due to nervousness the shot
fail, although / never go armed,
used to be a baseball pitcher and
IAN still throw pretty straight
md should there be pebble or
piece of brick around L might be
to use it.
Trusting you will see fit to
larry out the suggestions offered
n this letter, which are made in
he fullest desire of fair play.
Yours very truly,

since Tuesday, January 4th, 1921
since we were empanelled W.
have examined eighty and sOme
cases presented to us by the Dis
trict Attorney, we have found A
true bills, and 81 no true bills.
Justices Of the Peace.
The Grand Jury find that q
large number Of trifiing cases
reach the Grand Jury, and take
up the larger part Of the time in
making Investigations Of these
matters. some method should b.
adopted whereby the Justices Of
the Peace could avoid sending
such matters to the Grand Jury.
and save to the Parish consid-
cradle expense and the Grand
Jurors considerable time.
City and Parish Health Officers.
We recommend that the City and
Parish Health officers make a sur
vey of the sanitary conditions of
the towns and Parish with view
of avoiding a possible spread Of
certain contagious diseases, this
can be done by having all private
and public places properly cleaned
and kept in a sanitary condition.
We further recommend and
urge that the proper authorities
maintain more tidy condition of
streets and public places, more
especially in the Towns and Vii
lagos to help decrease the fire
hazard.
Law Enforcement.
The Grand Jury recommends
and urges that the Sheriff, his
deputies, the Constables, City
MaDshals and police officers
throughout the Parish of Iberia,
rigidly enforce the automobile
license plate law. and insist that
all motor vehicles have the two
necessary license plates properly
displayed, as required by law. /
We further recommend that the
above named officers strictly en-
force all the traffic lows, ordinan-
res of City and Parish and State
laws more especially the ordi-
nances with reference to DINNERS
and the speed ordinances.
Sunday Law.
The Grand Jury calls the at
tention of the Sheriff. his depu-
ties, the several constables, the
City Marshals. the Chief Of Po-
lice. and all other officers Of the
law to the non-enforcement oil
this statute. It is the opinion Of
the Grand Jury that this law
should be enforced strictly.
Gambling.
The Grand Jury realizes that
gambling with cards, dice, slot
punch boards and other
devices is being openly and
flagrantly conducted in several
parts Of the Parish Of liberia, that
laws have been enacted to sup-i
press gambling, that at the last |
session Of the State Legislature
the Higgins bill was enacted pro-
gambling in all its forms, |
this statute seems to be q dead let |

SILKY MEETS MAJOR AGAIN.

II never supposed that birds had
30 much trouble. said Silky the
Monkey, as he and the King Of the
Forest We're walking through the
woods toward the Palace. ..If I had
known that I would have let them;
alone. But you see I thought they
were living a life of Joy and happi-
ness and that's the reason I usedsto
tease them SOME in the Southland"
You haven't cen the half Of their
troubles. That's the reason they have
wings to ny with so they can get:
away from their enemies, Then
Tinker Bob halted. There was a for
est creature coming toward him.
Now who is that coming this
way?" asked Silky. che seems to be
in q hurry. Ny goodness I did
see so many creatures before. This
forest is full of them, and they seem
70 follow you everywhere you CO."
You see Silky, you have been in
terested in yourself only and now that
you have come to E that there Is
someone else in the world who should
be given attention, you are surprised.
But. that's the way with all of the
Forest Dwellers. when they see the
need of giving someone else a chance
they begin to think the forest is a
great place"
Who is that fellow coming yon-
der?" asked Silky, as he watched ev-
cry move the creature made Have I
ever e him before?"
"Oh. tha. is Major Pole Cat I sup
pose he has a message for me. Yes.
you have seen him.
70 King" cried Major as he came
close enough to speak. Thu must
hurry to the Palace As quickly as you
can. There is great excitement
through that section of the forest"
Silky the Monkey was 4 little shy Of
Major for he could not forget how
he had showered him with the poison
LIQUID. $50 this is the fellow who tried
to hug me. is it, continued Major
looking at Silky anxiousiy.
This is Silky the Monkey" said
Tinker, Come up and shake hands

He climbed the nearest trec and hung
ON a limb by hts tail.
With him. You will find him a most
noble creature. He only wanted to
hug you because that is his way Of
ahowing his love for those whom he
meets"
II am sorry I tried to hug you"
sid Silky as he stretched forth his
hand and grasped Majors paw and
shook it vigorously. In fact he shook
it SO hard that Major could scarcely
hold his feet on the ground.
Il am glad 10 meet o Mr.. Mon
key and l hope we will know o
about each other when we live to-

Then Silky was 50 happy to think
that he had made q friend that he
climbed the nearest tree and hung
on a limb by his tail. Then he swung
to another limb and 50 on tbs the
King called him down. and they hu1-
