EXCITEMENT CREATE D
BY FINDING SKULL.
Many Theories Advanced
But All Proved WrOn9.

Quite q sensation was causef
throughout the city last week, when
J IT became noised about that a human
skull had been uncarthed under an
old building back of town.
1t seems that building. formerly
used as a colored bar and pool room
had been sold, and the new owne,
was having it removed to another To-
| cation.
Under the building when it was
| moved a few feet, was found a hu-
man skull in fair state Of preserva-
tlon, with no breaks Of the bones
and only few front teeth missing.
The officers were notified, and in a
short time they had brought the skull
to the Court House, where it became
the object Of much curiosity and spe-
culation
1t was the general opinion that the
person had met death from a heavy
blow on the mouth, because the front
teeth seemed to have been knocked
out.
Our amateur detectives evolved
many clues as to the identity of the
man, and how he came to be killed
and put under the building.
We will now go back five years
or more for the rest of this story.
About in 1916 Dr. Walter +. Car
stems had coored man working for
him by the name of Pepite. This fell
low was discharged for stealing and
general misbehavior. Shortly after
wards he broke into the doctors Of
flee and stole several articles. Among
them was a skull that DR.. Carstens
had especially priced because of its
perfect and exceptionally large back
teeth. He had Dr. Gayle set a tooth
in the upper front jaw to complete
the set.
Pepite then broke into and robbed
the Carstens home, was captured and
sent to the penitentiary, where he
later died.
One Of the Deputy Sheriffs remem-
bered that DR.. Carstens had been
robbed of skull several years back,
and called him in to see the one dis
covered under the house last week.
1t was at once identified as the miss
ing skull. DIR. Gayle also identified
it as the one he had set the tooth in.
Although several of the teeth had
fallen out, the one put in by DR..
Gayle was still just as he had set it.
And so the mystery of the dead

Bat when any concern can point to
q material increase in its develop
lncnt durinr the past few years of
hard times. tight money, bad crops,
and bad prices, that business is in
decd to be congratulated
That such thing can be accom-
pll he'd Is a real endorsement of New
Iberia rs q good business city, and a
good place in which to live.
Away back in 1912, nine years ago,
a quiet. businessIike appearing young
! fellow arrived in this city, and an
nounced to those with whom he hap
pcnod to get acquainted, that he had
come to open up q place Of business
whore clothing, drygoods and similar
lines Of merchandise would be sold.
The building secured was only 4Ox
60 feet floor space, not large enough
to accommodate very extensive
stock. But that fact did not worry
the new merchant, who said, "We're
small now" but Watch Us Grow"
Being a live wire, and keen buy
or, it did not take this newcomer long
to find out that there was great
need for store in this city that
would handle line of standard mer-
chandisc, priced so that dollar
would purchase one hundred cents
worth Of goods The people were
wishing for a place that would give
them the benefit of the odd cents in
transaction
This merchant knew that the only
way to sell right is to buy right. 50
he layed his plans along that line.
And so the store was opened, in
the little 40x60 building Across the
top front Of the store in faring let
ters was placed the Merchandising

Bring The Prices Down" And as n
prophecy of the future, in equally
J prominent letters was the motto of
| the store. Watch Us Grow"
1t took the manager of the bust
ness to Bring the prices down, but
! he kept his promise, and the buying
public brought abous the fullfilment
Of the prophecy, Watch Us Grow"
Each succeeding season witnessed
a better, larger assortment Of goods
on the shelves And strange as it
may seem, the prices kept going on
! down instead Of advancing with the
quality Of the merchandise "How
does he do it ?" was everybody's s
que ton
That. Iberians, is the history of the
birth and growth Of one Of New he
ria leading stores
"A few months ago it became evil
| dent that the old building could ac-
commodatte the business no longer.
It was either enlarge the store or
stop the progress. And everyone who
knows Mr.. Alfred Lewald, genial
Manager of The Speciality Store,
knows that to try to stop his pro-
gresslve spirit would be like trying
to dam up the Mississippi River. So
,hn, ho
ed to the public that he would move
into another building for a few
weeks, while the contractors remodel
led his store. and enlarged it. His
friends followed him into the tenn
porary quarters, stayed with him
there, and then followed him back
into the new Specially Store. where
Mr.. Lewald welcomed them with
probably the biggest merchandise ev-
ent of decade in this section.
This month he celebrates the Ninth
Anniversary Of his coming to New
iberia. The friends and patrons who
made the growth of the Speciality
Store possible, will be invited to
share with him the important occa-
sion. For the public's benefit, so that
they may long remember the Ninth
Anniversary of The Speciality Store,
Mr.. Lewald has arranged to stage
one of his big sales-only this time
the offerings will far excel in guam
tity and quality anything ever before
attempted in this line-but pursuant
to his general policy the prices will
go down as the quality goes up. Can
you beat it?

BIG ELECTRIC SIGN
ORDERED FOR CITY.
C.. of G.. To Advertise
Iberia'S Advantages.

The electric sign, advertising New
Iberia to the travelling public that
passes through here ON the southern
Pacific, has at last been ordered by
the Chamber Of Commerce
For some time this matter ha-
been receiving consideration from the
Commerce organization, and few
weeks ago a committee was appoint
by Pres. Albert Estorgc to look dc
finitely into the proposition.
This committee, consisting Of Mes
srs. G.. A. Barnes, Alphonse Davis
and Luke l.. Bertrand, have held scv-
eraI meetings and were able to re-
port at the last meeting with spccl-
fications and prices from the Federal
Electric Sign Company. which is re-
presented here by Mr.. Reeves, who
has his headquarters at the Hall Gar
age.
Certain alterations were made in
lbt SDtCiil1eliDiIS ~ hi'N ''Ni'i'''' = -
the meeting, and the committee was
then ordered to proceed with the clos
ING of the contract.
As finally ordered this week, the
sign will be handsome affair. plac-
ed between the freight and passenger
depots, at the Southern Pacific sta
ton.
Across the top will be the inscrip-
ton in electric lights, "New Iberia,
Queen City Of The Teche." On three
panels of blue enamel directly under
meath, will be the inscriptions,
"Three Largest Rock Salt Mines in
the World "The Only Rice Straw
Paper Mill in the United States" and
"New Industrial Plants Exempt From
Municipal Taxation"
The total cost of the sign will be
around $500, but it is the opinion Of
all concerned that it will be a splen-
did advertising investment for the
city.

COL. ALEX WALKER
DIES Az GREELEY

Greeley, Aug. l5.-Col. Alex Walker,
SO years old, resident of Weld coun-
ty for thirty-five years, died at his
hotel here at noon last Thursday, of
heart failure. He was ono of the best
known Republican leaders in northern
Colorado, and was an enploye in tho
county superintendent of buildings de-
partment.
For . number of years Colonel
Walker was general road overseer for
Weld county south of Greeley. In
1915 he was appointed water commits
sioner for the Platte river district be-
tween Denver and Greeley. Because
of dispute over the civil service law
he was not allowed to take office. In
1920 he was again offered the water
commissionership, but declined it be-
cause Of his advanced age, and &C
cepted subordinate position at the
local court house. Colonel Walker
had attended every Republican con-
vention and assembly here for thirty
years, and had been precinct chair
man for Platteville, where he made
his home, for an equally long time.

GIVE YOUR CHILDREN
PLENTY OF MILK

Many a farmer who understands tho
Importance of bone building in tho
young farm animals forgets entirely
that his children are subject to the
same requirements. Every farmer
knows that his calves arc inferior if
they do not receive sufficient milk.
The same applies to children.
The extreme importance Of milk in
the diet of children lies in the fact
that milk is one Of our richest calcium
giving foods, and calcium in an essen
tial BODYBUILDING mineral nutrient
The calcium requirement Of the child
exceeds that of the adult. Meat is
very low in calcium, fruit and vege-
tables contain small amounts, few
Of the green vegetables quite largo
amount.
But the main source Of calcium 10
milk. There is more calcium in .
quart Of milk than in . quart Of lime
water. A quart of milk day for each
growing child is desirable Allowance.

BURN CARCAssEs ....
AND PREvHGT DISEASE

Many serious and infectious dis
eases, among which are anthrax, gland
ers, hog cholera, blacAleg, and rabies,
together with many forms of internal
frequently attack new
hosts, because of ease in which the
disease is disseminated from carcasses
left exposed on the surface, where they
may contaminate streams, a. we'll az
the soil, or be eaten by dogs or coyotes.
Too much emphasis cannot be laid
on the Importance of the proper dis
posal of carcasses of animals and
fowls dead from other causes than
slaughter, says VIM. H. Feldman Of the
Colorado Agricultural college
1t has been shown that birds may
also be responsible for the transmits
sion of disease from individuals. The
repulsive odor alone should be suffi-
cient to insure a disposal which meets
the requirements of modern sanitation.
Among the methods most preferred,
burning, of course, comes first in eff
ficiency. If it is not practical to burn
carcass, deep burying is satisfac-
tory method of disposal. Burying,
however, should be deep enough to in
sure against attacks from dogs.
In case of very contagious disease,
such as anthrax, quick lime should be
sprinkled rather literally over the car
cass before covering with dirt to in
sure rapid decomposition.
