FORD PARTS CHEAPER.

Motorists all over the country have
been watching with much interest the
recent drop in price of almost all
makes Of cars. Especially has this
been true with the King of Low Pric-
ed cars, which has seen two drops in
recent weeks.
Now, in keeping with the down.
ward trend of cars, comes the an
nouncement from Ford headquarters
that all Ford parts are to be put on
the tobaggan also.
News of the reduction in all auto
mobile parts was received by Messrs.
Leblanc & Broussard, early this
week. and the new prices take effect
Immediately.
We do not know the exact percent
age Of this decrease in in price of Ford
parts, but Mr.. Leblanc states that it
is considerable reduction.
Fords are still selling at the rate
Of 20 per month from the Leblanc H.
Broussard salesrooms, half of the
number for June being Sedans and
Coupes, these closed types growing
daily more in favor with the motor
ing public.

IBERIA MAN RAISES RECORD
BREAK Err.

Two young Jersey cows owned by
Louis Pesson, dairy farmer and
Jersey breeder at New Iberia, La,
have just completed official records
that make them class champions for
| Louisiana.
Golden Ferns Bonnie Maid, start
ing on test at the age of one year
and IL months produced in one year
1864 pounds of milk and AS pounds
| of butter-fat which is equivalent to
524.6 pounds of butter. This is the
highest official record that has been
| made by any dairy cow in Louisiana
| under two years of age. This beats
the record of Jersey cows in her class
| in 27 states.
Sultana's Raleigh Maid, starting on
test at the age of 2 years and |
| month produced in year 977O pounds
of milk and 1901 pounds of butter
fat which is equivalent to 1912
pounds of butter, which is the high
est record for junior two year old
in the State.
Golden Ferns Bonnie Maid had to
produce 2505 pounds of butter-fat
in order to enter the Register of Mer
it, Sultana's Raleigh Girl 253 5
pounds in order to enter and both
cows have almost doubled the re-
quirements. The Register of Merit
requires for cow five years old,
which is the maximum requirement
for all cows is $50 pounds Of butter
fat. The above records are among
the best in the country for cows of
their age, they were made under or
binary farm conditions and the gen
eral health of the cows were in no
way effected.
Mr.. Pesson is cane planter but
has a very fine herd of pure bred
Jersey cattle which he uses to CON
sumo the rough feeds of the farm
and converts them into highly
marketable product in the form Of
milk and butter-fat. He is located
in the heart of the cane and rice seq
ton of the State, but on account of
the cash returns that he has received
from his dairy cows he has not felt
the effects of the present depression
in the market of farm products.
Mr. Pesson has a silo, keeps rec
ord of all feed that is consumed by
his cows and the milk and butter-fat
that they produce and also feeds a
balanced ration. His farm furnishes
one of the most practical demonstra-
lions that proves the value of dairy
cattle on the farm.

COURT HOUSE REPAIRS.

Hats off to the Iberia Parish Police
jury. Not only have they proven to
Ne road builders par excellence" but
now they are turning their efforts
toward an improvement that has gone
begging for the past many years.
At their last meeting the Jury re-
solved to see what can be done to-
ward making fit place of our Par
ish Court House, which as everybody
knows is not at present in keeping
with the Importance of the business
transacted there. nor with the rela-
tive importance of this parish.
A committee, consisting of Hons
l.. Cyrus DeBlanc, Leon j. Landry
Leonard Lyons and Pres. Clet Girard
was appointed to act with a commit
tee Of the Iberia Bar Association
composed Of Hons p. r. Burke, E..
r. Weeks and District Attorney Vuil-
lemot.
These six gentlemen will get to-
gether and formulate plans for the
remodelling and renovating of the
Court House, and submit same for
approval to the Jury.
One Of the most difficult phases of
the whole proposition seems to be the
financing Of the work and the hard
est part Of the committees work will
be to devise a method of taking care
Of the necessary outlay of funds.
With these seven heads on the job,
however, some way will most cert
ainly be found, and we hope to be
able to announce at an early date
that the contemplated repairs will be
carried through

PEOPLE OF JAPAN GIVE SMALL
HEED TO WARLIKE TALK

Observation-Disclosures people
OF japan give no heed to talk of 9
possible war between Janan and the
united States, according to Prof
Shiegeo Suyohiro, Of Toxic Imperial
University. who is here today con-
suitlng with leading American states
men on the subject of international
disarmament.
There is war talk in Japan just as
there is in the United States, Profess
sor Suyohiro said, but this he attri-
butes to a minority Of those who
nave lmperialistic plans for the de-
velopment of national power. The
great majority of the Japanese peo-
pie are progressive and realize that
peaceful negotiations is far more de-
sirable than militant actions, ac-
cording to the educator.
Anti-American feeling exists in
Japan, the educator admitted, but he
refuses to consider this as perma-
nent, and says It is but temporary
feeling brought about by the zap
controversy and the California land
laws.

LAFAYETTE WATER SUPPLY is
CUT OFF.

People who from time to time
think they have cause to complain Of
our city water plant might find some
solace in reading the following clip
ping from a Lafayette paper Of re
cent date, which says:
"Householders are suffering much
annoyance and inconvenience as a re-
suit Of the prolonged dry spell that
is furnishing so much sunshine and
blue sky in this vicinity, and condi-
tions have reached the stage where
this inconvenience will develop into
real suffering unless a good soaking
rain comes along mighty soon.
Dust is not the only source of an
noyance, though it is filing the air
almost constantly and making the
housekeepers' duties unusually irk-
some. Lack Of water, especially
among those who live in two-story
houses and hotels, is the greatest in
convenience. Only for few NOM
ents each day is it possible to get
water above the first floor.
Investigation at the city power
plant resulted in the information that
only one of the five city wells is run
ming. the other four being dry, and
the supply Of water from this one
well is inadequate to the demands.
This necessitates precautionary meas
ures for the reason that fire would
prove serious drain on the water
supply.
Trustee Peck said that if q good
continued rain would fall the situa
ton would be restored to normal
but If the dry weather continues the
city will experience far greater in
convenience than at present. The new
city well, which will be ample to all
possible demands for water, will be
ready within a month or six weeks.
