IBERIA PARISH FARM LOAN
ASSOCIATION BYLAWS,

We were requested by Mr.. St.
Dizier, secretary of the Iberia
Parish Farm Loan Bank Asso-
ciatiOn, recently organized, to
publish the bylaws in full as
they were adopted by the direc-
torship of the Parish Associa-
ton at one of its recent meet
ings. These gentlemen mean
to get as much good as possible
out of the opportunity they have
to give the farmers who are in
need of money quick relief.
The money is advanced for as
long time as thirty-five years
and at a rate of seven per cent.
interest. A part of the interest
as it is paid into the U. S. Gov
ernment is applied to the prime
ipal and in that way the princi-
pal is reduced yearly. Loans
are not at present made for the
purchase of farm property. The
purpose of the government at
this time is solely to give aid to
those who must have means to
save themselves from bank
ruptcy. Later on when funds
are available the government
will then lend money on the
same conditions to purchase
farms outright. Mr.. St. Dizier
who is acting as secretary will
furnish information about the
Farm Loan Association to any
citizen of the Parish. He in
vites the farmers to call at his
Office in the Chamber of Com
merce building.
Those who have applied for
money through Federal Loan
Bank here are Mrs. Alexander

Two Negroes
Domesticated

Nose Bridges and Tom Clay, Farm
ington darkies, became noisy on the
streets last Thursday evering, and
when demonstrated with by Night
Marshc, Sutherland, they became very
indignant and went to clanoring for
trouble. They succeeded in that also,
as the Marshal escorted them to Jail,
after bringing bridges to his knees
with blow on the head with heavy
club, which George thought was suf-
Rcient to fell an OK. After they had
been shown to their cell to permit the
troublesome brew, with which they
were overloaded, to evaporate, Bridg-
es decided that he was still feeling ex-
cessively mean, and told the Marshal
he would "cut him open,' and appar-
emily started to carry out such threat,
George Immediately drew his re-
volyer, and fired in the general direc-
ton of the belligerant negro, the cell
being quite dark. While the negro
was not hit, the fireworks were suf-
fcient to cause him to become sub
missive. The next morning they were
arraigned in Squire Zolman's court,
and a fine Of $40 and costs was as
,sessed against each Of them for the
city. and like fine was levied against
Clay by the county. Bridges was al
SO bound over to Circuit Court on the
charge of resisting and threatening
an officer. This experience may cause
them to inquire more carefully into
the percentage Of the stuff they
drink hereafter, in order not to exceed
their limit.

Auditor Hacknan
Should Tell Truth

The Times is sorry to note that
State Auditor HackRann is out in a
statement which, If not absolutely un-
true, at least is filled with errors,
judging from the rank in which he has
placed st, Francois county. Such err
rors or falsehoods, are likely to be in
the figures he gives in regard to all
other counties referred to as in those
concerning st. Francois county;
For State Auditor Hackmann's in
formation, if he is in need Of such in
formation, The Times will state that
ST. Francois county has no deficit.
Before the present month shall have
passed all outstanding county war
rants will have been called for. This
has not always been true, however,
and since the State Auditor is doubt
less attempting to make political cap
ital out of his late report, we will
draw little political comparison,
which are nevertheless facts--nct ru-
mors or reports.
When d Republican county court ex-
pired in 1916. St. Francois county in
herited deficit of something like
S25, 900. Since then until the first Of
the present year the county court has
been Democratic. Notwithstanding
the enormous expense account that
must be looked after in this county,
the Democratic court not only liquid
ated such deficit, but has accomplish
ed more in every line of development
and progress than perhaps any other
court the county has ever had.
Much splendid and expensive road
machinery has been purchased during
the past four years, so that the coun-
ty is now abundantly equipped for
the carrying on of such important
work. Neither has the county court
been in the least penurious in helping
along any meritorious work. The
court has never failed to meet any
community more than half way in con
tributions TO good road work, bridges,
etc. The record the outgoing county
court has made should serve not only
as pace-maker, but as an inspira-
tion as well. to the present and sue
ceeding county courts.

Chickens Real
Money Producers

Much has been said, by chicken ex-
perts and asheis, ii reg 4rd 10 poultry
as revenue producers. "Does it pay TO
raise poultry and eggs" has come to
be rather thread-bare question with
many, but as rule the sentiment is,
we believe, very largely in the af-
iirmatt::-e, But here is another argu-
ment that seems - clinch such con-
tention, which facts have come to The
Times the past week:
w. B. Phillips, whose place is just
south of town, on the Knob Lick road,
has 200 White Leghorn pullets, last
spring chickens, from which he Sc
cured I'll dozen and 4 eggs during
the past December. Such egg produc-
ton seems rather remarkable, es-
pecially for a winter month, where
there has often been insufficient eggs
to supply the local market. AT least
such production is altogether satis-
factory to Mr.. and Mrs. Philips, who
certainly understand how to turn their
work in looking after chickens into
profit.
These eggs were sold on the local
market for from 58c tff roc q dozen,
the average price being about Csc per
dozen, SO that the eggs obtained from
these 200 pullets amounted to prac-
tically $108 for the month, Mr.. Phil
lips estimates the cost Of feed for the
month to have been $40. leaving a
profit of $6s, which Is certainly a fair
profit oil the investment and care Of
the chiskens. Chopped meat scraps,
bran and shipstutf, with occasional
cabbage leaves, is the food used foa,
these chickens, whose eggs are ua-
usually lssrse and white, which would
grade as AL.

nature is behind the centralized busi-
ness control and human nature, as
well as human judgment, however
honest, is mighty onsartin." Better
be satisfied to go little slow and
sure and put your surplus change in
the home banks, the building and loan
associations, established and reliable
local mercantile establishments or
real estate, if you want to help build
up your town and community. The
profits will be just as large, or larger,
and the security safer, for, believe us,
there is no royal highway to quick
and easy money.

Reduce Over
head Expenses
Pennington, Mo-, Jan. a.


Editor Times:--I have noted with
interest your articles on needed civic
improvements in our town, and your
advocacy of bonding system to car
ry out the suggestions for sewerage
system, and the perhaps more press
ing need just now of extending our
water system, reinforcing the water
mains and overhauling the machinery
of the water and electric light plant.
While these important matters are
being considered there is another that
should engage the earnest attention Of
all Of our citizens-the more econom-
ical operation of our water and cleo
trio light plant. There is much over
head waste in the operation Of the
plant that could be avoided, and has
been since the system was Srst inaug-
urated. If remedied, as it should be,
light and water could be furnished at
less cost to both the city and con-
sumers.
But to the point: The cost of fuel
alone could be reduced at least $10O a
month. Since the plant has been run
ming it has been the practice of load
ing wagons with coal from the cars at
the gtatjaE hapiing it to the Rlalt by.
teams and unloading there, thus ham
ding the coal two or three unneces-
sary times. This all eats up money,
and as have said costs the city
about $100 month for the extra
work, to say nothing Of the waste of.
coal in loading, hauling and unload
ing, as well as wear and tear of the
streets. This has already cost the
taxpayers and consumers of water and
light between $4,000 and $25,00O,
enough to have long since retired the
original bonds.
The remedy for plugging this leak
is so simple that | am surprised our

PU UBL|C NO
LONGER RESPONDS
DRIVES FOR MONEY PASSES
WITH THE CLOSE OF WAR
NECESSITIES.

Chicago. Jan. THE drive-ridden
public has tied its purse strings and
is now vehemently shouting "no''
to drivers asking for funds to sup
port money charitable organiza-
tions.
The end of drives was seen when
a survey conducted by the United
Press showed that few appeals to
the public for large funds have been
successful in the United States dur
ing the last year.
The method of raising funds by
intensive public appeals was born
during the war when the public was
educated to. '.give until it hurts .
Golden streams continued to flow in
to campaign headquarters until a
year ago when the public started to
turn.
Charles A. Piez, chairman of the
United States shipping board, dur
ing the war, and who has headed up
many financial campaigns in Chi
cago and the middlewest, said today
that the intensive drive for funds by
charitable organizations is at an end.
THE public has been driven to
DEATH" Piez said. "If charitable or
ganizations are to exist some new
method must be found for raising
money
Piez pointed out that not only
does the public refuse to contribute
but that it is next to impossible to
secure volunteer workers TO solicit
funds.
The first big campaign to fail was
the Interchurch world movement a
year ago. In this drive only a small
percentage of the funds asked was
raised. The movement was to cam
paign annually for five years, but no
effort has been made since to revive
the movement.
The Red Cross in a recent drive
in Chicago received only so per cent
of its quota. the Polytechnic hospital
80 per cent, and the republican ma
tional committee 20 per cent. Fig
ures on the democratic campaign
were not available but it is under
stood only a small percentage was
raised.
(. The Salvation army, conceded TO
be one of the most popular charit-
able organizations in the mind of the
public, recently raised but $3.50 ,0G0
of its s425,000 Chicago quota.

FLOOD Of ALIENS
TO UNITED STATES
COMING IN FAST, SAYS IMMI-
GRAFTON WITNESS.

Washington, d. c., Jan. 7.-Testi-
mony by Commissioner Wallis. of the
Ellis Island immigration station,
that Europe was literally moving
to the United States and that a
flood" or aliens was imminent, still
left members of the senate immigra-
tion committee doubtful as to action
on the Johnson bill prohibiting i'm
migration for one year. Several
members expressed doubt as to
whether any measures to stop or re-
strict immigration would be enacted
at this session.
The committee obviously was inn
pressed with Commissioner Wallis
statements as to the need for inspec-
ton of aliens before leaving Europe
and for more rigid examinations aft
er their arrival here He recon-
mended that facilities be establish
ed overseas for such Inspections and
declared 90 per cent of the immi-
grants now arriving would be denied
permission to sail if they were ex-
dhlhSu at bhE pun 70 VI tt1DdI hdLlUi
by American officials. A system of
examination in Europe and upon ar
rival, Mr.. Wallis said, would prevent
an imminent flood or those diseased
in body and mind.
Fortunately, he added, steam.
ships can bring only 100000 a
year. 1t is in the limited transpor-
tation facilities and increased exam
nations that we still get the best
protection"
He declared reports of the public
health service indicated eastern Eu-
rope today, sis in the grip of four
epidemics-typhus. typhoid, dysen-
terry and tuberculosis
The war has undermined the
health of those countries and their
emigrants are dangerous to the
public health of the United States, -
he added.
Mr.. Wallis reminded the commit
tee that not a mothers son who
went to war in Europe was allowed
to return until he had taken a bath
in strongest disinfectants and his
clothes had been cleansed''
"Yet these people come here un-
cleansed and diseased" he added
"One of the greatest troubles we
have at Ellis Island is getting rid
of their vermin."

COAL PRICE SLASH
IS ANNOUNCED
PRESIDENT OF EXCHANGE SAYS
QUOTATIONS REDUCED 80
CENTS TO So A TON HERE.

Sioux City, Jan. 7.-Jrices of
have been reduced from so cents to
$3.50 a ton. This announcement
was officially made last night by j.
L. Browne, president of the Sioux
City Coal Exchange.
THE reason generally assigned
for this substantial drop in the cost
of fuel is price reductions at the
mines and the lake DOCKS" Mr..
Browne said. 1T is our belief, how
ever, that no further reduction may
be expected for the time being, due
to the high freight rate now pre-
vailing on coal in this territory
Anthracite that was formerly sold
at S24 ton viii now be available
at s2s.
Colorado coal, formerly sold at
s19, is now priced at SIS and
$3.50 Illinois coal that was quoted
at $3.50 will sell for SIS. All
dock coal. including Hooking Valley.
Splint and Kentucky lump. has been
reduced from s22.50 to $3.50 a
ton.
Steam coal that formerly cost in
dustrial plants So a ton at the mines
is reduced to 1925 at the mine.
These prices. it was stated by Mr.
Browne, will probably be in effect
until the more general resumption
of industrial activity throughout the
country.
Wagonload lots of coal TO a steam
plant that previously cost $1l.50 a
ton delivered will now be sold at a
maximum of SO and minimum of
$3.50. Both dealer and consumer
will probably feel grateful for these
reductions, said Mr.. Browne.
