OFFICIAL MINUTES
CITY COUNCIL

New Iberia, La, Feb. 18th, 1921.
The Board of Trustees of the City
of New Iberia convened this day in
special session with Mayor H. 5.
Sealy presiding, Messrs. Girard and
Villermin, present, at O'Clock +. M,
The purpose of the meeting being to
discuss the paving of Center Street
and other matters needing attention.
Messrs Walter Carstens and a
committee of gentlemen appeared be-
fore the Board representing the tax
payers of Center Street, and sug-
costing that the City appropriate an
extra so cents per front foot, towards
defraying the cost of concrete
street, thirty feet wide, as was con
tracted for in the first place. After
general discussion it was found
that the City was without the n"ces-
sary funds to make the apDrOpr&-
ton and the committee decided to de-
fer action until a more appropriate
time.
A communication was ra...veo from
Richie Bros. requesting the payment
of the $4,000 90 balance dU.. said a
mount being held as a legality, until
such time as is necessary to satisfy
the Board that all claims have b, en-
paid.
Action was deferred on the issuing
of the check as requested by the said
Richie Bros, until the next regular
meeting.

The Future of The Country Weekly.

What is to be the future of the coun-
try weekly? This rests with the COM
munity and with the publisher. If
the community recognizes the value
and possibilities of the country week
ly and is willing to pay what it is
worth, and if the publisher realizes
his responsibility to his community,
then its future is bright, it will have
an important part in building up a
satisfying and wholesome rural life.
First of all, the country weekly of
the future will be recognized as a
community institution. This means
it will be prosperous. The communi-
ty will realize that it is unwise for
the community to have newspaper
which is not prosperous.
The country newspaper of the future
will not be sold as a newspaper, but
as a community service, just as the
telephone is service. No one thinks
telephone rental of from s12 to $50
year is high, yet in the service it
renders the paper is quite comparable
to the phone; and the telephone re-
ceipts can't be used to put on the pam
try shelves the way the old newspaper
can. A country newspaper is worth
more than the $3.50 or $500 usually
charged.
The publisher, of course will be a
recognized community. He will have
emancipated himself from the thrall-
dom of detail. He will have capable
girls who can do this sort of work
better than he can do it himself. He
will never find that he is unable to at
tend the meeting of the committees
in charge of the community house, of
which he is chairman, because he has
to fix balky linotype. 1t goes without
saying that he will have neat, well
organized, and systematized front Of
fee.
The people of the community will
know, also, that they have a part in
making it good paper. AS one coun-
try editor put it, the country week.

PRICES OF FOOD DROP.
Retail Trade Slower Reaching Lower
Levels than Wholesale Dealers.

Wholesale food prices during the
past year have declined much more
rapidly than retail. This is shown
by figures complied by the bureau of
labor statistics of the Department of
Labor.
Wholesale food prices dropped Al
per cent. in ~ months. Prices paid
to farmers dropped SO per cent during
the same period. But the prices Mrs.
Housewife paid at the grocery store
declined but % per cent. Food which
at the outbreak of the European war
would have cost her 81, during April
would have cost her S1.52. A year
ago it would have cost her $2.11.
In the wholesale markets, however,
food products which in 1913 would
have cost 81, in April would have
cost but $1.41, and year ago S2.79.
Farm products show even more
striking decline, and more nearly ap-
proach pre-war levels than any other
group of commodities. Products for
which the farmer received 81 in 1913,
during April brought him S1.15; a
year ago they would have sold for
$2.46.
In computing its statistics on retail
food prices, the bureau of labor Statis-
tics obtains prices on 43 principal ar
Ecles in 81 cities. The average price
of each is figured. These average
prices are then weighed" according
to the quantity of each article consum-
ed in the average workingman's fami-
ly.
The price of food and farm pro-
ducts at wholesale are based on quota
tions in representative markets of the
country. They also are weighed in
making computations, due allowances
being made for the relative import
ance of the different commodities.
Individual commodities illustrate the
discrepancy between wholesale and re-
tail prices.
Cattle which in 1913 would have
brought 81 on the market, during
March would have brought SLIP IL.
But sirlion steak, at retail, which in
1913 would have cost S1.54; the March
figures for round steak, on the same
basis, was $1.57.
Hogs, still figuring the value in
1918 as 81, in March would have sold
for S1,25 1-2 on the market. Pork
chops, also on a 1913 basis would
have cost the housewife $1.6S.
The relative price of bacon at whole
sale and retail, figuring on the 1913
basis, was $1.21 and S1.55, the latter
figure being retail. Hams on the
same basis sold at wholesale for $1.61,

tor. 1t is the product of its friends,
readers, and advertisers" No country
publisher could ever afford to hire
enough reporters to cover his terrific
ry as intensively as it should be COW
cred. And it is we'll he cannot. 1t is
better for the community to feel its
responsibility with the editor in max
ing a representative newspaper.-M. j..

and at retail for s1.81; lard at whole

and at retail for $1.s1; lard at whole
sale Sill and at retail S1.24.
Butter and eggs in their retail
prices more nearly have reflected the
wholesale decline. Eggs which IN
1918 would have sold for 81 at whole
sale, in March would have sold for
s1.2O at wholesale, and at S1.21 retail.
Butter, on the same basis, was S1.4S1a
wholesale and $1.50 retail.
The difference in milk is much
greater. It's retail figure on the 1913
dollar basis was Sill, while the
wholesale figure had declined to S1.49.
Corn meal was at retail S1.6O, and at
wholesale S1.04.

Omnibus or T,O;n-S,x?

xkT-1ACH man is an omnibus In which all
his ancestors ride said Oliver Wen
dell Holmes, who was wise man
who could say his wisdom engagingly. And
this smacks powerfully of eugentcs, as we
understand that term today-wh!ch appar-
emily is tending toward making the "omni.
bus. a high-powered automobile, fit to sur
vive the pace demanded by the thing we
know as modern life.
Yet this problem is nowhere near sol'-
ton, In the realm Of the lower creatures,
much used for illustration by the eugenists,
the sequence is clear enough. The 2.1o
trotter is born Of line Of harness horses,
trained to the track and not to the dray
There is not the slightest chance of the foal
of. carthorses, be he never SO well trained
and hammered, stepping his mile to the
featherweight sulky in record time
But in the human family every now and
then uprises man Of the most humble and
obscure lineage, not only his parents, but
their parents, and back as far as his lowly
pedigree is traced; and this man amazes the
world by his genius, and may revolutionize
an era by his powers.
The complexities Of heredity,. the pre-
natal influences that shape character and
ability, admittedly are well beyond human
ken. It is contended, with a fine show of
reason, that exceptional parents are more
likely than commonplace parents to produce
exceptional children; but this is by no means
scientific certainty Nature is full of dis
appointments in this line--and balances
them off with at least an equal number OF
welcome surprises --- = .: 90 =. ,..'s"
Z Perhaps it is because the times seem to
us to change so rapidfy-perhaps because we
cannot live long enough, even. in several gen.
erations to note the improvement seen in
the breed of harness horses: PERHAPS the
''throw-backs" in the human family embrace
the traits of ancestors long since forgot; that
the flashes of genius arising in lowly clans
reach back by devious and forgotten links to
some brilliant star that hundreds of years
ago charmed the social universe.
Because genius comes from log cabin in
the mountains where he learned to read by
the Pickering light of pine-knot fire is
no assurance that strain of the blood OF
Newton or Calico is not in his arteries.
Perhaps it all would be very exact, this de-
velopment of occasional twin-six in a line
of omin Buses if only we could see the whole
pattern of the race
It is significant, in way, that the pioneer
in his battling field of genetic research was
Sir France Gallon, who invented the word
eugenics. He was cousin of Charles OAR
win, and it is of further good augury that a
son of the evolutionist, Major Leonard OAR
win, is among hose who recently assembled
ut the second international congress on eu-
genics, bent on challenging the mysteries of
heredity. ~:t.. s.,-..

" HE taVOrlte indoor sport OF most people
is passing the buck. Which means
letting George do it. Ducking your
own responsibility. Putting up to somebody
else the disagreeble thing you are too lazy
and too cowardly to do yourself.
Ever. body does it, men as we'll as women,
but it is vice to which women are especial
ly addicted.
The chief reason that women get married
is because they want somebody to whom they
have a legal right to pass the buck, and they
work the privilege for all it is worth. AS
long as things going nicely and smoothly,
and breaking she wants them to happen,
a woman takes no more account of her hus-
bands authority as head of the house than
she does of the ukases of the Emperor OF
Timbuctoo, and she is just about as much
afraid of him as she Is of her pet Pomeran-
ian.
| She knows him for a meek downtrodden,
hen-pecked creature, who wipes his feet on
the doormat before he comes into the house,
and whose only official function in the home
is signing checks on the dotted line. Never
theless, when the need comes wife turns him
into the great and puissant receiver of the
buck.
Ask any woman to do anything she doesn't
want to do, and she pulls a virtuous face, and
says that her husband will not permit her
to do it. Ask a woman to contribute to a
charity or lend you money, and she will COO
and gurgle over you, and tell you how she
would just love to do it, but that she will

old Aunt Susie live with her, even if she is
SO grabbed and hard to get along with, but
her husband simply won't hear of it.. Mrs.
Thomson doesn't feel it right for her to spend
her summers in the mountains and her win
tiers in Florida, but her husband insists
upon it,
And you smile at the adroitness of the
gentle buck passers, and reflect how strange
it is that husbands authority never inter-
feres with the things that women desire to
do.
1t is because women pass the buck first to
their husbands, and then to school teachers
that the land is filled with children that
make one feel that Herod has never gotten

1t is common thing nowadays to hear
women complain that their IA, or Is, or 16-
year old children are entirely beyond their
control. The boys are hocdlums. The girls
are painted-up little Jezebels who roam the
streets and go with companions of whom
their parents do not approve and they come
and go at what hours they like.
It's because mothers pass the buck. When
Maud and Johnny were tiny tots and howled

instead of turning them across her knee,
and lifting them up to the higher life by

KEEP EATING FRUIT,
Bv H. Addington Bruce

TINE many who throughout the summer
and the early fall eat fruit freely, but
gradually cease eating it as winter
advances, are making big mistake in thus
abolishing their fruit intake. To this may
in part be attributed their poorer health IN
winter than in summer.
For fruit-especially fresh, uncooked fruit
is beneficial in several ways. Not only
does it promote bowel activity, insurlng free
dom from the toxic action of uneliminated
waste food products but it contains elements
OF the highest value from the standpoint OF
nutrition.
1t is rich in yitamins, now known to be in
dispensable to keeping the body properly
nourished. 1t is rich also in mineral salts,
no less necessary to nutrition than are the
recently discovered vitamlns.
Lime, potassium, magnesium, phosphor-
us, and iron are found in fruits in read
lily assimilable form. This means that for
the anaemic, whose systems deficient in
iron, fresh fruit is particularly to be recon-
mended as corrective and blood builder.
Indeed, health authorities now aver that
in treating anaemia it is far better to pre-
scribe such iron-containing foods as eggs,
vegetables, and fruits than to rely on the
iron in medicinal liquids and pills. It may
at all events be said that the tonic value OF
the latter will be slight unless iron-contain-
ing foods also are eaten.
Then, again, the daily eating of some fresh
fruit is advisable if only as protection
against the unhealthy internal condition
which medical men call acidosis.
The usual diet of the average man and
woman contains an overproportion of acid
forming foods, the tendency today being to
eat to excess such foods as meat, fish, eggs,
wheat, corn, rice, and oatmeal. These, OF
course, have a proper place in the dietary,
but for balancing purposes fruit may to ad-
vantage be substituted for them in some
measure.
And when fruit is eaten at regular meal,
the proper time for eating it is at the close,
not the beginning, of the meal Thereby
there is a washing away by the fruit juices
of food particles which, adhering to The
teeth, might promote dental decay harm
full to the organism in general as well as re-
sulting in a loss of teeth.
There are, to be sure, certain people to
whom the free eating of fruit is more or less
dangerous These include people of notably
weak digestive power, afflicted with stom-
aeh disease, or troubled by constipation from
some definite bowel obstruction.
Such people should eat fruit only under
medical ia ction. But the average person
is SO constituted that fruit is not only toler-
ated well, but is SO beneficial in the respects
mentioned that the increased cost of most
fruits during the winter months should be
no bar to their day-by-day consumption.

Lloyd George Not Coming
IT may be well enough, after all, that Mr..

Lloyd George will not be England's
representative in the conference on
armament Limitation. There is perhaps no
statesman in the British Isles nor in all Eu-
rope in whom the American people take so
keen a personal interest as in the present
Prime Minister with his stirring career and
rich humanity; certainly there is none they
would welcome more cordially; he is
type after the American heart. There is
substance, however, in the suggestion that
Mr.. Lloyd Georges present political involve
ments and his intimate part in the peace
negotiations at Paris, while not really dis
qualifying him for forthcoming Washington
conference, might at least diminish his use
fulness.
From the central subject of armament
limitation are likely to radiate divers ques-
lions concerning international peace and JUS
tice and methods of maintaining them. In
such discussions, the present relations of the
United States to the Versailles treaty being
considered, minds unentangled by previous
controversy may prove to be most suitable.

The Song of the Sb;nd1es

IN a highly interesting report on activity
in the cotton spinning industry for Au-
gust the Federal Department of Com
merce shows that in the United States there
were operated at some time during that
month 33, 059,211 spindles out of a total of
36,617,584 More informative is the state
ment that the aggregate number of hours OF
activity of these spindles was 7,S19,916,9S1.
From the fact that the average work day for
the entire country is about eight and six
tenths hours on basis of twenty-seVen work
days for the month, it is inferred that the
average number of spindles operated in Au-
gust was 31,524,190.
Georgia's part of the record is notable.
In this State, 2,648,325 spindles were oper-
ated, the aggregate of spindle hours being
585,959,O6S. For the other textile States the
figures, as summarized by the census bu-
