FIJI ISLANDERS STRIKE

You've seen Fiji Islanders in the movies. It de- veops that these brunei gentlemen, when they aren't posing with their spears and skirts be- fore movie cameras work in the sugar-cane fields.
 Also, they labor unions.
 Right now they're striking. Here's what they demand:
 'Three dollars per day of six hours Five days per week. with Saturday and Sunday as clear hoh- days Half pay in of sickness. Employers to provide each native worker free with two-room cot tage table, two chairs bed. mattress, bath and lavatory medical attendance five be provided free'
 "The employers staggered the demands says news report.
 Many n American employer will squirm in his swivel chair and soft sympathy for the Fiji Islands employer who has a head hunter pcketing the front door.
 Gone is another illusion
 The clock is striking 12 the romantic day of the pearl hunter and the gatherer who leg ironed his tropical slaves and fayed them with the dried rasp- like skin of a snark fish.
 It doesn't read that way in the story books the movies the far the earth fast adopting the starched mode of life practked in Phoenix.

what was purported to be an appll-

TO CLOSE THE SABINE GAP

Along the Sabine river, talk mas
been renewed Of effecting the long
talked-of but rather costly junction
Of the good road systems Of Louisl-
ana and Texas by means of per
manent highway through the Sabine
lowlands and a bridge across the
Sabine river at Orange. Besides the
advantage offered for purely local
travel, this will close an embarras-
sing gap in the Old Spanish Trail S
Highway to the Pacific coast.
The building Of the highway is up
TO Calcasieu parish, which voted
tax for it some time ago that after
ward proved imperative because Of
some legal flaw. The police jury will
call an election this week, to vote 9
1-mill tax for three years for the
purpose of building this road. 1t will
cost, by recent estimates, $25O,0O0
The building of the bridge is the
business of the city of Orange, and at
a meeting Of the Chamber of Com
merce last week the various types OF
bridge proposed We're discussed. a
steel bridge will cost $165, 900 and &
concrete bridge $4,000. Apparently
Orange will be ready to get the
bridge under way this fall, and means
to build the road will be available a

DARKNESS OR LIGHT.

In recent issue of the Abbeville

ordering an election held on August
%, for the purpose of determining
whether the taxpayers are in favor
of mourning debt to the amount of
1925 900 90 for the purpose of purz
chasing and constructing a Water
and Light Plant that will fully serve
the needs of the town and people.
The Editor says:
at is a question of an immediate
bond issue or no lights and water in
the near future. Which shall it be?
AS it is we have had no street lights
for many months, and it is folly 90
expect renewal of street lights
from the present junk-system.
The election is called for August
%, and the taxpayers have ample
time to discuss the matter from every
angle, and the columns of the Meri-
NiOiioA CIV OPSii W you az stii tiiiiCo
This matter is one with which ev-
cry taxpayer is vitality concerned
and it is to their interest that this
matter be thoroughly analysed anc
made plain to all. Every mans view
point is worth considering"

ut is up to the tax payers to de-
termine if new plant is needed for
better light and more water. We all
know the light is scant and water is
liable to give out at any moment. We
might be able to do without light, but
to be without water, means more

Why Build A Sweet Potato Storage House?

corning the benefits coming from a
sweet potato curing house, which
should be read by every grower OF
that crop.
Mr.. Hull. sweet potato specialist
in the State University Extension
Division gives several good reasons
why every farmer who grows sweet
potatoes should have a storage house.
Here they are:
"a The storage house will keep
the potatoes at a minimum of loss
from rot.
(2) The curing process improves
the flavor of the potatoes and makes
them more salable.
CD The expense and labor OF
making the dirt banks each year IS
done away with.
(4) The house can be entered and
the potatoes removed during wet OF
cold weather. This is not practicable
with dirt banks.
90 The house can be used foi
the storage of Irish potatoes ano
other farm produce after the remov'
al of the sweet potatoes.
co Sweet potatoes produce three
times the feed value per acre OF corn
Cribs are built to store corn. "h!
not house to store sweet potatoes
(O The storage house increases
the livestock capacity of the farm.
(S) Sweet potatoes are rellshet
by all classes of livestock. A storage
house will enable you to feed then
the year round.
90 Sweet potatoes reduce the
cost of production of milk and pork
A storage house enables you to fec
them daily.
(1O) The storage house is simple
and economical Of construction ant
operation. Any farmer who is handy
with saw and hammer can built
one.

GOOD MORNING, JUDGE"

That is becoming a common eX-
preston around the City Court since
the last few days.
The police officers are making a
desperate effort to break up the traf-
fic law violations, and Judge Power
is backing their work up with 100
percent in convictions This week
they have a record of one a day, and
all were made to pay fines.
The Judge stated Friday morning
to an Iberian reporter that there are
not going to be any more S. fines for
speeding in his court, $40 being the
least anyone can hope to get for even
first offense. The second time you
are brought up it will be twenty
five dollars" and if you get caught
for the third time it will be twenty
five dollars fine, and 80 days in jail
Sounds like the Judge means bust
ness, doesn't it?
Last week he gave a colored man,
"Sam Johnson, $50 fine for practic-
ing medicine without license, and
this Friday he had another such case,
second offense by colored woman
called Baseline Copes. She paid a
500 fine the last time, and got the
limit this time, whatever that is.
According to the way the Judge
talks, if any one runs into person
and hurts them while exceeding the
speed limit in an auto, he will see
that they are tried under the State
law, which carrys penalty of $1,000
| fine and two years in jail
! Looks like speed fiends had better
get wise and cut it out.

With each succeeding year the pro-
duction Of the two great staple crops
of Iberia. Parish is lessening, due TO
the unsettled market conditions, and
the changable weather that makes
the growing of these crops, rice and
sugar cane, a gamble pure and SIM
pie.
Our farmers are constantly look
ING around for profitable substitutes
for these two crops.
1t seems that in this particular
parish, and in many neighboring par
ishes, the sweet potato is taking the
Mace of the other two crops. 1t IS
an acknowledged fact that the pro
fits from a good variety OF sweet po-
tato are much greater than IRON
other rice or cane. The Porto Ricar
Yam seems to be the favorite selec-
ton.
1t only remains for the planters e

tato will become our biggest crop
This present season has seen an IN
crease of over a hundred per cent il
the acreage devoted to this product
and with excellent yields promised
there can be no doubt that a like IN
crease will occur in 1922.
There is sure to be some dissatis

few of our farmers have gone to th'
slight trouble and expense OF erect
