IBERIA PARISH REAPS
ROAD BENEFIT.
THREE STATE ROADS WILL
PASS THROUGH CITY.

New Iberia has been exceptionally
well treated by the law makers at the
State House who are handling the
State Road System bills.
On Wednesday of this week the
House Committee reported favorably
the Douglas Cooley Williams Biz,
which was introduced as a substitute
to all the road bills previously in
troduced. This measure is a combina
tion of the best features Of all the
other bills, and is thought to elimin-
ate the Objectionable parts Of all.
Sixty routes are provided by this
new bill, and if passed, these Routes
will be constructed and maintained
by the state department
Route No. 2 comprises practically
the same highway as that covered by
the Old Spanish Trail, and runs from
the Texas line to the Mississippi line
on the east, connecting the following
towns and cities:
Beginning at the Texas State line,
near Orange, Texas, thence through
Vinton, Sulphur, Lake Charles, Jen-
nings, Crowley, Lafayette, New Ibe-
ria, Franklin, Morgan City, Gibson,
Houma, Raceland, Des Allemands,
Gretna, Jackson Avenue, New Or
leans. thence to Canal Street and
Gentilly Avenue, Chef Mentuer, Sill
dell, Pearl River, to Mississippi
State line near Logtown.
Route No. 25 runs through the Rice
Parishes, with New iberia as the
central point of Importance, starting
at Oberlin, through Jennings, Elton,
Lake Arthur, Gueydan, Kaplan, Alb
beville, New IBERIA, st. Martinville,
Breaux Bridge, Arnaudville and Port
Barre. where it gives us an outlet to
all northern parts Of the state through
connection with Route No. 7 which
crosses the state from east to west
through that town, entering Missis-
sippi directly east of Bogalusa, and
the Texas line west Of DeQuincy.
Route No. Sc is strictly iberia
Parish road, commencing at New
iberia and running through Loreau-
vile to Dauterive's Landing on the
lake.
This is perhaps the most compre-
hensive state road system ever devils
ed by any state in the Union, and
will enable one to travel to every
parish seat and all towns Of any i'm
portance without leaving the hard

ARMIST|CE DAY WILL Be
OBSERVED HERE.
PARADE. ADDRESSES AND BAN
QUET ON PROGRAM.

At noon on Armistice Day, Nov
ember II, the entire Nation will be
asked to pause in its customary pur-
suits for a period Of two minutes in
silent honor and remembrance of the
unknown dead of the World war.
President Harding will issue a pro
clamation, asking that such observ-
ance be made, and it vii, be univer-
sally complied with.
America is d grateful nation, and
there are no men or won en- in this
broad land who are not willing to
give at least two minutes of their
time to silent prayer and rememb-
for the dead heroes whose lives were
as dear to them as ours is to us, and
who, in the line duty to their coun-
try, made the supreme s.crifice.
Preparations on large scale are
now being made by The American
Legion and the Auxiiiarys Of The Le-
gion to celebrate Armistice Day in
New Iberia in a most appropriate
manner. At a recent Joint meeting Of
these two organizations, plans were
outlined for observance Of this great
day, and it goes without saying that
November 18th this year will long be
remembered by our citizens as one
which was most properly celebrated
Captain f. F. Roy, who has charge
of the arrangements and publicity
work, stated that he is planning on
having as many fratefnal and civic
organizations participate in the pa
rade as possible This, he claims,
will be one of the main features Of
the day and besides the Legion and
the Auxiliary, Co. ''E'' 1st Infantry,
L. n. G., will be in line and will add
a military color to the procession
The Spanish American war veterans
will be invited to take part, as well
as the Confederate veterans. Special
ly decorated automobiles will carry
the latter and they will be given ev-
cry accommodation possible. The
school children will also be requested
to turn out and it is hoped that every
school in the city will send its full
quota.
Another feature of the parade will
be line of decorated automobiles
and motor trucks, prizes being offer
ed for the best decorated entry Of
each.
1t is recalled that Armistice Day
is now legal state holiday. A bill
recently introduced in the Assembly
by Representative Rudolph Weinman
Of New Orleans was almost unani-

DIR. \. A. KING PLANS
TO RETURN.
FORMER IBERIAN EXPECTS TO
AGAIN MAKE HOME HERE.

Among the many pieces OF good
news arriving in the office of The
Iberian recently, probably nothing
has seemed better to US than the in
formation received this week that our
good friend and fellow townsman,
DR.. Henry A. King, is planning to
return to New Iberia and again es-
tablish his home in this city.
DR.. King always has been enthusi-
astically connected with every move
ment for the betterment of his home
town. He is an Iberian first, last and
all the time, and an energetic work
er in all civic affairs.
It will be remembered that yeaH
or two ago DR.. King removed to
Baton Rouge, and has been engaged
in the practice of his profession in
that city. But he has now definitely
decided to return to his old home in
New IBERIA, and between now and
the end of the year he expects to be
re-established here.
DR.. Kings return WIFI add another
to the list of physicians in this city,
already probably the most efficient
of any city Of similar size in the
South; it will add a ole-hearted
worker to the Chamber of Commerce,
and increase our number of GOOD
citizens

IBERIA PARISH EXHIBITORS "CLEAN UP" ON
PREMIUMS AT FAIR.
TWENTY ONE FIRSTS AND TIL RTEEN SECONDS AWARDED TO

much greater number than were Sc
cured by any other parish in the
District
There was very close opposition in
quite number of the entries. but
the big surprise came when Iberia
grabbed off the First Premium for
growing this variety but a short
time here, and several of the parishes
have been specializing in it for
hanber of years.
Our corn exhibits secured two first
and one second, out of quite a mum
Der of varities, showing that we ore
weak in this branch of agriculture
Mr.. st. Dizier, however, assures Us
shat his Corn Club work among the
school children is going to bring us
up in this also.
Talk is now stronger than ever in
ria next year.
On one or two occasions our local
fairs have shown up superior TO the
District Fair. One OF our Poultry ex-
hibts had twice more fowls on show
than were at the Lafayette Fair this
year.
1t is almost certain now, that the
Iberia Poultry Growers Association
will be reorganized during the winter,
so that all will be ready to start
their flocks with the Spring of 1922.
This parish absolutely cannot be beat
in the poultry line. Our Jersey breed
ers are also winning names that are
recognized throughout the State.
The list of prize winners at the
Lafayette Fair follows:

found in the results of the exhib-
tions at the Southwestern District
Fair, held at Lafayette last week.
With very little notice, and no
time for spreading general informa-
tion to prospective exhibitors, the
Committee representing the New
Iberia Chamber of Commerce went
out and collected number of arti-
cles of farm produce and prepared
them for display in the Iberia Parish
booth at Lafayette
The work of selecting the exhibits
and arranging the booth was done by
Miss Rita Soulier, Secretary of the
Chamber Of Commerce, Mr.. Luke
Bertrand, Chairman of the Agricul-
tural Committee, and Mr.. st. Dizier,
Parish Farm Agent.
Taken as a whole the Iberia booth
presented an appearance superior to
any of the other parishes. How well
the committee had done the work Of
selecting material may be best illus
trated by giving the list of prize
winners among Iberia exhibitors.
This list, furnished by Mr.. st. Dir
ier, is not quite complete, as the
prizes won by Mr.. Louis Pesson on

been reported at the time this report

will close at noon on that day and
thereby help a great deal in COM
memorating the day.

The tolling of bells at noon and a

POE ANNIVERSARY

Today is the SeVehIy-sec-
.ond anniversary of the death
of Edgar Allan Poe, great
est Of American poets,
father of the modern short
story, and a name honored
all over the world as one OF
the Immortals. Poe's gen
Jus consisted in the perfect
wedding Of music and words
Rhyme, rhythm, metre,
thought, language-all in
wondrous harmony, and
forming such a f1awless
union, that the divorce OF
either from the rest would
mar the matchless express
sion.
The purity Of Poe's verse
is notable. Much of it seems
not Of this world but far
above it, in ethereal regions
where the soul is freed from
its material dross, and I'M
clogged by its letters of
flesh. The passion Of love,
as portrayed by him, is of
the same exalted spirituality
a: that of Dante for his
Beatrice. The charm of Poe
lies in the spell he casts upon
his readers. He opens Vistas
into realms but dimly seen;
a twilight Of romance and
revery; a hint of a
supernal existence; of. a life
of celestial beauty, that we
may all be heir to after this
life's fitful fever. Keats
and Shelley are the only two
English poets with whom he
is comparable. There is
much of the same idealiza-
ton of things earthly, COM
mon to each.
Master of the domain Of
verse, as he was, he shone
with equal brilliance in
prose. His short stories are
among the greatest, if not
the greatest, in any Ian
guage. There is no ap-
proach to them among Eng
fish writer's. The French
only are worthy of compari-
son, and they have with one
voice acclaimed him as their
master and their model.
Flaubert, Gautier and de
Maupassant, perhaps the
greatest three, freely ac-
knowledge their debt to
the American. Until he
wrote his world famous
tales, there was no short
story in Art. He was the
creator and he has never
been surpassed. His powers
of deduction, his keen analy-
sis, his elucidation of mys-
terry, SAVIOR of the marvel
lous. He was uniquein that
the gift of poetry, which is
purely inspirational, was
joined with a mathematical
mind. Logic and improvisa-
ton do not usually dwell to-
gether; but the brain of Poe
seemed to compass them
both.
Poe's life was a tragedy.
Endowed with transcendant
powers, he was yet compel
led to earn his daily bread
