These drives that got to be so
fashionable during the war, still
continue, and they come pretty
close together, 1t has got to be so
now that when church organiza'
lion or any educational, charitable
or eleemosynary institution of any
kind takes n notion to expand or
engage ia some big undertaking re-
curing q large amount ~ef money,
drive" is arranged and the State
or the nation, as the case may be,
is divided into districts or zones"
and assessed so much per. And
then each town, city or zone is
expected to get busy and raise its
quota of the money. The trouble
about these drives is that the
same people are hit by them all,
and few Of the more liberal and
puhlic-spirited people Of each com.
munity, comparatively speaking,
have to do all the giving. Really
these drives" are getting to be
rather monotonous. Albany Her

A desperate effort has been made
during the last three weeks to adj
vance the price Of cotton, 1t is Il
trick Of those who want cheap cot
ton, to advance the price about
planting time. The trick has been
used so often that it can now de-
ceive no one. Efforts to advance
the price Of cotton while determined
have failed, and this fact of itself
should be sufficient warning to
farmers not to be misled.. When
those who want cheap cotton and
who ordinarily control the price OF
cotton cannot advance the price for
purpose, ii is not likely that the
farmer will be able to advance it.

The prospective carry-over OF
cotton at July 3lst, 1921 is now
not lar from 100000 bales
That amount is fully 100000
bales larger than was threatened
before the Christmas holidays, when
the acreage committee predicted
that the carryovet would not be
less than 100000 bales Thus il
is that our fears have not only been
confirmed but the situation is even
worse than we seemed warranted in
predicting a few months ago.

DR.. Fulton To Be At Home
Every Evening.

Contractors are hard at work en-
larging the New Iberia Sanitarium,
on Julia Street, where the ever-grow-
ing practice has made this extension
necessary.
One large ward and five private
rooms are being added, and every
thing being fixed up in the most ap-
proved fashion.
DR.. f. S. Fulton has been placed
in charge of the Southern District of
Louisiana with headquarters in Lafa-
yette, where he has charge of all
Army medical work With this ap-
pointment he is now able to be at
home in New Iberia every evening
and has fixed his Office hours at from
6 P. M. till 8 P. M. During these
two hours he will be available only
for office consultations and surgical
work
DR.. Fulton's announcement of the
new hours will be found on Page
of this issue of The Iberian.
His large number of friends will
all be pleased to learn that he has
his work with the Army so arranged
that he may be at home each night,
as nc is very active in all civic and
fraternal work.

Judge Power after hearing all the
evidence, decided for the pleasure Of
carrying a concealed weapon Jackson
should pay fine of 5000 and costs,

ment on he would have had no furth-

negro, but the fact that he had a
gun in his pocket shows that he
wasn't as "good" as his reputation.

Canal Tax.
Because of the increased values Of
the lands lying along the canal the
assessments have been raised to such
an extent that the amount necessary
to retire the outstanding bonds for
the canal will have been raised by
the close of 1922, while the tax still
runs for number of years longer.
By voting three mill tax for city
improvements, and issuing bonds
against this tax, the remaining canal
bonds might be retired at once, and
the balance of the proceeds from the
new bond issue utilized in City Bridge

tensions, Plant Extensions, and other

amendment to the city charter, it is

self for the benefit of a City Park,
and we suggest that small fraction
OF a mill be set aside for this pur-
pose, from the three mill total tax.
The entire population of New Ibe-
ria gets the benefit of the public
park, and it would be more equitable
if the entire population were required
to pay for these benefits, than that
few dozen of our citizens stand the
entire burden. Outside of lights, wat

1t seems, according to evidence in
troduced in the city court on Monday,
that Mr.. Gabriel Ashy and Mrs. Ashy
were walking toward their home on
Hopkins Street at about seven o'clock
Sunday evening, when they met
Shine and his wife. Mr.. Ashy had
crossed the street just previous to
the meeting, to drive in stray
horse. Mrs. Ashy states that the ne
groes did not want to give her room
to pass, and when she spoke to them
about letting her pass, Shine started
insulting her. At this time Mr.. Ashy
came up, and started to defend his
wife, when Jackson drew revolver
from his pocket and stuck it in
Ashy's face.
Others approached the scene, and
Jackson fled. On being notified of the
affair, the police made a, thorough
search for Jackson, but he was not
to be found.
1t was ascertained Monday morn
ing that he was employed as rail-

er, sewerage and streets; we doubt
II anything can do city so much
good as well established public
park. One half mill tax would cost
the tax payer but fifty cents on a
thousand dollar assessment, which
would not be noticed by any indivi-
dual, but would solve the park prob
lem for all time to come.
Mayor LaSalle informs US that Mr..
Minuet, who made the recent audit
OF the city's books, will be present
at the meeting set for next Monday
afternoon, and will answer any ques-
tions that the members Of the assem-
blage may wish to ask.
The cards will all be placed on the
table face up, everybody will be put
in full possession Of all the facts, and
a heart to heart talk among all the
taxpayers is expected.
Cur financial matters are in
rather unhealthy condition, and an
operation of some kind is necessary.
The Board Of Trustees hope that
every interested citizen will be pres
ent to offer suggestions, and that
some feasible plan may be evolved
to solve the difficulty.

BEGGARS IN AUTOMOBILES.

In some parts of the middle west,
it has been discovered, professional
beggars band together and travel
from town to town in automobiles.
Arriving in town, they store their
machine in a garage, don their rags
and tatters, and then work from house
to house. Having worked their town,
they get their machine and drive on
to the next stop.
The poor we will always have with
us, but it not infrequently happens
that the beggar at the door is rich
er man than the man from whom he
asks aims. 1t is our duty to help the
poor, but it is only common sense to
make sure that beggar is really in
want before shelling out money to
him.

discussion Messrs. Bertrand. Davis,
St. Dizier and DR.. Goodwin were ap-
pointed as a committee to go into
this proposition and report at an ear
ly future meeting. 1t is to be hoped
that their enquiries will discover
universal desire for an Iberia Parish
Fair, and that such an event will be
planned for the Fall of 1922.
A few weeks ago the organization
voted unanimously to confer on Mr..
A. c. Bernard an honorary member
ship, in appreciation for the splendid
work he did for New Iberia in bring
ing to this city the Charles Boldt Pa
per Mill. Mr.. Bernard's letter Of
thanks for this honor was read by
Pres. Estorge at the meeting Tues
day evening.
Mr.. Bernard stated that he appre-
ciates the distinction Of being given
an honorary membership, and that
he stands always ready to do what
ever he can for the advancement Of
New Iberia's interest.
A resolution was drawn up and
adopted, copies of which are to be

ARMISTICE DAY PLANS
NOW COMPLETE.
Big Days Celebration Will
Break ALI Records.

Several among our neighboring
towns are planning celebrations on
Armistice Day, but from all advance
notices being sent out, none will even
remotely approach in interest that to
be staged in New Iberia by the Am
erican Legion.
Of course everybody is planning to
be on hand for the big parade in the
afternoon. The hour has been def
nitely fixed at o'clock, and it is
certain that long before that time
the streets will be lined with specta-
tors waiting to see the patriotic de-
monstration. If you have truck or
automobile the boys urgently invite
you to decorate it and join the pro-
cessiOn.
In response to request by the
committee, all the merchants along
Main Street will have their store
fronts decorated, which will add a
holiday appearance to the affair, and
make things look lively.
The B. P. o. Elks, "Best People
On Earth" have offered the use of
their home to the American Legion
for the day, and of course the ex-
soldiers all appreciate this greatly.
The parade will be headed by the
Chamber of Commerce Band, and
Immediately behind them will come
the National Guard Troop, all attired
in full field equipment, which will be
an interesting sight. Prof Yves Ar
nandez has selected several thrilling
martial airs for his musicians to play
during the afternoon, and the band
concert will be one Of the high class
events on the program.
Immediately after the parade the
crowds will gather on the Court
House Square, where addresses will
be delivered by some % our most

CHAMBER Of COMMERCE STARTS MOVE FOR
PARISH FAIR IN 1922.
Other Matters Of Importance Handled At Last Meeting
OF Or6anization.

At the last Chamber of Commerce
meeting, held on Tuesday evening Of
this week, although nothing was de-
finitely settled, two measures of great
Importance were put under way.
1t has been an idea in the minds Of
several of the members for many
months that an electric sign across
Railroad Avenue, near the Southern
Pacific passenger depot, would do a
great deal of good in advertising New
IBERIA. Hundred s of people pass
through here every day on the num-
erOus trains, just as they pass
through hundreds of other towns on
their journeys, and the only towns
and cities they will remember are
those that make some special appeal
A large electric sign arching across
the street, giving the name of the
city and few well chosen words
about it, should catch the strangers
eye and keep New Iberia in his
memory.
A committee consisting Of Messrs.
c. A. Barnes, Alphonse Davis and
Luke Bertrand were appointed by
Pres. Estorge to look into this mat
ter and get estimates on such sign.
The opinion is growing daily strong
er that iberia Parish should have a
local fair. We have had exceptionally
good fairs here in the past. We can
do the same again.
The idea met with general support
at the Chamber of Commerce meet
ing Tuesday evening, and after much

Friends throughout the city were
srieved Friday afternoon ito learn OF the
death of Mrs. J. n. Lyon, who passed
laway at 8 40 O'clock. Mrs. Lyon suf-
fered a broken collar bone in an auto
mobile accident recently, and III
her feeble health, due to old age, was
unable to survive the shock and reac-
ton. She had been unconscious most
of the time for the past few days, and
when the end came passed quietly away
without regaining consciousness.
Mrs. Lyon was u years of age on
March Is this year, and had been
resident of Hamilton county for 60
years.

her parents to Hamilton county, where
she had since made her home, growing
TO young wOmanhood on the Willis

Benton, who passed away in 1907; Mrs.
H. A. Maxon, Miss Bessie l.. Lyon and

Homer Butler of Blairsburg.
As an early pioneer, Mrs. Lyon had
watched the growth and progress OF
Webster City and the surrounding coun-
try from frontier days, and lived
through the trying days of two wars.
During the Civil war she went about
gathering together supplies for the sol
diers and doing everything possible
to assist the country On horseback

papers which would give her news of
the battles, and in the late world war,
she constantly followed with interest
