The oil tcome of the franchise pro-

certain but when the cars were in the
barns there was very general de-
mand, it is said, fc the return of car
service. Business men particularly

patiently done their shopping on foot

Under the proposed Des Moines

on common stock so long as the cash
fare is in excess OF 7 cents. Beginning
at cents, a dividend of 8 per cent
will be paid on common stock, and
as the fares go down dividends will
increase until common stock will be
permitted to pay per cent whenever
the fare reaches cents.
Provision is made for rates to go
either higher than cents or lower
than cents whenever conditions per-

dividends on outstanding securities
and notcs except common stock IS
guaranteed. No readjustment Of fares
will take place until these obligations
have been cared for.
One feature of the proposed fran
chise contemplates the regulation Of
BUSES. This provides that immedi-

cancel all licenses issued for opera

any stre on which there is operated
a street car line; provided that motor
buses may be licensed to cross such
streets at right anglesTan may travel

chase the entire system on'six months

JEFFERSON ISLAND NOW ONE OF The MOST
INTERESTING SPOTS IN THE SOUTH.
Great Industries of Historic Place Present Wonder
full View To Visitor

| Very few Iberians, except thos,
who have made the trip themselves
can even family imagine the wonder
ful development work that is bein.
carried on out at jefferson Islan,
under its new owners and manage
ment.
Through the courtesy Of Mr.. J. l
Jagot, local manager for Armour (
Company, the editor Of the Iberiar
took a trip out to the Island on We'd
nesday of this week, and though W,
had been told all about the great
mine and other improvements there
we found that the reality far exceed.
the descriptions given US
On entering the plantation sur.
rounding the old Jefferson Home, the
first thing to catch our eye was thC
excellent condition of the large plan
tation from an agricultural stand
/ point. Everything is in such tip tor
order, that our curiosity was aroused
as to just who deserved the credit
for it. Then we were introduced to
Mr. Fletcher. anager of the agricul-
tural interests for the company. And
we had our answer. Mr.. Fletcher is a
great big man, both physically, men,
tally and in experience and ability.
And it is through his efforts that
the general appearance of efficiency,
thrift and good management strikes
the eye of the stranger.
Probably the most beautiful spot
in the parish of Iberia, or any other
parish for that matter, is the old
Jefferson Home and it's immediate
surroundings.
The home, setting on top of hill
is surrounded by beautiful trees, and
since the house has been recently
painted, solid white, it presents a
most pleasing sight to the visitor ap-
preaching the spot.
Right back of the home, on the
edge of the lake stands the mill
building, with the great salt mine
underneath. This building and the
mine shaft itself were both planned
and executed by Mr.. Tibbets, General
Superintendent of the Island indus
tries.
The plans for running the mine
and mill are somewhat different from
the ordinary, in that much of the
machinery is placed deep down in the
bowels of the earth. The crushers
that break up the great Jumps of
crystal salt are placed just eight
hundred and twenty feet below the
surface. Below this is placed the bin
into which the pulverized salt falls
automatically into the buckets that
lift it nine hundred feet to the sur
face, and then on up over hundred

Was Once LiveSt Order In
New Iberia.

What was at one time one OF New
lbesia's leading Frale~7al organ..'a-
tions, but has been for several years
dead, was re-awakened into life this
week
About ten years ago the Improved
Order Of Redmen enjoyed a front
place among our secret societies, with
membership of wei. over hundred
men, and was probably the most ac-
tive of all. Then for some reason in
terest slackened, and finally the
| Charter was surrounded.
DR.. H. J. Feltus, Past Great Sach-
EN- of Louisiana, and Mr.. T. E.
Bourgeois, Past Sachem, both men,
bers of the State Board of Organi-
zers of the Redmen, were in New Ibe-
ria Thursday and reinstated the
Teche Tribe, with membership to
start with of fifteen men. A meet
ing was held Thursday noon in Fred
eric Hotel, at which officers for 1922
were elected and installed, including:
R. w Frame, Sachem; Emile Vuil-
lemot, Prophet; Geo. Riviere, Jr =,
Senior Sycamore; George Doerle,
Junior Sycamore; Julius Maier,
Chief of Records; E. G. Landry,
Keeper of Wampum; DR.. Emmer,
Clet Girard and Spencer Pollard,
Trustees. The other Charter members
are S. o. Nuckolls, T. w. Ashley,
John Holbrook, Nathan Davis, DR..
J. W. Sanders and Supt. Lloyd G.
Porter.
This is one of the oldest and most
honorable American Orders.
Dating back to early Revolutionary
days, when the Redmen took the
leading part in winning independence
for the Thirteen Colonies from Great
Britain. All but one of the presid-
ents of the United States have been
Redmen, as have most of the U. S.
Senators, Governors, and other high
officials. The Order has a wonderful
history, and more wonderful secret
work, installed with beautiful cere-
monies, and any young man should be
proud to become a member of it.
Several new members are expected
to be taken in within few weeks,
when State Degree team will come
over and do the initiation work.

We wish to again thank all contri-
butors for the splendid amount dona-
ted to us this year for our work.
Our expense for the kiddies and
Christmas dinners while large, this
year did not, of course, take this
sum. We have been trying for the
past three years, to get a surplus
fund, in case of epidemic, so that the
funds would be on hand for quick
use, but each year, whatever is over
must be transferred to our regular
fund during the months of July or
August.
Most of our last years surplus
was used for several cases of sick
ness. One case of typhoid using a
good sum to take care of the patient
who was the support Of family Of
six or seven children, and supply this
family with necessities G-1ring the
illness of the bread winner.
