WO MEMS COUNCIL
GETS REST ROOM.
Leblanc & BrouSSard Lend
Cooperation.

Through the generous cooperation
of one of New Iberias progressive
concerns, the efforts of the Womens
Council for a Ladies Rest Room are
about to be realized.
1t will be remembered that ever
since the first organization Of the
Women's Council one of the prime
needs Of the community has been
considered to be a rest room, and the
public spirited ladies have tried every
means of obtaining one.
For nearly a year one obstacle or
another has blocked their efforts
However, it came to their attention
recently that the firm of Leblanc q
Broussard, local Ford dealers, had
provided an ideal ladies rest room
when they remodeled their building
a few months ago
A committee consisting of Mrs. A.
B. Murray. Mrs. DR.. Shaw and Mrs,
r. W. Frame, was appointed to call
on Messrs. Leblanc & Broussard and
see if they would be willing to turn
their room over to the Women's
Council
Accordingly, these ladies went, and
met with the greatest encouragement.
They inspected the apartments, and
found there everything that could
possibly be desired for such a pur-
pose. A comfortable reception room,
neatly furnished with dressing table,
chairs, mirrors, and everything that
appeals to the feminine heart. Ad-
joining this they found modern toi-
let, with lavatory, and all other ap-
Everything is beauti-
fully arranged, and sanitation iss car
ried out on the most modern and ap-
proved plans.
The gentlemen appeared to be only
too pleased to be of service to the
ladies of the town and parish, and
gladly offered to turn their rooms ov-
er to the management of the Wo-
mems Council.
This is an ideal arrangement. as
there will always be ladies present in
,he office to welcome visitors to the
rooms and make them feel at home
When the committee reported their
success to the Council plans were at
'nce started for taking charge
Tea and Reception.
Shortly after Lent the Opening
Day will be staged, and the new rest
'ooms formally opened with big
ea and reception to which all the
aides of the town and parish will be
invited
Thus this much needed and long
Wished for adjunct to our city's com
nercial convenience has been granted.
While the ladies of the Council are
0 be congratulated on their final sue
ess, our citizens must not lose sight
f the public spiritedness of Messrs
leblanc e. Broussard, through whose
cooperation the achievement was
made possible

ishes not having agents the parish
school officials have promised then
assistance in attending to the prope,
functioning of the project in then
respective parishes.
While these parishes are not espe-
cially adapted or qualified for the
special purpose of pork production
they offer the best transportation fa-
cilities for routing this special ship
ment All of the railroads have
promised their cooperation and assist
ance in this undertaking, by exerting
special efforts, and giving extra at
tention to see that cars move on
schedule time.
Lesson in Marketing
The object of this undertaking is
to demonstrate to the farmers of this
state that there are accessible mar
kets for farm products other than
cane, cotton and rice. Also to let the
club members enjoy the privileges of
the responsibility of ownership; to
call to their attention the necessity
of quality in production; to offer
them an opportunity to learn the
principles of marketing their live
stock through actual experience, and
to teach them the value of coopera-
tive shipping.
These hogs will be sold and a re-
turn made to every boy and girl hay
ing a hog in this shipment. The in
surance of individual hogs in transit
of this distance varies from nine to
twelve cents head. The Depart
ment will see to it that insurance is
carried so as to absolutely assure ev-
cry boy and girl a return. The re-
turns to each individual will be ac-
with the usual statement
rendered to shippers of livestock.
Here is the Plan
The boys and girls 'consenting to
carry on their part of the project will
be organized into small units which
will be known as "Half "a ton-of-
pork units" or, in other words, into a
group that will consign hogs, which
will collectively weigh 1000 pounds
For instance, say that in one com
munity there are ten pig club mem
bers, and each member expresses al
1esire to consign hog weighing 200l
pounds at the loading station on the
specified date of shipment. They will
constitute two units and be organized
nto such Should some of the mem
oers be willing to grow and care forI
more than one hog, the units would
oe organized accordingly.
In some cases member may de- |
sire to handle a "half-a- ton pork"
n which case the individual member
would be unit to himself. When the
logs are delivered at the loading sta
ion, representative Of this Depart
nent will help to grade and weigh
he hogs, and receipt will be turned
ver to the member.
To limited number of the mem
ers doing the best work in the state
nd showing good returns, prizes
will be offered in the form of a free
rip to the international Fat Stock
'how in Chicago during the month

ing of this body to be held in Rustor
March 21st
Advices received here by Arthur

and Manager of the Pershin Way
will come to Louisiana especially for
the meeting at Ruston and will bring

Reports received from all parts of
Louisiana show splendid work done
during the past year toward the COM
pletion Of the highway. Bond issues
aggregating more than Four Millions
of Dollars were authorized through
the efforts of Pershing Way organi-

Way activities. Reports on all of the
activities of the Pershing Way during
the past year will be heard at the
convention and plans will be made to
continue and broaden these activities
during the coming year.
One feature of the convention will
be the presence of a number of the
most prominent women in Louisiana,
who are intensely interested in the
Pershing Way and have demonstrated
this interest by doing yeoman's work
for it Location of camping sites,
the Identification Of the highway and
the construction of the road links are
on which womens clubs and
as we'll as individuals,
have done splendid work in the past
and they now promise still more work
along this line.
Louisiana has received much Ma
tional advertising from her location
on the Pershing Way and will receive
tremendous benefits from tourist
travel when the highway is completed
This is the goal before the State
Pershing Way Association and will
be the subject of the convention in
Ruston
