ORILLER BRINGS IN
FINE WATER WELL.
Million And A Half Gallon
Well AT City Plant.

Judging from present indication:
the water question in New Iberi;
has been settled for several years t.
come. The new well, started abou
two weeks ago by Mr.. Moresi O
Jeanerette, was completed Tuesda!
evening.
! At practically the same depth a
the Boldt Paper Mills new well, I
| strong vein of water was penetrated
by the driller, and drilling was stop
ped. The engineers at the plant Ia
| bored on until nearly ten o'cloct
| Tuesday night getting every thing
in readiness. Then the pump was
started in the we'll, and the pipe lirt
from the Bayou Teche was shut off
let us hope, for ever.
The water was found at a level OF
| about two hundred fifty feet below
the surface, and is now running at
the rate of approximately one thou
sand gallons per minute, sixty thou
sand an hour, or nearly one and a
half million gallons every twenty
four hours.
The output is clear as crystal, and
to all appearances practically free
from any impurities. However, it is
very hard, and lime will have to be
used in the publication apparatus to
render it more suitable for bath and
laundry purposes. For drinking and
cooking it will be ideal.
During the past several months
three pumps have been required to
furnish the necessary water from
the old wells and the bayou, but
Thursday morning when we inspected
it a full stream was being raised,
thousand gallons a minute, by the
use of one air compressor pump,
maintaining about twenty five pounds
Of air pressure.
This new we'll will work greatly
toward reducing the cost of opera
ton Of the water plant, cutting the
cost of pumping and practically eli
the necessity for using ex-
pensive chemicals for publication
purposes.
AS soon as the new water has
been in use long enough to clean out
+ hn
has been received from the State
Board of Health, the public will be
again encouraged to use the city
water for drinking purposes.
Commissioner Villermin has sent
a sample Of the water to New Or
leans to be tested and expects to get
a return from DR.. Bowling within a
few days.

ST. PETERS COLLEGE VS..
BREAUX BRIDGE.

The local fans of the game Of
basketball will be interested to learr
that the season opens in New Iberia
this Sunday, November 18th, wher
the St. Peters College team will
take on the Breaux Bridge five fol
the initial contest of the 1922 sea-
son.
The College boys have always
turned out winning team of bas-
ket tossers, and the present line ur
is strong and promises a long series
of victories for the loyal rooters en-
tertainment.
The game Sunday will start at
2:30 and a large crowd will be on
hand to cheer the home boys to vic
tory.
The admission has been lowered to

GARAGE AND SERVICE STATION
GREATLY IMPROVED.

Work is now practically completed
on the improvements being made by
Mr.. Joe Davis on his Automobile
Garage and Service Station, at 235
West Main Street.
Two large plate glass show win
dows, and double glass doors have
been installed, and a handsome stuc-
co front put across the entire build
ing. By lowering the awning about
three feet much more attractive
effect was obtained, and altogether
the alterations have added greatly
to the appearance of the place.
With his occupancy of this loca-
ton, and vast in provements to both
residence and business building, and
beautifying of the large front lawn.
perhaps no place in New iberia has
been so improved during the past
year.
1t will be remembered that Mrs.
Davis won one of the prizes given
this past summer by the Women's
Council for best yard display of
flowers.
Joe says he is now handling gen.
uine Ford parts, and is going after
the business.

Orleans, your Association has decid.
ed to maintain a rice kitchen on rice
carnival day and also the two sue
ceedlng days in order to demonstrate
TO rice farmers generally that this
probably is the best way to adver.
tise rice, particularly throughout the
north. We expect to demonstrate the
most palatable way in which rice
can be prepared for food and also at
the same time demonstrate that rice
| is the cheapest food that can be
used by the laboring man. The Loui-
siana Farm Bureau Rice Growers
Cooperative Association is assisting
and cooperating in every way with
the American Rice Growers Associa-
ton to make this kitchen a sue
| cess.
Owing to several inquiries recent
ly as to the exact wording of the
tariff on rice, we quote from the
Tariff Act Of 1922, H. R. 1856, para
SIdpH ~ dS IOllOWS:
paddy or rough rice, / cent per
pound; brown rice (hulls removed) !,
IA cents per pound; milled rice
(bran removed), 2 cents per pound:
broken rice, and rice meal, flour, pol
ish, and bran one-half of l cent per
pound"
Your Association has received
samples of some four thousand bags
of Early Blue Rose seed rice, rails
cd by members of the Association.
This rice natures nearly two weeks
earlier than Standard Blue Rose and
can be purchased at $500 a barrel.
Any one interested can procure sam
pies by addressing the American
Rice Growers Association, Lake

NEAR STAN MPEDE AT
ELKS THEATRE,
ThOu8htless Act Starts
Rush For Exits.

Wednesday night the carelessness OF
some young fellow, and the thought
lessness of crowd caused what
might have been bad stampede in
the local movie house.
A crowd of over 400 had gathered
to see Rudolph Valentino in Blood
and Sand" Some boy outside at "a
window lighted red "fare" which
flashed bright light into the dark
ened theatre. Some excitable person
yelled Fire" and the crowd broke
for the exits.
Fortunately the crowd was not
large enough to cause a bad jam or
several persons might have been
crushed in the rush for safety.
When they noticed that the pic.
ture was still proceeding as usual,
and with the aid of several less ex-
citable people, the crowd was quiet
ed down, and returned to their seats.
No one was injured.
Even had there been a fire, there
is plenty OF tine TO empty house
like the Elks Theatre, even when
crowded to it's capacity-if the crowd
only keeps cool and files out in quiet
orderly manner
Rushing and jamming invariably
results badly. Cool readiness will
handle the worst situation of this
kind without injury to anybody.

Hauser, near the upper city limits
The blaze was started, we under

heater, and it had such a good start
when the fire fighters arrived that
they were unable to save the build
ing. Practically none Of the furni-
ture was saved. Mr.. Herman Hauser.
Jr., was considerably burned on his
hands and arms, and his face slight
ly scorched, in trying to carry out
the blazing oil heater when the fire
first started.
We understand that the property
was only partially protected by in

TO THE MEMBERS, THE AMERI-
CAN RICE COVERS ASSN.
Gort1ep,an .

Gentlemen:
Your Association has sold, up to
ana including October 28th, 1922
478,215 sacks of rice. The sales of
rice up to the same date last sea-
son, October 2Sth, 1921, were 1885,
576 sacks.
The market, during the past week,
has been active with little fuctuation
IN price. There has been slight adj
vance in price in Texas, where we
! have received up to $3.50 for Num-
bers 1 and 2 Blue Rose rice.
From numerous reports received
from the Association Agents, the
yield of rice per acre is falling
down in almost every section of the
rice belt, therefore it is possible that
the total amount of rice raised in
the United States may be less than
indicated in the reports of August
and September 1st If this should
prove true, there will be less rice
for sale and prices, particularly for
sound rice, should improve, and your
Association again strongly srecom-
rlends that Numbers l and 2 Blue
Rose rice should sell for in excess
of $3.50 a barrel.
The clean rice market continues
cfrOnu and aotivo with no dool;,o ~
price and export market is showing
signs of getting stronger.
The annual rice carnival will be
held in Lake Charles on Thursday,
November 10th. All Of our members

opinion and gave the merchants
words OF encouragement for better
business. especially during the next
Sixty days. after which business
would hold It's own. and by fall con-
ditions would begin to return TO nor
malcy.
Mr.. Johnson took occasion TO re-
buke the State Legislature by saying
IL had accomplished nothing, and that
the depression throughout the coun-
try was due to nothing moro than In
competent mon being sent to the Leg
iSlaturcs and that tho Legislature
wns school for men who aspired
to Congress and who had shown their
incOmpctency in Office in Washing
ton.
The present Legislature" said Mr.
Johnson. was nothing more than Il
school. from which come the men who
sorvo In Congress-" and for this reH-
son, he can understand the low cbh
OF incompctcncy. now prevailing in
the national government.

Another great cause OF the dcpreg-
sion. said MIR. Johnson. was due to
high taxes and high freight rates.
The reason for high taxes is due to

were politicians in Washington who
appealed 10 the passions Of the PEG
PIE rather than to the standard OF
right.
During the course of his remarks
