C. Of C. TRANSACTED MUCH IMPORTANT BUSI-
NESS TUESDAY NIGHT.
New Industry Is Secured When Head of Biz Ohio
Concern Comes Here.

There was a most interesting
meeting held by the Board of Direc
tors of New Iberia's Chamber OF
Commerce on Tuesday evening ol
this week.
| The first matter of importance
was final action on the matter of er-
Getting the big electric sign at the
Southern Pacific depot
This sign was purchased severa
weeks ago by the Chamber, and has
been here waiting for final permis-
sion from the railroad authoritie.
for its erection in the location chos-
en- by the Board. It seems that the
railroad people have some objections
to the sign being put in the little
park between the freight and pass
enger depots, but that is the only
place suitable to the Chamber. Sew
eral letters have been exchanged be-
tween the President of the local
body and the Southern Pacific off
cials, final action being always post-
poned by the latter.
The Board authorized President
Estorge to write Mr.. Glover of the S.
?. that no further delay by his office
will be stood for and that unless
permission to erect the sign as desir-
ed by New Iberia's people is granted
at once, the matter will be taken out
of Mr.. Glover's hands into a higher
office. 1t is quite certain that he will
come across when he sees that his
monkey business" has run its full
course
Mr.. N. Jennaro, Secretary of the
New iberia Fire Company No. /,
came before the Board and stated
some rather disconcerting facts con-
cerning the lack of necessary fire
fighting apparatus, and the general
condition of that department of our
City's business.
After quite lengthy discussion,
it was decided that immediate action
is necessary to remedy the defcien-
cies, and President Estorge was au-
thorized to call special meeting o.
the Board, for Wednesday evening,
also requesting the City Commission
ers to be present, in order that no
further delay be experienced in bring
ing our fire protection up to what it
should be for city of this size.

IBERIA FARM LOAN ASSOCIATION ELECTS
OFFICERS FOR THE YEAR.

Probably few Of our readers real
ize the great extent of the work be-
ing done by the Iberia National Farm
Loan Association in financing our
farmers through their period of
stringency.
This association held its first an
nual meeting on Saturday, January
21st, in the Chamber of Commerce
headquarters.
The principal business transacted
at this meeting was the election of
officers for the ensuing year. The
Board of Directors chosen consists of
A. A. Theriot, Sidney Hebert, John
Eldridge, Albin Segura and Filias
Romero.
Mr.. A. A. Theriot was elected Pres
ident; Mr.. Sidney Hebert, Vice-pres-
ident; Mr.. r. V. St. Dizier, Secretary
Treasurer, and Mr.. Albin Segura,
Assistant Secretary Treasurer.
The Loan Committee chosen con-
sists of Messrs. Theriot, Romero,
Segura and Eldridge.
This organization has already loan
ed to twenty eight farmers since
starting business, the total loans a.
mounting to $4,000. This amount
has already been turned over to the
borrowers, and is working for the
improvement of this community.
Besides this large amount, $4,000

FRANK TEA AND SPICE
co. LOCATE.
Large Acreage Will Be Con-
tracted In Pepper.

In another column we mention
that Mr.. Frank was present at the
meeting Tuesday night of the Cham
Der of Commerce Board, and that ne
spoke of locating a pepper handling
plant here for the coming summer if
suitable warehouse could be found,
Later information is to the effect
that Mr.. Frank was successful in
finding just what he wanted, he hay
ing decided on the large sale stable
of Mr.. Pearson, at the corner of JEFF
ferson Street and the Southern Pa
cifc tracks This building will be re
modelled into warehouse and dry
ing plant, where peppers will be re-
ceived and prepared for shipment to
the great Frank Tea and Spice Com
pany in Cincinnati, Ohio.
Something over two hundred and
fifty acres of peppers will be con-
tracted for by this concern, the con-
tracing of acreage being in the hands
of Mr.. Estilette, who lives in the
Steckler neighborhood, in the Fourth
Ward of this parish.
We understand that the contracts
will be divided between tabasco and
Sport peppers, Mr.. Frank stating
that the Sport peppers grown in this
section of Louisiana are the very best
in the world and are in great de
mand.
The profits from growing peppers
is very great to the farmer, and the
sale of two hundred and fifty acres
for cash money will be a big thing
for New Iberia
Mr.. Frank further informed us that
after this first season, if Everything
works out as he expects, he will in
stall machinery for grinding the pep
pers here, and also a bottling plant,
this shipping point for the
Frank products to all western ter
ritory. This will also mean quite a
nice little pay roll for our town.

in loans have been approved by the
Federal Land Bank, and within the
next thirty days will be turned over
to the sixteen farmers applying fol-
same. Still six more applications
have been filed and passed on by the
appraiser, amounting to $4,000
which will be available very soon.
When the fact is considered, that
the local association was only chart
cred on the first Of last October, it
can be seen that wonderful results
have been obtained. Before receiving
their charter the local men assisted
several farmers, in securing loans
through the neighboring associations
in Lafayette, Jeanerette and Center
vile.
The Secretary, Mr.. St. Dizier, wish
es us to inform the public that any
farmer interested in borrowing
money on his farm property through
this association has only to call at
the Chamber Of Commerce Office, in
New Iberia, where all necessary de-
tails will be explained and assistance
given.
AS Mr.. St. Dizier is busy with his
farm work during most of the week,
and is only certain to be in his of
fee on Saturdays, he suggests that
Saturday be chosen as the day to
call at his Office on Farm Loan bust

M little discussion has been going

how it happens that all Of the three

their time to select the clothing

taken to try on and select with care.
Too much blame should not be put
upon the police, however, as it is not
such an easy job to catch burglars
n their act, as they are an unac-
,ommodating set of men, and seldom
like the trouble to look up the police
o6cers and tell them just when and
where they intend to operate. They
also, often take mean advantage of
the police, and when the officers get
cold and 60 in some place to warm
up and spend a cozy hour or two by
The stove, these inconsiderate rascals
take advantage of their absence from
the job to turn their nefarious
tricks. So don't blame the police too
much.

Old Man Low Pressure, the pessi-

else, was victor in the battle of the
elements today, but latest reports
said that Old Man High Pressure

would drive the gloom producer out
of North Dakota tomorrow.
Rain which turned to snow was the
contribution of Old Man Low Press
ure today. He was in control over
the entire Plains states. There was
snow in Lander, Miles City and
Williston, and cloudy or rainy wea-
ther at many other places early this
morning. The snow hadn't reached
Fargo early in the day but was ex-
pected to arrive.
The thermometer sank to 33 above
in Bismarck and .13 inches of rain
had fallen up to o'clock this morn
ing. The cheering news was brought
that an area of high pressure was
following from the west, which
brought predictions for probably
colder weather and fair tomorrow.
There is an extreme low pressure
lurking in western Canada, but there
is no telling if it will follow the
high pressure area.

MET HER IN CHICAGO
(By the Associated Press)

Chicago, Oct. 30.-Supporting the
doubt expressed BY Mrs. Joseph H
Pyle that her daughter, Mrs. Mar:
garet Carleton, killed the Rev. Leon.
ard Jacob Christler at Havre, Mont.
and then committed suicide, c. E
Booth, one Of the officials of the
Mutual. .Elwell Chautauqua Bureau
by whom Mrs. Carleton was employ
ed, today made public letter writ
ten by Mrs. Carleton last Thursday
the day before the tragedy, and
received in Chicago Saturday.
The letter speaks of her lyceum
work and her plans for her little
daughter, and contained promise to
call on Mr.. Booth when she returned
to Chicago.
In expressing the opinion that
Mrs. Carleton did not murder
Christler nor kill herself, Mr.. Booth
said the letter gave no evidence of
mental arrangement which a coro-
ner's jury in secret session decided
caused Mrs. Carleton to shoot the
pastor and take her own life. He ex-
pressed amazement at the verdict.
Mr.. Booth told of two occasions
when Mrs. Carleton and the Rev
Christler were in Chicago and spent
much time in each others company.
The last time was little less than
six weeks ago, he said.

COOPERATION
IN CAR LACK
IS PROMISED
Interstate Commerce Commits
sion Will Work with State
Commission, Simon Says
POINT OUT SERIOUSNESS
Stress Laid on Urgent Need
Of Cars to Interstate
. Commerce Commission

Cooperation with the state rail-
road: commission was promised by
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion. Charles Simon, assistant az
torney-general, said today on his
return from Washington where he
and Chairman Milhollan OF the
state railroad commission took up
the matter of obtaining authority
for the state commission over car
distribution in the state.
A representative OF the Interstate
Commerce Commission, stationed
in St. Paul, will come to North Da-
kota this week to go over the whole
matter, she added.
The general order Of the Inter-
state Commerce Commission to
eastern railroads to send empty
cars west for use in marketing the
Northwest grain crop is expected
to bring cars, Mr.. Simon said.
While the Interstate Commerce
Commission did not wish to relin-
quish authority over the movement
of cars within the state to the state
commission a pledge Of cooperation
was made, Mr., Simon said, adding
that he expected after the visit of
a representative of the commission
to North Dakota the state commits
sion would be made an agent Of the
interstate body.
Strong representation was made
to the Interstate Commerce Com
mission of the seriousness of the
shortage in North Dakota, the as
sistant attonney-general said. 1t
was pointed out, he said, that many
farmers have been forced to thresh
wheat out on the ground and that
bad weather would result in heavy
loss. The snow and rain of today
will cause material damage, he
said.
Stopping off in the Twin Cites
on his return to discuss the situa-
ton, Mr.. Simon said he found
heads of Northwest railroads much
concerned over the car lack and
frantically making efforts to obtain
return of their own cars. Normally
at this time of the year, he said,
the Northern Pacific would have
1926 per cent of it's own number OF
cars while at this time it has but 65
per cent.
Mr.. Milhollan will return to-
night

An increase in deposits of $5,455,.

kota banks between June 30 and Sep.
tember Is, it is shown by the ab-
stract of reports of banks issued By
the state examiner, based on the
call of September Is, 1922. The alb.
stract also shows that the total re-
serve required of state banks was
exceeded on September IS by $3,-
891 ,557.33.
Reports received by the state &C.
partment since September 15 show a
big liquidation in many parts Of the
state which are not reflected in the
fall, since the fall grain had not
moved in any great quantity prior
to September Is. Although marketing
of grain has been retarded by the
car shortage and there still is much
grain to be threshed, reports, to the
department show continued in-
provement in the banking situation.

dition of the state banks, based up
