FORD SALES SHOW RAPID
INCREASE.
Rush of Orders Boosts April Output
to 101 ,l64.

Ford retail sales showed a rapid
increase in volume during March,
says a report from the Ford Motor
Company, of Detroit, and have neces-
STATED the building Of 101,164 Ford
cars and trucks in April in order to
meet the requirements.
This is the largest output Of Ford
cars ever scheduled for April, being
10000 above the same month of a
year ago. 1t also marks an early
opening of the spring and summer
buying and seems to indicate that
even more Ford cars and trucks will
be sold in 1922 than in 1921, which
was banner year.
Orders for Ford cars and trucks
have already exceeded the supply in
many parts of the country and pur-
chasers are finding it necessary to
accept deferred delivery. The Ford
factory at Detroit is getting into
capacity production as fast as possi-
BILE, with the hope Of preventing a
similar shortage when the spring
summer rush begins.
Ford dealers throughout the Unit
ed States are urging Ford customers
to place their orders early and thus
prevent the possibility Of having to

COLLEGE TEAM WINS
AND LOSES.
Great Crowd Attends
Opening Game.

The local baseball season opened
this week with two games ON st.
Peters College diamond, that result
ed in victory and a defeat fer the
College boys.
Sunday afternoon record crowd
assembled to see the College defeat
the crack nine from Avery Island to
the score of i to 0
1t was good game for an OPEN
er, and showed that when mid-sea-
son form is developed, the boys will
be in position to give the fans some
fine exhibitions OF the National Pas
time. With a little more batting
strenet tn the Islanders will give
their College rivals hot contest.
Conrad's pitching held the visitors
helpless throughout the game.
The Sunday crowd overhowed the
new grand stand, which easily seats
400 people.
The gentlemen who had charge of
grading and laying out the new field
and erecting the grand stand are to
be congratulated on their excellent
work.
On Monday the Loreauvile town
team visited the College nine, and
were easy victors over st. Peters,
winning by II to score. Sid
Gonsoulin, on the mound for Loreau-
Vile had the Collegians at his mercy
at every stage of the game, while
his team piled up the hits and runs
freely Bad weather slowed down the
game, and reduced the crowd consid-

TWO NEW RESIDENCES.

Rumors to the effect that Mr.
Laurence Schwabacher, of the Sou
thern Egg Case Filler Company,
would erect a swell home in New
Iberia, are now proved correct. This
week MIR. Schwabacher acquired the
elegant site on East Main, just OPP
posite, and facing, the beautiful Zin-
norman bungalow. The lot measures
100 feet on Main, by over 200 feet
deep, the consideration being $l,100.
Plans are now under way for the
erection of modern residence which
will be the future home of our pro-
gressive new citizen.
Mr.. Rufus Marin this week pur-
chased the corner now occupied BY
him as a grocery sore, opposite Mt
Carmel Convent. We understand that
he will remodel the store, and later
on erect a nice home there also. Mr..
r. A. Jacob handled this deal, as
well as the Schawabacher purchase.

ANNUAL FIELD DAY AT DEM
ONSTRATION FARM.

The Annual Field Day at the Ex-
pertinent Farm took place Thursday,
and was by far the most successful
ever staged since the location of the
farm in our parish.
One interesting feature was the
interest shown by the hundreds of
Pig Club boys and girls from our
public schools. They absorbed the
valuable lessons in swine breeding
with much enthusiasm.
We have not been able to get a
report on the number Of visitors to
the Farm on this occasion, but we
know that it ran into many humid
reds.
This great interest will no doubt
have much influence on the Federal
officials in deciding them to leave the
Farm here permanently.
