APPROVED; MANDATE
IS ASKED FOR SCHEME

RAMBOUILLET, France, Aug. 16.
The French cabinet today unani-
mously approved of the German repa-
rations policy of Premier Poincare
and congratulated him on the stand
he took at the London conference OF
allied premiers.
This action was taken after M
Poincare had given an exposition OF
the unsuccessful negotiations in Lon
don. The premier desires that par
lament be convened to give the MIN
istry a vote of confidence. This would
be taken as q mandate to execute the
plan which Minister of Finance De
Lasteyrie is bringing before the coun-
Gil.
The plan. which is reported to have
been prepared in case the reparations
commissions decision on the mora
torium question pronounces Germany
in willful default of her payments,
deals with measures to be taken in Al
sace-Lorraine and the French occupied
territory of the Rhineland. 1t is under
stood no military measures have been
contemplated thus far.
When the ministers alighted at the
Rambouillet station the crowd gave
cheers for England as well as for
France, although there were some
cries of Down with Lloyd George"
An official communique, issued after
the morning meeting, said the premier
made complete exposition of the Lon
( don negotiations and the reason why il
! was found impossible to reach ar
agreement The cabinet, said the com
munique, was unanimous in approving
| of his attitude and declared itself en-
tirely with him in his views Of the
reparations situation.

IBERIAN GETS PATENT ON IN
VENTION.

Mr.. Walter E. Fisher, engineer at
the New iberia Ice Factory, has just
received letter from his Patent
Attorneys at Washington, D. c., no
tifying him that his application has
been allowed by the Federal Govern
ment on an Oil Burner Apparatus
invented by him. The allowance was
made on December 20th..
This invention is an automatically
controlled oil burner, operated by
steam pressure, and is the only one
of it's kind in existence. 1t is very
ingeniously constructed apparatus,
and will fill long felt need in oil
burning plants of America. From
tests made it can be set to keep
steam pressure at any desired gauge,
and without further attention will
maintain that pressure indefinitely.
Mr.. Fisher has secured local fin
ancial backing, and is now making
plans to place his product on the
market in the near future.

IBERIA HIkfR GETS TO
CALIFORNIA.
Passed Through This City
Few Weeks Ado.

This article was clipped from The
Santa Maria Daily Times, published
in Santa Maria, California, and dat
ed Saturday, December 16, 1922.
Cross country hikers are common
these days, in fact few weeks pass
by without some pedestrian makes
his way along the coast highway as
the result of wager with some
friend or an organization.
A very unusual member of the
hikers' fraternity made brief visit
in Santa Maria this morning This;
man, A. L. Vuillemot, left Washing
ton, d. c., September 12, 1922, on a
$4,000 wager to walk from the ma
TONS capitol to the coast and return
by June /, 1923, handicapped with
handouts about his wrists and
chained to wheel barrow. He has
been forced to push this one-wheel
vehicle every foot of the way of his
long journey and arrived in this city
at $3.50 this morning with happy
smile upon his face and bloom of
health upon his cheeks.
When he left Washington in Sept
ember he weighed 1913 pounds and
was considered a consumptive. Today
he weighs 156 pounds and looking
forward to a Christmas dinner in
San Francisco.
Local interest in the hiker is
created by the fact that he halls
from the home town of well known
Santa Marian, J. M. Davis. NV.
Davis recognized Vuillemot this
morning pushing his wheel barrow.
The hiker was invited into the Davis
auditors Office on South Broadway
and their boyhood days in New Ibe
ria, La, were discussed for a brief
time. Mr.. Davis vouches for the
identity of the man and the recon-
carried prove beyond all
doubt that the hiker is carrying out
the agreement as arranged in Wash
ington. Senator Jos. E. Ransdell, of
is the first name to ap-
pear in the book containing over
5000 signatures of various people
met by Vuillemot on his journey.
The hiker is accompanied by
young man who was sent to see the
of the agreement were
carried out. Vuillemot started his
journey without cent Of money and
has made his way by selling adver-
tising space on his wheel barrow and
from donations. He has not accepted
any offers to ride and has walked
every step of the distance of over
34OO miles travelled to this city. His
outdoor life has restored his health
which was failing as a result of
service during the World War. He
has captured a prairie dog and kill
ed fox and coyote in Arizona.
Vuillemot is confident that he will
reach Washington City by June l.,
1923.

The family were eating their Christ
mas dinner when the firse was dis

to their ioyousness in a most re-
grettable manner.
According to reports, the extent of
the loss will be about four thous-
and dollars.
The building was rendered abso-
lutely unfit for further occupancy,
and the family have rented another

COMMUNITY CAROLERS TOUR
CITY.

On Christmas Eve about fifty men
and ladies gathered at the Chambe.
Of Commerce Office, and from there
went in automobiles on a tour of
New Iberia, singing Christmas Car
OILS to list Of "shut-ins" that had
been prepared.
About fifteen homes were visited
by the singers. Some of these homes
contained invalids, some crippled per.
sons, or sick, and some elderly peo-
pie who are not able to get out
much.
Many were the words of thanks
spoken for this music. One lady said,
"You have brought touch of real
Christmas cheer to my old mother
that will never be forgotten" Ono
young man, cripple, has sent word
to Community Service that words
cannot express his appreciation for
their thoughtfulness.
1t is little things like this done in
a community that make real home
town.
A little MORE kindness,
And little LESS creed,
A little more GIVING,
A little less GREED;
A little more SMILE,
A little less FROWN,
A little less kicking
A man when he's down.
A little more "WE,"
And little less "I,"
A little MORE LAUGH,
And a little LESS CRY,
A little more flowers
On the pathway Of Life,
Will prevent much complaint
And end much of your strife.

CHRISTMAS WAS EXTENSIVELY CELEBRATED
IN NEW IBERIA.
Community Service Efforts Add Much To The JolIity
OF The Occasion

Christmas in New Iberia was oh
served in a manner, and with an en-
| thusiasm not seen here in many &
year.
From observations, and according
to the statements of our leading
merchants, there was more money
spent, and more presents given, than
in several years preceding
The usual number of Christmas
| visitors in New iberia was sweled
to new high record mark. and the
| family reunions Of absent members
were numbered by the dozens.
An atmosphere of good will and
friendly association pervadod the en-
| tire city to remarkable extent.
ENTERTAINMENTS MEROUS
Starting several days before Christ
mas, with Christmas trees and ent
ertanments in all the schools, and
with special services in all churches.
commemorating the Nativity of
Christ, the entire populace was
brought under the genuine Christmas
influence, and prepared for real
observance of the day.
The Knights of Columbus dispens-
ed good cheer and generous gifts to
hundreds of children Sunday after
noon at four O'clock, on the occasion
of their public Christmas tree, in
st. Berchman's Hall, at Mount Car
mel Convent.
A veritable army of eager young
sters thronged the hall, but the lib
eral provisions were equal to the
test, and every outstretched hand
received it's gift.
THE COMMUNITY CELEBRATION
The much heralded Community
Tree was erected, as previously an
nounced in The Iberian, on the Court
House grounds.
The committee had done noble
work, and when the lights were turn
ed on shortly after six O'Clock
Christmas afternoon, gasp of adj
miration involuntarily swelled from
the vast throng who had gathered to
witness the event.
The New Iberia band met Old
Santa in front Of the Chamber Of
Commerce headquarters, and preced-
ed his decorated truck to the Court
yard, where they played few sell
ections while Santa with his assist
ants were moving the huge boxes of
candy to the tree.
CROWD PASSES EXPECTATIONS
While the arrangement committee
had anticipated large gathering.
the number so far surpassed their
expectations that the plan of proce-
dure had to be abandoned to a con
siderable extent.
Santa had intended 10 dispense the
bags of candy from his truck, but it
was found impossible to drive through
the solid line of cars that blocked
Main street in front of the Court
House, nor would it have been safe
to attempt passing the truck through
the mass of crowding hundreds that
surrounded the tree.

SANTA HAD BIG JOB
Santa Claus, represented by Mr..
Max Zimmerman, iovial manager of
the Boldt Paper mill. had man
sized job in handing out the bags Of
candy
Approximately twelve hundred
hands were stretched out to receive
the packages that had been prepar-
ed by the ladies of New Iberia.
1t was not so much for the candy
itself as the pleasure of receiving il
at the pretty tree, and from Old
Santa himself, that caused tho lit
tie folks to push and crowd till il
looked for time as though Santa
Claus, tree, and assistants would be
crushed beneath the press of eager
feet. However, a few men came to
the assistance, and in short time a
Inc was formed and everything
went along smoothly Candy and
children "came out even,' and the
last bag filled the last outstretched
hand.

good and justified its existence
