NEW TROUBLE IN MEXICO.

Rebellion against the Obregon re-
gime in Mexico has taken on consid-
cradle force, and Americans living a
long the Mexican border in Texas are
preparing for a recurrence of the old
disturbances that accompanied the
former wars in the country to the
South.
Five thousand troops have been
placed in readiness by the U. S. gov
eminent, ready for any emergency
that may arise. They were modified
Wednesday night when rumors reach
ed Ell Paso that 5000 Mexicans were
assembling and that the garrison at
Juarez was momentarily expected to
join the revolutionists.
1t is pretty safe to predict that the
present federal government will not
put up with the annoyances that be-
fore resulted to Americans, when the
Mexicans went on a rampage.

LA. HAS 275 SWEET POTATO
STORAGE HOUSES.

There are now 275 sweet potato
storage houses in Louisiana with a
capacity of 100000 bushels, accord
ing to figures recently compiled by
the Horticultural Department., Exten-
sion Division, Louisiana State Uni
versity. This rapid development OF
the industry has taken place practi-
cally within the past five years.
The fact that storage houses were
constructed in forty-one parishes the
past season, 1921, demonstrates clear
ly the wide spread interest that is
being displayed in this industry by
the farmers of the state. The storage
house has again proved its value by
the fact that "cured" storage house
potatoes are selling at present for
one cent per pound more than "bank-
ed'' potatoes. This difference would
pay for the erection Of a storage
house in one year.
Free plans and specifications for
storage houses can be obtained by
writing the Horticultural Depart
ment, Extension Division, Louisiana
State University, Baton Rouge, La.

Each of the executive departments
Is concerned to improve its service
and to discover new and useful fields
of service. The entire organization
Of the army, of the navy, of each o!
the departments, independent offices
and agencies of the government, Is de-
voted to an important task. Its par
ticular function seems of vital use
fulness, even necessity. Experts IN
each are alive to its defects and to
the opportunities for usefulness when
have not been availed Of.
THE secretary, or other head or
the department, drawn from private
life, perhaps wholly ignorant at the
outset Of the nature and extent OF Its
problems, promptly becomes the advo-
cate Of the policies and demands OF
his permanent assistants and bureau
chiefs. If he does not become such
advocate, he may break down the
morale of his organization and possibly
lose the confidence Of his personnel.
Behind it all is the pressure OF or
ganized interests in the constituencies,
which are the beneficiaries of specific
expenditures, operating upon politi-
clans, executive departments, senators
and congressman. The strident voice
Of greed is heard in the market place
and in legislative halls; the voice OF
the people is barely audible.
1.-THE fact that each project is con-
sidered separately, without reference,
either in executive departments or
congress. to ways and means Of financ-
ing 1t, prevents concentration of pOpu-
lar opinion on the awful total. All
agree that there must be economy, but
as each item is presented all seeming
ly agree that that is not the proper
field for economy. There must be econ
omy, but there must be merchant
marine, whatever the cost. There must
be economy, but the government must
pay high wages to railroad employees
and furnish transportation on the rail
roads at less than cost. There must
be economy, but the World war SOL
diers must have their bonus. There
must be economy, but Civil war pen
sions must be Increased. There must
be economy, but we must prepare for
war, regardless of expense"
You know this is true. The new
budget law will help very much this
condition, but unless you are interest
ed, continuously, actively, openly in
terested, your money will not be saved.

GAMBLING MUST STOP, IS WAR
CRY in BATON ROUGE.

BATON ROUGE, La, Feb. a.
Baton Rouge seems to be in for a
sure enough cleaning up.
Last night the federal prohibition
officers made their second raid in
Baton Rouge, and visited seven
places, in two of which whiskey was
found.
Yesterday afternoon a committee
of citizens held a conference with
Mayor Grouchy, the chief of police,
the city Judge and parish officials,
and discussed suppression of gam
bling, liquor selling and disorderly
houses. A list of places in which
gambling is being conducted, and
disorderly houses, most of them out
side of the city, was handed the
chief of police.

"The subscriber would use his or

"His voice would be carried by

Under the heading Of 'The Land
of Peppers" the Weekly Messenger,
of St. Martinville, last week carried
an article, that while not written for
that purpose, constitutes a most fay
orable comment Of the value OF
Chamber of Commerce, and especial
II the value of our local organization
to New Iberia.
While we do not agree with every
thing said about the advantage OF st.
Martin over New iberia IN regard to
the raising of peppers, still there IS
undoubtedly something to his argu-
ment. He fails, however, to take no.
tice of the fact that our city IS on
the main line Of the railroad, while
his is located on a branch.
But the fact that through our
Chamber of Commerce we were able
to grab off the factory, points in a
most undisputable way to the value
of such a body of men for any city
or town.
The article in the Messenger says:
THE LAND OF PEPPERS.
"The best proof of the influence Of
a live and active Chamber Of Com
merce was demonstrated last week in
New Iberia, when they secured for
that town the establishment of a
branch of the Frank Spice Co., of
Cincinnati, large dealers in peppers
of all kinds The same company had
been corresponding with Mr.. Luke
BONN here to put up their branch
factory and had an appointment here
with Mr. BONN, but having been in
duced to locate in New Iberia, did
not meet the appointment with Mr..
BONN. Now everybody hereabout
knows that St. Martinville and Parks
are the logical locations for the ham
ding of all kinds of peppers, as Ibe-
ria parish never produce enough pep
per to supply the factories in that
parish, because most of their supply
is gotten from st. Martin parish.
''The Moss factory before it was
absorbed by the McIlhenny Co., got
nearly all its~pepper from St. Mar
tin parish; this last season the Pep
per factory of Jeanerette bought a
large supply of Tabasco pepper at
Parks, St. Martin parish, and Nell
benny also got a good supply from
this parish. For the coming season
we are informed that the McIlhenny
Co., has contracted at Parks for so
acres of Tabasco pepper. We do not
believe this company would leave
Iberia parish to come to St. Martin
parish to get its Tabasco pepper if
it could get it in their own parish,
II miles closer to the factory. The
best land for producing, especially
Tabasco, is the Cypress Island sec
ton in st. Martin parish

MAIL ORDER VS.. US.

The fight between the mail order
houses and the local business man
never lets up. But in spite OF what
some people in New Iberia think,
the local merchant remains counsel-
lor and friend of the buying pubic.
He can give more sound and reason
able advice about goods in ten MIN
utes than can be obtained in cata-
log in a month.
An element that is in favor OF To-
cal buying is that the buyer IS able
to see and examine the goods; he can
be told the respective values OF va
rious articles and why it would be
advisable to buy one kind in prefer
ence to another. There is practically
no talking into buying something
YOU don't want left in local mer-
chandising-but there is much of this
in catalogs through suggestion. In
deed, money is often wasted by send
ing for stuff seen in catalogs that is
not what actually is needed. But
there is no advice, no guiding hand
and the worthless catalog article IS
sent for and turns out to be insult
ed for the purpose intended.
The service that the local dealer
is able to render is worth money
and this point is often overlooked.
This service hinges on a guarantee
of satisfaction. There is not deal
err in town who will not insist that
customer is satisfied in every res
pect, and who will not do everything
possible to create satisfaction.
And as for price-the local mer-
chant loses nothing by comparison,
all things considered. 1t is of course
true that all things are not always
considered by buyers. The mail order
people, it is certain, bank on quaint
ty sales; the purchase of dollars
worth of goods at time is not en-
couraged-it is too little to bother
with. Yet some thoughtless people
expect the merchant to sell as cheap
ly when disposing of a small pur-
chase as the mail order people do
when disposing of sales from $40 and
up. 1t isn't fair to expect this.
Go to any merchant in New lbe-
ria and tell him how much goods you
intend to buy-as much at time as
you would if buying from mail
order house. The chances are ten to
one he would sell just as cheaply as
the mail order house-and probably
estimate on a line of goods too high
class for the mail order house to
hanle-and give instant service to
boot.
This item of quality goods is very
important. Very few retail mer
chants can afford to handle goods
that might not give satisfaction. The
buyer is "close to home and can be
heard from-personally-too easily.
Buy AT HOME-and be satisfied.
