A. NJ. E. ZION CHURCH IN
 CAMPAIGN FOE s1,eoo

The enthusiasm of the members of the A. M. E. Zion church on Mckinley av- enue for the approaching campaign to raise the mortgage on their parsonage was interestingly manifest on Wednes- day night at the. close of class meeting.
 The church members have previously paid a generous share on the purchase of the house on Grove place and of the ST. 500 mortgage about a $1,oo0 was raised when they put on the campaign two years ago when the former pastor was here.
 They are now bound to raise the $500 balance and $400 for repairs and im- provements as there have been none made on it since it's purchase.
 The new pastor, Rev. D. A. Brown, who came to this field at the close of the district conference few months ago, is bringing his past experience gained in other fields to bear on the meetings oi preparation and now the canvassers are commencing to feel that Norwich res 1 idents will miss blessing should they not have chance to give their con 1 tribution to them. Three team captains, William E. Geary Charles E. Hall and Speed Evans. wer, appointed by the pastor and they vii receive the list of their team membeTs on Sunday evening next.
 | At that time the church member. will hand in their own pledges and tn, campaign will be then finally launched to begin on Monday morning.
 The usual semi-weekly reports fol such drives will be made at the churcE and the indicator will~ be advanced a each meeting until the roof is reached.
 Advanced notice letters are now, be ing mailed and immediate response iron recipients or others will help lessen tn work of the busy canvassers.
 Charles I. Smith Is acting as campaigl manager and Herbert " Gallup a treasurer for the fund
 The canvasseFs will each have thef signed credentials with them when 50 liciting,
 Checks can be made and pledges sen to the treasurer at 2s Grove street.

gave their lives. Through long hard
ship and sacrifice the men Of the
Legion have come to know what it is
to serve America. Out Of the fullness
Of this knowledge we extend heart
felt greetings to those who have
served America before-to the Grand
Army Of the Republic, to the Con-
federate Veterans, to the Veterans
Of the Spanish War. We salute you.
We shall bear the torch that you
have borne the higher for the eX-
ample you have set. We bow our
heads in honor Of your heroic dead.
"Our own dead are our peculiar
care To day in the cemeteries of
England and France, in Italy, and in
far off Russia, this day Of honor and
remembrance is being observed und-
er the auspices Of the Legion. We
salute the dead of the World War.
At their graves we swear that they
shall not have died in vain. At their
graves we devote ourselves again to
the ideals for which they died We
shall not turn aside from the path
they marked while one American
veteran still suffers on account OF
his service to America; while sin

of American citizenship; while a
single alien remains in America for
gold and not for good"

RED CROSS HANDLING
FLOOD SITUATION,
Worker Reports On Lo-
reauVille Conditions.

Mrs. K, j. Thornton, the special
Red Cross Worker who arrived in
Lorcauyille last week, began her
work at once. She surveyed the water
stricken district and had the people
who were suffering from the back
water to register systematically 1t
was found that about so persons,
including children, were in need of
food. A standard supply of proyi-
sIons were ordered for these unlor-
tunate people and distribution is be-
ing made.
Mrs. Thornton requires each person
to register. the names are then pass
ed on by the Committee as to
whether this person has lost his liv-
ing on account Of the water, and
if so he is supplied with rations ac-
cording to the size of his family
No registration, no rations. One old
colored man wanted to register for
his family, then asked to register
for his two married sons who lived
in different houses. The Secretary
told him that he could not do SO,
that this job was like getting to
Heaven, every one was provided for
on his own hook and one fellow could
not stand for the other.
The Red Cross is always ready in
time of any disaster or distress, and
the work being done now by this
organization in the flooded districts
is of marvellous proportions. No 9TH
er organization is prepared to handle
the situation in the organized man
ner. Trained workers are ever ready
to go on any emergency call. There
are between forty and fifty extra
workers now on duty in the differ
ent parts of Louisiana and Missis-
sippi New iberia is very fortunate
in having been able to secure
trained worker to look after the
Loreauville section when other pla-
ces are in 50 much greater need.
In an interview Thursday morning
Mrs. Thornton stated that three hum
dred and fifteen people were issued
rations Wednesday in the Loreauville
section, representing sixty families,
there being in the number one hund-
red and ninety four adults and one
hundred and twenty one children.
She stated further that for the past
day or two the water stage has been
stationary, no further rise being in
dicated at present.

school building to sell them whis-

the work in certain branches has
been considerably hampered by
drunken labor, as he has had sew

In the Little Bayou region, now
largely under control of the Humble
Oil Company, a derrick was cont
pleted this week, machinery installed
and everything being assembled for
the start that will be made, accord
ing to present plans, within the next
ten days.
The Humble has the reputation
and record of being a lucky concern
in wildcat oil work, and we have a
strong hunch that they are to be the
lucky ones to tap the big pool Of
petroleum that is believed by every
body to underle the Little Bayou
country. This derrick is located on
the Goodwin and Schwing tract.

LEGION WILL OBSERVE
MEMORIAL DAY.
Vets. Ask All To Assist In
Their Program.

10 honor the memory Of over one
hundred thousand of our soldier
dead; the memory of those who paid
the supreme sacrifice; the memory
of those who fought and died that
we might live in peace, American
Legion Posts throughout the country
are making preparations to fittingly
observe Memorial Day, Tuesday, May
both.
All Legionnaires Of Iberia Post
No. A of The American Legion, will
meet at the National Guard Armory
on Tuesday, at 9:30 A. M., as viii
the members of The American Le-
gion Auxiliary and from there will
proceed to the cemeteries Of our city
wherein lie buried our local soldier
dead, there to place upon their
graves an American flag, and bou-
quets of flowers.
Prayers will be offered up by the
ministers Of the various churches at
their respective cemeteries, and a
short address will be made appro-
pirate to the occasion.
1t is hoped that soldiers of all the
past wars will join in the procession
to the graves and there pay tribute
to their dead; they are all welcome,
and their presence will be expected
by the local post.
The public in general is urged to
forget their business worries for a
bout an hour on the appointed day
and turn out in goodly numbers to
do their part in properly observing
the sacred day.
1t is necessary that we keep fresh
in our memory the deeds of our
dead heroes; the great sacrifice they
made will perhaps relieve some of
US or some one near and dear to US
from performing similar duty car
rying with it the same sorrowful
ending; let us not be forgetful of
the wonderful deeds of our soldiers
Of the last World War. And, then in
the wars to come, if such there be,
there shall be no unheeded cry for
men, but our good American youth
will come forward and offer their
services, as they have in the past.
In speaking of our soldier dead a
bulletin from headquarters reads as
follows: "The echoes of that great
conflict are still ringing in our ears.
Not the men of former generation,
but our. sons, our brothers, our COM
rades have given their lives in the
winning of this last victory. These
beloved Of ours have taken their
proud place in the shadowy ranks of
those who perished that America
might live For us who live there re-
mains sharp sorrow for their loss,
and great pride in the manner OF
their loss, and high resolve to follow
against all odds the path they blaz-
ed with their blood.
"Out of this resolve has come the
American Legion. 1t is dedicated to

Community SERVICE
STARTED HERE.
Program To Be Adopted
At Next Meeting.

Community Service is an assured
proposition for New Iberia now.
Wednesday night about thirty rep
resentatives, of as many organiza-
tions, were present at the first meet
ing, in the c. of C. Office.
Roll call showed every organiza
ton in favor of going into this CO.
operative movement Tor the upbuild-
ing of our town.
1t was decided that the central
body should be much larger, to en-
sure more good workers and more
general interest. To this end COM
mittee Of five was chosen to select
the additional members. These five
were Mrs. Outhwaite, Mrs. H. w.
Gould, Supt. Porter, Prof. Bahon and
Mr.. w. d. Reynolds. They met Thurs
day morning and added about forty
members at large to the original list
of members.
When the entire body next meets
it is desired that they get down to
work at once. If this is to be done a
program of proposed accomplish
ments will have to be prepared for
them to act on. Therefore a COM
mittee Of Mrs. E. F. Millard, Miss
Carrie Pharr, Miss Lily Melanson,
Mr.. Luke Bertrand, DR.. J. A. Good
win and r. w. Frame, was selected
to map out tentative program and
submit it at the next gathering.
This committee met for two hours
Wednesday afternoon, and again
Friday evening, but their completed
work is not ready for publication.
It will, however, include Community
celebrations Of several popular holi-
days, with big Fourth of July all
day picnic, and general hoorah at the
City Park grounds, Henshaws Woods.
Plans already underway for this
big affair would seem to insure it's
being one of the greatest and most
unique and thoroughly enjoyable ev-
ents ever pulled off by our communi-
ty.

WOMEN THROWING OFF YOKE
Emancipation Of the Sex Has Been
Making Rapid Strides Through
out Palestine.

The emancipation of women In
Palestine is taking place very rapidly.
Women were not very seriously re-
garded heretofore. They were looked
upon as q bit of chattel to be given
little more regard than dog or a
cat about the house. They were
bought and sold to the whims Of the
lord and master Of the domestic es-
Establishments. They dared not leave
the premises without. special permis-
sion of the Husband" They were not
even given any work to do, but Of re-
cent years a change has come over
the scene and the women under the
impetus of some greater freedom have
developed into able artisans.
An exhibition of the work of the
women Of the country was held re-
Gently at Haifa and the results were
greater than were hoped for by the
most ardent supporters Of the enter
prise. There were many beautiful
specimens Of pottery, weaving, en-
broidery and other domestic accom-
plishments. Women have demanded
and are receiving equality in the home
and are entering into a line of ac-
tivities from which they have been
heretofore barred.
