At a meeting of the Elks' committee of
arrangements for the Fourth of July fair.
festival and celebration, it was decided to
postpone the event for about thirty days
on account of the continued inclemency
of the weather Due notice will be given
later of the dates on which the affair will
take place, and it is hoped that the delay
thus occasioned will give greater and more
ample opportunity to make the celebra-
ton larger, better and far more successful
from every viewpoint than could other
wise have been done under present con-
ditions.
The annual parade and celebration of
the Donaldsonville fire department, which
was to have been held next Monday in
connection with the Elks' festival. has
also been postponed, this action having
been taken at meeting of the fire board
Thursday night. 1t has not yet been
definitely decided whether the parade
will be given when the Elks' jollifcation
is held later in the month, or will be pre-
termitted until next year. Further action
relative to the matter win probably be
taken by the fire board at some future
date.
The police jury will hold its regular
bi-monthly meeting on Wednesday, July
IL, and the parish school board will as
semble in special session on the same
day. The regular monthly meeting of the

The St. Helena Echo recently celebrated
its twenty birthday anniversary, and
Editor W. 7. Holland, who has been in
possession of the paper for the past
eighteen years, declares that during that
time he has expended labor sufficient to
have dug the Panama Canal whitfield
cedar wood enough off lead pencils to re-
build Noah's ark and made so much
money that Rockefeller's pile would look
like thirty cents by comparison We
hope he and the Echo will keep up the
pace for another twenty-five years-and

AMERICUS is MECCA OF
SHOPPERS AT PRESENT
Cold Wave Brings on Flood
of Buying.

AmerIcus merchants reapa1 har-
vest the past week as a result of the
cold wave, which had the effect OF
starting wave of trade Cold waves
mnless they are too violent, are always
productive of a good, BRISK trade.
This particularly applies to men. A
merchant said yesterday that a man
would wear his summer clothes the
year round if it did ont get cold. Few
men figure against a possible cold
wave, but wait until it is upon them
and then make a grand rush for the
clothing store.
They hunt up the shoe man and hat
man and buy everything in sight and
array themselves like unto Solomon
and then proclaim their wisdom and
proWess.
But Mrs. Americus goes about it en-
tirely differently. She wakes up in tae
mornig, takes a look at the calendar
and proceeds to be governed thereby.
If it is the dawn of spring her heart
leaps with joy and she sings about her
work and whom tits done arrays her,
self in her best bib and tucker for the
business section.
Is just looking. you know, wants to
get an eye on the styls; keeps a sharp
lookout to see if some one Is forcing
the season bit, and returns home, her
mind filed with the creations she has
seen. Then there is a heart to hdlrt
talk with hubby or daddy and the thing
IS done. The necessary ducats are
dug up and the next day the buying
begins.
No matter what the weather is like at
The timeb she buys and buys until she
mas spent her money for seasonabl
