The Mans the Thinu.

DR.. Aswell's platform is fine
structure. Nothing could be- better
than the admirable Good Government
League platform on which Hall and
Gueydan seek popular support, and
Mn. Michel's is as good as either of
the others. Judge Hall has hit the
bulls-eye with the epigrammatic dec
laration that the people, rendered
wary by disappointing experience,
aren't paying much attention to plat
forms this time, but are looking
to the man behind the platform.

A Guaranteed Popular Price Show

While Mr.. Broussard did not once
refer to the ward bosses of New
Orleans, his declaration against the
machine was coupled with an earn
est appeal for the people to arise
and overthrow it, as the machine is
moving down the manhood of Louis
lana. His previous statements that
the people know where he stands
on the gubernatorial question, has
created the impression here that
he is in favor of Judge Hall and
the principles advocated by him.
Mr.. Broussard's speech was force
full, dramatic and sincere, and is
considered to have been absolutely
the best effort of his career along
this line Es
The meeting attracted a number
of minor candidates, among them
being Messrs. Villeret, Bonner, Steele
and Hebert.
After the meeting, which did not
conclude until past Z O'Clock, the
Hall party, except Mr.. Pujo, who
left for New Orleans on the evening
train, went by automobile to Plat
tenville, where Judge Hall and
Messrs. Gueydan and Broussard ad
dressed a big rally held in connec-
ton with the fair then in progress
at that place. Several hundred
people were present and the speak
ers were given a gracious welcome.

Ascension Loses Prominent Citizen.
Mr.. and Mrs. S. H. St. Martin and
family left this week for New Or
leans, where they will make their
home in the future. Mr.. st. Martin
will engage in business in the Ores
cent City, having recently acquired
the Desangles cigar store at No. Ill
Decatur street, opposite the postof-
flee. This establishment has been
in business continuously under the
same ownership for the past thirty
seven years, and is therefore one
of the best known and most sub
kind in the city. Being located just
across the street from the custom
house, in which building there are
employed scores of gentlemen with
whom Mr. st. Martin is personally
acquainted, the DesangIes store
should continue W do a nice busi-s
ness under the management of its
new owner and prove a popular rem
devious for Mr. St. Martins host of
friends throughout the city and
those from the country who may
visit the metropolis from time to
time.
The departure from Ascension of
Mr. ST. Martin and his estimable fam
lily will be deeply regretted by their
exceptionally wide circle of friends
and acquaintance throughout the
parish. Mr. St. Martin was one. of
Ascension's best known and most
prominent citizens, having served as
sheriff of the parish for seventeen
years, and for the past two years
having filled the position of registrar
of voters. His host of friends will
join The Chief in wishing him
liberal measure of success in his
new venture, and unbounded happi-
ness and prosperity in his new
home.
A regular monthly meeting of the
board of directors of the Peoples
Bank was held last Tuesday fore
noon, and on the following day the
board of directors of the Bank of
Donaldsonville convened in monthly
session. The proceedings of both
bodies were of a practically identical
character, consisting of the reading
and approval of the reports of the
cashiers and discount and finance
committees, the adoption of resolu-
tons authorizing the presidents of
the respective institutions to ar
range for the purchase of the B.
per cent gold investment bonds of
the Donaldsonville Hotel Company in
the amount of one-third OF the total
issue of $4,000, and a general dis
cussion of matters appertaining to
the welfare of the two institutions.
Mr. and Mrs. Charles G. Maher
and their bright young children,
Charles, Jr., and Ruth, returned to |
Donaldsonville Monday morning af-
ter an absence of several months,
and have taken up their residence /
in their eommodious dwelling in
Claiborne street, near Chetimaches.
Mr.. Maher has been holding down
the responsible position of chief
sugar-boiler of the Nipe Bay Com
panys mammoth factory at Pres
ton, Cuba, and returned to Louisi-
ana a short time ago after taking
off the extensive crop of that plan

still suffering this morning with an at
tack of acute indigestion which came on
yesterday, and it was said at his apart
ments that he would not be able to APP
pear in court today to resume the wit

him.
Notwithstanding Mr.. Stokes absence,
the case was called today. Miss Marion

stand as the first witness. The COM
plainants counsel said Mr.. Stokes would
be able to resume his testimony Monday.
stenographer on Stand,

acquainted with Miss Graham In the lat
ter part Of 1906 and with Miss Conrad
May 81, 1911. She told Of Miss Graham's
calling Stokes on the telephone many
times in the last four years She said
that sometimes Miss Graham gave her
right name and at other times gave other
names.
Miss Brophey was shown a hat and
clothes. Mr., .StQkes wore the DAY OF the
shooting and swore they were not dis
guise, but such as he ordinarily wore.
The witness denied emphatically that she
was Stokes confidant in his affairs with
other women. The defense tried to show
through the stenographer that the letter
introduced last "Wednesday. in which Miss
Graham told Stokes why he need not fear
to have her as his guest on his Lexington
farm, was frame up" and written
after Miss Graham visited Lexington, but
Miss Brophey declared she never had
seen the letter before.

Wood-Burning Dairy Cattle

They are feeding dairy cattle on sawdust in Wisconsin. The branch es and twigs of trees and bushes cleared off the lands are ground up or mashed into a fibrous pulp. The experiments which have been wholly successful, were suggested by watching deer eat twigs, and by comparing the cow's stomach with the deer's.
 Clover and timothy do not at- tract COWS educated up to wood pulp. High brow COWS cry for wood pulp as human health cranks cry for "baled hay" Woodburning COWS produce more milk than the hay burning variety.
 Every twig and branch under firewood size is turned into the grinder; for calves and beef cattle special mixtures are made with ground grain or molasses. The discovery it is declared will revo- lutionize the dairy industry.
