NATTER OF VITAL PUBLIC IN

Every citizen OF Donaldsonyille has
a direct interest in the object Of the
meeting to be held at the Grand
Theatre tomorrow forenoon for the
purpose of recognizing and rehabili-
tating the DonaldsonEille Progressive
Union, and therefore every citlsen
should attend who can possibly do
SO.
In view of the changed conditions
confronting this state and section as
a result Of the threatened removal Of
the sugar tariff, DonaldsonEllle is
more than ever in need Of co-opera-
ton among its people to insure its
future Well-being, and there is urgent
necessity of concerted effort to boost
the city and surrounding country
The Industrial and commercial re-
organization and REIMBURSEMENT to fol-
low the enactment o. the Under

tally, and not only our prosperity but
our very livelihood depends upon cur
ability TO accommodate ourselves to
the new order of things. Above all,
it is essential that we throw off, the

shaved us to a deplorable degree in
the past, and devote our best ener-
gies henceforth to building up the
city and reviyifying its arteries of
trade activity.
DonaIdsonvilIe' fine location and
many natural advantages are appar-
ent and incontestable, but they must
be exploited and advertised to yield
adequate returns from a business
point Of view. This work can only
be made successful if prosecuted
along systematic modern lines by a
Progressive Union or Chamber of
Commerce, hence it is that all of
our people are concerned in the form
alton and proper conduct of such a
civic organization as it is proposed
to revive and launch tomorrow.
Similar bodies are in existence and
at work in hundreds of towns and
cities throughout the United States,
and most of them bear the title of
Chamber of Commerce and hold
in the National Chamber
of Commerce. For the sake of uni
fornnity we suggest that the name
Chamber Of Comm cree" be substi-
tuted for that Of Progressive Union"
as applied to the Donaldsonville or
ganization. The New Orleans Pro
gressive Union recently enlarged its
plan Of operation and changed its
designation to New Orleans Associa-
ton of Commerce, using the word
association instead of chamber
because of objection to the latter on
the part of the New Orleans Board
of Trade, which absorbed the old
New Orleans Chamber of Commerce
years ago.
