THE SOUTH LOUISIANA I'M
MIGRATION ASSO CIATlON.


| Co-operation is the keynote OF
the South Louisiana immigration As
SOC jation. Realizing that the sys'
tenn of the single crop and the Dig
plantation is doomed in Louisiana,
and that diversification and ne" ag.
riculturaI methods must De aoopteo
to meet the new conditions thrust
upon them, the planters, landoWn-
ers and business. men of this sec
ton have formed themselves into an
effective body for the purpose OF
properly and legitimately adVertls-
ing the varied resources of the par
ishes of Assumption, Ibervllle, St.
James and Ascension.
It is the intention of this asso-
citation to take advantage Of the
splendid publicity given our state
by the recent visit of the north
ern agricultural editors, and by
keeping in close and constant touch
with the publications represented by
those editors, both through person

advertising, to attract this way that
desirable class of farmers who for
various reasons are constantly emil
grating from the congested agricul-
tural sections of the north.
An organization which is not only
able to offer the prospective emil
grant and homeseeker ia soil and
climate superior to his own, but
also welcome and the assurance
that his social and material welfare
will be the especial care of both the
organization and it's individual mem
bers, is bound to appeal to anyone
wishing to better his condition and
cannot fail to produce profound
impression on all whom the message
may reach.
They have the skill and the energy,
We have the soil and the climate,
and with combination Of the two
forces, our section will become the
richest and most productive in the
world
Even though no such results were
to follow in the wake of this Or
ganization, the spirit of cooperation
engendered by the meetings where
the many economic problems con-
fronting our section are discussed
intelligently and spasslonately
would be worth the while and the
small expense entailed more than
pay.
This body is composed of all the
principal planters, landowners, bank
ers, merchants and professional men
Of four parishes which nature in
tended should be the garden spot Of
the world; and the coming to-
gether of these representative and
responsible citizens whose interests
are identical cannot fail to be profit
able and result in the material bet
terment of all, collectively and in
dividually

Local Belgian Farmer Called to War.

Raymond Thiery, a prominent Bel
gian farmer of this city, has received
a telegram from Belgian Consul De.
walle at New Orleans, informing him
that he is subject to military duty
in his native country, and that a
Holland-American liner win sail from
New York with Belgian reservists on
the 18th inst Associated with Mr..
Thlery in his farming enterprise are
Jan HeubeI and Antoon Derkend, ma
tiVes of Holland, the former of whom
is subject to military service in that
country. These colonists have sue
'cessfully cultivated track of land
on the outskirts Of Donaldsonyille,
and have built up a profitable in
dustry in truck farming and canning
1t is not likely that Mr.. Thiery
will have an opportunity Of cross
ing the ocean to fight for his coun-
try, since the United States gov
eminent, in pursuance of its policy
of strict neutrality as regards the
present European outbreak, has is
sued an order that ships carrying
foreign reservists in organized man
ner will not be permitted to clear
from ports of the United States. Mr..
Thlery stated that it was his in
tentlon to go to New Orleans for a
with the Belgian consul.

NALsB IMPRESSION RECTIFIED.

A mistaken impression having
gained currency following the publ
cation of a despatch from this city
in New Orleans paper reporting
the action Of the commission council
in resolving to dispense with the
services of all the present police Of
ficers of DonaIdsonVi1le at the ex-
piration of the current month, it is
explained that reorganization Of
the police force on a more economi-
cal basis is contemplated, and not
the elimination entirely Of this
branch Of the public service.
Donaldsonvllle being the parish
seat OF Ascension, the sheriff main
tains his office and residence here,
and the facilities of his organization
are available for police protection at
all times, in addition to which two
ward constables are on duty within
the city limits. Not only is this
the case. but breaches of the peace
or attractions of the law are so in
frequent here that for the greater
part of the time there is not suffi-
Gent work to be done to engage even
the partial attention of all the po-
lice officers presently employed
1t was never the Intention Of the
commission council to leave the city
unprotected, but for the sake of
economy merely to reorganize the
police force either by a reduction
In the number of policemen or by a
cut in their pay. without in the
least impairing the general efficiency
of the force
Donaldsonville is well policed, Or
DERBY and law abiding and will con-
tlnue SO, and should any misguided
denizens of the underworld be at
tracted hither through a false i'm
preston, they will find their en-
vtronments both uncongenial and I'M
profitable.

EAT LESS MEAT
IF BACK HURTS
Take glass of Salts to flush Kidneys
if Bladder bothers you-Drink
lots Of water.

Eating meat regularly eventually pro-
duces kidney trouble in some form or
other, says n well-known authority, be-
cause the uric acid in meat excites the
kidneys, they become overworked; get
sluggish; clog up and cause all sorts of
distress, particularly backache and mis-
cry in the kidney region; rheumatic twin
ges, severe headaches, acid stomach, CON-
stipstion, torpid liver, sleeplessness,
bladder and urinary irritation.
The moment your back hurts or kid
neys aren't acting right, or if bladder
bothers you, get about four ounces of
Jad Salts from any good pharmacy;
take tablespoonful in a glass of water
before breakfast for a few days and your
kidneys will then act fine. This famous
salts is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia,
and has been used for generations TO
flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them
to normal activity; also TO neutralize the
acids IN the urine so il no longer irri-
tates, thus ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts cannot injure anyone;
makes a delightful effervescent lithia-
water drink which millions of men and
women take now and then TO keep the
kidneys and urinary organs clean, thus
avoiding serious kidney disease.

ONE Is HURT and
ANOTHER PINCHED
Fight Staged in the Middle of
Second Avenue Ended by
Police Near Midnight.

One man was arrested and the other
visited a doctor, the result of a fight
staged in the middle of Second ave-
nue., between Eighteenth and Nine
teenth streets, at 11:45 O'Clock last
night.
John Hand, who formerly lived in
this city, got the worst of the fight
and visited the NJ. D. William Ham
merle, alleged to be the aggressor in
the fuss, was taken into custody by
Officer William Fitzsimmons last eve
ming, and this morning was arraigned
in police court.
In order to give Hand time to re-
cover from his injuries and testify
against Hammerle, the case was con-
tinued by Magistrate c. ]. Smith until
Wednesday, July II, and Hammerle
gave bonds in the sum of 5000 to ap-
pear for preliminary hearing at that
time
Exactly what caused the fight the
police have been unable to learn, al
though they claim both men had been
drinking. 1t developed from the story
gained of the encounter that Ham
mere jumped on Hand, injuring the
latter's leg.
The case in which August Pooh
vardy was charged with disorderly
conduct was dismissed this morning
by Magistrate Smith. A heavy fine
was suspended over his head, and he
received Instructions that if he did not
behave and keep his peace in the
neighborhood the fine would be as
sessed him.
