Therefore, # advertising expenses are to be cut ct this time surely 1t would be by those engaged in selling goods by post With a strange disregard of their own in. terests every last one of them has recently started in on new adver. tising campaign In which as much or more money will be spent than last year Does this look as though they were afraid that people are go- ing to stop buying?
 Last gear one Chicago house sold S90.00000O worth Of goods by man. Do you Imagine that the war across the sen is going to seriously affect our demand for our own goods? Would not it look lot better to other ma. tions if we showed @ little more con iidence in the stability of our own country than we do2 The only way confidence can be restored is by a continuation of the same policies re- garding advertising and general bust. ness than have prevailed heretofore.

FIA THE GAP

Commissioners of Finance W. J.
Leblanc promptly recognized the
propriety of The Chiefs suggestion
that, having changed his place Of
residence from Donaldsonville to New
Orleans, his resignation as a member
of our city's commission council
should be Forthcoming in order that
the machinery of the municipal gov
eminent might be put again in smooth
and complete operation by the cleo
ton of his successor.
The resignation was submitted to
Mayor Lemann last week, and it is
now in order for the proper steps to
be taken to fill the vacancy.
Mr.. Leblanc fulfilled the duties of
the office with credit to himself and
to the satisfaction of the people of
the city, and we shall be fortunate
to find as capable and efficient a
commissioner of finance to succeed
him.
The place is one of Importance,
and it is desirable that it be speedily
provided with an incumbent, not only
that the particular duties of the com
missioner Of finance be given proper
attention, but also that there may be
an arbiter of possible differences of
opinion and policy between the two
other members of the council and an
avoidance of deadlocks and delays in
the transaction Of the municipalities
business and the passage of its ordi-
nanceS

ed to packed houses at Plaquemine
during the first three days of the

Their success at Plaquemine was SO

company will open fortnight en-
gagement at the Donaldsonville High
School auditorium tomorrow night,
and with the prices of admission be-
ing only 10 and 20 cents, the big hall
will doubtless be filled.
"The Rosary" will be the initial
offering, and since it tells spiritual
and uplifting story, the selection is
a happy one for a Sabbath day en-
tertainment. Eugene West will i'm

The local engagement of the COM

share in the receipts, and as every
one is interested in the welfare of
this splendid institution capacity au-
diences should be the rule during the

AN INDUSTRIOUS LoUIsIANIAN.

Chief Justice Edward Douglass
White of the United States supreme
court celebrated the SEVENTEEN an
nlversary of his birth on the 4th ult.,
and was the recipient Of many con-
CALCULATIONS from his associates and
friends. Although now eligible for
retiremd pt on full pay, Judge White
IS appa nifty in the enjoyment of ro-
bust he 9TH and mental vigor, hence
1t is no considered probable that he
will seriously consider leaving the
bench for some years. He has rem
dered distinguished service to the
country es a member and chief justice
OF its highest judicial tribunal, and
his conspicuous talents have reflect
ed honor upon his native Louisiana.
Born in the parish of Lafourche
near Thibodaux, he lived for many
years on the banks of thdAerstwhile
lovely bayou from which the parish
took its name, and there are many of
the older people of this section who
still know and affectionate1y speak
of him as "Ned White" the compan-
ion and friend of their earlier years.

THE LEVEE BOARD PRINTING
CONTRAC CT,

The Jefferson Democrat, which sue
ceeded The Chief as official journal
of the Lafourche Basin Levee Board
when the domicile Of that body was
arbitrarily transferred from Donald
sonville to Gretna without due pro-
cess of law some years ago, seeks to
turn a partisan point in its own IA
vor and infiict a wrist-slap on the le-
wee board by criticizing the. award of
the printing again to this paper at
the meeting of the 18th ultimo. Our
contemporary claims that its bid was
the lowest of three submitted and
that non-acceptance thereof c6nsti-
tuted case of "No Regular need ap-
ply" the inference being that the
Democrats alignment with the So
called Regular Democracy holding
sway in New Orleans and adjoining
bailiwicks rendered the paper persona
non grata to the levee commissioners
and influenced their action on the
printing matter.
That this inference is fallacious
would seem to be established by the
circumstance that The Democrat has
enjoyed the boards job printing pa
tronage right along since the expira-
ton of it's term as official journal
If the board or it's officials were pre-
JUDGED against the Gretna journal on
account of it's fractional alignment
and desired to curtail it's income or
circumscribe its influence, it isn't like
ly they would have continued to pa
tronize its printing Office.
Of course the gentlemen compos-
ing the Lafourche board were not
actuated by the petty motive which
our contemporary in it's passing and
uncharacteristic spell of chagrin
would ascribe to them. twas decid-
ed that the publication Of the detail
ed proceedings of all the board meet
ings was not necessary, since the
whole years transactions are indicat-
ed in the semi-annual financial state
ments, and this conclusion is ap-
proved by competent legal opinion.
The acceptance of The Chiefs bid
for publishing the financial state
ments was therefore in the line of
economy as applied to space, time
and expenditure.
The Chief took it's medicine quite
placidly when the domicile of the le-
wee board was removed to Gretna by
force of the doctrine that might
makes right" and we were told that
the official journal of the board NA1ld
be published at the domicile, Very
logical proposition; and we didn't
even slap the new board on the wrist
when, after the domicile had been re-
stored to Donaldsonville, where the
law contemplated it should be, an
other Gretna paper was favored with
the printing contract. We commend
our own example to the jefferson
Democrat as eminently worthy of
emulation just now. Gretna has had
really hore than was rightly hers in
the way of levee board patronage and
growls from there are decidedly out
of order.
Having thus admonished our es-
teemed contemporary for it's own gen
eral good and upIift, we take occa-
sion to thank it for the fraternal fe-
licitation and graceful compliment
comprised in this generous expires
sion: "Our congratulations are ten
dered our excellent contemporary,
the Donaldsonville Chief, on having
been awarded this contract. The
work could not be entrusted to bet
ter hands"

November Weather.

All sorts of weather comprised
Donaldsonville's meteorological calen-
dar for November, as shown by the
record compiled by Local Observer
Alfred Landry. The mercury climb
ed to the 87-degree mark on the End,
3rd and 18th, and on the 30th took
tumble of 27 degrees and brought
up at point one degree below freez-
ing. The greatest daily range in
temperature, however, occurred on
the 21st, when the maximum reading
was 70 degrees and the minimum 50,
a drop of 80 degrees. The rainfall
during the month totalled 1.22 inches,
of which so of an inch was precipi-
tated on the 25th and the remainder
on four other days. Exactly one
half of November's thirty days were
suffused with sunshine, the remainder
being included in the cloudy and
partly cloudy" category. Fogs were
observed on four days, and the pre-
vailing direction of the wind was
northeasterly.

CHRISTMAS GIFTS FOR POOR
a. CHILDREN. @

Everybody in the community who
can afford to spare a mite for a good
cause ought to be glad to send a
contribution to The Chief in behalf
of the fund which the Woman's Civic
League Of Donaldsonville has started
for the purpose of purchasing dolls
and toys to be distributed as Christ
mas gifts among the poor children of
this city.
What more worthy or pleasurable
use can be made of few dimes or
dollars than this?
1t is more blessed to give than to
receive always, and thrice more bless
ed is it to give to the poor than to
receive the richest gifts for our own
benefit and enjoyment.
The rarest Christmas present any
one of US may get cannot compare in
value or happiness-conferring power
with the humblest contribution that
makes glad the heart of poor child.
The Chief has undertaken to act
as treasurer of the local doll and toy
fund, and contributions will be
acknowledged in these columns. May
they be many, generous and prompt.

Football Tomorrow Afternoon.

The D. H. S. football team will
play the St. Vincent Academy eleven
of Baton Rouge at the local fair
grounds tomorrow afternoon. Sew
eral changes have been made in the
lineup of the high school squad and
some promising new plays and for
nations have been learned, hence
there is every reason to believe that
the boys will make vastly improved
showing tomorrow as compared with
their first try-out against Dutchtown
couple of weeks ago. The average
weight of the teams is about the same,
which gives additional assurance that
the game will be closely contested

YOUNG MEN TO ORGANIZE.
Formation of Junior Chamber
Commerce Proposed.

A number of the young business
men of Donaldsonville have become
interested in the organization of a
junior Chamber of Commerce such as
is in existence in Baton Rouge and
other cities. This organization is to
be entirely independent of the pres
ent Chamber of Commerce, but its
principal aim, of course, will be to
cooperate in every way possible with
the present organization.
The interested parties are making
great progress talking up this or
ganization among the young business
men with a view to having a meet
ing in the near future, at which Rabbi
Emanuel Sternheim, of Baton Rouge,
has been invited to talk, giving the
members the benefit of his knowledge
and experience as an organizer of
the Baton Rouge association.
Every progressive young business
man of Donaldsonville undoubtedly
realizes the benefits to be obtained
from belonging to an organization of
this nature, as well as the things
which can be accomplished, and all
are earnestly requested to attend
this meeting, the date of which will
be announced later.

Correct Diagnosis.

The esteemed Lafourche Comet
sizes up the local situation very ac-
curately in the following friendly
paragraph:
1T looks like confidence and pros
perity are being re-established in
Donaldsonville, sure enough. The
Chief tells us that Donaldsonville will
have another bank within ninety days.
This shows that the people of that
town are not discouraged by the bank
failures that took place in their pre-
cincts last ysar. We hope to see the
new institution successful and so or
gained as to avoid the disasters
that wrecked the other institutions"
