HOW THE WAR GOES. :

The Balkan campaign continues to
be the most important and engross-
ing feature Of the European war, and
the allied German, Austrian and Bull
garian forces have decidedly the best
of the argument thereeup to date.
The Serbians have been steadily
driven south by the German and
Austrian invaders and west by the
Bulgarians, and the remnants of the
Serbian armies are in imminent peril
of capture or dispersal.
The French and British forces
landed at SaIonika have fought the
Bulgarians with varying results, and
will need to be heavily reinforced to
maintain their Balkan positions. The
attitude of Greece is still one of
neutrality, but is giving the entente
allies grave concern, as her unfrlend-
~ influence might place the invading
British and French forces in a peril
Gus plight.
Italy is expected to land troops IN
Albania soon, but it is doubtful if
succor can come from AK direction
in time to prevent the overwhelming
OF Serbia and montenegro as Belgium
was overwhelmed earlier in the war.
Rumania, like Greece, still keeps
neutral, but may be compelled to ''get
into the game almost any day, and
it cannot be foretold with certainty
which side Of the struggle she will
take.
Lord Kitchener has been sent to
the Balkans to direct diplomatic and
military movements in behalf Of the
entente allies, and the German kaiser
is in the same theatre of war for a
like purpose in behalf Of the Teutonic
powers. 1t is said the kaiser will
shortly visit Constantinople and es-
tablish temporary headquarters there.
The Russians are holding their
German and Austrian foes on the
eastern battle lines, and there have
been no recent actions of Importance
on the western fronts.

Motor Truck For Power Plant.

An order has been placed by the
Municipal Light and Water Commits
sion with K. A. Aucoin, local agent
for the Ford automobiles, for a
chassis of the Ford touring car type,
which will be converted into a SER
vice truck for the use Of the local
power plant. The horse-draWn wagon.
heretofore in commission was tenn
porarily put out of business as the
result of an accident few weeks ago,
when the conveyance was run into by
an automobile and partially demolish-
ed, the horse attached to the vehicle
being so badly injured as to render it
necessary that he should be killed.
The new truck will be modern in all
respects, equipped with every device
for the purpose for which it is to be
adapted, and will add another item to
the up-to-date and efficient equipment
of the local power plant, which is one
OF the finest in the state.

A CIVIC DIITY

The necessity for the maintenance
of the Donaldsonville Chamber Of
Commerce and the value to the com
munity of such an organization have
been forcibly illustrated on more
than one occasion, the most recent
manifestation in this direction having
been furnished by the steps taken by
the chamber to have the interests of
the people of this city and the whole
Lafourche valley properly represent
ed and cared for at the lock hearing
to be held by JnRited STAR Engineer
Schulz at Donaldsonviis~-~hext Tues
day forenoon.
Efforts are being made to increase
the membership and instill d fresh in
fusion of ginger into the chamber of
commerce, and every merchant, every
business and professional man, in
fact, every public spirited resident of
the community, not only in Donald
sonville. but in all the country round
about ttffie city, should deem it more
than privilege-should regard it
as matter of duty to become a
tiiSlhbSI vi ltitS I'LL pUi tetiiS VI Sttillzlt-
ton and to contribute to its uphold
ing and upbuilding at least to the ex-
tent Of the small monthly dues as
sessed.
Team work and organized effort
are always vastly more eficacious
than individual exertion, and the
most prosperous and progressive
communities are those whose people
and varied interests are combined
and united in such civic bodies as
the DonaldsonviIle Chamber of Com
meree, the mission of which is to
safeguard and promote the common
welfare.
Don't wait to be asked or urged to
Join, neighbor. II you are not al
ready member send in your applica-
lion at once; but, above all, if you
ire asked to enroll yourself in the
rood cause, don't dream of hanging
,ack or refusing. 1t is one Of the
marks of a good citizen that he is
Wiling to lend his influence and sub
tantial aid toward community en-
erprise and effort.

the motion for the following reasons: Petit
toner having stated that the reason for
which he prepared this petition and pre-
scented it to the various signers was because
he under the impression that the or
dinance referred to--being Ordinance No.
22, C. G. Series--had the effect of prevent
ing him from replacing any of the bill boards
now in existence by bill boards at the same
locations made out of other materials; and
would further prevent him from using the
same bill boards at sites other than the
present sites; and would prevent him from
erecting any bill boards at new Ioca-
tions; and being at the present moment
inclined to believe that this ordinance would
not have the effect of preventing petitioner
from replacing now existing bill boards with
bill boards of other materials at the same
locations Or prevent him from erecting airy
new bill boards at any other sites during the
present year. would it have the eject of
preventing him from removing the present
bill boards to any other sites and for these
reasons, desiring to investigate further as

discussed the political situation in

the president doesn't know about 1t

Among the assurances given by the
colonel for the consolation and edifi-

absolute hopelessness of John M.

the anxiety of the people of Missis-

A CLOSE CALL IN KENTUCKY.

For a number of years following
the civil war Kentucky was the
banner Democratic state of the Union
and gave larger maiorities to Demo-
cratic tickets than any of her sister
commonwealth.
In some recent elections, however,
Kentucky has taken on the com
plexion of doubtful state, and
there have been several occasions
when her people have been very
evenly divided in their support of
the two national parties.
The race for governor this month
was exceedingly close and the result
could not be definitely determined
until full returns had come in from
all the counties. Both sides claimed
the election of the head of the ticket,
but it finally appeared that Augustus
O. Stanley. the Democratic nominee.
had defeated Edwin P. Morrow. the
Republican candidate, by the narrow
plurality of little over 500 votes.
Mr.. Morrow has denied the report
that he intended to contest the cleo

lature Is strongly Democratic in both

The Champion AboIitionist.

The Vermilion News seems to be
in training for the championship IN
the abolition class. Among the many
things it wants abolished are the rail
road commission, the conservation
commission, the board Of equaliza-

agricultural colleges and experiment

Do You Read Labels?


food authorities are urging the
housewife to carefully read the
labels on all food articles.
The laws Of most States compel
food manuf acturers to print the
ingredi ents Of their products
on the label, and this enables
consumers to distinguish health
full foods from those which may be
deleteriouS.
High-grade baking powders are
made Of pure cream Of tartar,
derived from grapes. Royal Bak-
ing Powder is a type Of the highest
grade. It is healthful beyond q
doubt and the safest and best
to use.
The 1ow-grade baking powders
are made from alum, mineral
acid salt, or phosphate Of lime.
Consumers can learn the char
acter Of the baking powder by
ref erring to the label, which
must state whether the content
include cream Of tartar, alum or
phosphate.

VAST COAL BEDS.
Estimate Of the Coal Deposits at Rock
Springs, Wyo.

1t is estimated by the geological sur
vey that the amount Of coal In the
Rock Springs field available for min
ing-that is, within 5000 feet of the
surface and in beds IA feet or more
in thickness-exceeds 142, 900, 900, 900
tons. As coal Is fossilized vegetable
matter, the traveller, as he views the
barren hillsides where now scarcely a
living thing can be seen, may well
wonder how all this great store of
carbonaceous matter came here. These
coal beds are mute but forceful re-
minders that desert conditions have
not always prevailed in this region.
Fossil plants, such as palms, figs and
magnolias. found at many places In
these coal beds, prove that the car.
bonaceous matter of the coal accum-
ulated In swamps at a time when the
climate was as mild as that of Florida
at present.
