THE Devils Daughter" picturized
for VIM. Fox, is a screen play Of tre-
rnendOus force and unfOrgettably
powerful in its depletion Of an evilly
beautiful siren, who like the LAMA of
ancient Greek mythology is half SER
pent and half woman in her nature.
1t is doubtful if anywhere on earth,
an actress could have been found ex-
cept the famed Theda Bara, possessed
of the febrile art and sinister beauty,
requisite to portray The Devils
Daughter
Miss Bara's works in parts Of this
type has become world famous from
such productions as "A Fool There
VAS in which the French leading
lady in the part Of fascinating dia-
bolical temptress has won intefna-
tional fame In "The DEVILS Daugh-
ter" she portrays this character far
better than in any of her other sue
cesses. This brilliant modern society
drama will be offered at the Colonial
Friday and Saturday.

DOLL AND TOY FUND.
Poor Children to Receive Visit from
Santa Claus at Christmas.

One of the most beautiful and
practical charities which graced the
Yuletide season in Donaldsonville
last year was the free distribution Of
dolls and toys to the poor children of
the community by the Woman's Civic
League. So successful was the ex-
pertinent, and SO large was the meas
ure of happiness conferred upon
many destitute little tot who other
wise would not have known the inn
measurable joy of a visit from Santa
Claus, that it has been decided to re-
peat the distribution this year, and a
fund for the purpose is herewith
opened. The Civic League leads off
with contribution of SIS, and Walter
Lemann, Jr., and little Miss Emma
Roos Lemann, the winsome children
of Mayor and Mrs. Walter Lamann,
send SO cents each.
The Chief will act as treasurer for
the fund and will receive and acknowl-
edge all donations. Everybody is in
vited to help, whether in the form Of
contribution of any amount, sug-
gestlon for ways of raising the fund
needed, or even letter of praise for
the cause. The aim is to provide
sufficient presents SO that not one de-
serving child in the city will be over
looked, and the fund should not be
overlooked by any who can help it.
Send. in your contribution, no matter
if only attIAite; it will be TIP means
of making some poor kiddie happy,
and will increase by just that much
the number of lucky ones who will
receive gifts from Santa Claus at.
this distribution.
The list of contributors to date is
as follows:

THANKSGIVING DINNER.
Home Economies Class Hostesses at
Delightful Function.

The senior class of the home
economics department of the Donald
sonville High School entertained at
dinner on Tuesday evening. Those in
vited to the repast were W. B. Stuart,
president of the school board; Alex.
Bloomenstiel, president Of the Cham
Der of Commerce; E. N. Pugh, local
member of the school board; Supt.
H. P. Broussard, Principal R. S.
Vickers, Rev. R. H Prosser, Father
Minor Chauvin, Rev. 7. D. Lipscomb,
E. J. Mccall, president of the South
Louisiana Fair Association; G. D.
Bentley, of The Chief, Mayor Walter
Lemann, and Adolphe Meter, presi-
dent Of the police jury.
A Thanksgiving menu was served
as follows: Oyster cocktail; cream of
tomato soup, with croutons; roast
turkey, rice and nut dressing; cram
berry jelly; caramel potatoes; petit
pois; whole wheat bread and butter
folds; Waldorf salad; fruit, jelly,
with whipped cream; silver cake; cafe
noir, olives, and mints.
Owing to the lack of dining-room,
one corner of the large basement
kitchen was screened with vines, ferns
and cut flowers. The Thanksgiving
spirit was carried out in the decora-
ltions as well as in the menu Every.
thing was prepared by the girls in the
class room, and they were amply re-
paid for their efforts in the praise
given by the guests, who did full JUS
tice to the dinner served. The girls
in the class were Misses Lillian Folse,
Byrdie Casso. Abbie Allen, Royal
Casso, Rosie Richard, Alma Bourman,
Grace Duke, Alice and Bessie Younge.
There is no more important branch
of the local public school than the
home economics course conducted by
Miss Adeline LaGssse, who in addi-s
ton to instructing the girls in cook
ing teaches them sewing. This de-
partment is in need of many facili-
ties and these were pointed out to
the guests, who at once suggested
that a dollar dinner be given for the
benefit Of the department. The pu-
pills enthusiastically endorsed the
proposition and promised to cook the
very best meal possible, and any one
desiring to know how good meal
that will be is referred to those who's
were so fortunate as to be honored
rby the home economics class last
Tuesday

SUBMITS CLAIMS TO VOTERS.
Sheriff Hanson Asks Reelection and
Points to Record in Office.

-
There appeared for the first time
lin last weeks Chief the formal an
nouncement Of Edward c. Hanson as
candidate for reelection to the Of
flee Of sheriff of the parish Of AS
cension. We promised then to COM
ment later on this candidacy.
The announcement of Mr.. Hanson
is in the natural order of events.
Having filled the Office most credit
ably for the past eight years, and
being now in the prime and vlgof OF
young manhood, it would require a
| lengthy explanation to his friends
and the people generally if he were
to decline to submit his name for re-
election.
The manner in which Mr.. Hanson
has discharged the duties incumbent
upon him during his tenure of the
sheriff's office bespeaks for him the
earnest consideration of the voters
and citizens of the parish. He has
made hundreds of staunch friends
since his advent into public life,
friends of the type that when weigh
ed in the balance are found not want
ing, and who will rally to his support
with enthusiastic determination and
exert their best endeavor to land him
q winner for the third time in the cor
test for the responsible office to whays
seeks reelection. O.
Few officials in this parish-or athef
other parish, for that matter-haFe
made such an enviable record as has
Mr.. Hanson. Few officials can look
L. - II
ways been SOS duttidnff dur faithful to
every trust related in them. The
record is indeQ,0 Zone to which Mr..
Hanson can point with pardonable
pride, and that it is unassailable from
any standpoint is attested by the fact
that in the campaign now in progress
not one word Of criticism has been
uttered concerning Mr.. Hanson's
filled 50 capabA il or the manner in
which he has @ ainissauIra. its affairs.
It is conceded the redactis most ar
dent political opponents that he has
rendered faithful and efficient SER
vice in the past, and that, if again
honored with the confidence of the
people, he will continue to keep TIN
watch and ward over their intereg:
and the general welfare of the cofAes
munity.
Of Mr.. Hanson personally it is
scarcely necessary to say anything,
for almost everybody knows him and
his friends are countless. He is a
native Donaldsonvillian descendant
of one of the oldest and most prom
inent families of this section, and
has ever borne an unblenlished
reputation for integrity and upright
ness, not only in politics but in all
the affairs Of life. He is a man of
fine appearance, vigorous health, and
cool and courageous demeanor, all of
which are most desirable attributes
for an executive officer.
Mr. Hanson's candidacy is before
the people and it is useless for The
Chief to speak further of his qualifi-
cations. His record in Office is suf-
ficient testimony of his worth, and if
a volume of words were to be written
commencing he candidacy to the ia
vorable consideration of the voters,
a better Endorsement could not be
contributed than to say that if re-
elected he will prove himself entirely
worthy of the trust reposed in him.

My dear Mr.. Lemann: AS YOU

ing the beginning of September for
the city of New Orleans to enter a
new field of endeavor The work in
which am engaged developed to
such an extent that it is a permanent
position, and my family has joined me
in the last ten days.
Due to the fact that my work in
this city necessitates my entire at
tention, it is but proper that since
am unable to discharge the duties in
cumbent upon me as commissioner of
finance of the city Of Donaldsonville,
| take the privilege of rendering you,
the presiding officer, my resignation
as member of said body, its accept
anee to be acted upon at your dis
erection and in accordance with the
laws governing such bodies.
Allow me to state, Mr.. Lemann, as
coming from one who was member
of your cabinet from the very be-
ginning of your administration, that
it is a source of much regret to me
to sever very pleasant relation with
a body of public servants whose aims
and ambition at all times were the
upbuilding of the city Of Donaldson
Vile.
With kindest regards to you and
Mr.. Frank Milano, | am.
Yours very respectfully,

This completes the improvement of
the school property, which now rep
resents a total investment of about
$4,000, all paid for, including an acre
of land for school grounds and the
agricultural demonstration farm of
ten acres. The farm is enclosed with
a substantial fence, and is provided
with modern barn, high grade live
stock, complete equipment of farm

vat. The latter has been donated to
the parish land made a public vat,

RUNNING ON HIS RECORD.
Capable Official Seeks Endorsement a
Hands of Voters.

A. A. King, who is presently serv-
ing his second term as assessor of
Ascension parish, announces his can
didacy for reelection to that office
through the medium of card APP
pearing in the announcement column
Of this paper. We feel that words
of introduction are not necessary in
speaking of Mr.. King, for his duties
have taken him into every section of
the parish and he is well and favor
ably known to majority of our peo-
pie. A successful farmer and bust
ness man, he has always been a lead
ing factor in promoting the public
veal, and has done much to aid in
the development of the rural sections
of the parish. o
through his many acts of friendli-
ness, courteous bearing and efficient
conduct of his Office, Mr.. King has
established commendable record as
a most capable and accommodating
official. He is never too busy to give
his personal attention to the business
of his office; he is never so pre-oc-
et@ied as to turn down the request
OF anyone in search of information,
anu Iol THESE reasons he Is neld IN
the highest esteem by those who daily,
weekly and monthly associate with
him in his official capacity.
The office of assessor is one of
great Importance, and upon this public
servant there rests obligations and re-
sponsibilities which when discharged
faithfully and efficiently rebound to
the welfare of the entire parish. Mr..
King points to his record and activi-
ties in this capacity as measure of
his fitness for the place, and promises
that, if honored with reelection, he
will continue to serve the people to
the very best of his ability and to
give his earnest and impartial atten-
ton to all matters pertaining to his
office.
Nj. King respectfully solicits the
support of the sovereign electorate
of the parish, believing that if devo-
ton to duty, careful study of the
obligations devolving upon him, long
experience and faithful service are
entitled to reward, then, BY past per-
Torrance and present. fitness. he is en-
titled to be reelected.
The Chief takes pleasure in COM
mending his candidacy to the serious
consideration of the voters.
