The Donaldsonville chief., 1917-10-20
QUICKER ACTION IMPERATIVE
Less Than Half of Ascension's Lib.
erty Bond Allotment Subscribed.

President Albert Delery of the
Commercial and Savings Bank OF
Donaldsonville, who is directing the
Liberty Loan drive in Iberville, AS
Icension, st. James and St.. John par
ishes, reports that the total subscrip-
|tions to date. in Ascension approx
mate $27,0O0.i The amount of bonds
|apportioned to this parish is $64,197,
hence less than fifty per cent of the
allotment has been disposed of, with
only one week of the campaign re-
naming. A more liberal support of
the loan is imperative if Ascension is
to measure up to what is expected of
her, and it is earnestly hoped there
will be large increase in the number
|of applications received during the
coming week. The banks have on
hand supply of the bonds in various
denominations, and purchasers of the
certificates may gain possession of
them at once if so desired.
Cashier Ed. F. Follett of the Bank
of Vacherie has consented to perform
the patriotic duty of securing sub
|scriptions for the bonds in St. James,
and has instituted an active campaign
to place his parish in the front ranks
of those which will oversubscribe their
allotment of the issue.
Four-minute talks in behalf of the
loan were made at the Grand Theatre
last Sunday night by DR.. E. K. Sims
and Walter Lemann, and at the Gem
Theatre by G. D. Bentley. On Thurs
day night Edmund Maurin addressed
the audience at the Grand on the same
Isubject. Similar talks will be given
at the. Gem tomorrow night by Messrs.
Sims and Lemann, and at the Grand
