ONE GOOD TURN DESERVES
ANOTHER.

Jefferson parish has been con-.
sistent and generous friend of the
South Louisiana Fair Association, and
the jefferson exhibits at the annual
fairs given under the auspices Of that
association at Donaldsonville have
been prominent among the most at
tractive and extensive of the displays
constituting these expositions.
It is d homely axiom, accepted as
q proper rule of conduct by all right
minded persons and communities, that
zone good turn deserves another, !"
and inasn1uch as Jefferson has done
Ascension and Donaldsonvile several
good turns by helping to make our
fairs interesting and successful, it is
our duty, az it should be our pleasure,
to reciprocate by doing whatever we
can to add to the attractiveness and
success of the Jefferson fairs.
The Jefferson Parish Fair Associa-
ton is making extensive, expensive
and elaborate preparations for its
1917 fair, which is to be held at
Shrewsbury, near New Orleans, Nov.
21 to 25, inclusive, and glance at
the program and catalog win be suffi-
cient to indicate that the exhibition is
going to be well worth seeing and
taking part in.
The agricultural and woman's di-
visions are to be particularly elaborate
and comprehensive, and the ladies in
charge of the latter announce that
they have a surprise in store for the
public in the scope and extent of the
displays of women's handiWork and
industry that will be made in their
department.

SEEMED PREoccUPEED HERE.
Missing Mans Absent-Minded Air AT
tracted Attention. S

w. A. Loveland, the missing cattle
farmer of Baker, La, who disappear
ed after boarding T. & P. train here
the afternoon of Aug. 81, gave the
impression of being deeply preoc-
cupied to Theo. Ayo, chauffeur of
the II. A. Rousseau garage, who drove
him to the depot. According to Aso
Loveland arrived at the garage in his
Baby Overland at about 2:30 p. m.
Aug. 81, and after making arrange
ments for the storage of the machine,
aaked that chauffeur be detailed to
drive him to the depot in the Car.
Upon arriving at the station the
man remained in the automobile, sit
ting with his chin on his chest as
though iii deep thought, and apparent
" entirely oblivious of his surround
ings. 1t was necessary for Ago to
call his attention to the fact that the
train was approaching, and when he
finally reused himself and started up
the steps of the station he forgot his
satchel in the automobile, and would
have gone off without it had ago not
reminded him of it.
The speedometer of Loveland's car
registers 57.9 miles, approximately
the distance from Baker to Donald
aonyille. A practically new straw hat,
with the initials "W. A. W. marked
on the sweat-band, was left in the au-
tomobile by Loveland, together with
u satchel containing an implement for
branding cattle. The brand is the
letter sW" or s'M." Although his car
had fiat tire, Loveland told the
garage people not to make any repairs
TO the machine, but merely to store it
until further instructions.
Loveland was formerly real es-
tate dealer in Minneapolis, Mimi, and
came to East Baton Rouge last May
TO take charge Of several cattle farms
owned by his father. He left home in
his automobile the morning of Aug.
81, ostensibly on cattle-buying trip,
with several hundred dollars in his
rockets, and after leaving his car here
went on to New Orleans, sold cattle
amounting to $500, cashed the check
al the Hibernia Bank, and then de-
narted for Shreveport, after which
nothing more concerning him mas

THE CHIC CHAMPS COPIED THE
PENNANT.

To the innocent uninitiated among
the Chiefs readers the information is
confded that the foregoing caption
indicates in baseball vernacular that
the Chicago American League club,
the redoubtable White sox, won four
games in the series for the pennant
which is the emblem of the worlds
championship.
AS reported in our issue of October
i13, the White Sox won the first two
games, which were played in Chicago,
the score of the opening contest be-
ing 2 to and that of the second
II to g Then the New York Giants
turned the tables on their antagon-
lists by winning the next two games,
which took place on the grounds OF
the Gotham club. the scores being z
to and to respectively.
| Game No. S took place in Chicago
Saturday, October Is, and from the
way it started out the chances of the
Giants to win looked very rosy, the
score standing decidedly in their IA
vor during the early innings. The
| White Sox redeemed themselves later
on, however, and defeated the Giants
| by to 5.
Intense interest centered in the
sixth game, which took place at New
York on the 18th instant and was
witnessed by crowd of more than
10000 tfans." The Giants. again
scored the first runs but couldn't
keep up the pace, and the Chicago
team captured the deciding contest by
4 to 2. In the series of six games the
White Sox made 21 runs and the
Giants II.
For several years I'M succession the
American League has won the world S
championship pennant from the Ma
tional League, and it has fallen to the
lot Of the New York Giants oftener
than to any other team to taste the
bitter dose of defeat in these mo-
mentous struggles.
Germany's standing with the half
of the world included in the western
hemisphere is indicative Of the over
whelming verdict of humanity con-
demnatory of the Hohenzollern war
and it's brutal methods. Of the
twenty-five countries in this hen1ls-
phere fifteen have severed relations
with Germany, four are neutral with
Ianti-German leaninps, and only three
are absolutely neutral. Venezuela
is accused Of pro-Gerrnan sympathies,
but prominent citizens of that coun-
try deny the imputation.

ELECTRIC CURRENT RATES.
Reasons for Adoption of New sched-
ule Clearly Set Forth.

With reference to the new rates
for electric current announced by the
Municipal Light and Water Comnnss1r
sion, effective Dec. /, as per formal
notice appearing elsewhere in this is
sue, the following report submitted
to the commission by Supt. j. ~ .
Byrnes clearly explains why revis-
ion of the schedule of charges was
absolutely necessary both to equallze
the rates paid by different classes Of
consumers and to insure a margin, Oh
profit from the manufacture and sale
of the current:

Gentlemen AT fter q careful and
thorough survey Of the light and pow
er rates now being charged by this
commission, feel constrained to urge
that readjustment of same be made.
It is evident that the light rates are
too high, while in most instances the
power rates charged are such as to be
a losing proposition TO the plant, be-
ing lower than the actual cost OF

How To Judge A Woman
by Her Hair

There is real common sense in just
noticing whether the hair is well kept
to Judge of Woman's neatness, or
good taste. Ii you are one of the few
who try to make the most of your hair,
remember that it is not advisable to
wash the hair with any cleanser made
for all purposes, but always use some
good preparation made expressly for
shampooing. You can enjoy the very
best by getting some canthrox from
your druggist, dissolve teaspoonful
in cup of hot water. This makes a
full cup of shampoo liquid, enough so
it is easy to apply it to all the hair in
stead of just the top of the head Dan
druff, excess oil. and dirt are dissolv-
ed and entirely disappear Your hair
will be so fluffy that it will look much
heavier than it is. It's lustre and soft
ness will also delight you, while the
stimulated scalp gains the health
which insures hair growth.-Adv.

Absolutely New Method
For Superfluous Hair
(Sure Way to Remove Roots and

Goodbye to depilatories, the electric
needle, and the razor! Here at last is
method that removes superfluous
hair completely roots and all-eaSily
harmlessly, instantaneously! Nothing
like it ever heard of before.
II you'd like to try this wonderful
process, just get a stick of phelactine
from your druggist, follow the simple
instructions-and with your own eyes
see the hair roots come out! See how
perfectly smooth and hair-free your
skin will be. Phelactine is non-irritat-
ing, odorless, and SO harmless you
could eat it! 1t is so reliable that ev-
cry stick is sold on satisfaction-or-
money-back basis.-Adv.

RULES FOR NEXT DRAFT WILL
BE MORE DRASTIC.

Under the new draft rules and
regulations, effective December Is,
men convicted of failing to register
ON last June 5, will be dealt with
more harshly than under the old
.ystem. Provost Marshal General
Crowder announced that such men,
instead. of being given Jail sentences
as has been done in many cases
heretofore, will be so listed by local
boards as to insure their call with
the first increment summoned after
the new rules are put in force.
Local boards are directed not to
send the registration cards of the
convicted men to the State Adjutant
General for serial number assign
ment, but to place them at the top
of the first class liable for call.
Thus the men, it was pointed. out,
will forfeit all chances of the master
list rotation, except in cases where
physical condition or the terms of
the law requires exemption or defer
red classification.
Men now under suspended SEN
tence for failing to register also will
be listed at the top of the first class,
1t was announced.
Men subject to draft may enlist
in the branch OF the military SER
vice up to noon: December 49,; I'M

partment. AS the new draft regula-
lions which prohibit enlistment of
nen of draft age become effective on
that date it had been assumed that
the period for voluntary enlistment
would end at midnight, Dec. II.
