GOOD LUCK, BOYS!

Speaking for itself and the entire
community the Chief bids the young
men Of Ascension's first contingent OF
the selective draft army, who have
gone into active training for service
responsive to their country's call, q
hearty Godspeed and goodbye.
We wish these worthy representa-
tives of our patriotic and loyal citizen,
shin the best of luck while away, and
sincerely hope they will all return
home in good time, enjoying the
blessings of health and full physical
and mental capacity for the labors
and duties of the future which they
will be respectively called upon TO
perform.
That these young men and those @
the later contingents to follow them
will comport themselves with cour-
ace and credit and uphold the highest
traditions Of Ascensien's soldlery we
feel wholly confident, and the sense of
nride with which their departure on
the first stage of their journey ''to the
front" is viewed by the people of the
parish will only be excelled, we be-
Ieve, by the greater pride and JOY to
be exhibited when the gallant "boys"
come home again at the close of a
brief, glorious and victorious struggle
for liberty and humanity.
Good luck, boysi

SAVE FEED BY
USING THE SILO

The gilo offers the best means oil
conserving the farm feed supply. Il
enables the farmer to save the feed
stuffs for the future use OF his farm
animals in much the same manner
that the canning machine enables the
housewife to save the vegetables and
fruits for the future use of the fam.
lily. The present and prospective high
prices and the growing demand for
farm products of all kinds make 1t at
once to the profit and the duty OF
farmers to increase in every way the
efficiency of their operations. To the
dairy farmer, at least, the silo ig es-
sential to efficiency. It's advantages
are too numerous to fully enumerate
here. Suffice it to say that expert.
n1ents have proved that silage will
greatly reduce the cost of feed for
dairy cows and increase the milk pro-
duction. It is palatab1e feed, keeps
the stock in a thrifty condition, and
the young stock growing all winter.
1t Is more conveniently fed than hay
or corn fodder. Silage enables one to
keep larger number of live stock on
a given area Of land than may be
kept on forage crops cut for hay. II
furnishes succulent feed during the
summer when drouths frequently oc-
cur. it prevents the waste of corn
cobs, stalks and overripe fodder that
would otherwise not be eaten by the
animals
II you contemplate building silo,
write to the Extension Division of the
Louisiana State University, Baton
Rouge, for complete information,
which will be furnished free of
charge.

Eanized Next Saturday.

Pursuant to the proclamation issued
by Governor Pleasant, arrangements

inc, of citizens of Ascension parish to

SLACKERS WANTED!

Not the kind who are trying by
various pretexts to dodge their ma
tons call and to escape the obllga
ton resting upon every loyal Anlerl
can to do his share toward perpetual
ing our free governments and making
the world safe for democracy" be-
cause that breed of slackers is an alb
omination in the sight OF all red
blooded men and women and IS not
desired anywhere.
But there is another class of slack
ers" wanted in Donaldsonville. The
reckless 'sjoy-riders" and thoughtless
automobile owners and chautfers who
are in the habit Of speeding their cars
along the city streets without regard
to municipal regulations, the dictates
of common prudence or the safety and
rights of pedestrians, are warned to
become slackers with reference to
their lawless rate of locomotlon and
to "play on the soft pedal when
traversing the public highways with
jim the corporation limits.
Mayor Sims, Chief of Police Dill
and the other officers of the city gov
eminent are making an earnest effort
to break up the dangerous practice
of speeding" on the streets Of DON
aldsonville, and in this commendable
procedure they will have the appro-
baton of the community and the CO.
operation of all conservative and
automobiles. Several
violators of the city ordinance which
fixes a maximum speed-limit of ten
miles per hour have been called to
account recently, and rigid enforce
ment of the wholesome and necessary
municipal law is to be continued with.

SECOND LIBERTY LOAN.

The unofficial announcement comes
from Washington, predicated on a
statement from Secretary of the
Treasury McAdoo, that the second
Liberty Loan is toIbe called by the
United States government on Octo-
Der /, and that the subscription books
will probably remain open only dur
ing that month.
The exact amount OF the loan has
not yet been fixed, nor has the rate
Of interest been formally designated,
but it is considered virtually certain
that the latter will be four per cent.
Patriotism and prudence combine
to recommend investment in these Sc
curities, and the people of the United
States have every incentive to sub
scribe to the second Liberty Loan to
the full extent of their available
means.
