should be proud of but what he earns.

Ladies, Listen.

Some ladies are of the opinion that
registration embodies wide scope of
pledges which will compromise them
for life. In behalf of the Council of
Defense, and as plea for our gov
ernment, let me urge the women to
investigate this matter of registration,
and am sure they will be present on
Oct. II at their respective precincts
to register.
The registration is compulsory, but
it is not the intention of the govern
ment to call on any woman to do any
thing that is contrary to her inclina-
ton. 1t is only means of ascertain
ing the possible woman-power of the
country in case of need.
The signing Of the food cards
simply pledges the home to cooperate
with Mr.. Hoover in the work of con-
serving food, and while not compul-
sorry, it is a patriotic act that every
housekeeper is anxious to perform.

First Cool Spell of Season.

The first touch Of winter was ex-
perienced here this week, tempera-
ture of II degrees having been
recorded Wednesday morning by Lo-
cal Observer Alfred Landry's govern
ment thermometer. This was a drop
of fourteen degrees as compared with
the reading at the same hour Tuesday
morning. It is said light frost was
visible in some sections, away from
the river, but no record of such q
visitation was obtained by Mr.. Ian
dry. The cool spell was Of short dura.

Arrested for Larceny.

Vito Salite and Joe Trapani, young
Italians of this city, were arrested
last Saturday afternoon by Sheriff E.
c. Hanson and Police Officer Lucien
Acosta, Jr., charged with pilfering au-
tomobile tires, castings and parts from
the cars of John T. Woods, of We'll
come, and Deputy Sheriff Ed. Smith,
of Gonzales. All of the stolen prop
erty was recovered, part Of it being
found at Salite's home, and the re-
mainder in the quarters occupied by
Trapani. Salite admitted his guilt
when taken into custody, and made a
confession to the officers in which he
implicated Trapani. The thefts were
effected on Friday while the automo-
biles of Messrs. Woods and Smith
were parked outside the South Louis
lana Fair grounds. Extra castings
were taken from each of the cars,
and in addition grease cups, hub caps
and other parts were removed from
the Smith machine. A little negro boy
employed to watch the latter car was
despatched on numerous errands by
Salite and Trapani, in order to give
them an opportunity to make away
with the casing and parts during his
absence, and it was this circumstance
which was largely instrumental in en-
abling the sheriff and Officer Acosta
to locate the guilty persons. A charge
of larceny was lodged against them.
and they were released on bond of
$3.50 each. Both Salite and Trapani
operated jitneys during the fair, the
former driving his own car, and
Trapani machine owned by someone
else

Donaldsonville police force, has filed
suit for libel against George Lam
dry, proprietor Of the Welcome Saloon

amount of $25D0 are sought by the
complainant. IT is alleged in the pc
tition that ''on, or about the hour of
IL o'clock p. m. on Saturday, March
81, 1917, the said George Landry,
without any just cause or provoca-
ton, did, in the barroom of said

famatory of petitioners good name.
fame, credit and reputation, by rea-
son whereof he has been injured and
damaged in the full sum sued for"

mentioned" continues the petition,
"and the uttering of the slanderous,
malicious, libelous and defamatoly
words aforesaid by the said George
Landry in loud and audible voice in
the presence and hearing of large
number of people in his said barroom,
place of public resort, were intend
ed by the said George Landry to de.
prive petitioner of his good name.
fame, reputation and credit, and to
bring him into scandal and disrepute
among his neighbors."

man of family, and has always en-
| joyed the esteem and confidence OF

coLoRED PATRIOTS HoNoRED
DRAFT Quota Given Rous;no sepd.oH
Upon Departure for Camp Pike.

The first contingent Of colored Sc
lectnlen to go from Ascension for
service in the new national army de-
parted from Donaldsonville Sunday
afternoon for Camp Pike, Ark. There
were seventeen men in the detach-
ment, comprising twelve per cent OF
the total number of negroes drafted
| in this parish. Only one of the men
summoned to constitute the increment
failed to report. This was Peter
Rucker, of Smoke Bend, and his place
was taken by Norsey Larks, of Con
zales, first on the list of alternates.
Headed by the Claiborne Williams
brass band and the members of the
exemption board, and accompanied by
/ a number of the members of their
race, the selectmen marched from the
courthouse to the depot. Hundreds
of coiored citizens had assembled at
the station to bid the men goodbye,
and the demonstration was in every
respect as enthusiastic and patriotic
as on the occasion of the departure of
the white draft contingents. Elo-
quent talks were made by DIR. J. II.
Lowery and j. S. Brazier, prominent
colored citizens of Donaldsonville,
who exhorted the departing soldiers
to so conduct themselves as to reflect
credit upon themselves and their par
ish, and to uphold the best traditions
of their race for bravery in war and
unselfsh sacrifice in the service of
their country. Rudolph j. Jackson,
of Donaldsonville, was placed in
charge of the detachment, with Dee
Logan, of McElroy, as second in COM
Imand.
At noon the members of the squad
were entertained at an elaborate
banquet at the True Friends Hall,
funds for the feast having been raised
by subscription among the colored
population of the community. Pa
triotic addresses were delivered by
DR.. Lowery and E. D. Wright, and the
affair was credit to those entrusted
with it's planning and management, as
well as source of much pleasure to
the guests of the occasion. Among
the latter were negro se1ectmen from
Assumption parish, who had arrived
here in the morning and were invited
to participate in the spread.
A patriotic club has been formed by
representative colored citizens Of
Donaldsonville, the object of which
lis to arrange farewell demonstrations
on the occasion of the entrainment
of future contingents of negro draft
men, and to keep in touch with the
colored soldiers from Ascension par
ish at the training camp and else
where. Eddie Duffel is president Of
the organization and w. E. Sullivan

Gently advanced from great junior

sycamore of the Louisiana reserva-
ton Of Red Men, paid his first official
visit in the latter capacity to his home
tribe, Mohawk No. 33, Tuesday night

Keeper of Wampum F. L. Trepagnier
First sannap Elphege Dugas, and
"Private" Henry Duke, all of Mohawk
Tribe. The consolidation Of Deia,

LIBERTY. LOAN DRIVE.
Active Campaign for Subscription

Active Campaign tor SUBSCRIPTIONS
Contemplated in Local District.
President Albert Delery of the
Commercial and Savings Bank of Dom
aldsonville, who has been designated
to direct the sale of Liberty Loan
bonds in the parishes of Ibervi5le, As
cension, st. James and St. John, is
making efforts to organize a staff OF
assistants who will take charge of the
campaign in the respective parishes
and institute an active canvass for
subscriptions to the loan. Cashier
Barker Of the Peoples Bank of
Plauuemine has consented to head the
crusade in Iberville parish, and the
appointment of patriotic bankers or
other citizens to conduct the drive in
St. James and St. John will be an
nounced by Mr.. Delery in the course
of the next few days.
With view of arousing interest IN
the movement and stimulating the sale
of bonds locally, Mr.. Delery has ar
ranged with. the proprietors of the two
motion picture theatres to permit the
delivery of four-minute talks on the
subject of the Liberty Loan be-
tween performances Sunday evening
and at other times during the coming
week. Mayor E. K. Sims, and Messrs.
Walter Lemann, Sidney A. Marchand,
B. j. Vega and G. D. Bentley are the
speakers so far secured, and others
will be enlisted.
In order to inject "pep" into the
campaign it is probable that big
rally will be held here Sunday, Oct.
81, when speakers from outside points
will make addresses.
Mr.. Delery went to New Orleans
this morning to confer with the CEN
tral committee in charge of the drive
in the New Orleans district, and will
return tomorrow.
Ascension is counted upon to sub
scribe to at least $4,000 worth OF
bonds, and if everybody will do their
share and display the proper spirit OF
patriotism and loyalty, there is nc
good reason why this goal should moi
be readily attained, if indeed it is moi
SURPASSED.

ILLUMINATING STATISTICS.
Saving of Vast Quantities of Staple
Food Easily Possible.

A striking illustration Of the vast
saving that can be effected in the
consumption Of foodstuffs by the
practice Of just little economy on
the part of everyone, was given by
Edward O. Wild, Of New Orleans, in
the course Of talk delivered at the
South Louisiana Fair last Saturday.
The population Of the twelve parishes
embraced in the membership of the
South Louisiana Fair Association, to-
falling 548,444, was taken by Mr..
Wild as a basis for computation, and
the three principle articles of food
sugar, meat and bread-were cited
as examples Of the commodities that
can be largely conserved.
A saving of one-haIf of an ounce
of sugar per day by each person in
the territory named would amount to
E17,139 pounds daily, or total of g..
355,735 pounds in the course of 9
year.
On a basis Of six persons to the
family, if each family should reduce
/ it's daily consumption Of meat by ont
pound, the saving thus effected woule
aggregate 9146 pounds day, or 5,
33s,92O pounds year. If but on
ounce Of meat were saved daily b.
each family, the total for a yea
would reach 2s,643 pounds.
Cutting down the quantity o
Ibread eaten daily from Is to /:
ounces, would mean total of 1868,
Ids loaves saved in twelve months
equivalent to 8511 barrels of fou
containing 1915 pounds each.
