those children into two rooms, each

NOT TOO LATE TO INCREASE
FOOD CROPS

Young Farmer Harker of the Max
ton Scottish Chief SHES a small mon
key wrench at the machinery in head
lines as follows over news item:
commissioners appropriate $500 to
boost food production, after crops
have been planted-Rather late, it
would SEEM"
When one does not know all about
a subject oneself, it is a mark OF
wisdom to seek and profit by COM
petent counsel. The State Depart
ment of Agriculture does not think
it too late for vast amount of good
to be done by this appropriation, for
it has sent men and a woman to
help; some of the most successful
farmers in Robson who attended the
mass meeting at which such an ap-
preparation was asked for did moi
think it too late, for they voted fol
the resolution; the county farm dem.
onstrator, who has to know gooo
deal about farming to hold his job
doesn't think it too late; the county
commissioners, all but one of whom
are successfully engaged in farm.
ing, did not think it too late; and il
any one has suggested that the &C
tipn was taken too late except Edi-
tor Harker, that tact has escaped
our attention.
That action of the commissioners
strikes most people a isbeirg one
of the wisest things any board Of
commissioners has ever done. IT
should ard doubtless will result il
causing many thousands of dollar:
worth of food stuffs to be raiset
in Robson this year more than 9th
erwise would have been raised. Ag
ricultural experts are telling the peo
pie that it is not too late to plan
certain crops, and the people are
being SO impressed with the absolut
necessity of feeding themselves an,
not depending upon outside source
of supply that the food crops o
Robson no doubt will be increase
this year by hundreds of thousand
of dollars.
Maybe it would have been more ef
fective if such an appropriation ha
heen made two or three months ago
but 1T was made as soon. as the St
riousness Of the situation was real
iDed and it is a safe bet that if tn
people respond to- the appeals t
, plant more food stuffs it will prov
the most profitable investment tn
county ever made. And the interes
the people are manifesting show
that they have been aroused and al
going to raise food crops as the

NOTICE TO SCHOOL PATRONS.
Pupi!s Entering d. II. S. Must Have
Vaccination Certificates.

Every pupil who expects to attend
the Donaldsonville High School the
coming session, which opens Sept. 3,
is hereby notified that before being
admitted he will first have to present
to the principal certificate from a
regular physician of Louisiana GER
tifying that within the preceding five
years the applicant was successfully
vaccinated.
The attention Of parents is also
called to the medical and dental ex-
anrinations which were made of the
pupils near the close of the last ses-
sion. These examinations were made
by local physicians and dentists free
of charge to the pupils, and parents
who fail to have their children treated
for the defects or ailments described
in the reports mailed them are sim
gularly unappreciative of the time and
labor spent in their behalf and lack
ing in the most elementary sense OF
duty toward their offspring. The
physical welfare Of your children is
Just as important, if not more so, than
their physical condition, and whenever
development depends primarily on
physical condition, and whenever
failure or retardation in school work
is due to such physical ailments as

Virgie Back in Running.

The steamer Virgie, which was
put out of commission Tuesday after
noon of last week by the breaking of
her rudder stalk, resumed her trips
between Donaldsonville and Burnside
Sunday afternoon, the broken rudder
having been repaired at local foun-
dry and reshipped under the skillful
direction of Capt. J. G. Davidson, the
Virgie's veteran master. The staunch
little packet will leave in a day or
two for Morgan City, where she will
be placed in dry dock to undergo a
thorough overhauling. The steamer
Hustler, of Grand Bayou, arrived
here Thursday night to replace the
Virgie temporarily in the Donaldson
ville-Burnside trade, and is now being
equipped with guard rails, life pre-
servers, fire extinguishing appliances
and other paraphernalia, to conform
with government requirements for
passenger-carrying vessels.

Rice Mill Nav Not Run.

1t begins to look as though the
Donaldsonville rice mill will not be
operated this season, after all. The
announcement was made several
weeks ago by an attache of the Lou
isiana State Rice Milling Company
that the plant would again be placed
in commission, and with this end in
view the machinery was turned
over" as the saying is, and found to
be in good shape. 1t now develops,
however, that several of the largest
rice planters of this section nave al
ready disposed of their crops, and as
this will greatly diminish the supply
of rice expected to be handled by the
local mill, the impression prevails thai
the big establishment will be permit
tad TO remain idle again this season.

remunerative to attract numerous

The beneficial result Of the races
previously staged in connection WIN
