fence that .he believed such troop
could be organized.
While in Des Moines Saturday Mr..
Wiltamuth called on ,Adjutant General
Logan, and explained the plan to him.

help as much as possible.
With this in view another meeting

them when they return. A good deal

VALUE OF FAIRS.

There has been some inclination
here and there to indulge the mistaken
idea that the holding of parish and
district fairs-such as the one an
nually conducted by the South Louisi-
ana Fair Association at Donaldson
vilIe-lnight well be suspended until
after the war The thoughtless theory
on which the idea rests is that the
time, money and effort expended in
getting up and conducting these en-
terprises might be employed to great
er advantage in other ways.
The fallacy Of this impression and
the relevancy of the undoubted fact
that fairs are more valuable, and
necessary now than ever before are
plainly and cogently set forth in the
following article, clipped from the
editorial page of an unidentified con-
temporary:
Nothing connected with the in
dustrial life Of the people Of this
country is of greater Importance at
this time than the parish and neigh
borhood fairs. Whatever else we
may be tempted to neglect the fair
should not be allowed to suffer. Every
effort should be put forth to make the
fair this fall bigger, better and of
more far reaching influence than any
previous effort.
"At this stage of our history the
big question, the question that over
shadows all others, is that of produc-
ton. We must produce, and produce,
and keep producing. In time past this
passion of production was based large
ly on desire; we desired the fruits of
our labors for our qualification and
pleasure. Now, however, we must
produce as matter of elf-preserva-
tion. Indeed, the issue of the great
European conflict will turn largely
upon the producing capacity of the
United States.
"The normal human being never
outgrows his desires for appreciation
of his efforts. The desire to excel,
and to hear from ones neighbors and
friends an appreciation of this ex-
cellence, is a most potent factor in
stimulating effort. The big hog in the
pen does not give us near the salts
faction that it does when we see it
decorated with the blue ribbon. We
appreciate the fine poultry in the
chicken yard, but are doubly proud
Of them in the ribbon-d coop.
In short, achievement with apprecia-
ton is but half success.
''Then the spirit of competition will
carry us long way on the road to
successful production. A desire TO
excel our neighbors is powerful
stimulus The friendly rivalry for
nominal premiums spurs us to unusual
efforts.
$50. in order that production in the
United States may be stimulated to
the greatest possible extreme, let us
carefully cultivate this the greatest
stimulating influences-the parish
fair"
The Donaldsonville chief., 1917-09-22
PRESIDENT WILSON TO OUR
SOLDIERS.

The president of the United States
has issued the following earnest and
eloquent address "To the Soldiers of
the National Army"
sfYou are undertaking great duty.
The heart of the whole. country is
with you. Everything that you do
will be watched with the deepest in
terest and with the deepest solicitude
mot only by those who are near and
dear to you, but by the whole nation
besides. For this great war draws us
all together, makes us comrades and
brothers, as all true Americans felt
themselves to be when we first made
good our national independence. The
eyes of all the world will be upon you,
because you are in some special sense
the soldiers of freedom
"Let it be your pride, therefore, to
show all men everywhere not only
what good soldiers you are, but also
what good men you are, keeping your
selves fit and straight in everything.
and pure and clean through and
through. Let US set up for ourselves
a standard SO high that it will be a
glory to live up to it, and then let US
live up to it and add new laurel TO
the crown Of America. My affection
,ate confidence goes with you in every
battle and everN test. God keep and
guide youn'
Again, in letter to Thos. l..
Chadbourne, Jr., of New York city,
chairman Of the mayors committee OF
national defense, President Wilson
sent an inspiring and sympathic mes
sage to the New York contingent OF
the national army that marched down
Broadway $4,000 strong last week on
it's way ''to the 'front.'" and was ac-
claimed with enthusiasm by two mil
lions Of people. The president wrote:
"Please say to the men on Septem-
ber 4 how entirely my heart is with
them and how my thoughts will fol-
low them across the sea with con-
tidence and also with genuine envy,
for l should like to be with them on
/ the fields and in the trenches, where
the real and final battle for the in
dependence of the United States is to
be fought, alongside the other peoples
of the world, struggling like ourselves
to make an end of those things which
nave threatened the integrity of their
territory, the lives of their people,
and the very character and independ-
ence of their governments. Bid them
Godspeed for me from very full
! Heart"
The sentiments expressed by the
president in these noteworthy utter
ances are those of The loyal people Of
America, and they furnish inspira-
ton not only to the gallant troops
who are to uphold the honor and glory
of our country on the battlefelds of
Europe, but to all lovers of liberty
and Justice throughout the civilized
| world.

ROOSEVELT TO RUSSIA.

There was published in Petrograd
this week heartening and inspiring
appeal to the Russian people from the
pen of Theodore Roosevelt. In a let
ter to the Russian foreign minister,
Michael I. Terestchenko, Col. Roose-
welt expresses highest hopes for the
democracy Of Russia, asserting that
Americas experience proves that free
dom can be maintained only where
self-control exists and where the ma
tion itself is master of it's passions.
The concluding paragraph of the
characteristic utterances of this typi-
cal American patriot and representa-
tive citizen Of the world is a declara-
ton as forceful and direct as it is
true:
"All who aim at compromise peace
are the enemies of freedom and JUS
tice. The only guarantee of future
freedom is a complete victory over
Germany and the Hohenzollerns." :"
The Donaldsonville chief., 1917-09-22
RUSSIA REDIVIVUs!

Russia has been proclaimed as
republic by the provisional govern
anent headed by the brilliant and IL
trepid young statesman, kerensky
and general election for legislative
assembly like the United States con-
gress is to be held throughout the
country in November.
The attempted revolution headed
by Gen. Korniloff has collapsed and
the leaders of the movement are under
arrest.
After a series Of retreats before
the advancing Teutonic forces the
Russians in the Riga region have
stiffened their lines and have made
successful counter attacks at several
points.
For a time it seemed as if the mad
ness of anarchy and the cross pur-
poses Of the various political parties
and factions in Russia were likely to
wreck the provisional government and
result in endless and hopeless confu-
sion, but recent developments are OF
much more promising and encourag-
ing character, and there is basis for
confidence that order will yet be re-
stored, effective government establish
ed and the military strength OF the
big country reorganized and render
ed capable of doing its fair share IN
defeating the Teutonic scheme OF
world domination.
