CASH-YOUR CASH NEEDED

Don't kid yourself on your
loyalty to your government.
All the declarations Of loyalty,
in the universe, won't win the
war without a liberal foundation
and overlay of cold hard cash.
You are not 100 per cent loyal
until you have demonstrated that
loyalty by subscribing every pen
ny you possibly can towards the
nations call for funds. And
when you are subscribing, open
wide the throttle of your con-
science see that loyalty has the
right of way. Penuriousness
should not, at this critical time,
be allowed to don the garment of
Prudence and dictate the limit
of AL possibly can spare. -
Remember, it's YOUR war
YOU stand shoulder to shoulder

Our streets should be our pride.
Main street is kept up in good
shape and presents a nice ap-
pearance, the second important
street of the town, Center, is
marred by the ditch, which could
just as easy be used as a lateral
from the Union canal on another
street further east.
The new common council should
get busy on a proposition to put
Center street in such good con-
dition for travel and beauty that
will win the compliments of the
strangers who visit US, instead
of their condemnation.

FRENCH LAUD SAMMlES

Nothing will strengthen the

French officers who have seen
our troops in action at the front
are delighted with their fine
spirit. Since they are fighting
together the French begin to ap-
preciate the Americans eager

eyesore on the center street of
the town, especially when cleaned
out and the dirt piled in embank-

ugly appearance.
Either the ditch should be re-

from the Union canal, or it

Wherever there is destruction
of property, thrift must replace
it. Waste is waste and cannot
be recovered. Thrift alone can
build up what war tears down.
Whatever of good can be CLEANED
from a disaster, it is the duty of
everyone to CLEAN. Thrift is this
thing, and can best be cultivated
by taking advantage of the gov
ernment's War Savings plan.

! D. II. S. NOTES.
By PRINCIPAL r. S. VICKERS

The result of the recent contest be-
tween all the high schools of the state
in the sale of thrift and war savings
stamps has finally been announced
The figures sent out by the state de-
partment show that Donaldsonville
with total sale of $3.50 was sur
passed by only two other schools,
Minden with total of S14,284, and
Morgan City with a total of $13,S15.
When the comparative sizes of
these three schools are considered, as
we'll as the relative resources of their
respective communities, it will be seen
that our boys and girls worked fully
as hard and accomplished proportion
ately fully as much as either of the
| other schools.
Much to the disappointment Of the
Id. H. S. Cadets, it has been annoknc-
led in the press that the state ralt at
Baton Rouge has been called off for
this year because of the inability to
secure railroad rates. Our anticipat-
ed triumph in the competitive drill at
Baton Rouge must therefore be fore
gone and we shall have to look for
whatever consolation is possible to the
parish rally which will be held in
Dutchtown the goth of next month.
At the recent conference of princi-
pals in Gonzales it was decided that
physical exercises shall be made a
parts of the regular progran of the
rally this year and count for a proper
number of points. AS our school is
the only one in the parish that has
instituted systematic physical exer-
cises, we shall win this event in g
walk. Furthermore, as a result OF
their training the boys are all physiJ
lcally fit and with the regular exer-
Acises now alternating with games and
track athletics they should soon be in
condition to excel in many of the
athletic events. Dutchtown High
won the meet last year, notwithstand-
ing we easily took the lead in literary
events. This year there should be a
different story to tell in the final re-
suit.
The teachers Of the Donaldsonville
High School who some time ago
volunteered their services to the gov
|'ernment to fill out the indexes of the
draft questionnaires have at last been
called upon to fulfill this patriotic
duty. The teachers have been look
ing forward with much pleasurable
anticipation to this opportunity to
serve their country, and they hailed
with joy Sheriff Hanson's announce
ment that he would be ready for them
next Monday afternoon-especially
those who have begun to find the
|lengthening afternoons rather dull
and tedious.
