RED CROSS NOTES.
By MRS. E. c. PUJos.
; b ~ A%$$%% A%%AA q

Beginning next week, meetings OF
the Red Cross will be held on Mondays
and Thursdays as in the past, with an
additional meeting on Wednesday.
The demands upon our branch are
growing every hour, and | wish to
make an earnest appeal for greater
effort on the part Of the faithful mem
bers, and to beg that the many who
have not yet been to headquarters,
will come. Humanity calls you.
There is room and work for all, and a
most urgent need for your services.
We have been sending in large
shipments of surgical dressings and
knitted and hospital garments, but we
want to double the amount in the fu-
ture. Recent consignments included
70 sewed and 1854 knitted garments.
of these, the Junior Red Cross
Auxiliary Of the St. James High
School contributed the following: q
sweaters, 8 pairs socks, l wrlstlet, Q
helmets, 2 bed shirts, 3 quilts.
A reorganization of the surgical
dressings department has resulted in
the appoin tment OF Mrs. Abe Bloom
enstiel as chief Inspector, with. Misses
Juanita Noel and Matt Colomb as
assistants on Monday, Mrs. ". s.

Let's Make it Unanimous.

Not much is being said about the
election to be held in the First Road
District next Tuesday, when the
property owners of the district will
make known their wishes relative to
the issuance of an additional series
of bonds aggregating $4,000 in
amount, for the purpose of improv-
ing and maintaining the gravel roads
in the district. Doubtless the PROPOSE
ton will be adopted without much be-
ing said, since all the voters seem to
favor it. Few improvements of a
public nature have been of as much
benefit to that portion Of the parish
embraced within the limits Of the
First Road District as the construc-
ton of the hard-surfaced highways
along the river and on both sides of
Bayou Lafourche, and having ex-
perienced the material blessings de-
rived from the possession Of these ex-
cellent thoroughfares, there can be no
doubt that the progressive citizens of
the district will almost unanimously
vote to supply the additional funds
necessary to restore the roads to first
class condition and maintain them in
that shape hereafter.

Miss Una Leblanc, the prepossess-

terry of the local Catholic church at
5 o'clock Tuesday morning, Rev. c.

ly after the ceremony the happy cou-
pie left for a honeymoon trip to sew
eral points in Texas, where they will
be entertained by relatives of the
groom Upon returning to Donald
sonville they will make their home
with the BRIDES parents for the time
being. In common with a host of
friends. the Chief takes pleasure in

NIIsCOf II 10Y AL

II resi1lt elle ion held hi
Wisconsin April ID to fill the vacancy
in the United States senate caused
by the death Of Senator Paul Q Hus-
ting, indicates that very large ma
iority Of the voters OF that state are
true to their country and not IN SYM
pathy with the erratic course and un-
natriotic utterances Of their other
senator. Robert M. Lafollette. Prac-
tically full returns show that Con-
pressman Irvine IL. Lenroot, Repubil-
can. was elected BY. 148,244 votes;
that Joseph E. Davies, Democrat, re-
ceived 136,575 votes, and Victor L.
Berger, Socialist, polled lO3,43l.
Thus the Republican candidates ma
iority over his Democratic opponent
was nearly 10000, and the latter dis
tanced the Socialist by over 33, 600.
Estimating the combined vote Tor
the Republican and Democrat as
representing essentially the patr1otlc
citizenship Of the state and the vote
for the Socialist as combining the
pacifist and possibly disloyal elements,
| It would appear that Wisconsin IS
loyal by over 10000 majority, and
that the Reputation of Lafollette
eyinced by the Republicans of the
state in their March primary was en-
phasized and accentuated by the out
come Of the senatorial election.
The Socialist mayor of Milwaukee,
Daniel w. Holm, who was accused
during the campaign Of pro-German
proclivities, was reelected by 21lo
votes over Percy Bremen, non-par-
tisan candidate, but the Socialist can
didates for the other city offices were
defeated and the council remains un-
changed politically with 10 non-par-
tisans and IL Socialists.
Judge Marvin b Rosenberg was
reelected to the supreme court, de-
feating Charles Fl. Crownhart, the
Lafollette leader, by more than 40,-
900 majority. On the whole, Wis
consin did well and if her senior SEN
ator does the right thing he will
either recant or resign, for he has
been discredited and repudiated by
his constituency.

WHERE DO YOU STAND?

"He that is not with me is against
me !'-St. Luke XI:23.
These are the words of our Savior,
uttered nearly two thousand years
ago. By this sweeping declaration
He divided all of mankind into TWO
classes.
Today the United states-your
country-faces the greatest crisis IN
it's history. These words are echoed
from the early days Of the Christian
era and ring out from Washington to
every corner Of the country.
You are either for your country or
against it. You are either American
or pro- German. There is no middle
ground-no halfway stage. Ihefe
was none then. There is none now.
Where do you stand? Are you
with YOUR country or against it?
American or pro-German? Your
answer should be in terms of service.
If you are American, DO something
for America.
Liberty Bonds give you the op-
portunity to serve your country
show the world whether you are for
America or against America. BY
subscribing to Liberty Bonds to the
| extent Of your ability you can public
Ily demonstrate that you are not
against your country, not serving
| German autocrats. Show where you
stand. so that your children will not
have to bear the stigma of being the
sons and daughters of disloyal par
ents. Give your children and grand
children a glorious heritage.
Out of the abundance your coun-
| try has given you, return something
| to your country. 1t merely takes
willingness to allow the government
the use Of your money You get 4 a
per cent interest IN the investment.

DOING THEIR PART FOR NATION.
Good News from Local Boys with
Uncle Sans Fighting Forces.

Recent letters from Clarence and
Emmett Cary, sons of Capt. and Mrs.
W. S. Cary of this city, who volun.-
teered their services to Uncle Sam at
the beginning of the war, convey the
gratifying information that both OF
the gallant young men are well and
getting on nicely in their respective
spheres of effort. :.
Lieut.. Clarence Cary, commanding
the u. S. torpedo boat DESTROYER
Dahlgren, somewhere on the Atlantic,
writes enthusiastically of his boat,
which has speed Of nearly 80
miles an hour when under full steam.
He gives special praise to his crew,
which he declares is composed OF as
fine set of men as could be assem-
bled on any vessel. They are well
drilled, and attend faithfully and
Loyalty to all their duties. The
Dahlgren feels able to do her bit to-
ward subduing the submarine menace.
Emmett Cary, who is in the 44th
Aero Squadron at Dayton, ONO, mas
been promoted to master signal
electrician and is chief instructor IN
aerodynamics and the care and re.
pair of airplanes. He has about
twenty assistant instructors under
him. They teach the squadrons sent
to that camp. This instruction calls
for knowledge of about two dozen
different trades.

Capacity for Belle Helene.

J. A. Lorio, superintendent of the
Belle Helene factory, was transacting
business here Tuesday and favored
the Chief with pleasant call. We
learned from Mr.. Lorio that Kra-
.jewski crusher is being installed at
Belle Helene and that as result of
the improvement the capacity of the
mill will be increased by something
like $50 tons daily, enabling the
grinding of 1000 tons Of cane every
twenty-four hours. Last season
Belle Helene ground 100000 tons, and
the season before $4,000 tons. The
crop in sight for the coming season is
estimated at $4,000 tons, of which
10000 tons will be obtained in the
territory contiguous to the company's
own railroad, which touches both the
Y. & M. v. and Z. r. & N. lines.

According to Joe Ably, the order Of

The Donaldsonville chief., 1918-04-20

The situation on the western bat
tie front in Europe is still grave and
crucial. The Teuton hordes have
made further gains in their desperate
offensive, but the Allied lines still
hold, and the liberty-loving peoples of
the earth wait with deep anxiety the
turning of the tide which must
eventually come to overwhelm the
brutal Huns and make the world safe
for justice, democracy and humanity.
The Donaldsonville chief., 1918-04-20

The question which now confronts
America as nation, and you as an
individual, is whether or not free
America is worth fighting for! The
question cannot be answered by
word Of mouth, but by deeds alone.
Let your answer be your investment
in Liberty Bonds.
The Donaldsonville chief., 1918-04-20

Be thrifty as well as patriotic.
Order your coal now.
The Donaldsonville chief., 1918-04-20

Some people look upon every duty
as a task. They are afraid of a lit
tie work or trouble. They are slug
gish. They think of the bother.
"Bother," when our boys in the
trenches are ready to make the su-
pren,e sacrifice if need be! Such peo-
pie convict themselves on the spot
They belong to the class who give
nothing to the country which gives
them everything.
