Many Strange Causes
are Given for Death

We we're beginning to believe
that the FLU" was the only cause
of death in our fair land, but the
editor of a monthly bulletin of
vital statistics finds the following
in reports of causes of death sent
to him:
Died suddenly; nothing seri-
ous."
Went to bed telling well, but
woke up dead"
Patient should not have died,
fully recovered from his sickness.
THE cause of death was his
mother died in infancy"
"Don't know cause of death. He
died without aid of physician"
kicked by horse shod on left
kidney
"Dled from blow on the head
with axe. Contributory cause was
another mans wife"
Deceased died from blood poi
soning caused by broken ankle
when an automobile struck him
between the lamp and radiator"

Does Your Back Ache

It's usually a sign Of sick kidneys,
especially if the kidney action is dis
ordered, passages scanty or too fre-
quent. Don't wait for more serious
troubles. Begin using Doan's Kidney
Pills. Read this mans testimony.
0. S. Daigle, captain of Ven. Fer
ry, Barton, La, says: 81 am more
than enthusiastic in praise of Doan's
Kidney Pills, because they have cured
me entirely of kidney trouble and
have had no return of it for long
time. My kidneys seemed to act too
frequently and were so weak, ! was
unable to retain The secretions at
times. NY back aehed great deal
and. when I exerted myself, it twitch-
ed something awful Someone ad-
vised me to try Doans Kidney Pills
and got box. They helped me SO
much that continued using them
until was entirely cured. / believe
Doan's have permanently cured me
and am glad to say a good word for
time.
Price SO c., at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for kidney remedy-get

The 1920 War Saving Stamps.

The, 1920 issue Of war savings
stamps will bear the portrait of
George Washington. The portrait
will be printed carmine and will be
the main feature of the design. The
present issue carries the portrait of
Benz. Franklin, said to be the father
Of thrift in America. Director Davis
pointed out that it is eminently f.it-
ting that the new issue should por-
tray Washington who was, himself, a
great exemplar of thrift.
Stamps of the new series will be
available at all postoffices, banks and
authorized agents on January l. They
will be offered Under the same terms
and conditions as the previous issues.
During the month of January they
will cost $4.12 and will advance one
cent each month through December.
The stamps mature in fve>years and
will have a value of SIS at maturity,
the interest rate being about the
equivalent Of four per cent COM
pounded
The larger denominations of $1OO
and $1,000 are known as Treasury
Savings Certificates. The 500 Ger
tifcates will be availible at postof-
fees and the $1,000 denominations at
banks.
Preparations are being made by
the War Loan Organization for car
rying on the thrift movement
through 1920 along somewhat SINH
lar lines as at present.

Fine Christmas Trade.

All Of the merchants Of Donald
sonville report exceptionally fine
Christmas trade. The weather was
fair and the roads good and people
came from far and near to do their
shopping. All Of the stores were
crowded with buyers and despite the
thigh price of everything, everybody
seemed to be we'll supplied with
money and sales in all lines were
brisk. The demand for toys was un-
usually large and extended from the
|high-priced dolls and mechanical de-
vices which delight the youthful
heart to the cheap tin. and wooden
playthings which are SO popular with
very little children. Sales of winter
clothing, hats, and shoes were also
very good, and those stores which
out on special holiday bargain offer
ings were rewarded with an excep-
tionally gratifying business. On the
whole the merchants Of Donaldson
vile, without exception, are well
satisfied with their Christmas 1919
trade.

THE FARM AND THE. FARMER.
Agriculture the Only Business That
Is NOT Organized.

e'The farmer is he worlds greatest
buyer
"The farm is the bread-basket of
the world !
''The farmer needs the support of
every thinking person right NOW
agriculture was the worlds first
occupation. And it will survive and
| be the last, in case others cease.
''The world must be fed.
agriculture is the only free trade
on earth !
Investigation during the war,
when we were told we had to curb
our appetites, showed that the rea-
son for high price of food was ma
turally, its scarcity. It showed
alarming acreage that had been de-
serted.
Gone great reason, besides the high
cost d4 labor, was the general exo-
dus of the rural population of larger
centers. Teachers, preachers, lect-
urers and journalists pointed out to
the youth of the farm the possibili-
ties of the city, so that they might
become powerful and influential in
the eyes of the world. Cartoonists
added fuel by depicting the farmer
as a "rube" or ''hayseed"-ignorant,
easy and equipped with the chin
whiskers of a goat, until the sensi-
tive boy longed for the day when he
Icould go to big city.
s'This made the supply of food
less and the price higher.
''1n passing let us say that this is
the city man who shows his ignorance
when he visits the farm.
'tThe man hardest to wake usually
is most active when he once gets his
feet under him. And the farmer is
gradually, but quickly, becoming
aroused.
agriculture is about the only
business-for it is business, if not
u science--that is aeot- organized.
The day is surely coming when this
cannot be said The Dakota devel-
lopement proves this.
Before the farmers of the United
States can produce two or four times
more per acre than they do now, as
| some European countries had to do
to keep alive, they must be assured
| of at least as decent an income as
1.-THE city men are getting today, or
| they will have to let the cities feel
| the pinch of hunger.
The farmer will be the last to
lsuffer for the want Of food.
The past two months decline of
food stuffs is absolutely unfair to the
farmer We think it. has declined
fully 80 per cent, while organized
labor has shown advanced salary in
cfeases.
The farmer is today a dissap-
pointed manand rightfully so. The
fact that he is not organized prevents
fus ai from feelfng this. An empty
stomach brings any person to his
Isenses
Not alone must he have good
roads, the chance for study at agri-
cultural colleges, liberal education
on the practical treatment Of farms
$50 that farming may be made a pay
| ing profession, but he should have
a greater representation in our legis-
latures.
Above all, we must give the far
mer the chance Of marketing his
goods at profit as all businesses that
sell to him expect to make a profit.
Let US aid him by making a true
vision possible.
IF we fail to do this, farming
must naturally decline, and the coun-
try suffer.

WooDMEN OF THE WORLD.
Adopts Plans and Rates to Conform
With Laws of All States.

J. C. Bouchereau, clerk of Olive
Camp No. 18, Woodmen of the World
has addressed circular letters to the
members of the camp, advising them
of certain changes inthe constitution
made necessary by the laws in force
in nearly every state in which the
order does business.
In making the changes, plan has
been adopted which settles for all
time the question of rates, and COM
plies with the insurance laws of all
states, and the members are given
the opportunity to select any one of
five options, which are in brief as
follows:
Option No. l, gives the death and
the modified disability; but does not
provide for the monument and in
stallnent benefits. Lien will De
charged against the certificate at the
rate fixed.
Option No. 2, gives the death, the
m onument and the modified disability
benefits. Lien will. be charged against
the certificate at the rate fixed.
Option No. 8, gives the death, mon
ument and installment benefits. The
same benefits as provided for in the
certificates now held. Lien will be
charged against the certificate at the
rate fixed.
Option No. a, gives death and mod
flied disability, with no lien charged
against the certificate. The rate to
be paid is fixed, without monument
If monument is desired, a different
rate is charged. If this option is Sc
lected, new universal certificate will
be issued in lieu Of the present one
Option No. S, gives the death,
monument and installment benefits !;
the same as the certificate now held,
and no lien will be charged against
the certificate.
The letter states that any men,
ber who does not fully understand
the changes proposed under the op-
tions given, is invited to call on Mr..
Bouchefeau, who will cheerfully give
any explanation desired.

PONDER SOUGHT N. o. SUPPORT
But Did Not Get 1t, and is Now Fight

NUMBER 20.

The latest "strong' SUPPORTER Of
Parker for governor, charged with
having solicited the New CLEANS or
ganization's support for chief execu-
tive, is: Amos L. Ponder of Amite
City. In a speech delivered before
an audience of over 1000 people at
Jeanerette. few days ago, James
Wilkinson read letter written by
J. E. Brewster, sheriff of st. Tam
many parish to Col. Frank P. Stubbs
on Oct 20, 1919, which is in part as
follows:

fganization in the city of New Or
LEANS, with the object and purpose OF
having these gentlemen give him
their support for governor-the same
gentlemen that he classes today as
1ringsters. He further stated he was
strong in the Sixth congressional

Ecould get from other sections of the
Estate, they would have no trouble in
Ielecting him governor.

NEARLY FREE FROM TICK.
Six Parishes Remain Under Quaran
tine-Much Territory Cleaned dip.

Louisiana failed to win complete
freedom from the cattle fever tict
this year, but it made remarkable
strides toward that goal. Only seven
parishes are left under the Federal
cattle tick quarantine, They are
Acadia, Bossier, Evangeline, st. Ian
dry, St. Tammany, Vernon and
VIM
The following parishes were re-
leased from the Federal quarantine
December 1, last: Assumption, Iber-
ia, Lafayette, Livingston, Nachi-
toches, Plaquemine, Rapides, ST.
Martin. St. Mary, Vermillion and
West Carroll; and the remainder of
Ascension, Ibcrville, St. James. and
St. John.
Federal officials had hoped that all
Louisiana would be placed in the
free-from-quarantine area this year,
thus widening the tick-free highway
to the Gulf of Mexico made when
Mississippi drove out the tick. The
greatest reason why complete sue
cess has not been obtained is ascrib-
ed to failure of local officials to en-
force the local quarantine and dip
ping laws. 1t is expected, however,
that 1920 will see all remaining areas
cleaned up. At least, that is the con-
fident hope of the federal officials,
