HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.
(Communicated.l

Despite the inclemency of the
weather, the football game between
the White Castle High School and the
IDonaldsonville High School teams
was played as scheduled last Tuesday
evening. Owing to the mud and
slush, the game was not real test
of the ability of the respective teams
The visitors had the home boys on
the defensive during the greater part
Of the game, and finally won by a
score of so. Comparative scores,
however, give the Donaldsonvi1le
team the advantage, since its eleven
defeated White Castle by a score of
12 to in their first game about
week ago. A third and deciding
game may be arranged for some day
n the early future.
The pupils are imbued with the
play spirit and are making good and
proper use of the playground mate
rial purchased by the school with
funds raised by contribution Of 25
cents each from more than 200 boys
and girls. Two volleyball courts
have Deen made, and Instructions
have been given about the game.
Four games Of playground ball,
several dodge ball games and foot
ball practices make good healthful
exercise. It is planned to make fur
ther additions to this group of games
so that every pupil of the school will
be able to be in play group at re-
cess time.
Elsewhere in this issue of the
Chief will be found a notice of
the auction sale to be held next
Friday afternoon at $50 o'clock in
front of the Grand Theatre. This
auction will be under the auspices of
the School Improvement League and
is for the purpose Of raising funds
to liquidate the debt now existing on
the school piano. The league is
making every effort to help the
school, and the public should give it
hearty cooperation and support.
One good way Of showing proper
school spirit is to attend the auction
sale, join in the fun and help the
cause.
Besides the auction, ''tag day" is
planned for next Friday. The pro
ceeds derived from the tags will be
applied to the auction fund

New Industry in Town.

A new industry was recently es-
tablished in this city with a very
modest beginning, but with possibili-
ties for growth and development
which are unlimited. Elray Kocke,
the old reliable junk dealer, has for
some time been engaged in buying
pecans. He bought all that he could
get and paid fair prices therefor, and
when he had acquired about two car
loads, he branched out in the pecan
shelling industry He fitted out a
plant in his large warehouse in the
rear of his residence at the corner of
Mississippi and Lessard streets, and
began the work Of shelling pecans
with the assistance of eight girls.
This number has now increased to
fourteen, to whom he pays salaries Of
not less than So per week. Mr..
kocke has sold his entire stock of
nuts to the New Orleans Praline
Company, which concern undertakes
to take all of the pecans that he can
furnish, and he is in the market for
all that he can obtain. Mr..
hocke deserves much credit for the
spirit OF enterprise displayed in this
matter, which besides being a fair
paying proposition to him, furnishes
to a number of girls at
reasonable wages, thus placing con-
siderable money in circulation. It is
industries of this kind which carry
good-sized weekly payrolls, which are
needed IN this city, and every en-
couragement should be given to pro-
gresslve men like Mr.. Kocke who are
willing to bring and establish them
here: The Chief congratulates it's
good friend, and wishes him unquali-
lied success in his venture.

frivolous farce of feminine foibles.
1t is IN three acts and the scenes are

with the farcical adventures of Gar
ry Ainsworth, young benedict, who
is confronted on his honeymoon with
the evidence of an old indiscretion.
The evidence in this case is a pink
garment, which he had unwittingly
given to beautiful and charming
widow. Mabel threatened to show it
to Gary,s wife and the show starts.

fun as any farce in recent years, The
production is costly and elaborate

j splendid move, and one which is des
tined to rebound to the material wei
| fare of the parish. Mr.. Stuart is {
! planter and business man and finan
cier of extensive experience, and his
long connection with the school
board, first as a member and then as
it's president, has afforded him an ex-
ceptional opportunity to familiarize
himself with conditions throughout
the parish, and today, he is one of
the best posted men on the affairs Of
Ascension.
During his long service on the
school board he proved himself ac-
tive, diligent and painstakfng in the
performance of the duties devolving
upon him, always having an eye sin
gle to the best interest of the schools
and their patrons. During his ad-
ministration, considerable progress
was made in the public schools and
educational system of the parish, all
of which stand today as a living
monument to his zeal and industry.
1t is safe to predict that he will give
to the police jury the same devotion
and the same untiring effort which
brought crowning success to his work
on the school board. Owing to the
constantly increasing demands which
have been made on the police jury
for appropriations for works of va
rious kinds during the past few
years, that body has found it i'm.
possible to keep within its revenues,
and as result the parish today
finds itself heavily in debt. With
such a man as Mr.. Stuart at the
helm; man who enjoys the conf
dence and respect of the entire peo-
pie, there is every reason to believe
that ways and means will be devised
to liquidate the indebtedness of the
parish and place it's finances on
cash basis in the early future.
The Chief congratulates the police
Jury upon its election of Mr.. Stuart
to the presidency, as being move
in the right direction and for the best
of the parish, and it also
aongratuiates Mr. Stuart upon the
we'll deserved honor which has been
conferred upon him. The honor, it
S true, carries certain responsible
lies; but we predict that the new
president will assume these respon-
sibilities and discharge the duties of !
he office with the same credit to
1imself and satisfaction to the peo-
Die which characterized his presi-
lency of the school board.
