Rai., and Cold.

One Of the heaviest rains of the
season fell here last Saturday night.
1t was a vefitable cloudburst. The
rain was followed by a strong south
east wind which shifted to the north,
and the thermometer dropped rapidly
until it reached freezing Sunday
night. Monday there was plenty OF
ice. The cold weather continued all
Of this week. Fruit trees and early
vegetables suffered considerably as a
result Of. the cold. The sugar
cane and the rice which had al
ready come up are not believed t.
have been affected. The rain caused
another interruption in field opera
tions of all kinds.

Can't Find Service Men.

Nearly one-third of the former SER
vice men who were insured by the
Bureau of War Risk Insurance can
not be reached by mail at their old
addresses, as shown by the letters re-
turned to the bureau as undelivera-
BILE. This fact shows the state of
transition following rehabilitation of
our forces. The problem confronting
the bureau, is to find these men and
bring home to them the Importance
of insurance reinstatement, as many
soldiers upon discharge from the SER
vice dropped their insurance.

MAY HAVE HOMESTEAD
ASSOCIATION.

| A homestead association is one OF
the possibilities for Donaldsnville in
the early future. The establishment
of an organization of that kind In
this city has been discussed on many
occasions in the past, but owing to
general financial depression nothing
definite was ever accomplished. NOW
that this section is enjoying a period
of great prosperity, the time is deem
ed opportune for the revival Of the
project and hope is entertained by
! the promoters that Sufficient interest
might be stimulated among the busi-
ness people of this vicinity to make
it an assured fact.
There is unsuestionably a splendid
opening for homestead association
here. Other towns of much less con-
sequence than Donaldsonville have
had institutions of this kind in their
midst for years, and all have prosper
ed from the very inception, and all
are now we'll established institutions
in their respective localities. There
is no reason why corporation OF
that kind could not be successfully
organized in this city, end why it
should not do well from the very be-
ginning, considering that this section
offers a practically unlimited field
for operations.
1t is sincerely to be hoped that the
meeting at the Elk's home tomorrow,
called for the purpose of Disgusting
the launching Of such an enterprise
in Donaldsonville, will be largely at
tended and that the proposed home
Lakead association will materialize and
Bon be numbered among thsestable
and fourishing institutions of this
city,
