4. The potatoes should be re-

Last Call For Big Bargains.

The big ten-day forced sale which
was inaugurated at David Israel Ave
nue. drygoods and shoe store Friday
of last week will come to close next
Tuesday. The store has been crowd
ed every day from morning until
night by people from far and near
who come to avail themselves of the
exceptional values offered at this big
event. Mr.. Israel declares that
nothing approaching this big sale has
ever been staged here before-it is
the biggest money-saving proposition
ever put on in Donaldsonville and the
general public who know bargains
when they see them are taking ad-
vantage of the opportunity presented
to stock up on fresh seasonable goods
at prices which have not prevailed
since before the war. He advises all
those who have not already done so
to call at his store and get a few of
the unheard of values which make
this sale so attractive. There is a
large force of extra clerks to at
tend to the wants of customers.

The Constitutional Convention.

Among the many ordinances in
troduced before the Constitutional
Convention this week, the following
are of unusual interest:
An ordinance providing that any
sheriff who permits the lynching Of
"a prisoner or person in his custody
shall ipso facto forfeit his office.
An ordinance requiring the regis
tration of all automobile and motor
car licenses by the sheriffs and tax
collectors of the several parishes, and
another requiring the payment of all
such license taxes to the treasurer
who is to turn the funds back to each
parish where collected for exclusive
use on public roads.
~ An ordinance providing that
where seventy-five per cent Of the
number of registered voters in the
state or in any district, or parish or
municipality thereof, shall be affili-
ated with any one political party,
there. shall be no primary election in
the state, or in the district, parish or
municipality as the case may be, and
in such case the legislature shall
provide for election of said officials
at the general election by first and
second choice voting"

Fire Prevention in Schools. :

e.
State Fire Marshal Conrad j. Le-
cog, announces that with promises
of cooperation by Thomas H. Har-
ris, state superintendent of public ed
ucation, his Office is preparing to in
troduce regular course in fire pre-
vention in the public schools Of Lou
isiana.
Mr.. Lecoq holds that fire preven-
tion is primarily a matter of educa-
ton and that, though he realizes that
the public school curriculum is al
ready badly crowded, yet he thinks
the Importance of the subject de-
manded that such a course be given
a regular place in the schools.
Mr.. Harris agreed and recommend
ed that the fire marshal prepare about
10000 copies Of pamphlets, setting
forth minutely the magnitude. and
cause of the nations and states
losses by fire, with practical recon-
mendations for obviating or reducing
slch losses. The superintendent furth-
ermore, recommended that a regular
program be rendered in the schools
on "Fire Prevention Day." October
3, the anniversary Of the great
Chicago confagration.

CASE REHEARING.
Commits sioner Taylor Struck in the
Face by Opelousas Man.

Arguments pro and con in the ap-
plication for a rehearlng OF the teie-
phone case consumed nearly the
entire day before the Railroad Com.
mission last Tuesday. The ot1lces OF
the rail body were crowded with peo-
pie from all parts of the state who
went to Baton Rouge for the pur-
pose of joining in the universal pro,
test against the hasty and UNJUST
decision of the commission and IN the
general demand for rehearing OF
the case. The proceedings were pune
tuated with many personal tllts pe-
tween opposing counsel and members
of the commission, which eliminated
in an assault by W. F.. Brown on
Chairman Shelby Taylor of the com
mission after the adjournment OF that
body. Mr.. Brown without warning
struck Mr.. Taylor in the face. By
ISLANDERS interfered and put an end to
the encounter. The affray is said to
have been entirely unjustified and
very much deplored by all those IN
terested in the case. Mr.. Brown was
hailed before the police court the
next morning charged with disorderly
conduct. He pleaded guilty and was
fined SIS. He paid the fine. The
telephone rate case is under advise
ment and Chairman Taylor announc-
ed that no order would be issued be-
fore Monday or Wednesday.
After adjournment of the COM
mission Commissioner Huey T. Long
made the following statement:
$50 far as / am concerned L have
cast my vote for re-hearing. My un-
derstanding is that the other two COM
missioners are giving the matter con-
sideration and will announce their po-
sition within a few days. On the rec
ord and arguments which were made,
together with the expressed desire OF
the people to be givn an opportune
hearing, l cannot help but hope that
either one or both of my associate
commissioners will cast their vote in
favor of re-hearing.
eff on the re-hearing the additional
testimony should convince me that
the Cumberland Telephone and Tele-
graph Company should have a raise
in rates, then my sworn duty would
compel me to change my vote; in like
manner, if a re-hearing be granted,
and the additional testimony should
convince my associate commissioners
that the raise in rates should not be
granted, under their oaths they will
be compelled to vote against the
raise"
The general opinion prevailed in
Baton Rouge Tuesday night that the
opponents of the increase in tele-
phone rates had made strong and
sensible request for re-hearing
that a good case had been made and
that the application should be grant
ed.

"Tod" Landry's Home Robbed.

At an early hour Thursday morn
ing, the home of T.. S. Landry,
familiarly known as "Tod" Landry,
near Waggaman, was broken into
and robbed of jewelry valued at sew
eral hundred dollars. Determined to
run down the thief, Mr.. Landry
wired to Mr.. Grant at CRYSTAL
Springs, Miss, requesting him to
come down at once with his blood
hounds. The dogs arrived Thursday
afternoon and were Immediately put
to work by Sheriff Daneuhouer and
several of his men. After circling
about the Landry home for while
the animals seemed to take up the
scent and went to the residence of
Edmond Mitchell, negro at Wag-
gaman. Mitchell was taken from his
bed and search of the premises
made, but none of the missing articles
were found. Despite a severe grill
ing Mitchell maintained his inno-
cence. 1t is feared that the blood
hounds may have trailed the wrong
man. Mr.. Landry formerly resided
in this parish. For the past several
years he has been employed as mana
ger of Willswood plantation near
Waggaman.

THE ERADICATION OF TICK.
Cooperation Among Farmers Neces'
sary to Complete the Work.

| This league is composed of farmers
and persons interested in the cattle
| industry who believe that the cattle
tick can be eradicated in season it
the farmers take hold of the work and
dip all the cattle reglarly. These men
met in Baton Rouge last August on
call by Governor Parker and, after
careful consideration of the facts,
organized and set to work. The
league found on investigating the
causes of the present troubles in the
dipping of cattle that the lack of tact
and diplomacy on the part Of vat IN
spectors has been the chief cause.
Second to this has been indifference
and incompetence of number of IN
spectors. Third, has been failure
to educate the people and properly
explain the reasons for the procedure
followed in the dipping.
To correct these weaknesses, the
league has had conferences with state
and National authorities and the fol-
lowing important things have been
agreed to:
l.. In the future, inspectors and
officials will appeal to reason and
common sense, and only after these
fail will there be resort to atfidavlts
and fines.
2. A committee of farmers at each
vat will represent the people and the
inspector will consult this committee
and cooperate with it in everything
that has to do with administering the
law at that vat.
8. The people may choose, and they
are urged to choose, one Of their
number who will be instructed in the
duties of an Inspector, how to charge
the vat, and how to make a report.
He will be given the necessary instru-
ments, for testing the vat. Then if
for any reason the inspector is not
present, or the dipping should be pre-
vented on the regular day for any
reason, it could proceed the next day
under the local man thus qualified,
and his report would be official in
every respect.
4. The Tick Eradication League
holds itself in readiness to investi-
gate any case of partiality, failure to
dip, inefficiency of inspectors and
supervisors, or any other point on
which individual farmer or groups of
farmers request the leagues action.
The league will act for the farmers.
1t will investigate and set. the matter
straight by having real evils elimated,
information supplied, and generally
assisting to do the work with the
least possible trouble and expense.
| We ask our farmers to read over
this program carefully. 1t is pro-
gram that appeals to reason and COM
mon sense. On ..1nhe basis Of reason
and common seIgrs the farmers and
officials can co4n trata, and accom-,
plish something. aa aha mop,p people have
already done more work than is nee
essary to complete the job, but be-
cause they did not work together,
the job is not completed. We ask
that the farmers get together in real
team work, pull together one season,
and finish the job. The league will
have an. article in the next issue Of
The Chief.

STREET. BUILDING SUGGESTION.

Elsewhere in this issue OF Inc
Chef appears a communication sign
ed Taxpayer" in which the writer
suggests that instead of paying the
Bitulithic people to resurface Rail
road avenue and Mississippi street,
that the concrete be dug up and
crushed and the material thus OBJ
tained used in graveling these streets:
In view of the fact that it is proposed
to gravel all of the streets OF the
Gown, and that gravel is less expen-
sive than Bitulithic pavement, the
suggestion of Taxpayer is not with,
out merit and might be worthy OF
attention. Experience has proven
that Bitulithic pavement does not
make a permanent roadbed. Ine
two strees in this city were paved IN
1907, fourteen years ago, and in spite
of the fact that considerable money
has been spent in their maintenance
and repair they are in very bad con-
dition today. If the streets must be
sepaired every few years, it might be
well to choose the less expensive
material for their construction, which
ut the same time will prove less ex-
pensive to upkeep and maintain.

POOR TELEPHONE SERVICE.
Value of Time Wasted in Trying to
Get disconnected"

Evidently the people of the town
of Ruston are having their share OF
trouble with the telephone company.
Their grievance is based upon the
poor service rendered and particu-
larly the great difficulty and time
wasted in trying to get "disconnect-
|ed'' after a connection" has been
given. The Leader published in that
city, has come out in favor of a more
|modernly equipped exchange and has
the following to say about the present
poor service given:
'sHave you ever talked to a party
over the phone and after ringing-off
tried to get another number?
elias it ever happened to you that
the hardest thing ever was is to get
disconnected under such circum-
stances?
cost it is to the nerves.
eve believe this is occasioned by
the old style system of telephone ex-
change given us by the Cumberland
Telephone Company.
I'm a previous editorial, The Lead
er advocated making fight for more
up-to-date telephone instruments
for a flash light system. These pub
lie utilities seem to. give nothing but
what the public forces from them.
Rarely is it that the public convent
e:,ce is sought.
"What a flash light system at Rus
ton would mean to the business in
terests in the saving Of time would
more than pay for the effort expend-
ed in making fight before the Rail
road Commission for this improved
equipment.
"We have experienced the locs of
ten minutes five times in one day.
This means ten minutes less than one
hours time wasted. Say your time
is worth to you 81 an hour. There
are three hundred and thirteen work
ing days in the year and you have abb
solutely lost 1913.
"Ruston must save itself this
waste. We are going ahead and we
mean to keep going aheads
Everyone in the town should
make it his business tosgo after this
improved service in the telephone
system here. After all it is your
business-let us attend to it,

CARDINAL GIBBONS DEAD.
Eminent Head of Catholic Church in
America Succombs at Baltimore.

James Cardinal Gibbbns eminent
and distinguished head of the Catho-
lie church in America, passed peace
fully awey at his home in Baltimore,
Thursday at 11:30 o'clock a. M, at
the advanced age of 81 years. Car
dinal Gibbons was born ina Baltimore
of Irish parentage, July 23, 1884.
He was ordained a priest of the
Roman Catholic Church June 80,
1861; was consecrated bishop in Aug
ust, 1868, and became archbishop Of
Baltimore, then the highest ecclesi-
astical dignitary in the United States,
in 1877. Eleven years later he was
created cardinal in Papal recognition
of his services to the church.
AS senior bishop of the church
Cardinal Gibbons welded a strong in
fiuence outside as well as within the
church. He was the confidant of
three popes, and made several impof-
tant tours to Rome, the last being in
August, 1914, few days after the
outbreak of the world war, and was
active in his work for the allies dur
ing the great conflict.
On Oct. 21, 1918, he celebrated
his 50th anniversary as bishop Of
Baltimore. The event was attended
by ecclesiastics from all over the
world, and he received among many
kther gifts the decoration of Grand
Officer of the Legion of Honor from
France. Italy also conferred dec
Grafton upon him. On June 80, 1919,
he observed his 33rd anniversary as
cardinal-archbishop. CARDINAL Mer-
cier, the heroic primate of Belgium
visited him on this occasion. He
was friend of Presidents Roosevelt
and Taft. He always took an active
interest in public affairs and his
views on political, economic and
sociological questions were frequent
ly sought by newspapers. In inter
views he endorsed the plan for the
establishment of the Jewish Home
land in Palestine; he opposed the
government ownership of public
utilities, maintained that prohibition
meant "the invasion of home and
sacramental practice" condemned
divorce, praised the work Of the SAX
walton Army in France, favored
American military training implored
the clergy to fight Bolshevism, de-
manded that the Turk should be
driven from Europe and appealed to
the public to support Americas en-
trance into the League of Nations.
The deceased cardinal was loved,
admired, respected and esteemed by
people Of all religious creeds and poll
tlcal beliefs and his death has cast
deep gloom over the entire country.
