Burnside Notes.

Among the many immediate rela-
tiyes and friends who followed the
Bergeron-Letulle wedding party from
St. Mary chapel to Burnside station
last Thursday ,>was Mr.. and Mrs. Sam
1 Boudreaux, and their pretty little
daughter of Sorrento. The newly
weds were pelted with an abundance
of cheap rice {all cheap noW) while
! boarding a Valley train for Vlcks-
burg, their future home.
! In my notes last week | gave a
list of the rice growers on the Miles
property this year, but the following
names were left out "Hiriard and
Robert" Orange Grove and Clement
Brou and Son, Clark. With this cor
rection the veterans are all properly
! located for the new year.
c. A. Keller, who signed con
tract to build one mile of road front
ing Riverton and Hillaryville, spent
! the entire week here waiting for al
engineer to lay off the work. Mr..
Kellar lost time and money telephon-
ing to the highway department Ill
New Orleans with no results. The
work on the last link Of the Jefferson
Highway in Ascension is being delay
ed because of no survey and speclfl-
cations furnished by the highway
department.
There will be change of city ad-
ministration of the affairs of Donald
sonvjlle, after May 7, next. Will the
mayor to be elected be man or a
woman? A gentle or Jew, Demo-
rat or Republican. The election is
80 days off. In the meantime there
will be a primary. Will Democrats
and Republicans each hold one Of
their own?
From the standpoint of the jelly
bean and red-blooded sport and all
those we'll supplied with money, the
era of silk shirts and 500 shoes has
not passed away. There will always be
suckers who will bite at high price
goods; but it's their right and privl-
lege to do so, let them rip.
As one of the many friends and
great admirers Of Theodore S. Wiki
son, who died last Tuesday, [ cannot
refrain from expressing by astonish-
ment over the fact that the only
morning newspaper published in the
largest city in the south, should have
failed to make mention of his passing
away. The Times-Picayune did not,
either in its news columns or editori-
ally take notice that the state had
lost one of it's most distinguished cit
liens. l will say in French 'c'est
encroya BILE"

Roth--Landry.

James Roth of Baton Rouge and
Miss Irene Landry of Geismar, were
quietly married at the Catholic
church at Prarieville, last Wednesday
evening at o'clock in the presence
of few friends. After the cere-
mony the newly welded pair motor
ed to the Capital City where they will
make their future home. The Chief
extends hearty congratulations and
anent the happy event.

The Texas Oil Company is erecting
in this city another tank for the
storage of refined oil, with capa-
city Of $4,000 gallons. The compile
ton of this reservoir will double
their present storage facilities which
consists of two tanks of 10000 gal
Ions capacity each. This is strong
evidence of the fact that the COM
pany is doing a prosperous and ever
increasing business with the local
dealers.

POSTAL SAVINGS INCREASE.
Department Issues New Card. Splen
did Business Done at Local Office.

The United States Postal Savings
System is today marking its tenth
anniversary by issuing new postal
savings card which will displace the
/ 1O-cent postal savings card which has
been in use since the establishment
! of the System on January l, 1911.
The new card will be furnished
| free of cost and when ten 10-cent
postal savings stamps have been af-
fixed to it it will be accepted at any
! depository office as a deposit Of 81
or it may be redeemed in cash. The
outstanding feature of the new card
is the translation into tWenty-four
foreign languages Of the statement
that the faith Of the Uited States is
solemnly pledged to the payment Of
deposits made with the System.
As predicted by its proponents in
the days before the passage Of the
original Postal Savings Act, our
foreign born citizens have been the
principal patrons of the System.
Taught in their native countries to
look to the Government to safeguard
their savings, they naturally expect
this Government to do lieWise. In
the present flood tide of immigration,
each newcomer as he leaves the port
Of entry, receives leaflet in his own
language outlining the method of
operation of the United States Pos
tai Savings System and urging upon
him the desirability of continuing in
this country the practice of thrift
which has been so necessary in the
country he has just left. The Ser
vice is, therefore, one of the most
potent factors in furthering the
Americanization movement.
Many banks, usually savings banks,
prior to the establishment of the Sys-
tenn felt that the Postal Savings Sys-
tenn would be strong competitor
but experience has shown that the
Postal Savings System draws it's pa
irons not from depositors in estab-
lished and well-conducted banks but
from among those who otherwise
banking institution whatever.
The original act Of Congress re-
stricted the total amount to be placed
on deposit at $500 and the deposit Of
this amount was limited to not more
than SIOO per month. Later the
monthly limitation was entirely re-
moved and the maximum amount in
creased first to $1,000 and then to
the present amount, $25O0. Post
master General Burleson, in the an
nual report just submitted to Con-
gress recommends increasing the
rate Of interest to be paid depositors
and action bv CONGRESS- will no
doubt, be taken along these lines
within the near future.
Following is a summary of the
postal savings business at the Donald
sonville post office for the month of
January 1921:
Balance on deposit Jan. /, $37, 10000
Deposits received during
the month S13.2S7.00

Take in Big Marcus Show.

Leon Levi, 1sidore Marx, David
Israel, Henry Maurin and James Won
Lotten, motored to Plaquemine last
Sunday afternoon in the latter's new
Stephens car, and witnessed the
matinee performance of the Marcus
Show at the Theatre Wilbert. The
show isexceptionally high-class in
every particular and elected much
favorable comment and applause
from the crowd which filled the
house. The women in the troupe are
pretty and their dancing most grace
.ful. The costumes are gorgeous and
the scenery and electrical effects
wonderful. 1t is musical show and
fully up to the standard of the high
class productions which manager
Delacroix has succeeded in billing for
his big theatre this season. Judging
from the tremendous attendance at
both the matinee and night perform
ances last Sunday, theatre-goers are
showing full appreciation of the
efforts of Mr. Delacroix in securing
| the best troupes on the road regard
less of expense. Such splendid plays
will always draw large crowds, not
only from Plaquemine, but from
Donaldsonville and other neighbor.

He Las a system whereby he can take a T-bone steak and make it shrinA up to the size of an army bean without losing any Of it's kick. He says he can take d dozen eggs, make few passes over 'em a.d cause 'em to be nc big ger than a pea. And he can make q Thanksgivng dinner the size Of a lump of sugar and still it will have ev- eTything in it from the cranberry sauce to the old bird.
 All of which sounds Interesting, and probably will change the future consid- erably.
