School Children Drink Milk.

A recent weeks survey made in
the city public schools of New Or
leans for the purpose of determining
the amount Of milk the children in
the schools were consuming a week
since the milk for health campaign
which was staged there last spring,
showed that 21,799 half pints Of
milk, or 245 gallons, were sold to
school children during that week.
These figures are in great contrast
with those Of last years record when
a remarkably small number Ct chill
dren were drinking milk and were
subsequently undernourished thai the
Milk for Health campaign was held
there" says Mrs. Clayton. eve are
more than pleased with the results
that are apparent from day to day
and we hope to bring the ccnsump-
ton of milk among the children to
an even greater standard III the years
to come.'

PERSONALITIES VS.. ARGUMENT

PERSOISAL1liE led ' .. [1ie1 v 4'iA
An editorial appearing in the last
issue of the Gonzales Weekly, pur-
porting to answer the editorial on the
question of France using black troops
in Germany during the recent war,
which appeared in The Chief IN its
issue of December 16, is such a pal
pable avoidance of the issue and an
attempt to inject personalities into
the controversy, that The Chief re-
frains from entering into this sort OF
argument. If the editor Of our es-
teemed contemporary desires to dis
cuss the issues involved i'll the mat
ter, The Chief will gladly defend its
side of the argument, but it has
always avoided personalities, follow
ing the lead of all cleanly managed
newspapers in this regard. The per
sonal charges appearing in the Week
ly's editorial are so absurd and nave
created so much ridicule of that jour
nal among the citizens of Donaldson-
Vile and this section, that The Chief
does not deem an answer necessary
even if it did believe in 'playing up
personalities.
None of the points which The Chief
brought out in its editorial have been
answered by the Weekly. The truth
can never be successfully refuted,
therefore, the reason for the personal
touch which the Weekly's editor has
resorted to in his alleged argument.

"RICH MEMS WIVES"
Every things Rich and Girls Pretty in
''Rich Mems Wives"

When you get a book or a play
with situations that makes you erect,
all a-thrill, one minute and the next
minute make you want to cry, you
can tell the world you've had enter
tainment.
That's the effect that erich Mems
Wives" next Tuesdays attraction at
the Grand Theatre, will have upon
its audience.
This is a picture that everybody
will be the better for seeing, because
it has splendid story, theme in
tensely interesting and a cast that
comes as close to being |all-star" as
any it has been our pleasure to meet
on the screen. Dramatic power and
a stirring heart appeal are the domi-
mating strains as the story unfolds.
A cast of extraordinary quality has
been selected for the Interpretation
of the story, and therein the creators
of the picture display their wisdom,
for the roles are SO trying they could
easily have been ruined by inferior
acting. House Peters, who seems to
be always in demand by producers
seeking the ''he-man" type of artist,
has the leading masculine role, and
Claire Windsor, one of the best ac-
tresses and most beautiful women on
the screen, plays opposite him. Then
there is Baby Richard Headrick, the
screens most wonderful child; Gas
ton Glass, the unforgettable hero of
'Humoresque;" Rosemary Theby,
Myrtle Stedman, Mildred June, and
Carol Hilloway, beauties and stars in
their own right; Charles Cary, Martha
Mattax and William Austin, all fine
players.
Miss Windsor wears no less than
six different costumes, beginning with
chic tailored suit and ending with
a beautiful dancing frock. In be-
tween she is seen in a riding habit,
in evening gown, in an artistic after
noon gown and in smart sport suit
a smart afternoon gown, picture
hat, and a stunning evening costume
fall to the lot of Miss Theby, while
Miss Stedman and Miss June both
are seen in the very latest street and
party models.
Erich Mems Wives" deserves to be
placed among the successes of the
.eason, for it is drama that will
live in the sminds of audiences for
a long time to come. :,

News From War Zone.

Shreveport, La, Dee. 28, 1922.
Dear Chief:
I am writing from the war zone.
Bastrop where the remains Of my
good friend the late Governor Luther
E. Hall lies buried is the scene of war
fare. Rapid fire guns are perched all
around the courthouse where troops
are stationed with orders to shoot
with deadly aim to kill any one ap-
preaching the seat of justice in a
rnenacing mapner, this condition
exists today, four years after the
signing of the Armistice:
sincerely hope that Governor
Parker will succeed in running down
all of the guilty parties, Who took
part in the murder of Daniels and
Richards, whether they were Masons,
B'ni Brit, Knights of Columbus OF
Ku Klux Klan, secure their conviction
:.nd sign their death warrants within
the next thirty days.
But | fear | am hoping for the
impossible, in Louisiana, where the
expediting of law and justice is so
slow, as in the case of the six Italians
in Tangipahoa who. have been tried
twice and convicted both times and
wearing the most fashionable clothing
and breathing fresh air.
Being always opposed to mob law,
| was the unfortunate victim while
the conditions were at fever heat dur
ing the world war. 1t was in June,
1918 that | was indicted by a federal
grand jury, composed of sixteen SUI
per patriotic white men and one ne
gro, four whites unafraid to vote no.
The charge was for violating the Es-
pioinage Act.
On June 4, 1918, supposed drum
mer from New York touring the cqun-.
try advocating the quitting Of every
German in this country, passed
through Burnside. At the depot
suggested to him he should join the
army and get on the firing line and
kill all the Germans he could He
answered he had tried to enlist and
was refused. To the young man
weighing about 100 mounds, / said:
"You do not look to me as an invalid"
That infuriated him. | stated that |
had always been opposed to mob law
and that I did not approve of 500
men, mobbing one defenseless man
as in the case of Praeger in East
st. Louis. | then started to walk
into the station, when, I heard him
say that | should be made to fertilize
the soil, killed and buried. | wheeled
around placed my fist in his face and
silenced him. Ny only regret is that
| did not strike him. I gave bond
for $1,000 and was never called for
trial.
| wish to congratulate Jimmy on
his great Improvement of the dear
old Chief, and my wishes for Happy
New Year, to everyone, everywhere,
within the confines of Ascension par
ish.
Always yours sincerely,

CO-OPERATI0M

II you would like to get an idea
OF how much money is going away
from Donaldsonville, to be spent else
where for things which might as we'll
be purchased here, just go to the post-
Office, or express office, and see the
deliveries of merchandise from mail
order houses, and business concerns
IN other cities. Watch the trains and
the boat to see the number of people
VINO go to New Orleans or Baton
Rouge each day for the purpose of
buying goods. There are thousands
OF dollars going out of Donaldsonville
every month to pay for purchases
made elsewhere.
Naturally there are occasions when
something has to be bought out of
town and we are not arguing that
point. However, the bulk of the
money which is going out of Don
jacksonville to be spent elsewhere is
badly needed right here in our city,
We have heavy payments to make
for the recent bond issue; we need
pubic improvements. Our streets
nave to be repaired and the city has
10 be pollced. Our taxpayers can onlv
meet these expenses out of the pro-
fits they make on the business which |
they are conducting. If YOU make
your purchases elsewhere, you can
readily see how you are crippling
your own town and its growth.
When we want money for charity,
for civic work, for the fair, we go
to our business men first and thev
always respond as far as they are
able. Let us take this important
matter seriously and when the temp
tation comes up again to spend money
away from home, investigate our To-
,al stores and see if the purchase
be made here
Our merchants, bankers, doctors,
awyers and others are here to serve
he public of this section and they are
eady and anxious to accommodate
nybody who wants legitimate SER !

"BRAVE JOHN PARKER"

The people of Louisiana, and in
deed of the entire nation, owe to
" Governor John M. Parker great
debt of gratitude for the service he
has performed, and what he is doing,
to uncover the heinous crime that was
committed in Morehouse parish.
Governor Parker, upon his own in
tiative has undertaken to unravel this
murder mystery, which has been
charged to the Ku Klux Klan. AL
though his first efforts to bring the
perpetrators of this horrible crime to
justice were, for some reason, be-
Titled in many quarters, and propa-
ganda was circulated, the import of
which was to make the public believe
the governor was making mountain
out of mole hill, still the governor,
fearlessly and practically alone, be-
gan the attack on the "Invisible En-
pre- His visit to Washington, where
he sought cooperation with federal
authorities was criticized severely,
and especially in Klan quarters, while
even some of his own close friends
censored the governor for this action.
But recent developments at Mer
Rouge; the establishment of the fact
that vile murder had been done; that
it was the work of we'll organized
body of men who wore mask and
robe, has made the true American cit
izenship of the state and nation pause
in its condemnation of John M. Park
ers' acts, and instead give him praise
and approval, of what he has under
taken to do in clearing up, and bring
ing to justice those who may have
had any connection with this crime,
that has SO Wantonly outraged the
good name Of the state.
The name of John NJ Parker is
lauded on the lips of every true
blooded American, who believes in
law, order and justice and he is re-
ceiving the encomiums from all quar-
ters Of the state and nation. AS an
example of how the people of the
country feel over his courageous
stand in the Mer Rouge outrages, the
New York World, editorially, under
the caption, "Brave John Parker"
says;
"Governor Parker of Louisiana has
performed brave service to the
American people in refusing to let
the Mer Rouge murders be forgotten.
He had every temptation to allow the
kidnapping and murders of last Aug
ust by masked and white-robed men
to remain an insoluble mystery.
"Instead he faced out the invisible
empire and moved the wheels of
American justice against the perpetra
tors of mob vengeance. The majes-
ty of the law stands higher in Lou
islana today because of John Park
conrage. In Louisiana today, because
an unterrified man IS in office, the
American system of government pre-
walls. A secret criminal conspiracy
against the state has been caught in
the grip of the law. !
''The Mer Rouge murders are the
logical outcome of the attempt to set |
up an invisible empire. John Park
er's pursuit Of these crimes is the
logical outcome of the determination |
to maintain the visible republic"
The Donaldsonville chief., 1922-12-30

in the long run means for much bet
ter business than if it was all spent
at once"
Aside from the expressions of
optimism by the business men, the
good feeling was radiated from al
most every face that could be seen
on the streets during the week. Hap
piness and contentment was in evil
dence everywhere and cordial greet
ings were extended by the thousands
to all who were met.

Two COnOyer Boys Met
Death by Interurban
WAL AND LOUIS CHURCHILL
INSTANTLY gsIEt-ED. IN MIL.
WAUKEE SUNDAY

Walter Churchill age %, and his
brother, Louis, II, of Conover, Wis,
were instantly killed early Sunday
when struck by a Chicago, Milwau-
kee & North Shore Electric railway
train while walking over a trestle
near the southern limits of the city.
They were on their way to visit a
friend and owing to the severe cold
weather their ears were so muffled
that they apparently did not hear the
approaching train.
A message announcing the death
of her two brothers, Walter and
Louis Churchill in Milwaukee Sat
urday night by being struck by an
interurban car while walking along
the track, was received by their sis
ter Mrs. James Merical Sunday. Mr..
and Mrs Merical and her mother
Mrs. John Putkamer of Conover and
her younger son left Sunday night
for Milwaukee where the funeral was
held. The following account given in
a Milwaukee paper Monday tells the
story of the tragedy.
The boys were we'll known here
having for a number of years been
farming on place on the Conover
road near Sucker lake. Louis the
younger boy was employed on. the
county highway all last summer and
they had gone to Milwaukee about
two weeks previous where they ex-
pected to remain until time to start
farm work in the spring.

Uncle Of Review Editor
Writes Early History
OPEN OF NEW BRIDGE AT sAuk
RECALLS PIONEER DAYS OF
THAT SECTION

The following article in the Wis
consin Farmer of last week dealing
with some Wisconsin River history
was of interest to the Review editor
for the reason that Robert Richards
is his uncle and a G. A. R. man now
80 years of age. 1t also brings back
very vividly stories that we listened
to many years ago concerning the
childhood days of the children of the
first white settler in the town Of
Roxbury, Dane county part of whom
were the father of this writer and
his brother who contributed the story
to the Wisconsin Farmer. Robert
Richards was a volunteer in the Civil
War at the age of eighteen and left
Wisconsin three days before the bat
tie of Shiloh, landing there on that
memorable morning and before noon
received a leg wound from an explod-
ing shell which caused a sore that
has never thoroughly healed, although
he served out his three year term of
enlistment and re-enlisted for the
balance of the war being honorably
discharged at its conclusion.

Eagle Highs Have Yet
to Meet First Defeat
FIRST TEAM BEAT ARGoNNF AND
cRANDON-SECOND FROM
THREE LAKES

! Eagle High romped away with an
easy victory over the Argonne team
here last Friday night, the final score
being 80 to 2. After the first few
minutes of play it was apparent that
the Argonne boys were playing out
of their class. altho a few days ago
that same team played Laona to a
tie and in doing so much have put
up much better game than they
showed here.
AS far as scoring goes Eagle played
consistent game, getting 10 points
in the first half nd 20 in the second.
Each side committed one foul but
Argonne failed to cage the ball on
their trials. Stein for Eagle was luck
Ter, getting the odd point by finding
the ring. Krumm, the visitors cen
ter made the basket that saved them
from shut-out, early in the last
period of the game
Eagles team work was good but
they did not handle their passes as
nicely as they have been doing in
the past and missed several shots at
the basket that looked like sure win
ners. However, they played good
game and are convincing the fans
that Eagle High has one of the fastest
and strongest cams in the district
this season. Their floor work is daz-
cling and when put to it they can
rally to a defence that breaks up the
incest combinations of their oppo-
nents.

was done by treadlng 1t out with oxen
The ground was cleared off and two
bundles laid crossways of the track
with heads to the center. Then bum
dies were laid lengthwisel of the
track with heads on the two first
bundles. They then laid the bundles
7sflfngle fashion around the circle or
oval. They drove three or four yoke
of oxen around the flooring they call
ed it until the straw was well chewed
up, then a man on each side with
forks started in where they laid the
last bundle and turned them over
with the heads pointing the other
way. When the treading was done
the straw was well shaken and stack
ed away and the grain and chaff
scraped in pile in the center. The
first threshing machine that | saw
was about three feet square. There
was nothing to it but cylinder. 1t
was driven by sweep power. The
grain and. straw fell on the ground
and men had to shake out the straw
and stack 1t. Then they had to rake
the grain and chaff to one side. The
next year this machine had an i'm
provement in the shape of light
wagon box affair with an end-shake
motion and the bottom bored full of
holes for grain and chaff to fall
through. The next machine was two
horse tread power mounted on wheels
with tanning mill attachment. This
outfit was owned by two young
Frenchmen, brothers, living over in
the Dunlap Hollow The next mach
inc was owned by Mr.. Barns and
was of the4 apron straw carrier style
which was the only machine for many
years.
Mr.. Richards account of his early
life and that of his parents at this
place form an interesting contribu-
ton to the history of WISCONSIN river
settlements and the thanks of the
present generat1On are que nlm Iof
this service. 1t may also be added
here, that former Gov. E. L. Philip
who also grew up on a farm near
Sank City and who assisted materially
in the carrying through of the new
bridge project, has also contributed
later chapter to the story of the
place and likewise earned the appre-
citation of students of local history,
as well as given pleasure to many
older readers who may be able to
say: "All of this l saw and much of
it l was.'
