NOTES FROM STONEWALL
JACKSON CHAP. NO. 1135

Stonewall Jackson Chapter No.
1885, U. D. c., celebrated with appro-
pirate ceremonies the birthday of its
great namesake, at Camp Nichols,
the Soldiers Home, on picturesque
Bayou St. John. Mrs, Arthur Weber,
state president of the U. D. c., who
was a guest of the Chapter, gave a
most interesting address, concluding
her talk with a message from Miss
Matte McGrath, voicing the latter's
request at her inability to be present
at the days ceremonies. Mrs. Hickey
Friederichs, the capable and popular
president of the Chapter, spoke feel
ingly of a motive which had brought
the members and their friends out
to the Home, after which a much en-
joyed program was rendered, violin
and vocal solos by Mr.. and Mrs. Err
nestine Perez, vocal solo by Mr..
Peroya, accompanied by Mrs. Peroya,
and an amusing number by the youth
full Crossman Minstrels, eliciting
much applause. At the conclusion Of
the program, a quantity of delicious
fruit was distributed among the vete-
rams, Mr.. George Vennard responding
in behalf of the aged heroes.
Stonewall Jackson Chapter was
largely represented at the recent Di-
vision Luncheon given at the Oriental
Restaurant, one Of its members, Mrs.
NJ. R. Bankston, having had the honor
Of being selected by Mrs. Weber to
fill the important post of Toast-Mis-
tress, Mrs. Hickey Friedrichs, presi-
dent, and Mrs. Florence Tompkins,
historian, also responding to toasts.
Mrs. Calrence F. Jenne, Presidential
tional of the Daughters of 1912, was
at the luncheon.
This Chapter also participated in
the Joint Bestowal Of Crosses of Hon.
or recently held at Memorial hall, a
touching incident of the evening being
the dedication of a handsome elec-
trolier by N. O. Chapter, No. y, in
memory of Mrs. D. A. S. Vaught.
1t is worthy of comment that Stone
wall Jackson Chapter is doing splen-
did work along educational lines, hav-
ing recently acquired through the
efforts of it's president three valuable
new Scholarships, both the Ursuline
and Dominican Converts being repre-
sented.
Much interest is Being evinced in
the approaching convention, Stone
wall Jackson Chapter entering heart
and soul into the convention work.

A TOKEN OF APPRECIATION

On Sunday morning at the II o'clock
service Of the St. James Episcopal
church, a pretty incident followed the
installation of the new vestrymen..
DR.. Tucker preached an excellent
sermon on "Faithfulness," at the con-
clusion Of which he presented in BE-
half of the vestry, a beautiful watch
fob with gold cross attached there
to, in recognition of the faithful SER
vice of Mr.. James Clayton, who cele-
brated on that day his 25th anniver-
sary as member of the vestry.
The gift was complete surprise
to the honoree, and the scene was a
touching one as he accepted the ere.

each Chapter president in the State
reporting the cash on hand, inform
ing them of the need Of donations to
this cause. Many replies with cheer
, ing words to the chairman, the men,
bers of the committee were faithful
to their trust and the amount obtained
through their efforts was a grand
nucleus towards this worthy cause.
Special mention of the fact that the
indefatigable work of one of the COM
mittee members bore such splendid
results. entitled her contributions to
first place on the list. This IS not
surprising to those who hive the
honor of knowing Mrs. J. 7. Alison,
for her past record as Daughter OF
the Confederacy stands forth as a
glorious example of what a resolute
woman can do. At every annual con-
vention contributions fran the floor
are taken and a goodly amount OF
pledges are made, and so we are al
ways ready to give assistance when
ever an appeal is made.
From time to time the personnel OF
the committee was changed. In 1914
Mrs. A. P. Millerf Of Baton Rouge,
was appointed chairman by Mrs. Peter
Youree, State president. In 1917 the
present incumbent, Miss Doriska
Gautreaux was appointed by Mrs.
Chas. Granger, State president, with
the following committee: Mrs. L. j.
Hakenyos, Mrs. L. A. Jung, Mrs. Jas.
Rainey, Mrs. C. NJ. Daigle, Mrs. N.
Beinvenue.
The appeals on this Fund are many
and we try never to let one appeal
90 by unanswered. We have on our
list several old ladies who have been
assisted from this Fund for years; it
matters not in what section Of the
state an appeal is made. If upon in
vestigation, the case is proven worthy,
immediate attention is given. All
nlpdpes made at conventions to this
Fund by Chapters and individuals are
promptly paid upon being reminded
by the chairman, which enables her
to carry ON this good work without
interruption.
At Easter, Thanksgiving Day and
Christmas check is sent to each
widow on our list, with card pinned
to it bearing the words "Greetings
and Best Wishes from the Louisiana
Division, U. D. c." Beautiful letters
of thanks and appreciation in ac-
knowledgement of these checks are
sent by the recipients asking for
blessings upon the Louisiana Division.
The work becomes more interesting
every year. We have now many cases
of widows applying for help whose
records are good, their needs great,
so it is necessary to build up our
fund. I, therefore, urge all chap
ters throughout the State to contrib
ute as generously to the widows Fund
in the future as they have in the past.
Do not forget in all your splendid
work for the Veteran these old women
who did their part, too. In closing, l
leave upon your hearts as I said be-
fore, those dear old women of the
Confederacy.

ROWAN A FORMER KaNSAN
Congressional Medal of Honor May Go
20 Lieut.. Col. A. S. Rowan

The recent news story carried by the
Associated Press that efforts are be-
ing made to have a congressional
medal OF honor or a distinguished
service cross issued tc Lieut. Col An
drew s. Rowan. "the man who carried
the message to Garcia is of par
ticular interest to Kansans. Rowan,
who now is a resident of San Fran
cisco, was a Kansas man. He is a
brother OF Col. William Mcdowell
Rowan, of Garden City, member of
the state tax commission and promi-
nent in the world war and national
guard organizations in Kansas
The story of ANDY" Rowan's feat
was one of the outstanding episodes of
the Spanish-American war. Gen.
Nelson A. Miles assigned to young
Lieutenant Rowan the task of carrying
message to General Garcia, the head
of the Cuban army, stating the Amer
leans were coming to his aid. To do
this necessitated a trip thru the Span
ish lines which completely surrounde ed
the Cubans. Rowan delivered the
message and reported back to his COM
handing officer. Had he been inter
cepted by the Spaniards, he doubt ess
would have been executed as a spy.
Rowan was promoted to lieutenant
colonel and retired from the regular
army in 190s-ten years after he de-
livared the historic message.

The preliminary government report on
storage eggs out today shows million
cases of eggs more in storage in the United
States on June 1 this year than last. AS a
result of publication of these figures the
markets are lower generally and may be
expected to decline further. 1t would appear
that if not another egg went into storage
this year, there would be sufficient stock of
eggs in this country to supply the demand
The prospects are, however, that with the
heavy stock of hens in the country we will
accumulate another million cases Of eggs
during June and July. This would give
us approximately 600, 600 cases of eggs
on hand at August l. Considering the fact
that Canada, England and other countries
also have surplus of eggs. we are won

DRUGGISTS WANT NEW LAWS.
Would Prohibit Sale of PoiSons by
Grocers and Department Stores.

Grocers and Department Stores.
Kansas druggists are preparing to
open their campaign for legislation to
prohibit the sale of poisons and medi-
cinal preparations by grocery firms
and department stores, according to j.
VIII Kelley, secretary-nnnHager Of the
Kansas Pharmaceutical Association
The opening shot in the campaign
was fired at the state convention in
Kansas City, Kan, recently. Presi-
dent +. W. Ekstrand of the association
entered a strog plea for activity on
the part of the organization along this
line and the convention adopted reso-
Iutions instructlng the legislative COM
mittee to draft a bill to be submitted
to the legislature next year.
Details of the bill have not been
worked out. but it will prohibit, first of
adj, the sale Of all poisons and medi-
cinal preparations by any persons
other than registered pharma clsts, ac-
cording to Secretary Kelley. However,
the bill will except doctors, dentists
and veterinarians in dispensing pre-
parations to their patients and Gus
toners.
tain provisions permitting sales Of
preparations outside of a specified
distance. This will take care OF the
sparseiy settled counties of the state
where drug stores are few, Secretary
Kelley pointed out. Such zoning pro-
visions have not been worked out.
Secretary Kelley also said il is not
planned to prohibit stores other than
drug stores from handling medicinal
preparations entirely, but only to pro-
hibit such sales by others than regis
tered druggists. IF a grocery store
desires to sell drug preparations" he
said. There will be no objection if
registered druggist is employed to
handle such work. The movement is
merely to protect the public and the
drug profession as a whole"
Moreover, druggists are not plan
ming to stop with merely planning the
bill to be introduced into the leSisla-
ture. Plans are under way, Kelley
said, to conduct a statewide cam
paiEn setting forth the arguments in
favor of such legislation.

elected president OF the Pharmaceuti-
cal association, which broke a prece-
dent for the state.
