Walter Miller and Vernon Terrence, colored, chauffeurs of this city, went to New Orleans this week and en deavored to enlist in the army, but were rejected on account of physical disqualifications. The city council met Monday night in regular monthly session and trans acted a considerable amount of in teresting and important business. City Clerk A. J. Melancon will have the official proceedings in shape for publication next week. A Burnside correspondent informs us that the automobile trade in that locality is good now, especially for the "Honduras, Japan and Blue Rose brand of cars." Of course, he adds, no one is investing in benzine bug gies except rice planters. Robert and Wallie Higgason re turned last night from a two-day stay in New Orleans, where they went for the praiseworthy purpose of enabling Wallie to apply for enlistment in the navy.

A special session of the police jury Was called for Wednesday for the purpose of adopting a license ordi nance for the coming year, but the ab sence of a quorum necessitated a post ponement of the meeting.

Sandy Truxillo will leave tomor- i row for St. Louis to select an assort- s ment of mules for spring delivery. a The demand for these animals is so t brisk, and the supply so uncertain, c that Mr. Truxillo deemed it wise to 9 Play the part of the early bird and en- 1 ter his order now, so as to make sure U of having a choice lot of mules on hand when the spring trade opens up. The open-kettle Church factory in Assumption parish finished grinding last Saturday night, and the final "strike" of sugar was turned out Sun- " day night.

Stier, secretary of the New Orleans Red Cross chapter, who was scheduled to address the local branch Tuesday afternoon, failed to arrive for some reason not explained. Despite the inclement weather quite a number of Red Cross workers had assembled at the headquarters in the Elks' Home, including all the officers of the branch, and Mr. Stier's non arrival occasioned much disappoint Sment. Through the courtesy of Raphael Singer, of this city, the Chief has re ceived a copy of a stirring musical composition by Dr. J. A. Richard, of Plaquemine, entitled, "I'm Going to Lend My Man to Uncle Sam." The song is dedicated to the soldier boys of Iberville parish. Both the words and music are by Dr. Richard, who is the author of several other successful ballads as well as a number of ex cellent poems. A notable addition to the popula tion of Donaldsonville was recorded this morning, through the arrival of twins at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Allen. One of the new-comers is a sweet little girl and the other a bouncing boy, and both of the wee strangers are doing nicely, as is also their devoted young mother. We pre sume friend Allen and his gracious spouse are to be doubly congratulat ed on this joyous event, and our hear ty fglicitations are extendd accord ingly' Paul Thibodaux, John Ayraud. Sid ney Acosta and Paul Bouchereau. Donaldsonville boys affiliated with Co. A, 142nd Machine Gun Battalion. (formerly Co. H of the First Louisi ana Infantry), spent a day or so at home during the past week and it goes without saying that a warm greeting was extended them. They are all looking extremely well, and if their appearance is a criterion soldier life at Camp Beauregard is productive of much benefit physical ly and otherwise. Rev. W. F. Henderson, Jr., who has been appointed to succeed Rev. P. O. Lowrey as pastor of the Methodist churches in the.Donaldsonville circuit, arrived here last Saturday night to take up his duties, accompanied by his wife and little daughter. The family are comfortably domiciled in the cozy Methodist parsonage in Opelousas street. The Chief extends them a cordial welcome to Donaldsonville on behalf of the entire community, and hopes Rev. Henderson may find his work here both pleasant and profita ble. After spending a week here as the guest of his brother-in-law and sis ter, Mr. and Mrs. Abe Bloomenstiel, Lieut. Isadore Kirchner left Friday morning for New Orleans, from whence he departed at 11 o'clock last night via the Southern Pacific Rail road for Camp Logan, at Houston, Texas, where he has been assigned to duty. Lieut. Kirchner has an ex tensive coterie of friends in Donald sonville and was the recipient of much attention during his stay here. He was accompanied to New Orleans by Mr. Bloomenstiel, who returned home on the late T. & P. train last night. Schuyler Brasset, of Smoke Bend sends the Chief a sample of the fin, grade of sugar, classified as granu lated seconds, being turned out at thl Right Way plantation of Joseph A Provost near Jeanerette, where Mr Brasset is employed as chief sugar boiler. "We expect to finish abou Dec. 15," he writes. "The factory ha: a capacity of 450 tons per day, and i: a nice, up-to-date little house. Mr Provost sold his whole crop on the accompanying sample. I am assistec by W. Burke, of New Orleans. I hav, been called upon to go and finish the taking off of a crop in Texas for the LaBlanca Sugar Company."

Roger, watchman. Refreshments were serv ed after the meeting and a pleasant period of social intercourse and fra ternal good fellowship ensued. The new officers will be formally installed at the first meeting of the camp in January. Resigns Red Cross Chairmanship. Owing to the uncertain state of her health, Mrs. Emma Pujos has been compelled to resign the chairmanship of the local Red Cross branch. Mrs. Pujos has rendered notably efficient and zealous service in this capacity since the institution of the branch, and it was with keen reluctance that the members of the organization ac cepted her resignation. As a mark of appreciation of her splendid work in behalf of the society, she was unanimously elected honorary chair man, Mrs. Clerville Himel being se lected to assume the active leader ship of the branch. Return from Honeymoon.

He is thoroughly qualified to make a first-class officer, and may be relied upon to acquit himself with credit and distinction in this and whatever other capacity he may be called upon to serve his country., The Difference in Footwear The reason why custom made shoes are, popular among people of refine ment is not because they like to pay $12 to $16 for them, but because the shoes are tailored to fit the feet. The reason many of these people now come here for their footwear is not because of the saving they make in buying just as good footwear for $5, $6 and $7, but because they get immediate service and are fitted perfectly. It's all in getting shoes made over scientifically correct lasts. Selz designers have spent years in perfecting the lasts we use. The foot wear we show here is made scientifically correct. Many women can be fitted to these shoes 'a half size smaller tl;an they are used to wearing. They give slender appearance to the ankle and dress the feet in admirable manner. You will appreciate this if you try Selz shoes. It's a pleasure to show shoes here. Yoa 'are not urged to.buy. Israel Shoe Store DONALDSONVILLE, LA. GOOD CITIZEN CALLED AWAY.

[ By Wilfred Binnings. - Much interest is manifested in the competitive drill to take place at the South Louisiana Fair grounds at 3 o'clock tomorrow afternoon between the cadet military companies of the Reserve and Donaldsonville high schools. The winning company will be awarded a handsome silver trophy cup, now on exhibition in one of the show, windows, at the X-Ray Phar macy. The D., . .S. cadets will go .through some rile and setting-up ex eroises .to add to the program. Don't :forget that this is something out of the ordinary, and goes hand-in-hand with the patriotic spirit of the times. The principal has written to a num ber of prominent citizens of the com munity inviting them to co-operate with him in arranging a series of talks on many important questions relating to the school child's welfare. He suggested that the talks be made every other Friday in the D. H. S. auditorium, in the morning, when gen eral assembly is held. Those invited and the subjects suggested for them to talk upon are as follows: Dr. J. S. Thibaut, "The Importance of Form ing Habits of Thrift While Young;" Dr. Wm. McGalliard, "The Necessity of Good Ventilation;" Dr. E. K. Sims, "The Importance of Physical Train ing for Both Boys and Girls;" Dr. P. T. Thibodaux, "Contagious and In fectious Diseases Among the School Children;" Dr. T. H. Hanson, "Per sonal eleanlipess;" Dr. D. C. Brum field, "Flies and Mosquitoes as Car riers of Disease;" Dr. A. W.

The present school month for the public schools of Ascension parish will end Dec. 21. The schools will be closed then for the Christmas holi days, which will extend until Monday, Jan. 7, 1918. As was expected, the appointment of an officer of the day has been pro ductive of excellent results. The placing on the bulletin board of the names of pupils violating the laws of discipline of the school has proved very effective. Whenever the "O.D." is near there is as good order as if a teacher was among the pupils. One of the most important duties of the officer is to preserve order in' any part of the school where it is neces sary. He is on duty from 8:30 a. m. until 4 p. m. He supervises the cere monies of reveille and retreat. At tlhe end of the day he makes out his report and displays it on the bulletin board. A list of the pupils chosen and the day they are to serve as officer of the day is posted on the bulletin board the week previous to the one in which they are to act. The list for the coming week is as follows: Mon day, John Lark; Tuesday, Louis Cas so; Wednesday. Kline Sims; Thurs day, Clyde Hazlip; Friday, Sam Giambrone. Due to the great preparations be ing made by the military company for their drill, it was decided to post pone until next Tuesday the meet ing of the literary society which was to have: been held the past Tuesday. Generous Response to K. of C. Appeal The "drive" for sulfscriptions to the Knights of Columbus war fund is meeting with good results, and the of ficers and members of the local coun cil are confident that Doryt.sonville and Ascension parish may L ioented upon to do their full share mi-I1~lf of the worthy movement. A partn' canvass of the city proper last Mon day and Tuesday yielded a number of contributions, almost everybody ap proached evincing a cheerful willing ness to aid the fund, which is to be expended in promoting the moral and material welfare of American soldiers i and sailors, regardless of religious denomination. Owing to the unpro pitious weather which has prevailed this week no effort was made to tour the rural sections of the parish, but they will be visited during the com ing week and thoroughly canvassed for donations.
