Young Lawless paid a brief visit to the home folk be fore departing to engage in active service, arriving here last Saturday vening and remaining until Sunday afternoon. The spirit of patriotism and ser vice is not confined to the grown-ups of this community by any means. A bunch of little fellows styling them selves "Us & Co." gave an entertain ment in the back yard of the Colomb home Thursday afternoon, to which an admission fee of one cent was charged, and with a display of gener osity that could well be emulated by older patriots contributed the entire amount realized, 17 cents, to the local Red Cross branch. Another benefit is planned by these loyal young Amer icans for next Monday afternoon, we understand. "I have arrived safely overseas" is the laconic but highly interesting mes sage printed on a post-card which reached the Chief this week from Ben nett J. Babin, of Donaldsonville. Young Babin, it will be remembered, departed for Camp Pike Dec. 27 last, and two weeks later volunteered for active service in France, being the ':st man in his company of 140 to tjnify his willingness to go to the front at once. His many friends here will be relieved to learn of his safe passage through the submarine zone, and will anxiously await news of his well-being from time to time. En route from Baton Rouge to New Orleans in a canoe, a party of school boys of the former city con sisting of Charles H. Coates, Hunter Coates and Lawrence Favrot arrived at Donaldsonville at about 8:30 p. m. Thursday and after spending the night here as the guests of Mrs. Vic tor Maurin, grandmother of Charles Coates, resumed their journey at 5 o'clock yesterday morning. They i brought their canoe ashore with them, Splacing it in the Kahn & Well stable for the night. The voyagers left Ba ton Rouge at noon Thursday, and ex pected to reach New Orleans some t~ie today. LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE. The Chief is not responsible for views expressed by correspoidents. Misreprezentation Charged. Galvez, La., March 26, 1918. Editor Chief: In your edition of last week ap peared a rather peculiar and decept Ive communication from Mr. Ben. L. Cambre denying that the recent in dignation meeting was of any con sequer,ce. Now it seems a bit strange that a truthful man as Mr. Cambre is, should resort to such. As a matter of fact Mr. Cambre knows that the meeting was a representative meeting. He further knows that the meeting he himself announced for Oak Grove was held, and that this meeting which he called as a means of vindicating himself went on record as endorsing the resolutions adopted at the Galvez mde ing and that thefe was but one dis`. nting vote to this endorsement. The Oak Grove meeting was presided over by Hon. E. D. Dixon, and H. E. Webb was elected secretary. After an informal discussion, they endorsed the resolutions passed at Galvez. This was at Mr. Cambre's own meeting, his request for which appeared in a re cent issue of the Chief. Mr. Cam bre's attempt to hold a meeting at Galvez last Thursday night was rather a failure as Mr. Cambre did not even put in his appearance. We are quite aware that Mr. Cam bre's acts on the police ju.y are a matter of record. And what a record! He offers the same excuse for voting for Mr. Neuman that Messrs. Reuss and Armitage did. No doubt Mr. Neuman IS best fitted for this responsible position as is evidenced by his ability to build a gravel road by beginning in the mid dle between two stores instead of at either end, as the law provides. We ask for no other evidence of fitness- for that kind of work. Just a year previous when Mr. Neuman was op posed by Mr.Gonzales,Mr.Cambre sup portRd Mr. Gonzales against Mr. Neu man. Whis change of mind? Certainly not because of any miscon duct on Mr. Gonzales' part, since he did not officiate. A great many of Mr. Cambre's constituents think his admiration for Mr. Neuman can be measured in other terms than person al esteem. No, this is not treason, but it cer tainly is not representative govern ment that Mr. Cambre is trying to de fend. Yours, one of his constituents, A. D. CARPENTER, SR. NEW TIME BEGINS TOMORROW. Daylight Saving Schedule to Go Into Effect at 2 A. M. Donaldsonvillians are reminded to set their clocks and watches forward one hour upon retiring tonight, as the new daylight saving schedule of time will begin at 2 o'clock tomorrow morning. At that hour the hands of the master clock in every govern ment building, and of Western Union timepieces throughout the country, will be moved up to register 3 o'clock. This means that if you have been in the habit of rising at 61 o'clock in the past, you will get up an hour earlier Sunday morning. If you gve been accustomed to dine at noon, accord ing to the hands of the clock you will still dine at twelve, but in reality you will eat your dinner at 11 o'clock. In the same way you will go to bed an hour earlier by sunrf time, but to judge by the clock you will retire at your usual hour. While the new scheme, of course, will not change the course of the sun, moon and stars, or affect the movements of the tides it will alter the habits of everyone, in that we will all do what we have been ac customed to do one hour earlier than usual. The railroads will arrange their schedules an hour earlier by sun time, but trains will continue to ran at the old hour according to the clock. Ai person 'desiring to catch a train and failing to move his timepiece up in accordance with governmental edict, will arrive at the depot exactly one hour after his train has left. All of the courts will observe the new time, as will the banks and postoffice. Those who fail to conform to the new chedule will find themselves just one hour behind everyone else in the country. The daylight saving plan will con tinue in effect until the last Sunday in October, when the clocks will be set back an hour. The new arrangement is a matter of law, congress having passed a bill providing for it and President Wilson having affixed his signature to the measure. There should be no confusion attendant up on the inauguration of the plan, as all that is necessary is to advance the hands of the clock. BIG DEMO'SFP RATION PLANNED. Mohawk Patriots to Help Boost W. S. S. Campaign in Ascension. About sixty members of Mohawk Tribe No. 33 assembled in the wig wam to participate in the class initia tion scheduled for Tuesday night. Eleven palefaces were instructed in the mysteries of Redmanship, and three applications for reinstatement were received. Mohawk's champion degree team exemplified the adoption degree, and the candidates were in structed in the warriors' and chief's degrees by Great Senior S gamore Thibodaux. After the initiatory ceremonies, the newly elected Red Men were called upon for talks and each responded in his turn. Great Keeper of Wampum Paul Gisclard and Great Senior Saga more Thibodaux extended a tribal welcome to the new members. Mayor E. K. Sims being present, was called upon and uttered words of wisdom, complimenting Mohawk Tribe on its admirable showing and the quality of its membership. At the conclusion of his remarks, Great Senior Saga mo i"Thibodaux moved "that to show its patriotism Mohawlk Tribe extend its services to the chairman of the parish war savings stamp commission, ayor Sims, and that a committee of three be appointed to confer with him regarding a monster demonstra tion in Donaldsonville to boost the sale of these and thrift stamps, and help win the war." The motion was unanimously carried, and Mayor Sims extended his thanks in advance, declaring that whenever Mohawk "starts something" the success of the undertaking is assured. Sachem Oubre appointed the fol lowing to constitute the committee: Great Senior Sagamore Thibodaux, chairman; Great Keeper of Wampum Gisclard, and Charles A. Maurin, Jr. Another class initiation will take place in Mohawk's wigwam Tuesday, April 2, at 8 o'clock, and five applica tions have already been secured for the ccasion. FIFTH ACCOUNT FILED.
