Sanders is send- ing to his constituents a list of gov- ernment bulletins on agriculture, gar- dening, fruit growing, poultry and stock raising, selection-and cooking of food, canning, and a variety of other topics, all bearing on matters connected with the production and conservation of food supplies, and therefore of particular interest and importance at this time. A list of the bulletins, or copies of any of the publications, may be obtained by ad- dressing Mr. Sanders at Washington. JUNE GARDEN DIRECTIONS. List of Vegetables That May Be Planted at This Time. The following are crops that may be planted during this month, with a good degree of certainty of produc- ing food: Late cabbage for winter crops may be sown, as the plants are easier grown now than the following month. The young plants should be protected from the hot sun and kept well water- ed. This crop should be heading dur- ing December, when cabbage is usu- ally scarce in this territory. Another sowing of egg plants, to- matoes, and peppers for a fall crop would be very profitable. Okra, squash, butter beans (pole), and snap beans (pole) may prove very successful. In regard to the4 beans, I would say that unless good cultivation is given throughout the season, and the dry beans are picked off from time to time. the vines will cease to bear. The best of the bush limas is the strain known as Wood's Prolific, and secondly the Henderson's Bush. The running type of lima bean are best grown in a permanent location, on poultry wire if possible. The best strain of this type is the Carolina or Sewee. Do not plant the large limas of the north, as they will not prove very profitable. The best of the snap beans is the White Creaseback, and secondly the Kentucky Wonder. Pumpkins which are to be stored for winter use should be planted now. A good and large variety is the Yarge Cheese. In this month of plenty let us guard against allowing any food to be wast- ed, sacrificed or destroyed. For further information apply to J. OSWALD MONTEGUT, Demonstration Agent for Ascension. DRAFT TO BE BY NUMBER. Selections for Army Probably Will Be Made in Washington. Regulations for drafting the new national army, now awaiting Presi- dent Wilson's approval, contain pro- vision for every step in the great un- dertaking except the actual method of draft itself. No official announcement has been made, but it has been stated, and gen- erally is accepted as true, that the federal government itself will do the drafting, probably in Washington, so there will be no opportunity for local favoritism, political or otherwise. As the regulations stand now every registered man bears a number. The numbers will be forwarded to Wash- ington and the drawing will be en- t .by. numbe oJThe., identity of the numbered miel will be entlrely un- known to those in charge of the draft machinery and can be established only by comparing a number with a print- ed list in the man's home district. As the numbers are drawn they will be telegraphed to the home districts, where the registered men will learn if they have been drafted. Then the question of exemptions will come up, and this will go before the local boards. If a man is ex- empted, the man bearing the number which was drawn next in order will take his place, and so on. In this way all those available for service out of the ten million who registered will be made ready for the country's call, and from them the first increment of 625,000 will be assem- bled. The others will be called as the need develops. Plenty of time will be given for drafted men to arrange their personal affairs and report to the cantonment camps. It is hoped to have them all in training by Sep- tember 1 or very soon thereafter. PALMETTO TO REPLACE CORN. New Material for Brooms Discovered by Accident. Discovery of the fact that palmetto can be used for broom-making, which Commissioner H. D. Wilson believes will prove one of the most valuable of the war conservation measures, was made by State Senator J. R. I)omengeaux, of Lafayette, by acci- dent. "I was out fishing," said he, "and we used palmetto leaves most effect- ively in camp. They were good for so many things, the thought struck me that something useful might be made from this wild product of the marsh- es. I had a load brought to my broom factory in Lafayette, and we ex- perimented along different lines. Af- ter successfully determining the best way of curing the plant, I applied the usual broom corn machinery and it worked. We had solved the whole problem, and I sincerely believe the palmetto broom to be the best sub- stitute for the corn broom yet de- vised. So does Commissioner Wilson. "I am past the war service age, but if I have succeeded in reducing the high cost of one important staple, I believe that I have in my small way done something for the people of my state. The importance of this broom lies in its curing. Under no circum- stances should it be suncured. It must be shadecured so as to retain its pea-green color and to prevent it from becoming brittle and breakable. The curing takes from ten to fifteen days with good ventilation." Mr. Domengeaux is a member of the state senate from the Lafayette- St. Martin-Iberia district. Cut Off - Indians Initiate Class. On Sunday, June 17, Iriquois Tribe No. 93, I. O: R. M., of Cut Off, La., initiated a class of candidates into the mysteries of Redmanship. Dr. Paul T. Thibodaux, great junior sag- amore of the reservation, together1 with his private secretary, Chief Charles Gaudin, were in charge of the initiatory work. Following the exercises refreshments were served and the newly made chiefs given a royal welcome and reception. Good work is being done in that section to renew interest in the order.-Thibo- daux Commercial-Journal, June 23.

Is Better Able Than Government to S Handle Emergency Relief Work. During the recent Red Cross drive the question was frequently asked as o to why the United States government a should not provide the finances for n this humane work instead of calling p on citizens for voluntary contribu- tions. One of the first answers to this ar- n gument is that the voluntary contribu- tion system is more equitable. Should the government provide the funds the I poor man would be taxed equally with p the millionaire. Under the contribu- E tion scheme each man may give ac- a cording to his means, and in this way 3 the burden falls most heavily on per- e sons of means. Again, it is pointed out that the s Red Cross organization, under the c Geneva Convention of 1906, enjoys I as a voluntary organization devoted to humanitarian labors, rights and privileges which might be denied if the work were conducted by belliger- ent governments direct. All the bel- ligerent states and practically all of the neutrals are parties to this con- I vention, which provides that the Red Cross personnel, if they fall into the s hands of the enemy, "shall be respect- ed and protected under all circum- stances," and "shall not be consider- ed prisoners of war." Provision is likewise made for the protection of Red Cross material under similar cir- cumstances. Another answer is that the inde- pendent Red Cross organization is more flexible, ready to act for the re- lief of the distressed at the moment of call. This avoids the delay which would be caused by the red tape that involves and not infrequently ham- pers government undertakings. Red Cross work by its very nature is usual- ly emergency work, and freedom from red tape is essential to its success in such cases. The National Red Cross has enlisted the voluntary services of some of America's ablest business men. Its plans of war time opera- tion are such as insure efficiency, economy and expeditious work. They are heartily approved by our own government. "No one, therefore," says the Times-Picayune editorially, "should refrain from contributing now or hereafter to the Red Cross because of a mistaken feeling that it should be organized and maintained as a gov- ernment institution-a change that would, under existing conditions and international agreements, hamper its work and perhaps halve its usefulness to humanity." r Has Good Opinion of Chamberlain's f Tablets. f "Chamberlain's Tablets are a won- der. I never sold anything that beat I them." writes F. B. Tressey, Rich- " mond, Ky. When troubled with in- i digestion or constipation give them a 0 trial.-(Adv.) An ad in The Chief will pay. IN DONALDSONVILLE. M Statements of Belle Rose Citizens Are Always of Interest to Our Readers. To many of our readers the streets Sa of Belle Rose are almost as familiar as those of our own town, and we are naturally interested to read of hap- penings there. The following report li( Srom a well-known and respected res- pp ident will be helpful to numbers of he men and women here in Donaldson- w ville. w' D. S. LeBlanc, justice of the peace, p6 Belle Rose, La., says "I was in a St pretty bad way with kidney trouble. G Sometimes the kidney secretions were m unnatural and irregular in passage. m My back was stiff and painful. I had a, dizzy spells also. Uric acid filled my bi system and my left arm became so tp stiff I couldn't move it. I used many m different medicines, but without avail. w Doan's Kidney Pills, however, helped me from the first.

Y.-(Adv.) ti Fine Hay Crop on School Farm. 1s In the course of a report covering 'A his activities for the month of April, a P. I,. Guilbeau, supervisor of agri- d culural schools, writes that he visited t' the Oak Grove school in this parish P "to see some pigs raised on the farm ii that I wished to recommend to some o of t•he club members. They were d found to be good and on Mr. Balis' c and my recommendation they have all t been sold. On account of Mr. Wise's s illness the work on the farm is a lit- 1 tle backward, but as I found the ag- t riculturist hard at work I am sure he has caught up for the lost time. The oats and vetch are the best on any school farm and will furnish enough feed both for the use of the farm and to sell several tons of hay. The mule colt raised on the farm was sold for $150. The price is a very good one and shows what can be done in that line. Most of the farm will be used in raising more feed and food, and we will have to depend mostly on our hogs for the money income. The rest of the school work is also going on Svery nicely." Pensions May Be Increased. Confederate pensioners of Louisi- ana may receive an increase in pen- sions of $4 per quarter, $28 instead of $24, beginning January 1. For the Sfi;st time in its history the state pen- t son board at its recent meeting erased -Imore names from the pension rolls - than were placed on them at that a meeting. Only 115 were added to the rolls, whereas 159 were taken off, 152 from deaths and 7 sent to the Soldiers' Home. ATTENTION, CITIZENS! Seventy Thousand Men Wanted Im- mediately for Regular Army. The president by proclamation calls for 70,000 volunteers for service in the regular army. The National De- fense Council at Washington has called upon the State Defense Coun- cils to co-operate with the United States army recruiting officers in se- curing volunteers to bring the regu- lar army to its war strength of 300,- 000 men. The 70,000 volunteers call- ed for by the president are needed at once to complete the regiments of in- fantry and field artillery and to main- tain them at their full war strength. In response to this call, the under- signed member of the Council of De- fense of the state of Louisiana, resid- ing in the Baton Rouge district, which is composed of the following parishes: Pointe Coupee, West Feliciana, East Feliciana, St. Helena, Livingston, Tangipahoa, Ascension, East Baton Rouge, West Baton Rouge, Iberville, St. Martin and Assumption, brings this important matter to your atten- tion. This is volunteering for service in the regular army and the enlistments will be for the period of the war only, unless sooner discharged. It is not for State National Guard service, nor does it concern the selective draft. It is the most valuable volunteer service you can render to your country. The time for volunteering is NOW! Facilities are in readiness for placing these 70,000 men at proper training. Delay means the loss of valuable time. Volunteering now will place you among troops the larger propor- tion of which are well trained, and officered by competent trained of- ficers, thereby making the work and training of the recruit much lighter and easier, and will give him the ad- vantage of time and voluntary ser- vice, which, in military affairs, are important and controlling factors when it comes to the question of pro- motion. The opportunities for pro- motion in the regular army for men possessing initiative, energy and will are greater than in any other military service. You are urged to volunteer now. Delay means loss of time, which is of the gravest importance. The quota required of the Baton Rouge distriet is 500; the number already obtained is 109, leaving a balance of 391 men to be procured. The time in which to make up this deficit is short. Come forward and volunteer. Your coun- try calls you to arms. Unmarried white men between the ages of 18 and 40 years who have no dependents and who are not engaged in pursuits vital- ly necessary to the prosecution of the war are wanted for this service. Volunteers may apply to the nearest p tS•an•s•ter of the secondib -rd or fourth class, and will be furnished. with transportation at the expense of the government from the place of ap- plication to the New Orleans recruit- ing station, or the recruiting station at Baton Rouge, La. Newspapers in the above mentioned parishes are requested to publish this statement in full. WALTER GUION, Member of State Council of Defense. STRAND TO OPEN JULY 4. Saenger Company's Magnificent Pho- toplay Theatre Completed. Years of effort, backed by the be- lief that the south is entitled to a photoplay theatre commensurate with her resources, will find fruition next Wednesday, July 4, at New Orleans, when the Saenger Amusement Com- pany, Inc., will formally open their Strand Theatre, corner Baronne and Gravier streets. The best that time, money, energy, thought, and craft- manship could combine to produce, are said to be represented in this building, which is a titanic tribute to the silent drama, as well as a monu- ment to the enterprising southerners who built it. The Saenger Corporation are pio- neers in the south. In appreciation of the support the south has given them, they have built a theatre at New Orleans which will serve as a standard for similar institutions in this section. The Strand has a seating capacity of 2000. A symphony orchestra of 35 pieces, the largest permanent thea- tre organization in the United States, will interpret each and every produc- tion, while a mammoth pipe organ will be an additional attraction. A ladies' lounge, luxuriously appointed, with courteous attendants in charge; a uniformed house staff, drilled un- der military discipline; an informa- tion bureau; a private trunk line tele- phone exchange; a tourist bureau of information for out-of-town residents or shoppers; and a concert at noon daily by the symphony orchestra ex- clusively, are only a few of the fea- tures embodied in this latest of southern institutions that will amaze local residents on their next visit to the Crescent City. Your Country Calls You at this crisis in its fate to raise all the foodstuffs in your power. It likewise calls on you to exhibit at the fair which represents your particular sec- tion, the best of all you raise-wheth- er it be farm products, live stock, or poultry-in order to stimulate your neighbors to greater efforts by the practical object lesson of your ex- hibit. It is therefore your patriotic duty to send the best of all YOU pro- duce to the fifth annual South Louis- iana Fair at Donaldsonville, Oct. 4-7. Whooping Cough. In this disease it is important that the cough be kept loose and expector- ation easy, which can be done by giv- ing Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Mrs. P. H. Martin, Peru, Ind., writes: "My two daughters had whooping t cough. I gave them Chamberlain's p Cough Remedy and it worked like a charm."- (Adv.) For local news read The Chief.

Congressman J. Y. Sanders is send-

ing to his constituents a list of gov-ernment bulletins on agriculture, gar-dening, fruit growing, poultry andstock raising, selection-and cookingof food, canning, and a variety ofother topics, all bearing on mattersconnected with the production andconservation of food supplies, andtherefore of particular interest and

importance at this time. A list ofthe bulletins, or copies of any of the

publications, may be obtained by ad-dressing Mr. Sanders at Washington.

JUNE GARDEN DIRECTIONS.

List of Vegetables That May BePlanted at This Time.

The following are crops that maybe planted during this month, with agood degree of certainty of produc-ing food:

Late cabbage for winter crops maybe sown, as the plants are easiergrown now than the following month.The young plants should be protectedfrom the hot sun and kept well water-ed. This crop should be heading dur-ing December, when cabbage is usu-ally scarce in this territory.

Another sowing of egg plants, to-matoes, and peppers for a fall cropwould be very profitable. Okra,squash, butter beans (pole), andsnap beans (pole) may prove verysuccessful.

In regard to the4 beans, I would saythat unless good cultivation is giventhroughout the season, and the drybeans are picked off from time totime. the vines will cease to bear.

The best of the bush limas is thestrain known as Wood's Prolific, andsecondly the Henderson's Bush. Therunning type of lima bean are bestgrown in a permanent location, onpoultry wire if possible. The beststrain of this type is the Carolina orSewee. Do not plant the large limasof the north, as they will not provevery profitable.

The best of the snap beans is theWhite Creaseback, and secondly theKentucky Wonder.

Pumpkins which are to be storedfor winter use should be planted now.A good and large variety is theYarge Cheese.

In this month of plenty let us guardagainst allowing any food to be wast-ed, sacrificed or destroyed.

DRAFT TO BE BY NUMBER.

Selections for Army Probably WillBe Made in Washington.

Regulations for drafting the newnational army, now awaiting Presi-dent Wilson's approval, contain pro-vision for every step in the great un-dertaking except the actual method ofdraft itself.

No official announcement has been

made, but it has been stated, and gen-erally is accepted as true, that thefederal government itself will do thedrafting, probably in Washington, sothere will be no opportunity for local

favoritism, political or otherwise.As the regulations stand now every

registered man bears a number. Thenumbers will be forwarded to Wash-

ington and the drawing will be en-t .by. numbe oJThe., identity ofthe numbered miel will be entlrely un-known to those in charge of the draftmachinery and can be established only

by comparing a number with a print-ed list in the man's home district.

As the numbers are drawn they willbe telegraphed to the home districts,where the registered men will learn if

they have been drafted.Then the question of exemptions

will come up, and this will go beforethe local boards. If a man is ex-

empted, the man bearing the numberwhich was drawn next in order willtake his place, and so on.

In this way all those available forservice out of the ten million whoregistered will be made ready for thecountry's call, and from them the firstincrement of 625,000 will be assem-bled. The others will be called as theneed develops. Plenty of time willbe given for drafted men to arrangetheir personal affairs and report tothe cantonment camps. It is hopedto have them all in training by Sep-tember 1 or very soon thereafter.

PALMETTO TO REPLACE CORN.

New Material for Brooms Discoveredby Accident.

Discovery of the fact that palmettocan be used for broom-making, whichCommissioner H. D. Wilson believeswill prove one of the most valuableof the war conservation measures,was made by State Senator J. R.I)omengeaux, of Lafayette, by acci-

dent."I was out fishing," said he, "and

we used palmetto leaves most effect-ively in camp. They were good forso many things, the thought struck methat something useful might be madefrom this wild product of the marsh-es. I had a load brought to my broomfactory in Lafayette, and we ex-perimented along different lines. Af-ter successfully determining the bestway of curing the plant, I applied theusual broom corn machinery and itworked. We had solved the wholeproblem, and I sincerely believe the

palmetto broom to be the best sub-stitute for the corn broom yet de-vised. So does Commissioner Wilson.

"I am past the war service age, butif I have succeeded in reducing the

high cost of one important staple, Ibelieve that I have in my small waydone something for the people of mystate. The importance of this broomlies in its curing. Under no circum-stances should it be suncured. Itmust be shadecured so as to retain its

pea-green color and to prevent it

from becoming brittle and breakable.The curing takes from ten to fifteendays with good ventilation."

Mr. Domengeaux is a member ofthe state senate from the Lafayette-St. Martin-Iberia district.

WHY RED CROSS MERITS AID.

Is Better Able Than Government to SHandle Emergency Relief Work.

During the recent Red Cross drivethe question was frequently asked as oto why the United States government ashould not provide the finances for nthis humane work instead of calling pon citizens for voluntary contribu-tions.

One of the first answers to this ar- ngument is that the voluntary contribu-tion system is more equitable. Shouldthe government provide the funds the Ipoor man would be taxed equally with pthe millionaire. Under the contribu- Etion scheme each man may give ac- acording to his means, and in this way 3the burden falls most heavily on per- esons of means.

Again, it is pointed out that the sRed Cross organization, under the cGeneva Convention of 1906, enjoys Ias a voluntary organization devotedto humanitarian labors, rights andprivileges which might be denied ifthe work were conducted by belliger-ent governments direct. All the bel-ligerent states and practically all ofthe neutrals are parties to this con- Ivention, which provides that the RedCross personnel, if they fall into the shands of the enemy, "shall be respect-ed and protected under all circum-stances," and "shall not be consider-ed prisoners of war." Provision islikewise made for the protection ofRed Cross material under similar cir-cumstances.

Another answer is that the inde-

pendent Red Cross organization ismore flexible, ready to act for the re-lief of the distressed at the momentof call. This avoids the delay whichwould be caused by the red tape thatinvolves and not infrequently ham-

pers government undertakings. RedCross work by its very nature is usual-

ly emergency work, and freedom fromred tape is essential to its success insuch cases. The National Red Crosshas enlisted the voluntary services of

some of America's ablest businessmen. Its plans of war time opera-tion are such as insure efficiency,economy and expeditious work. Theyare heartily approved by our owngovernment.

"No one, therefore," says the

Times-Picayune editorially, "should

refrain from contributing now or

hereafter to the Red Cross because of

a mistaken feeling that it should be

organized and maintained as a gov-ernment institution-a change thatwould, under existing conditions and

international agreements, hamper itswork and perhaps halve its usefulnessto humanity."

Statements of Belle Rose Citizens AreAlways of Interest to Our Readers.

To many of our readers the streets Saof Belle Rose are almost as familiaras those of our own town, and we are

naturally interested to read of hap-

penings there. The following report li(Srom a well-known and respected res- ppident will be helpful to numbers of hemen and women here in Donaldson- wville. w'

D. S. LeBlanc, justice of the peace, p6Belle Rose, La., says "I was in a St

pretty bad way with kidney trouble. GSometimes the kidney secretions were munnatural and irregular in passage. m

My back was stiff and painful. I had a,dizzy spells also. Uric acid filled my bisystem and my left arm became so tpstiff I couldn't move it. I used many mdifferent medicines, but without avail. wDoan's Kidney Pills, however, helpedme from the first. They strengthen- n,

ed my kidneys and the rheumatic o0

pains in my arms and shoulder grad- ti

ually left me. I have been well now Nfor a long time, although I occasion- st

ally take a box of Doan's Kidney t}Pills as a, preventive."

Fine Hay Crop on School Farm. 1s

In the course of a report covering 'A

his activities for the month of April, a

P. I,. Guilbeau, supervisor of agri- d

culural schools, writes that he visited t'

the Oak Grove school in this parish P

"to see some pigs raised on the farm ii

that I wished to recommend to some o

of t•he club members. They were dfound to be good and on Mr. Balis' c

and my recommendation they have all t

been sold. On account of Mr. Wise's s

illness the work on the farm is a lit- 1

tle backward, but as I found the ag- t

riculturist hard at work I am sure he

has caught up for the lost time. The

oats and vetch are the best on anyschool farm and will furnish enoughfeed both for the use of the farm and

to sell several tons of hay. The mule

colt raised on the farm was sold for

$150. The price is a very good oneand shows what can be done in that

line. Most of the farm will be usedin raising more feed and food, andwe will have to depend mostly on our

hogs for the money income. The restof the school work is also going on

Svery nicely."

Pensions May Be Increased.Confederate pensioners of Louisi-

ana may receive an increase in pen-sions of $4 per quarter, $28 insteadof $24, beginning January 1. For theSfi;st time in its history the state pen-t son board at its recent meeting erased

-Imore names from the pension rolls- than were placed on them at that

a meeting. Only 115 were added to

the rolls, whereas 159 were taken off,152 from deaths and 7 sent to theSoldiers' Home.

ATTENTION, CITIZENS!

Seventy Thousand Men Wanted Im-mediately for Regular Army.

The president by proclamation callsfor 70,000 volunteers for service inthe regular army. The National De-fense Council at Washington hascalled upon the State Defense Coun-cils to co-operate with the UnitedStates army recruiting officers in se-curing volunteers to bring the regu-lar army to its war strength of 300,-000 men. The 70,000 volunteers call-ed for by the president are needed atonce to complete the regiments of in-fantry and field artillery and to main-tain them at their full war strength.

In response to this call, the under-signed member of the Council of De-fense of the state of Louisiana, resid-ing in the Baton Rouge district, whichis composed of the following parishes:Pointe Coupee, West Feliciana, EastFeliciana, St. Helena, Livingston,Tangipahoa, Ascension, East BatonRouge, West Baton Rouge, Iberville,St. Martin and Assumption, bringsthis important matter to your atten-tion.

This is volunteering for service inthe regular army and the enlistmentswill be for the period of the war only,unless sooner discharged. It is notfor State National Guard service, nordoes it concern the selective draft. Itis the most valuable volunteer serviceyou can render to your country.

The time for volunteering is NOW!Facilities are in readiness for placingthese 70,000 men at proper training.Delay means the loss of valuabletime. Volunteering now will placeyou among troops the larger propor-tion of which are well trained, andofficered by competent trained of-ficers, thereby making the work andtraining of the recruit much lighterand easier, and will give him the ad-vantage of time and voluntary ser-vice, which, in military affairs, areimportant and controlling factorswhen it comes to the question of pro-motion. The opportunities for pro-motion in the regular army for menpossessing initiative, energy and willare greater than in any other militaryservice.

You are urged to volunteer now.Delay means loss of time, which is ofthe gravest importance. The quotarequired of the Baton Rouge distrietis 500; the number already obtainedis 109, leaving a balance of 391 mento be procured. The time in which tomake up this deficit is short. Comeforward and volunteer. Your coun-try calls you to arms. Unmarriedwhite men between the ages of 18 and40 years who have no dependents andwho are not engaged in pursuits vital-ly necessary to the prosecution of thewar are wanted for this service.

Volunteers may apply to the nearestp tS•an•s•ter of the secondib -rd orfourth class, and will be furnished.with transportation at the expense ofthe government from the place of ap-plication to the New Orleans recruit-ing station, or the recruiting stationat Baton Rouge, La.

Newspapers in the above mentionedparishes are requested to publish thisstatement in full.
