Shreveport iL MANY PARISIES PLAN TO EXHIBIT AT FAIR Judging by the reports reaching thi management, an unusually large num ber of parishes will be represented in the Parish Fair contest at the 1920 State Fair of Louislana. II. is hoped that every parish will send an exhibit to coripete for the generous premiums that have been offered and to show the State Fair visitors what is being done in agricultural development in its section. Tae Parish Fair exhibits will be showit in the manunoth Agricultural Bui!ding, the largest structure on the grounds, which is 250x150 feet. lUnt tormt space for booths, as heretofore, Is allowed. In addition to the quality af the products displayed, the attrac. tiveness of the booth will figure in the )udglng. Exhibits that are shown in the parish fair booths are not barred from the general exhibitions. They may also be entered in the individual con tesas. and many farmers who contrib. sie to respective parish exhibits will likewise compete for individual prizes in various classes. From the Parish Fair exhibits the visa;or, eill receive a splendid idea of the train progress in Louislanu, for practically every section will be rep resented, and scarcely a product groiitn in the State will be mnissing.

Sx\ EET POTATO CLUBS TO EXHIBIT AT FAIR One of several new divislous added to the Junior Extension Department of the State Fair of Louisiana is that of the Boys' S.weet Potato Clubs, whose work deals with the growing of the sweet potato, a product that is rapidly sominLg to . the front in this part of the country. Although practically in its infancy, this branch of the Junior Extension work has enjoyed much progress, as will be shown by the exhibits made by the members at the State Fair. The exhibits will be displayed in the Agricultural Ballding, and will be en tered in competition for a number of cash prises, Ineludlg $100 offered by the H. G. Hastings Seed Company of Atlantu, Ga., and $15 by the Shreve port Potato Curing Company of Ihreveport. Each Club member will be entitled to enter a peck of potatoes, and those xhbibiting will be required to submit a record as to the yield and the auethods followed in producing the po latoes. r' W. Spencer, agent in charge of the Sweet Potato Clubs, will be su perintendent of this division, with 3. W. lttker as assistant. For ca a'og and further it- nrioration, rjite to, . R.

FIRST AID TRAINING TO MEN AND WOMEN American Red Cross is Teaching Hundreds of Thousands Life-' Saving Methods. The pulrpose of Instruction in First Aid to the injured offered by the Amer lean Red C'ross is to traiin Ittin anld wotien to administer Fir-t Aid treat Went promptly and hItellidltlty when entergetncies demanid It. First Aid treatment is not intended p tfltke hlie place of it physician's service. A sur geon should always he sumlinne!d as a precautionary mleasure where there is an injury of any consequetiie, but when olse cannot he secured a few mnin utles' delay may retan a fatality. In sucih a case a person trained ill ll'rst Aid Is Invaluable not only to the in dividuall, but through iih to the cott uitiilty ill which he lives. 'There is perhaps lit wiay of ascer WIlnhtg the number of deatlhs or serl ous dii.sablleients whith r'teslt from lack of lproper satfegtrtlds or riprompt erltmtrgelc" tre'atmentl . It is to asfl Sert they number tluhotuý,:- daily. 'T'here can be no doubt that I.i ril plli cation of First Ail t.cithodrs to each ease would rtntueasurabl) lighte.li thie country's toll of ;suffering il iand dath. The disemlunation of First Aid train Ing and information has already pro duced a farreachlng and beneficial in fluence Ii toie prevention of.accidents on railroads, in mines and In great in dustrial concerns. The benefit of a widespread knowl edge of First Aid in the event of a great disaster, such as a train wreck, an explosion, an earthqulke, etc., is .obvious. Laymen who have had First Aid training can render efficient as. sistance. Many lives may depend upon such emergency care. Red Cross First Aid work includes 1) the formation and conduct, through Red Cross chapters, of classes for in Etructlon in aceident prevention and First Aid to the injured among men and women in all communities and In every Industry; (2) the introduction of courses of Instruction In high schools and colleges. The Red Cross is prepared to supply First Aid books and equipment at rea sonable prices. Every person In this country able to do so shoull. In his own interest, re ceive Red Cross First Aid instruction. Information about the course and in struction classes may be had at the neurest chapter headquarters. RED CROSS EXTENDS RELIEF TO POLAND More than $5,000,000 has been spent by the American Red Cross in aiding the stricken people of Poland. The organization has nursed the sick, fed the starving, clothed the naked, shelter ed the homeless, schooled the children and cared for the orphans there. It has conducted a relentless fight-n against typhus, cholera and other terrible dis eases. So today millions of men and women tn that resurrected nation speak in grateful appreciation of "The Greatest Mother in the World." Nearly 200 American Red Cross workers are now engaged in relief ac tivities in Poland. Poar large relief bases are in operation and eleven mo bile units are in the field. During the last twelve months this organization was largely Instrumental in the re-es tablishment of a million refugees at a cost for general relief of more than $1,0000000. Last winter one-half mil lion war orphans were aided material ly, and since then a series of large or phanages have been established to give them permanent care. But for American Red Cross aid. of ficials of Poland declared recently, mil lions of people in that country would have perished of disease, expox- re or starvation the last eightertn mnthir.s. And the work there must he k- ,L up for another y.tr. Capitol and labor are fighting continuously, and the only thing the public has to do withi it is to pay the expense of the controversy in the form of higher prices. Senator Harding denies that he said a dollar a day was enough for the workingman, but the ashmen are fearful that he will not guarantee them a dollar for cleaning out cellars.; General Arsene Perrillat, for many years head of the board of state engineers and one of the leading men in the state, died at his home in New Orleans last Saturday after a brief illness. FINE IFPPODR OME PROGRAM WILL BE PRESENTED High Class Outdoors Entertainment With Free Acts, Booked for State Fair. in the matter of free acts and out door amusement the management oi the State Fair of Louisiana has over looked nothing, judging by the large field of attractions that have been con, tracted for. An abundance of high cl. ca vaudeville and other exhibitions ar assuried. The Hippodrome performances will be ,age.d in front of the grandstand, and while they are under way, after. noon and evening, there will be spe cial concerts by Al Sweet's Singing Band, every member of which is a good soloist. The Hippodrome program that has been booked is of a class that would make a big hit on any vaudeville stage. There are ten acts already contracted for,- and before the Fair opens the management expects to have others engaged. Those already booked include: Royal Takito Japs, a fascinating and entrancing marvel from the far Orient, a team of extraordinary gymnastic performers; Haas Brothers, comic bar performers and knockabout artists in wonderful gymnastics and daring feats of strength and beautiful posing; Pless Rector Trio, a high ladder novelty, introducing a series of aerial gymnastics in defiance of danger; Eight ,Lunatic Chinks, Oriental laugh producers in exhibition of "The Chi. nese Laundry" and other Oriental acrobatic tricks; Robinson's Famous Elephants, a quartet of colossal come dlans with an astonishing display of pachydermic talent; Retter Brothers, the Antipodes' latest offering in won derful Oriental novelties, introducing a man who wrestles with himself; San-Yee Troupe, grotesque burlesque comedains and wonderful ground acro bats, in juggling, contortions and knife throwing; Thalero's Circus, the most singular, captivating and unique exhib.

POULTRY AUCTION SALE NEW FEATURE FOR FAIR in line with its record of being the pioneer in the inauguraiort; of new qx hibition features, the Louisiana State' Fair Association has decided to in. elude in the program of the State Fair poultry department, October 28 to No vember 7. a series of poultry auction It has not been decided exactly how many of the sales there will be, but they will he conducted on at least two days, and possibly three or four days, according to the number of chickens and (other birds listed for the sales. Owing to the increasing interest mani fested in the poultry industry in this section of the country, numerous fanciers are confidently expected to be present to bid for the offerings. Auction sales have each year been features of the cattle and swine depart. ments, and they have proved such die. tinct successes, that the management feels that similar sales in the poultry department will prove popular. It is believed that this is the only State Fair on record to include such a fea ture in its poultry program. The poultry department, in which the competition will be open to the world, will be in charge of Harley L. Williams, of Baton Rouge, as superin tendent. Mr. Williams is the leader in poultry husbandry for the State of Louisiana. The judges in this depart ment have been selected as follows: Poultry, C. P. Van Winkle of Dallas, Texas; pigeons, A. T. Modlin of To peka, Kan.; and pet stock, C. S. Gib-' son of Detroit. It is believed that the poultry dis play this year will be the largest ever seen at the State Fair, including large collections of pigeons and pet stock. General cash premiums total around $3,000, and, in addition, a large num ber of special prizes have been award ed by merchants and others who real ize the value of poultry raising and wish to stimulate greater interest in it. Besides the general exhibits, repre senting many of the leading farms of the United States, the boys' and girls' clubs of Louisiana will have many specimens on display. For catalog and further information, write to W. R. Hirsch, secretary, -trzeveport, ILa. Grip. Grip uually starts just the same as a cold with a watery discharge from the nose. You are much more likely to contract the grip when you have a cold. For that reason when grin is prevalent you should go to hed as soon as you feel that you are taking cold and stay in bed until fully recovered which should not be lone if you take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.

Sale of Hereford and Shorthorn Cattle. Two public auction sales of pure bred beef cattle to be held at the Louisiana State Fair are of interest to farmers and cattle growers of the state. On November 4 fifty head of Hereford cattle from the Parker Stock Farm, St. Francisville; the Black River Stock Farm, Jonesville, and the herd of Geo. W. Sentell, Bun kie, will be offered. This sale will be made under the auspices of the Louisiana Hereford Breeders' asso ciation. On November 5 forty-eight head of Shorthorn cattle will be placed on sale. These cattle are from the herds of Walter Godchaux of Napoleonville and I. M, Bishop of De Ridder. The Louisiana Shorthorn Breeders' Asso ciation will supervise this sale. Educating Children. Too many people get their minds concentrated on business cares, and fail to give the consideration neces sary to the question of educating the children. This is the biggest problem in any home blessed with youngsters. Too many people who have been very successful in business, are letting the children go to work or run loose, perhaps taking them out of school before they have had any high school education. No matter how much money such people have made, they have not done their share to build up the community. The ground in the western part of Colorado is covered with snow from three inches to five feet in depth. The mountain roads are closed, fruit trees with fruit unpicked have broken down under the additional weight At Ouray the temperature was report ed 16 degress above zero. More pullets into winter quarters before they begin to lay is the advice given by the United States depart ment of agriculture. All should be in winter quarters before cold wea ther. See that the hen house is dis infested and that it is tight on three sides and that there is no chance for a draft to strike the hens while on their roosts. A joint meeting of the Association of Commerce, of Terrebonne, the Association of Commerce of Lockport and the Thibodaux-Lafourche Asso ciation of Commerce of Thibodaux, was held in Thibodaux, Wednesday to consider matters pertaining to the intercoastal canal. With a flew of advertising the exceptional food value of rice, ar rangements have been made to serve the cooked cereal with gravy, free, at the State Fair now in session in Shreveport. Terrence Mac Swiney, lord mayor of Cork, freland, died in the Brixton prison last Monday, after a self-im posed fast lati seventy-four days. Brief and Breezy. The people who stop their papers because they don't agree with the editor's politics, must be awfully sur-! prised when the next issue comes out? on time. The price of paper is far too high, but as printers usually work out of their deep seated affection for the human race rather than for more sor did emoluments, they still get prices that fail to show a corresponding advance. Maybe if prices would drop a little more we could get hold of enough money to contribute to the charita ble "drives" that are sure to be start ed up again this winter. The fact that the mail order houses have cut their prices is the best evi dence of all that people are trading at home. One case reported to the United States department of agriculture in dicates how fur prices are advancing with increased demand and decreasing supply. A man bought a mink-lined overcoat for $500 in 1915. Two years later he sold the mink lining for $1000 and replaced it with nutria for $150. He wore it two years and sold the nutria for $250, putting in a muskrat lining that cost $55. In 1919 he sold this lining for $300, and still has the shell and $845 clear pro fit. Muskrat hides, once worth about 36 cents sold for $7.50, at the St. Louis fur auction last spring accord ing to the report the United States de partment of agriculture contained in a recent circular. Fur buyers say the supply of muskrat skins on the mar ket is decreasing at the rate of 50 per cent a year. The executive committee of the American Legion will meet in India apolis Nov.15, to consider the formal offer of a $5,000,000, memorial building which was made by the Knights of Columbus. A bill will be introduced in congress appropria ting land in Washington on which to erect the building. Good kinds of green feed for hens in winter are, sprouted alfalfa meal, chopped alfalfa, and clover hay, cab bages and mangel beets are usually split and stuck on a nail on the side wall of the pen about a foot above the floor to keep them clean. Keep plenty of clean drinking water before oyster shells, grit, charcoal and the hens all the time. Govenor John M. Parkez has issued an appeal to the cotton ginners of the state to close their gins for thirty days, to help save the cotton farmers from ruin.
