A bevy of young ladies were talking to
some friends on the corner of Wall and
Elm streets, a few evenings ago, when
one of them remarked:
"How different it is now compared
with year ago. At that time one could
stand on this spot and listen to the en-
chanting strains of two cornet bands and
a splendid orchestra, all playing at
once"
"Ah," another belle exclaimed with
sigh, when Ralph Nutting left the

The Congressional fight within the
Democratic ranks is over. It should
be the effort of every true Democrat
to remove every asperity that has
beed created. and to enable the Dem
ocratic hosts to move on the common
enemy with an unbroken column
Hon. Fl. W. Ogden, the regular Dem
ocratic nominee, should receive the
cordial support of every Democratic
voter in the Fourth District.

The Nomination Of Hon. II
w. Ogden.

The Congressional Executive Com
mittee of this District, which met at
Shreveport last Saturday, after tabu-
lating the votes of the several par
ishes of the District, declared the
Hon. Henry W. Ogden the nominee
of the Democratic party for Represen-
tative to Congress from the Fourth
Congressional District of Louisiana,
it now becomec the duty of all Dem
ocrats in the District to rally with
unanimity and enthusiasm to the sup
port of the nominee. MFR. Ogden,
having been in public life as repre-
sentative Democratic for the past
twenty years, is so well and favorably
known that he needs no commends-
tion. An old, Jealous and effective
worker in the Democratic party, he is
at home in its ranks, requires no in
PRODUCTION Sin the household of the
faithful" He possesses great ability
and indomitable energy-is a silent,
hard worker and not windy blow
hard-which enables him to be of
valuable service to his country in the
halls of legislation.
1t is not only the duty, but it
should be the pleasure, of every Dem
ocrat in this District to give him a
cordial suppurt. This is not time
for listlessness or indifference on the
part of any Democrat, but a time
when each should consider it his
duty to work earnestly for the success
of the Democratic candidate. All the
elements of opposition in this Dis
trict will cooperate to defeat the
Democratic party, and no Democrat
should fail not only to vote, but to
work diligently and earnestly for the
success of the Democratic nominee

Dealing In Options.


For many years the Banner has
advocated the suppression of option
dealing by law. The pernicious sys-
tenn has brought into existence a
class of gamblers-parasites on the
body politic-who must live and who
do live upon the producers of our
great staples, cotton and grain. They
are not only useless but dangerous
members of society. They toll not
neither do they spin, but they have
to be supported by the men who do
toll. The Hatch anti-option bill, or
some measure like it, for the protec-
ton of our farmers and planters and
the men who engage in legitimate
business-actual business-should be
enacted at once. It is not creditable
to Congress that relief has been so
long delayed. 1t is in keeping, how
ever, with the inexcusable delay
which marked the action of the ma
tional legislature in helping to stamp
out that monstrous evil and national
disgrace, the Louisiana Lottery.
It may be said to the credit of the
House of Representatives that it re-
sponded quickly to the popular de-
mand for the suppression of future
dealing in the passage of the Hatch
bill. The cotton planters of the South
and the wheat farmers of the West
have suffered too long from the ma
nipulations of the gamblers. When
Congress meets in December the
Senate should take up the Hatch bill
and proceed to pass it without delay.
The great agricultural masses, irre-
spective of party, are behind this
measure. They believe it will afford
them the relief which every intelli-
gent citizen admits is due them.

WE incline to the belief that it
pays for retail grocers to advertise.
We believe that there is as large
field for judicious advertising in the
retail grocery as in any other line Of
business. 1t pays to let people know
what you have to offer, to acQuaint
them with new attractions, to adj
wise them of some bargain or other
which you are able to offer them
and, above all, to let them know
that you are enterprising and look
ing out for an opportunity to please
them. But judgment should be used.

this personal influence in affecting
the profits of COWS. How much we

hired man who is we'll educated IN
the handling of cows, who has a quick

double the amount that a man OF
opposite character will cost.
Dr. Babcock found that one mixer
obtained from four COWS 2e.2 pounds
of butter fat in seven days From
the same COWS the week following,
another mixer obtained 21.S pounds.
Here was a difference of nearly four
pounds and one hall of butter fat

the price Of butter. Neither of

The usual number of COWS mixed by
one person in a large dairy is from
eight to fifteen. In DR.. Babcocks
experiment if butter was twenty-five
cents a pound one man was worth at
least twenty-eight cents a COW week
more than the other. When a man
is milking, say ten cows, this would
amount to So. 80 a week, or nearly

Once upon time, while guest on

officers Of the wardroom sought to
tease me in regard to relative merit
Of American and English sailors in
certain naval engagements of which

slowly gathering steam for a patriot

sailor friends turned the tables in my
favor by this jerky little speech:
"That may be true, but / was at
the commandment Of Alexandria, and
we were in bad fix, and all the war
ships of other countries drew off and
left US to fry in our own fat, and
then the Americans came and helped
US. They landed their men: they
kept order in Alexandria: they acted
contrary to orders, but then they
said that blood is thicker than
water"
At this the whole wardroom burst
into cheer, and nothing more was
heard of Chesapeake and Shannon
yarns Then another weather-beaten
marine barnacle told his little story.
