THE WINFIELD MEETING
A Great Gathering of the Sovereigns
A Hot Time.

There was held yesterday great
Democratic rally in Winfield where
scores of candidates were getting ac-
quanted with the dear pe0"a The can
dldates ranged from W5". Govern
ors to constables The c5ni-,i figures
were Mr. Sanders and MIR. !. :'!linson.
In a speech, copies furnished in ad-
vance and somewhat on the order OF
other speeches, Mr.. Sanders held his att
dlence spell-bound He was followed by
Mr. Wilkinson, who ripped up his plat
ltudes, which called Sanders for a sec
ond speech in retort At times the can
dldates were strongly personal
According to the Sandersites, Mr.
Wilkinson wasn't in it, but if he
wasn't, it is singular that Sanders had
to call for a second speech in which to
reply to Wilkinson.
General Leon Jastremski was una
absent
The Sandersites, as usual, are ndulg-
ing in their old gags. Everything and
everybody is for Sanders. The Sanders
ties are shouters from Shoutersville, but
Wilkinson and his friends are well
pleased with the situation.

Plaster of Paris Bananas,

Bunches of bananas that are abso-
lutely unfit for food hang out in front
Of the wholesale produce commission
houses. Some of them have remained
there until they have grown rusty with
age.
Couldn't get finer looking bunch
than that" said one of the dealers
the other day, .even If it is plaster of
paris. We used to put out the real
article for sign, but the peddlers who
came down here had way of pulling
one or two out of the bunch that hap
pened to be hanging there on the
hook. The small boys, too, had a way
Of making a grab for a banana or two.
By the time the bunch was on duty
under the awning for an hour it was
no longer presentable to the aesthetic
sense. So we began to cultivate the
make believe article, which is not
quite SO palatable, but just as good for
advertising. And even at that some
youngster in his haste will grab plas-
ter of paris fruit and get away with
it before he realizes that he has made
off with something bad for his diges-

In the West Indies the negroes eat
freely of the big grub found in palm

they call ''grugru," is not cooked or

in water for a few minutes they are
eaten with salt, pepper and vinegar.

'PATRONIZING
HOME INDUSTRIES
The Agitation of an Interesting Cues
tion-Not Practcing the Teaching.

1t is noted with satisfaction that the
agitation of the all-powerful questions
Patronizing Home Industry and Home
Products-is arousing attention. There
have been free discussions on these sub
jects. but one of the most striking is
from a correspondent. Louisiana Boy,
in the Times issue of Monday. he
oueried What encouragement has a
young man to enter profession, or
especially school teaching or the minis
try? This application is directed at
Shreveport and the State of Louisiana.
If young men are not recognized at
home, what is the incentive for stlnu-
lation? If all the avenues are closed to
home talent, why not declare candidly
no home man at least need apply? In
Shreveport and throughout Louisiana
there have been vacancies in schools and
other professions which have been filled
by residents of other States called to
fill these positions which should be oc-
cupied by home people.
This is not said to the discredlt OF
any one connected wit any profession or
occupation. but it is simply intended to
empasize the fact that we are preaching
what we do not practice. Is it not about
time that the preaching were being prac-
riced fairly and honestly?
If home talent and the home products
are to be side-tracked, why waste money
and time in accomplishment of home
talent and home productions?
1t is true there are two sides to the
question, but each should receive an
equal recognition on merit and proficien-
CIV alone.
