1t is pleasing to note that ravls

FFRD DUDENHEFFR.

Until the Governors issues reward
for his arrest, we do not expect to see
Ferd Dudenhefer, the defautlng tax
collector, in custody, unless he takes
notion to surrender himself If reward
is offered think the chances of his ar
rest would be enormously increased
Whv one has not been offered, in view
of the fact that the State will lose over
$4,000 even if it collects the bond OF

The foregoing is statement OF po'

MAIL ORDER HOUSES

Throuhout the land this old song is
being heard, and in the education of the
people, already printed matter is fur
nished newspapers at nominal price,
1t is represented that during the year
1906 $2oo,ooo,ooo were paid through the
mail order system from the products OF
home industry.
If possible it would be of interest to
know how much of this 100000, 900
went from Shreveport.
How much for printing
How much for binding
How much for groceries?
How much for dry goods
How much for clothing?
In fewer words, how much for the
things which are obtainable at home?
1t would also be interesting to know
how many of those who preach but do
not practice are included in that two
hundred million dollars?
Now, as many people know, The Cau
casian is peculiar and could not expect
everybody to favor it with printing, but
there are others, and if somebody has
it in for this concern or would rather
not patronize "us, why, all right, just
take it to another concern, but keep 1t
at home, right here in Shreveport, re
gardless of the saving OF 25c or SOC on
