B0ssier After First Prize.

Mr.. N. w. Sentell, President of the
Bossier Parish Fair Association, has
sent to the State Fair Association a
check for $40 and the application of the
association for space for an exhibit at
the State Fair, to be held during No
vember next.
Boosters entry in the contest for the
first prize offered for the best display
prepared by parish fair association is
the first to be received by the Secretary.
1t goes to show that the Bossier Associ-
alton is again in the competition with
the same earnestness that was manifest
ed by the officials of the organization
during 1906 and 1907. Both years our
parish won the first prize.
President Sentell realizes that there
will be at least eight or ten fairs after
the premium this year, and he has an
nounced that because of the warm COM
petition anticipated, the association will
endeavor to surpass all former efforts.

Hunters Licenses.

Sheriff J. F. Edwards has received the
following notice from Hon. Paul Capde-
veille, State Auditor, notifying him of
recent legislation which demands that
all hunters must provide themselves with
licenses:
"Section 8 of Act No. 27S of the Acts
Of 1908 requires that the Auditor Of the
State of Louisiana shall issue to the Tax
Collector of each of the parishes Of the
State hunting licenses of ST for all resi-
dents and S25 for nonresidents. If any
of these licenses are needed by you,
kindly make requisition on this depart
ment for them"
We have not as yet seen the act and
cannot, OF course, state whether or not
it is conditional, or whether or not the
enforcement of the new law is partially
left optional with the parishes, as sug-
gested by friend. However, we pre-
sumo not. No doubt it is intended that
it shall be enforced throughout our
entire State and to take effect with the
opening of the coming season.
| We welcome it, and gladly. The ques-
ton Of demanding a license of hunters
is one we have given no little thought.
And it cannot but result in much good
if the revenue derived therefrom is only
given over to the proper public funds Of
our State and parishes. AS to this we
are not informed, but think portion Of
it should be set aside for game preserva-
ton and propagation. Without this we
will soon have no game at all, and with
no game to hunt no one would want a
license. So both hunters and other res
idents will alike profit on account of the
new tax, if it is to be collected for any
great period.
We have been told by Deputy Sheriff
l.. G.. Smith that the licenses have been
ordered and that already two have been
spoken for by residents of our parish
(the President of our Police Jury and
the local editor.)

= OUR EXHIBIT AT THE STATE FAIR. x

The Bossier Fair Association is going
to compete for the prizes offered by the
State Fair of Louisiana "For the Best
Display of Agricultural Products from
Parish Fairs
The prizes are worth going after:
First, slOO; second, $500; third, $500;
fourth, S1OO.
These awards, in connection with the
offer of the State Commissioner of Agri-
culture to pay half the freight and S25
for installing the exhibit at the State
Fair, will be great inducement for each
parish fair association to make a good
showing.
For the past two years the prizes were
$500, $500 and 500, without ether as
sistance from the State Department of
Agriculture. Only few parish fairs
competed. Bossier has captured the
blue ribbon each time, and we hope to
do it again this year, and it will mean
work to get it.
The conditions governing the awards
for these exhibits were published in the
Shreveport Times of July 22d. The basis
on which they will be made are as
follows:
/ Garden products, embracing melons, veg
! etableS, ETC.. -.lo
