Poultry Peddlers.

Peddllng poultry is a growing indus
.ry' ana Is teaching the people an object
iesson' to the effect that they should
raise more poultry, seeing the increased
demand. The peddler is the medium
oeeween the producer and the consumer
the transportation line. He buys in
the remote districts, and distributes his
cargo along his route to farmers who
nave only time to raise cotton, and then
On to the villages, and finally to shreye-
port, the depot. One of the most enter
prlslng firms in this line is that of Ro-
pert and Charles Phillips, of Claiborne
Parish. Each has doubl-deck wagon
drawn by two horses. The wagons are
loaded with chickens, ducks, turkeys,
geese, hides, wool, tallow, beeswax. etc.
one OF these wagons will hold $50 fowl
IN addition to this truck, and the other
will hold about 800. There are compart-
ments for each variety of fowl so as to
preserve the peace Tiny water troughs
extend along the inner line of the CON-
partments so that the fowls may drink
their NIL at leisure. They are given
three square meals day, the meal con-
sistihg of chops.
The wagons start from the northwest
ern part OF Claiborne, near Haynesville
the initial point of their route. BY
slow stages they wind along, the ped
oilers buying where they can. When
the wagons are filled they are for the
northern part of Bossier, and unloading
now begins. When Benton is reached,
the wagons are again lightened. From
Benton the wagons take the river road
to Shreveport, selling at the plantations
and, finally, unloading at Shreveport,
where return cargo is bought.
The peddlers camp wherever night
overtakes them. Strangely, the fowls
never attempt an uprising for liberty,
and when thrown by an opening of the
wicket-gate, they will follow the wagon,
perhaps with an eye on the chops.
The arrival of these wagons is herald
ed by the growing of ROSTERS, clucking
OF hense, squawking Of ducks, cackling
OF geese, and the gobble, gobble of tur-
keys as second base. Housewives then
begin fishing for their chicken money.
The return cargo, bought in Shreve-
port, consists of ga little of everything u
including tinware, tobacco, snuff, rugs,
clocks, chromos, dry goods, fruits, etc.
A small profit is made on each cargo,
'goin' and a-comin'," and the round up
for another trip begins. A round-triI
is made in about three weeks.

Tribute of Respect.

The following resolutions were passed
at special meeting of the r. J. Han
cock Chapter, U. D. c., held in Benton,
on the 23d, in remembrance of faithful
and earnest member of the Chapter.
Whereas, Ithas pleased the Almighty
Father to remove our beloved Sister,
Mrs. E. M. Laughlin, from the scenes
of her labors on earth to higher and
holier sphere of action, and loftier
and fuller experience of spiritual life;
therefore, be it resolved,
/. That, while mourning our loss, we
are solaced with the thought that she
passed away full of years and honors
after a life spent in the fear of God and
devotion to duty.
2. That her life is an illustration OF
the grand results that may be accom-
plished in life by the quiet, Christian
woman, living in the faithful discharge
OF the duties of the hour in the fear OF
the Lord, and doing the right just be-
cause IL Is the T1RnG.
3. That while we sympathize with the
bereaved husband, daughters and grand
daugher, we cannot but bid them rejoice
that she was given to them for so long a
period, and now lives in higher state
and brighter cline, where they shall see
her again.
A. That these Resolutions be spread
on the record book of this Chapter; q
copy be sent to the husband, and copy
to the Bossier Banner for publication.

PUBLICITY BUREAU OPENS
Forecast Of What May Be Expected
Of the Bureau

Chairman Williams of the Republi-
can State Committee announces that
the publicity bureau of the campaign
in Vermont was opened at headquar-
tiers In Newport on Monday. An eff
ficient corps OF special writer's and all

that by means Of the publicity bureau
The most thorough presentation OF all
the issues, both Of the national and
state campaigns. be placed before all
the voters. To the fullest extent the
meaning of all platform declarations
will be made plain with logical con-
clusions drawn as between the claims
of the parties, 'and the campaign ut
terances of leaders, both Republicans
and Democrats, will be discussed upon
their merits.
Among the issues that will be dis
cussed as supported or contended by
both parties. may be mentioned a re-
vision of the tariff with particular ref
erence to the Republican proposition
that the basis of revision should be
upon minimum valuation of the i'm
ported product. that valuation to rec
ognlze just differences in the cost of
labor as between this country and
foreign countries together with a rea-
sonable profit, thus preserving the
element of protection. Another sub
IeCt to which due attention will be Civ
en- will be the question of more
elastic currency rs viewed from the
standpoint of the two parties. Other
subjects pertaining to the national
campaign will be antitrust legislation
restriction of the injunction power
and the republican party as the tried
and true friend of wage-earners.
In state issues exhaustive presenta-
ton of such questions as economy in
state finances, economic and efficient
administration of state institutions,
regulation of all public service corpor-
ations doing business within the state,
continued improvement of the public
schools through more extended su-
peryision and related agencies, con-
tinued and extended Improvement of
the highways. and all other matters
that may arise as issues between the
parties as the campaign proceeds
