This statement of the con,il ION of the
association may be surp. 'sing t. those
who may have anticipated great proGt
this season. but it should be borne il.
mind that fairs are costly, especially in
the magnitude of the displays of The
Fair as it was presented. Fairs are not
intended to be money makers.
Dallas for years operated great loss.
and it was only recently that it has been
placed on a financial basis, the result cf
twenty years hard work. This has been
secured by the ready response o. the
people who have realized the fullest ap-
probation of the benefit of these fairs
and would not surrender them for any
amount of money.
As an instance of the value of State
Fairs, it may be stated that the City of
Peoria, H., offered $4,000 to have the
State Fair removed from Springfield,
ILL.,, and in addition pledged itself to
expend $4,000 in the erection of buil4-
ings to equal those now at Springfield
for which the State had paid large sums
of money.
It now devolves on Shreveport tc do
what Dallas has done.
The directory of the association ap-
peals to the citizens of Shreveport and
the surrounding country for thei;- most
liberal subscriptions to stock. This ap-
peal in view of the facts, that the prop
erty owned by the Association is not
only valuable and will increase in valua,
but by subscribing this amount oi
$4,000 the Fair will be placed on a
solid basis. besides it. will be strength
ened financially by the tax which has al
ready been assigned and Is collectabie
in the near future.
Shreveport can not be placed in the
attitude of unprogressiveness. but must
always stand ready and willing to dc
her part.
When the committeeman representing
this association call upon you, demon.
strate your loyalty by the liberality oi
your subscription.

CHARLES L. BEARD
Candidate for the Office of Police
Juror

The announcement of Charles s..
Beard, who is candidate for the of
fee of police juror, is clear and direct.
He stands irrevoeably for the enforce
ment OF law and order and for good
roads throughout the aprish. Mr..
Beard is the secretary of the Penick-
Ford Company, Limited, and the SON
in-law of Postmaster Steere. He is III
every sense a most worthy gentleman
and splendid citizen. He has be-
come a candidate not in a sense politi-
cal, but as a duty, responsive to the re-
quests Of his friends and the scores of
citizens who know him intimately and
will feel honored in the opportunity of
casting their votes for him. If he should
receive the nomination at the primary
on Friday, November 26, which will be
equivalent to an election, the Parish Of
Caddo and especially the Fourth Ward
of the parish will have an able and up-
to-date representative.

RABBI MAX HELLER.

New Orleans States The Central
Conference of American Rabbis, in ses-
sion in New York City last week, CON
ferred the highest honor III its power
upon Rev. Max Heller of Temple Sinai,
this city, by unanimously electing him
president of the body. This honor is
made greater when it is remembered
that Rabbi Heller is the first Southern
man to be elected to the high office and
that he was absent from the meeting at
the time of his e1ectian. He had intend
ed going to New York and was sched-
uled to deliver eight addresses, but
sickness among his people made him

were submitted the reports of the of
hcials of the association. Before the
session was adjourned after f o'clock
there was named a committee who
were directed to draft all appeal to the
citizens of Shreveport and to those of
the country, having some interest in the
State Fair. The appeal reads as fol-
lows:
A STATEMENT OF THE CONDI-
TION OF THE STATE FAIR.
At meeting of the Board of Direc-
tors of the State Fair of Louisiana
held OH Friday afternoon, the under
signed were named to submit to the
public statement of this association.
The Fourth Annual Fair is record
of the past. It was great success, at
least it was SO conceded by the thous
ands of visitors and especially by the
men who possessed the experience of
years in fairs. How Shreveport has
been benefited financially by this and
the other three fairs it is not possible
to estimate in dollars and cents, but the
advantages in many respects are mani
fest. It may be said in brief that every
interest in the city has derived some
profit from such fairs. Annual fairs
are not only great educators, but they
have and do exert the most substantial
stimulation in the promotion of agri-
cultural development. Fairs are reccg-
rized as being the most powerful agent
in the upbuilding of communities as
we'll as i'll advancing the general inter
est of the whole country The actual
demonstration of this fact is in evil
denee in the improved and better CON
dition of the whole country as illus
trated practically, for instance, i'll the
magnificent exhibits in every depart
ment assigned to what is generally
known as agriculture. We cite agri-
culture specifically for it is upon the
success of the country that the success
of the city is dependent. 1t is in the
rivalry suggested by competition that
the best can be obtained in the results
of enlightened agricultural advance
ment Besides agriculture other inter-
ests, embracing the arts, sciences and
mechanical Industries, as weil as cdr
cation, are encouraged to their best eff
faets
