The Girl Who Works.

God bless the girl who works! She is
not too proud to earn her own living,
nor ashamed to be caught at her daily
task. She smiles at you from behind
the desk, counter or printers case.
There is sweet memory of her in
everything she touches. She is like a
brave mountaineer, already far up the
precipice climbing, struggling, rejoic-
ing. The sight is an inspiration. 1t is
an honor to know this girl and be worthy
of her esteem. Lift your hat to her,
young man, as she passes by. She is a
queen in the realm of womanhood. She
is princess among the toilers. Her
hands may be stained by dishwashing,
sweeping, printers ink or factory
grease. But they are honest hands.
They stay misfortune from the home;
they support the invalid loved one,
maybe; they are moving, potent shields
that protect many a family from the
poor house. God bless and protect the
girl who works.-Jerrell (Terds) Tran
script.

In Defense of q Worthy Veteran.

In Defense Of Worthy Veteran.
W. H. Scanland, Benton, La.
Dear Sir: Within the last year or
two | have learned that the Louisiana
Pension Board has refused a pension to
our friend and neighbor, P. Warren
Young, who was member OF Company
D, Ninth Louisiana Regiment. It seems
the board has in some way learned that
he was reported as deserter, hence
their refusal to grant him a pension. I
wrote Capt. R. J. Hancock OF this, and
he has sent me the roll Of Company D.,
Ninth Louisiana Regiment, on which
Mr.. Young was reported as "absent,
wounded" and not as a deserter.
Now, in justice to Mr.. Young, will
state that l have learned he made an
attempt to rejoin his command, got as
far as Minden, and was told by those
who knew of the impracticability of
crossing the Mississippi River that he
(still suffering from his wound, and
still suffers avith 1t to-day could not
possibly get to his company. Therefore,
he returned to his home and has ever
since been a resident of this parish and
honored by all who know him.
This is not written else than to ex-
onerate Mr.. Young from a charge l feel
sure he is guiltless, and knowing him as
l do, will say that he values his good
name far in excess of the paltry pension
which would be granted him. 1t seems
cred tape" has the ascendency in the
matter.
The rolls of the company are in my
hands and subject to the inspection 0.
any one, be he high private or pen
sion official; also the letter of Capt
Hancock, which reached me by mail thu
same time the roll was sent.
In justice to Mr.. Young, would b
glad if you would give these particular
to the public. Yours very truly,
WI. HUGHES.

About Cattle Ticks.

Some months ago the Bureau OF Ami
NAL Industry of the Department of Agri-
culture issued a circular under the cap
ton, elbow to Get Rid of Cattle Ticks, I"
from which we take the two following
paragraphs:
elm greasing cattle use Beaumont
crude petroleum or any crude oil, cotton
seed oil, fish oil, or lard. The following
mixture will be found useful for this
purpose: One gallon of kerosene, one
gallon of cotton seed oil, and one pound
of flowers of sulphur. Any Of the above
may be applied with sponge, swaw, OF
brush, and should be thoroughly rubbed
on all the lower parts of the cattle and
at least half way up their bodies.
"Should you desire to know more
about cattle ticks, you may obtain Far
mers' Bulletins 258 and PSI on the sub
ject by addressing the United States

The Banner Free For One Year.

The Banner Free For One Year.
If YOU are not subscriber to the
Banner and wish to secure it free for
one year, or if you are subscriber and
wish to have your date moved up one
year, send us three neao cash subscrip-
tions and we will grant your request.
A new subscriber is one whose name
is not now on our subscription list, or
one who previously received the Banner
but whose name does not now appear on
the list. It should at all times be borne
in mind that if a subscribers paper was
discontinued on account of the new
postal ruling and he wishes to again
subscribe, he must first pay the amount
in ,chich he is delinquent. To place the
name of any one on our subscription list
who owes us a dollar or more on an old
account would be in violation of the
postal regulations, and we will not do it.
To the young people of Bossier we are
pleased to say that there is chance for
you to get the Banner free for one gear
by marrying. This proposition is open
to all the young ladies and young men Of
our parish, and about the only condition
attached is that the subscription shall
begin at the time the couple begins
housekeeping on their own account, and
not sooner. That's easy, isn't it?
| Just word or two more. It would
surprise you to know how fast our list is
growing despite these "boll weevi
times") and, too, it would surprise yor
to know how many of our old subscriber
whose names were dropped from our lis
during January of last year on account
of the new postal ruling have since pait
up and also reneaced their subscriptions
And these are the ones-our old friend
we particularly wanted back. OF thu
127 we believe fully 100, or more, hav'
since had their names replaced on on
list, and we hope to yet gather in tn
majority of the remaining few.
