Of a story I read once about . French
lady who lived in Paris.
This lady had a lovely figure,
whose beauty she sought to enhance
by tight lacing. When she was going
out at night she used to lace before
dinner because if she waited until aft
err, why then she couldn't get herself
down to where she wanted to. So
she used to lace and then eat sparing.
ly. az she was compelled to. and one
night when she had got herself down
particularly fine she was going to
make her dinner on a dozen raw
oysters, which she thought would be
nourishing and satisfying and at the
same time easy to eat and not bulky;
and as she laced she looked longingly
forward to those oysters waiting for
her, for she was hungry ~ 40 cats.
But do you know that, hungry a
she was. when she came to the oysters
she couldn't eat them all! She could
not. For she knew that II she did
something would have to give way.
She managed to eat eight Of them

tenth and the eleventh, but those last
three she ate with a growing conscious.

A GIRL SUICIDES
The Death Of Matte Wimberly Should
Be Investigated.

There was recorded few days since
the death of Matte Wimberley, aged Ia
years, an orphan, who lived in the home
of her uncle, L. M. Rambin, of Bayou
La Chute. AS reported, the girl placed
a double barrel shotgun over her heart
and with a stick of wood pressed the
trigger.
If it bue true that Matte Wimberley
suicided there must have been some
cause, undeveloped, which led her to
seek death, as a release from whatever
conditions prompted this desperate deed.
1t would seem that the report of her
death was accepted without investiga-
ton, and therefore, since her burial,
there are in circulation stories of cruel
treatment, which may prompt legal
inquiry on the part of District Attor-
ney Foster.

CONGRESSMAN WATKINS
Is Going to Hawaii on Visit on the
Invitation of Citizens of Honolulu.
Leaves Next Wednesday, August I8

Congressman Watkins, who attended
a conference of citizens held at the
headquarters of the Progressive League
where the invitation to President Taft
to visit Shreveport was concerned, an
nounced to several of his friends that
he would leave next Wednesday, Au-
gust IS, for San Francisco. and thence
will go to the Hawaiian Islands. He
will be one of the party comprising the
committees on Rivers and Harbors and
Naval Affairs, although he is not one
Of the committee, having been recently
relieved by Speaker Cannon. Before he
had been retired from the committee
he had accepted the invitation Of the
citizens of Honolulu to visit the island.
He will go in his private capacity and
with the committee will make thor
ough inspection Of the island. especially
the condition of Pearl harbor, which
will be reported TO Congress when II
coilvenes next winter.
The Caucasian has been informed
that the expenses of this trip will be
met by the citizens of Honolulu. The
journey with the return home will be
completed in from four to FIVE weeks

the planter can make good crop by
the use of proper early-maturing varie
ties and by the adoption of the inten
sive cultural methods. By leaving the
cotton plants standing until after the
middle of December last fall the farmer
invited certain destruction of this years
crop, for when he starts the spring
with 43 per cent as many weevils as he
had the previous fall he can not hope
to make crop by any known means
under the sun.
Arguments are still being made
against early fall destruction of the cot
ton plants by those who steadfastly re-
fuse to see the plain facts placed before
them, but the farmers who are destroy
ing the cotton plants early in the fall
are making money growing cotton, and
the fact remains, despite all arguments,
that there is no other way in which
paying crop of cotton can be made I'M
der the conditions as they now exist in
Louisiana and as they will exist for
many years to come.
Strangely enough, there are farmers
who still argue that they can not pick
out the crop early enough to destroy
the cotton plants by October IS to No
vember /. The alternative is to have
no cotton to pick out. Those who can
not so arrange their farm management
as to follow our recommendation in
this regard are simply advised not to
grow cotton at all, for unless the
weevils are destroyed by destroying the
cotton plants early in the fall, a profit
able crop is Impossible.
Do not wait for sad experience to
drive this lesson home to you. If you
intend to grow cotton next year make
all preparations now to pick out this
years crop as fast as it opens and de-
stroy all cotton plants by cutting them
down and burning them before October
IS, or at the latest November l.

JACKSON COCKTAIL
A New Drink Being Sold in Kansas
Its Effects Swift and Direct.

A telegram from Topeka, Kansas,
states that the latest drink in Kansas
is the Jackson cocktail 1t is drink IN
tended to avoid rouble with the Kan
sas prohibitory law and Fred Jackson,
for whom it is named. 1t can be pur-
chased anywhere in Kansas and at any
time, and the chap that sells it is never
in danger of prosecution, and the fell
low that buys it will never be brought
into court as a witness.
The drink is made of three parts ct
ordinary apple cider and one part Ja-
maica ginger, really palatable concoc-
tea tea Cider IS always good and gin
ger, being chiefly alcohol, gives the
mixture zest and flavor that old topers
say are about the finest ever. Besides,
the drink gets real action right away
Two good drinks will make man real
funny and cute Three will cause him
to rob his own trunk, and FIVE are cal
culated to make him prefer bed Of
shucks in corner of vacant lot te
a downy couch at his home.
The Attorney General and the State
Board of Health are hearing numerou:
reports of the Jackson cocktails effect
iveness, both as a substitute for rec
liquor and as iag-producer. The At
torney General and board officials arr
anxiously looking for some way to stol
the consumption of the cocktail, bu
thus far the use of the drink can not b
stopper by any law of Kansas.

AND
Printing

There are all kinds of Printing: Tho
Printing which is fair and the Printing
which is good.
1t is just as easy to have Good Print
ing, as the kind which is only fair. Il
all depends on the printer and the print
ing and the stock used in the printing.
We have the printers and the press
men, the best in their line, and we have
the stock and do only Good Printing.
Besides Good Printing. the Price Is
an all important consideration We are
not operating cheap psintery, but viii
do Good Printing at prices that win
meet any reasonable demand.
Do not forget there is difference be-
Printing and Printing.
The Printing we do IS always good
because we know how to do it, Prompt
and satisfactory attention given to ali
orders for Good Printing, telephone cid

We are always appreciative of the re-
cognition of all those who want Coed

Of taking an attorneys fee In a dl.
vorce case and forgetting to render
any services therefor Mr.. Straus will
have some explaining to do to Judge
De Bolt
II appears, according to a statement
made In open court, that Straus was
retained by Mrs. Sellie Thomas as her
attorney In the suit for divorce she
brought against her husband, King
Thomas. She paid him S35 as an at.
torney's fee and as costs Of court. and

under the circumstances, require him
to explain then, but he will have that
privilege later.
Meantime, Glen Quinn appeared for
