Resolutions of Respect.

To the Worshipful Master, Wardens and Breth-
rem of Red Land Lodge No. las, F. aud A. NJ:
On October q, 1909, Red Land Lodge
was made sad over the death of one of
its oldest members, at the age of sew
enty-six years. An old and faithful
laborer while listening to the rustic OF
an angels wing lay down by the wayside
and entered into that dreamless sleep.
Clothed in such spotless purity, as all
true Masons wear, though his hands
have ceased to toll his good works will
live in the hearts of all true Masons, and
especially the members of this lodge.
Then, brethren, let us pause to offer a
tribute OF love to our departed brother,
Julius A. Martin, who has answered the
roll call of the Divine Master. After
serving this lodge faithfully, in every
office, for more than forty years, his
labors have ceased but his virtues re-
main with us. Therefore,
Be it resolved, That Masonry has lost
useful member, the country valued
citizen, and the members of his family a
loving husband and father.
2. That this tribute be spreed on our
minutes, copy be sent to his widow,
and the Bossier Banner be requested to
publish this report.
Fraternally submitted,
J. B. ANDERSON,

Our Products Attract Attention.

The article below is from the news
columns OF the Shreveport Times of last
Saturday. It calls attention to the notice
products of the field from this State at
tract even when in competition with
those OF the several states. Surely our
corn cane and rice must be of the best,
or it would not be awarded this place.
AS we understand it, this display is
made up from articles taken from the
agricultural exhibit at the State Fair.
If So, some of this very corn, cane and
rice was perhaps grown in Bossier Par
ish, for the exhibit from our parish was
among the best shown at the State Fair.
The Banner has for years been calling
attention to our great agricultural and
other advantages and it is gratifying to
see that this fact is now becoming more
patent every day.
We hope to see the hustling city of
Shreveport establish the Chamber of
Commerce and its progressive citizens
advertise our diversity of soil and prod
ucts in the grsat West and Northwest,
as is the plan. The tide of immigration
has steadily poured westward for years.
1t is time it was seeking other channels.
Productive soil that can be had cheaply
awaits the coming of the home seeker,
and it will build and sustain for people
| of thrift many prosperous and contented
homes.
The article above referred to follows:
"The Louisiana exhibit now on dis
play at Chicago is easily one of the best
of gathering of agricultural and hor-
ticnltural exhibits, equal to those shown
in the Windy City during the Worlds
Fair, according to a letter received yes
terday by L. NJ. Howard from George E.
| Gilmer.
"Mr. Gilmer, in company with Indus
trial Agent Guy L. Stewart Of the St.
Louis and Southwestern, is showing an
exhibit in Chicago in the great Agri-
cultural show now being held in that
city.
elm his letter to Mr.. Howard, Mr..
Gilmer says that Louisiana stands in the
fore rank with it's cane and rice, while,
strange to say, its corn display is easily
the best. This applies to the size Of the
cob, the length OF ear and the manner in
which the kernel stays on the cob.
"Mr. Gilmer further says good corn
exhibit will do more to attract the farm
ers of the Northwers to Louisiana than
anything else and with live CONNER
cial organization in Shreveport, which
could easily secure the distribution of
literature throughout that section of the
Northwest, Louisiana could be adver-
tised through it's corn crop in manner
which would be certain to obtain results.
"Mr. Gilmer's letter to Mr.. Howard
was inspired through his learning OF the
recent effort to organize Shreveport
Chamber of Commerce, he hoping that
the organization had been perfected and
some steps might be taken to secure
settlers for this section before the time
comes to plant another CROP"
