That coats will Ike short 10 an estab-

comfortably built. OF course many
women will follow the extreme styles
and wear the narrow tied In skirt. but
as n rule the new skirt will show
wider knee girth. The best tailors say
the popular six piece skirt is the one
to be desired and the simplest to make.
This skirt should have heavily welded
seams and be worn short, well above
the ankle.

OIL IN BOSSIER
A Good Well Near Ivan in the East
ern Part of the Parish

From Benton is stated that good
oil we'll has just been brought in near
Ivan, in the eastern part Of Bossier Par
ish. 1t is also reported that the well
drilled near Alden Bridge last year is
a producer. This we'll was drilled to a
depth of $500 feet and then plugged
and capped The dri1lers left without
giving out any information as to wheth-
er they had struck oil or not. Now,
since the Ivan we'll is declared to be a
good producer, a friend of the drillers
says that he was told confidentially by
the driIlers that oil was found in paying
quantities in the Alden Bridge well.
These discoveries will carry the Cad
do field some thirty miles eastward, as
Alden Bridge is about twenty miles east
of Oil City and Ivan is about ten miles
east of Alden.

although Mr.. Smith had not given out

THE COTTON CROP
A Good Yield Under Favorable Con-
ditions May Be Expected

New Orleans Picayune August II:
For some weeks past information has
been iRdustriously circulated to the eff
feet that the cotton crop was so badly
injured by the excess of rain over the
greater part of the cotton belt that all
prospect of anything like a large crop
must perforce be abandoned Within
the last three weeks the rains have ceas-
led in the unfavorably affected district,
and under the influence of bright sun
shine, interspersed with timely showers,
the crop has recovered remarkably The
advocates Of a small crop found an off
set in this improvement in the fact that
Texas and Oklahoma, where crop con-
ditions had been highly favorable, were
suffering from drought, so that they
predicted that the loss in those great
cotton-growing states would more than
offset the improvement in the balance
of the cotton belt.
Very recently the whole of Oklaho-
ma and the northern third of Texas
have experienced good rains, and over
the balance of the Lone Star State the
weather has been less hot, with clouds
indicating the possibility of rain in the
near future, Conservative people would,
therefore, well to take the reports of
comparative failure of crops with a rea-
sonab1e allowance of salt The specu-
lators who have been predicating their
deals on a short crop and higher prices
will naturally not take a hopeful view
of the cotton situation, but the fact re
mains that liberal cotton crop this
year is vital to the. commercial and fin
ancial interests of the South, as well as
to the cotton manufacturing industry
Should Texas receive good rains by
the middle of the present month and the
favorable conditions continue in the rest
of the belt the outlook for good and
even liberal crop would become bright
Even the plants as to the extreme late
ness of the crop everywhere are not
borne. out by the Developments of late
New cotton is almost as abundant in
Texas as it was during the season be-
fore last, while first bales are turning
up elsewhere as early and in many cases
earlier than last year. There is, there
fore, no tangible evidence of extreme
lateness otehr than ex-parte reports.
While high prices for cotton are ex-
treme1y desirable, it is more important,
particularly this year, that the crop
should be a liberal one. A large sup
ply of cotton is needed to put the man
industry again on its feet,
as well as to properly distribute pros
peHty throughout the South. A short
crop at high prices benefits but few,
whereas a large crop at reasonable pri-
ces benefits every branch Of the cotton
industry and makes business prosperous
the whole South. While
many things may happen to damage the
crop prospects, there is at the moment
no solid reason for fearing short cot
ton crop, but. on the contrary, many rea-
sons to expect good yield, so neces-
saty to the general good.

THE EXTRA SESSION.

The General Assembly of the State
of Louisiana will convene tomorrow al
Baton Rouge in special session on the
call of the Governor In the call is com
prised the Panama exposition tax; vest
ing authority in the taxpayers to levy
a tax for the. promotion of industrial en-
|prises, to authorize the Attorney Gen
eral to assist in litigation involving title
to public lands in the State, to amend
and re-enact Act III of 1901 which ap-
plies to locker clubs; to make appropria-
ton TO meet the expenses of the special
session, and authority to enable the Sen
ate to advise as to all appointments of
ojcers made by the Governor since the
Senate was last in session, and to take
action on such appointment
It is assumed that all the legislation
necessary has been provided and all that
remains to be done is to enact, and this
may progress rapidly unless the General
Assembly is precipitated into some un-
forseen entanglement, which the Gov
ernor may check.
If the legislators are wise they will
proceed harmoniously to the carrying
out of the programme already planned.
