They Are After Us!

Just a few of our friends have been
slow to understand the late ruling of the
Postoffice Department as regards sub
scriptions to newspapers, magazines,
etc., and in isolated cases, even at this
late day, pretend not to understand why
we stop their papers after they owe US
for twelve months subscription. 1t is
to comply with the law, which has often
been explained in these columns. The
postofice officials are not lax in their
duties and they are making no joke or
farce of this matter. Note the following
clipping from the American Press, a
weekly trade publication, which has an
exceptionally wide circulation:
especial agents of the Postofice De-
partment are travelling around the coun-
try, dropping in newspaper Offices when
least expected to examine subscription
lists, to ascertain if the regulation re-
quiring the payment of subscriptions il
being observed.
sit is dangerous business for news
paper publisher to send papers to sub
scribers who are more than twelve
months in arrears. To be deprived o
the second-cla mailing privilege
which is the penalty for Noncompliance
with the ruling, puts newspaper out Q
business, for the expense Of putting
one cent stamp on every paper maile
amounts to much more than the entir
subscription business, to say nothing Q
the increased amount of labor for afhx
ing the stamps
It looks as if it's up to US, brothe
publishers, to get our houses in shap
and keep 'em that way. They are ate
US, sure.

By Way of a Reminder.


The directors of the Bossier Fair have
been busy for the past two weeks putting
the fair grounds and buildings in order
for the coming fair, to be held October
25th to 28th. Everything is now ready,
and with the successful experience of the
past four years and the combined efforts
of our farmers and business men. there
is no reason why this years fair should
not be the best we have ever had. Over
$1,000 will be paid out in cash premiums,
besides a large number of special pre-
miums.
1t has been remarked that the premi-
ums are not large enough to pay man
to bring in his exhibits. Now, this is a
mistaken idea, for it does not look
reasonable that we should offer any more
than we expect to take in. We are de-
pending on the gate receipts and dona-
lions from the State and parish to pay
those premiums, and the farmer shoule
feel that whatever time he gives to the
fair is for good cause, and it is he whit
should learn that there are great man!
advantages to be derived from making
exhibits other than those represented il
the premium list. Now, let everybod.
prepare an exhibit of something ant
come along with it and enjoy few day
at the fair.

Illustrated lecture on what is being

No ~set'' Days

Don't have a set day for killing
flies. Kill them every day and every
chance you get during each day.
In every newspaper or magazine
one picks up now days there is al
ways to be found narticle exploiting
the undesirabilty of the fly. That
shows the universal scope of the en-
deavor to destroy these filthy pests.
Death to the flies" should be the
motto in every household, and every
member of the family should live
up to it. It is criminal neglect to
make no effort in this crusade.
Flies not only menace the lives of
human beings but they also aid in
the destruction of cultivated crops.
Insects feed on nearly eve rything
imaginable and carry germs from
one plant to another. SHUTS of
wheat and other grains, rusts and
mildews, fruit rots, and all kinds
of vegetable disease germs are dis
tributed by flies.
Whether living in the city or in the
country, raising food stuffs or selling
the manufactured article, or just
merely a consumer, It is to your in
terest to exterminate the flies.

Here is something that is worth
many dollars to every farmer to
know: Sprinkle lime in your stock
tank and not particle of scum will
form on the water When the lime
loses it's strength scum will begin
to form, which may be twice during
the season; wash out the tank and
repeat the dose. 1t is cheap, not
only harmless but wholesome, keeps
the water sweet and saves the live
stock.
