time last year. Only prime drafters
sold above 1925, while most medium
weight chunks were secured at 1880
200. 1t took choice drivers to reach
$500. Mules were plain below $780,;

THE STATE FAIR AND THE CITY
COUNCIL

At their sitting Tuesday night the
City Council adopted the ordinance pro-
viding the requirement by the city of
the Fair Grounds by an issue of bonds.
This action of the Council is respon-
sive to the up-to-date spirit of develop
ment, and therefore the Council, one
and all, including the Mayor, are en-
tiled to the fullest credit possible. 1t
is move in the right direction, which
will receive the hearty approval of ev-
cry wide-awake and progressive citizen.
The election at which the issue OF
bonds for the requirement of the prop
erty by the city is fixed to be held on
February I6. This property, already
valuable and desirable, will be devel-
oped into a park, to be opened to the
public during the entire year, excepting
a hnited time when the Fair Associa-
ton will assume its control for Fair
purposes.
1t is not now possible to estimate the
advantages which Shreveport, as a COM
munity, will derive by the requirement
of the property and using it as park,
with the State Fair operating annually
in its good work. 1t is only necessary
to cite Dallas which several years since
acquired the grounds of the State Fair
of Texas, where fairs ar held annually
and which is the pride of all Texans.

Richest Western Heiress.

Misfortunes, they say, never come
singly. But how about fortunes? Let
us all be optimists. Here is Miss Jen-
ME Croker of San Francisco, who has
fallen heir to three fortunes, OBS after
the other. Each of them is plurality
of millions. Altogether they foot up
about S10,0oO,00O which supplies plen-
ty of pin money to the young heiress
from the interest alone and leaves the
principal invested where it earns q
large income. First Miss Croker in
herited a cool s5000.000 from her late
father, Fred Croker. That seemed al
most enough for one girl, but when
her sister, Mrs. Mary Croker HarFi-
son, died the heiress received nearly
81 600, 600 more With two fortunes in
hand Miss Croker was the most en-
We'd girl in the west. Recently her IN
Gle, George Croker, died and left her
about S3.0OO,000. Fortune No. 3! Miss
Croker stnl has other relatives alive
with other MILLIONS.

Four Women Lawyers.

The city of St. Paul has four women
lawyers, all of whom are said to be
doing a prosperous practice. Miss
Irene C. Buell., one of the legal quar-
tet, took down her account book
when twitted by mere man lawyer
at the end of a month recently and
showed that she had made $500 that
month. The man capitulated. He had
earned only $500. Miss Buell., strange
to say, inclines toward practice in the
criminal courts She says women
don't like to employ women lawyers,
while most of the men are skeptical
as to their ability until by hook or
crook they get chance to show their
mettIe. Miss Essie w. Williams, on
the other hand, says some of her best
clients are women. In her graduating
class she was the only woman, there
being twenty-one men. She had a
hard time getting place in a law
office, though finally she found an es-
tablished man lawyer who was willing
to give woman a chance. Miss Anna
Lambert has been practicing about a
wear. She also does a considerable
business in abstracts. That seems
rather a dull line for woman to take
up, but Miss Lambert says she doesn't
! mind so long as it pays. The fourth
in the st. Paul quartet is the veteran
of them all, Mrs. Nj. d. Smith. She
has been in active practice two years.

1t is interesting to recall that the
young woman who is Mrs. Tafts I'LL
official social arbiter at the White
House this winter is the originator of
the Red Cross Christmas stamps,
which have been sold the past two
holiday seasons throughout the coun-
try and have netted several hundred
! thousand dollars for the Red Gross
work in tuberculosis treatment ana
other lines. Miss Mabel T. Boardman's
idea caught the popular approval at
once, though it is said that she has
been amazed at it's wonderful success
For years Miss Boardnlan has been q
special friend Of President and Mrs
Taft. Mr. Taft, who is president OF
the Red Cross society, interested Miss
Boardman in that work about ten
years ago. She it was who practically
resuscitated the society when its
affairs were in confusion incident tC

a desk in the offices of the society
which are located in the war depart
