NEWSPAPERS
 MUST COLLECT

The following is from the Pub fishers Auxiliary, a trade paper, that is a warning to subscribers as we'll as publishers:
 Special agents of the post office department are travelling around over the country drop ping into newspaper offices when least expected to examine subscription lists, to ascertain if the regulation requiring pay ment of subscription is being ob- served. Seversl Iowa newspa- pers have been in trouble and here is a case told of by the Des Moines Capital:
 Editor Fay of Lyons, Iowa, has been called to Washington city because his subscription list is not as well paid up as the law requires. He will have to explain to the government offici- als why he has not compelled his subscribers to pay up ac- cording to the postal rules. An inspector had visited him two months previously and his list was said to be pretty thoroughly paid up, but evidently it was not sufficiently so. It seems a little tough that country editors have to be hauled up before the gov ernment under the charge of violating federal laws just be cause they do not eternally keep dunning their subscribers for the small sum they owe on sub- scriptions, but it is like the end of the world, no one knows when 1t cometh, and no editor knows what day an inspector may pop in and ask to see his list. And if too many subscrib- CTS are behind on their paper it means trouble with the govern ment. 1tputs the editor in such shape that he is compelled to force his collections unusual prompt paying list of subscrib CTS.
 It is very dangerous business for a newspaper man to send pa- pers to subscribers who are more than twelve months in arrears. To be derived of the secondclass mailing privilege, which is the penalty for noncompliance with the rulings, puts a newspaper out of business, to say nothing of the increased amount of labor which would be required in af- fixing the stamps.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
The Erection of a Building Is Being
Considered-$2,5oo Towards 1t.

As an indication of the better feeling
which prevails in Shreveport and that
the town is not going to "shoel' but is
on the upgrade move, Notwithstanding
the swiping of the saloon, Capt. Peter
Youree has initiated a movement where
by magnificent building for the Cham
Der of Commerce may be constructed.
He favors the organization of stock
company for the construction of such a
building and evinces his sincerity by of
fering to subscribe $4,000 in stock.
The Chamber of Commerce should
own its own building, and this can be
possible as suggested by Captain You-
rec, in which all progressive citizens
could become shareholders. Now is the
time for action. Onward is the slogan.
1t is becoming apparent that new life
has been inspired in the old town
through the organization of Chamber
of Commerce.

BASE BALL
Ruston Boys Win Both Games-Kidd's
Fine Pitching.

Centenary College played the Indus
trial Institute boys Tuesday and We'd
nesday evenings and were defeated in
both games. Tuesdays game was won
by Ruston by a score of 9 to I, Pollock
of Ruston being given good support and
pitching a good game, which was re
sponsible for the defeat of Centenary.
Mercer pitched good game but was
given poor support.
Yesterdays game also went to the
Ruston team by the score of E to 2.
This was much better game than the
one the day previous. The feature of
the game was the superb pitching of
Kidd, who struck out II men. He was
given good support Kidd allowed only
two hits, both of which were secured by
Mercer. Wilson for Centenary also
pitched good game but was given poor
support He did good work several
times when the bases were full.

ANTI-SALOON LEAGUE
Is Spreading and Growing Stronger
National Legislation.

At the close of the session of The
Anti Saloon League of Georgia held ii
Atlanta yesterday, resolutions were
adopted which advocate national prohi
bition and insist upon the election Of
public officials who are supporters oil
that cause. The resolutions further call
upon the churches to aid in the move
ment, denounce the effort to use the
league as a political asset, and condemn
the present interstate commerce laws
and ask Congress to alter them so that
the States may exercise their police
power to prevent the shipment OF
liquors into their territory.
In a separate resolution the Southern
congressman are urged to support the
Mil1er-Curtis bill, which permits any
State to seize liquors shipped into its
territory, if such shipment is contrary
to its laws.

month, when they will make an effort
to have certain legislation further re

turn their efforts will take it is impos-
sible to say, but there is a strong and
influential element which does not de-

ADMIRAL EVANS ON THE
NAVAL STATION.

In support of his belief that great
naval station should be established and
maintained at New Orleans, Rear Ad-
mira1 Evans assigns reasons whose
strength is admitted in a general way
by most naval experts, but which are
seldom or never cited by American Of
fcers in defense of the local station,
since sundry bureaucrats in the Navy
Department began their covert cam
paign against it "One thing that re-
conrnends New Orleans to me" said
the veteran navy man in the course OF
an interview last Monday, is the fact
that she is safe distance from the sea,
rendering it next to impossible for an
enemy to reach the station to destroy
it. Another thing is that New Orleans
has splendid railroad facilities to con-
vey all the supplies needed; and again
the harbor is big enough for the larg-
est ships. Times Democrat April 6.

LOSING IT'S TAIL
Is Prof. Barnard's Observation of Hal
ley's Comet-Wil1 Not Be Visible Be
fore April Twentieth.

A special to the Times Democrat dat
ed Chicago, April 5, says: Halley's
comet appears to be disintegrating as il
draws nearer the sun. according to OBJ
servations made of it before it went into
temporary eclipse three weeks ago
This was stated by Prof. E. E. Barnard
of Yerkes Observatory, who was one OF
the first to photograph the celestial wan
derer on its temperance last fall, and
who has been studying it during the
winter.
Prof Barnard says his observations
show that the celestial wanderer is
gradually losing its TAIL and that, as
during the last appearance of the comet,
it may pass within view of the earth
minus that awesome appendage. On the
last occasion of its whirl around the
sun it gathered a new tail after com
pleting the circuit, and Just before dis
appearing from view on its journey into
unfathomed space.
If Prof. Barnard's observations are
borne out, one of the great dangers
feared from Halley's comet will be
eliminated Scientists have apprehend
ed the result if the tail of the comet,
charged as ii. is with gases, swept the
atmosphere of the earth.
The comet may surprise us by unex
pected developments in the next two
weeks" said Prof Barnard today. "The
observations which have been made up
to date show that it is diminishing III
substance and luminosity. 1t probably
was a great comet when it shone down
on the boats of William the Conqueror
as they crossed the English channel, but
since then it has been losing power
The comet will not be visible to the
naked eye before April 20, according to
Prof. Barnard 1t will then be visible
only at dawn.
