THE SPECIAL ELECTION
Ordered by the Police Jury for Jan
uary % Should BE Postponed.

The Police jury OF Eaddo Parish
at its session on December IA or
dered special election be held or
Tuesday, January % next
The purpose of the election is tc
levy a tax for the construction OF
good roads, which is to be commend
ed, but it should be borne in mind
that on Tuesday, January %, is the
date fixed for the nomination oil
governor and state officers and for
parochial and local officers.
There is no legal question In
volved as to the holding of the two
elections on the same day, but the
two elections would come in con
flict and would provoke confusion
and delays in receiving The vote
either as offered for the political
ticket or the civic ticket, and theEa
would not be as free nor as full a
vote polled as may be anticipated.
1t is the opinion Of the Caucasian
that every semblance of confusion
should be avoided, and this can be
made possible by the holding of the
election for the levy Of the tax for
road improvement on some other
date.
The purpose Of The Police Jury in
holding such election al The date
mentioned is to save. probably, a
thousand dollars TO the parish III
expenditures which may hc effective
by this election being fixed TO be
held on Tuesday, February q, the
date fixed for the second primary
for the nomination Of state and local
officers not nominated at the Janu-
airy % primary.
4 second election is a certainty,
but the greatest interest will have
passed when the majority of the
candidates on the ticket for the jan
nary % election shall have been
nominated.
The confusion incident to the
two elections being held by the
same commissioners on January q
may well be considered. For in
stance, at the court house box there
may be more than 100 votes cast by
The voters qualified under the gen
eral election law. So in other wards.
and the progress OF the vote should
not be impeded by the votes which
may be cast for thTs5speeiflc tax.
In the country for instance
Greenwood and at other wards,
where The vote is limited to less
than a hundred this confusion
would not prevail, but ii could mol
be avoided at the polling places i'll
Shreveport.
In view of these facts. we believe
that the Police Jury will promote a
greater certainty OF carrying the
road tax by deferring the election to
the second primary on February p.

over the result for the reason that this
is the first time in four years that the
honors have been wrested from the
state of Indiana. Last years champion
ear, the first winner of the Kellogg
trophy, was grown by Mr.. Fred c..
Palm, of Newton, Ind. 1t was also of
Reid's Yellow Dent variety, crossed
with Alexander Gold Standard. Last
years prize winner is the most per-
fectly formed ear of the two, though
it requires careful judge to distin-
guish the points of superiority.
The trophy awarded to Mr.. James
was made by Tiffany, OF New York,
for Mr.. w. X. Kellogg, at a cost of
$1,000. 1t is made Of Sterling silver,
bronze and enamels, and is a truly ar
tistic creation. 1t stands 80 inches in
height. Mr.. Kellogg's interest in corn
growing can be understood when it is
stated that the Kellogg Toasted Corn
Flake company, of which he is presi-
dent, has an output requiring 10000
bushels of corn day, raw product, for
it's manufacture. A peculiar feature
is that while the Kellogg product is
made exclusively from selected white
corn, the Kellogg trophy has been won
each time by yellow corn exhibit.
The trophy is offered for annual COM

tleman was awarded the w. X. kel-

TOf the Kellogg Toasted Corn Flake
Co., of Battle Greek, Mich.
Thousands of ears of corn from all
parts Of the country and of all varities
were entered in the competition. The
selection of the grand champion

logg trophy were. made on general
points of superiority.

The ear of corn grown by Mr. James
is of Reds Yellow Dent variety. 1t is
10 inches long, ~ inches in circum-
ference, and has 20 rows of kernels,
6 to the inch in the row, average SIS
of an inch in depth, and 5-16 of an
inch in width. 1t is indeed a very
correct type of yellow dent corn.
Mr.. James, the winner, is vigorous
farmer about 40 years of age and of
pleasing personality, man who has
given careful study to corn culture,
and who has achieved his success as
grand champion winner only by
years of hard work and painstaking
seed selection and careful breeding
from season to season.
