tractive that when the young people
leave your home for homes OF their own
they will look back to the home they
left with great Joy and satisfaction, car
rying into the new the plans and he
principles upon which the old has been
built.
Get for your children ali that your
labor can possibly secure for them. Get
new labor-saying implements, not for
the lazy, but in order to make your labor
effective, in order that you may not
waste your time, strength or health.
Get what household implements you
can afford in order to save the steps and
the work and the health and strength Of
the women in the house. Get the best
books you can afford.
Give the children the best opportuni-
ties for play and rest and recreation, for
hunting and fishing, for croquet and
tennis, for baseball, that time and your
own means will permit.
Do not make life such q drudgery
that you and your children both will
consider it scarcely worth living, but
make it day by day joy and delight,
welcoming the shades Of evening with q
sense of satisfaction with the work
done and meeting the rising sun with
joy and energy, prepared for the worl
that is before you.

The Good Old Hand-Set Days.

I've wandered to the print-shop Jack /;
I've seen to my disnay,
The changes that have taken place
Since the good old hand-set day.
Where you and l held cases
There's string of linotyes,
Manned by individuals
OF the very latest stripe.
The kid that used to pull the proofs
And tease the lady comp,
Is making up the pages
With great gusto and pomp.
walked into the press room;
Once more missed my guess
Instead of the old stop cylinder
Stood big perfecting press.
The "can" we used to rush SO oft
When tourists stopped en- route,
Has been tabooed-With other things
The sport has been cut out.
interview the editor:
ssWhat means all this, my mani"
Said he: "'Tis modern progress
On the very latest plan."
If this is modern progress,
Then l would like to say
That was always happy
In the good old hand-set day.

How 1t Happens.

1t may sometimes appear puzzling to
both the contributor and reader to see
news items and general contributions Of
more or less importance omitted from
these columns and their places taken by
items of lesser Importance and even
clippings. 1t is explained by the dearth
of copy in this Office on Mondays and
Tuesdays and the 'sflood'' that follows
on Wednesdays and even more on
Thursdays. For instance, this article
(Which is easily in the lesser import
ance CLASSY is written Tuesday morning
at ten o'clock, and up to this hour not
one line of local copy has been contrib
uted to this issue of the Banner from an
outside source. Usually about three
columns are sent in each week, and we
are glad to have it-all local copy
when the items of news are of sufficient
Importance to justify publication.
Send in the local news-all that would
look we'll in print-but please bear in
mind that it takes times to put your
copy in type, and you are late with it If
it does not reach US until Wednesday
afternoon or Thursday. The impression
seems to prevail that because the Ban
ner is published on Thursdays any copy
of whatever length is in ample time for
publication just so it reaches this Office
on that day. Stop and consider what
a hardship this works on the printers at
the case when several of you do this.
We want your local copy, but please
send it in at the earliest possible mo-
ment-not the latest.
Another erroneous impression that
exists is that setting type by hand is
"about like operating typewriter"
We have heard that phrase used by Wis
itors to this Office number Of times.
However, there is no similarity what
ever. The stenographer has only to
touch the key representing the character
he wants and the space bar for the
spaces between the words. The printer
has to pich; up each character he wants,
l including the spaces, assemble them in
his composing stick, space out each
line until it is Of even length, and after
8 the paper is off the press and mailed the

There is no finer task that a man can
set for himself than to build a cheerful,
hospitable and comfortable home in the

Journalism in Cactus Center.

Journalism In Cactus Center.
Down here in Cactus Center, we amt
much on splittin' hairs;
In the fancy shades OF language we are
putin on no airs,
But we're shy one young reporter-it
was strange how it occurred,
Who mussed up brilliant future when
he chose jest one wrong word.
He hustled local items for the ''Stock-
men Weekly STAR"
He was young and plumb ambitious,
and he made friends near and far;
He never knocked nobody but he allus
tried to boost,
An we thought he'd make wonder in
the journalistic roost.
But he wrote with good intentions, AZ
most every one allows,
"Our townsman, Pecos johnson, hat
gone south to rustic cows"
He meant to say that Pecos was a.
roundup up his brand,
For he didn't know that "rustle' mean
to thieve in Cattle land.
When Pecos johnson read it he put Of
an extra gun,
| And he came to town a-frothin' with hi
bronco on the run;
The reporter got warnin' and h
hoped cowboys beast
And he started navigatin' for the calr
and distant east.
We got old Pecos quiet when he
busted up the press,
And had shot holes in the sanctum an
had made the type a mess;
And we'd like a bright reporter who
/ broke to Western slang
No more such babes shall monkey wit
our newspaper shebang?

j publican.

After Thirteen-Cent Cotton.

After Thirteen-Cent Cotton.
Under date of the 9th Clerk of Court
B. A. Kelly has received the following
communication from Baton Rouge, ema-
mating from the Office of the State Board
of Agriculture and Immigration:
To the Clerk Of Court, Benton, La.
Ma Dear Sir: The entire South has
awakened to the fact that the only way
to break the letters that have bound
them to the chariot wheels OF an OPP
pressive speculative market is to rise
in their might and assert their rights by
claiming to be at least a party to the
regulation Of the prices of their own
products, always, of course, having in
view the dominating factor of supply
and demand.
The South Carolina mass meeting OF
farmers and those particularly interested
in the cotton movement have recon-
| mendad to the cotton belt the following:
That each parish open books at
the county seat for signatures OF
farmers to pledge to hold stated
number of bales of cotton until
September /, 1912, or until the price
has reached 13 cents; also, to get
pledges to reduce the cotton acre
age for 1912 to not exceeding 60 per
cent of arabic land held; get reports
each day as to pledges filed and
i publish names of signers with the
| number of bales pledged, and for
| said parties to contribute not less
than two cents per bale for cotton
so held to defray expenses.
In accordance with these resolutions
l ask if you will not announce to tn
cotton growers of your parish that yo'
will take the names and pledges an
transmit them to the Agricultural De
: partment, where in turn they will b
sent to the National Committee, an
thereby aid in saving millions OF dollar
r to the cotton belt. Yours very truly,
E. o. BRuNER, Commissions
/ To the Farmers of Bossier Parish:
In accordance with the above lettel
:, there are now lists in the Banner offic
n and the Clerk Of Courts Office, whel
:, each farmer can appear and sign.
suggest that a mass meeting OF til
farmers be called, to be held in Bento
or some other convenient point, to COZ
slider this matter. B. A. KELLY,
