To Consider the Bridge Matter.

TO Consider the Bridge Matter.
The following clipping is from Tuesdays
Shreveport Times:
A conference between the authorities of
Bossier Parish and the mayor and COM
missioners of the City of Shreveport, is to
be held here at O'Clock Thursday after
noon.
The plans of the bridge have been sent
to the. War Department at Washington.
The plans for the future work will be dis
cussed at the meeting Thursday.
The site for the bridge, which has been
approved is 1000 feet below the V. s. and
P. tracks, and 200 feet above the foot of
Jones Street, this site being selected on
account of the height of the banks making
it possible to build high bridge without
the necessity of mammoth piers.

Tales Of the Street


Two distinguished visitors in the
city shriners' day were Elk Governor
sarles and Sen. G. L. Elken. Having
had considerable experience In politics,
Senator Elken made good candidate
last Friday night. Next day he de-
clared he fully appreciated he had
been led across the burning sands OF
the Sahara into the secret depths of
the Mystic Shrine. and agreed with
the governor that it was a far more
eventful trip than ever a trip up Salt
river could be.
Preceding the big ceremonial, the
two statesmen went to the Orpheum
theatre in the afternoon, Is relieve
the expectant ones minds of the worry
over his anticipations of what the
next few hours held in store for him.
Just in front Of the gentlemen at the
Orpheum sat fashionabIy gowned
woman wearing one of the latest cree
atoms in feadgear, Neither could
see the performance, for the plumage
and size of the chapeau Completely
INSTRUCTED their view.
Senator Elken leaned over and
asked its wearer If she would kindly
remove It. There was little whisper
ed conversation between the society
leader and lawmaker. Then the chief
opposer of the woman suffrage bin
subsidized and sat back resignedIy ii
his seat. But madame still kept on
her hat.
The senator turned to the governor
and said, Il asked her to remove her
big hat SO we could see the stage
Wouldn't she do it?" asked Cover
nor Sarles.
NO replied the senator shaking
his head mournully. "She said IL she
held her hat on her lap she couldnt
see the stage herself"

all times kept in close touch with the
farmers and the relations have been
most pleasant and satisfactory.
Thousands of the youth of North
Dakota have awaited themselves OF the
excellent advantages for practical edu-
cation along agricultural and kindred
lines. The field of the institution Is
broadening each year-and the infiu-
ence of the A. c. is becoming more
effective and far-reaching.
President Worst and his associates
and their predecessors are to be con-
graduated for the successes achieved.
From it's humble beginning in cramped,
rented quarters-the institution has
grown in twenty years to be one of
the big four" agricultural colleges Of
the entire United States. 1t has at
all times had loyal and enthusiastic
force of intelligent workers, who have
co-operated in harmony.

COST OF PRODUCTION.

or what benefit to the farmer are
high prices for his crops--if the cost
Of raising those crops has been so
high that profit has been squeezed to
death?
This is a question that the farm
papers are discussing with a great deal
OF earnestness.
They are also discussing the matter
of how the farmer may ward of loss
when crop prices are low.
The conclusion is inevitable-that
in both situations outlined the only
remedy is the lowering the cost Of
production-a matter to which. it is
said. farmers give by far too little
attention.
After reciting the fact that in the
west for the last ten months the prices
of farm products have been gradu-
ally declining, wallaces Farmer says:
One thing the farmer needs now to
consider seriously is how to reduce
the cost of production of his farm
products. The farmer has never
studied this as he should, in which
he differs from every other class of
business men on the face of the earth.
When the prices of manufactured
products begin to decline and are
likely to decline still further, the man
ufacturer at once considers how he
may reduce the cost of production.
But very few farmers, indeed, know
what 1t costs them in any given year
TO produce an acre Of corn or wheat,
or ton of hay, or 100 pounds of beef,
pork or mutton. They can not figure
the cost Of production with the same
ease and accuracy as the manufac-
turer.
The problem we are up against now
is how to decrease the price of pro-
duction as fast as the prices decline
and thus to get in the habit of produc-
ing at the minimum cost, so that
when prices advance again, as they
will in due time, we can reap double
PROFITS.
