REM|hISCENCE OF
 THE BATTLER'S BATTLE
Nelson's Challenge Accepted by Street Car Con; Five Gents
 Winner Take All.

Out in San Francisco Bat Nelson once had a little argument with a street car conductor. The car was headed up Market street, and the rate of fare. as in all well-regulated cities, was nickel
 Bat felt very much injured when the conductor gave him a dime back out of quarter in payment of two fares. This is what took place:
 See here" said Bat, testify: i've got another nickel coming I gave you a quarter Fares are five cents each; you gave me back-'
 Fifteen cents" the conductor broke in.
 Not on your life. You knocked down a nickel If you must take money, take it from the company and not from hard working men"
 +Get inside" the conductor ordered. ''I am not paid to chew the rag with guys like you. Get out of here You haven't anything coming-and, be- sides I've walloped less sassy blokes many times.''
 "Oh, ho!" Bat gurgled
 Restrain yourself boy" Nelson's friend argued. Tt is bad form to soak conductor over a nickel"
 No, it isn't" Bat replied. Its good form. I think all I can take out of him would be a nickers worth He rang up the fare, and that ring won't go without the change"
 The conductor was a scrappy fel- low and Nelson was in training and drawn, and looked fit for a hospital.
 Move on or get off-or I'll put you off" the conductor howled again.

He proceeded to follow his words by action.
 Something happened. The scenery began to revolve for that conductor and everybody seemed to be hitting him at once.
 This one is for you," said Bat be- tween punches, "and this one is for Jimmie Britt It's the one l intended to hand him the night I ate the big steak when I should have starved myself And this one"
 Enough, enough!" the conductor pleaded.
 ' Then the motOrman, loyal to the cause, came back with his controller

"Returned to the city this morning

The Parish Seat of Bossier.

The parish seat OF Bossier is Ben
ton, which a number of citizens of
that parish are striving to have
transferred to Bossier City. By an
Act of the Legislature the issue is
to be decided at an election which is
to be held on a day which is to be
fixed by the Police Jury of that par
ish. An indemnity bond of $4,000
is required, as a guarantee, in the
event of the removal that the Off
cfais will be provided with suitable
quarters pending the. construction
and completion of the court house
at Bossier City.
The transfer from Benton to Bos-
sier City is desired as a business
1t is held that consid-
cradle annoyance, inconvenience
and expense is experienced by law
yers and liitgants and others hav-
ing to go to Benton, which is about
twelve miles from Shreveport, and
which could be saved by having the
court house at Bossier City, which
is accessible to the greatest number
of the inhabitants of that parish.

DR.. AsWcIl a Candidate for Condress

| The many friends Of DR.. J. B. AsweIl
in Shreveport and of this section Of
the State are pleased to note that he
has announced his candidacy for Con
gress from the~Eighth District recently
created by the Legislature to meet the
requirements of an increased population
in the State.
There was an ENHANCEMENT in the
Legislature over the reapportionment
Of the State from seven into eight dis
tricts, but by mutual concessions and
compromise there was organized the
Eighth District which eliminated the
proposed Congressman at-large.
In the reapportionment the parishes
of Natchitoches, Sabine and Winn have
been taken from the Fourth Congress
Jonah. District, for which the parish ef
Claiborne has been substituted, parish
of splendid citizens.
AS DR.. Aswell is from Natchitoches,
which is practically unanimously in his
favor, he has a decided advantage over
any opponent who may contest with
him. He has scores of steadfast friends
in the parishes Of Avoyelles, Grant, La
Sale, Rapides, Sabine, Vernon and
Winn which with Natchitoches consti-
tutes the Eighth District.
In an announcement of his candidacy
DR.. Aswell declares that he stands
squarely for the principles. enunciated
by the Baltimore Democratic Conven-
tion. He has entered into the Con-
gressional campaign with the energy
which characterized his course during
his candidacy. for the .Governorship,
when he was complimented with vote
which in the aggregate was surprising
to the politicians of the State.

A Pocket Veto

The bill providing an increase of the
membership Of Caddo Parish from
eleven to fourteen has failed to become
legalized. 1t was passed at the closing
hours of the Legislature and. therefore.
did not reach the Governor in time for
his approval.
The bill to make the health officer
of Shreveport elective. failed.
A "pocket veto'' is expressive Of the
fact that a measure or bill which has
been enacted through the Legislature,
within five days Of the end of the ses-
sion, may be nullified by the Governor
not giving it attention, or in a figura-
tive sense, putting it in his pocket.

WHY is IT?
There Must Be ReasOn-WhG Will
Solve H?-The People Interested.

Once upon time, especially on Sat
urdays, tnefe were visible on the streets
of Shreveport hundreds of wagons from
the country from which were sold coun-
try produce. and at this season, fruit
and melons. The price of melons to-
day ranges from 20 to 40 cents each.
Peaches are almost out of sight, but re-
tail at from 10 to 25 cents a Dozen
How many wagons from the country
were visible on the streets yesterday,
which was Saturday?
Every year there follows an antiei-
patton for fruit. When the temperature
in the spring is frosty there is ex-
pressed the apprehension that "the
fruit crop will be killed. - The fruit
crop, peaches, has been abundant this
year, and yet the peaches and the wag-
ons are almost invisible.
So it is with the melon. So it is
with the products from the country
chickens! Go buy a chicken, and a
fryer about the size of one s fist or
full grown chicken will range from 35
to so and 60 cents.
Instead of the wagons from the coun-
try we have the licensed peddlers and
hawkers who obtain these products
from the farmers who are no longer
the good fellows from the country who
had many of the good things for sale?
This is a serious question, almost an
issue, and the reason why should be
forthcoming. ........
Who suffers from this condition?
Not the peddlers nor the hawkers,
but the consumers, who are dependent
on the peddlers and hawkers.
The farmers should be encouraged to
come to town with then. wagons filled
with the supplies needed by the con-
sumeTs.
