ssNO Pay, No Paper"

In substance that is what Uncle Sans
postal regulations say. In other words,
a publisher is only permitted to use the
mails to forward his paper, or other
publication, to bona fde subscribers.
In the event the regulation is violated
the post Office authorities bar the pub
Usher from circulating his publication
at newspaper rates. That would just
about take his living away from him,
wouldn't it?
NB The Government holds that the
subscriber of weekly newspaper who
is twelve months in arrears is not bona
fde subscriber. Then it must be very
clear to all that we cannot grant credit
on subscription for a term in excess of
twelve months. This much we are will
ling to do for any reputable citizen who
is resident of Bossier or any of its
adjoining parishes.

A Boost for the Fair,

To the Citizens of BOssier Parish:
The time for our Parish Fair to open
is close at hand. The Parish Fair Asso-
citation has been unfortunate in the loss
of its valued Secretary, Mr.. W. ]. Daw-
son. Such misfortunes are likely to
overtake us at any time.
We are going to have fair anyway.
1t is going to take the best effort OF all
of us to make it what we want it to be-
SUGGESTIVE best fair ever held in
Bossier. l want to urge everybody to do
something to make the fair what it
should be.
Let the country schools come to the
fair with exhibits of work done in the
school room. The high schools can get
up some of their best work and make
creditable displays, thus showing to
others what can be and is being done in
our schools. 1t is hoped the teachers
throughout the parish will take this
work in hand. l hope you will all try to
be present with your schools on the
opening day.
Any one who has something that will
make good exhibit, even though it be
small one item should bring OF
send it in.
With the great variety of fruit and
vegetables grown in our parish this year

The above report was approved.
There being no other reports, the
Recording Secretary read the commu-
nications received by the President since
the last meeting.

St. Joseph, Mo-, asked for contribution
of 81 toward the erection of monument
in that city to the memory of forty Con-
federate soldiers who lie buried there.
The request of the communication was
granted, for if we help not those who
need help, how can we ourselves expect
to be helped?
A letter from Mrs. R. H. Randolph of
Alexandria, director for Shiloh monu-
ment, asked help toward the erection of
monument in commemoration of our
dead buried on Shiloh's bloody field.
Not only does she solicit the aid of the
chapter, but appeals to the citizens OF
the town, SO if any are disposed to give
even a small amount, hand it to Mrs.
Scanland. The chapter contributed 81.
A letter from Mrs. Longmire in re-
gard to the Benevolent Fund was tabled
until a future date.
It was moved and seconded that the
chapter send its annual contribution te
the old veterans at Camp Nichols (5(
cents per capita) and that the Cores
ponding Secretary notify each member
of this fact, and that the time for pay
ment of annual dues is now at hand, ant
to please respond to both calls by thu
tst of December, if not sooner. Thu
Treasurer will please furnish the Cor
responding Secretary with list of tn
members belonging to the chapter.
The chapter received an invitation
from the Plaquemine Chapter to atten'
the unwilling of their monument Angus

BIRMINGHAM NEEDS
STILL MORE HOTELS
List Shows That Both Atlanta and
Houston Exceed Birmingham in
Hotel Capacity

A list of hotel rooms in seven southern
cities, including Birmingham with her
two new 100000 hotels. dscloses the
fact that compared to Atlanta. Birming
ham will not have sufficient hotel ca
pacity for the needs of this city. The
data compiled by Hervey Borthers. lessees
of the Hotel Roden, shows that Birming-
ham will have 1865 rooms under the new
conditions, aus against 665 at this time.
Atlanta, the first city on the list, has
1850 rooms, while Houston has 1870 rooms.
Mobile now has 545 rooms, Montgomery
600 rooms, San Antonio 200 rooms. No es-
Innate is given for Richmond Nashville,
Chattanooga or New Orleans.
The data was secured for the edifcation
of many shareholders of the two hotels in
order to clearly demonstrate that Bir-
mingham has not yet approached the
hotel capacity needed If the city is to
grow, as everyone believes.
