I'd, but on the return there will be no
transportation charge.
This concession, resulting from Wig
orous efforts of the fair association.

way to show interest in the fair. tt :
railway companies spend lots of money

stock furnishes stimulus to farm IT'S to
better their breeds of cattle. hogs,
horses and other livestock and this re-
suits in more products for the market
and, incidentally. more for the rail-
ways later on.

SPLENDID BAND CONCERTS
Will Be Furnished at State Fair b
the Rettiu Band.


the Rettig Band.
october 80 through November 6. no
finer musical program will be found at
any of the other fairs.
The Rettig band is not a stranger at
the Louisiana State Fair. 1t has en-
tertained the visitors to this fair for
the past two years. By their capabil-
ity and willingness they made a great
hit the first time they played at the
fair. 1t was that splendid record that
caused them to be engaged for last
year, and the magnificent fashion in
which they performed last year
prompted the Fair Association to lose
no time in booking them for the 1917
exposition.
Those who attended the past two
shows here know what Rettig's band
Is capable of doing. They also know
that the band was on hand in al sorts
of weather. whether it were fair. cloudy
or rainy. They were to be depended
on all the time, and there was no stint
ing about the number of selections or
enchores they played. Their constant
visa always is to please their hearers.
This year they have many new Sc
| lections to give the visitors and the
concerts promise to be among the prin-
cipal enjoyments at the Fair Grounds
In addition to the local talent. con-
sisting of close to thirty members,
Leader Chas. Rettig, who has been at
work on the plans for months. will
have several imported musicians. This
is for the purpose of making the musi-
cal program all that anybody could
wish. Rettig is a Shreveport business
man. The city's welfare is thought Of
by him as we'll as by the management,
| of the State Fair, and there Is no lin'!
that he won't go to in his efforts to
give the State Fair crowds the best
there is to be found on the market In
/ the way. of expert band music.
| Every morning, afternoon and nlgh,
there will he concerts by this band
Don't miss them. Remember the dates

serving the efficiency of the court OF the taxpayers

District Judges there is provision for nterchangng and
