Governors Proclamation.

THE fire less of this country,
amounting to over quarter OF
billion dollars annually, is one OF
the greatest drains upon the
wealth and resources of the ma
ton. 1t is an irretrievable loss,
not a mere transference of owner
ship. Statistics show that every
year 1890 lives are lost and over
5000 persons manned as the re-
suit of fir > II is lndisputable
that two thirds o.; this great waste
and loss of life can be avoided,
that most of the fires are due to
caIolessness and preventable causes
and urgently call for remedial
action on the part of the people
and their officials.
Therefore, |, l.. E. Hall, gov
ernor of the State of Louisiana,
do issue this my proclamation,
naming October 9, the forty-third
anniversary of the great Chicago
fire, as fire prevention day.
Il earnestly urge the people of
the state to observe this day by a
thorough cleaning up and removal
of all rubbish, trash and waste
from their premises; that all flues
and heating apparatus be Inspected
and made safe for the winter; that
schools, hotels, asylums. factories
ssai,fety -seeuredi that fire drills be
held in department stores, fac
tories, public, private and COM
mercial schools, and that the
teachers instruct their pupils
through short talks on the dangers
of fires and method of proven
ton"

The official crop report for last
week as sent us from this parish
says, that the prospects of a ban
ner cotton crop have changed
materially during the month
Frequent rains followed by in.
tense heat caused the crops tc
shed the latter part of August.
Catterpillars have made their APP
pearance and there will be no top
crop. Boil weevils did but little
damage. 1t is estimated however
that the crop will be better than
in 1912. Cotton opened rapidly
and picking has been rushed but
tor ten days all operations in the
fields have been stopped by in
cessant rains, which are causing
planters much worry, and if con
tinued the crop will begin to rot
Planters are not willing to sell for
current prices, many holding their
crops for Is cents. A large corn
crop has been made but only
threefourths of what was ex,
pected. This has. been an ideal
season for hay and pasturage.
Alfalfa farmers have harvested
four good crops of hay and will
cut another. Pasturage is good
and cattle will begin the winter in
fine condition.

A new light was thrown on the
universal peace movement by DR..
Mez, leader of the social-demo-
cratic party of Germany who with
a party of Students is making a
tour of the world when he said
that Europe and particularly Ger
many was firing of mllitarism and
that the time was fast approach
ing when European counties would
refuse to enter into war through
lack of sympathy with and en-
thusiasm for combat.

4 train loaded with agricultural
and mineral products of Louisiana
Just after the close of the Louisi-
ana State Fair, will leave this
State for a tour of Illinois, Iowa,
Kansas and other States, for the
purpose Of attracting desirable
homeseekers and investors to Lou
isiana and to exploit the agrlcul-
tural possibilities of Louisiana.
The train will be in charge of
the Louisiana Agricultural Dem
onstration Commission, which has
been appointed BY Governor Hall.
Experienced LECTURERS will accom-
pany the train and stops will be
made at farming towns in the
north and middle west, where lee
lures will be given on the re-
sources and possibilities of Lou
isiana.
The Commission is composed OF
prominent men of Louisiana and
is engaged in mapping out plans
for the train.
The exhibits for the train will
be composed of those used at the
Louisiana State Fair, SO that each
parish will be represented by an
exhibit in some form or other.
1t has been estimated that q
sum of SIS, 100000 will be needed
to carry out the work and the
Commission is now engaged ir
raising this amount. Each parish
will be asked to contribute accord
ing to its assessment, and sub
scriptions will likewise be solicited
from various interests to be bene
fitted by new settlers.
AS there will not be any fair here
this year, we hope that there will b.
exhibits sent by some of our progress
sive citizens to the State Fair il
Shreveport so that our parish will b.
represented on this tour of the North
west.
Surely no parish in the State il
richer in agricultural, fruit, yegeta
BILE or mineral products than Nat
chitoches and if we fail to exhibit. i
will not only reflect upon our loca
pride but show the lack of progressive
ness Of which we are sometimes &C
cused.
That individual exhibits will bt
sent to the State Fair, from here
there is no doubt, but we would like
to see some of our hustling citizens
get up one from the parish demon
strating the infinite variety of oul
resources, and if just different pro.
duct is sent from different sections,
we are satisfied that he Natchitoches
Parish exhibit will cause the whole
country to sit up and take notice.

Rest rooms in the small towns
are necessary for the farmers
wives" says Mrs. C. NJ. Conant,
the well known club woman OF
Minnesota, If the merchants are
to save their trade from being
snatched by the mail order houses.
Ii the rural woman has place to
rest and leave the children, she
can do her shopping in comfort.
If not she will stay at home and
shop from the mail order cata-
logue.' This argument should in
duce the local merchants to pro-
vide the rest rooms.

Cognizant of the anxiety Of the
citizens of Vernon parish in the
matter of progress being made by
the railroads which are to build
into Leesville. and believing that
they would appreciate any lnfor-
nation direct from headquarters,
the Toiler addressed a communi-
cation to Mr.. Ed Kennedy, presi-
dent and general manager of the
Orange & Northeastern railway. a
few days ago, advising him that
our citizens would like TO know
what Roadway he is making with
his road in the direction of Lees
vile, and received the following
prompt reply:
Houston, Tex, Sept. s, 1918.
Editor of the Toiler,
Leesville, La:
Dear Sir--Relative to the pro-
gress of the Orange 6 North
eastern railway, | can say that
everything is moving along nicely.
The thirty-four miles of tram
taken over from the Lutcher-
Moore Company is now laid with
steel, while the exception of few
miles, which will be laid a little
later on. Have completed the
grade from the Southern Pacific
at Vlnton to connection with this
tram, a distance of about eight
miles, and the steel for that eight
miles will be let pretty soon.
That will give us very nice little
stretch of track, and it leaves only
a 311-2 mile gap between the end
of the tram and Leesville.
The Shreveport and Calcasieu
Construction, which will have the
main contract for the road, will
be at work between Natchitoches
and Leesville within a short time.
| have had engineers within
two miles of Leesville, feeling for
a route through there prior to the
location of a permanent line, |
which | expect to have located |
within short while. / shall have
more than the Cotton Belt, and I
astrains into Leesville before it
does.
Naturally, | feel also that you
should stand by me on all occa-
'ions and pull for the direct route
70 deep water, which will, without
ioubt, prove of incalculable bene-
it to your town and community.

Timely Observations Of Events Happening in the Sporting World
Observation-Disclosures.
HOW TEAM MAY GET
81 HITS AND NO RUNS.
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.

Just as pitcher can obtain "a
strikeouts IN game without permit
ting run. It is equally possible for
a club To compile "a hits and receive
smear of kasomine"
That quotation from Grantland Rice
has occasioned considerable figuring
by the dopsters. \ number say the
maximum number Of hits that can be
made in one inning without a runner
crossing the rubber is six.
They figure the first three men up
may hit, that two of them may be
caught off first base or in attempting
10 steal then that two more hits may
come, filling the bases. Then the next
batter up must either hit safely. which
would score a run, or go out, or force
out Il runner.
Here is the solution or one possible
solution:
The first man mp makes a hit. He
is caught off first. one out
The second man up hunts ana beats
ont the throw To second. lie Is caught
going To second. Two out.
The third batter makes single IA
does the fourth and nth. The bases
then are fun ana two are out TIL,
sixth man up knocks the ban down
the third base line ana it strikes iht
runner. Under the scoring rules when
a runner is hit by batted bali he Is
out, but the batsman is given hit
That makes six hits TO the inning and
no one scoring.
