ODD FELLOWS LEAD.


According to the last reports Of the
supreme bodies OF the various frater.
nal organizations furnished to the
Worlds Almanac, the membership Of
the ten leading associations in the
United States and Canada is as follows:
Odd Fellows 1, 562,829, Freemasons
1,522 47S, Modern Woodmefl of Ameri-
ca 1,219,39O, Knights of Pythias. no.
637, Woodmen Of the World 666,S74,
Order of the Eastern Star 100000, In

Improved Order of Red Men sos, 17s,
Benevolent and Protective Order ct
Elks 3S4,742, Loyal Order of Moose
33S,551.
This shows that the Odd Fellows
lead. 1t is not apparent whether the
female membership of the Rebekah
degree is included in this computation.
Possibly the Masons lead, II the fe-
male members Of the Eastern Star be
added to their list.

AGRICULTURAL TRAIN
TOUR IS POSTPONED

1t should be generally regretted
that the Louisiana Agricultural Com
mission has found it necessary to post
pone its advertising tour through the
West until the fall Of 1914. 1t had
been proposed to make the tour i'm
mediately after the State Fair at
Shreveport, using its exhibits to
stock the train. The Commits
sion found the present railroad rates
prohibitive, considering the funds at
hand. This is distinctly misfortune
to all concerned. Louisiana loses the
advertisement. The railroads lose the
business of the immigration that
would follow, or at least 1t is post.
poned for a year. individuals, land
poor and debt-ridden, lose the chance
of disposing of property.
1t sets back the dial of progress one
year. That is all bad.

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEET.

The Parish Democratic Executive
Committee met at the Court House in
the town of st. Francisville, La, on
Saturday, October 1913, at II a. M,
pursuant to call, and according to law.
On call Of the roll there were pres
ent a quorum, in person and by writ
ten proxy. The Chairman announced
the object of the meeting, when, it ap-
pearing that the expense of the sta
tionery for the primary election for
delegates to the Constitutional Con-
vention, except the expense Of print
ing the tickets, must be borne by the
candidates for delegate, and this Com
mittee having fixed the amount OF de-
posit required of each candidate at
$500, which amount is entirely too
small to meet the expenses, 1t was, on
motion, resolved that the amount of de-
posit of each candidate for delegate be
changed from $500 to $3.50.
The question OF Mr.. M. s. Taylor
qualifications and eligibility to become
candidate for delegate having been
raised, the Committee went into exec
utive session, when being put to a
vote, he was declared by vote OF
to 8, to be ineligible as candidate
for the said position, on the grounds
that he was duly qualified Notary
Public in and for the Parish of Caddo
and Is SO at the present time.
The following named persons having
notified this Committee that they are
candidates for delegate to the Consti
tutional Convention, and having depos
tied the amount fixed by the Commit
tee on motion duly seconded, they
were accordingly declared to be candi
dates.f for delegate to the said Conven
ton: Elrie Robinson and VIM. l.. Stir
ling.
The Commissioners, Clerks of Elec
ton and Peace officers were selected
according to law. (They appear else
/, where in this paper.)
There being no further business, oil
motion, duly seconded, the Committee
then adjourned.

They do not see in it a means to do

STATES sPoRTsMEN FAVORED.

. y
The Louisiana Conservation Com
mission received a telegram Wednss-
day from 7. S. Palmer, United States
Department of Agriculture, Biological
Survey, to the effect that President
Wilson had approved the migratory
regulations making the water fowl
season for Louisiana begin Nov. and
end Feb /. This is a decided victory
for Louisiana sportsmen, who had
backed the commission in urging an
amendment to the provision Of the
Wicks- McClain migratory bird law.
The fundamental principles for the
conservation of migratory birds is con.
tanned in the act, but rules and regula.
tons were left to the Biological Sur
vey of the Department Of Agriculture.
1t was first provided that the open sea.
son should begin in Louisiana Oct.
and end Jan. 16. This was opposed,
on the ground that October is month
too hot for hunting; that the birds are
worn out when they reach the state;
that they are easy of slaughter at that
time, etc. 1t was suggested that the
season for slaughter begin Nov. ! and
end Feb. Is. According to the infOr.
nation, the President agreed as to the
date for the opening of the season, but
curtailed the hunting season fifteen
days.

TO PROHIBIT CALF SLAUGHTER

Veterinary Adviser:
Convinced that the high prices of
meats could be sharply and effectively
reduced through the enactment OF a
law prohibiting the slaughter of calves,
an appeal will be made to congress.
Eminent physicians throughout the
country will be asked to testify as to
the unwholesomeness of veal as food.
Argentine, it is pointed out, has law
which prohibits the killing of male
beef animal until it is three years old,
and female until it has reached six
years old Leaders in the movement
contend that the slaughter Of calves
in the United States has not only rails
ed the price of meats, but is threaten
ing it's standing as meat producing
country.

Guilty as charged" was the unani-
nous finding of the grand jury of West
Feliciana Parish after a visit to The
True Democrat Office, last Tuesday af-
ternoon, during which thorough in
spection of the plant was made and a
demonstration of the workings of our
big Mergenthaler Linotype witnessed.
For some time this paper has made
the above assertions without fear of
successful contradiction. Now that
they have been thoroughly and impair
TALLY investigated by twelve good men
and true we have no hesitancy in pro.
nouncing their verdict to our readers.
Shortly before the grand jury adj
journed on Tuesday afternoon, rep
resentative of The True Democrat ap-
peared before that body and invited
the members to make a visit to The
True Democrat plant and make an in
spection.~ Accordingly, being rein
forced by the District Judge and the
District Attorney, the trip was made.
The workings of all the machinery was
thoroughly explained to them and
much comment was made over the
fact that such complete printing
plant had been assembled in so small
a town as st. Francisville.
The True Democrats guests were
interested in all of the machinery OF
the plant, but what excited their admi'
ration more than anything else was the
Model 8 Multiple Magazine Mergen'
thaler Linotype, which was installed in
this office last March. The quick
change and labor saving features OF
this wonderful machine were the
source of highest praise, while the
precision with which 1t operates
brought forth terms of warmest com
mendation. The fact that one oper
ator on this machine can easily dc
more work than four men could do un
der the old-fashioned hand-set way
was easy for the visitors to believe af
ter watching it work awhile.
This machine was installed in The
True Democrat Office a little over si1
months ago, since which time it hal
been in operation six days week. M
breakdown has occurred and not ont
cent has been spent for repairs. 1t hal
greatly increased our facilities fo
printing and enlarged the scope of ou
fwork. st. Francisville is the small
est town in the world in which one o
these machines is located and Their
are but four others in Louisiana-thre
lin New Orleans and one in Batol
Rouge.

ORGANIZATION MEETING MiSSlS-
StPPi VALLEY IMMIGRATION
ASSOCIATION, NEW OR
LEANS, SATURDAY,
OCTOBER rs.

The True Democrats editors are in
receipt of an invitation as follows:
On September 18th and 18th, dele
cation representing the states of Lou.
isiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Arkan-
sas and Tennessee, together with rep
resentatives of various commercial or
CARNATIONS and railroads operating in
these states, held conference at the
Waldorf Astoria Hotel, New York, with
the representatives of practically all
of the prominent transatlantic steam
ship lines.
The object of this conference was
for the purpose of laying before these
steamship lines the advantages and
opportunities the Mississippi Valley
and CONTIGUOUS territory offer to immi-
grants from Europe for the further
purpose of endeavorfng to induce the
steamship lines to assist in better
istribution of foreign immigrants than
| present exists, which result can best
be brought about through the opera
ton of regular passenger carrying
steamship lines to the port of New Or
leans. Such steamships to be proper
ly equipped for the handling of immi-
grants.
This meeting resulted most satisfac-
torily and, as an outcome, we are able
to say that shortly; within the next
few months there will be in operation
three steamship lines bringing immi-
grants to the port of New Orleans, to-
wit: North German Lloyd from Bre-
men (the first ship of this line will ar
rive October 81 Atlantic Sea Naviga-
ton Company from Mediterranean
ports; and the Fabre Line from Ma
lples.
1t developed, however, in the course
|of this conference that the steamship
people felt it would be thoroughly de.
l.s;rable, in order that the volume OF
traffic may be sufficient to warrant the
Operation of these ships, that the peo'
pie in the states mentioned above take
active steps In the development of this
immigration This cannot be done le
Igally by corporations or individuals. II
must be done by State Governments
| in other words, by the sovereign
states. In order to bring about such a
4 result active and cooperative work
must be planned.
Therefore, while in New York, q
temporary organization, known as the
Mississippi Vallep immigration Asso
citation" was formed for the purpose o.
bringing about the results desired, an(
it is now planned to make this organi
cation permanent.
III cider that this, may be accom-
plished it is thought best to invite thu
Governors of the above states; heads
of the Agricultural and immigration
Departments of these states; repre-
sentatives of the various commercial
organizations of the states named; req
resentatives of the newspapers an,
representatives of the railroads operal
ing through the territory, through thei
passenger and immigration depart
ments, to attend conference for tn
purpose OF permanent organization.
:. You are, therefore, especially invite
to be present or represented at NEE
. ing to be held in the City of New o.
leans at the Association of Commerce.

So many unkind things are said of
John D. Rockefeller that it will not
hurt to give him a good word now and
then. To his credit 1t should be said
that he pays personal property tax in
New York on five million dollars valu-
alton, while no others pay on as much
las 100000. Mrs. Russell Sage's per-
sonality is valued at s465,o9o, but she
is woman and unacquainted with the
fine points of the tax lodging game.
