ROMAN SHOULD ESTABLISH
CENTRAL CREAM STATION

Taking the cue from the action
of the meeting held at St. Ig'na-
thus last week, it would seem that
the people Of Roman should get
busy and take like action. The
establishment of a cream station
here will be an inducement for
those who have cows to bring
their cream to town that it may
be shipped to the creamery, and
would consequently make this
town their trading point. The
St. Ignatius merchants recognize
the value of such station and
the Roman merchants must not
close their eyes to this fact.
Not that any rivalry should ex-
list between the two towns, bat
they should work together, As
evidence that this is the feeling
it is only necessary to state that
the St. Ignatius merchants sent
an invitation to Roman people to
attend their meeting and assist
in the securing of a regular mark !
ct for the products of the dali les
throughout the valley. They
were not jealous Of the propo-
sition, and while none from here
attended the meeting that should
be no reason why Roman should
not now get busy and do it's share
toward making success Of the
proposition.
During the summer months,
when green feed is plentiful,
quantities Of butter are made and
offered for sale at the local stores
in such amounts as to become q !
drug on the market. The merch-
ants are unable to dispose Of the
butter locally and must ship it
out, and without means of taking
proper care of it suffers a loss.
This causes a loss to both the
maker and the merchant who
handles the butter, and to avoid
this condition it is proposed to
send out the cream and it will
give better returns than to con-
tinue in the old manner of doing
business.
The creamery business is one
of the best paying industries our
farmers can engage in. and with
the low price prevailing for all
kinds Of grain, it is destined to
become the principal business of
many of our settlers. This fact
being true, then some measure
should be taken to furnish a re-
market, and the best
solution SO far presented is that
of establishing local stations
where the cream can be collected
and transported to the railroad
at stated times. This will not
last long; creamerjes will take
the place of local stations and
then the whole problem is solved. .
Let our merchants and others
who are so directly Interested,
get busy and establish a local .
station. 7

A Public Market.

For the purpose of public mar

voted bonds to aggregate 100000.
This is a great amount, which, II
it be appropriated and then expend-
ed judicially, should secure a mar
ket house that would rival some OF

Does Shreveport need a public
market to cost 100000?
Before the proposition for this
issue of bonds be- submitted to the
voters, there should be given the
people some plan of the market pro-
posed and how it is to be operated
Is this market to be revenue
producer for the municipality?
If this market is ever constructed
will the private markets be aDol-
ished. and is there or could there be
law to compel their abrogation
The taxpayers while progressive
and favoring central market
should not be expected to vote fol

struction should beesiven some in

The Gay-Shattuck Law.

When it is stated that the Gay
! Shattuck law is being disregarded in
New Orleans by saloonists no sur
prise should be expressed.
In police shake-up by Commits
sioner Newman, it was in evidence
on the arrest of several saloOnists
that boys We're not only permitted
to go into the saloons but were
picked up unconscious on the
streets from intoxication.
According to law the sale of in
tOXicants to minors is crime, but
this restraint is viewed by these
law-breakers as an infringement on
personal rights and privileges. z
In the face of this condition the
New Orleans States has directed the
saloonists to the call of the super
intendent of the Anti Saloon League
for convention at which plans are
to be considered for a contest with
the purpose of making Louisiana a
prohibition State.
The Gay-Shattuck law provides
penalties for the sale of intOXicantS
to minors, one of which is the for
fixture of license, but this is no de-
torrent since, if convicted, some
other law defer may be installed in
the place of the convicted law
breaker.
At best the Gay-Shattuck law is
as a subterfuge for which the
saloonists perhaps with some rare
exceptions, entertain the most SUI
preme contempt, but all infractions
andoacts of defiance by the salOOnz
lists give strength to the ants.
The Gay-Shattuck law is intended
to keep the saloons regulated, but
there is no law which is effective in
regulating the law-breakers who,
because they are saloonists. assume
to be law unto themselves, but a
day of reckoning will come when
the saloonists who defy the law and
scorn at deeency >and good morals
will be held to a strict accounta-
bility.

Easter March %.

st. Louis Post DiSpatch: Easter
bonnets will blossom earlier this
year than they have since 1856, and
earlier than they will burst into
bloom for another century.
The earliest date on which Easter
can fall is March %, but that has
not happened since 1918. This year
it will be March %, the same date
on which it fell in 1856 and 1915.
The Rev. Father Martin Brennan,
a noted st. Louis astronomer, toldoa
Post Dispatch reporter Monday that
tables computed by mathematicians
hive not been carried far enough to
show just no wlong it will be before
Easter again falls on so early date,
but that it will not occur until some
time. after the year 1000. ..-.::..
The rule for fixing the date of
Easter originally was that it was the
Sunday after the first full moon fol-
lowing the spring equinox. The
equinox falls March 81. According to
a 'uling of the Council of Nice, if
March 81 is a Saturday and there is
a full moon on that day, the follow
ing day will be Easter. ~ 1.
This year March Fl will be Fri
day. and there will be full moon

Violence IntOIerablc.

The CommOner: The conviction OF
the labor organization officials on
the charge of using dynamite
against the property, and even
against the lives, of those opposed
to them in labor contests ought to
have a salutary influence. The great
majority Of the members of organ
lied labor-in fact, almost all-are
not only opposed to violence but I'M
derstand that a resort to violence
brings great injury to the cause OIL
the working men. But such as have
Countenanced violence should learn
from the Indianapolis and Los An
geles cases that the people of the
country will not tolerate lawless at
tasks on either life or property.
Labor has its grievances and these
grievances demand speedy redress
but this redress must be secured
through the orderly processes OF
government as a result of pubic
discussion. If any labor leader has
imagined that he could help his CO.
workers by taking the law into his
own hands let him learn from these
recent cases that such a course does
his cause more harm than any open
enemy could bring to it.

New Orleans Picayune: The War
Department is moving in earnest to

shelter of the army of veterans,
Confederate as we'll as Federal, who
are to attend the encampment of6tthe
Grand Army of the Republic on7 he
battlefield of Gettysburg next July
to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary
Of the great battle. 1t is roughly es-
timated that 10000 veterans will be
placed under canvas and fed next
July, so that great deal of work
must be done to prepare quarters
and secure proper water supply. AS
the average age of the survivors of
the battle will be about u, the
greatest care will be taken to see
that the old soldiers are made COM
Portable. As the encampment will
be held in July, tent life will be
bearable.
