store. the largest fin the block. is at the easterly end of the building and close to the railroad tracks Glen Dove, 8 car inspector at work in the railroad yard, Is credited with being the first to discover the fire. An alarm was immediately sent in, this at just 3 o'clock. Dense clouds of smoke were pouring out of the building and tiny tongues of flame were occasionally showing through the glass in the base ment windows.
 Dense Smoke a Hindrance.
 From the first the firemen had a hard fight on their hands. Heavy beams, about IF by 12, run around the entire first floor level of the building as supports for the floors. These beams are only about feet back from and on @ line with the basement windows and they acted as barriers. preventing the streams of water poured into the building by the firemen from drench ing the area of the basement as could have been done had there been no such obstruction in the way. De- scending into the basement to fight the fire was out of the question. for the smoke was so dense that no hu- man being could haved lived in it.
 Floor Fell In.
 In the Chandler and Morse store iremen managed to remain and direct
 
 the floor. For considerable length of time there were many. including some of the department members, that believed the efforts of the firemen would be unavailing to check the spread of the fire and save the build ing, which is owned by the Union Stock company, but after time the effect of the fight that the iremen were making was felt. Tons of water had been poured into the Chandler and Morse store end eventually the first floor went down with a crash. carry ing the big stock of hardware and kindred and miscellaneous lines into disc that has been seen at any fire here.
 Blaze Drowned Out. The floor sank until it rested on the stocks of heavy merchandise in the basement, where several thousand dol lars worth of goods were kept. The breaking away of the floor let great quantities of water flow down into the basement and this had the effect of reaching the fire's stronghold and of drowning it out after a time. The loss at the Chandler and Morse store is estimated at from s12.000 to SIS, 900. The stock was insured

PROTECTION OF NON-GAME
BIRDS, CLOSED SEASONS
ON GAME BIRDS, ETC.
Issued by Conservation Com
mission of Louisiana.

| The Conservation Commission is ed
1cating the people of Louisiana on the
value Of non-game birds, how to tell
uon game birds from game birds, and
how to hunt game birds without vio-
lating the law.
A good many hunters seem to need
education also in regard to hunting
licenses. The parish license, costing
80 cents, is required by every hunter
in his parish unless he hunts only IN
his ward; and the State license, cost
ing So, if he hunts outside of his par
ISL. The market hunting license
costs $40. Buying the license, howev-
err, is only part of the requirement
with the law. It must be remembered
that license does not give the hun
ter the right to kill game except in
strict accord with the law. He must
not kill any kind of game in its close
season, nor kill over the limit nor kill
game in any illegal manner.
The game laws divide the birds OF
the State into three classes as follows:
Game birds (geese, brant. ducks.
grosbecs, rails. coots. gallinules, snipe,
woodcock, sandpipers, tatlers, cur
Jews, plovers, wild turkeys. quail,
doves and red-winged blaekbirds)--
Open season, Nov. l-Feb. Is. Red
winged blackbirds at any time.
Outlaws turkey buzzard. black vul-
ture, duck hawk, Cooper hawk, sharp
Skinned hawk. great horned owl. Eng
lish sparrow. aud crows and crow
black birds, or grackles, when destruc-
tive to crops and kingfishers when
nesting in levees) mo protection:
may be killed at any time.
Noa-game birds eau birds except
those in the above two lists mo open
sc ason: must not be killed at any
time.
A good many hunters seem to be un-
der the impression that when the
hunting season is open, they do not
have to be as careful as during the
closed season on game birds. From
the above explanation. however. it
will be seen that it is as much against
the law to kill a non-game bird dur
| ing the hunting season as at any other
time. Under the law, the bluebird,
mockingbird, robin. meadowlark, flick
er and all other birds of the non-game
class are as safe from the hunter in
December as quail in June.
In the same way, at the beginning
of the deer or squirrel season. any
kind Of game bird IL perfectly safe
from the hunter who obeys the law.

At Fifteen Cents On Good

Baton Rouge, Oct. 4.--Commis
siOner of Agriculture ano Imml
grafton Il o. Bruner has gwen
out the following advice 10 the
farmers:
81 unqualifiedly indorse the No
1915 cotton proposition. It's the
only solution in my opinion. Does
it not look like the height of folly
for the farmers to sell two crops
for the same money that they can
get for one?
81 attended the cotton confer
ence III New Orleans, and was
well pleased with its decision.
The only omission in my opinion,
was the failure to fix prices.
Prices should have been fixed at
Is cents for middling cotton, one
half put on the market this year
and the Remaining half In 1915
But before putting the remaining
half on the 1915 market, the mem
bers of the cotton association
should have reassembled and fix
ed the price on that half.
eff these plans were adopted
and strictly adhered to, the South
would become the greatest stock
and grain producing country
known With our rich soil, warm
climate, short and mild winters,
we should lead in those products
Tnstead of 42,OOO,OOO bushels
of corn, our 1915 crops would
reach easily lOO,0O0,O00 bushels,
and instead of having to send
North for our meat we would, iD a
short time have meat to ship
Aud instead Of paying, as we are
today in our city markets, %
cents for pork or beef, we should
be able to raise it on the farm at
10 cents per pound.
"OF course, you will find specu
latOrs who live on the misfortune,
or rather the misconduct, of the
farmers. object to such plans as
impracticable. But the unseIfish
man who has the interest of the
farmers at heart, can readily see
the great harvest the farmers
would reap in following out this
course.
'NOw is the time for every pa
triotic citigen to show his cOlOrs.
Every man should bear his share
of the burden. The bankers
should not push their creditors;
the wholesale merchants should
not crowd the retail merchant,
and the retail merchant should
not crowd or push his customers
By SO doing the farmers will be
able to hold their cotton until they
get what 1t is worth.
OTIS nothing short of criminal
ty to force farmer to sell his
cotton at the present prices, and
hope that Louisiana will not find a
single man guilty of such crime.
''And | hope our farmers will
get together, stand together, keep |
their cotton off the market until
they get a living price, and then
put only half on the market, keep
the other half for the 1915 market.
"Plant plenty of feed stuffs,
raise more cattle, hogs and sheep. |
aud then, and not till then, will
they prosper as they should.
