Rivers And Harbors Bill

The following resolution was
adopted by the Fair Association
at their meeting held at the
Court House Monday night, urg.
ing our senators in congress tt
use their utmost endeavors tc
effect the passage of the Rivers
and Harbors Bill at this session
of Congress:
Be it known and remembered
that at a meeting of the Cald.
we'll Fair Association held a,
Columbia, La, on the 3rd day
Of August, 1914, the following
resolution was adopted.
Whereas, the Rivers and Har.
bors Bill now pending in the Un-
tied States is in danger of fail.
ure Of passage at this session of
Congress and whereas the pas.
sage Of said bill at this time is
of paramount, Importance to
the commercial interest and
agricultural welfare of the
States of Arkansas, Louisiana
and Mississippi; and whereas
the improvement Of the Ouachita
River by the construction of
Locks and Dams is a great neces-
sity and should be completed at
the earliest possible date, in the
interest of the people of North
Louisiana in general; and where
as the failure of the Rivers and
Harbor Bill to pass at this ses-
sion of the United States Con-
gress will delay the unfinished
work on the Locks and Dams in
the Ouachita River for a year or
more, and in the mean time the
work already done will almost
be a total lost to the Government,
since the uncompleted structure
must inevitable be destroyed or
greatly damaged by the recur-
ring high stage of water during
the winter and spring, thus en-
failing a loss of many thousands
of dollars to the Government,
therefore:
Be it resolved by the Caldwell
Fair Association that our sena-
tors in Congress be urged to
use their utmost endeavors to
effect the passage Of the Rivers
and Harbors Bill at this ssss,Sn
of Congress.
Be it further resolved that it
is the sense of the Caldwell
Fair Association that the pros
perity of the people of North
Louisiana depends in a very
great measure upon the con,
struction of an enduring line of
levees along the line of the Miss
issippi, as we'll as the construc-
ton of a system of locks and
dams in the Ouachita River.
Be it resolved that a copy of
this resolution be forwarded to
Senators Jos, E. Ransdell and
j. R. Thornton.

Let everybody in Caldwell re-
member that Thursday Aug. 27
has been set apart for general
road working all over the State
of Louisiana. This day should
be observed by every male citi-
zen in the parish by assemblin g
at different points where road
working begins in their neigh
borhoods and give the roads a
thorough working.

That the time is drawn near,
don't you think it would be wise
to make preparation and select
a place to meet and work the
public road on the 9th day of
this month? The Governor has
issued his proclamation, desig-
mating this day as Good Roads
Day. Let's get busy-all of US
and spend this day in working
the public roads. If every man
in Caldwell parish would work
on the roads that day a great
deal of good would be accom-
plished. Let's try it?

The dates set for the Caldwell
Fair, to be held this fall,are Octo

Several bugaboos have recent
ly been captured in certain
neighborhoods in Columbia. On
one occasion a certain young
man was running his hand
along on the fence and touched
one of these creatures tail. He
rather liked the touch of the
hand and chung to it. So to town
the young man made it in full
force in search of assistance, to
get relief Of what he thought to
bea bugaboo-when it was dis
covered that he had captured
an opossum and the opossum
had him.

The Caldwell Fair

TIC ldli SOliIilliIICC iCiu Oil
other meeting last Monday even
ing. Several important matters
came up before the meeting.
Among them being to fiji the va
cancies that were caused by the
designations of the president and
secretary. S. A. Meyers was
nominated and elected president
of the Fair Association. Mr..
Meyers is one of Caldwell's pro-
gressive farmers and will fill the
position as president and make
an a one leader for this great
cause. He we'll understands
what is to be done and will be
found on the job at all times.
Gilbert FARRELL was nominated
and elected permanent secretary.
He is on the go and working
with the president. With those
two gentlemen at the head, d.
recting the others, we can al
ready see success for the fair.
Steps have been taken by the
committee to prepare the race
track and the grounds and get
every thing in readiness to hold
the fair. There are a number
of things to be perfected ard
no time will be lost from
now on, until every thing will
be. put in first-class condition.
Secretary FARRELL is busy with
the premium list and expects to
have same ready to be published
within the next two weeks. This
list will be complete in every
way, as a number of additions
will be made to the list used last
year, besides several changes
will be made in it.
The committee had several
new stock holders present at
their meeting, which shows that
the fair spirit is still with the
people of Caldwell and much in
terest is being taken in the fair
lis year.
1t behooves every man, woman
;.ld child in the parish to work
I'd assist the fair committee in
yery way possible to make a
:, lccess of this event. 1t will en-
.:)urage home-seekers to look
this way, and. with a success
,ade of the fair, they will pro-
ably settle among us and be-
c,me valuable additions to the
population.
The association wants the CO.
% )eration of every one in the
parish and as Mr.. McClanahan
.losed his talk before the meet
ing Monday night fits we'll in
the case. He said, A man
from the north visited a friend
in California. After the Cali
fornian had shown him a num-
Der of things they had that the
man from the north could not
boast in having up north, the
northerner said, well there is
one thing we boast of possessing
in my northern home town that
you cannot, and that is a build
ing forty stories high, and do
you know that building has no
stair ways or elevators% We'll,
said the California man, how do
they get to the upper floors "The
northerner said, they climb
up, climb up" And that's just
what we of Caldwell will have
to do" climb up, and that
time is now for the start to be
made. Let all of US begin to
climb, and when we reach the
top on the night of October 16,
1914, let it be that we can spell
the word success with all capt.
tails. 1t is in us and why not let
it come out.

blessed and 30 favored as have the
people OF the United State OF America.
Our people have been better fed, bet

paid FOR their labor than the people of
any other nation I'm the world; our
harvests have been abundant; we have
made progress I'm material things, edu-
cation and moral unfit; we are at
peace with the world and In happy
contrast with other great nations
where carnage, destruction and desola-
ton is the rule. The horrors OF the
war now In progress In other lands
cannot adequately be described, and
1t IL sufficient cause for thanksgiving
and prayer that our land is spared
this wanton waste of life and treasure
bringing poverty and sorrow to mil
lions OF homes. America, THE Land
Of the Free and the Home Of the

preciated at this time.

STUDENTS RULE THEMSELVES
President OF University Tells Of the
Progress Made There.

1--WE find many things at the uni
versity this year upon which to con-
graduate ourselves" said DIR, Brannon
president OF the Moscow school. who
Is here going over matters pertaining
to his charge with the board of edu-
cation. THE University is larger In
point OF attendance by 10 per cent.
There is an appreciable increase from
southern Idaho. which we consider a
favorable sign, and there is evident a
spirit OF cooperation between the fac
ulty and the student body which Is so
marked as to cause comment from the
older students.
Our various lines OF endeavor away
from the college itself are making
great strides. Mr.. Taylor is progress
ing well with his Investigations into
the matter OF fruit storage. and Pro-
lessor Center is gathering around him
a corps Of efficient workers who will
BE- q credit 10 ear educational system.
Try Self Government
AT the university this year we are
working out a system Of self govern
ment for the students. BY this means
we expect to be able to have our
charges feel that they are n part of
the institution and to teach them to
settle their W minor problems alone.
As a companion piece to this we are
