New Orleans.-A majority Of the
members Of the Louisiana Legislature
came to New Orleans from Baton
Rouge Friday night to meet in con-
ference with Louisiana business men
and planters and ascertain what legis-
lation is needed to aid agriculture and
pull Louisiana out of the mire, as
one speaker put it.
Governor L. f. Hall, who presided,
and other speakers agreed the agri-
cultural situation in the state is bad
and that something should be done at
once to aid farmers already here and
to get more farmers. The legislators
admitted they were in quandary as
to what action to take when they pass
ed resolution a few days age re-
Questng a conference whereby they
might get suggestions and as many
ideas as possible in order to do the
best thing to aid.
After the conference Friday night
Il committee was appointed to draft
what was considered the best sug-
gestions and ideas into a set of laws
and present them to this session of
the legislature, which will continue
five weeks more.
Governor Hall said the agricultural
condition Of the state is sadly ineffi
cient for lack of system. The keynote
of the address was that the farmers of
the state need education even along
the more simple lines of modern agri,
culture. Stress was laid upon the diff
ficulties of farmers in getting credit
Vast acreage of Louisiana land here
tofore has been planted in sugar, but
this will be materially cut down this
year, because the planters say they
can not operate as successfully as be-
fore without a duty on sugar. This
situation, speakers said, has only ad-
ded TO general depression in all lines
of agricultural activities in Louisiana

Alexandria. - Alexandria Tuesday
played trump card in her fight to Sc
are the state capital. Aboard a spe-
"ial train of seven cars paid for by
her citizens she brought from Baton
R0uge a majority of the members Of
the General Assembly and many of
their friends, showed them what she
has to offer, and banqueted them at
the magnificent Bentley Hotel.
For the capital Alexandria is offer
ing a free site and 100000 in cash.
But her citizens do not wish it to be
thought they are attempting to buy
the capital. They hold that Alexandria
is the logical place for the seat of
bouisana's government. They know
that the state must soon face the
necessity of erecting a new Capital
building. They have made the offer
" site and a cash donation to offset
economic arguments of the opposi-
ton
The stunt of bringing to Alexandria
the members of the General Assembly
was engineered with the idea in view
Of tmpressing upon the legislators

state Railroads lead out from Alex,
audria in every direction" said Mayor
Wilmington. I'VE wished to impress
these facts on the members of the
Legislature and their friends, so we
brought them up here to show them.
One thing is certain, whether Alex
andria gets the capital or not, every
member Of the party left firmly inn
pressed with the LIKENESS OF the city
ard with its possibilities
The Alexandria removal bill was
introduced in the House by Repre-
sentative McClanahan of Caldwell, 1t
is joint resolution for the submits
sion TO the people of a constitutional
amendment to remove the capital from
Baton Rouge to Alexandria. The reso.
luton, to the surprise of the General
Assembly, came out Of committee
with a favorable report and is now
pending before the House.
Alexandrians, while they hope for
the best, admit that it will be difficult
to secure a two-thirds majority in
both houses, which is necessary to Sc,
cure the adoption of the resolution.
They calculate, however. that their
present fight is just the beginning.

on Interstate and Foreign Commerce
ordered a favorable report made on
the Dupre bill authorizing Arthur Nc.
Guirk and E. l.. Corthell and their as

across the Mississippi river at or near

one great particular 1t inserted a
provision that the permission shall be-
come effective when the bridge is au-
thorized by the State of Louisiana.
In other words, the committee recog-
nizes the fact that the bridge will be
wholly within Louisiana and that the
consent of the state had better be had
in advance of any action by Mr.. Nc
Guirk and his associates.

MASS MEETINGS HELD IN NEW

THE MEASURE.
Western Newspaper Union News sarvieA


New Orleans.-DiscussiOn by several
organizations of women of a plan to
boycott merchants who support
measure now before the Louisiana
legislature to restore gambling to
horse race in this state and two mass
meetings are features that stand out
prominently in a bitter fight beng
made for and against the proposition
in New Orleans.
The bill provides that the matter
should be submitted to the voters Of
New orleans in a local option cleo
ton, and this seems to be the feature
that is stirring both sides to public
action before the the measure is re-
ported out of committee.
Backed by about 5000 signatul es
to petition, the bill was introduced
in the House and sent to the city af-
fairs committee. Besides the referen-
DUN feature the bill provides that

mutual system, and that racing be
governed by a commission much the
same as in Kentucky.
To combat this petition, women
who attend an open air mass meeting
Sunday, are Systematically canyassing
the city to gain signatures to a counter
petition. At a mass meeting called
by leaders of those fighting for the
passage of the bill, the largest audi
forum in this city was filled, at least
on the floor, beyond seating capacity.
In the legislature, those against
the bill, say they have a safe majority
Of votes pledged to defeat it, The
other side also claims a majority.

Of the beautiful name of Fragaria and
named it strawberry, because of the

However that may be. strawberry by
any other name would taste as sweet
Physicians concur in placing straw,
berries in their catalogue of pleasant
remedies.
The wild strawberry, picked in the
open field where it mas absorbed the
suns rays and developed it's sweet
.juiciness, has flavor unexcelled by
the choicest cultivated berry.
There are some unfortunate individ
uals who are unable to eat this berry
without i'll effects. The reason for this
is not fully explained, says Thompson
for the analysis Of the berry fails to
show any product which is peculiar to
itself" There must be some comb
nation of acids or other materials ex,
listing in this berry which is excep
tionally irritating to some persons.
1t may be that they (the persons)
have digestive acid which combines
with the vegetable acid in some chem.

The strawberry contains an abun.
dance of salts of potash, lime and
soda which acts upon the body secre
tons beneficially.
The addition of dash of red pepper
or pinch of soda to berries for
people who have a personal idiosyn
