Ruy.A-BaIe Movement.

The undiminished interest in the Buy
a-bale plan proves that it is by far the
most logical relief measure yet ad-
vanced to help the cotton growers and
it is rapidly spreading over more sec
tons of the country, until an endless
chain will soon be established.
And when one stops to think about
it, the only way'to help the cotton far
mer is to buy his cotton for cash at a
price that will give him reasonable
return on his work and investment and
if held for the proper time, until con
ditions right themselves, as they un-
doubtedlv will and much sooner than a
great many, believe they will, there is
little or no chance for loss.
But the time for thinking this all
over is passed, and this is the time for
action.
Every circle is taking the matter up,
the one particular one in which it is
getting the greatest impetus right now,
is in the educational which is always
ebert, quick to see and just as quick to
act. The three great State institutions
Normal, State University, and Tulane
are giving their best stock in trade In
exchange for cotton at ten cents a
pound and the public schools through
out the State are getting ready to CO.
operate.
Natchitoches is not falling in line as
fast as she should, the roll published
last week being augmented by only
two additional names, those of Mr.. N.
C. Smith and Mr.. Sam Levy, which is
matter of great regret to this paper
which offers it's aid to the movement
and would like to print next week an
immense list of business men, profess
sional men, capitalists and ladies who
have pledged themselves to the pur-
chase of bale of cotton at ten cents
from farmer, and the storing of it
for further demand.

The State Normal.

The State Normal school at Nat
chitoches, La, is great institu-
ton and has proved CT vast benefit
to Louisiana in the eighteen years
of its existence. Thousands of
Young women have been prepared
for school work, becoming finished
inetructresses after the course OBJ
tanned at this splendid school.
The inclination of young women
to become indepEdent is growing
each day, and the normal of Nat
chitoches has served as a most
perfect instrument through which
this end can be attained. The
Monroe News-Star speaks of the
school and its pupils as follows:
''The city of Monroe and the
parish of Ouachita have the signal
distinction of having a larger en-
rollment of pupils at the state
normal than any other town, city
or parish outside of the parish of
Natchitoches. We congratulate
the young ladies of this city and
parish, for 1t proves that they are
ambitious and willing to give up
all the attractions Of home and
social pleasures in order TO qualify
themselves for the dutie5 that lie
out before them. We believe
women are specially fitted for the
duties of the school and 1t seems
'eminently proper that ties should
have charge of children and instill
in their minds and hearts right
principles. which shall be their
guide through life.
This large attendance of our
girls proves another thlng-lt
proves that the young ladies of
this section are not content to be
dependent upon any one, but will
sacrifice much in order to be indie
pendent and to be of some real
service to humanity. They are
not satisfied to merely live the life
of a social butterfly bat want to
be useful and helpful to others. "

A change of sentiment that
must oe pleasing to all lovers of
wild animals is shown by the fact
that a generation ago, men OF
wealth established private game
preserves, while today they are
setting aside tracts of land as
places of refuge for wild creatures.
The Two latest offerings to the
government of great importance
for this purpose, are the island in
the Mississippi that Mrs. Russell
SAGE bought for a bird refuge and
the 5000 acres of mountain land in
New Jersey bought by Mr.. G. e.
Worthington as a perpetual game
preserve.

A movement was started in
ashington Monday which will
show the faith that the Southern
representatives have in the pur-
chase of cotton at ten cents a
pound. 1t is proposed that each
representative buy one bale in
each parish of his district, and
where the number is more or less
evenly divided, the idea is for
each Representative to pay his
pro rata of the total number. For
instance Congressmen Aswell and
Watkins from the two principal
cotton growing districts of Louis
lana would have to be the biggest
buyers while Congressman Dupre
and Estopinal would have no need
to buy at all, so it is planned that
the eight representatives buy the
sixty three bales one from each
parish and divide the cost between
them This will be done IN all
the cotton growing States, and
while the amount of cotton taken
off the market will not be so very
great, the moral effect of the plan
will be far reaching.

General satisfaction is expressed
outside Of l'arty lines over the
decision of President Wilson not
to stump the country for the fall
elections, as botn-of his prede-
cessors have done, says the New
Orleans Times-Demoerat. The
sentiment seems to be almost uni
versal that this precedent will be
followed and that the practice of
the president in taking the stump
in the interest of his party's sue
cess will be broken up permanently.
1t is undlgnified of the head of
our government that he should be
moved around from point to point
like a circus to be the chief attrac-
ton of county fairs. Possibly it
stimulates attendance at these
fairs, and 1T affords the public
some pleasure to see or shake
hands with the president. but ii
places him in a cheap position.
1t is not proposed to check his
utterances, or that he should fail
to preach the doctrines and poll
cies for which he stands, and it is
natural that be should seek to
secure the return Of a congress
favorable to these policies to assist
him in carrying them out.

Statement Of the United States Dis.
trict Attorney

Shreveport, La, SepI. IL, I0lt
Every true sportsman IS inter
ested in securing strict Observ-
ance of the game laws, SO likewise
/ is every farmer; it means an IN
crease in game and decrease in
boil weevils and other harmful in
sects. For the conservation OF
our game and the preservation OF
our insectivorous and song birds,
am glad to say that both the fed
eral government and the state of
Louisiana have enacted stringent
statutes. This office is in recelpi
OF many requests for informa-
ton as to the federal law, and L
have. therefore, thought it well to
prepare this statement, the better
to acquaint the public with its pro
visions.
The federal law does not provide
the same regulations and open and
closed seasons for all Of the states.
and so this synopsis of the law is
intended to cover the statute only
| in so far as it is applicable to
Louisiana.
The federal statute covers only
migratory birds, and these are
classified either as migratory game
birds or as migratory insectlvor-
Gus birds. The migratory game
birds are diyided into five groups,
as follows:
(a) Waterfowl, including brant,
wild ducks, geese and swans.
(b) Cranes, including lit e
brown, sandhiIl, and whooping
cranes.
(c) Rails. including coots, gal
linuIcs, and sora and other rails.
(d) Shore birds. includir~ "vo-
Gets, curiew, dowituhers, sodwiLS,
knots, oyster catchers, pha:aropes.
plover, sandpipers, snipe, suits,
SURF birds, turnstones, ~lllet,
woodcock, and yellew legs.
(e) Pigeons, including doves and
wild pigeons.
The following are considered
migratory lnsectivorous birds:
Bobolinks, catbirds,, chickadees,
beaks, humming birds, kinglets,
martins, meadowlarks, nj 9 h :
hawks, or bull bats, nuthatchers,
orioles, robins, shrikes, swallows,
swifts tanagers, titmice, thrushes,
vireos, warblers, waxwings, whip
porwilIs, woodpeckers and wrens,
and all other perching birds which
feed entirely or chiefly on insects.
Night Shooting Prohibited
The shooting of all migratory
game birds is prohibited between
sunset aid sunrise.
Closed Season on
Intersectlvorous Birds.
The shooting of migratory in
sectivorous birds is at all times
prohibited.
Five-Year Closed Season
The shooting of band-tailed pig
cons, little brown, sandhlll, and
whooplng cranes, swans, curlew,
and all shorebirds except the
