may be met and new acquaintances
made; when matters of business
character may be talked over and
discussed, etc. What better meeting
place, once a year at least, could
there be than the annual agricultural
fair, where our country folk may
come together, and where they and
the town folk can meet and get bet
ter acquainted, and understand each
other better: where there is some
thing to see of the products Of the
farm and the feed lot that are worth
looking at, and become more enlight-
ened and informed about?
Our fairs throughout the state are
just beginning for the season, and it
might be Well for our farmers, espe-
cially, to consider the few points we
have endeavored to discuss.
It should be borne in mind, how
ever, that.the fair is, primarily, an
institntios Nm the interest of the
farmer. ID is really his institution.
1t is an opportunity created for him
to impreas d his conditions, which no
other 5end possibly afford. When
once his conditions have been inn
proved and made permanent, the city
or town will then share in his great
er and more general prosperity.
Aside from almost any other con-
sideration, however, the agricultural
fair should be looked upon by the
farmer in the light of a cold busi-
ness proposition so far as he is con-
cerned; which it is, and very val
liable one, too, If he will but take
full advantage of it,

Death of Monroe's Mayor.

DR.. Andrew A. Forsythe, for six
teen years past mayor Of the city
Of Monroe, La, died there last Tues
day forenoon, Sept. 20, and his
funeral took place Thursday, attract
ing one of the largest concourses of
people ever assembled fer such
purpose in north Louisiana. DR..
Forsythe had been in bad health for
more than a year, but his ailment,
Bright's disease, assumed a critical
form only about ten days before his
death. He was a native of this state,
barely past middle age, and is sur
viyed by his father, Capt. James For
sythe of New Orleans, and one sister,
Mrs. J. Fl. Carter of Catahoula par
ish His academic education was
received at Aliens Academy, Chicago,
and his medical degree from Tulane
University, New Orleans
After practicing short while in
rural Ouaehita, DR.. Forsythe located
in Monroe, where he built up large
and lucrative practice. In 1898 he
was importuned by committee of
citizens to become candidate for
mayor, and although at first dis
posed to decline, he was finally pre-
vailed upon to accept for the good
OF the town With characteristic
energy and public spirit he devoted
ali his efforts toward improving and
building up Monroe, declining q
tempting offer of the gubernatorial
nomination in order to continue the
development and execution of his
plans for municipal betterment. The
city made great progress under his
administrations, the value of the mu-
nicipal holdings and utilities increas-
ing from about $4,000 to upwards OF
500, 600, and Monroe has heen
placed in the frcnt rank Of cities
of its class in this country very
largely through the ability and In
domitabIe determination and civic
pride of it's lamented mayor.

A Series of Misfortunes.

In reporting the contemplated con-
solidation Of two of New Iberia's
banks, the Weekly 1berian of that
city thus sums up the series of dis
asters and climatic caIamities that
are in large part responsible for the
present depressed conditions in SO
many sections Of Louisiana:
"The white frost of Oct. 23, 1911,
and the thermometer reading OF 80
degrees on the morning of Nov. 13,
1911, changed the promise of a
bumper cane crop to an experience
of disaster. The river flood of 1912
brought its disasters to many in the
eastern portion Of this parish. Tariff
agitation and the prospects of free
sugar" of 1913 were not boom build
ers for this city. The business stag
nation consequent to the complfca-
tions in old Mexico and the outbreak
of the world war" in Europe this
year, 1914, have not had the effect
OF increasing our population. The
clouds could not be foreseen."

BARNES CIRCUS COMING,
Worlds Original and Greatest Wild
Animal Show to Visit Donaldson
Vile Oct. f2-sixty-fIve sensa-
tionaI Features.

The AL. G. Barnes big Bring wild
animal circus is coming, and will give
two performances here Monday,
October H..
The coming of this famous wild
animal show always elicits a great
deal of interest, as no other circus
equals the Barnes show for the mul.
titude ofzsantirely original wild an
imal features presented.
Practically the entire entertain
ment provided by this show is given
by the use of educated animals-600
IN number-of almost every known
species. The show Is still a circus
however, circus from which all tire
some and Objectionable features have
been eliminated, but which retains
the many traditional elements that
for years have made the circus the
most popular form of entertainment.
For instance, there are innumer
able equestrians, aerohats, iugglers
tumblers, high divers, bareback rid.
ers, etc. The performers are ami.
mails, yet their work is done with
as much, or even greater proficiency
than one is accustomed to see In
the human. The only exception to
this rule are the cloWns-twelve OF
them, funny ones, too-for a circus
would not be true to tradition with
out clowns. There are saWdust rings
and pink lemonade, for what's a cir
Gus without them, otherwise the
Barnes circus is an animal show, ex.
clusively So
Prominent among the great feature
acts presented are Tom, Dick and
Harry, juggling hesseriding sea
lions; Sampson, the aviation lion,
that rides to the top of the tent
surrounded by shooting sky rockets,
Big Bill, the wrestling grizzly; Mile.
Florine and troupe of Persian leo
pards, iaguars and pumas; Mabel
Stark and group of Royal Bengal and
Siberian tigers; the horse riding
lions and bears; high diving dogs
and monkeys, and the Barnes troupe
of educated worlds premium horses
and ponies-550 Of them.
The big sensational, thrilling spec
tacle of the program is the group OF
twenty-four, man-eating African lions
shown in one act by Herr Louie
Roth These lions are valued at $50,
600 and represent the greatest wild
animal act ever known.

by deposits brought down through
thousands of years from the fields OF
over 80 states When this wet land

bitches cut through and the water

valley Of the Nile has been called a

four years, and I never have seen
such crops anywhere. Corn is cared
out and stands Il to Is feet tall from
six to seven weeks after planting.
This is all 100-hushel corn land and
better. On one farm the first crop
ever grown was corn that made 20
tons s1lage to the acre; the second
crop made % tons.
This land produce all kinds OF
crops and grows three crops a year.
There is no waiting for seasons in
the Louisiana delta Moisture is I'M.

general belief, this country is not es-
pecially subject to overflow. The wa.

formed from q swamp to a cultivated
field.
The reclaimed lands of southern
Louisiana have three crops a year, un

crops are winners. The market for
dairy products is unlimited and
conditions Just right for dairying.
In the old sections Of the state
are also excellent chances for agri-
cultural development. The big sugar
planters apparently have had their
day. Thousands of acres that last
year were in cane are this year in
corn, and the corn acreage has in.

The sugar and cotton planters
know that they must decrease their
land holdings, and they want north.
ern farmers to buy them. This land
is rich, and can be bought for less
than tt is worth Colonization OF
these grand old plantations by groups
OF northern farmers is feasible.
In southwest Louisiana rice Is the
principal crop, and it is profitable
