If the report of the destruction
of the Cathedral of Reims IS true,
it will be one of the greatest his
torical and artistic losses that the
world has known in many a
decade.
This Cathedral was lie 'un in
1912 and c, ntiaued on at interva S
down to the fifteenth century and
was supposed to be the most per-

grace Of Gothic style, in existence.

We call special attention to the
address Of our people, to the citi-

We ask only fair judgment at the

say that with the return of the
Radical officials our burdens will
become unbearable, and we will
not be responsible for consequent

from good authority that in and

calls for immediate action. Let
our merchants and planters have
an understanding TO arrest not

of sacks of seed cotton aud the
evil will be checked.

Proclamation by the Governor.
The time has arrived when people
are looking to the conservation of the
natural and the preservation of the
created resources of this country. Our
forests are being preserved, our water
power and waterways developed and
: id and the. hidden foreesref natare
conserved and made subservient to the
well-being of man. But there is no
drain so appalling, SO useless, as the
enormous annual fire waste of this
country, amounting to $3.50, 900, 900.
Statistics compiled by the fire mar
shall's department of Louisiana show
that the fire loss in this state during
the year 1918 amounted to So, 633, 331,
an amount nearly equal to the cost of
maintaining the state government dun :
ing same period.
Recent years have witnessed graft
flying increase of the interest on tie
part of the PEOPLE in fire prevention
and practical results are now appreci-
able. We have learned that it is easier
and cheaper to prevent than to extir-
guish fires and the enormous annual
fire waste can be minimized by educa-
ton and active cooperation of our
people.
Therefore, in accordance with the
custom already established and in order
to arouse our people to full realiza-
ton of fire dangers and to induce them
to take an active interest in the SUBJ
ject, I hereby proclaim Friday, the
ninth day of October, 1914, State Fire
Prevention day, and earnestly recon-
mend that our people observe it by a
general cleaning up and removal Oh
rubbish, trash and waste from their
premises.
Let all heating apparatus and. Chin
neys be carefully gone over and placed
in proper condition for winter use.
Let all public and private institutions,
hotels, asylums, factories and theatres
be carefully looked over on that da,
and, when necessary, any changes
made that will further protect the
safety of the occupants.
Let local authorities give attention
to the matter of better building reguls-
tions, fire protection and prevention as
well as added apparatus for fire hght-
ing.
Lastly, let fire drills be held on that
day in institutions, factories and IN
public, parochial and private schools,
and I earnestly recommend that teach
ers instruct their pupils, through short
talks and proper programs. on the
dangers of fire and the simpler meSna
of fire prevention.
Given under my hand and the seal OF
the state OF Louisiana at the capital
in the city of Baton Rouge, this Stn
day of September, A. D., 1914.

Governor Issues Proclamation For
Fire Prevention.

The Enterprise is in receipt of
the following communication from
State Fire Marshal Charles H.
Trousdale calling attention to the
proper observance of Fire Proven
ton day, proclaimed by Governor
Hall:
New Orleans, Sept. %. 1914.
Editor Natchitoches Enterprise:
We enclose copies of the procla-
clamation by his excellency, Gov
ernor L. E. Hall, designating
Friday, October 9th, as Fire Pre-
yention Day in Louisiana.
1t is estimated that the annual
fire loss in this country amounts
to over $250,OOO, 900. or about So
per capita. This means that every
man, woman and child contributes
$3 every year towards the enor
nous waste.
The great bulk of the fire loss is
due to defective fues and heating
apparatus, smoking, the careless
use of matches and the accumuia-
ton about premises of rubbish and
trash, and is therefore preventable
by the exercise of proper lrccau-
ton.
The solution of the fire waste
problem lies in fire prevention.
The people must be taught that 1t
is irrational to spend millions a
year in putting out fires and
scarcely anything for fire proven
tion. 1t would cost infinitely less
to prevent than to extinguish
them. With the proper precau-
ton taken by property holders at
least 90 per cent of the fire waste
would be eliminated.
We hope to have your co-opera-
ton in this matter, the solving OF
which Is now being recognized as
the greatest of modern conserva-
ton, by giving the governors
proclamation wide publicity and
by publishing any other article,
you may deem pertinent to iii,
subject.
Very truly yours,
g. H TROUSDALE. =

Louisiara's Golden Opportunities


Among the party of northern
and western editors who recently
visited Louisiana to study its agri-
cultural potentialities was Alison
Secor, editor of Successful Farm
ing at Des Moines. Iowa. At the
request of the Manufacturers
Record for his views, Mr.. Secor
recently wrote.
"During my three weeks in
Louisiana | travelled somewhere
near 10000 miles by auto. 200 or
800 miles by boat, and up one
side, down the other. and across
both ends of the state by rail, SO |
feel that know something about
the opportunities of that State.
Only about one seventh is under
cultivation, and much OF that is
not being made use of to the best
advantage They are just awak-
ING to the fact that one-crop farm
ing will not do. They are just
becoming aware of their own pos
sibiIities and their wonderful fer
tility, and are turning their atten-
ton to live stock and diversified
farming. | know of no place
where live stock could be so adj
yantageously raised as in Louisi-
ana. They have the soil and
climate which produces enormous
growth of feed, and their free
dom from flies is another thing in
their favor. This would make a
splendid place for hacking plants,
tanneries, ETC., after the live stock
industry has become developed.
At present there is little market
for live stock.
1.-The same conditions make 1t
exceptionally favorable for dairy
ing and this would demand cream
cries, separator factories and all
that goes with dair, ing.
THE fruit industry is just being
developed. This would call for
manufacture of boxes, fruit presses
spraying outfits, spraying ma
terials, etc.
AT present the prospect is OF
producing more corn than they
have stock to eat it. They need
starch works and things of that
sort to use the surplus corn.
In fact, | regard the State as
having a great future before il
along agricultural lines, and that
will bring prosperity, and where
prosperity dwells is a good place
for factorlr>. | see no reason why
tie Stat. should ship its cotton to
be manufactured into cloth or ITS
oats to be made into breakfast
food. | must cunfess that | was
investigating agricultural oppor-
tunities rather more than manu-.
featuring, yet we went through
all the important cities ard l found
they were just waking up. The
draw backs from the manufacture
ing standpoint are the lack Of
development Parts of the State

ton facilities by boat l saw
