port of the single allegation of the
complaint, that of non support.

withdrawn with the filing of new
complaint that was based upon the one
statutory charge. This was according
to previous agreement.
Judge Grimm ordered the divorce

7,799,12, representing money loaned
the defendant by the plaintiff. The
plaintiff was restored to her former
name, Mrs. Nettie Wright and a stay
of execution on the judgment for sixty

the proceeding was concluded, indicat-
ed that in the meantime he would

From the Panama Exposition.

Our towpsman Louis GRADER, who is
in California, writes as follows to his
friend Andrew Dornan:
We have been down to San Diego ex-
position and it was very fine. 1t is not
very large but the exhibits are very
fine This is the place to come to if you
want to see something very good as
the whole world is dumping in here
The machinery hall covers eight acres
of ground and is we'll filled, and all of
those big buildings are getting well
filled. Most every State has building
of their own. The Wisconsin building
is one Of the smallest here. But the
wood work inside is finer than any of
the other buildings. All this finishing
lumber was donated by a Wisconsin
lumber company. All the rooms are
furnished very fine.

Wanton Slaughter Of Birds.

Chicago, Nov. 18.-Destructio of birds,
according to G. O. Shields, president of the
league of American Sportsmen, costs the
United States billion dollars year. Col.
Shields made the assertion in an address
before the Chicago Chapter of the Daugh-
tiers of the American Revolution to-day.
''Cotton growers" he said, ''lost $780,
600, 900 year by the boil weevil. Why?
Because the quails, the prairie chickens,
the meadow larks and other birds which
were formerly there in millions have been
swept away by thoughtless men and boys.
The chinch bug costs wheat growers
another s100.OOO,0O0 he said, and the
Hessian fly 5000, ZOO, 600. ..
est takes more than $4,000 chinch bugs
to weigh an ounce and nearly $1,000 Hes
sian flies to weigh the same" continued
the speaker. A quail killed by an expert
in Ohio had in its crop 1900 chinch bugs
Another killed in Kansas wheat field had
1000 Hessian flies.''
Col. Shields added that potato growers
pay SIT ,000, 900 year for spraying poisons
and remarked that a quail slain in Penn
sylvania had 1877 potato bugs in its crop
He said that Mrs. Margaret M. Nice, of the
faculty of Massachusetts State University
after long study, estimated that quail de
stroys $4,000 bugs and 5000, 900 weed seeds
annually.

In asking Democrats to play the game
like men, the Monroe News-Star says:
Both Mr.. Barrett and Mr.. Pleasant are
honest, honorable, upright, safe and sane
men, who have ever remained true and
steadfast to the principles of the Demo-
cratic party. Both are men OF experience
and ability and have the capacity to guar
antee successful administration of gov
ernmental affairs. Be loyal to your party
principles and ignore the siren call of the
Bull Moose. If you must vote for Mr..
Parker do as other honorable men have
done, come out in the open and declare
your allegiance to the Progressive and
henceforth refrain from voting in any kind
of Democratic primary.

Lamentations,

They that be slain with the sword are

want of the fruits of the field.-4, g..
And her people sigh, they seek bread :;
they have given their pleasant things for
meat to relieve the soul: see, o Lord, and
consider; for am become vile.-1, II.
Remember, O Lord, what is come upon
us: consider, and behold our reproach.
Our inheritance is turned to strangers, our
houses to aliens. We are orphans and
fatherless, our mothers are as widows. We
have drunken our water for money; our
wood is sold unto us.-5, IA.
Mine enemies chased me sore, like bird,
without cause. They have cut off my life
in the dungeon, and cast stone upon me.
Waters flowed over mine head; then said,
am cut off. called upon thy name, o
Lord, out of the low dungeon. Thou hast
heard my voice: hide not thine ear at my
breathing, at my cry.-3, $3.50.
o Lord, thou hast seen my wrong: Judge
thou my cause. Thou hast seen all their
vengeance and all their imaginations
against me. Thou hast heard their re-
proach, O Lord, and all their imaginations
against me; the lips of those that rose up
against me all the day. Behold their sit
ting down, and their rising up; / am their
music. Render unto them recompense,
Q Lord according to their hand.-3, $500.

FROM OUR STATE EXCHANGES.

Haynesville News: Mr.. Barrett is lead
ing movement that is bound to win in the
State, whether or not under him or some
one else, and soon at least.
Mansfield Enterprise: The ''liker" ad-
vocates are spending thousands of dollars
in the one one items of postage, to circu
late whisky literature in Louisiana.
Mansfield Enterprise: 1t is announced
that Col. Pleasant will soon visit DeSoto
Parish, in order to retard the landslide that
seems to be carrying everything for Barrett
in this section.
Bastrop Enterprise: If Democrats do
not like Barrett nor favor prohibition, they
should, by all means, vote for Pleasant
rather than Parker, for the simple reason
that Parker wants to hand Louisiana over
to the G. 0. ?.
Shreveport Journal: In denying that
the Bosses have endorsed complete State
ticket, Mayor Behrman admits they have
endorsed Col. Pleasant, because his views
on the liquor question are satisfactory 10
them. What 30 the pr0hibitionis;s OF Lou
;siana think Of that? Are they going to
hell Mayor Behrman and his fellow bosses
to save the licensed saloon?
Shreveport Caucasian: In this poli,ica!
contest the lines as drawn can not DE EiS-
interpreted. Barrett stands against Boss
ism and the 50 loon. Col. Pleasant stands
AS the very opposite of Barrett. and finally
he issue must be determined BY the ma
jority Of .fa Democrats partici patlng in the
January II, 1916, primary. 1t is believed
that the great majority Of the people who
are opposed to Bosssm and to the domina
ton OF the saloon will vote for Barrel.
Shreveport Times: IfRapides has voted
for prohibition, as seems to be the case,
there is nothing for the people of that parish
but to accept the result with the best grace
possible. Many of them may not be in
favor of prohibition, but when the question
is settled by vote of the people the obi
cation rests upon all to respect the law and
see that is is enforced. That will be a duty
of the prohibitonist, as we'll as the
prohibitionist. The law is higher than any
mans opinion of what it should be.
