BY CHARLES S. PEASE

AS the train came to stop outside
the Grand Central station she glanced
up from her book to look squarely into
the eyes Of young man not a yard
away in another car. Of course she re-
turned to her book at once, but when
her train moved forward she just
couldn't help making sure that he
wasn't looking still. He was, though,
and his cap was off. Fairly caught"
flashed a twinkle in his eyes, and the
trains slid away in opposite directions.

"Bless my heart, here you are, Madge!
My dear, come right along; my machine
is waiting on Forty -second street." and
Uncle Don, otherwise Dr.. Donald Cam

$50 you are bent on carrying out
your plans to go a-nursing in France?'

along up the avenue, "and you want to
put on the finishing touches and the
high polish of an expert trained nurse
in the Morningside hospital under my
eye. Is that the idea?''
Eyes, indeed. and you are delighted
too. So don't make up any fibs

squeezing his arm.
That night there was a new nurse il
the accident ward of the Morningside

coin.

NEW CITIZENS.

BOssier Parish has an interest in the
movement that is now taking shape in
North Louisiana to advertise the unoc-
cupied lands of this section. There have
been several attempts during the past
thirty wears to turn the homeseekers OF
the Middle West to the South, and all
have baen accompanied with small de-
gree of success, but nothing in the way
of great movement of people to these
vacant lands has ever occurred because
there were 50 many other sections with
cheap lands closer to the seekers that
caught the bulk of the business.
But the time of the South has at last
come. There is no more cheap land in
the West. There is no more cheap land
anywhere, save in the South. The rail-
road systems, after having promoted the
settlement of other states and territories
through which their lines we're built,
will now be interested in helping to
advertise the South; and this fact is the
best assurance VIC have that the South
is to experience a season of the greatest
development and prosperity in her
history.
In the states of the Middle West there
is class of tenant farmers who would
profit by settling on the lands of North
ern Louisiana. These tenant farmers
are comparatively wellto-do, as farmer
must own several thousand dollars worth
of stock and tools in order to be able to
even rent the high priced land of that
section. That farm land is valued at
from $3.50 to $500 per acre, and little OF
it is for sale at the prices named. Ten
ants can hardly hope to become land
owners there, but the capital that enables
them TO he tenants in the Middle West
is ample to provide them with farms Of
their own in Bossier Parish, and leave
them a surplus to operate upon.
Twenty dollars per acre will buy as
good land in Bossier Parish-already in
cultiyation-as those people can buy fol
ten times the money in their own coun-
try. And they can buy our undevelopeo
land for great deal less. Who doubts
then, that they can he induced to come
to North Louisiana?
Only the cooperation of the railroads
is necessary to the getting of this move
ment under way. The attempts to turf
the homescehers this way have. onl!
partially succeeded in the past because
the railroads wee more interested il
developing other sections, but now th
railroads viii profit by the development
OF the South and there is no doubt tina
they VIII do good work in promoting tn
movement.
Bossier Parish people would do vel
to interest themselves in the proposition
to get this idea into practical workin,

THE BANNER S price Of
4 subscription to be IN
creased to $3.50 per wear

att AS was some months ago ntlmated i'll
Il these columns, the price of subscrip-
ton of the Banner is to be increased to
81 so per year. This raise in the price of
the Banner is made necessary because of
the increased cost of materials entering
into the making of the paper, the prin-
cipal of which is news print paper. That
commodity is now scarce i'll the market
and continues to advance in price. a
recent shipment Of forty reams of print
paper cost the proprietor in New Orleans
Just about double what former shipments I.
cost some months ago.
GN The manager of the Banner regrets
Il this change, and particularly that it
has become necessary to make it at this
time. However, no department of a
business enterprise should represent only
drain, to be supported at the expense
of another department, SO the only re-
naming recourse is the increased price.
It is absolutely necessary to make the
subscription department of the Banner
revenue producing.
ct Our readers and old friends will please
take notice of this announcement, but
should bear in mind that the increased
price will not become effective until JAN

LAWYERS BUSY PLANNING NEW
DEFENSE FOR oRPET

EFEN0E TUX OkHEI
Will Orpet's defense, in event the
grand jury indicts him and he must
stand trial for the murder of Marian
Lambert, will be that the girl COM
mitted suicide. Just what story the
young university student will tell of
his presence with Miss Lambert in
the Lake Forest woods at the time of
her death will not be known until the
trial, for Orpet's attorneys have for
babe him to discuss the case.
The defense will contend that the
Lake Forest high school girl was not
about to become mother and had
never been in delicate condition, but
deliberately received Orpet in the
hopes of forcing him to wed her.
The defense has checked up on the
subject of bottles and insists the bot
tie which Orpet bought in Madison
the day he left for his fatal tryst
with the sweetheart he was about to
spurn was used by Orpet for a shaw
ing lotion. The state has contended
that Orpet's purchasing this bottle is
the strongest link in the chain of evil
dence upon which the prosecutor
based hopes of conviction.
The defense will insist that every
action of Orpet was logic of an limo
cent man, that he would not have ar
ranged the final meeting through a
third person, Miss Josephine Davis,
if he had contemplated murder; that
Orpet would not have chosen place
for the crime that is almost public;
that his flying instead of calling for
help was the horror of a scandal.
