PARISH FAIR CONTEST
 A STATE FAIR FEATURE.

With advance information indicat- ing that twenty-five parishes will par ticipate, there is every reason to be- lieye that the 1916 parish fair contest at the Louisiana State Fair, Novem- Der 1 to 6, will be far superior to all the previous contests in this depart ment. Several parish fair organiza- tions, including some formed this year, will be among the exhibitors, and the rivalry promises to be un- usually keen and interesting.
 Each parish with an exhibit will be furnished with booth, 10x20 feet. in the Agricultural Building, so that the exhibits may be attractively arranged and displayed. Besides forming part of the parish exhibit in which they are shown, individual exhibits may al so be entered in the general contests for premiums offered for individual displays.
 One thousand dollars will be dis tributed among the ten parishes with tn best showing. In addition, the sum of $100 is given to the parishes exhibiting but not taking any of the parish fair prize money for defraying expenses. The lucky parishes also re. ceive $50 expense money.
 The Agricultural Building will be increased in size this year, 90x11O feet. This will insure room for all.
 For further information apply to Secretary L. N. Brueggerhoff, Shreve- port.

WILSON AND BRYAN TOGETHER
Preident and Former Secretary State
 Indorse Amendment No. 13.

With the adoption of Amendment No. 13, Arkansas will have a perfect initiative and referendum law as ap- proved by President Wilson.
 Of our initiative and referendum system, President Woodrow Wilson says: Back of all reform lies the method of getting it. That they are the necessary instruments in tue hands of the people to secure these reforms. * They are the key that opens the door to our legislative house. * | The initiative is means of seeing to it that measures which the people want shall be passed when legislatures defy or ignore public opinion. The referendum is a means of seeing to it that the unrepresenta- shall not be placed upon the statute book"
 It will be remembered that MT. Bryan made many speeches in Arkan- sas in favor of the initiative and ref erendum prior to the adoption of our present law. For eighteen years he has been an earnest advocate of this legislation, and makes the emphatic statement that, 'I regard the initia- tive and referendum as the greatest modern improvement III strengthening representative government"
 MT. Bryan could not foresee when advocating the passage of Amend ment No. 10, our present initiative and referendum law, that legisla- ture would destroy much of it's value to the people through an enabling act, and that the courts would detract much rom it's usefulness by inter- pretalions of it's meanings contrary to the intentions of it's framers, put Amendment No. 13 will give to it all of the virtues ascribel to this legis lation by MT.
