The attention of our farmers and gar
deners is called to the article on our
first page relative to 'Fail Gardening
in the South" The Agricultural De-
partment recommends that full gar
den crop be planted in the fall. Mr..
w. D. Flanagan has garden in which
there is growing and thriving at this
time all the vegetables that other folks
plant in the spring. What he succeeds
in doing other people can also do.

Attended the Baton Rouge and Natchi.
tOches Short Courses.


These two short courses have been
a great benefit to me in the way OF
agricultural education. The first short
course attended was at Baton Rouge,
February 1st to 11th- / enjoyed my.
self, and think all of the rest did.
There were 127 girls and boys enrolled
at this course The exercises were
fine. We enjoyed listening to the lec-
lures in the morning, and ia the after
noon we visited different business
houses of the town.
The State paid my expenses and also
gave $40 for q prize on my acre of
corn, on which ! made 76 bushels.
The next short course l attended was
few days ago at Natchitoches, Aug.
14th to 18th. There were 155 boys at
this course, and we had time killing
beeves. playing ball, and listening at
our instructors lecturing on hogs, cat
tie, corn, etc. On Friday we had a
picnic two miles down Cane river from
Natchitoches.
/ was one of the boys to receive ex-
pense money from the Bank of Colfax,
and words are not adequate to express
my appreciation to the Bank and Mr..
Benton, our demonstration agent, for
what they have done for me, and the
interest they are taking in the work.
Iwant to thank all business men that
are helping in the agricultural work.

New Goods in All the Latest Pattern

New Goods in All the Latest Patterns.
Mr.. JAG Bloch returned from
St. Louis last Saturday, where
he has been to purchase a full
stock of fall and winter goods.
He says the market is high for
all lines of goods, but as he
bought for cash and took advan-
tage of all discounts, he is pre-
pared to give his customers the
best figures obtainable in up-to-
date goods. He personally Sc
lected all goods, which have al
ready begun to arrive, and in
vites all to visit Bloch's Speciality
Store if they want the full value
of their money in desirable goods.

The Railroad Strike and Arbitration.

The Railroad Strike and Arbitration.
For a month past the country
has been in dread ola threatened
strike of nearly all the railroad
employees in the United States.
The strike would embrace 225
different railroads, employing
400, 600 men, and the whole coun-
try would be seriously affected
by it.
The bone of contention is as to
eight hours constituting a day,
with every hour over to be paid
for at price and a half-and no
man to be required to work over
IL hours in any case. Also there
was a demand for a small in
crease of pay to the men.
President Wilson was called
upon to arbitrate the matter, and
he has about succeeded in get
ting the contending parties to
agree to a compromise. He pro-
poses that the railroads accept
the eight-hour day. and pay price
and a half for over time. The
men are advised to accept this
compromise, and to abandon
their demand for increase of
wages.
The latest advices are to the
effect that the railroads will ac-
cept the eight-hour day, with
some slight notifications, and
that while the employees are
somewhat placated by the rail-
road companies concession, as
yet they are holding off in, ac-
cepting it. The surrender of the
railroad officials, however, is ex-
pected to win them over, and
the danger of the strike is re-
garded as practically over.

 What is said to be a thrilling story of the class struggle, will be given on Sunday night at the Eagle Hall. This is Prom Dusk to Dawn" and the notices of this remarkable photoplay declare that it features Clarence Darrow the great legal champion of labor. Surely Darrow has figured in the dramatic events of labor time and time again, but one hardly expected to see him fea- tured in the movies. The picture if it does represent Darrow and is true to life ought to be well worth see ing. A very entertaining L-K Comedy, appropriately provides the lighter vein for the program at this most excellent show.
