BOSSIER OIL PROSPECTS.

The organization of the Caddo Oil and
Refining Company, Inc, with capital
for development purposes Of S75O,OoO
would seem to point to more activity in
the Bossier Parish field in the boring OF
prospect wells for Oil and gas. Thenew
company has acquired leases on some
$4,000 acres OF land, of which $1,000
acres are located in Bossier Parish. 1t
is announced that 250 wells will be at
oacc drilled and, while most of them
may be drilled in the proven fields OF
Caddo Parish, there is good reason for
supposing that number will also be
put down in prospective territory.
ANY rate, the bringing in of new
wells in the proven field will cause a
good deal Of activity in the nearby
territory. ...., ..-...- .....
If there is oil or gas in paying guam
titles in North Bossier there never was
a time when there was so good a pros
pect for IFS development as now.
William Sidney Porter, better known
as 0. Henry, made himself love d
throughout the English speaking world
by writing short stories. About all the
newspaper men in the United States
knew that o. Henry got the greater part
of his material for the short stories he
wrote while lodging the law in South
America and while serving his sentence
later in the Penitentiary. No news
paper man, however, was heartless
enough to make copy out of this knowl-
edge. 1t remained for college pro-
fessor, after the death Of the short story
writer, to turn this fact into cash by
publishing short biography of the dead
writer. Every one who has read O.
Henry's writings will continue to have
a high opinion of Sidney Porter. All
his best work was done in expiation Of
his sin.
Cotton event Off IS per bales the
other day "amid scenes Of great excite
ment" on the New York cotton exchange.
The crop forecast was given as the rea-
son for the slump. Nobody this side OF
Heaven can forecast the cotton crop,
no more than any human can forecast
the cotton market. Both are SO un-
certain that the man who risks his money
on them is born to lose. Only the man
who raises cotton with his eye on the
low price is wise.

THE BANNER price Of
Il subscription to be in
creased to $3.50 per wear

aT AS was some months ago intimated in
u these columns, the price of subscrip-
ton of the Banner is to be increased to
$50 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 in the market
and continues to advance in price.
recent shipment Of forty reams of print
paper cost the proprietor in New Orleans
just about double what former shipments
cost some months ago.
e The manager of the Banner regrets
this change, and particularly that it
has become necessary to make it at this
time. However, no department of d
business enterprise should represent only
a 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.
N 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
uary l, 1917. Until that time 81 sub
scriptions will be received and all sub
scribers may pay for as many years in
advance as they choose. Beginning with
1917 the prices of subscription will be-
