Monday-Negro Day.

Monday-Negro Day.
 The department of ethics and fair extension propaganda, under the direc ton of Mrs. M. R. Graham Bankston. has an individual and distinctive pro gramme of days, each with separate chairman and noted speakers. Pa. triotism, woman's progress, art, socisl service, ethnology, modern philosophy, economies, philanthropy and good times are the wide range of subjects that will appeal to thoughtful citizen ship during nine days of public discus sion and instruction.
 The list of special days reveals the fact that the nights will be as attract. i've as the days. Friday and Saturday will be the night horse shows, among the most brilliant society functions given in New Orleans in years. There will be other features for various eve nings. and the grounds will be as bright as day through the use of cleo tric flood lighting, which is to receive its first test on such big scale in this section.

PROGRAM IF FAR INCLUDES VARIETY

New Orleans To Have Events of Interest to Every State in
 the South.

One of the greatest tributes to the position attained by the National Farm and Live Stock Show, New Or, leans, at a single bound and in less than single year, was the granting of unusually low rates by all the rad. roads. It was recognition of the ben, eft of the enterprise to the farming and all other industries of the south, and of the wisdom of giving all tho people of the south a chance to reach it and profit by it.
 The war has placed an immense strain upon transportation facilities, and it is anticipated that there will be a shortage of cars and locomotives. For that reason the roads all over the country have largely reduced their concessions to the fairs. In some Of the northern states there were no spe' cial rates put on, so that the attend ance was seriously interfered with The rates allowed the National are much better than last year, from the very cheap two days excursion privi lege to the practically one-way fare for the round trip and "stay as long as you like"
 The opportunity of taking in the big event with all it's education and it's chances to buy, sell and get acquaint ed, is too strong to resist. The farm CTS and the farm wife's and the farm youths difficulty Is going to be to do eide as to the days on which to come, for each day has its own attraction and it's own appeal. The best plan IS to go for, the entire fair. The ten days will be equivalent to college course markets If that Is impossible, then the proper course is to get together and organize parties to enjoy some of the bright spots that tempt most. To facilitate such survey the list of days is appended, although the mere titles do not begin to furnish all the details, nor is the list entirely com plete even so short time before the show. However, here it Is:
 Saturday, Nov. 10-Inaugural Day
 
 School and Childrens Day.
 Sunday-New Orleans Day, Frater- nal Day, Floral Night parade { Monday-America and Allies Day, Liberty Loan Day, Retail Merchants Day.
 ! Tuesday - Wholesale Merchants and Manufacturers Day, University and College Day. Land Day. Wednesday-International live stock convention, John M Parker chair man; Louisiana and Mississippi Day. Thursday-Farmers and Planters Day, Federal Land Bank Day, Agricul- tural Products Night parade, auction sale of Hereford and Holstein cattle, Duroc-Jersey swine and horses.
 Friday-Pan-America Day, night horse show, auction sale of Angus and Jersey cattle, Poland China and Berk- shire swine.
 Saturday-Foo Conservation Day, Boys and Girls Club Day, night horse show, Football Day, auction sale of Shorthorn and Red Poll cattle, Chester White and Hampshire swine. and vari. ous breeds of sheep.
