We believe the people of Tensas
parish will be very we'll pleased with
this schedule and do not expect to
hear any more very serious complaints,
for this is just about as good sched-
ule es the road can give us with one
train. OF course it does not equal the
old schedule when both trains were
running, but in view of the demands
now being made on the rail roads of
the country by the government we
must reconcile ourselves to some in
convenience. The patrons have COM
plained so much about the previous
schedules that the present we are sure
will be accepted without purmur and
't seems just about the best the rail

SUGGESTIONS TO STOCKMEN.
Arabia, La, Aug. 2s, 1917.
Editor Tensas Gazette,


Editor Tensas Gazette,
st. Joseph, La.
Dear Sir:-1t is particularly appro-
pirate just at this time to consider the
utilization of the immense amount Of
pasturage and feed being produced in
Mississippi and Louisiana for The pur-
pose OF increasing the live stock pop
ulstion of these States. With the Fed
ersl and State Governments cooper
sttng to increase food production md
to conserve the supplies in sight, we
wish to call your special attention to
Vie condition existing at the present
Vine In our:.neighboring State of Teas.
We are advised that the most sew ere
orouth that has ever invaded the
6outh snd Western part of Texas is
driving thousands of cattle to market
that are At for sale only as stockers
and feeders.
We quote one of the best authorities,
Mr.. Lee Russell, of Fort Worth, Texas,
who says: "Ahead see great short
age Of beef, and something will GER
eainly have to be done. want to go
on record as saying the Texas cattle
supply is the lowest it has ever been
and 1t will take from to 10 years to
rebuild 1t. The most severe drouth
that ever invaded the South and West
srn part of Texas drove worlds of cat
tie to market this year that otherwise |
would not have come. 1t has not only |
cleaned out the beef supply, but dimin-
ished the breeding herds to a min
imum."
In the last few days the writer, hav-
ing been advised by some Louisiana
parties that they were anxious to get
IN touch with parties who desire grass
lands for cattle, wrote to, perhaps,
The largest individual cattle man in
Texas, with the result that mao was
sent to New Orleans Immediately for
she purpose Of securing pastures
The present condition offers an ax-
cePtional opportunity for the man in
the Southern states with funds to stock
up with good grade cattle and for the
man With pastures to rent for grazing
cattle.
We will endeavor to assist Interested
parties who will communicate with us
and urge immediate action.
Very truly yours,

Chamber of Commerce.
Gentlemen:-
beg to present my report for the
month of November The most i'm
portant, perhaps, which has been
done during the past month is that
OF increasing the membership, which
was undertaken by the Directors
While the different Committees have
turned in some 80 new memberships
they reported their work incomplete
and that more would follow. So far
there has been no following, though
1t is believed there is much good ma
terial which can be secured by the
same Committees if the matter is
properly presented. The financial
end of the business is most vitality i'm.
portant and ought to be regularly and
Systematically worked The resour.
ces of the organization could be in.
creased each month if every Direc.
tor would carry an application blank
in his pocket and be on the lookout
constantly for new members. We are
missing these funds every month.
Tourists. winter visitors and perma-
nent settlers have continued to come
in during the past month in larger
numbers than in any previous Novem.
Der, and it is satisfactory to note that
we are getting an increasing number
of the better class.
The permanent settlers are as fol-
lows: Lon Bean, from Virginia; l.. T.
Barritt, from Jacksonville; S. r.
Daugherty from Ohio; r. M. Fades,
from Arkansas; C. w. Graham, from
S. G.; G. X Hyde, from Canada; T.
b. Hilman, from Virginia. DR.. Perry
c. Johnson, from Indiana; j. e. Nc.
Grew, from Indiana; Henry Wagner
from New York; e. Wickman, from
Wisconsin.
This is fine list for one month
and should be very encouraging tc
this organization as a partial result
for an investment on the part of each
member of $167.
Many more are due to arrive thi
month and next, who state that the,
intend to locate in this neighborhoo,
if they can find what they are lookin
for. This Office can not, of course, &
very far beyond bringing people her
and showing them every possibl
