Good Cattle Being Sacrificed.

Most Louisiana farmers have prob
ably heard directly or indirectly of the
serious tlrouth in Western Texas, but
perhaps have not thought of It's effect
on the cattle market. On account of
this drouth high grade cattle in large
herds arc heing sold at beef prices.
This affords Il golden opportunity for
louisiana farmers to rescue this first
class breeding stock from the slaughter
house and at the same time improve
the class OF cattle that is being pro-
duced in the state.
Farmers interested in obtaining some
of these cattle should communicate
with their parish demonstration agent
or with r. H. Benton, tr., Live stecl

Farewell Address to North Bossier "Soldier Boys

Dear Editor: | submit herewith a |
copy Of an address made by Mr.. w. w.
Mcdonald, young attorney who has
bnt recently located in our town, the
occasion being the patriotic meeting
and flag raising held on the afternoon
Of the 4th, ut which time a farewell
was given to the first quota of young
men to leave for training to enter the
trenches in France. Mention Of Mr..
McDOnald's address wa snlade in my
last weeks report, but a number of US
up this way, finding the same apt to
the general trend Of sentiment Of the
day and well worthy Of space, would
be pleased to see it in print in the Ban
ner.--ILAIN DEALING CORRESPONDENT.
Mr. Chairman. Ladies' and Gentlemen.
We are called together to-day for the
performance of a patriotic duty which,
l am sure to most Of us, has mingled
with It's JOY something of the bitter
ness Of sorrow. It is always hard to
say good-bye-goOd-bye to those we
know and love-thougl Shakespeare in
his immortal Romeo and Juliet says,
parting Is such sweet SORROW"
No American citizen Is worthy of the
name who Is unwilling to do honor and
homage to the flag Of his country, and
for the same reason no community Is
worthy to be called a friend of her sol
lier boy If she will forget and forsake
him In the hour Of his departure, when
he leaves for battlefields unknown, to
fight and die IL need be to make YOU
and ME free.
This occasion will probably impfess
us, more vividly perhaps than any
thing else before, that America is in
all reality face to face with the prob
lelns OF war. In this hour we can at
least come to say goodbye to our boys,
raise over their gallant heads the enl-
blenl of their country, and tell them
that whatever doth betide we love them
STILL and wish ITEM now a safe voyage,
and a happy aE.s glorious return.
In this critical hour, my friends, 1t
would be treacherous to underestimate
or rather, minimize the magnitude O1
/ this conflict. / tell you in all candol
that America to-day is confronted will

that will put the resources Of the na

wanted 20 see them in action against

the request as a disciplinary measure
following his failure 10 show up for

case induced him TO return 90 New

jumped TO the conclusion that II was

demanded that the suspension be
lifted and that every cent Of his sal
airy held up during his suspension be
given him. lie declared he never would
play baseball again unless his demands
were met.
Baker made these demands OF Pres
idont Ruppert, but Ruppert referred
the pOuiing third baseman 10 Donovan
who told Baker The truth OF the mat
ter. The suspension was lifted, Baker
drew his check, and was back In har.
ness shortly after.
Bakers loss would have been a tire
mendous blow 10 the Yankees. Jus
now they possess one Of the poorest
clubs Of the American league. In Ba.
ker they have one position we'll flllcC

NEW YORK, oct. ii.-When Home
