stated that Il dipping vat is soon to he
constructed in his community, or
rather. that Il movement is OH foot to
do so. There are two cattle owners out
his way and one in North Bossier, he
said, who will sell rather than attempt
to bunch and dip their cattle every
fourteen days. This does not actually
mean opposition to the plan of dipping,
but that the owners. who have in the
past and are to-day raising their cattle
OH the range. believe it will lie too
great an expense and require too much
of their time for them to dip every
other week. In some sections of the
parish. as with these owners cattle
range over vast territory and become
greatly scattered miles away from the
homes of their owners.

tention to discrepancy that appeared
issue of the Shreveport Times. He
says:
Editor Bossier Banner. Benton, La.
Dear Sir: noticed in the Shreve-
port Times of this morning that Bos-
sier Parish is credited with only
Sl3,65O subscribed to the second Lib
erty Loan. This is certainly an error,
as more than that amount was sub
scribed at Elm Grove. and | know of
other subscriptions aggregating more
than that sum. No doub this comes
from the fact that N .iy Bossier
subscribers made their subscriptions
through the banks of Shreveport and
Caddo promptly, 'hoggcd the credit.
l believe it would be we'll for you to
call the attention of Bossier citizens
to this in order that in the coming
bond sale we may get credit for what
do.
This stand is we'll taken. The Ban
ner has for many years past Zealously
guarded and contended for those things
that rightfully belonged to the parish.
its people and its institutions. The
tendency of the day seems to he to
flock to the city. to add to its wealth.
achievement and ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. but
we continue such Il nOSS-!iack that we
have never joined in this popular
movement. We think all the parishes.
and smaller political subdivisions. as
to that. should stand alone iii such
matters. and surely it will lie conceded
hy all that BoSSier Parish and not
Caddo should have credit for those
amounts subscribed to the second Lib
erty Loan by its own residents. We
know of some subscribers to the loan
who made application to tire Bank Of
Benton, that bank securing its bonds
direct from the Federal Reserve Bank
ut Dallas. Texas. and thus BOsSier got
full credit. Also. a number of the resi-
dents of Plain Dealing and its territory
applied to the Plain Dealing Bank.
That is the right way and the right
spirit, as we see it. 1t may be more
convenient for many residents of the
parish to secure their bonds i'll Shreve-
port hut in doing so let them specify
that they are from BoSSier and that
their subscriptions should lie passed to
the proper column. 1t is important
that this he done.
1t is not in any wise the purpose of
the editor of the Banner to find fault
with the report as appearing in the
Times. What we find in print in its
columns is merely a news story, and Il
good one at that. But, agreeable to
the suggestion of our South Bossier
friend. we wish to call the attention of
residents of the parish to their duty.
Learn to say: Enter in Bossier'S
column" If YOU fail in this, then
surely the banks should. when the sub
scriber is known to be resident Of
this parish. at least exercise that de-
gree of forethought that will prompt
them to keep the record straight.

The Dixie Overland Coming.

\ caller this afternoon was Mr. Will
Mercer. of Shreveport. who comes up
this way selling groceries every Thurs
day and who. as usual. was full of
talk. OF late Will has been a great
booster for improved highways. and
this was his line of calculation this
afternoon. He holds some executive
Office in connection with the committee
for furthering the cause of the Dixie
Overland Highway (Atiantic to the
Pacific, as proposed) but we have re-
ally forgotten just what, SO to get him
curbed for the moment we asked him
for a contribution on the subject. Fol
lowing is what he very kindly reported
Representative residents of Richland
Parish held mt Rayville the other day
an enthusiastic meeting to further the
good roads movement and elected W. \.
Broughton permanent chairman. They
are figuring on building "A 16-foot brick
roadway across the parish.
Part of this road will form IL link
Of the Dixie Overland Highway, which
will be one more parish added to the
blue ribbon list on this road. Madison,
Webster and Union will then be the
only open links in this state 1t is
hoped to get them in line soon.
The Chamberlair-Dcnt Bill, for mil
itary highways, has been presented to
Congress. and it is expected it will
pass with but little opposition. Both
the Dixie-Overland and Jefferson High
ways, We hope, will be included in this
bill as military necessity.

10000 UNION MEN
UNDER ARMS
OF This Number in Australian Army
$4,000 Have Lost Their Lives,
According to Former Premier.

The great part Australian labor has
taken in the war was told to an au-
dience of union men by former Pre-
mier Crawford Vaughan, of the Aus
tralian government, at Seattle, recent
ly. Mr. Vaughan expressed high ap-
probation of the work of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, under Presi-
dent Gompers, and the Department of
Labor.
Eight per cent of the population of
the Dominion has enlisted, he said,
and of the number of Australian
troops, 10000 were members of
trades unions. Of this 10000, ne
continued, $4,000 have already given
their lives.
1 Labor, he declared, is strongly sup
porting the cause of the allies in Aus
tralia. He declared that the Dominion
had adopted its political system large
4 ly from the government of the United
States, and urged American working
men to do all in their power to pro-
tect democracy in the present crisis.

A UNION GOES
TO WAR
New and Striking Demonstration
of Labor's Spirit and Deter
mination Given When
Charter is Granted to
Local of Miners
AS They Sail
For France.

Denver, Col.-One whole local un-
ion of the International Union of Mill,
Mine and Smelter Workers has gone
to France Every member of this un-
ion was volunteer in the Twenty
seventh Mining Engineers corps in
the United States army.
The miners, coming from various
local unions, were stationed at Camp
Meade, Colorado. They applied to
headquarters for separate charter
and it was issued to them by Presi-
dent Charles H Meyer and Secretary
Ernest Mills President Meyer be-
lieves this is the only complete local
union in the army.
There are 130 members in this sol
dier-miner union, each with card
paid up for the duration of the war.
Their charter has gone with them to
France. While at Camp Meade the
union held regular meetings, but with
the beginning of service overseas the

union membership-bu with the spirit
of trade unionism running strong to
inspire them in their work
President Meyer believes that Moth
ing better typifies the spirit of labor
in the war than this union of soldiers,
which he believes is the only one in
the army.
So far as is known here there is no
precedent for the action of this local
union in this country. During the
constitutionalist revolution in Mex
leo, however, unions enlisted in the
revolution as unions, and fought un-
der their union banners, the Casa del
Obrero Mundial (House of the Work
ers of the World, federation of un-
ions) having had signed contract
with the revolutionary provisional
government recognizing mutuality Of
aims.
The enlistment of this local union
of miners is looked upon here as a new
and striking demonstration of labor's
complete absorption in the nations
task and its complete oneness with
the whole national spirit and deter
mination.

activity and enthusiasm within the
ranks of the various unions than there
ever was before.
The big feature of the celebration
this year will be the parade. Much
friendly rivalry exists in all the locals
to make the best showing, not in the
greatest number, as some of the To-
Gals have a small membership, but a
showing Of the largest percentage of
membership in line IS the goal. The
machinists expect to furnish 1000 men
alone, the two molders' locals will
have big numbers in line and the car
penters, another large organization,
will have a large representation and
all the other organizations expect to
show UP 100 per cent Four bands
and several drum corps will furnish
the music for the marchers. Every
man in line will carry an American
flag. Many of the organizations will
wear natty uniforms.
The outing, which will be held at
the Butler County Fairgrounds, will
be the biggest thing of the kind ever
staged by the local organized labor
movement. From the time that the
parade arrives, until nearly midnight,
the Fairgrounds will be crowded with
merrymakers Every form of amuse-
ment that could be secured will help
make the day one long to be remem-
bered. The committee Of arrange
ments has spared no expense to make
this years picnic gala event.

With the passing of another year
the organized labor movement in
Hamilton is again in readiness to cele-
brate Labor Day. On next Monday,
the twenty-sixth annual celebration
and outing under the auspices of the
local Cooperative Trades and Labor
Council, will be held.
There is no doubh that his years
celebration will be the greatest with
in history of the trades union move
ment in this city. There are more
union men in Hamilton today than
there ever was. This despite the fact
that hundreds of union men have been
called into the service of Uncle Sam
within the past year, There is more
