POLITICS QUIET.

There isn't much doing politically
to cause any excitement here so tar
this campaign. H. S. Pohe filed his
notice of candidacy for the Assembly
on the Democratic ticket just before
registration closed. He is making the
run on a dry platform.
Wint. Willis is circulating his certi-
ficate of nomination as independent
candidate for the otlce OF District
Attorney. He says there is' no race
without at least two entries.
Z. F. Rawson has his certificate tor
the Office of Clerk and Treasurer Just
about filled up. He is meeting with a
great deal of encouragement from the
voters. -.
Rumor has it that Dick Randall Will
be out for signers to certificate OF
nomination for the Office OF Sheriff be-
fore the oath.

From Dayton Rogers.

The Banners neighbor across the street.
Mrs. Cynthia Rogers, has one son with the
colors. He has but recently reached the
battle 'front.' and here is short letter he
has written his mother, under date of Sep
tember 21st:
Dear Mother: Haven't heard from you
as yet, but expect haven't had time to do
so. as it takes quite Il while for letter to
reach here from the States.
The weather has been quite cool for the
past few days. 1t reminds one of the fall
season at home. But we are told it does
not get SO very cold here. There has been
considerable rain the past few days.
Haven't been able to see Kelly and Gil
lum yet; don't even know where they are
located. However, one night when We were
moving l did pass Giilum. but he was
asleep, and as VIC were to stop Mt the sta
tion for only IA few seconds l would not
awaken him.
Most of the boys have been little all
ing with colds, on account of such Il change
in climate. Had it myself, but am just
about straight again.
Could write much more. but it would per
hans be censored. Can't say anything
about the country or the French way OF
living.
Write as often as you can, and tell me
about all the people ut home, and give them
all my best regards sand here's hoping tina,
| will be back in the States shortly.
Will close for this time-w1th lots OF
love for all of you. Your son, DAYTON.

War Stamp Sales in Louisiana.
Department Circular.l

Department Circular.
The L. =. Treasury Department an
nOunces that the total sales Of War Savings
Stamps and Thrift Stamps through postof-
fees and Federal Reserve banks for Scptem-
ber in Louisiana amounted to 81, 1,31O, $685.,
or 10 cents per capita and the total sales
from the beginning Of the campaign to Sep
tcmber ;Oth in Louisiana were 81, ,933, ,247.95,
or $:,32 per capita. The total sales In the
entire United States for September were
x1O, ,.I52. 81 81, or SO cents per capita, and
the sales since the beginning Of the cam
paign $772, 1887, or $1.34 per capita.
Louisiana is not doing well as the ma
jority OF the states. 1t is thirty fourth on
the list for the sales during September, and
thirty-eighth for the total sales from the be-
ginning Of the campaign. The members OF
the state committee are fearful that our
sales during October will not be nearly as
good as they should be, on account OF the
influenza epidemic, and 1t is hoped by the
committee that every one will not only re-
member their pledges but that after they
have bought the stamps according to their

stamps between now and October 31st.

The Influenza epidemic will not be
allowed to interfere with the plans for the

$17O.5OO,OOO for the seven civilian welfare
organizations, according to telegram re-
ceived from the national campaign head
quarters in New Yorx by Maj. A. 2. Oakes,
executive secretary for the Southern De-
partment Campaign Publicity Bureau. The
telegram, which quotes DR.. John II. Mott,
Director General Of the United War Work
Council, to the, effect that 1.-The disadvanta-
ges of putting off the campaign outweigh
any apparent advantages Of such delay
follows:
'The date of November 18th to 18th,
originally set for the United War Work
Campaign. will be adhered to in spite of
the country wide influenza epidemic. This
announcement has just been made by DIR.
John X. Mott, Director General of the
United War Work Council. This decision
was reached only after careful considera-
| tiOn. wide consultation and personal con-
ference with President Wilson and members
| of the War Department. The disadvanta-
ges of putting off the campaign outweigh
any apparent advantages of such delay,
| DIR. Mott stated. Although health regula-
| tions will probably prevent the holding Of
large mass meetings, the local leaders
| throughout the country can be depended
| upon to exercise their best judgment and
ingenuity in adopting plans to meet the
| changed conditions. The Fourth Liberty
Loan was carried to a stupendously success
| ful issue, even in the midst of the epidemic
| Certainly the United War Work Campaign
will not be adversely affected by the unfor.
| tunate conditions prevailing
| The lack of large mass meetings to
push the campaign will leave people more
time to read, think and decide DR.. Mott

and will voluntarily lend even greater ad
vantage than they have planned to do fol
| a wider use must be made Of the printed
| page to help Offset the lack Of big meetings
in carrying the campaign through to a sue

Dear Friends: l have just finished read
ing a brief history of Jackson Barracks,
and, believing the same would be interest
ing to the readers of the B0ssier Banner,
have sent Il written copy to the editor for
publication.
Would much rather you could all have
the opportunity Of seeing these beautiful
and historical places yourselves, but you
could hardly get a better description OF
them than is given in the souvenir booklet
from which this brief sketch was taken.

ladies volunteered as helpers to relieve our

ing less than an unconditional surrender
by the Kaiser. for that Is. in our opinion,
the only guarantee for a safe peace.
