TO THE PUBLIC.

AS we have been asked a number
|of times whether a person who en-
ters the fair grounds before p. m.
each day of the fair may remain for
the night show and fireworks on the
same ticket, we desire to answer most
|unequivocally yes.
Your season ticket or general adj
mission ticket gives you the right
to remain in theh fair grounds as long
as you wish until the gates are closed
at midnight, although your pass-out
stamp during the day is good only
until p. m.
Az who enter the grounds after s
p. M, except those holding exhibitors
tickets, will be required to pay the
regular day admission price of so
cents and 25 cents and this is be-
cause our contract with the fireworks
|people--who share in the night gate
|receipts-compels us to make this
charge.
Remember, though, that you, can
enter on your season ticket or pass
out check any time up to 6 p. m. and
see the night show and fireworks
without any additional charge unless
you purchase a seat in the grand
stand.

TO FACILITATE DIVORCE.

Respect and reverence for the
marriage relation seems to be sadly
ON the decline in Louisiana, as evil
denced by a bill introduced by Rep
resentative V. E. Mitchell Of Beau
regard parish, in the house few
days ago. Despite the fact that the
laws of of this state already provided
too many grounds" for divorce. the
in 1916 adopted. an act,
adding as another ground for the
annulment of the marriage tie,
separation of the spouses for
la period of seven years. The bill in
|troduced by Mr.. Mitchell is intended
to amend the act of 1915, so as to
make it possible for married persons
to secure divorce after living sep
arate and apart for only two years.
The adoption of such law would
be very unfortunate indeed since it
would very much cheaper marriage
which is already held entirely too
cheap in this state. What is needed
is not additional facilities for secu-
ring divorce but laws placing great
er safeguards around the marriage
tie, and limiting and restricting the
grounds of divorce. In the state
of New York, there is only one ground
for divorce, and that is adultery,
while in North Carolina divorce can
not be obtained at all. And be it said
to the credit Of the latter state that
it is spared the unenviable notoriety
that is given to some of the other
states by the publications of the pro-
ceedings of sensational divorce cases
which are proving disgrace to the
country.

STORY OF PACKING INDUSTRY.

I01Ch1 OF fACh1Nd lNDUSIR I .
| For the past three and one-half
years Swift and Company, one of
the big packing concerns of the
country, has been telling, in adver-
tisements which have appeared from
time to time, in some of the leading
newspapers Of the country, the his
tory of the packing industry and of
the company. They have done this
in order that the general public
might have real understanding of
the business. Many persons believe
that the firm of Swift and Com
pany is composed Of one man or of
a small group of men, but this is not
the case. More than one-third of
those who work for the company
are partners in the firm. More than
III 200 employees of the company
own or are paying for shares in the
business. Their holdings represent
Ia total OF nearly 100000 shares of
the par value of 500 per share,
which amounts to more than s24,-
100000. One man out of every
three who work for the company are
financially interested in its business.
This explains and accounts in a
large measure for the tremendous
success which the firm is now enjoy
ing and which it has always en-
joyed. It's employees who own stock in
the corporation naturally feel a keen
interest in its business since their
own success depends upon the sue

ber and variety of exhibits already

shows and free attractions, ETC.,
which have been provided for the
entertainment of the visitors, the

scored a tremendous success. Big

enjoy the variety of fun, and Incl
dentally to do some shopping at the
stores and otherwise establish bus
mess relations with the merchants

THE BIRTH OF A NATION"
Supreme Picture of All Times to
Appear at Community Tomorrow.

Appear at AoAAoAA wv
''The Birth of Nation declared
by the New York Mail to be the "Su-
preme picture Of all times will be
shown at the Community Theatre to-
morrow, matinee and night, and
Judging from the many comments
which have been heard on all sides
by movie patrons, this popular play
lhouse will be crowded for these per-
formances as it has never been be-
fore. Everybody is talking about
the great picture and everybody
wants to see it.
When David w. Griffith started
the outdoor staging of the civil War
and reconstruction scenes in 1.-THE
Birth Of Nation" he was confronted
with seemingly insuperable difficult
tiles. An area OF private war was
required about as large as the cor
ner of Belgium occupied by the An
glo-French forces. Thousands of
calvalrymen had to be shown, in an
historic raid Of the North Carolina
clans. Their run was to be over
many miles of typical southern sandy
reads. Though an acknowledged
wizard. of the films, Mr.. Griffith is
not "war lord" with power to COM
mandeer. -
In this emergency the county au-
thorities of ''The Birth of a Ma
tion' producing locale were applied
to-. They finally consented to mark
off an area of ten square miles for
=, the use of the horsemen. Along all
the roads within this area the county
commissions posted notices forbid
ding all traffic ON the day of days. .
Pedestrians were also warned off.
But the roads themselves did not look
southern. David Griffith handled
this difficulty-with the authorities
permission-by remarking such of
the highways as would come within
the cameras eye. Many tons of
sand and gravel were spread by
gangs of his workmen. Landscape
Engineering changed the look Of the
landscape to the rounded hills,
piney woods and deep gullies Of old
| North State. The race of the north
ern clansmen to rescue their South
Carolina brethren took place on the
appointed day, without an accident
or flaw. After it was over, Mr..
Griffith's men scraped the sand off
the maeadam roads, took down the
signs. and life ins the sleepy country
side resumed it's normal course It
cost about S25,000 to do the trick
| the producer thinks it was worth all
lit cost, particularly after hearing the
enthusiastic comments on "The Birth
of Nation patrons on his work." "

KEEP HORSES OFF SIDEWALKS.

KEEP HORSES OFF SIDEWALKS.
The habit which some persons have
of tying horses to stakes. with long
ropes and permitting them to Craze
on the sidewalks and along the
bitches in this city, is one which
should be stopped at once. Besides
being unsightly in city, and annoy
ing to those who reside in the vicin-
ity, the presence of the animals on
the banquettes is dangerous to pc
destrians and very unsanitary. 1t is
anything but agreeable for persons
to have to get out in the streets in
order to avoid a possible kick from
horse which blocks the way along
the banquette, or to avoid being trip
ped by the rope tied to the ami
mails neck. Moreover the con-
stant tramping of the horses causes
the sides of the cutters to cave in
and become unsightly, and in time
the cutters themselves become clogg-
ed. Horses are not allowed to
roam at large in the streets of the
city, and there is certainly no valid
reason why they should be permit
ted to block the sidewalks to the dis
comfiture of the public.
This matter is of sufficient impor-
tance to merit the immediate atten-.
tion of the authorities.

THE LOCK PROJECT.

The fact that the lock project and
the proposed BAYOU Lafourche water
way to the gulf have again been
turned down by the government
would seem to indicate that insofar
as Uncle Sam is concerned the prop
osition is now dead issue. It is
rather hard to contemplate, however,
that such an important asset as this
would be to thousands of people in
the Lafourche valley to say nothing
of ist Importance to Donaldsonville
from commercial standpoint is to
be abandoned.
To Donaldsonville merchants the
project, if it VENT through, would
mean a revival of trade such as
has not been witnessed in years. 1t
is difficult to estimate what it would
mean in dollars and cents. To the
sugar factories and planters along
the bayou it would mean the same
thing. They would have better faciii-
ties for hadling their products and
it would mean that the railroad that
now supplies them with coal and
other necessities, and carry their pro-
ducts to the markets, would have
competition, which would eventually
result in reduction of freight trans
portation charges.
For such an important undertaking
the expense would be comparatively
small. 1t would mean something like
more, than million dollars to COM
plete, and about $25,OO0 y:ar for
maintenance. This is small compared
with the value 1t would be t. Dor
aldsonville and to the sugar mills and
pl enters along The bayou.

WHEAT. SEEDING PROGRESSES
Central Kansas Just Starting to
Sow

The report Of the State Board of
Agriculture for the week ending
Sept. II shows that the seeding OF
wheat is progressing in eastern
Kansas except where delayed by ex-
cessive moisture. Some seeding Is
also being done in central and south
western Kansas. Recent rains have
been Of much benefit to fall seedlings
of alfalfa. Corn is maturing rapid
ly and much has already been cut
for silage and fodder. Reports that
the harvesting of sorghums has be-
gun have been received from a few
counties in the southeastern and
northcentral portions Of the state.
Meade county reports that cutting
will begin next week. The move
ment of grass fat cattle to market is
slow. In Cowley county some apples
are coming on the market. A large
portion of the prairie hay that will
be- cut is already in the stack. But
Ter county reports that not over 80
per cent of the prairie hay will be
