Plans Shift in Dry
Law Enforcement
Committee Would End Juris-
diction of Treasury De-
partment.

The duty of enforcing prohibition
will be transferred from the Treas
ury Department to the Department
OF Justice, If the recommendations
of the joint committee on govern
ment reorganization are carried
into effect.
The committees plan, according
to Chairman Brown, Is ready for
submission to the President 1t
will place the regulation OF me-
dicinal liquor in the hands of the
Public Health Service. and turn the
task of suppressing law violations
over to the Federal Bureau of In
vestigation, under the Jurisdiction
of the Attorney General.
Chairman Brown explained ,tha,
this change is suggested inasmucI
as the regulation of liquor has a
direct bearing upon the public
health, and since the question OF
revenue has been removed It has no
relationship to the Treasury De-
partment.
The plaf also provides f.j- the

alcoholic beverages now in bonde

same in accordance with the law

Man Of Personal CHARM
Recalling his acquaintance with
the man who is now the head pas.
tor of the Catholic Church, during g
the time he was associated with
the papaI secretariat of state-at
that time only a priest-Archbishop
Bonzano declared that he was a
man of unusual personal charm.
He was called upon to exercise
his Diplomatic powers during the
world war. and responded to the
occasion admirably the papal del
egate said. with Catholics In
practically every country engaged
in the war, in countries which were
engaged on both sides of the con-
hict. he maintained a strict neu-
trality and exerted every EFFORT TO
bring about a cessation OF hostili-
ties.
Long before peace was actually
declared, he made proposals for
peace. and in numerous other ways
assisted in the relief OF peoples who
were rendered destitute by the raw
ages of war.
Urged Relief Movements.
He called upon the Catholics OF
this country and all other countries
to support relief movements for the
peoples of the Near East, Russia,
France and other needy nations
This relief request was never re-
stricted to Catholics alone, but was
intended for all. regardless of creed.
Then. too. as the result of his
leadership and diplomacy, relations,
which in some cases, had been
severed for long periods of years,
were re-established with the Papal
See and France, England. Portugal,
Poland, Czecho-Slovakia, and some
of the South American republics.
His rule as the Bishop Of Rome,
and head of the Catholic Church

deavors have won the acclamation
of statesmen from all parts Of the

Hopeful that the illness from which
Pope Benedict is suffering will not
prove fatal. Archbishop Bonzano re-
fused to comment on the selection

An Echo From the Fair.

An old friend who has it in for the
dengue fever the same as everybody
else is Mr.. e. S. Burt. farm demonstra-
ton agent for the parish. Mr. Burt
was a caller yesterday and we learned
that he is still regretting that he had
the fever at time that prevented him
from making the BOssier Parish dis
play at the State Fair, as is his custom
each year There was an excellent en-
hibit at the Parish Fair. he says, and
he had his heart set on again winning
first place in the exhibit to be made at
the State Fair. However, the parish
did win fifth place-at least to be
proud of--and the purse of $500 should
come in nicely.
There are yet other things about
which Mr.. Burt may boast-and does.
For instance, at the State Fair there
We're eight prizes offered for exhibits of
white dent corn, and the first, second,
fourth, fifth and sixth were taken by
residents of Rossier Parish, in the or
der given: Mr.. j. NJ. Sentell. jr., Mr..
IL. AcAHiAHOAS, MI. W. w 7. SdIlCl, MI.
f. NJ. Latte and DR.. c. II. Irion.
There were five prizes offered for ex-
hibits of yellow dent corn, and first,
second and third places were captured
by Messrs. T.. f. vickers, H. " Henley
and ]. A. Lowe. All this would seem
to indicate that Bossier is still some
corn parish.
3 Also, we found Mr.. Burt enthusiastic
in making reference to the winnings OF
pigs exhibited by Bossier Parish boys
and girls. The junior SOW exhibited
by Elizabeth Smith, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. NJ. Smith, of the Caney
School community, won purses aggre-
eating $3.50. as follows: From the
Parish Fair, $3.50; from the Bank OF
Benton (as a Parish Fair exhibit)
SO; in the Pig Club, So, and in oper
competition at the State Fair. $14

by the pig exhibited by L. c. Coker. jr.
son of Mr.. and Mrs. L. G. Cocker, OF the
Ivan eommnnity,
All the pigs here mentioned are big
boned Poland Chinas, Mr.. Burt said
and urged the Banner to state that Mr.

Benton, is still Offering to fiance any
pig club he can get up in any Bossiel
