ACVEll AT BATON R9UGE Legislative matters of interest to cotton producers, are progres ng fav orably in Baton Rouge. The ost im portant measure at this tim is the pink boll worm control bill, which was drawn up by the legislative com mittee of the Louisiana division, and turned over to Governor Parker for his consideration before being, intro duced in the house. This measure creates a commission composed of the commissioners of agriculture, the dean of the state agricultural college the di rector of extension, and two cotton producers to be named by the gover nor, who will have charge of the con trol work, and to compensate the firm ers of Cameron parish who cannot pro duce any other crops. It provided for $20,000 for the curent year and $i50, 000 for the following year. Secretary of Agriculture Meredith being unable to attend the Texas' leg islative session, sent a message which was read to both houses by Dr. C. L. Marlett, chairman of the Federal Hort icultural Board, in which he gave the history of the ravages of the pink! worm, and strongly urged the Texans to carry out the agreement entered in to in Washington. He warned them that a failure to apply the necessary measures to eradicate the pest, would result in the Federal government tak ing such steps as were deemed neces sary to protect the remainder of the cotton crop of the South from the menace. The Texas legislature has created two committee to handle the prelimin ary work, one to investigate the exis tence and ravages of the pink worm, and the other to meet with Federal Horticultural Board, which is in Aus tin in a body, and devise some meas ures of restriction. The farmers from South Texas are trying to prevent the establishment of non-octton zone and have sent attorneys to Austin to urge that view. The pink boll worm film preparid by the Department of Agriculture, has been received by the Louisiana Divi sion, and will be shown to the mem bers of the Legislature during the week. After that, it will be shown all over the state, in connection with a showing of the film of the dock board- which portrays the cotton ware bouse, grate elevator and other-port facilities in action. Chairman W. B. Thompson, national director, G. W. Hardy, and Campaign Director T. J. Appleyard, have gone to Atlanta to attend the meting of the national executive committee and the national finance committee of the American Cotton Association.

Say He Used Marked Cards New York.-During the trial in a New York court of Louis Krohnberg a hirt manufacturer, who is charge with obtaining money in a game of chance by fraud, a stud poker game with marked cards was reproduced. Two hands from a deck, which is al leged to have come from the Krohn berg home, were laid before the magis rate by one of the half-dozen com lainants. These proved to have shad ings on the design on the backs, which indicated the nature of the cards. The complainants say Krohnberg won $5, wlt l l HERONS CLING TO OLD HOMES Their Dwelling in Rotterdam Invaded They Take Refuge in City's Zoological Gardens The gray herons of Rotterdam, fa miliars of the city for centuries, have gradually, according to a correspond ent of the Times of London, been pushed out of their old territories to make way for the growth of the port. The waters had been gathered nto canals, the spaces began to dry and little by little new streets built on piles invaded the heron ground. Her ons, unlike storks, do not take to the dwellings of men, but they cling desperately to their nesting places, the elms and the willows of the boule vards. Finally ousted, they preseed but one refuge and that the Zoological gardens, which in 1857 was establish ed on one of the reclaimed areas. Some of the herons were put in an aviary and some of the wild ones, watching the pproceeding set up house in the elms close by. And so it cae about that Rotterdam Zoological gar dens can proudly lay claim to a nat ural heronry in their gardens. But since 1857 Rotterdam has grown, and the parent birds have now four miles to fly to reach the waters for food for their nestlings. They cover the distance by day and night over the tramways, railways, and the noise and smoke of a city, the return to the nest marked by the usual outburst of welcoming cries from the voracious young. Laundry Marks in Europe Laundry marks vary greatly in Eu rope. Those used in England consist of certain small letters or figures stitched in red thread. In some parts of France linen is defaced hy having the whole name and address of the laundry stamped upon it ,and an addi tional geomdhtical design to indicate the owner. In Batavia every piece has a number stamped on it in large let ters. In other parts of Germany a small cotton label is attached by means of a hot water-proof adhesive. In Bulgaria each laundry has a large number of stamps engraved with de signs, and in Russia the laundries mark linen with threads ,worked in arrow shape. In some Russian towns the police periodically tissue regula tions for laundries, while in Odessa books pf mars are furnished annually to th lai proprirs, and th marks and no other may be used. By this system criminals and revolution ary agitators are often traced. Law-Abiding Chinese In China, the oldent, largest and most densely populated nation in the world, there are no policemen except in the foreign compounds of the Chinese cities. The heed of a family is expected to keep order in that family and every inhabitant of a cy is jointly responsible with every oth er citizen for its tranquility. The Chinese are essentially a law-abiding and lawobserving peopple for that reason. If a younger son in a family should commit a crime the older son is likely to be taken into custody for the offense. For some crimes, such SOULE COLLEGE " PONW O LKAN& LA.
