The unknown tramp went his way, little dreaming of the
wonderful blessing he had bestowed upon the world. His
"patient," however, determined to offer to the whole world the
benefits of the secret which had so happily come to him.
The sufferer was Mr. G. D. Horton, of Singer, Louisiana,
founder of the Hobo Medicine Manufacturing Company.
The wild herb of the piney woods of Louisiana is now
under cultivation upon several farms. The fame of the
medicine itself has spread to the ends of the nation. Thou

To Whom This May Concern:
I have had kidney trouble nearly all my ie. Hatried
all kinds of kidney medicine and many good doctors have
treated me, but never received any permanent relief.
In October, 1514, I was persuaded to take Hobo Kidney
and Bladder Remedy. I took eight bottles and today I believe
I am permanently cured! I will always keep "Hobo" in my

prison make nor iron bars a cage."
Miss Fairchild, according to the

and deadly weapons. She first ob

Some four years ago Miss Fairchild,
then principal of a school in New
York City, decided to take up prison
welfare work as a relief from the
routine of the schoolroom. She select
ed Sing Sing as the field for her op
erations. On her very fist visit she
met Hoppe. She became interested
in his case and felt certain he would
make an excellent citizen, if he had a
chance. She went before Judge Rosal
sky, who had sentenced Hoppe, and
then carried her plea to Governor
Whitman. Hoppe was paroled.
Three years have elapsed since Miss

Ala., made what is said to have been
one hundred and eightieth escape from

a specialty of freeing himself from
handcuffs and other restraints. She

times and that he never had been m
prisoned successfully longer than two
months.
Dickerson's cell-mate was found
asleep after the escape. He told the
guards he had not heard Dickerson's
movements.

COTION ASSN. 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. One of
the important matters to be considered
Is the report of the special Committee
on co-operative marketing, headed by
Dr. D. S. Murph, which framed a prac
tical plan for this great work at the
meeting in Memphis, May 17.

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
