SOUTHERN BILLIARDS.,
The Whole South and East Country Gets
"Cold Scald"

The Whole South and East Country Gets
"Cold Scald."
The people of South Dakota always
expect cold weather from the middle
OF January until the first of March
and they usually receive their expect
atiOns. We are prepared for the ex-
treme, however. Stock is protected,
fuel is provided and the comforts of
the family are looked after, so that
about all one has to do is to sit down
or "heave too," as the sailor would
say, and wait until the storm rolls
by" when everybody comes forth full
of hope and energy.
Not so with the people living in the
sO-called "banana BELTS of the coun-
try. They have provided no protec-
tion. Their stock, ir most instances,
is without shelter-their provisions for
warmth both in clothing and with
fires are insufficient. Nor is this all |!
They depend largely on their early
fruits and vegetables for a livlihood
and when a blizzard or freezing spell
catches them it means years of toll
forever lost. Especially is this true
when the fruit trees. full of sap, are
frozen, as the warm weather following
the cold sours the sap and the trees
are afflicted with black heart, as the
following from Jacksonville, Florida,
gives evidence:
''As a consequence of the storm,
orange and other fruit trees are prob
ably all killed. The loss will aggre-
gate many millions Of dollars. The
average life of a tree is thirty years,
which means fully twenty prospective
crops for trees now beginning to bear.
All early vegetables and 10000 boxes
of strawberries which would have been
shipped from February 25 to March 20
were destroyed today. The plants are
also ruined. There will probably be
no early strawberries from Florida
this season. The prediction for to-
night is for still lower temperature
over the entire southern peninsula"
A dispatch of same date from
Charleston, S. c., reports: "With one
exception this is the coldest day here
in twenty-fOur years. Only about one
fourth of an inch of snow fell. The
wind ranged from 40 to 46 miles an
hour"

THE BARRIERS ASSOCIATION,
BYLAWS FOR THE GOVERNMENT
OF THE ORGANIZATION ARE
ADOPTED.
GETTING READY FOR THE BALL ON
APRIL 18-A GOOD WORD FOX
THE "CALL."

There was a large attendance at the
meeting of the BARRIERS Association last
night in Foresters' Hall.
The committee on bylaws presented its
report, and with the exception of one
of the organization.
The committee recommended that all
members should pay dues on the first of
each month, and that unless dues were so
PAL the defaulting mem Der should be con-
sidered not in good standing and be de-
prived of the benefits the association offers,
one of which is that those in good stand
ing can secure situations though the en-
ployment secretary.
This led to spirited debate, in which
many took part, the majority holding that
members should be allowed two months
time before being declared not in good
standing.
A substitute embodying this idea was
presented by Vice-President Harmon and
adopted by an almost unanimous vote.
Mr.. Aubertine drew attention to the fact
that the time for the ball to be given for
the benefit of the union was drawing near,
and that every member ought to do his ut
most to dispose of tickets, for the money
to be obtained from that source would go
far toward placing the association on a
substantial basis.
Inc pail Will De given III DID. hdll on
the night of the 18th of April, and every
member was urged to use his power of
speech to induce customers who visit the
shops to purchase at least one ticket.
From the reports of the committee of ar
rangements, up to date, it appears that the
affair will be very enjoyable.
The employment secretary t9y reported the the
members during the week and announced
that twelve candidates for membership
had been elected.
Fred J. Breitevisch, the treasurer, stated
that he wished to call the attention of the
association to one matter. "You have no
doubt all noticed, said he, "that the San
Francisco CALL, the coming paper of this
city and State. has been very kind to our
association. 1t has devoted great deal of
space to our meetings to help us along,
and it is only right that we should recog-
nize its good work by becoming patrons of
it,"
His remaks were received with much
applause.
