Notice of Appeal Will be Filed

st. Paul, Mimi, April 11.-Judge
Young, attorney here for the Northern
Securities Company, stated today that
the notice of appeal in the government
injunction case will not be filed until
Monday. It was expected that the ap-
peal would be filed today, but the de-

Mr.. Dan DeBlanc sent to this
Office this week specimens of his
setsuma oranges grown on his
orange grove at Catahoula. He
has nearly three hundred trees
that we're planted two years ago.
and a large number of them have
q few fruit this year. Last year
the land on which the trees are
planted was covered with a few
inches of water, and instead of
proving injurious to the trees, it
was of great benefit, as the trees
grew wonderfully, and those that
had most water, show q more Vi
gorous growth. We are inclined
to believe that the Cstahoula sec.
ton will prove to be an ideal place
for orange cultivation.

Cotton is undoubtedly one of our
best and most profitable crops. it
is a crop that any poor man can
undertake to cultivate without any
expense, dollar or two in seed is
all a farmer needs to undertake q
q crop of cotton. and it is one of
the best crops for the country in
general, and it is a crop that is
unlike cane and rice subject at all
times to be disturbed by recipro-
city treaty or tariff tinkering.
Cotton is . crop that should al
ways be grown in Louisiana. even
the cane and rice farmers. when
possible, should diversity their
crops by plsnting few acres Of
cotton.
This year our cane and rice
crops are very short. even cotton
is short, bat the price of this sta
pie is very high. and as it is a
crop that is grown without ex-
pense, it is always q profitable
crop.
For these reasons. We believe
the people of Louisiana should
make every effort to keep the wee.
! vii pest outside of the limits of the
state, if such q thing is possible.
We would urge the President Of
the Police Jury, who is himself,
one of our largest and best, and
most successful cotton planters to
attend the convention, aud to ap-
point delegation of men who are
seriously interested in successful
growing of cotton in this parish.
Our Mayor should also attend this
convention and appoint delegates,
because the convention has to be
q representative one to induce the
Governor to call q special session
of the Legislature to induce the
state legislature to make an appro'
priation necessary to inaugurate q
campaign of obstruction against
this pest.

Letters From The People.

Mr.. Editor:
It seems impossible that all the
assertions made by the Review. in
regard to the Grand Jury. are cor
rect, because from the knowledge
of the writer of the personnel"
of that Hon. body, be knows pos
itively that these gentlemen would
not willfully close their eyes to
any infraction of the law, no mat
ter by whom perpetrated.
The only solution to the prob
lem is that the matter was not
properly presented to that body.
Because one need not be Socra-
ties or any kind of philosopher
or lawyer to know that the Sheriff
failed to comply with the law,
through ignorance or negligence,
but we do not believe with intent
to dsfraud, but nevertheless, he
failed to file the poll list, in the
Clerks Office, on the 10th of Janu-
airy, as required by law enacted
by his own people, (people OF the
machise, and according to that
Ian he. ia liable TO q fine of $500,
which money goes to the schools.
Now MIR. Editor, the law knows
no ienorapc, the law knows no
neglect, no machine, the law
ought to rule the land, the politi-
cal machine, the body polite, and
the people, until the people re-
Deal that law. But no sets OF in.
dividuals or coterie If politicians
ought to be able to suspend the
law, to further their own political
interest and to blind the people.
It is Q surprise. to us, Mr.. Ed.
tor, that the great political refor'
mer of the Parish of St. Martin
that man who four years ago stood
for all that was great and good
that man who went on the hus
tings and preached political re-
form, good roads, better fnances
in the parish funds and ell ths
money the school board could no
nestly lay hands on. 1t is up t.
him. Let him see that the matter
is investigated which is an easy

Cost of Clothes In Russia.

Barring the inhabitants Of the
earth who wear practically no
clothes at all, the costume of the
average Russian costs the least. Ten
rubles, or about $3.50, will clothe a
male citizen of the czar's realm,
while the woman's costume will cost
less than So. The mans costume is
coarse cotton trousers tucked into
boots of half dressed leather, a cot
ton shirt and sheepskin coat. A
coarse camlet caftan bound around
with a sash completes the dress.
The women wear a sarafan, or long
petticoat, which is held up by straps
running over the shoulders, a che
mise with sleeves to the elbow, a
kerchief over the head and a pair Of
shoes. Stockings are sometimes
worn, but more frequently the legs
and feet are bound with strips Of
cotton or linen cloth. For outdoor
wear quilted jacket or long cloak
is added. The simplicity and cheap
ness of dress are not due to any lack
of vanity, but to the poor circum-
stances under which the majority of
the Russians live.

whether contemplating attendance
on the convention or not, should cor
respond with Epworth League.

History of a Phrase.

The phrase S'robbing Peter to
pay Paul" is supposed to have orig
mated in an incident which occur
red in London during the sixteenth
century. About the year 1910 the
Abbey of st. Peter in Westminster
was elevated to the dignity of a
cathedral, but ten years later was
again joined to the diocese of Lon
don and its property appropriated to
pay the expenses Of some necessary
repairs to the Cathedral of st. Paul.
It was evident that to do honor to
st. Paul the estate of Peter had to
suffer, and hence the expression
which has become proverbial.

ing few weeks on NaIragansett
Bay, put in a bottle of Chamberlin's
Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy
for emergency use. The second day
in camp his little boy was taken with
cramp collie. The first dose of this
remedy gave relief and the second
dose effected cure. Think OF the
pain and suffering this boy would
have had to endure without this
remedy at hand to relieve him. Such
cases often result fatally. For sale

Would Be Animal Keepers.
One aspirant to the position OF

he see a visitor burn an animal with
a lighted cigar, replied courteously,
but ambiguously, Il would show
him the greatest possible attention,
at the same time avoid as much as
possible entering into unnecessary
conversation with any one" Asked
what should be done if a tiger re-
fused for two days to take his food,
the same candidate revealed dou-
BILE standard Of manners. ''Use
harsh, violent, coarse and insolent
language at him." he said, (which
has a tendency of making him

To the pertinent and not too aca-
demic question, ''What kind Of food
is given to birds of prey in captivi-
ty?" a cautious applicant replied,
''The latter" To the more abstruse
question, ''What markN diffe Ance
is there between animals exhibited
at circus and those exhibited at
city menagerie? ?" this comprehen-
sive reply was given: ''The city tells
the names Of the animals by a sign.
To the question, .:'What common
form of physic is employed in cir
Gus or menagerie? came the star

sionally candidate is gifted with
