PEST OF SQUIRRELS.
California Farmers Will Spread Dis
 ease bv Inoculation.

The farmers of Contra Costa county have hit upon a new plan to get rid of the squirrel, says a special from Berk- ley. 10 the Chicago Inter Ocean. and Board of Supervisors. have appealed to the University of California to aId them. Supervisors Etowe and Tormey called at the College of Agriculture to-day in their capacity as committeeman repre- senting the farmers and presented the new scheme. which will receive the backing of the university.
 It consists of Ine spreading of a plague that already exists among the squirrels by artificial inoculation. The farmers of Contra Costa County have lately discovered that the squirrels have been dying off from some new disease which has attacked them. But the pests have not been dying fast enough to please the farmers who think they have found a way to assist the disease.
 Some bright mind recently suggested that the malady might be spread by cap uring a few of the diseased animals, ex- tracting tho plague germs. and inocu- latinS hundreds Of others, which would m turn infect those among which they re turned loose. The plan seems to be . perfectly feasible one and may solve he problem of the squirrel pest, winch has annoyed farmers for a long time in California.

and profitable industries at home. The fact is. home industries are the most profitable of all industries. They not only feed labor, but they leave dividends at home''
 This does not leave anything to be said. Talladega has three cotton mills. all It's own. and all doing we'll, and now IL IS preparing to establish three fac- tories beionging to other industrial lines. The industrial spirit permeates Talia- dega' and it knows the value of mills, both in the respect of general prosper ny and in the respect of dividends dis persed at home. If every Alabama town containing less than 10000 people would send a commission to study the Talla- dega situation. a great industrial devel- opment throughout the State would soon follow. What Talladega has done every other county, town or trade center could do and pilgrimages to Talladega should become an Alabama fashion. Talladega knows how to build mills on the instali- ment plan, and that plan is capable of great extension in this State.

 For the first time in the history of war plays, we are promised q true story of Southern chivaIry, where the Con federcy dominates through out, and where "honor is given to whom honor Is due, in the approaching presentation of George W. Cables fascinating Southern romance, "The Cavalier" dra matiZed by Paul Hester and George Middleton, and offered under the management of Wallace Munro, who has given us. in the past many good attractions. In the presentation of '"The Cavalier" MT. Munro has had the per sonal assistance of MT. Cable, in secur- ing the atmosphere and spirit of the old Southland that he depicts SD lovingly and graphically in all his books. All the poetry and picturesqueness of "The Cavalier" have been preserved in the play. It Is the most dramatic of his stories, abounding in string action ani interest compelling situations. And 1t has comedy. too! Comedy in plenty! in fact the play really belongs to the class of comedy drama. It is unique in that it treats of war time from the Southern standpoint. There have been many plays of late years with a prepOnderance of Northern sentiment; they have had an occasional uniform of gray, but the boys in blue have been in the ma ajorlty. and the centre of the stage was always shared by one of the latter and his sweet heart. Tn ''The Cavalier" the gray has its first full theatrical opportunity. While war is the background, there is no smoke nor din of battle to harrow the senses It is a love story. delightful and original with the shadow of war merely making the sunlight of romance much brighter and happier.
