TO BEAT BOIL WEEVIL.

A man whose lands can be con-
verted to rice culture is certainly a
very short-sighted individual, if he
can make the change and doesn't
do so, in the face of what the boil
weevil have done with this cotton
crop. This has been the banner
boil weevil year, for this year they
have had the most to work on.
Level lands with sub-soil should be
put under rice culture with wells to
supply the irrigation. Victoria,
Jackson, Wharton and Colorado
counties have thoroughly establish
ed the efficiency of we'll irrigation
for rice with the magnificent crops
there growing this year-Cuero
Star.

NO LANGUAGE OF THEIR OWN.
Swiss Are the Only People Who Can
Not Boast a Distinctive Tongue.

SWISS Are the only People VINO Can
Not Boast a Distinctive Tongue.
Among the peoples of the world the
Swiss are alone in having no language
they can call their own. According TO
a recent visitor 20 the little country,
about three-fourths of the people of
Switzerland speak German while the
remainder divide four other languages
among them, mainly French and Ital-
ian, the languages varying as a rule
according 10 the proximity of the peo-
pie to each country whose tongue they
speak Public documents and no.
tees are printed in both French and
German.
In the Swiss congress or national
parliament the members make their
speeches either in French or German,
for nearly all the members understand
both languages. The orders of the
president are translated by an official
interpreter and furnished to the news
papers in both languages. Probably
it would puzzle even Macaulay's
learned schoolboy to name the presi.
dent of the Swiss republic. He is NJ.
Adolf Deucher, a name that wall be
strange to many even of those who are
familiar with the names and titles of
every other European ruler.
