out of the South, it was decided to
call meeting of representatives from
all the Southern States
Mr.. j. G. Pugh, chairman of the
executive committee, has written Gov.
Hayward, urging the latter to attend
the convention and asking him to ap-
point 100 delegates from this State.
\ Grave State of Affairs.
In his letter to Gov. Hayward, Mr..
Pugh says IAN alarming phase of
the weevil situation is that the cotton
producing States yet uninterested do
not appreciate the certainty of the
weevil's reaching the entire cotton
area Of the United States and the con-
sequences resulting, unless something
is done, and done at once, to antlcl-
pate this infestation or devise means
for the absolute determination of the
weevil from the present infested cot
ton lands of Texas and Louisiana.
1--WE therefore beg of you as the
executive IGdu OIIICIdl anu ItDItSCll-
tatiVe of your commonwealth that you
appoint 100 delegates, representing
your varied cotton interests to attend
the National Cotton convention to be
held in the city of Shreveport, La,
December IL, 13, IA and Is, 1904.
Please urge and emphasize the Sc
robustness of the situation and the ne
cesisty of a. general awakening of
every cotton interest throughout the
South as the boil weevil is spreading
at the alarming rate of over so mile
each year and on the authority of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture will in ten or fifteen years in
wade the entire cotton belt
THE problem is national and inter-
national in it's Importance and is be-
yond the power of individual and in
dependent State action to solve, no
matter how determined and well di-
rected the individual State efforts may
be.
Relying upon you as the patriotic
head of your State to lead in the ef
ofrt to make this National Cotton con-
gress the beginning of campaign
against the cotton boil weevil, that
shall end in retaining for the United
States her present position in the cot
ton growing countries of the world we
urge you to give this serious and i'm

NEW ZEALAND's RABBITS.
Formerly a Pest, Now a Source OF
Revenue-$SO5,OOO Worth
Shipped Last Year.

Rabbits, which have been the pest of
Australia and New Zealand for many
years, have now become source of large
revenue. Frozen rabbits to the value
of over $805, 900 were exported from Vic
toria, New Zealand, last year, in addi-
ton to $4,000 worth Of preserved rab-
bits. This business is daily increasing.
Now that the trapping industry is such
an important one, employing as it does
several thousand hands. and is largely
effective In keeping the rabbit pest in
check, the chances are that the meth
/ DDS of compulsory suppression now en-
forced on landholders will at least be
moderated by the government.
The rabbits in Australia and New
Zealand were originally shipped from
England, and it is almost impossible to
keep them out of the cattle ranches.
Fences have been built around these
vast stations with wire netting sunk
IL inches below the surface to prevent
the rabbits from getting inside, but as
soon as grass becomes short on the
outside, "Mr. Bunnie" will burrow I'M
der the wire netting and eat up the grass
On the inside.
Rabbits in this country rarely burrow,
but are to be found in stumps of trees
| and under fallen timber. In and about
Chicago, where land is divided for build
Ing purposes, rabbits make their homes
ander the wooden sidewalks, and can
be easily turned out by good dog.
Such, however. is not the habit OF the
Australian pest.

BECOME LIKE THE INDIANS,
White Children In Oklahoma Initiate
Their Red-Skinned PIaymateE-
A Teachers Difficulties,

The first public school at the Red
Store, frontier Indian trading post,
In Oklahoma, as old as the military post
of Fort Sill itself, has revealed the fact
that white children through association
with Indian children have taken on far
more OF the customs, manners and
speech of the Indians than the latter
have of their white playmates.
Nearly all the white children of the dis
trict have been reared among the Indi-
ans, associating with them and attend
ing school with them. They have
learned to paint their cheeks, put feath-
ers in their hair, wear gaudy sashes and
brass finger rings and earrings and shoot
the arrow to the mark. @
Now that district school has been
established the teacher has met the
greatest difficulty of her life in teaching
these little Indians the ways of ciyiliza-
ton. They have the highest regard
for authority, having had it instilled
by mission teachers in the Indian
school they have attended, but they
Insist on preserving the Indian Gus
toms.
They read their lessons aloud In
studying as they were taught to do in
the mission school. They do many
things obnoxious to the district teach
er, who is seeking their reform, and
they almost absolutely refuse to de-
part from the customs they have
learned.

CAR WANTS SHIP CANAL.
Project to Connect the Black Sea
with the Baltic by the Means OF
Long Artificial Ditch.


The car has approved a gigantic
project for canal to connect the Black
sea with the Baltic. The course will
be 1890 miles long and the cost is esti-
mated at S40,000,000.
The plan is to follow the Dwina river
until near the swamps at its headwaters,
then dig through the forests of Minsk
until the headwaters of the Dnieper are
reached
1t will be far greater undertaking
than was the Baltic canal dug by Ger
many, but the reasons for it are sim
liar.
The principal object talked about is
to develop trade and save the enormous
cost Of shipping over the roundabout
way through the North sea, Atlantic
and Mediterranean.
But the main thing the Russian gov
eminent has in mind is to be able to
call into use, in Just such emergencies as
the dispute with Japan, the Black sea
aeet, which now is practically impris-
oned by Turkey's control OF the only out
let through the Dardanelles.

You Get Fruit.

The restaurants of every city have
their own peculiarities in respect TO
the dishes which they furnish a GUS
toner free, regardless Of what is or
edered. Some are known for their gem
crosby and others for their stinginess.
Every restaurant has its so-called free
list, and this varies in the different
cities according to the cost at which
extras may be given. In San Fran
cisco it is the custom to offer q
diner plate Of shrimps. although his
order may call for no heavier meal
than coffee and toast In New York
potatoes are on the free list, and
sometimes plate of bread. Restaur-
ant patrons at Washington receive
extras in the way Of fruit, according
to its season, but in Boston the diner
pays more completely for everything
he eats than is exacted In any other
city in the country. The apples which
are free in Washington restaurant
he must pay for here, says the Boston
Advertiser; the plate of bread which
is unchanged in New York Is placed
on his bill for five cents, and his pota-
toes, which are the only exception to
the general rule, are gratis only with
good sized orders.
Boston restaurant men explain the
existing situation in the fact that they
purchase the best quality OF goods to
be found, and that the free list in
other cities always consists of food
that cost the restaurant proprietor
practically nothing. The Boston man
pays for all that he gets, but the
fact that dyspepsia is less prevalent
here than in other cities should make
the restaurant diner happy with his

The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1904-04-29

Judging from reports which persist in
leaking out there are but few of the
bonds which have so far been submitted
by local saloon keepers which have been
able to secure the recommendation Of
the council committee on bonds that
they be accepted. Unless some saloon
keepers do considerable more hustling
than they seem capable of there will be
few vacant stores about the city in
locations where saloons are fourishing
now. And while the matter is up for
discussion it may be said that Owosso
can well spare good number of her
saloons-and this, too, without casting
any slurs on the individual saloon own
ers of the city some of whom are better
citizens than many of their bitterest
enemies.
