MOSQUITOES FOUR FEET LONG
The Well-knOwn "New Jersey Breed
Startlc the Frcnchman.

New York. September 13.-That
mosquitoes four feet long and two
feet high abound In the United States
will without doubt shortly be report
ed from France. indeed, the mos
quito OF New Jersey Is In q fair way
to achieve international fame, thanks
to the assistance of some wag during
the visit to the city this week Of the
international Congress of Zoology.
Naturally such an august body as the
congress made haste to visit the
American Museum Of Natural His
tory here, and naturally, it's foreign
uambers were astonished to see in
mat institution mosquitoes as large
as calves with the sign above them
STUFFED Specimens Captured I'm New
Jersey. The discovery OF those gil
gantic insects by one OF the foreign
ers was the signal for q general
gathering and many notes we're
taken which will doubtless later aD-
pear in france telling OF the enorm-
Gus size rcachd by the New Jersey
variety OF mosquito. The Insects
which excited so much attention are,
OF course. only wax models which
have been magnifcd scores of times
and dire are the threats which are
made against the person who at
tempted the deception. should he be
discovered. The models in question,
however, have taken two years to
construct and are so natural in every
detail that only their size distin-
sutshes them from the genuine arti-
cle> To foreigner. Of course, with
no means of knowing whether or not
the exaggerated stories concerning
New Jersey mosquitoes are true. the
deception was not impossible.

The National Meeting at Little Rock.

1 Has, tue iOuTu uaClOnal meeting
OF the Farmers Educational and Co
operative Union of America, is be-
yond doubt the most determined and
successful organization or farmers for
business purposes that has ever ex-
listed
These men that have assembled
here represent class OF business
farmers that have met face to face
for what is perhaps the hardest prop
osition that has ever confronted the
South, viz: Naming minimum prices
for her great staple crop--cotton--
and have been out three times In sue
cession.
These men OF the cotton fields of
the South who have toiled and pro-
duced this great wealth-producing
staple FOR 10, these many years and
been forced to take what others have
chosen to give them as the farmers
| share of the wealth that he has pro-
duced, have met these hard facts Of
this situation and solved this problem
not only satisfactorily to the growers
Of cotton, but likewise satisfactorily to
the great majority of all our people
| in the South engaged In o.her occu-
pations as we'll.
These farmers that are here and
| there in Little Rock have a kind Of
| confident and determined look about
them that only those that have work
ed long and fought hard can appreci-
ate. These men of the farms know
| the value Of the victory that they
have won for themselves and the hor-
rors that and 6 cents cotton
brought to the farmers as we'll as
others of the South before the pres
ent farmers movement was inaugu-
rated.
These men here at Little Rock rep
| resent the men who grow and own
millions Of bales Of cotton and own
| and control over one thousand ware
houses to take care of their own cot
ton, and besides they have enough
means Of their own and the friendly
relations of others engaged in other
occupations to hold their cotton for
reasonable prices and get it.
These estimates and prices acted
upon In this meeting are made up
| from local unions scattered all over
the South. The number Of these

WORK FOR CANTEENS

Argue That They Would Minimize De-

Urge Congress Action.

NEW YORK. Dec. 1.-THE Army
Canteen Association has just formed
In New York for the purpose of work
ing for the reestablishment of the can
teen at army posts. The association
will be Incorporated and will use its
efforts to induce Congress to repeal the
law forbidding the sale of beer and
light wines at army posts.
Henry P. Fry, a lawyer, and leading
spirit in the new association. has this
to say about It: The abolition of the
canteen is conceded by military men
of long experience to have been one
of the most unwise movements ever
put into effect by Congress. It is re-
sopnslble in a large measure for the
present depicted condition of the ranks
today. This is the opinion of Cen
eral j.. Franklin Bell, chief of staff
of the army; General George B. Loud.
of New York. president of the Third
Massachusetts Cavalry Association.
and Secretary Taft, and is embodied in
all the reports of the commanding gen.
erals of the various departments of the
United States army. These include
General Greedy. commanding the De-
partment of the Columbia: General
Grant. commanding the Department of
the East: General Frederick Funston,
commander of the Department Of Cali
fornia. and the judge advocate OF the
army.
Practical students of military life
say without a dissenting voice that the
restoration of the canteen is actually
necessary to minimize desertion and
encourage enlistment"
