loupes shipped from Glendale had just been disposed of and brought the following prices:
 Standards, $50 per crate; Ponies. .S2.5O per crate; Jumbos in Standard crates, $500 per crate.
 And this to close up the season! It shows that the cantalOupe grow CTS should not be discouraged when things go against them temporarily. The market for any produce is liable to break at any time, but it is also very apt to recover with equal sud- denness.. The grower who kept right along shipping when there was no profit in it. was there when the profit taking time begun. It is un- derstood there were many of the lcantaloupe patches of the valley de serted just as soon as the price drop ped and that there are fields that today would still furnish good ship ping melons in considerable quantity had they been given the proper care It is only one more point the local growers must keep in mind if they wish to make the best success of the business another year.

At 10 a. m. received orders to go on board. At D. m. repaired on board. and reported myself to Lieu tenant Ludlow, commanding officer. At p. m., Mir. Ludlow gave me the command of the main top; at 8 a. m. it began to blow severe, sent down royal and top gallants yards. At 10 D. m. beat to quarters. and saw every thing ready for action.
 First day of June. 1913, commenced with pleasant weather. At 6 a. m. sent up the top gallant yards, and royal yards, at 8 a. m. a large ship being discovered in the offing, Capt. Lawrence sent down a tender to see what she was, and which proving to be his majesty's frigate shannon, we cleared the ship for action. At II a. m. unmoOred the ship and got under way in a very gallant style to meet the foe, with the motto at the brow, Sailors Rights and Free Trade The Shannon was in sight, standing off with the top gallant sails taut at half past four, then within four miles we fired the bow gun at her As soon as we fired the Shannon hove her main topsail aback and took in the topgaitsail; at five sent down the royal yards, and took in the studding sails; at five minutes past five, being within a mile and q half took in our mainsail and jib; at twenty-five minutes past five took in our foresail and brailed up our Spanker; the ship was under her three topsails and fore tops mast stay sail: at a quarter before six having come within half pistol shot. the shan non began the engagement by the af- termast gun on the main deck, which was answered by a broadside from the Chesapeake. The fire was kept up for about twelve minutes, when finding we were falling aboard the Shannon hay ing come up to the wind, owing to the foretop mast stay sail sheets being shot away and no head sail on the ship, the the captain ordered the jib to be hoisted. but the down haul being en- tangled and MT. White, the sailing master having been killed by the first broadside, it could not be set. He then ordered the fore tack to be hauled abroad and the mizZen top sail to be shivered, the last of which was done, but the bunt and fetch lines being foul. it could not be done before. We were boarded by the enemy on the larbOard quarter. About this time the Chesapeake having shot rather ahead. was caught by one of the Shannons anchors, and lay oblique athwart our starboard bow, exposed to a most tre- mendous fire from the Shannons after guns, which battering our lee quarter and entering our port holes, from thence towards the main mast. strew- ed our main deck with killed and wounded. Finding the enemy intend ed to board us, Captain Lawrence ordered the boarders to be called away, but owing to the confusion it was not done. and Lieut.. Ludlow and the other officers went to the respec- tive divisions on the gun deck to send the men up. previously to their board ing Capt. Lawrence was carried be- low dangerously wounded (since deaO.

A New Break

Shreveport, La, June 16. All plan
tations in Bayou Pierre bottom fell
prey to the flood this evening at 6
o'clock this evening. The levee at
Lucas, in Caddo parish, eleven miles
below Shreveport, broke, letting the
water over Leonard, Smith, Pugh and
all plantations in Bayou Pierre swamp.
While the disaster is not so great as
that caused by the Taylortown break,
the food will cover a large area, and
is the second hardest blow struck at
the farmers of North Louisiana by
the flood.
Governor Blanchard, who was at
Lucas when the break occurred, said
last night the levee had been in dan
ger for several days. The Texas and
Pacific Railroad had large force of
men at work under Mr.. Harrison, try
ing to save the embankment. 1t was
hoped when the Taylortown levee
broke the relief felt all along the
river would tighten the strain at Lu-
cas-.
However, the water from the Dixie
Plantation break came along the levee
in the rear. This left the food fight
ers without room in which to work.
Water being on both sides.
The levee broke at 6 o'clock. In a
few minutes a crevasse forty feet
wide was cut through the embank-
ment. Through this current came
with terrific force, and all hope of
closing the gap was abandoned.
Boats were telephoned for and
several wagonloads of light craft
were sent to the scene by DR.. J. Ash
ton Blanchard.
For the past six days, with grim
regularity, the flood has each day
claimed another levee. Six have al
ready fallen: Douglas Island, Free
State, Westdale, Dixie Plantation,
Taylortown and Lucas. It is esti-
mated that nearly $50, 600 acres in
this immediate vicinity have already
been submerged.

Hello from New Orleans


Further provisions for relieving flood
sufferers in Concordia parish were
made by the New Orleans permanent
relief committee Monday morning,
when that body made arrangements
to look after the wants of 2407 per-
sons at ten small landings in the Black
river section. Large quantities of
supplies for these sufferers left New
Orleans Wednesday evening on the
steamboat Columbia, and will be dis
tributed at places designated by the
relief committee. Monterey Landing,
Armargh, Eva, Sevena, Lum, New
Era, Acme, Island Bayou, Palmetto
Landing and Willow Grove Landing
are the places to which the supplies
will be shipped, and at each place the
provisions will be given over to COM
mittee of three men for distribution.
It is believed this load of supplies will
be sufficient for the immediate needs
of the sufferers.
Though the committee had not fully
determined exactly what to send,
5000 pounds of dry salt shoulder, sc
barrels of meal, 10 half-barrels Of
molasses and other sustenances of this
character will be taken by the CoIum,
bia. The situation will be watched
closely and everything possible vii
be done to alleviate the suffering,
Letters received by the committee
and information from other sources
showed that there was much destitu
ton among those unfortunates rem
dered homeless by the floods in the
Mississippi Red and Black Rivers
and it was pointed out that substan
tial relief was necessary.

Company's road, and it is stated that
they are now provisioned for three

in need of aid will be given attention
and the iudicious and equitable dis
tribution of supplies undertaken by
Mr.. Blum and his committee will con-
tinue. A letter from Jchn S. Boat
ner, district judge at Vidalia, La,
which was received yesterday, states
that the situation in Concordia is acute

Provisions and NeCessa-
ries Being Shipped
From New Orleans

Shreveport, La, June Is. The levee
at Taylortown, fourteen miles south
of Shreveport, on the east bank of
Red river, broke at o'clock this
morning, and tonight the southern
portion of Bossier Parish, comprising
territory of approximately 100000
acres, is flooded.
There has been no loss of life, but
hundreds of negroes are homeless and
the damage cannot be estimated.
w. F. Taylor, one of the largest
planters in Northwest Louisiana,
places the number of acres of growing
crops destroyed at $4,000.
AS the britical condition of the levee
has been known several days, it is be-
lieved all live stock has been removed
to places of safety.
Gazing banks was the cause of the
disaster. The danger first appeared
week ago, and large force of men
and teams was rushed to the scene to
build temporary levee. This was
completed when the original levee
caved into the river, but it was soon
apparent that a third embankment
must be thrown up, and work has been
rushed on this day and night.
Last night in order to prevent a
sudden rush of water against this tenn
porary levee, the water was let
through the second embankment, and
it was thought the situation was
saved.
The new levee held several hours
and then gave way. AS it was built
of soft clay and sand, the crevasses
widened with startling rapidity, until
tonight it is stated that the break is
a quarter of mile in width.
The break occurred at the W. D.
Merer plantation, two miles north of
Taylortown. This place adjoins the
Scopini plantation, where a levee
broke in 1902 and flooded large ter
ritory.
The Mercer, Taylor, McDade,
Hodges, Poole and Atkins plantations
may be flooded.
A planter stated today that the en-
tire country from the point where the
break occurred to Loggy Bayou will
be flooded. He estimated that this
territory is fifteen miles in length.
Early this morning the Louisiana
Railway and Navigation Company sent
a special train to Taylortown to re-
move the people to places of safety.
The railroad track was located a mile
from the levee, on a line with the
break, but within a short time the
water began washing, and before the
special train returned much of the
track had been washed out.
Mayor Bernstein to-day wired United
States Engineer Smith at Vicksburg,
asking that a government snagboat
be sent to Taylortown to rescue strand
ed families and render any needed as
sistance. He received a reply this
afternoon, stating that a boat had
been ordered to Taylortown from the
vicinity of Alexandria.
It is conservatively estimated that
the damage caused by the flood
throughout this section will amount
to million dollars. Considerable loss
has occurred in the city, and more
than a hundred negro families, living
in St. Paul and Silver Lake bottoms,
have been driven from their homes.

News from Houston, Miss, states
that safeblowers entered the Houlka

many acts similar to this during the
last two months in this section of the
State, their actions being similar to
those at New Albany a short time

w. E. Henderson, Lincoln County,
Miss, farmer, has proven to his own
satisfaction, and doubtless to that of
his neighbors, that there is more
money in the meek and lowly onion
than in King Cotton.
Mr.. Henderson is one of these wide
awake Western farmers who has
drifted down into Mississippi during
the past year or two, bought up a lot
of land that is SO poor that the aver
age home-raised farmer will not try
to make living on, and has gone to
raising something besides cotton.
This year he tried one acre in onions.
and has made one hundred bushels
that sell readily at 81 per bushel. The
land is poor, and the owner expects
to make three or four hundred bushels
on the same piece in another year or
two-a feat that is by no means i'm
possible. These. onions come from
seed planted last fall. Exchange.
