One Thousand Teachers Needed.

Baton Rouge.-The state school Of
ficials have issued the State Summer
Normal School manual for the State
Normais that are to be held at Match
itoches, Ruston and Lafayette May
81 to July 81. In this manual the
institute board says: The demand
for teachers has never been greater
and never before has the state Of
fered better recognition to teachers
of training and merit. A good teach.
er is certain to obtain a position at
a good salary; a better teacher at
a better salary. There will be one
thousand vacancies to fill the fall of
1909; several p~rincipalships in high,
grammar and rural consolidated
schools, and many positions as teach
ers of music, drawing, etc. THE best
way to prepare for these positions
is to attend one of the summer
schools, which are separately design
ed for the teachers Of Louisiana"
The summer schools Of 1909 to be
conducted at Lafayette, Ruston and
Natchitoches. have in common the
aim to better prepare teachers to do
effective work by increasing their
scholarship and their professional
equipment.

Boil Weevii In the Race.

Baton Rouge.-That the boil weevil
in this section of the state will not
do serious damage to the early cot
ton is the opinion of William Newell
secretary of the State Crop Pest Com
mission. After the first Of August
the weeyils are expected to appear
in large numbers, and will do I'm.
questioned damage to the crops. 1.-THE
past season was favorable in East
Baton Rouge for the Information OF
the pest" says the secretary, but
the general rule has been that where
the weevil has appeard the summer
previous in a parish that little dam
age is done until late the following
summer. Those farmers who have
early maturing cotton and have fol-
lowed the cultural methods should be
able to get IS per cent of their crop,
SO far as the damage from the boil
weevil will affect the yield. But where
from late planting, poor seed and
failure to cultivate properly the crop
is slow in maturing, the weevil will
do considerable damage. According
to entmologists the pest is expected
to increase in sufficient numbers af-
ter August l to practically prevent
the making Of a crop after that year.
The experiments that are being con
Quoted at Manchura show that a
great proportion OF the weevil is
surviving the season.

SENATOR FROM UTAH
Reed Smoot One of the HustlerS
Of Congress.
How He Fought to Retain Seat !"
Upper House-Has Won Honors
in That Body by Hard, Con.
sistent and Careful Work.

Washington.-It is a long stride
from fighting against big odds to re-
tain a seat in the United States sen.
ate to a place in its highest councils.
but it is one which has been taken by
Senator Reed Smoot of Utah in one
term. Even before Senator Smoot
had taken his seat, the storm of pro.
test against his retaining it had be-
gun to swell in eastern states, and
when he took the oath of Office its
clouds hung so threateningly that they
would have frightened a less daring
fighter. Because Senator SmOot be.
longed to the hierarchy Of the Nor.
mon church thousands petitioned
against his retaining the honor to
which he had been without question
legally elected by the Utah legisla.
ture. This is history. What Senator
Smoot has done since his right to sit
in the senate was confirmed is an
other matter.
It was three sessions before the
storm of criticism of the new Utah
senator had subsidized and the senate
committee on privileges and elections
reported in favor Of permitting him to
| retain his seat. Then, as if he had
| been storing up energy during the two
previous years, Mr.. SmO0t launched
into his work as a senator like q
dynamo.
Those who worked with him and
tried to maintain his pace soon
dropped by the wayside. and left this

Viii Secure Voters Signatures.
Baton Rouge.-A petition is being
circulated at every school house in
every ward in East Baton Rouge par
ish, asking that the police jury call
a special election to vote a tax Of
3 mills to be devoted exclusively to
the public schools Of the parish. So
far the petitions are meeting with
general support. The parish superin-
tendent sent them out several days
ago to the members of the parish
school boards, and also to the teach
ers in the different schools to circu-
late them among their patrons. These
petitions asking for the special cleo.
lions will not be finally disposed of
until the meeting of the school board
in July. The board will take action
on them, and If a sufficient number of
signatures have been secured and
the expressions from the voters in
dictate a strong sentiment in favor
of the special tax then the matter
will be referred to the police jury
with the request that the election be
called.

SUGAR Planters Enter Protest.

NapoIeonville.-A telegram was re-
ceived here by Senator John Marks
from United States Senators McEnery
and Foster, asking what, in the opin'
ion of the sugar planters of Louis
lana, would be the effect if the diff
ferentiation on refined sugar were re-
moved. Senator Marks Immediately
called a meeting of prominent sugar
planters of Assumption, and, at the
conference held, an earnest protest
against the removal Of the d%ifferen-
tials was embodied in a telegram and
sent to the Louisiana senator's. The
planters are of the opinion that the
removal of the d%ifferentials would re-
suit in great harm to the sugar in
dustry of Louisiana.

RUNNING Races Nav Be Adopted.

Crowley.-At a meeting of the
board of directors of the Acadia Par

pointed on a committee for the cata-
lcgue. The board is considering a
plan to replace the large purses Of
fered in previous years for harness
races by purses for running races.
Heretofore the harness races for high
class horses have been a practical
walkover for one horse, and they have
been uninteresting. 1t is now pro-
posed to hold races on the first three
days of the fair, open to running
horses or ponies Of the respective
wards, the winners from each ward
to contest on the last day for a large

senate found that it had a good de-
batter. Mr.. Smoot profited by his
silence, and the opening of his fourth
session found him we'll located on the
Republican side and active.
On March 4, 1909, Senator Smoot
began his second term. Opposition to
him because of his close connection
with the Mormon church had disap-
peared. Those who had taken a care.
full look into his life found that his
beliefs did not intrude themselves
upon the daily lives Of others, and
come to know him as an ordinary
American citizen, with plenty of west.
ern snap and energy. Those who had
come into contact with him in debate
knew that it was not wise to precipi.
tate unnecessarily an encounter with
him on the senate floor.
Many of those who signed petitions
to congress asking that Reed Smoot
be ousted from the senate took it fM
granted that he had more than one
wife. No one understands this preju.

This work was watched and marked
