PRIEST LEAVES PLAQUEMINE
Goes TO New Orleans 10 Escape EIOIancs at
Hands of Ills Enemies.

Father J.. ]. Holtgreve, for the
past two years the storm center Of
q bitter fractional fight in P~laquemine,
Iberyille parish, is in the city today,
says the Daily States of Monday.
He has left Plaquemine forever. Ac-
cording to statements that he made
when seen here today at the Fabacher
Hotel, he left for fear Of personal
violence" resulting from reports that,
the priest said enumerated from his
political enemies.
His place at Plaquemine, it is un-
derstood, will be filed by a temporary
appointment. AS to his own case
nothing will be done in that until the
return Of the archbishop, who is now
in Europe. Father Holtgreve had a
conference with Mgr. Laval shortly
after his arrival here this morning,
aud it was after this conference that
he made the above statement.
Father Holtgreye's arrival here
today followed an announcement in
his paper on Saturday Of his intention
to resign his pastorage and leave
Plaquemine.
In the announcement Father Holt
grove gave no reason as to why he
had decided to surrender his charge.
It has been reported in the city for
several days, however, that some
such decision on his part was proba-
Bile growing out Of advice given him
by a committee Of the Knights Of
Columbus.

ton Of the cotton fields where the
cotton has not reached such q size as
to interfere with the cultivation.
Mr.. Newell is authority for the
statement that a great abundance of
squares on the plants from now until
Aug. / will serve as a protection
for the small bolls already set. The
weevil will continue their attention
to the squares, if these are abundant,
and let the plants alone, whereas, il
there were but few squares on the
plants the weevil would now turn
their attention to the bolls already
set and destroy a large percentage
of them. It is to keep the plants
producing squares ~profuseIy for the
next two weeks that the commission
advises continued shallow cultivation
wherever the condition and size Of
the crop will permit it.

Missionary Notes.
BY THE SOCIETY.

Though the heat is 50 intense,
these July days, we had a very pleas
ant meeting Of our Missionary soeie-
ties on Friday afternoon.
We were SO glad to welcome our
Home Mission treasurer, Mrs. Nc
Ispadden, who has been absent on ac-
count of illness. Miss Mamie Turner
presided at the organ, and we APP
preciated her kindness. Our attend
ance was small. It is hot, dear sis
tiers; it is fearful to get out in this
heat and ride miles, and to walk
even a short distance, but let US be
true to Him who endured so much
for US. Satan never takes a vaca-
ton, but in heat or cold is always
busy, seeking whom he may devour.
Let us each one take some part III
making the meetings interesting, and
then we will feel that we must be
there. In all our missionary papers
we see the faces of those who have
just graduated from our various
training schools prepared for Home
and Foreign work. 1t is good to
look into the strong earnest faces
of these fine, intelligent trained
workers, who have co~nsecrated their
lives to the service Of the Master,
some to go to the heather lands,
where they have never heard Of Him
who gave His life for us. some to
work here in the home land where
the need is so great. We are glad
to see so many but they are not near
enough. Truly the harvest is plen-
teous, but the Iaborers are few"
Some of the secular papers have
raised a great outcry against mis-
sion work, because one Chinaman
has proved faithless and murdered
his teacher. But nothing is said Of
Che thousands that are living faithful
Christian lives because Of the mis-
sionary's teaching. They never
heard of the many Chinese converted
to Christ who lived and died IN the
faith. They never troubled Them
selves to read Of the victims Of the
Boxer rebellion, how they suffered
martYrdom rather than give up their
faith il the true God, and how they
loved the missionaries, and stood by
them in these troublous times.
The power Of God will still save
men even though Satan gets in his
black work, and they fall. The many,
many who remain true, are perhaps
never heard of here, but their names
are written in the Lambe book Of
Life.
Let us not sIacken our efforts to
send the gospel TO every creature,
because some prove faithless. We
are commended to "go" so let us not
be oilers in his vineyard because
some win not prove true.

LOUISIANA TO HAVE
TWO BIG GAME
PRESERVES.

Louisiana will have two big game
preserves. This matter will be taken
up at the meeting Of The Game Com
mission Monday. President Frank
M. Miller said: The proposed pre-
serves are, one in Webster and Bos-
sier parishes, which covers an area
Of about 1000 acres, and the other
Washington, which is four miles long
and three miles wide.
TT is not intended that the State
shall buy the land outright. The
State will rent it, while the farmers
who are now living on the ground
will be made deputy wardens. It is
proposed to raise deer and wild tur-
key, as well as other game, on these
preserves. No hunting whatsoever
win be allowed there. The surplus
will overflow the bounds Of the pre-
serves, and will run into the adjoining
parishes, while the districts are too
far away for the game to travel, they
will be stocked by game being ship
ped and turned loose"
Next Wednesday or Thursday Mr..
Miller will go off on another lectur-
ing tour.

CROP PEST COMMISSION
Announces that Picking Up aRd Burning Of In
tested Cotton Squares viii BE Useless Now.

Baton Rouge, La, July 18.--The
State Crop Pest Commission an
nounced Saturday, through its ento-
mologist, Wilmon Newell, that the
picking up and burning of infested
squares in the cotton fields will not
be. found profitable from this date on.
The commission has approved Of the
gathering Of fallen squares and their
destruction during June and the
early part Of July, but the season has
now arrived when so many squares
and forms are falling from che plants
that the cost Of gathering them is
prohibitive. It is also pointed out
that the annual migration, or diaper-
sion, Of the weevil will take place
the latter part Of July or early ii
August, just as it has done in pre-
vious years. and all cotton fields win
become thoroughly infested by the
weeVil at that time, no matter how
thoroughly the farmer has succeeded
in keeping down the weeyil prior to
that date. The squares which are
being punctured now will not pro
duce adult weeyil until about Aug. /,
and as the migration Of the Weevil
will cause a maximum infestation Of
every cotton field, the Weeyil which
would be destroyed by the farmer
picking up squares now would make
no difference in the amount of dam
age done to this years crop.
The commission is advocating che
continued frequent shallow cultiva-

Twin Necessities.

s. =AH s&#&a y
The readers Of q newspaper will
readily agree that it is necessary for
4 merchant, With any pretension to
progressiveness, to advertise. YET
this would not be true if it were not
equally true that it is necessary for
the reader Of the newspaper, if he or
she has any pretensions to progress
iveness, TO read and answer the ads.
These are tWin-facts, twin necessi-
ties. Whatever is Of enough import
ance for Che merchant to pay for the
privilege Of saying is of too much I'M
portance for the reader to overlook.
And just as advertising is the way Of
the progressive store, 50 is the read
ing Of advertising the way Of the
progressive person. Measure your
progressfveness by this standard, and
you will not go far wrong.
The advertised goods are usually
cheaper, sold at less profit to draw
trade, and the ad reader gets the
savings.
It is the saved dollar that counts.

FOR CONSTIPATION.
A Medicine That Does Not Cost
Anything Unless It Gives Salts
factory Relief.

If you suffer from constipation in
al; farm whatever, acute or chronic,
We will guarantee to supply you medl-
cine that We honestly believe will ef-
feet permanent relief if taken with
regularity and according to directions
for a reasonable length Of time.
Should the medicine fail to benefit
YOU to your entire satisfaction we
promise that ii shall cost you nothing.
No other remedy can be compared
with Rexall Orderlies for the easy,
pleasant and successful treatment OF
constipation. The active medicinal
ingredient of this remedy, which is
odorless. tasteleSs and colorleSS, Is an
entirely new discovery. Combined
with other valuable ingredients, it
forms a preparation which is incom-
parable as perfect bowel regulator,
intestinal invigorator and strengthen
er. Rexall Orderlies are eaten like
candy. and are notable for their gen
! tie and agreeable action. They do
not cause gripping or any disagreeable
effect or inconvenience, and may be
taken at any time, day or night.
We particularly recommend Rexal!
Orderlies for children and for deli
:: cate or aged persons, because they do
not contain anything injurious. Unlike
other preparations. they t" not create
Il habit. but instead they overcome rAe
: habits acquired through the use OF
ordinary laxatives. cathartics, and
harsh physic, and remove the causes
