THE BOIL WEEVIL
An Experiment in St Landry Parish
and the Result.

The Dodson Times states that a
unique and apparently successful mode
of destroying the boil weevil has been
adopted in St Landry parish.
The pest has appeared in the Coulee
Croche section in numbers and the
farmers have bethought themselves to
experiment in destroying them. It 10
well known that most bugs will come
to a light when shown at night. Acting
upon this theory the farmers put out a
torch in field and placed underneath it
tub of water. While they found the
Weevil readily focked to the torch and
fell into the water, they would crawl
out. Then it was they tried Beaumont
oil, and the morning after the first ex-
pertinent with oil "a weevils were found
in the tub.
Now it is said general experiment
will be made on this line. The farmers
throughout that section will put out
torches, and they believe if one torch
can catch "a in night, the scattering
of torches throughout the fields will go
way towards catching the bulk of the
pests.

NEWS IN BRIEF
Interesting News Items Gathered by a
Caucasian Representative.

In the charming month Of May, the
time of singing birds and blooming flow
ers, there was born into the world two
whose love of animated life became SO
great, that their lives were devoted to
the study of birds and the deep sea
creatior-John James Audubon May 4
1880, and Louis Randolph Agassiz May
20, 1907. Audubon was of French par
entage and in the beautiful Teche coun-
try his people found home to escape
religious persecution. The father was
an educated devout man and instilled
into the mind of his son the love for
nature and natures God that became
the ruling passion of his life. The ma
ture-loving boy became the world-re-
nowned ornithologist. His Birds of
North America "magnifcently illustrat-
ed, one volume costing $4,000, can not
now be purchased at any price. At his
side through all his later. life was his
beloved faithful wife whose substantial
aid and encouragement made his sue
cess possible.
From the Swiss Alps came Agassiz
and in America his dream was realized,
he became great. F. wrote to his father
L wish it may be said of Louis Agas-
siz that he was the first naturalist of his
time, a good citizen and a good son,
beloved of those who knew him" Har-
ward honored him with the chair of nat
ural history, and he was the chosen
friend of Longfstlow, Holmes, Prescott,
Lowell. They buried him at Mount Au-
burn. From the glacier of the Aar, not
far from his birthplace, they brought a
boulder for his monument, and pine
trees from his old home in Switzerland
grow beside beside his grave. His life
like that of Audubon furnishes not
able example of earnest devotion to
definite purpose and also shows to what
heights of greatness a man may attain
through his own efforts if he but per
severe.

MOTHERS MEETING.

The last of this interesting and in
structive series of meetings which have
occurred monthly through the school
session was held Wednesday with Miss
Schuster at the central kindergarten.
The meeting was we'll attended. The
guests seated in groups of tours at the
small tables adorned with bouquets gave
the feature of sociability and friendli-
ness which is the very essence of a
mothers meeting Miss Schuster gave a
resume of the years work Repeating
the children know and love she touched
on their natureW DIRK about birds and
flowers and what the children have ac-
tually learned. They know the names of
our common birds and how they build
their nests, the number and kind of
eggs. They know also that there are
song birds and that they should be pro-
tected. About flowers they know more
than about birds for these they can
touch and handle The great central
thought of the teachers work with the
children, said Miss Schuster, is to make
them see God through his works, and
that it is he who make the birds and the
flowers and all living things Beautiful
souvenir cards, hand painted with May
landscape scenes done by Miss Schus-
ter and Miss Lomberg, were presented
the guests. On them were inscribed this
pretty verse:
"We thank thee
For flowers that bloom about our feet,
For tender grass so fresh and sweet,
For song of bird and hum of bee,
For all things fair we hear and see
Father in heaven we thank thee
Charming vocal selections were con-
tributed by Misses Flora Strauss and
Myrtle Winter, with piano accompani-
ment by Miss Hortense Dreyfuss Mrs
Will Kendall giving a third number, an
instrumental solo. Refreshments of
dainty waters and strawberry ice were
served
The kindergarten is an important part
of Our great public school system. Miss
Schuster assisted by Miss Palm Lom-
berg and Miss Georgia v Stringfel1ow,
has instructed over so children. Her
work with them, presented from an ar
tistie and spiritual standpoint, is the
foundation of character Miss Schus-
ter's life work has been with very young
children and here in our own town her
beautiful instruction has borne fruit.

ONE OF THE RICHEST.

Mansfield Journal: According to well
posted men, one Of the richest sections
of country in the world is that along
the upper Sabine river in Louisiana. Il
is known there are large deposits of lig-
mite coal of high grade at various points,
while gold and silver exist to a consid-
cradle extent, and there is a vein OF
block tin, salt and other minerals. It
is impossible to buy any of this land,
yet no steps have been taken to develop
the property, part of which belongs to a
St. Louis syndicate, while other lands
en- the Texas side Of the river belong
to residents Of Orange, Texas.
