Diversified Crops in the South.

summer at the usual rate of speed.
While every prccaution has been taken
and tie legislature has added s20,ooo
the farmers are aware that the dam
age to the cotton crop by the insect
necessarily Will be large Accordingly
cotton acreage viii br reduced. and
great areas of land hitherto devoted
exclusively To cotton this year VIII be
turned to other crops. Extensive
truck gardens are being planted and
il is the belief of land owners that
the profits therefrom will be greater
than if the soil We're devoted wholly
to cotton.
For many years strawberry culture
has been a most profitable enterprise
in some sections. The berries pro-
duced are nearly perfect specimens of
their kind and top prices are paid for
them in the big city markets. 1t is

these liberal offers.

The Bath Independent notes that it
has been Q long time since lobster
prices were as high as they are now.
1t has been said in some quarters that
this was due to the fact that fisher
men off the Nova Scotia coast could
not get at their traps on account OF
rough weather Fish Warden Abner
c. johnson, of Small Pond, however.
tells the Independent that one cause
is the fact that bait has been so
scarce and high that the lobster fish
ermen could not get it to bait their
traps during the winter. Herring
make good bait when they can be So
cured for fair price but they are grow
ing Scarcer every year, and likewise
higher, 50 that the fisherman has to
get more for his Holsters, and that is
one of the reasons why herring lcgs-
lation has attracted So much atten-
ton in the Maine Legislature. this

WHAT THE BOYS BE A DOM I
DOWN TO THE LEGISLATURE

OLYMPIA, Feb. This week
promises to bring out some of the
real fights in the present session
of the legislature. Several emer-
gency matters have been disposed
OF, 1t is true, but the big legisla-
tive questions have practically re-
NAMED untouched. And there is
quite heavy program ahead, too.
The following are some of the
measures that will cause consider
able discussion on the floor: Bills
providing for a public utilities
commission; the compensation
act; legislative reapportionment;
congressional reapportionment;
local option; trust legislation; the
insurance code; the banking code;
and the initiative, referendum and
recall.
OF these the local option ques-
ton and the initiative, have re-
ceived some consideration. The
rest have so far escaped all dis
cussion on the floor of either
house. The house early in the
session passed resolution not to
take up cnsideration of the liquor
question. But the senate is de-
termined to force it upon the low
er house, and 22 senators, consti-
tuting a majority, have attached
their names to a local option bill.
The house. too, has passed the in
itiative bill providing for amend
ments to the constitution. The
senate has done nothing yet on
any of the direct legislation bills.

Madeline Fits Away to Wed
Big Pretty Pawk, Indian Hero

CHICAGO, Feb, NO sooner
had Mrs. Minnie Kirchberg Sulli-
van returned from the west with
her eighteen-year-old, daughter,
Madeline, than Zip-and where
was madeline?
She was on a trangcontinental
train speeding back toward that
same well-known wocley west to
marry an indian. It's q pretty ro-
nance, but of course Mrs. Sullivan
dosn'et want an indian in the fam
lily, and the telegraph wires have
been kept pretty busy between Chi
cago and Sheridan, Wyo. Madeline
deigns no reply to these urgent
appeals, and unless something I'm
expected happens Madeline will no
longer be Madeline Sullivan. No,
she will be Mrs. Big Pretty Hawk.
AS to the romance here is the
gist of the whole thing, culled
from the very heart of the affair:
Fine summer morning; Made
line Sullivan, mounted upon her
prancing charger, rides out over
the plains. Horse cuts fancy caper,
starts to run. Seethe fright
ened girl is almost falling from
her horse! Now who appears upon
the scene of action? Ha, It's our
'ero-Big Pretty Hawk. He
clutches the falling girl. She sinks
into his strong, manly arms. She
opens her limpid eyes, and looks
up into the face of the brave red
skin. Well, from that time on,
she Just loved Big Preety Hawk.
That was all there was to it.
This is what B. p. Hawk said:
Much shame, heap pity, big bad
horse kill pretty white girl"

House VS.. Senate

Another instance of the radical
difference sthat exist between
house and senate members was
brought to light by the passage In
the senate yesterday morning of
an amendment to the present
statutes taking from the board of
control the power to buy supplies
for the state reformatory at Mon
roe, and giving that duty to the
board of managers of that institu-
ton. Hardly had the bill passed
when bill was circulated in the
house reversing conditions, giving
the board of control this power
solely. Speaker Taylor's name led
all the rest, and there were 81
others who become joint fathers OF
the bill.

Some Hot Shot

Representative Denman started
things in real insurgent fashion
yesterday, when he charged Chair
man Locke of the constitutional
revision committee wit ha deiliber-
ate attempt to pigeon-hole the in
itiative and referendum bill, intro
duced by Representatives Teats,
Todd, Phipps, Denman and H. d.
Buchanan. Foster of King moved
to lay on the table Denman's re-
quest that the bill be taken from
the committees hands. This was
lost by vote of 81 to %, but not
before Foster came in for sever
al sharp comments. Foster Is a
member of the constitutional COM
mittee.
ut is a scheme on the part of
these men to smother the bill, -
said Teats, land if it is true, as
the gentleman from King says
that he represents wealthy clients
in Seattle, can see why he should
be anxious to delay the measure
Speaker Taylor called Teats' at
tention to the rule prohibiting
making personal reflections.
Il believe in calling a spade a
spade" said Teats.
If this bill were one to defeat
the compensation act, the gentle
man from King would have had il
out of the hands of the commit
tee in fifteen minutes" said Dow.
lUUnder the rules, a bill must be
reported back within ten days af-
ter it is referred to a committee,
and this was not done with the In
itiatiye and referendum measure.
Speaker Taylor took the floor to
say that If motion by Todd to
make 1t special order of busi-
ness for Thursday morning car
ried, it would be a slap at the
rules committee. of which he was
chairman, which never had a
chance to put the bill on the cal
endar. Todd's motion was voted
down and another carried COMPEL.

"Strugglers" Score

Embryonic lawyers have prac-
tically won their battle. They
will not need high school diplo-
ma or a teachers certificate to en-
title them to take the bar examin-
alton. Representatives Holmes,
Teats, Wray, McQueston and
Twitchell pleaded for them yes
terday, and won. If they show
general qualifications, the SUI
preme court will permit them to
be examined on legal subjects
only. And they will only have to
give two months notice instead of
two years that they intend to take
the examination. The bill will
come up for final reading shortly.

for the ''poor, struggling, young
man. by applauding, though it is
against the rules.
