These Are Just Hopping Hoppers.

Fort Collins.-The grasshopper. that
trivial bit of fish bait which last year
caused a loss OF millions Of dollars to
the farmers of Colorado. is again
abroad in the land. Recently num-
Der of people who Travelled along the
country roads noticed the hoppers.
and some OF them took the trouble to
catch a few and show them to Prof.
c. p. Gillette OF the college. What
the professor told them was decidedly
encouraging. He said:
These hoppers that are making
their appearance now are not the dan
gerous fellows. They are what we
call the native hoppers. the kind we
will probably always have-the kind
that are absolute necessities during
the open season for trout. They are
hoppers that have managed by some
hook or crook to be Matched In the fall
and to survive the winter. and are
practically harmless.
"The dangerous hoppers. the kind
that are sometimes called the locust
and that assumed the shape OF real
pest last year. will not make their ap-
pearance for another month or two

PRESIDENT FOR
TARIFF REVISION
MESSAGE TO EXTRA SESSION
WILL DEAL WITH IMPORT
ANT SUBJECTS.
BOARD WILL REPORT
MR.. TAFT DESIRES CONGRESS TO
TAKE UP RECIPROCITY
FIRST.

Columbia, S. C.-President Taft, ac-
cording to present plans. will confine
his message to the extra session of
Congress to Canadian reciprocity and
the establishment of permanent tar
iff board.
He is convinced the country de-
sires, and ought to desire, further
revision of several schedules of the
Payne-Aldrich act. He feels the WOOL
en- schedule indefensible. it is said.
and is anxious it shall be revised soon.
The President is convinced that the
country desires that revisions of the
tariff be made in the light OF scien-
tific information which 1t is the duty
OF the tariff board to collect. 1t is
said he rather inclines to the idea
that no schedule should be revised
upon which the tariff board is not
ready with its information.
He has directed the temporary
tariff board to make report on wool
en- schedule by December LIST. He will
give the matter further consideration.
however. after he reaches Washington.
II Mr.. Taft's wishes were met, the
extra session will devote itself to reel
procity first. the government tariff
board second, postponing the revision
of the textile schedules until the tariff
board completes its work December
LIST.
In addition to the Presidents in
structions that the wooden schedule
shall be ready. the appropriation bill.

contains provision to that effect.
This does away with the possibility of
delay. he believes.
President Taft frankly expects the
Democratic House and the nearly
Democratic Senate of the Sixty-second
Congress to help him carry out pro
gram OF scientific revision of the tar
If.
He hopes another year will mark
great progress in that direction. He
is particularly anxious that the revis-
ion shall be in accordance with his
policy Of Hitting the tariff as far as
possible out of the realm of politics
and placing II upon a scientific basis
President Taft has said he believed
II would be Illogical. unwise and in
furious to the business interests II a
general tariff revision should be un'
dertaken.
How important the President re-
CARDS n permanent tariff board was
made evident after Congress ad
journed when he placed on the pres
ent board the very men, Mr.. Howard
and Prof. Page. whom he intended to
place on the permanent tariff commits

Under the direction OF Mr.. Emery

Former Resident Takes Bride

FORMER RESIDENT Takes a Bride.
The Boerne (Texas) Star of the t4th
contains the following account of the
wedding Of, Mr.. R. w. Taylor, youngest
son of Mr.. and Mrs. S. T. Taylor of this
place and a former resident of our par
ish, and NJ ISIS Mamie Lavallee, popolar
young lady of that place:
"On Wednesday morning the wedding
of Miss Mamie Lavallee with Mr.. r. w.
Taylor took place at st. Helena's
Church, in the presence of numerous
audience.
Rev. J. A. Massey performed the
service in most impressive manner,
and the vested choir sang the we'll
known hymns, Peace, Perfect Peace,
Thou Who at Canals Wedding Feast ,
and % Perfect Love- in splendid man.
ner, which added much to the beauty of
the service.
"The bride entered on the arm of her
father and was met by the bridegroom
and rector at the chancel arch, while the
organiist, Mr.. H. East, played the march
from Lohengrin. After the betrothal,
the couple advanced to the altar rail,
when the ceremony was completed by
the giving of the ring. After the nup-
tial benediction another hymn was sung
while the bride and bridegroom signed
the marriage register, and while the
organ gave out the wedding march, the
large congregation dispersed.
"The church was elegantly decorated
with flowers and plants by Mr.. and Mrs.
Willke and Miss Tucker.
"The bride is we'll known for her
gracious and amiable disposition, and is
the daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. L. N.
Lavallee, long time residents of Boerne.
The bridegroom was formerly Cashier OF
the Boerne State Bank and is now Pres
ident OF flourishing bank at Asherton,
where they will make their home.
"Their many friends wish them every
good wish on their journey through life,
in which the Star heartily joins"
Many of the Banners readers know
Dick and admire him for his manly
ways, sterling qualities and the pluck
that has thus far enabled him to win in
life. He is indeed courteous and pop
ular young gentleman, well met, and is
deserving of this fair bride and the place
of distinction he occupies in his new
Texas home. Here's luck to you and
yours, my boy, and many of your old
Louisiana friends will silently join the
writer in this friendly expression upon
seeing it in print.
