THE CHICAGO LAND SHOW

Walter Parker. the we'll known
newspaper correspondent of New
Orleans. writes as follows con-
corning the Chicago land show
and the part Louisiana will take
in the exhibition:
Gone of the most striking tea-
lures of Louisiana as statewide ex-
hibit at the Chicago land show,
Nov. IS to Dec. 9, will be the di-
versified products grown Oh the
boil weevil infested cotton farms
Of Louisiana. 1t has been estl-
mated by competent authorities
that where the Louisiana cotton
growers have dropped cotton and
turned to diversified products in
whole souled way, two dollars
have dropped into their pockets
where only one dropped in Def ere.
Up in North Louisiana where cot
ton was once king, and where the
people talked cotton all the year
round, forty and fifty bushels OF
corn per acre, all Of which sun
dries itself. are now commonly
grown. while in the same year
crops of potatoes, onions and 9TH
er things are produced on the
same land when it is not nee led
for corn. Stock raising. because
of the open winters and year
round pasturage, has developed
rapidly since the boil weevil came.
Dairy farms, stocked with partic-
ularly hardy cross breeds of ma
tive and nOn-native cattle, have
sprung up in the cotton growing
country, and creameries and milk
evapdrating plants are fast be-
coming an important industry bel
cause Of the low cost Of feed and
the high quality Of the milk due
to excellent pasturage Cante-
loupes, Strawberries and early
garden truck. and in some cases
sugar cane and rice. have largely
replaced cotton, each of which
produces greater profits than cot
ton and all of which find ready
market for consumption in the
colder and later climates OF the
north.
Farmers in other states. where
the boil weevil has only just ar
rived. will be interested in this
Louisiana exhibit. which is to be
given by the state, acting in its
official capacity, as it will shed
some very important light on the
very important problem Of how
best to combat the boil weevil.
The exhibit will also prove highly
interesting and instructive to the
men who spin cotton into yarn. as
it will demonstrate in a practical
manner that while the weevil may |
reduce the South s yield OF cot
ton-it cut Louisiana's produc-
ton from 100000 bales five
years ago to 100000 bales last |
can not put the enter
prising farmer out Of business or
hurt his bank account if he fol-
low the example of the cotton
farmer in Louisiana.
Louisiana's agricultural ex-
hibit commission, which was rec
emily appointed by Governor j.
Y. Sanders, expects to spend
about $4,000 on the states ex-
hibit at Chicago. The exhibit will
be statewide in character. No
land will be sold and no private
interests advertised.-Ex.

Z. L. GARLAND REFUSED IN
THE McCREE CASE.

Opelousas, La, OcA 9.-The
grand jury was formally con-
vened in the District Court this
morning, all the members being
present except Juror Ardoin, of
Eunice, who was unable to arrive
today. After a brief charge by
the judge, the grand jury went
into the consideration of such
matters as may be brought to
their attention. Upon the as
sembling of court, District Attor-
ney Garland filed with the clerk
the affidavit charging Mrs. j. p.
McCree with the murder of Allen
7. Garland, some three weeks ago,
and moved the court to recuse
him in the case for the reason that
he was related to the deceased
within the fourth degree, as pro-
vided by law. As the district at
torney is an uncle to Allen Gar
land, it was thought he would
take this course, but reports were
current to the contrary. The
judge entered the order of recusa-
ton and appointed Ex-District
Attorney E. B. Dubuisson as dis |
trict attorney pro tempore, and
he promptly accepted the appoint
ment. Mr.. Dubuisson's wife is a |
irst cousin of the deceased. It'll
S not thought that the grand
Jury took up the consideration of
he McCree-G Garland case this af-
erhoon, but It was impossible to
ubstantiate that belief. How
yer, the case will be considered |
Without delay and q report will
doubtless be made on the case not
ater than Friday of this week.

something, too, for the exhibits Of King

good and would rank well with those

The exhibition of cards by the grain

Of the cotton growers afire, and this
year they are planning as never before
to have the finest cotton display on
record at the Louisiana Fair. They
are determined to keep cotton In the
front and will give the spectators some
thing at which to wonder. Many OF
the best hollis to be found on the farms
of Louisiana and some Of the best
bales of the feecy staple will be on ex-
hibition, judging by the notices reach
ing the associations headquarters.
These exhibits will show the visitors
what can be done by the cotton grow
ers even on boil weevil land. For sew
eral years the weevil has been in the
state, but by following the instructions
Of the experts the farmers have
learned how to make splendid yields
despite the presence Of the little pests.
and some of the cotton exhibited this
year will evidence the good work of
the government experts. There was
an extreme drought earlier In the sea
son. and 1t was thought that this
would injure the cotton prospects. but
later reports are to the effect that the
crop is doing splendidly, notwithstand-
ing drought. weevils and other things
that have to be fought by the farm
ers.
Louisiana has always been big cot
ton producing state. Her people have
known about the crop from earliest
babyh hood. They have learned more
about it year by year. 1t means more
dollars to majority Of the country
people than any other one crop. and
therefore 1t arouses great interest. At
the Fair this year 1t will hold its own.
The catalogue tells Of the many pre-
miums that are to be awarded for the
best exhibits. Secretary L. N. Brueg-
gerho6 Of Shreveport will gladly send
to all asking for same.

KAISER REFUSES
TO FORCE MATCH
daughter Will Not Be Forced
to Marry English Prince.

Berlin. July 2e.-AIl the numerous IN
mors about an impending betrothaI of
the Kaiser's daughter, Princess Victoria
Louise, have now been denied, except
the one which couples her name with
that of the Prince of Wales.
Der Roland, a weekly magazine, re-
ports that Emperor William actually
made the remark credited to him-'I
will not sacrifice my little one to pol
tics"
1t is coming to be generally accepted
as fact that both the Emperor and the
Empress would be very pleased to have
their only daughter to wed the Prince
OF Wales. not only because he Is the
next King Of Great Britain and Emperor
of India, but becadse they approve OF his
habits and training.
The Empress and Queen Mary are al
most puritanical in their ideas. and Have
brought up their children In the straight
and narrow path so that the young
people are we'll matched-in their
mothers eyes at least.
Yet so fondly does the Emperor love
his favorite daughter that no EFFORT will
be made to compel her to marry any
body unless she loves him. Every op-
portunity will be given her to meet her
she would like to be his wife; but moth
ing definite Is likely to be said or done,
Der Roland asserts. for at least four
years, as she is only eighteen, and the
Prince OF Wales is younger.

DIAMOND FIELDS
YIELD SMALL CROP
Decrease in Profits Expert
enced in South Africa.

Cape Town. July 29.-The rosy pros
poets. indeed the almost wonderful sue
cess, OF the diamond fields in German
Southwest Africa in the early days of
their exploitation, some five or six years
ago. are gradually losing their magic hue
and the success OF the fields is becoming
more questionable.
The reason Is that the surface of the
diamond region, which previously sup
piled large quantities of the gems, have
practically been cleared of their rich har-
vest. and deeper mining, with its attend
ant greater cost, must be resorted to.
The Colonial Mining Company, which
in its infancy paid the magnificent divi-
dend of 2.5o1 per cent on capital of
about 81, 100000, has long ago come down
to smaller figures. The Kolmanskop So
ciety, which paid 50 per cent in its first
year and 45 per cent in its second, now
announces a dividend for the half year OF
Is per cent. The German Diamond So
ciety paid 10 per cent last year and 3 per
cent this year.
In addition to the need OF costlier meth
DDS of production is noted a shortage Of
labor and a high export tax of 80 l-3 of
the gross value. Fer all this, writer's on
the subject do not consider that the dia-
mond supply Is near exhaustion.

Canterbury, situated some fifteen miles
south of London, is for sale.

of pottage since George III. and one King,
Charles II, refused to partake of it when

London. July 29.-There is. no end to the
ingenuity OF toy makers nowadays, and
little girls of to-day are enthusiastic over
their king and queen dolls. which are the
latest thing in the chidren's world.
These dolls, which children are intended
to keep in remembrance of the corona
tion. are wax figures made to resemble
the Queen dressed in beautiful garments
which are copies of her majesty's robes,
the King crowned and wearing his regal
robes.
The royal dolls are about two feet high,
and are now on sale at a well-known
Regent street establishment at $50 each
Lord Roberts and Lord Kitchener are
also reproduced in wax-doll form, to
stand in attendance on their majesties

to give delight to little boys who scorn
the ordinary toy, is SIS each.

STOLEN PAINTING
LOSES CLEARNESS
Reservations Ruin Original
of Duchess.

London. July s.-The alleged original
Of Gainsborough's Stolen Duchess Is
now to be seen at the Public Gallery. in
Bruton street, under conditions which
make 1t possible to form an idea as to
its artistic merit.
Although the documentary evidence in
its favor is so clear and convincing that
any legal mind will accept it as abso-
lutely trustworthy, the picture itself does
not advance the claims made on its be-
half.
There is little, If any, evidence OF Gains
boroughs brushwork to be seen on the
canvas. which must have undergone many
restorations and bears thick coat of
shiny varnish. What is to be seen now
reveals a coarseness of touch alien to
Gainsborough's art. How much Of this
may be due to subsequent repaintings it
is difficult to decide.

EST NEWS FROM FOREIGN CAPITALS FOR HERALD READERS
DANCER Is HELD
AS SPY FOR JAPS
Letters Discovered in Raid
Cause Her Arrest.

st. Petersburg, July "a great sensa-
ton has been caused in St Petersburg by
the news that Nine. Krezinska, the IA
nous Polish dancer. who formerly ap-
peared at the imperial tbeaters, has been
arrested at Cracow on a charge of espi-
onage.
BY her talent and beauty the dancer
won such high favor that she was en-
abled to exercise great influence in the
capital especially in art circles. 1t was
due to Nine. Krezinska that a Polish
committee was formed to erect a statue
of Chopin at Warsaw.
Some time ago 1t came to the knowl-
edge of the Russian authorities that Sc
crets appertaining to the national defense
were communicated to Japan and Ger
many. In connection with this affair sew
eral officers of the general staff were ar
rested, but all were able to establish their
complete innocence.
However, as a result of the inquiry the
authorities obtained information which
led to the dancer. She was closely
watched. The police swooped down on

and letters were seized which are now oc-
cupying the attention of the authorities.
