STATE DAIRYMEN TO CONVENE IN
 MERlDEN JAN. 1

Meriden. Nov 21-Fol. the first time i'm. in it's history, the Connecticut Dairy mems Association will meet in Meri- den for it's annual session, January 21. 22 and 23. State Secretary J. G. schwink, Jr.. in whom lies the au- thority of selecting a meeting place, on returning from Hartford, Where&he was in conference with other State association officials, announced that this city had been finally settled up- on as the scene of the 1913 session: All meetings will be held at the Auditor iun, and headquarters will be made at the Winthrop Hotel.
 Since it's organization, the Dairy mems asoscia ton has always selected Hartford for it's annual conventions, but this year it was unable to secure Unity hall, where the sessions have been always held heretofore, on the dates set for the meeting. As the as- sociation has these fixed dates for its convention, and the armory was considered too large for it's purposes, MT. Schwink was authorized to look elsewhere for a place for the conven- ton, and naturally turned to this, his home city.
 The association attendance at con- ventions usually is between 500 and TOO, so that the affair will be one of note for Meriden. This year. the com-

ed on next meeting, are Messrs. Ca sey, La1ly, Shaughnessy' and J. Hur- ley Adjournment.
 The rehearsal of the B. H. s. Or chestra will be held at the home of MT. Denny Friday evening instead of Thursday as formerly stated.
 The class numerals will probably be given to those seniors who played on the senior football team in. the re cent game.
 A call for more candidates for the basketball team has been sent out. All fellows with ability either developed or hidden in them should try out.
 In the A. A. meeting yesterday the treasurer announced that the assoc1a- tion was not only out of funds but was seventy-fve dollars in debt. Now, as there are many fellows in the school who have not paid their dues, a spe- cial effort should be made by them to break their desire to keep all the coveted coin and to contribute the requisite four bits to the A. A., which is,. at present, so sadly in need Of it.
 tI is greatly desired by MT Walsh of. the '13 pin committee, to have all those who sent for the second class pin to settle their little account with him at once as the company will be sending detectives after him for the pins which were received some time ago.
 Many B. H. S. students were pres ent at the whist social given by Miss Julia Carol East Main St, last evening.

thieves broken open. the hen coop of MT. Edward s. Barnum, Reservoir avenue and made away with some of his choicest birds. He feels especially sore to think that the very ones he wanted to keep most are the ones that were taken. These particular birds he had in a coop by themselves. preparing them for the show room. They. were intended to be shown in Cheshire and New Haven shows, and then in Colonial hall, December 3 to 6, where he was to come into com petition with some of the best silver Wyandottes in this state. He still has some good ones left and will be able to make a good showing all though not in as good condition as the stolen ones were. The thieves were very quiet while on the job, had they made the least noise, they
 might have been very much surpris- ed, and had they escaped, would have been subject for the doctors on an operating table, for MT. Barnum has a gun very handy at all times, loaded specially for the occasion. MT. Bar mum is good shot, and when he draws a bead on anything it rarely escapes, he says, although he misses his birds very much he will still be on hand at the big poultry and dog show to be held in Colonial hall the first week in December. Opening day Wednesday morning, 10 o'clock.

One of the striking things that
has been made public since Con.
gress has been endeavoring to
probe the incidents surrounding
the Titantic disaster is the fact
that as long ago as 1875 an effort
was made to secure an agreement
between foreign steamship lines
Tor ocean-going vessels to avoid
the shorter northern route at
dangerous seasons of the year,
when icebergs were likely to be
encountered. During a meeting
OF the House Committee on Mer-
chant Marine and Fisheries a let
ter was read to the committee that
was written by Thos. Ismay, the
father of j. Bruce Ismay, Presi.
dent of the International Mer-
camille Marine Company which
owned the Titantic, in 1875, in
which he urged upon a conference
OF foreign steamship owners that
they enter into an agreement
whereby all the lines should send
their ships over the more southern
but safer route at dangerous sea-
sons of the year. Another letter
from Mr.. Thos. Ismay to the same
effect. written in 1889, was also
read to the committee, to show
that the danger from the shorter
northern route had always been
recognized by steamship COM
panies. The letters in questi IN
were among the files of the Com
missioner of Navigation, and
were furnished by him to the
Chairman of the Committee, Rep
resentative Alexander, Of Mis-
souri,.

The high water situation is in
deed critical, and justifies our
worst fears of a repetition of the
flood of 1882. All hope of closing
the Torras crevasse has been
abandoned. That crevasse is now
over eight hundred feet wide, an
immense volume Of water is rush.
ing through it, at the rate of
twelve miles an hour. This water
in very short time will pour into
the Grand Lake basin, now full,
and will cause the inundation of
the low lands in this parish lying
east of Bayou Teche. The dam
age which this crevasse will cause
to the Parish of st. Mary, though
great, might be endured. But
should the Morganza levee be
swept away, it would mean ruin
to US. At this writing, it is re-
ported from seemingly reliable
sources that the water ia within
six inches of the crest of this levee
and is still rising. If this be true,
this levee is fated. and the con-
sequent damage to this section
will be untold and the suffering
great.
The St. Mary banner. (Franklin, Parish of St. Mary, La.) 1889-1931, 1912-05-04

Life is just one doggoned thing
after another. The lower house
of congress rises in it's might and
threatens to overwhelm US with
the disaster of free sugar, and now
the Mississippi river is rising in
it's might and threatens to mum
date US with entirely too free
water. A mixture of sugar and
water is all right in some cases,
but too much of a good thing is a
bad thing and too much of two
good things is worse.-Donaldson-
vile Chief.
The St. Mary banner. (Franklin, Parish of St. Mary, La.) 1889-1931, 1912-05-04

From present Indications as far
as we can foretell the future, we
do not think our sugar planters
need fear any alarm that the
sugar tariff will be repealed at
this session of Congress. The
bill will undoubtedly be killed
in the Senate. Even if it should
not, President Taft will assuredly
veto the job, evident as it is to us
that he cannot afford, at this
juncture of affairs, to commit
himself or his high tariff advo-
Gates to free trade attitude to-
wards any home industry. 1t
would greatly impair his chances
for the next Presidency, if he has
any chance at all, though little
ahead of Teddy in the game, with
the latter gaining all the time.

A vast agricultural development
