WEATHER CHIEF IS
HERE To SEE: AIDS

Plans discussed by weather experts
holding a convention today at the
Georgian Terrace are expected to be OF
material benefit to the farmers of the
United States
The experts. fourteen in number. are
thoroughly in earnest, and most of them
have ideas which will prove most val
liable if carried out Every one of
them is pushing his plan. toe. and it
now seems that there will be at least
fourteen new ways to help the farmer
and also the agricultural output-by
the time the convention is over.
Professor Willis L, Moore, head of
the weather bureau of the United
States. arrived in Atlanta at II o'clock
today and went Immediately to the ho-
tel where the convention is being held.
This afternoon he will address the
chiefs of prominent weather sub-sta-
tons throughout the Southern and
Central states. who are attending the
convention.
Urge Use of Bulletins.
lust what Professor Moore's theme
will be Is not known, nor will he tell
He said that he expected to make a
speech before the convention OF repre-
sentatives Of agricultural colleges be-
fore he left Atlanta, and it is probable
that the question of cooperation be-
tween the weather bureau and farmer
will be thoroughly discussed.
The weather delegates this morning
unanimously passed a resolution ask
ing Professor Moore to return to the
use of agricultural bulletins, which
formerly were sent to farmers almost
everywhere by the department. This
was discontinued several years ago
but the experts believe that it will be
of great assistance in the cooperative
work of the department. Congressman

and his remarks led to the passage of
the resolution.

convention are Professor Moore, Pro

AN IMMENSE AREA
IS UNDER WATER
Two Serious Breaks In Missis.
sIppI River Levees.

Greenville, Miss, April 1.-THE Mis-
sissippi is taking its 1.-THE in Southern
Arkansas and Northern Louisiana. The
flood Is pouring through two gaps in
the levee-at Panther Fork In Arkan-
sas and near Roosevelt, La, over fer
tile fiat lands in the Louisiana-Arkan-
sas delta. 1t is estimated that thou
sand square miles in East Carroll and
Madison parishes, Louisiana, and Chi
cot and Dasha counties, Arkansas, are
flooded.
Thousands of families may be made
homeless
The latest breaks are regarded as
the most serious that have occurred
since the flood set in. In the territory
which will be inundated populous viii
lagos are numerous and Arkansas City
and Lake Village, Ark, and Lake
Providence, Tallulah and Delhi, La.
and other important towns are direct
ly in the path of the overflow.
While the damage to property will
be heavy 1t is not believed the loss OF
life will be large. When the levees
collapsed couriers were sent from
every point reached by telephone to
warn those living in remote sections.

ROOSEVELT WINS
IN KEYSTONE STATE
Captures Slxty:flve Of Psnnsy|-
vania's Delegates.

Philadelphia, April 15.-Colonel The
odore Roosevelt's sweeping victory In
Pennsylvania at Saturdays primary
election grew as the returns continued
to come in.
Incomplete returns from every dis
trict give the former president sixty
five of the states seventy-six dele
gates in the Republican national con.
vention. The Roosevelt supporters
are claiming sixty-seven and later re-
turns may carry figures to that total.
Colonel Roosevelt won fifty-three of
the sixty-four district national dele
gates and hi" followers elected enough
delegates to the state convention to
give them control of that body. The
state convention will name twelve
delegates at large.
Governor Woodrow Wilson of New
Jersey, who had no organized opposi-
ton, will have seventy-four of the
seventy-six delegates from Pennsylva-
MIA in the Democratic national con-
vention. In the Twenty eighth con-
gressional district the two Democratic
national delegates elected are favor

The ROCKING Of Lake Erie.

The $50 mile trough of Lake Erie lies
approximately in the direction Of the
west to southwest winds which prevail
In that part Of the country. Thus the
lake offers an excellent opportunity for
studying the effects Of the wind upon
a large body of inclosed water, and
very interesting these effects some
times prove. Rhythmic gusts produce
a rocking motion and great blows from
the west or southwest sweep the liquid
body of the lake eastward and some
times cause rise of eight feet or
more at Buffalo in the course Of few
hours. AS soon as the maximum force
of the gale has passed the water
swings back. Continued BOOKINGS are
observed on days when the strength of
the wind fiuctuates.

READ WORD "PAPA" AS POPE
Error in Interpretation Cause Of An.
nouncement Of Death.

Madrid, April 1.-THE erroneous re-
port of the pope's death originated
through a telegram which was sent to
an attache at the papal nunciature an
nouncing the death of his father. The
word used was papa" which means
either pope or father.
The attache assumed that it was the
pope who was dead and he so In
formed the Spanish government.
Premier Canalejas in turn commun-
seated the news to the reporters. They
flashed the report over the world.
King Alfonso and members of the cab
met were informed and sent messages
of coincidence to the nunciature. The
papal nuncio was absent when the
messages arrived and the mistake was
not discovered until he returned.

And see the sun In battle with the

With fire and ice and torrent, but at

And beauty all might envy, and store
OF wealth to be an heirloom for all

My forests caught the winds and
played with them:
My rivers swept between enclosing
bluffs
That lay a league apart: my prairies
spread
Like carpets, fower-strewn, whereon
the year,
With stately steps to suit the season,
danced;
And everywhere my little lakes were

To CO tch the sky and bring it to my
breast.
/ won my name of Minnesota So
The land of sky-tilled water. Even SO.
Then came within my valleys tribes

They claimed me from the beasts; they
fought for me
Among themselves till ill my peace
was rent.
Ny mirrors of the sky were stained
with blood,
NV forests sheltered treachery, and
death
Instead of sprineine life, vas in my
fields.
Then Gitche Msnitou, tho Mighty One,
Who holds tho wide earth on his

And draws the grass blade from the
sod of love-
This Mighty Spirit saw that mans
Wild heart

And hinderlng the work the gods
would do.
Aud SO he flung q signal on the sky
To call the chiefs of all the warning
tribes
To one great Council Fire. From

From south to farthest north, he sent
the sign.
And all the people saw and under

And called truce, and sent their

To form circle, open to the sky.

Through all the forest, and the nuts

And all the yellow maize is

Upon the sleepy land, and you will
