English Veraers.

English vergers no longer turn an honest shilling by admitting spectators to see royalty at church. But Il few years ago one in a certain country church thought of something even better. King Edward had been occu- pying one of the pews, and after sec ing his majesty depart the clergyman returned to find brisk business going on. The verger had seen a way to as- sist the church restoration fund by charging loyal parishioners a few pence each for the privilege of sitting for moment in the place still warmed with the royal presence; and he was astonished when the vicar summarily stopped the traffic.

The following squib which APP

''1here is nothing more impor-
tant than that we should take our
citizenship seriously. Some PEG
pie take it as a joke, some as a
game, some as a selfish purpose
and some as a chance to help
friends, or grind axes.
No man is worthy of citizenship
unless he regards it as a mission
and uses it for the common good
to free his fellow men from every
kind of servitude and oppression
and make them their own levers
to raise themselves to better es-
tate. Citizenship is a duty and
every man who has a high ideal
of life, who makes it brave and
serviceable has right to be called
a citizen and no other should be
enrolled upon the roll of honor.
A citizen is a man who honors
his city, his State and his nation
by living right and doing good.
Such a one regards citizenship Sc
riously. The duty of citizenship
is committed to each man as a
trust to be discharged always for
the common welfare and the high
er purpose
A bollot is to be used for the
benefit of mankind and not for the
advantage of individuals.

The Constitutional Amend
ments.

At the November election that is
Just one month off, now the voters
of the State of Louisiana will have
submitted to them several pro-
posed amendments that will bring
about changes in the Constitution
as it now stands and while The
Enterprise has published them in
supplement form each week since
the last week in August, Jas have
papers in every parish of the State,
we doubt if even the smallest pro-
portion of the voters anywhere
has carefully read them all. AS 1t
would be difficult for the casual
reader to take in the full meaning
of these amendments on account
of the many technical terms used,
we will give a synopsis of each
one so that our readers who have
not the time to read them at length
can get the gist of what they will
be called upon to vote for next
month, The 1St amendment deals
with registration, and says in part:
No male person who was on Janu-
airy lSt, 1867. or at any date prior
thereto, entitled to vote under the
Constitution or Statutes OF any State
Of the United States, wherein he then
resided, and no son or grandson OF
any such person, not less than Il years
of age on the 1St day of May 1912, and
no male person of foreign birth, who
was naturalized prior to the lst day
of January. 1898, shall be denied the
right TO register and vote in this
State by reason of his failure to pos
SeSs the educational or property quail

ceding the date at which he shall APP

terms of this Article prior to Sep

convention and was invited to de-
liver an address Wednesday at
ternoon. excusing himself from
the Shreveport delegation IL order
TO 90 to the Auditorium. lie pom
ted out four reasons why the pro-
posed waterway should be created.
First. it would mean the bringing
to the United States of the machl-
merry used in the construction OF
the wonderful Panama canal,
thereby making the bic project on
the Mississippi possible.
Secondly, it would avoid the
possibility of another disaster like
that of last year, when so many
lives and such great property we're
lost. Third, it would establish
confidence all over the county in
the value of lands, about 2O,OoO,-
600 acres back of the levces OF
the Misslssippland tributaries now
subject to overflow, Fourth, it
would mean better sanitation,
freeing the section from mosqul
toes. gnats and other stagnant
water insects, and freeing 1t from
malaria
The proposed 14-foot channel,
said DR.. AsweIl, concerns the
North as we'll as the south, The
canal, lcvees and channel are all
one question, he said.
The Panama canal cannot be
utilized by the interior of the
country till the channel is built.
1t would benefit the coast but
there would be inequality in COM
petition, and the channel can't be
built till the levees are made per
manent. All of those who have
interested themselves in the ques-
ton agree that the proposed I'M
provement, will take place, said
DR.. AsweIl, for Congress is to
act in accordance with the public
sentiment and this waterway con-
vention. as well as the levee meet
ing il Memphis this week, are for
the purpose of creating that ne
cessary sentiment.

Senator RansdeIl SAYS h 4 t
RoosevelU's proposition to build
basins to prevent the overflow OF
the Mississippi River is impracti-
cal and having been at the head of
the Rivers and Harbors CONGRESS
for a long time, our Senator IS
considered an authority on lcVees
and waterways in the United States
and knows whereof he speaks.
"You can't by any system OF
basins control the tlo0ds,7 said
Senator Ransdell, for Il number
of reasons.
''In the first place, any system
that would call for basins to hold
these flood waters would mean that
the territory in the basin would be
flooded. and here you would over
flow just as much land as YOU
would by floods lower in the val
lev.
Then again, how could you con-
troll the floods if the floods occur
red below your basin!

Save the Peach Trees.

The san Jose scale is one of the
worst enemies of the peach tree
and is killing the orchards in
Aatchitoches Parish and vicinity.
The writer has examined few
orchards within the past fc W
months. and has found without
execution that they are heavily
infested with this perniclous scale.
The first symptom Of scale II
festation, on plum as well as peach,
is the dying of the limbs, usually
at the tips of the small ones first,
the larger branches surviving Ion
Ger. The trees has a grayish,
scurfy appearance, and if the fin
cernail or knife blade be rubbed
over the surface of Il badly infcs-
tested limb, the scale Will be turn
ed over and the round bodies Of
the yellow insects will be visible
The egg matches within the body
of the mother scale and the young
are very active when first born.
They crawl from under the Old
scale and for the first few hours
are very busy finding a location
usually not more h an tW 0
inches from the mother scale,
the bcak is inserted into the sap
and feeding begins. The secre,
tions of the body form Il scale over
the insect. which grows from a
tiny speck to be as large as the
head Of pin. The females lose
their legs, eyes, and fo2lors, never
moving from the first feeding
place.
The multiply very rapidly and
soon literally cover the tree, suck
ing the sap to such an extent that
tree rarely survives.
After many experiments by dlt-
ferent experiments stations, the
lime uIphur wash" has been
found most satisfactory for this
pest Directions for making this
are given 4.Circlar No. 4 Of the
Elop e. .direc,
tions given are about As fl
Material Stone lime 81 lbs, ~soS<
phur Is lbs; water 80 cal. Direc-
tons Place few gallons of water
in an iron kettle and bring to a
boil. Mix the sulphur with water
and make a thick paste while the
water is heating. AS soon as the
water boiIs. put the sulphur paste
into the boiling water and stir Wig
orously, then put in the rock lime
and a violent boiling will benin.
Stir and add enough water to keep
thin and boil for thirty-tiye min
utes. Add enough water, hot or
cold, to make 80 gallons and APP
ply.
The limc-suIphur- wash should be
applied this fall as soon as the
leaves fall from the trees, and
should be applied again before the
buds come in the spring if the or
chard is heavily infested. 4 suit
able sprayer can be broughtthrough
the local hardware man or from

Y.
Peaches do well on these sandy
lands, but such pests as these must
be guarded against. The market
for peaches was good last season,
but most Of those put on the mar
ket were consumed at once, and
very few were canned. Thousands
Of dollars worth of canned peaches
will be imported into the State
from California and other States,
when a large part of these could
be put up at home and put on the
local markets and keep the money
at home. This work comes at a
time when there is not much else
to do on the farm and the small
farmer who gives his home orchard
attention will be double. paid for
his time. and have a better living
at home besides.
