MorthIess TrIbe Of Hottentots.

In the Port NoIloth district. South
Africa, is the Richtersyeld, IAN i'm
mense area occupied by handful OF
thriftless Hottentots, some sixty-five
families, or 400 members all told" So
thriftless are they, one reads. that as
often as not they eat up the seed
wheat supplied to them by the gov
eminent in seasons Of scarcity instead
of sowing it. The natural springs at
their doors are not utilized, but neg
lected, and sc a more Industrious and
energetic race of men is shut out and
debarred from doing justice to the
land. But they are a socialistic com
munity. When one kills a sheep or
goat all the others flock around to
help him eat 1t, and this applies to all
foodstuffs; hence the natives idleness.
He knows that II he works he will
fare no better than those who do not
work.

PRESIDENTS REPORT.

Vicksburg, Miss, May 10, 1912.
To the Members of the Board of Com
missioners for the Fifth Louisiana
Levee District.
Gentlemen-Levee conditions, stand
ards and requirements have all been
changed since January by the unpreced-
emily high and continued waters of 1912.
All of the members of the board and
every citizen of the district have been so
actively assisting in the work of protec-
ton that they are intimately acquainted
with the affairs Of the levees. 1t would
be an endless task to particularize, /
therefore say, that every one gave their
full effort in the high water fight of the
past six weeks.
There has been but one crevasse in our
line of $50 miles of levee, that at Salem
on the Willow Point loop, built in 1901
by the United States government, during
Col. Chas. L. Potter's administration,
Robert Nicholson contractor. The levee
was crevassed at station 300, about $50
feet from the junction of Willow Point
Loop with the old levee in the new loop
built in 19OO-190l, 20 miles south of Lake
Providence, and was due entirely to faul-
ty or poor foundation; other crevssses
had occurred here previously; and the
levee in 190O-l90i was built ON sand and
silt dunes made by previous crevasses. The
bermes and pits presented quick sandy
appearance with occasional sand boils
appearing every high water for several

TO KILL FLIES.
The following card was issued to assist
in the local campaign against flies: =
Rules for Dealing with the Fly.


The London Lancet, the leading medi-
cal journal in the world, says that the
best and simplest fiy-killer is weak So
luton of formaldehyde in water 1.-TWO tea
spoonfuls to the pint.) Place in plates
or saucers throughout the house. Ten
cents worth of formaldehyde will last an
ordinary family all summer. 1t has no
offensive smell, is fatal to disease organ
isms, and is practically non-poisonous ex-
cept to insects.
Pyrethum powder, which may be bought
at any drug store, burned in the house
will also kill the flies.
Keep the flies away from the sick, es-
pecially those i'll with contagious diseases.
Kill every fly that strays into the sick
room. His body is covered with disease
germs.
Do not allow decaying material of any
sort to accumulate in or near your prem
ises.
All refuse which tends in any way to
fermentation, such as bedding straw, pa
per waste and vegetable matter should
be disposed of or covered with lime or
kerosene oil.
Screen all food, whether in the house
or exposed for sale.
Keep all receptacles for garbage care
fully covered and the cans cleaned or
sprinkled with oil or lime.
Keep all stable manure in vault Of pit,
screened or sprinkled with lime, oil or
other cheap preparations, such as are
sold by a number of reliable manufac-
turers.
See that your sewerage system is in
good order; that it does not leak, is up
to-date and is not exposed to the flies.
Pour kerosene into the drains.
Burn or bury all table refuse.
Screen all windows and doors, especial
ly in the kitchen and dining room.
If you see flies you may be sure that
their breeding place is in nearby filth.
1t may be behind the door, under the
table or in the cuspidor.
If there is no DIRT and filth there will
be no flies.
II there is nuisance in the neighbor-
hood write at once to the health depart
ment.

Believe Always In Right.

Sometimes when you are worn and
weak with the struggle; when 1t
seems that justice is a dream, that
honesty and loyalty and truth count
for nothing, that the devil is the only
good paymaster; when hope grows
dim and fickers, then is the time
when you must tower in the great
sublime faith that right must pre-
vail, then must you throttle these
imps OF doubt and despair, you must
master yourself to master the world
around you. This is conquest; this
IL what counts.-From Self-Control By

luvial district will have more stable
value by reason of the security that the
assumption by the United States govern
ment of caring for the levees will give to
the alluvial lands.
Going little out of the limit OF re-
port to the levee board would suggest
a meeting of the engineers, both state
and United States, levee boards and 9TH
er levee people in the very near future to
discuss the recent high water, how de-
fects can best be remedied in old levees,
what improvements can be made in new
levees, to try to get from the conference
experience of every one, what is best to
be done to get a uniformity in grade,
section and shrinkage and generally
whatever may conduce to the improve
ment, security and strength of the levees
from Cairo to the Gulf; and then present
the result of the conference to the Missis-
sippi river commission for its considers
ton and revision.
This is the first disastrous and general
overflow since 1882, just 80 years ago
and no part of the agricultural section of
America has been so long without gen.
eral failure of crop.
The expense of the high water has been
great, with little permant benefit to the
levee. One dollar spent during low water
in building and repairing levees is worth
more than ten spent during the season OF
high water, even for temporary protec-
ton; and I earnestly urge all levee au-
thorities to strain every nerve to intelli-
gently and actively prosecute levee work
as soon as the water recedes so~that il
can be done advantageously.
Fortunately the board will not have
to borrow any money to pay high water
expenses, but serious inroads will b
Vsde on the funds which it was hoped
could be expended during the season o.
I91c IN general improvement of the levet
system.
Congress responded almost immediate
ly to an appeal for emergency appropria
ton, and / wish in the name of the board
to commend in the highest terms the &C
tivity displayed by the Louisiana delega
ton in congress in urging said appropri
alton. The work done by United State
and state engineers and their assistant
was limited only by the power Of endur
ance.
i Fortunately there was a great numbe
of levee outfits at work in the distric
and all the contractors responded prompt
ly and did good work; and all the lov
places in the district were topped to stan'
a gauge at Vicksburg of "a feet.
All of the high water bills have no
been paid but will be during the month
and the full statement will be publishe'
in the semi-annual report, which is mad
up to June LIST from all receipts and dis
bursements from December LIST, 1911, +
that date.

have the greater grade, remedying defects
which seip has disclosed. With late crops,
and probably small ones, how are the
taxes to be paid? The produce tax will
be according to the crop; and if there is
small crop, how can the other taxes be
paid? Because of several lean years all
the planters are dependent on each crop,
where then will the revenue come from?
/ recommend that the usual taxes be
not assessed, for the present However, /
recommend bond issue; that the legis-
lature now in session be asked to author
ize the levee board to issue one-haf mil
lion dollars per cent 1850 year bonds
1.-THE Indebtedness of the board is now
one-half million per cent 1850 year
bonds of date19O1 and 19O3)
This is question of the board borrow
ing money at 8 per cent to carry on the
work or the tax payer borrowing at to
10 per cent to pay his taxes; both the
principal and interest comes out of the
tax payer finally.
If the bond recommended is considered
favorably, committee should be ap-
ointed to meet and confer with Governor
Hall and the Senators and Representa-
tives from the Fifth Louisiana Levee Dis
trict and secure their assistance and adj
vice. If an act is passed authorizing the
issue of bonds and they can be foated in
time to provide the necessary funds l rec
ommend that the board meet and assess
only such taxes as will be needed for i'm
mediate necessities. In the event, how
ever, that the bond issue is not made the
usual taxes viii have to be assessed, as it
is absolutely necessary to do great deal
of levee work in addition to what the
United States and State will undertake.
1t would be suicidal not at least TO repair
the ravages of the high water of 1912 and
raise the grade of the low stretches Of
levees.
