full mushroom farmer, Prof. ]. Bou-
verie, the French entomologist, has
found that a certain wood boring
beetle known as the bostryshide Is as
familiar with mushroom cultivation
for home consumption as the. ant.
Prof Bouverie discovered that the
beetles bore holes in wood and half
fill them with prepared fungus
which makes an ideal mushroom bed.
The garden Is carefully spawned and

mushrooms appear. in this way the
beetle provides itself with a food

Special to The State.
Newberry, Feb. 16.-Sheriff Blease
from Attorney General McReynolds
at Washington asking him to release
Milton A. Carlisle from Jail, where
he was undergoing sentence of one
year committed from five years. Mr..
Carlisle was Immediately released
and went to his home in this city.
He was much affected by the execu-
tive clemency, which he was not ex-
pecting.
Mr.. Carlisle was convicted in the
United States court in Greenville
some years ago of violating the fed
eral banking laws while president of
the National bank of Newberry, and
was sentenced by Judge Brawley to
five years in the Atlanta prison. AT
ter the conviction was confirmed on
appeal to the court of appeals. Pres
ident Wilson commuted the sentence
to one year and permitted it to be
served in the Newberry Jail instead
of the Atlanta federal prison.
Mr.. Carlisle entered upon his SEN
tence August 1, 1913. An appeal
was made for a pardon, the appeal
being based on Mr.. Carlisle's ad-
vanced age, being over 72 years and
in feeble health. The clemency ex-
tended by the president in this case
will meet with general approval, con-
sidering all the circumstances of the

Los ANGELES GREAT FEAT.
Pipes Its Drinking Water from
Mountains 26O Miles AWAY.
From the indianapolis News.

From the Indianapolis News.
Los Angeles has just demonstrated what
a city can accomplish when the proper
spirit of public service and enterprise is
shown. Eight years ago. when Los Ange-
les had population considerably under
10000, the municipal water supply was
insufficient and was deficient in quality.
Its daily flow was scarcely enough for
current needs-and the demands on it
were increasing month by month. Some
thing had to be done quickly, and to
appreciate fully what was done one must
take look at the map of California.
The great coast state is a commonwealth
Of anomalies. Its immediate coast region
and certain of the favored interior re-
gions. such as the Santa Clara valley,
have an abundant water supply. But
other parts of the state, such as the vast
San Joaquin valley and the interior ter
ritory south of the Tehachipf, have
precarious supply.
Los Angeles lies south of the Tehachipi,
and ten or fifteen miles inland. The
nearest mountains are those of the YER
dant coast. range, and farther back lie
the snow-eearing Sierras. In order to
reach pure water of sufficient flow the
engineers had to plan an aqueduct 21o
miles long. Fred Eaton, formerly city
engineer, and later mayor of Los Ange-
les, was one of the earliest proponents
OF the vast undertaking. Later there ap-
peared another engineer of ability and
vigor-Willam Mulholland. The city did
most of the work itself. 1t constructed
the aqueduct. bored tunnels, erected
syphons. built dams. created reservoirs.
bridged canyons. passed over deserts and
through mountains The great work has
just been completed. Today the people
of Los Angeles are celebrating the turn
ing on of the water. The project cost
$50 coo, 600 but from now on-unless the
fountains of the lower Sierra dry up
the city is assured of a water supply
of 36O,0G0,000 gallons every twenty-four
hours.

Oh, how could Andy go away. Her
