A second letter addressed by DR.. Os-
car Bowling, president Of the state
board OF health, to the mayors of the
cities and towns of the state, urges
the necessity for a statewide clean up
campaign for the prevention of bu-
bonic plague. The mayors are re-
quested by DIR. Dowling to designate
two days for this purpose.
Suggestions as to the proper
methods OF prevention to be employed
are contained in the letter. The de-
struction Of all trash and debris, the
use Of sanitary garbage cans, and a
campaign of rate determination are
urged.
Already a number of Louisiana
towns have taken steps to guard
against possible plague invasion.
With a total of eight plague cases
to date, three deaths resulting, federal
state and city health authorities this
week will vigorously continue their
fight for the eradication of the con-
tagion here. 1t is expected that the
daily rat catch of 1000 will be in
creased before the week ends, al
dftional troops are being placed and
the force at work in the field is be-
coming more expert under the tute-
lage Of a corps of expert rodentologists
from San Francisco. The poison
squad is also doing deadly execution.

took place on board the Komegata
Maru Sunday when the ships officers
asked shore aid in handling their bel
hgerent passengers. The Hindus, it
was said. used force in preventing the
officers from getting the ship under
way. The Komagata has been in the
harbor three months, during which the
Hindus have been in an ugly mood and
this has been intensified since the Do
minion government decided that they
are undesirable aliens and not entitled
to entry.
The expense of the trip to VAN
'couver was borne by Gurdit Singh. a
wealthy Hindu, who chartered the
vessel. During the long stay in port,
while their status was being deter
mined. the Hindus have been provis-
ioned both by their countrymen ashore
and the British Columbian authorities.

About so per cent of the cards re-
turned to headquarters so far have
been in favor of recall, according to
Chairman Cant, who estimates that,
when all returns have been received,
at least 40 per cent of the actual quail :
fed voters of the city of Pensacola will
have gone on record in favor of the
recall election. This is 100 per cent
more than necessary to insure the

How to Move Big Grain Crop

lent among country elevator men in
Kansas. Expressions from terminal
elevator points indicate there will be
shortage in all states.
1t is concensus Of opinion that the
increase in car supply does not keep
pace from year to year with increas-
ing need for care. The department
says that with the indications this
year for a heavy crop of corn and
oats the movement Of those comnno-
dities will still further compIcate the
Situation as regards wheat. The opin-
ion prevails in some sections that any
shortage this year will be due more to
lack of motive power and terminal ia
cilities than to lack of cars. One Of
the greatest draw backs has been fail
ure to load and unload promptly and
too frequent reconsigning Of ship
menta.

The weather-especially bad wealth er--has made a lot of history, and has had an influence, for good or bad. on much that it did not make outright. The weather in its worst moods becomes historic itself, of course, when It's be- havior becomes so violet that great storms destory cities. sink ships or le- .vasttes extensive areas of country. But in less strenuous temper it has had an important part in effecting the progress of human affairs, says the Kansas City Star.

Out in California the Rev. Dr. Aked, late of Liverpool. is in trouble over some of his too liberal opinions, says Pearson's Weekly. Dr. Aked is always very outspoSen. and not very long ago he shocked many people by declaring that there was such 9 thing as toe much zeal in religious matters.
 "Nefther with the heathen nor with our own people," he told us. does it do to advocate religion on mercenary grounds. For instance, I know a manu facturer who last Easter told all his hands that he would pay them if they went to church. The hands all agreed, and a fine show they made. The man. ufacturer scanning their ranks from his pew, swelled with joy and pride.
 'sBut after the service one of the foremen approached him.
 "'Excuse me, sir he said, but the fellows want me to ask you. if they come to church again tonight. do they get overtimeT"
 Another of Dr. Aked's stories is about an eccentric American who wanting to get married in a hurry, ar- a clergymans house after midnight and insisted on being married on the spot
 Very unwillingly the clergyman got out of bed, and having reused some members of his household to act as witnesses. he proceeded to tie the nup- tial knot
 Things went smoothly enough till he asked the American:
 Do you take this woman to be your lawfully welded wife

 It is not generally known that Mme. Edmond Adam introduced Pierre Lott to the public.

 Haven't you anything new? Just now have no novel that I think would please my subscribers Can't you find me 4 white blaelSbird?"
 Paul Calmann-Levy picked up a man uscript entitled "Azlyade" that had just been received fro mthe provinces.

 "A naval officer. I believe, wno wishes to keep his identity a secret" the publish- CT replied
 Mme. Edmond Adam skinned through several chapters and exclaimed: 'sBut this is delightful; may I have it?" And shortly afterward there appeared in the Revue the first work of the writer who later signed himself Pierre I,oti.
 "Le Marriage de Lott" which followed. was a revelation. The author described his own adventures under the romantic skies of Tahiti. All Paris went mad about Rarahu, the littles avage, who in the de- spair of unrequited love. cut off her own hand. Loti was famousl
