PANAMA, March 14.-John II. liar reli. a cotton planter from North Car olina, has just demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Panama Govern ment that long fibre cotton can be grown on Panama soil Negotiations are pending for concession og 25.000 acres on which to grow the staple on a large scale. For more than a year MT. Harrell has been expert menting on Q small plot Of ground at Balboa, the Pacific end of the Pana- ma Canal
 On his experimental farm he has grown cotton that has fibre from 215 to I inches long which is said to be longer than the cotton generally grown in the United States. The Az. ricultural Department of the Panama republic declares that the texture also is finer and more silky than any oth. CT cotton.
 The cotton here is the result of crossing the native wild cotton with that grown in North and South Car olina According to a government test made recently the cotton tested 90 per cent lint. Mir. Harrell believes that as result of hybridization he will be able to produce an oyer-bear- ing variety which will produce one crop in December and another in Jul ! ly. just before the rainy season begins in earnest
 The wild cotton which is found in many sections of Panama is believed to be originated from the cotton plants brought here during and i'm. mediatelv after the Civil War in the United States. For time thereafter considerable cotton was grown fin Panama but when the price became cheap and growing was resumed in the States it became unprofitable in | Panama.
 The Panama government is aiding Mir. Harrell in his experiments as also is the lsthmian Canal Commission in

 OXFORD. March 1.-The annual report of the Rhodes Trust shows that the American scholars during 1913 had better scholarship record than in any year since the system was started.
 The whole number of Rhodes schol- ars in residence during the year was 175. Altogether the Rhodes system now represents about an 18th part of the whole student body.
 Only three Rhodes scholars are working merely for a pass degree. Most of them are out for honors. and on the whole they seem to be stand ing the test of Oxford standards well except in classics. Only one first" was obtained in classics and this was by an American from the Pacific Coast In the other department the scholars held their own. In jurispre- dence they gained five frsts out of seven awarded.
 The question of what becomes of the Rhodes scholars after their many years of study is answered in the report.
 More than one-fourth of the 431 Rhodes men who have graduated from Oxford since the system was started have kept on with education as their life work. About 100 have turned to law; nearly 50 have gone into the civil service of the British Empire, the United States or Ger. many. 25 have become physicians, IS have gone into business; IS turned to the church; and small group is divided among journalism. agricul ture and science.
 Only eleven men are traced as hay ing taken up work in England, which seems to dispose of the criticism from the colonies that the Motherland would absorb a number of the schol ars.

PARIS March 14.-Dr. F. d'Hereile, the young French scientist who dis covered that variety of the cholera germ will exterminate locusts and other insect pests. has received mum. erous invitations from South Ameri. can countries to aid them in relief from these scourges of agriculture.
 Dr. dHerelle was studying condi- tions in Yucatan four years ago on be- half of the Pasteur Institute of Paris. when he observed that the locusts there were suffering from a disease of the intestine, resembling cholera in human beings He succeeded in iso- lating the coccobacillus.. After cuiti. vating 1t and heightening it's viru. lence, he made a solution which killed in twenty-four hours.
 The method is to sprinkle the solu- ton on the grass where the insects feed. The first experiment tried in the Argentine exterminated the To- custs within a radius of fifty miles.
 Dr. d'Herelle returned twice to the Argentine at the invitation of the gov ernment, but his process was so eff. cacious that it aroused the deter mined opposition of the 1900 employ es of the Agricultural Department, engaged in fighting insect plaques, who saw their employment vanishing. He declined to fulfill his mission un. der these circumstances and returned to Paris. His method has been used with great effect in Algeria. In Colom- bia and Venezuela 1t is compulsory now. and he has been invited by the British and Turkish governments to conduct campaigns in Cyprus and smyrna, both devastated by locusts.

the children are left behind to freeze or starye, unless outside relief is brought to them"
 A sad story of the famine district is told by the Rev. Ohigan Takaha. shi. a missionary. A tenant in Yu- bari district whose wife was dying from starvation and illness, stole ba of potatoes from his landlord. The wife was grateful for the kind ness of her husband, but said: "l do not wish to live any longer if it must be on stolen food" and urged him to return the goods.
 The husband. conscience stricken. was carrying back the potatoes when he met the landowner. He confessed his theft, and asked forgiveness. The landowner was impressed by the sad story, and not only forgave | the offense, but made a gift of the | potatoes to the farmer. The happy man returned home-and found his wife hanging dead.
 The husband then hanged himself. ! The Japanese have organized na- tional relief assc citation. Contribu- tions have been generous and have been swelled by receipts from char ity performances arranged by both Japanese and foreigners. The sym pathy and contributions from the United States have made a profound impression on the Japanese people. The government will also alleviate the situation by setting aside money for engineering works in the affected district. thus affording employment for the sufferers and placing money in circulation.

WILSON JUMPS ON RICH MEN !
IN HIS TRUST TALK

IN HIS TRUST TALK
Washington, D. c., Jan. 20.-Blam
ing the interlocking Of the director
ates of great corporations, banks,
railroads, industrial, commercial and
public service bodies for the present
trust system, President Wilson dis
cussed needed, antitrust legislation
in his address to Congress today, and
in discussing the evils which result
from such interlocking, the president
caustically attacked the group of
millionaires who in themselves, by
reason of their enormous holdings of
stocks in numerous corporations,
constitute virtual monopoles.
The high spots of the message are:
Legislation is a business of inter-
probation, not of originatioh.
Big business men, after denying
existence of monopoly, now admit its
existence. The average business man
is convinced that ways of liberty are
ways of peace or success as well.
Our object is not to unsettle bust
ness or seriously break it's establish
ed course. 80 -
We desire the new laws to be bull
warks of industry against the forces
that have disturbed it. & 80
Business waits for laws which will
effectually prevent and prohibit inter-
locking of personnel Of directories
of great corporations. ~
This prohibition will bring new
men, new energies, spirit Of initia-
tive, new blood into the management
of great enterprises.
The country wants law permit
ting the interstate commerce COM
mission to be superintendent and
regulate financial operations to sup
ply the railroads with money for
operations, etc.
Illegal monopolistic practices
should be, explicitly and item by item
forbidden in specific terms.

HACKERS OF MCCORMICK GET IN
THE WAY OF DEMOCRATS
President cCormick's Progressive
minority in the County Board belied
their names yesterday, blocking ev-
cry effort of the Democrats to do
business.
a resolution to appropriate money
with which the states attorneys Of
fee could clear up it's bills was killed.
County Treasurer O'Connell's offer
to turn over to the county 1888, 900
interest on county money was block
ed when the minority voted against
it. Mccormick said he had reason to
believe the amount should be $780,
900, and that O'Connell was with
holding the balance
The resolution was so worded that
the 1898, 900 was not final payment,
but was merely on account. If it was
found later that more money was
coming to the county the way would
have been open to collect it.
Democrats passedya resolution for
an investigation of a report that
Richard E. Schmidt, county archi-
tect, and DR.. John A. Hornsby, hos
pital expert, were publishing maya
zine. It was intimated that adver-
tisers might be getting work on the
new hospital"
A resolution introduced by Com
missioner Coonley and supported by
the minority, protested against the
presence of States Attorney Hoyne
or his assistants sitting as advisers to
the Democrats, and said they would
refuse longer to submit ITO such inn
proper interference with the auton-
omy' of the body.
The resolution provided plenty of
fireworks, but the ProgressiVes
couldn't find any way to enforce it.

B. WYNHOVEN
VISITS OPELOUSAS
Distinguished Morning Star
Editor Delivers Address to
Catholic Congregation.

Rev. Father B. Wynhoven,
of New Orleans, the dis
tinguished editor of the Morn
ing Star, official Catholic organ
of the Archdiocese of New Or
leans, was a visitor to this city
on last Sunday and delivered a
forceful address on Education
without Religion
Father Wynhoven, who is one
of the best posted men on this
subject in the South pointed out
that education without religion
was a farce, a blow to civiliza-
ton. The distinguished p~relate
argued that no matter of what
religious belief one should attend
school where he can be taught
not only the fundamental princl-
pies of education but be taught
that religion is the true basis OF
all education. He quoted the
opinion of some of the most dis
tinguished educators in the
United States on this subject, all
agreeing that Education with
out Religion was not education
whatever, but knock at civiliza-
ton. Among those whom Faith
er Wynhoven mentioned were
some Of the most prominent
Protestant clergies and laymen
in the United States.
The sermon delivered by the
widely known editor of the
Morning Star was received with
a great deal of interest by the
several hundred people who at
tended the Catholic Church on
last Sunday morning.
