Some one has advanced the opinion
that the the letter ''e'' is the most un-
fortunate character in the English al
phabet, because it is always out of
cash, forever in debt, never out of dan
ger, and in hell all the time. For some
reason he overlooked the fortunates of
the letter, so we call his attention to
the fact that ''e'' is never in war and
always in peace. 1t is the beginning of
existence, the commencement of ease
and the end of trouble. Without it
there would be no meat, no life no
heaven. 1t is the center of honesty,
makes love perfect and without it there
woMld be no editors, devils, nor news.

GERMAN CROPS ARE
REPORTED FAILURE

The Hague, Aug. 3.-Here is bad
news which has good side for the
American farmer. For more than 2
months Germany and Holland have
been suffering from a great drought
There have been bitter northeast winds
and severe frosts at night, that so
late as June 24 ruined the buckwheat
and seriously damaged the potato crop
in the sandy districts. The rye, too,
has suffered great DEAL and the
beet crop has been frosted by night
and scorched by day. The water
courses between the meadows of
Friesland have run dry and grass is
so scarce that the farmers have to
feed hay to their cattle.
Grievous as is the drought in Ho-
land it is less severe than the drought
in Germany. From private letters
received here it appears that the
scorching heat and drought have
ruined the chances of good harvest.
The grass is burned brown and cat
tie are being fed with the leaves of
trees.
Fruit is drying up and dropping
| from the trees. The one thing of
which there is plenty is potatoes, and
the authorities are urgir" the nnoule
to eat potatoes two or three times a
day instead of grain foods, ana also
to boil potatoes and dry them and put
them away for winter use.
The government of Holland is deal
ing energetically with the subject Of
foods and food prices. Since the in
stitution of April 26 last, of the gov
ernment central bureau for the dis
tribution of cheap pork to the poorer
families 6,195,510 Kilograms (about
$4,000, 900 pounds) have been distrib-
uted at about % cents kilogram less

ment has done much for the people

Greatest Rear Guard
Battle Ever Known

Petrograd, Aug. 2.-The Russians
are fighting the most magnificent
rear guard action in history. Small
forces along the Narew west of War
#aw are checking the Germans, but
The main armies of Grand Duke
Nicholas are steadily retreating to-
ward the new line. Won Hindenburg's
desperate efforts to smash the Narew
line have been foiled.
Thousands Of Germans have been
Withdrawn from the western lines to
reinforce Won Hindenburg, giving the
British and French favorable oppor-
tmity to launch an offensive, but none
has been attempted.
War Minister Polivanoff addressed
the Duma today and declared the big
Russian crops have enabled the Slavs
to continue the war for several years
longer. He said Germany must be
beaten at all costs, otherwise Europe
will be Teutonized.
All reports agree that the Germans
are losing heavily in attempting to
smash the SIav rear guards. AT some
points the Russian counter attacks
have forced the Germans to yield
ground
The Germans used vast clouds of
poison gases, following artillery
firing.
Won Buelow is attacking the
Russians at the northern end of the
battle line, but the result is unde-
cided.

Evangeline Banner: People in the city
and the rural districts are aware that the
boss system is founded upon the open sa-
loon; the one creates the other, which in
its turn helps to perpetuate its creator. As
we have stated there are hundreds of peo-
pie in New Orleans who know these condi-
tons exist; they want to accomplish the
obstruction of these two great curses and
correct the moral political and economic
conditions that prevail, but they are in the
minority; are hold down by force of num-
bsrs. To rid the State of these political
conspirators we must destroy the avenues
through which they work. The people of
New Orleans can never stem the tide of
corrupt practices that bid fair to ruin this
State unless the country assists as unit.
