MIR. Burt's Products Win Medals

Mr.. Burt's Products Win Medals.
Mr.. j. D. Kenney, of New Orleans,
manager of the Monteleone Hotel, and
who, we presume, was member of the
commission in charge of arranging for
an exhibit from this State at the Pan
ama-Pacific Exposition, has written Mr..
E. S. Burt of this place in part as fol-
lows:
"We note you are the proud possessor
of many medals at the Pan-American
Exposition for your excellent products,
and carried off honors on hay, cotton,
corn, peanuts, etc. This is certainly
fine business and lends glory to the
whole State"
The products referred to were from
this parish and were taken from exhibits
made at the State Fair. The corn,
cotton and peanuts were from Mr.. Burt's
place. Also, it will be remembered that
he captured a number of premiums at
the last Parish and State Fairs. It oc-
ours to US that as successful farmer he
is making record he should feel justly
proud of.

Dominion Of Canada.

Canadians are accustomed to take
expression Of the Dominion" of Cana
da for granted, but the origin Of that
somewhat unusual term is known to
very few When the great scheme of
Sir John Macdonald was finally real
lied and the nine provinces grouped
themselves together into one great con-
federation a serious difficulty was pre-
scented by the choice of a suitable
name. For a time almost a deadlock
ensued. At length one old member of
parliament rose from his seat and told
his colleagues that he had read in his
Bible that very morning the words.
Ills dominion shall be from the one
sea to the other" Accordingly he sug-
gested that Canada should be known
as the Dominion, or Gods Land. The
suggestion seized upon the hearts and
imaginations Of those present, and it
was promptly acted upon. = Toronto

"Homemade."

When the baker or confectioner ad-
vertises that his bread or his cake is
homemade" he hopes to attract Gus
toners, but many things homemade"
come not quite up to the market stand
ard. There is the skirt, so labored
over, SO taken apart and put together
again, SO pulled and pressed, yet rarely
with quite the air that "store clothes"
have, and the hat or bonnet, call it
which you will, it, too, falls short Of
public promenade styles. There like
wise is the hair cut" for Billy-really
it does suggest the guidance Of a hol-
lowed out pumpkin, but how about
Billy himself and Jenny? Are they
homemade" or ''schoolmade?" Do they
bear marks of the mother touch and
the father guidance? We hope so.
Nothing SO good as a homemade boy
or girl-stronger in character, richer in
nature, than any product of any insti-
tution.-Christian Register

How Pausanius Died.

Pausanius, the Greek general, died
by self administered poison. When
hotly pursued by those sent to appre-
bend him on a charge Of treason and
sacrilege he took refuge in the sane
tuary Of a temple. Unable to remove
him by force and also unwilling to VIC
late the sanctuary, the officers walled
up the entrance and began to unroof
the building. When he could be seen
they noticed that he was chewing
something which proved to be quill
filed with poison. By the time the
work had sufficiently advanced to adj
nit of their entrance he was in a dy-
ing condition.

RATES MAY eE
GOVERNED BY TIE STATE

st. Paul-State control OF tele
phone rates and service win be
one of the results of the 1915 legisla-
tive session in Minnesota. The only
question seems to be, what form will
state regulation take? There is live
ly struggle on at the state capitol on
the telephone question, but it is over
details of the regulation measures, and
not on the bills as a whole.
The battle is openly fought between
the Northwestern Telephone Exchange
company and the Tri-State Telephone
company. About 900 independent COM
panies are interested, most of them
1artizans of the Tri-State company.
while a respectable minority is siding
with the Bell interests in the battle
over provisions of the pending bills.
The battle is continued over from
the 1913 session, when the Minnette.
Holmberg telephone bill furnished one
Of the sensations. 1t was bill putting
control of the telephone business un-
der the state railroad and warehouse
commission, and it's chief feature was
one for physical connection between
competing systems on toll messages.
The bill passed both houses with very
little opposition.

Representative Bryan OF Washington.
The resolution was drawn by the COM
mittee on the federal constitution
with headquarters in Brooklyn, N. Y,
composed of many prominent men,

REVOLVING FUND FOR
CLEARING STATE LANDS

St. Paul.-This week there comes
before the house the proposal to
submit to the people a constitu
tional amendment authorizing a re
volving fund for clearing state land
and northern Minnesota is aroused
because, when this measure came be
for the house last week, it was threat
ened seriously with defeat. In fact
action on the measure was postponed
by friends who felt that it might have
been killed had it gone to a vote on
that occasion.
While northern Minnesota legisla-
tors are unit in favor Of such ar
amendment it's actual and origina
father is Senator Patrick H. McGar
ry, pioneer of northern Minnesota, the
man who plated the now thriving
village of Walker on the shore Of
Leach lake.

RUSSIANS TAKE DEFENSIVE
Germans Claim Progress in Bukowina
While Austrians Sweep as Far
East as Czernowitz.

London, Feb. 16.-The sustained
Austro-German pressure on the eastern
front with the admission by Petrograd
that the Russians plan to assume the
defensive on their own territory, is a
feature of the military situation.
The Germans claim to have made
progress in Bukowina, and unofficial
advices from Budapest even say tha,
the Austrians have swept as far east
as Czernowitz, although the latest Of
ficial communication from Vienna does
not SO state.
However, it is claimed that Nadwor-
ma, in southeastern Galicia, has been
occupied by them.
There is no noteworthy change in
the western theater. The Germans
took about 1000 yards of trenches
south of Ypres, but the allies partially
balanced this by capturing about 800
yards between Bethune and La Bassee
The British public is centering it's
interests now in the outcome of the
German so-called blockade of British
waters, due to begin on Thursday.

NEED $4,000, 600 A MONTH
FOR RENEF OF BELGiANs

New York, Feb. l6-All agencies en-
gagged in Belgian relief must occupy
themselves for the present with the
immediate tasks of providing bread
for the total population of Belgium
and of supplying all food for one-fifth
of that population, which is wholly
dependent upon charitable aid, ac-
cording to the second report of the
relief commission sent abroad by the
Rockefeller Foundation to investigate
the effects of the war upon noncom-
batants.
This report, just given out, states
also that clothing must be supplied to
certain communities, temporary shell
ter must be provided for families
whose homes have been destroyed and
employment must be given to the un-
employed.
These relief measures, the commits
sion estimates, will necessitate an ex.
penditure OF about $6,600.000 a month
