Christian life. It's al right. it's all
right"
Rev. Terry's sermon was most IN
usual. for IL seemed to buoy up the
spirits OF the youthful high school
boys and girls, who seemed hardly
able TO bear the burden OF grief. He
told them they were not think OF Bill
lying before them a corpse rather do
you call him back TO mind. as your
chum. at your social gatherings. in
your class room smiling and happy or
leading his team up the field. to the
coveted goal defending the honor of
your schools. Bin died a brave fight
or. a model Christian young man. let
us follow in his footsteps
In conclusion Rev. Terry offered a
beautiful prayer. imploring divine aid
for the boys and girls who loved Bill
Parker so h la they might bravely
bear their sorrow. He asked the
Masters blessing upon the parents.
brother and sisters of Captain Parker
in their hours OF sadness.
As Rev. Terry concluded his address
an opportunity was given those in at
tendance 20 view the remains and for
forty minutes a steady procession filed
through the church. The scene was
most touching as the members of the
high school squad together with the
den of the school broke into sobs
as they viewed their friend. leader and
champion for the last time. The af.
lection shown for the lad touched the
hearts OF all. and young and old alike
wept for the departed hero.

Diogenes Still Seeking.

Diogenes was sitting on fire hydrant
when kindly faced man stopped and
addressed him.

he asked.

cynic.

As / turned yonder corner carrying

Wherefore the glimp he asked. re-
piled that was Diogenes, looking for
an honest man The youth laughed.
You're wasting time In this town, un-
cle,' he said. Your glim is no use here.
And what do you think He took my
lantern away from me. and my hat and
my street car pennies, and ran around
the corner. The only thing he left Of
any value waa my collar b1tton. Do

citizen. "You are quite excusable. I

search for an honest man you couldn't

So saying, he stopped down suddenly

BUBONIC PLAGUE FOUND.
Case Discovered in New 0rleans-The
First in Nearly Year.

After lapse of nearly year case
of human plague occurred in the city
of New Orleans on the 9th of August.
This case was confirmed as true bubonic
plague on September 8. The epidemiolo-
gical Investigations as to the exact
source of the infection have not yet been
completed but it is believed that it was
probably received in the city of New Or
leans. Up to date over 81 900 build
ings in that city have been rat-proofed
and over $4,000 rodents have been cap
tured in traps alone. The occurrence
of this case demonstrates the difficulties
surrounding the eradication Of the dis
ease and indicate that had it not been
for the active cooperative efforts of the
United States public health service and
of the departments of health of the state
of Louisiana and the city of New Or
leans, the outbreak would have reached
greater proportions and would have been
longer continued. Ii also points out to
other cities the necessity for Kidding
themselves of the rodent carriers of the
disease and of thoroughly rat-proofing
all OF their buildings. No fear is felt
that this case will be followed by an out
break. Officers and men of the public
health service, well trained in the con-
troll of the disease are on the ground
and with the health authorities Of the
city of New Orleans are taking every
precaution to prevent the spread of the
disease from the city and within it.

The Appalachian Represen-
tatives See Secre-
tary Houston
100000 YEARLY
WANTED FOR 5 YEARS
Otherwise Much Good Work
Would Have Been
Wasted

Washington, Sept. 24.-The Appalach-
ian region needs $2,000,000 year for
five years if progress is to be made and
economical and efficient administration
maintained, so Secretary of Agriculture
Houston was told yesterday morning by
an impressive group of representatives
Iof forestry and other associations. The
secretary was requested to ask Congress
for an appropriation and also to demand
a measure making available the $1,000
900 of unexpended balance, now in the
treasury.
The delegation was as follows: DIR.
Henry s. Drinker, president of the Amer
lean Forestry associations p. S. Rids-
dale, secretary of the same; Harris A.
Reynolds, and Allen Chamberlain of the
Massachusetts, Forestry association;
Philip w. Ayres, of the Society for the
Protection of New Hampshire Forests;
Harvey N. Shepard, of the Appalachian
Mountain club; George S. Powell, secre-
tary Of the Appalachian Park associa-
ton, Ashville, N. c.; w. NJ. Goodman, of
the Knoxville TENN board of COM
merce; G. D. Leighton, of the New
Hampshire state board of trade; Frank
NJ. West, OF the Western n H. chamber
Of commerce; Ashton +. Hemphill of the
Connecticut Valley Waterways associa-
ton; Clarence J.. Owen, of the Southern |
Commercial congress and C. L. Julin, of
the New Haven chamber of commerce.
The first appropriation for the Appa-
lachian forests under the Weeks act ex-
pired on June 80, 1918, and unless more
money is appropriated the valuable pre-
work OF the organization which
mas taken two years to build up in the
forestry service viii be in large part
wasted. In the northern region not
enough land has yet been purchased to
make good administrative unit, and
nothing at all has been done on the wat
,rshcd of the Connecticut river. 1t is
-ealized of course, that Congress will
,e reluctant to spend any more money
han it absolutely must during the com
ng year, but the Appalachian project is
believed by many to be one of such
,reat Importance that it is not consid-
red probable that Congress will turn it
own fat. New England congressman
nd senators viii be asked to do their
tmost to secure the appropriation.
