N~apoIeonic Ruse.

There have been rumors of German
1at-bottomed boats at Z~eebrugge for
the invasion Of England. 1t is timely
to recall hat Admiral Montagu re
ported about Napoleon's fat-bottomed
boats after he had captured n OF
them. "In short, sir, these vessels to
my mind are completely contemplate
and ridiculous, and | therefore con.
clude that the number collected at
Boulogne are to keep our attention on
the qui vive and to gloss over the real
attack meditated from other points"
If Napoleon ever seriously contem-
plated subduing England by means Of
these craft, the admiral would have
agreed with the Partisan wits, who
dubbed their emperor Don Quixote de
Ia Manche."-London Chronicle.

LARGE SOUTH AFRICA SNAKES
In Swaziland, According to Traveller,

The largest snakes in the world. so

America that equals in size the rock

land, writes Temple Manning. Near

snakes which he had captured alive.
and he and his kafr servants were
engaged in measuring them. The
longest measured a few inches less
than twenty feet and was "a inches
in circumference, and the smallest
was IL feet in length and IL inches in
circumference.
In order to get photographs we tied
the head of the snakes to pegs set
in the ground and then, stretching the
tails back as far as we were able, had
the kaf1rs hold them-a job that they
were 10th to undertake, as they have
no liking for the reptiles, though they
hunt them f~earlessly.
The snakes are not poisonous, and
do not bite. OF course, with their
tremendous powers of construction
they could squeeze a man to death in
a minute OF two, but they V at
tack a man and only fight in self-de-

oil from his catch, worth about fifteen
pounds, nearly seventy-1ve dollars in

tention of defeating the bill if pos
sible. Some of the democrats believe,
however, that If the government own
ership and a government controlled
steamship corporation features are
eliminated from the bill, at tonights
caucus the measure can be passed
and that 1t will nave the support Of
progressive republicans.
Another matter which the aucus
will have to decide will be how much
continuous time is to be given to con-
s~ideration of the shipping bill to the
exclusion of supply measures. The
suggestion has been made by some
senators that two weeks be devoted to
debate on the measure now, at the end
of which time If there is nc better
prospect of it's passage, it be aban-
doned for the present session.

HOPE FOR LOUISIANA
TICK ERADICATION.
Situation More Encouraging
and Marked Progress Look
ed For In Two Years.

Washington, ID. O.-Marked
progress In the work of tick era
dication 10 Louisiana IS expected
within the next two years. Thir-
teen additional employees of the
United States Department of Ag
riculture have been assigned to
the work IN this state and s or 9
additional parishes have under
taken to free their territory.
This is regarded by the Federal
authorities in charge of the gen.
srsl campaign throughout the
country as extremely encourag-
log.
Up to quite recently, Louisiana
had shown much less interest in
the work than the neighboring
states Indeed, it was not until
1918 that it was possible to re
lease any territory from quaran-
tine, and then only $50 square
miles were freed. In 1914 this
amount was very neatly doubled,
1877 square miles being released
from the quarantine in that year.
Even now, however, the only free
territory in the state consists OF
the parishes Of Claiborne, Tensas,
and Madison. Tensas parish was
practically freed from ticks in
the course of one seasons work,
and this fact has proved most en-
couraging to other parishes which
are thinking Of taking up the
work.

Farm Markets Bureau Episode.


The Democratic press has been en-
deavoring to make political capital
out OF some advice given by Captain
DaVlS, assistant attorney general, to
State Auditor Huston. 1t appears as
though the law creating the farm mar.
kets bureau is faulty, though the de-
tect may not necessarily be fatal. The
supreme court has heretofore held in
very similar cases that it was fatal.
Anyway, as the Democrats have want
ed State Auditor Huston prosecuted
tor technical violations of the law, and
have caused him great financial loss
and personal distress, it is but natural
that the State Auditor should be on
his guard, and the assistant ATTORNEY
General was we'll within his rights
when he pointed out to the Auditor
the possibility of danger in paying
claims from the farm markets depart
ment Neither official is in any way
antagonistic to the farm markets bu-
reau
AS the Democrats are having great
trouble over the veterinary depart
ment, very much to their embarrass-
ment, it is just possible that the action
Of Captain Davis was seized upon and
distorted in order to divert attention.
The objection to DR.. Bodle, the State
Veterinarian is that he is not a grad
uate and therefore not competent.
What merit there is to this charge is
cause for difference of opinion as
the doctor might be a very good vet
erinarian and still not be a graduate.
He might also possess splendid execu-
tive ability as an officer, but the fact
remains that his appointment has been
very offensive to most of the veterin-
arians of the state and has been the
cause of no end of trouble both in and
out of the state. In same states they
threatened to refuse to accept DR.
Bodies certificates of inspection, but
this was finally overcome, although
the incident has been quite embarrass-
ing to Idaho. 1t has also been en-
barrassing to the Democrats, but il
should not cause them to distort the
facts relative to the action of the Legal
department in relation to the farm
markets bureau. Referring to the lie,
gal question involved, Captain Davis
said:
"If the supreme court should up,
hold the appropriation no harm will
have been done to anyone. If, on the
other hand, the court should decide
that it has been made in violation Of
the constitution, no right-minded per
son could expect the state auditor tc
pay out this money without warran
of law and thus render himself person
ally, even if not criminally liable, BY
so doing"

off on Sunday; and then give it up on
account of a caller, or didn't have the
time to get the lunch prepared
Didn't you ever try to have COM
pany for an evening or card party,

the cake or candy2
Did you ever want chicken for
some special dinner and the butcher
was out of them2

that is the reason that we are taking
the liberty of addressing this letter to
YOU
I'VE would like to furnish that
chicken prepared the way you want it;
or make the cake or candy and deliver
il when il is wanted.
Did you ever try Coco or nut-bread
sandwiches for the afternoon tea? We
are artists in that line.
GLOW about some real homemade
candy for those who are waiting fol-
the bell at the card party?
Did you ever prepare for a party
and then were so tried from your ef
forts that you did not enjoy it? WoulC
it not be much better to have some
one prepare the eats, deliver them tC
your residence and serve them anC
then clean the kitchen so you coulC
