FUMIeATIoN OF BOATS.
To Whom This May Concern.

To Whom This May Concern:
Yesterday committee representing
the law-abiding water-craft shipping
interest, called at the office of the State
Board of Health and entered vigorous
protest against existing laxity in fumi-
cation regulations. This committee ad-
vised that certain boats, launches and
other water-craft leave the port of New
Orleans without'a certificate of proper
fumigation from the Federal authori-
ties: that few if any of the health
officers at landing points outside the
parish of Orleans ever request GER
tificates or ask whether the boats have
these credentials.
Special men have been detailed for
this service by the State Board of
Health, and in future the captain, mate
Or person in charge of every boat,
launch or other water-craft for the
transportation of passengers or freight
of any character failing ito secure
proper certificate from the Federal
Health Authorities, clearing from the
port of Orleans, will be prosecuted by
the district attorney under the SAM
tary Code, State of Louisiana, as
amended at the February, 1915, meet
ing. Health officers are requested to
comply with the law or advise their
reason for failure to see that these
regulations are obeyed in their respec-
tive jurisdictions.

PUBLIC SCHOOL LEGISLATION.

Oh. g. Morris, M. D., Member Parish
Board, Tangipahoa, in Times Picayune)
The Legislative Committee of Parish
School Board Association of Louisiana
has made some recommendation to the
Legislature which is to meet in extra
session in May, the substance of which
follow:
Increase the state current school fund
from l 1920 mills to mills Increase
the appropriation for high school from
j$50,O00 to 100000 per year. Increase
the appropriation for domestic science
and agriculture from $4,000 to $780,
900. To aid in building country school
houses from $4,000 to $4,000. To sup
plement the salaries of teachers who
remain three or more years in the
same position, 100000.
Some important constitutional meas
ures: Statewide compulsory education.
Statewide pension law to pension teach
ers who have been teaching thirty
years in the state. Repeal the insti-
tute law and give the parish boards
and parish superintendent power to
arrange these. Require public schools
to be taught six days in the week. Raise
the constitutional parish tax from to
4 mills.
These recommendation and a few
others if adopted, will place Louisiana
in the cause of education, where she
justly deserves to be. Why should
Louisiana, one of the richest states in
natural resources, be so far behind in
the education of her citizens? There
are two causes. Lack of interest, and
lack of funds.
Now is the time to get some school
spirit and stir up enthusiasm. Every
member of a parish school board or
local board or city council should get
busy and let the representative from
his parish and the senator from his
district know that he wants the most
or all of these measures passed.

NEWSPAPER TALK.

In Louisiana we need to preach the
doctrine of better methods and larger
yields; but far greater is our need to
obtain any yield at all from the millions
of untenanted and unframed acres. It
viii take enormous sums of money to
improve and place in cultivation these
vacant lands or to fill them with inn.
proved live stock, and the farmers
whom we will induce to come here and
undertake improving the lands will not
have the necessary capital of their
own; otherwise, they would stay where
they are. The great work the bankers
can do is to obtain this capital for lend
ing out on long time and at reasonable
rates OF interest. There is plenty of
money in the United States whose
owners would be glad to lend it at from
five to six per cent; If the bankers will
make this capital available to the men
who are developing the lands, they will
perform service second in importance
only to that of the actual prOducers.-

JAPANESE IN LOUISIANA.

Correspondence in Times Picayune.)
In your morning edition see a letter
favoring the importation of Japanese
for farming purposes. Mr.. Chappuis is
right. Now is the time for every true
son of Louisiana to come forward and
oppose the importation of this alien
race
| think it was Jack London in story
called the valley of the Moon" who
told bow the Japanese got possession
OF farms in California. They entered
the fruit country and offered to pick
the crop for much less than the white
man had been picking it. Their offer
was accepted. The white man and his
family, having had their livelihood
taken away, moved out of the valley.
Then the Japanese made demands
that were refused, and the crop rotted
on the trees for lack of some one to
pick it. The next year this was re-
peated. The third year the owner was
glad to sell his crop to the Japanese
for whatever he could get. And so, in
a few years the Japanese were able to
buy the place very cheap.
That is just what will take place in
Louisiana if we do not petition the
legislature to act in the coming special
session. Let the man who says the
Japanese is better than the Italian stop
and think for minute. The second
generation of Italians intermarry with
our Americans, but the tenth genera
ton of Japanese will still be Japanese.

RESPECTABLE PARENTS.

Those who know the Prince of Wales
intimately say that he is as fond of a
joke now as he was when he was a
little boy, and in his nursery days his
quaint sayings were proverbial in the
royal family. The late King Edward,
says Pearson's Weekly, used to tell
with great gusto the following story.
The King asked little Prince Eddie what
part OF history he was then studying.
"All about Perkin Warbeck," replied
His Royal Highness.
"And who was he?" inquired His
Majesty, anxious to test his grandson's
knowledge.
"Oh," answered the prince, "he pre-
tended he was the son of a king; but
he wasn't. He was the son of respect.
able parents!"

The great sugar refineries in New
York can do business and pay dividends
on margin of one-eighth to three
sixteenths of a cent a pound, because
modern methods enable them to manu-
facture $4,000 barrels of sugar day.
Fifty years ago, in the good old times
when householders paid seventeen or
eighteen cents a pound for sugar, the
refners made four or FIVE cent pound.

AN EYE FOR SHOW is RIGHT.

Do you pay as much attention to
your yard as you do to the interior Of
your house? The front yard should be
kept clean for the neighbors to look at
and the back yard because it is most
seen by the family.
II Towering plants are grown in the
yard, keep the borders straight and the
edges even, and the old blossoms gut
off as fast as they fade. Where there
are unsightly views before the kitchen
and dining-room windows, do not fail
to have screen Of vines, suitable
shrubs or low growing trees.
Remember that it Is the outside
world that sees your yard and judges
you by what 1t sees.

A TURKISH LEGEND.
BY THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH.

A certain Pasha dead these thousand years,
Once from his harem fled in sudden tears
And had this sentence on the city's gate
Deeply engraven "Only God is great"
So those four words above the city's noise
Hung like the accents of an angels voice.
And evermore, from the high barbican,
Saluted each returning caravan.
Lost is that citys glory. Every gust
Lifts, with dead leaves, the unknown Pasha's dust
And all is ruin-save one wrinkled gate
Whereon is written, "Only God is great"
