needed by the Chicago. Rock Island &

financial requirements indicate a total

J. ". Kendrick, formerly vice -pres-
dent Of the Atchison road, is now pre-
pairing the report, which is 20 be made
the basis OF the reorganization plan.
This report. which was to have been
in the hands of the stockholders and
bonGholders' committees last week. has
been delayed and will probably not be
turned IN until the early part Of No
vember. The reason for the delay is
said 20 be Mr. Hendricks desire to
check over some OF his figures in con-
nection with some new estimates that
have been made.
To raise S64.000.o0O for the Rock
Island by assessment on the stock would
mean over $50 on each Of the 100000
shares Mr. Hendricks report will be
the third Of its kind within about eigh-
teen months and follows the estimate

TOO MUCH POLITICS.

Town Talk, published at Alex
andria, La. thinks the Pelican
state has decidedly too much
state politics, and it does seem
from a reading of Louisiana news
papers that politics is being
worked overtime. This is how
Town Talk fels about it:
eff the people Of Louisiana
would think and talk more about
good roads good schools, good
farming methods, gathering and
marketing crops proftably and
the material development of our
natural resources than they do of
politics and if the newspapers
would devote the same amount of
space of these subjects as they do
to politicians and exploiting the
good asd bad qualities of candi-
dates for Office. the state would
have easy sailing to where she
really belongs-one of the richest
and most progressive in the un-
ion."

THE SMITH-SMITH BAGASSE
HOPPER.

The A. Moresi Company, of
Jeanerette, La, builders of the
now quite celebrated "Smith-
Smith, Bagasse Hopper, are ask
ing sugar manufacturers the fol-
lowing pertinent question:
"Did it ever occur to you how
much safer you would feel from
fire if you had a bagasse hopper
over your bagasse furnaces which
would allow no sparks to come
from them7"
This. they claim, is just what
"Smith-Smith" Rotary Bagasse
Hopper will do, and is now doing
in many sugar factories in Louisi-
ana and in Cuba, and that it, also
will give a perfect combustion in
the furnace as it excludes the air
from the top of the furnace, there
by giving absolute control of the
amount Of air for the fire. The
air enters under the CRATE bars,
when is the proper place to IN
sure perfect combustion in bagasse
furnaces.
The "Smith-Smith" hopper is
now in use in about twenty sugar
factories in Louisiana, a number
of the iisreest in Cuba, Porto
Rico, San Domingo and Mexico:
The Moresi Company wants all
interested in the many advantages
of the Smith-Smith Rotary Ba-
gasse Hopper to kindly write for
full details and prices.
The above described invention
was patented by Messrs. Frank
Smith and Jos. J. Smith of Olivier
and is rapidly.finding it's place in
sugar factories in all sugar pro-
ducing countries Of the world.

DOROTHY GREEN FELT
LEANING FOR STAGE
WHILE VERY YOUNG.

Miss Dorothy Green, who is
supporting Ralph Kellard in the
William Fox production of Her
Mothers Secret?' is the nine.
teen-year-old pantomimic celeb.
rity whose success in the unspok.
en- drama has caused her personal
appearance before the King of
England, the King Of Spain and
the Gar Of Russia. Miss Green,
by the way, was born in Russia,
and when three wears old came to
this country with her parents. AT
the age Of seven she first evinced
marked histrionic ability, but, be-
cause Of her tender years, her par
ents declined to let her appear in
public.
A few years later, however,
critics who had marvelled at the
child's talent as evidenced in pri-
vate entertainments, Impressed
upon the parents the huge posi-
bilities for dramatic triumph on
the part Of the youthful Dorothy
if she were permitted to follow
her natural bent.
Her success was instantaneous
Her professional debut in Paris
was followed by extended engage
ments in the various European
centers and by appearance before
numerous crowned heads. After
her conquest of Europe she re-
turned to America. where her
work elected equal praise. Pan
tomime, however, has never Of
fered a very large field in this
country. so Miss Green decided to
enter photoplay.
Her early training proved of
inestimable value to her in her
invasion Of the photodrama. In
her new sphere success was again |
instantaneous She made her
1rst screen appearance in two
scenes Of "The Christian" Since
hen she has played Amy Leroy,
he lead in "The Country Boy"
md has been seen in "The Spirit

nd "Women and Wine" In

Before going too far with this
scare about Europe's dumping
cheap products on our markets
after the war, the republicans
might look around bit and see
if there is not a considerable num-

A GOOD CROP FOR LOU1sI-
ANA TRUCK GROWERS.

Louisiana truck growers, who
are looking for new crops, should
try bell peppers" says George L.
Tiebout, Horticulturist, Expert
ment Stations, L. S. U. "The
common impression that there is
very limited demand for this
vegetable is erroneous. Peppers
are a staple crop in Florida,
which ships many carloads to the
northern. eastern and western
markets. Texas is finding out
that there is money to be made in
raising this vegetable. Louisi-
ana should also enjoy her share
Of these profits.
Ito one experienced in the
management of hotbeds, peppers
are an easy crop to grow. There
Is no pruning or stalking required.
and no special skill is necessary

packing of peppers. This can all
be done by common labor.
In this latitude Baton Rouge)
peppers should be planted in hot
beds about December Is to early
January, and transplanted to the
open field in April. The Ruby
hing is the most popular va

Professor Tiebout has had ff-
