LOUISIANA COLD
SNAP HITS CANE

NEW ORLEANS, La.-Reports from
many parishes are to the effect that
the freeze Of last week was more Sc
we're than early advies indicated and
that the crop will be still further re-
duced as q result of 1t. The freeze
caught the cane still In a green condi.
ton and killed the bud practically
throughout the belt, which means, Of
course, that there will be no further
improvement in its condition.
Many OF the factories stopped grind
ing to windrow the cane, thing which
has never been necessary before so
early In the season. Fears are now. ex.
pressed that even the windrowed cane
may deteriorate, owing to the fact
that the soil is unusually dry.
e. A. Rainold, who few weeks ago
estimated the probable Louisiana pro,
duction ut 275,000 tons, has lowered
his estimate to 100000 tons, and other
sugar men, such as E. F. Dickinson,
are even more pessimistic regarding
the probable outcome. 1t is pointed
out that the cane was yielding very
low In sugar before the freeze, 100
pounds to the ton being the most that
the factories were able to obtain, and
that this figure cannot now be in.
creased Some estimates now place
the probable outturn as low as 2OO,.
900 tons. -
= The sugar plantations are being
handicapped by the severe shortage Of
labor existing In Louisiana. As a
means Of relieving this shortage Mayor
Behrman has ordered the police to ar
rest all idlers In the city and to re-
lease from the parish prison and the
House Of Detention all minor offend
ers who are willing to work in the
sugar belt.

He FOUND WAY TO WAKE HER
Minister, Annoyed by Woman Who
Persisted in Sleeping During
Service, Had Bright Idea.

The minister of L - is one of
those quietly humorous characters of
whom there are many in the church.
He has a deal to contend with in
his preaching, and the chief matter he
has to combat is sleep.
Many of his hearers begin to doze
the minute he starts preaching. The
minister arranged with the verger that
in future he should endeavor to wax
en- sleepers from the pulpit.
He managed this successfully for
some time, but one Sunday he failed
10 rouse an old woman, a well-knOwn
innkeeper in the parish. At length,
just as he was about to yield, bright
idea struck him.
TN waken her this time" he ex-
claimed.
Striking the side of the pulpit firm
ly with his clenched fist, he called out
''Anither pint here, janet" whereupon
the good old innkeeper started up and
replied, Coming, sir; cOming!"

HOW TANK" APPEARS TO HIM
British War Machines Perform Some
Marvellous Feats, According to One
Enthusiastic. Admirer.

One of the enthusiastic admirers of
the British "tank" recently gave his
impressions of the car in action. He
said in letter to his friends:
1.-THE tanks are simply wonderful.
They can do up prisoners in bundles
like strawbinders, and, in addition,
have an adaptation of a perfecting
printing press which enables them to
catch up the Huns, fold, count and de-
liver them in quires, every thirteenth
man being thrown out a little further
than the others The cars in question
can chew up barbed wire and turn it
into munitions. AS they run they slash
their tails and clear away trees,
houses, howitzers and everything else
in the vicinity. They turn on their
backs, catch live shells with their cat
Urpillar feet, and can easily be adapted
as submarines; indeed, most of them
cross the channel in this guiSe. They
loop-the-loop, travel forwards, back
wards, sideways, not only with equal
speed, but at the same time. The tanks
can do anything and everything; i'll
fact, if there is anything that can't be
done, the tanks can do It,"

Books for Control OF Food.

Under a system of food control pro-
posed in England to secure the same
results as issuing tickets permitting
the holder to purchase bread, meat,
butter and other Supplies, every house
holder, says Popular Mechanics Maya
zine, would be compelled to keep an
official "housekeeper's book" All pur-
chases of food would be entered in this
book by the shOpkeeper, and after a
fixed date no food would be sold I'M
less an official passbook was presented.
The book would sell for 2 cents and
upward, according to size. 1t would
show the number of adults in each
household, also the number and ages
of children.
Separate columns would be provided
for entering different kinds of food, 50
that the quantities bought could be
seen at a glance. No new book would
be issued until the old one was re-
turned for official inspection.

What Responsibility Does.

The saying runs that as soon as a
lieutenant is made commander he be-
gins to carry stick, and as soon as a
commander becomes captain he
~turns religious" For justification of
the latter part of this assertion there
exists the undoubted fact that naval
captains are mostly serious minded
men who give some thought to the
greater things of life. Possibly their
hours of loneliness may conduce to this
frame of mind, though for the most
part their leisure hours are given up to
study of matters connected with their
calling. One well-known captain there
was who used to hold prayer meetings,
which any member of the ships COM
pany could attend. Remember there
are no rates to be picked up here" the
captain would warn them before the
meetings started, meaning that any
one who came there hoping to curry
favor and thus get promotion would
be disappointed. And in this the cap
tain was always as good as his word.

He Mas Cured.

Once there was a little boy who stole
sugar. So strong was his craving for
sugar that half his mothers time was
taken up watching the sugar bowl.
One morning, however, she filled a big
tumbler full of sugar and gave it to
the little boy and told him to eat it all.
The boy took a spoon and started in.
He ate about a third of it before he
got enough. His mother insisted that
he eat some more-it was all his to
eat. and she'd box his ears if he didn't
eat 1t. She did box his ears. and he
ate a little more. but presently he
slipped the tumbler under his chair
and slipped out to play. When he
came back, though, the tumbler was
there waiting for him. He ate a little,
but 1t wasn't good. He said it ''was
too sweet" Every day for month
that tumbler was by his plate at the
table. on chair by his bedside, in the
closet with his playthings-every-
where he found that tumbler. The
flies swarmed about it, and the ants
came, but still it was too sweet"
That tumbler never was finished up.
The boy is an old man now, and takes
his coffee straight. Gooseberry pie is
the only kind he likes All other kinds
are "too sweet. kansas City Star.

MOUNTAIN LIONS ARE TlMID
Animal Is Not Dangerous to Man But
Is Relentless Enemy to Large
Game and Live Stock

The mountain lion, next to the jag
uar, is the largest Of the cat tribe ma
tive to America. In various parts of
its range it is also known as the pan
Their, cougar and puma. 1t is a slen-
der-bodied animal with a small head
and long, round tail, with a total
length varying from seven to nine feet
pounds.
No other American mammal has
range equal to that of the mountain
lion. 1t originally inhabited both
North and South America, from south
ern Quebec and Vancouver island to
the Pacific coasts, says the National
Geographic Magazine.
The mountain lion, while powerful
enough to be dangerous to man, is
in reality extremely timid. Owing to
it's being a potentially dangerous ami
nal, the popular conception of it is
that of a fearsome beast, whose savage
exploits are celebrated in the folklore
of our frontier. AS a matter of fact,
few wild animals are less dangerous,
although there are authentic accounts
of wanton attacks upon people, just
as there are authentic instances of buck
deer and moose becoming aggressive.
1t has wild, weird cry, popularity sup
posed to resemble the scream of a ter
rlfied woman, which is thrillingly i'm
preSSiVe when the shades of evening
are throwing mysterious gloom over
the forests.
Although inoffensive as to people,
this cat is such fierce and relentless
enemy of large game and live stock
that 1t is everywhere an outlaw. 1t
often kills calves, burt Is especially
fond of young horses. In many range
districts of the Western states and on
the tableland of Mexico, owing to the
depredations of this animal, it is i'm
possible to raise horses.

WANTS SPECIAL RULING.
Postmaster of South NorWalk ln-
 QuireS About NorNaIEs Status.

South Norwalk, Oct 3O.-Post- master Andrew Leary of this city has written to the postmaster general in Washington asking a special rul- ing in the case of the city of NorWalk in regard to the matter of drop letters. Under the present ruling it will after November 1st cost three cents to send a letter from Norwalk to South Norwalk or vice versa because there are two post offices in this city. When the city was consolidated a little over four years ago the two postal districts of the two former were left here and the result is that a special ruling has been asked for. The war revenue act specifically states that a drop letter shall cost two cents for each ounce or fraction thereof in the postal dis trict where it is delivered.
 The two post offices here are separated by a distance of about a mile and an eighth and much eX- pense and confusion will result if the three cent rate has to be followed in strict acordance with the act.
 Tn New York city the same problem presented itself with five postal dis tricts in the one city. A special rul. ing was asked for there by postmaster Patten which however was refused No answer has been received here from Washington yet.
