INDIAN SUNNI Err.

The short season of fine weather
usually occurring about the middle of
November, or little later, is called
Indian summer" from the custom
of the Indians to avail themselves of
this pleasant season for gathering
their corn, and the tradition is that
they always had a Second summer
of nine days just before winter set
in" The sky at this period is gen.
orally filled with a golden haze. The
season is synonymous with the
Summer of st. Martin" of Europe,
which derives its name from the fes-
tival of ST. Martin held on the 18th
Of November. "Squaw winter" is
the Indian appellation for the touch
of wintry or snowy weather that pre-
cedes the Indian summer.

kILAUEA VOLCANO ACTIVE.

"Kilauea volcano, one of the great
natural wonders of the world, lately
became active, and the molten lava,
surging upward from the depths, is
now close to the brink, affording a
spectacle of awe-inspiring grandeur"
John M. Ross of Haklau, Hawaii,
said, according to the Seattle Post
Intelligencer. ''The vast flood of
boiling lava regularly rises and falls,
continually spouting fountains of
flame, flowing in swift currents, ed
dying and boiling like the sea, or
breaking and tumbling like surf in a
tempest" Mr.. Ross continued. GA
strong sulphur odor permeates the
air, and the glow of the volcano
transforms the night sky into a fire
spangled mirror of incandescent
beauty"

3TOP STALE BREAD NUISANCE
innovation Promises to RevoIutionize
Bakery Business and to Aid in
Complying With Conservation.

If all the regulations which may
be established to govern food produc-
ton and conservation can be meas
ured by the request of the council OF
national defense that the bakers at
once put stop to their ancient Gus
tom of accepting returns of stale
bread, itIs clear that the food bust
ness is going to have thoroughly
salutary house cleaning, says North
western Miller.
The prevention of waste is, in the
long run, directly beneficial to the
producer, and the government is evil
IDENTIFY going to help him to do what
he had long wanted but been unable
to do. The stale bread nuisance has
for years been one of the chief
plaques of the bakery trade. Every
body recognized it for what it was: a
wholesale waste of good material do
ing nobody any good, main
tanned. only because each baker
was afraid of his competitors.
The retailer who wanted dozen
loaves was induced to take two dozen
on the ground that he could
return the unsold ones; the
baker paid the extra cost, knowing
that if he revoked the obnoxious
privilege some other baker would use
it as a means for getting the retail
er's trade for himself.
The return of unsold bread was
long a favorite theme at bakers con-
ventions; its evils were published
abroad and the trade was urged to
''do something about it. But the
lurking competitor around the COR
rer kept that something from being
done, and the baker kept on supply
ing the retailer with bread he did not
want and gazing day by day at the
surplus and practically unstable
production which was deposited on
his hands.

The trial. Of Mr.. Aymar Leleu
last Thursday in the District Court
for the shooting Of Game Warden
Sonnier last April on Marsh Is
land resulted in an outright
acouittal bv the Jury. This is the
ease in which the accused was in
dicted for attempting murder,
Sonnier losing an eye from a shot
from q revolver. One Of the most
essential points which we believe
caused the Jury to bring in q YER
diet Of not guilty was the fact
that Sonnier stated that he did
not know whether the crime was
committed in iberia Parish or on
the vermilion side Of the Island.
The accused was represented BY
