lGunners May Garry
Merrymeeting War
TO the Legislature
Oath Times Nov. 22)

Brunswick gunners are up in arms,
They are divided into. two camps and
the arguments that are being waged
whenever a group of sportsmen gather
wax fast and furious.
The discussion started over the birds
that haunt the shores of Merymeeting
bay. For. many years, before the mi
gratory bird laws were even dreamed
of, scores of Brunswick and Topsham,
Bowdoinham and Bath men, not to
mention the many from more distant
points. had been in the habit of con-
gregating at Merrymeeting bay during
the hunting season in their quest for
ducks, geese. coots and other Wild
fowl.
These birds on the flight north in
the Spring and their return south in
the Fall have always been found in
great numbers around the shores OF
Merrymeeting bay, being attracted by
the acres of natural feed which year
after yeat has grown most luxuriant-
iy.
Now that the national government
has taken q hand in the destiny of
the birds Spring hunting Is no longer
allowed. Local gunners claim that be-
cause of this the birds have remained
all Summer and that as a result the
feeding grounds are in danger Of being
devastated. the birds having eaten all
the seed. leaving but little to replen-
ish the growth next season.
Under the old system the birds were
driven from their feeding grounds
early in the Summer and gave the wild
grains an opportunity TO ripen and
SOW their seed before the birds re-
turned in the Fall on their way south
Under the old system there were sew
erai weeks of excellent sport both In
the Spring and Fall. Now under the
national laws hunting Is only permit

DAUGHTER OF
AGUINALDO IN

She Meets Many Wives Of Amer
lean Statesmen and
Makes a Hit.

When General Emilio Aguinaldo was
leading the Filipino army against the
American forces twenty years ago he
probably little dreamed that some day
a daughter of his would visit the city
of Washington and would be given
great reception at the famous Con-
gressional Club! And that the wives
of 100 members Of the American Con-
gress and two wives Of members OF the
Presidents cabinet would call upon
her to pay their respects!
But all this actually happened when
Miss Carmen Aguinaldo, his nineteen
year-old daughter, visited Washington
recently. And those wives Of the Am
erican statesmen expressed themselves
as both charmed and surprised at the
refined, tactful, college educated young
miss who greeted them.
"Miss Aguinaldo was simply delight,
full" was the expression Of one con-
CHEESEMAN'S wife. "She was very mod

oughly at home that she captivated ev-
erybody"
On another occasion while in Wash.
ington Miss Aguinaldo was given real
ovation by a Fllipino-American audi.
ence when she recited my Last Fare
we'll" poem of DR.. Jose Rial, the FIJI
ipino martyr.
Miss Aguinaldo Is student at the
University of Illinois, Urbana, Ill.
While in Washington she was the
guest of Mrs. Jaime c. deYeyra, wife
of one of the resident commissioners
from the Philippines. The Capitol
building and the Congressional library
appealed particularly to the young
Filipino, while the beautiful sights
from the Washington monument thrill
ed her with delight When asked how
she liked America, she smiled and an
swered:
ut is a wonderful country. l didn't
like winter at first but since / have
learned how to skate am having fine
times. All the Americans whom have
met have been very good to me. My
friends In Urbana and my classmates
In the university are just lovely, but !
cannot help feeling homesick at times
because l am missing my father. My
coming here was indeed great sacri-
fee for him, for we are very close. He
is so good to me"
Miss Aguinaldo is intensely patriotic.
She does not conceal her resentment
when she hears or reads Of misrepre.
sentation of the Filipinos. "It is I'M
fortunate" she once exclaimed In
voice full Of sadness, 'that my country
and my people are hardly known, much
less understood, by the people of Am
erica"
Politics is tabooed In any converse
ton with this Filipino maid. She
evades the topic by replying that she
is too young to express opinions on
things political. "All / can say" she
declares, us that / share with my
father in the desire for Independence
for my native land. There is no ques-
ton about our being able to govern
ourselves"
Filipinos declare Miss AguinaldO has
a genuine Filipino temperament
that is. she does not believe In the oc'
cidental custom Of dates" between
Young men and women. She does NOT
see anything wrong in it, she says, but
It is such violent departure from the
custom in the Philippines that she can
not adopt 1t.
"You might laugh at me-" she said
"but cannot go out with one single
escort unchaperOned. / simply can't
/ will 20 back to my country with thu
soul Of Filipino"
A newspaper in one OF the large Am
erjcaR cities that Miss Aguinaldo visit
ed expressed the opinion that sh
would no doubt be greatly inpresse
BY the sight of street cars and some o
the fine residences she would see, bu
the truth Is the young lady was raise
IN Manila. where she has seen an uI
to-date street car system all her life.

FENTON TOPICS
Fenton, La, Feb. Is, 1920.

The rice farmers were again shut
down by heavy rain Tuesday a. m,
which will probably mean weeks lay
off from the fields
Mr.. Dock Witherwak of WoOdlawn
is erecting a saw mill on the D. S.
Williams farm near Fenton, and we
expect to hear the exhaust of the en-
CINE and the hum Of the saw in the
near future as they are busy with a
crew of men working every day. It
now appears that FentOn will become
"a lumber manufacturing center With
Mr.. Witherwax's mill we now have
two. The Oscar Miller mill is now
saving lumber. The Mardi Gras day
seemed very quiet, as there was no
parade nor excitement of any kind
not even a maskerade. We are all
wearing our same old faces, watching
the rain.
The home of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank
Epperly in Fenton was blessed last
Saturday by the arrival of an eleven
pound boy.
We are informed that wedding
occurred last Friday, Oscar FontenOt
and Miss Lue Fontenot being mar,
ried at Indian Village.
Mr.. Lee Bebee, west of Fenton has
a derrick up and is ready to put down
a deep we'll for irrigation of his new
rice farm, and will start drilling in a
few days.
Mr.. Lucius COrbello, of Rice. Oul
tick deputy, was riding through oul
herds Monday. Mr. Corbello claims
that the stock are in general in goot
condition, but we hear a great dea
of complaint of the loss of unmatureC
calves and the general opinion is tina
it is caused by the, late dipping Of the
cows.
Mr.. Edward Vidrine made a tlyinf
trip to Lake Charles Monday for auto
mobile repairs, returning the same
day.
Arnold Granger and family drove t.
Gray Bluff on the Calcasieu rive
Sunday and returned Monday with

SAYS THE STATE MARKETING BUREAU.

The trucking season is before us
and all forms of vegetation have en-
emies, says the State Marketing
Bureau. 1t is the necessary thing
for growers to be prepared to combat
them. This they can do by sending
to the State Experiment Station,
GAINESVILLE for Bulletin No. 1874, en-
titled, FLORIDA Truck and Garden In
sects," and No. 139, entitled Some
Important Diseases of Truck Crops in
Florida" These bulletins are sent
free, and are very comprehensively
illustrated with drawings showing the
life history of various insects and
describes different diseases, besides
being carefully indexed.
The citrus crop promises to be an
important one this season in Florida,
says tie State Marketing Bureau, and
every effort should be made to con-
serve and get it on the market in the
very best form. Labor OF course
is scarce, and there are other OBJ
stacles. Among the enemies to the
crop are insects and diseases. These
are described in bulletins issued by
the State Experiment Station at
GAINESVILLE. The first Bulletin is No.
l4S, entitled Insects of Citrus
Grove" and the second is No. $50. en-
titled FLORIDA Citrus Diseases" Both
are fully indexed, and are sent free
On application.
