WEATHER AND THE CROPS.

The warmer weather which has
prevailed for the past few days, mas
greatly stimulated the growth of the
crops and garden vegetables. Cane,
corn and rice which were retarded
by the unusually cool spring are said
to have taken on new life and vigor
and to show decided Improvement.
The more tender of the garden vege~
table, such as eggplants, peppers,
squash, cucumber and melons, are
also said to have been much Dene-
flied by the warmer temperature
But rain at this time would be very
much welcomed by the planters and
truck growers, who believe that all
plants would be materially benefited
J by a good shower.
Rice grassing is in full progress in
| this section, and labor is plentiful
and cheap. Many of the planters
along the river are getting free ter,
| that is, the stage Of the river, while
not as high as usual at this time OF
the year, is sufficiently high to enable
them to syphon the water over the
levee without the use of pumps. How
long this condition will continue is
| of course uncertain. The rice crops
are generally fair, but little late.
The corn crops are large and un-
| usually good in this neighborhood,
and on some plantations the crop has
already been laid by.
The cane crops are also very prom
ising. The stands are good and the
color excellent and the planters are
very much encouraged over the gen
eral outlook.

JUDGE E. D. WHITE.

In the death of Chief Justice Ed
ward D. White, who passed away at
Washington last Thursday morning,
Louisiana lltosas 4,ur foremost and
most distinguished citizen and son
and the nation its ablest statesman
and jurist. An accomplished scholar,
a natural born orator, possessed of
great personal magnetism, at a very
early age he made his influence felt
in the politics of his native state and
became leader among men. His
rise to political eminence was rapid
and uninterrupted. First a state
senator, then a justice of the su-
preme< court Of the state, next
United States senator, justice of the
court of the United States
and finally chief justice Of this
august tribunal. His record of ad-
has been equalled by few
men. Through all these years he
bore the high honors conferred upon
him with simple dignity which en-
deared him to all men. 4 devout
Catholic, open and fearless in the
profession of his faith, he enjoyed
the friendship of many of the lead
ing church dignitaries in the land
and was honored and respected by
members of all religious demonina-
tions alike. His long and brilliant
career was without stain or blem-
isl. and his death removes from the
sphere of activity one of the most
fiu71res in American history.
He fully deserves place in the Hall
Of Fame as one Of Loo,isiana's great
est sons.

SUPPRESS ITALIAN CRIMINALS.

The MANY crimes which have been
committed by Italians in New Or
leans and other parts of the state re-
Gently, eliminating in the attempted
robbery of the bank at independence
and the murder Of Dallas l.. Cambre,
a storekeeper of that place who gave
the alarm which foiled the robbers,
and the subsequent assassination OF
two young Italians in the Crescent
City, has thoroughly aroused the Of
fcials and law abiding citizens as well
as the better element of the sons OF
Italy. True bills of Indictment for
murder have been returned against
six of those charged with the attempt
to rob the bank and the killing Of the
storekeeper in the Tangipahoa viii
lape. while two others are held by the
New Orleans authorities in connec~
ton with the murder Of the two
young men in that city. Speedy
trials are promised in each case, with
the assurance that every effort Will
be made to bring the miscreants to
justice.
That the work Of the band Of
criminals is condemned by the better
element of Italians is evidenced by
an article which appeared over the
signature of its editor, in recent is
sue of LItalio Americana, an ltallan
newspaper published in New Or
leans, in which he calls upon the
law-abiding Italians to hold a mass
meeting and organize q committee
of protection which should work to-
gether with the police department.
The article says in part: The
Italian criminal is again in the first
page. What hateful animal he isl!
Ill-bred. worthy neither Of respect
nor honor. with burning poison in
his veins, hateful and detestable, he
is always seeking to satisfy his brutal
instinct--to rob and kill. A
handful of criminals protected by the
silence of many and by our authori-
ties, which are often lenient toward
delinquents, is always at work to
harm, to rob, to abuse, to kill his
fellow-creatures. + Il On the other
hand. the Italians instead of publicly
saying that they know or what they
see, have held their tongues for fear
of vengeance. This silence has not
only protected the criminals, but has
also fostered them to perpetrate other
crimes. The police cannot discover
the culprit unless he is assisted by the
public, and it is every honest citizens
duty to help the police in his search.
The Italians should learn to be frank
and open-hearted with the police, and
not to mind the criminals's threats.
Otherwise they will continue to suf-
fer the consequences of their obstinate
silence and will have to sustain the
caused them by the in
fernal work of their degenerate
We shall pro-
tect our lives, property and dignity.
Let us, therefore, act at once. 1t is
time to crush the criminal. Hurry
apW
This is indeed sound advice given
20 Italians by one of their country
nen. and if followed would result IN |
he early stamping out OF the criminal
clement which has brought dishonor |
,pon the Italian name.

DEPUTY SHERIFF NOT
MURDERED: IS SHORT

1t was reported last week that r.
B. Rogers. deputy sheriff, at Blythe
vile, had been murdered by an I'M
known assailant, as his hat and coat
had been found close Manila. Ark
near one of his farms, and a wide
spread search had been made for
him, locating his he wFOrd sedan
abandoned together with the keys to
his Office in Paragould several days
]a:nr.
Since Rogers disappearance, the
Sheriff has employed an auditor to
go over the books of the missing de-
putty, and it is now learned that
there is shortage in Rogers ac-
counts of close to $65.OOO. which of
course disputes the murder suspi-
cion.
The sheriff has never called up
on the deputy for an accounting and
tad talked to Mr.. Rogers several
days before his disappearance in
regard to having the books audited
and Rogers had acquiesed, but evil
IDENTIFY made immediate plans to dis
appear. Rogers had recently taken
out $4,000 new insurance and car
ried in all in the neighborhood of
$50,000.0O.
Rogers wa formerly employed at
the former Bank of Blytheville, and
was a first class bookkeeper and
maintained the same type of books as
he had used at the bank. He was
under $25, 900 personal bond to sher-
if Blackwood, but had kept this
bond in hi private safety deposit box
but it was not found among his
papers after his keys were found,
and so 1t has probably gone with
the rest of the loot.
Rogers has been in Blytheville for
ten or welve years and had the con-
fidence OF everyone.

The Sweet Potato House


The sweet potato house In Caruth-
ersville has been receiving potatoes
for the last two weeks. We are
now storing more than 5000 bush
els of sweet potatoes and the curing
process is we'll under way. Every
thing is looking good and the pota-
toes are drying out just about as
near right as we can expect them.
The crop has been harvested for the
most part and every farmer is con-
WINGED that he can make more money
growing sweets than he can from any
other crop. There Is very little
labor to growing the crop and 1t Is
no trouble to average 200 bushels to
the acre. Some of the men have
grown around 1900 bushels this
year and 1t will mean money to them
at the time of the year when they
need money. We are convinced
that for every dollar that this house
has cost we have received a full

To Hold Baby Clinic

To Hold Baby clinic
Hayti is to have a baby clinic
this week, and will have the assis-
lance of an experienced nurse and
physician from the State Board of
Health, who will spend he entire
week of November 14th doing clinic
work.
At recent clinic held everal weeks
ago, it was found that large num-
Der of the babies of this city were
suffering from the malarial sore,
and it is hoped that everyone will be
greatly interested and assist the
agencies in clearing up this trouble.
The Civic League has advocated this
clinic for some time and 1t was upon
their action that we have secured
the assistance of the State Board of
Health together with the extension
department of home economics of
Missouri University and the County
Agent in putting on this demonstra-
ton. Anyone having knowledge
VI dHy cAloJlh6 tlouOAS VI thAo hotuAS
should get in touch with the Civic
League through any of its members
or Mrs. l.. R. Condit or Mrs. w. j.
Doris, secretary, and help make this
clinic a decided success and for the
betterment of Hayti babies, who are
our future citizens. The success of
the future lies in the education and
health of the present.
The Civic League surely deserves
great deal of credit for their eff
forts in this direction and are filling
long felt need in Hayti. The
League however, cannot do all the
work and search out all of these cas-
es without the assistance of he pub
lie, so If you are aware of any cases
of this kind, please call the atten-
ton of the parents to this demon
stration and have the case reported.
In the health Of each individual is
the health OF the city concerned.
