TOO MUCH SALUTE,
NOT ENOUGH SHOOT
HERO OF WAR DEAL
scrappIns Full Blood Cherokee, John
Rat, Has Fought His
Last Fight

A news dispatch published last week
under Willing, Oklahoma, date line
brought the news that John Rat, full
blood Cherokee, the same man who
made famous his experience in the
army with the curt criticism, TOO
much salute, not enough Shoot" had
been killed by a brother Cherokee at
a country dance near the village OF
Lyons, in eastern Oklahoma.
When John uttered the expression
about Salute" and "shoot" it imme-
diately became famous and was pub
lished all over the country. At the
same moment that he uttered the
historic remark he said, in answer to
a query, what caused the United
States to enter the war, ITO make
the whole I'D world safe for
democratic party
John was some scrapper despite his
small stature, and it is related thai
he fought likt a wildcat, whipping his
man every time until he met his
match and fought his last fight at tbs
country dance ten days ago. Seldom
month passed, the story goes, bat
what he was engged in more or less
serious alteration and he generally
came out on top. 1t is related tina
when he and his company, during the
war, were being moved in fourteen
cars. one man from thirteen Wa'
chosen to give John the coup-de-grac'
He whipped each of the thirteen Sc
lectd to take his scalp and smilingly
invited any of the unwhipped one
to come forward and give him tria
too. No one responded to the happy
invitation.

ROAD SHOWS BIG
PERCENTAGE OF
TRAINS ON TIME

The Texas and Pacific railway used
to be the laughing stock of all travel
ers because of its poor passenger
train equipment and slowness Of
schedule and great percentage Of
trains behind time. Everyone knew
the road catered to freight shipments
alone and it was a standing belief that
the company would rather dc no pass
enger traffic a tall, and only operat-
ed passenger trains because it was
forced to do so by railroad commits
sions of Louisiana and Texas.
There has been a tremendous i'm
provement in the T. and P. and the
officials Of the system have awaken
ed, to a realization that in order to
make their line popular with the ira
Yelling as well as the shipping public
the company would have to put in
commission better passenger equip
ment and operate trains on faster
and more reliable schedules.
After adopting this plan they i'm
mediately put it into operation, and
as a result the report for the month
Of June shows that ninety-seven per
cent of all passenger trains operating
on the system were ION time" some
thing every real railroader's heart
desires. Better service is in effect
on the main line, from New Orleans
to Ell Paso, as well as the numerous
branches in the two states mentioned.
1t was predicted that an even better
report for July operations would be
shown but data for that month are
not now at hand. Unquestionably
there has been improvement in the
Texas and Pacific, and roadbed and
track are being improved all the time
Even the once neglected branch lines
are being repaired. This is evident
by trip over the Opelousas division
where section crews are putting in
thousands of new crossties and clear
ing the track Of grass and weeds and
smoothing out the kinks so long IN
evidence. The system calls on all
its employees to help MAXI it the
best road In the southwest"

Mexican Bean Beetle
Is a Grave Menace
Insect Pest Jumps From West Tex
as to Alabama and Does
Much Damage

University Station Baton Rouge La
Aug. 31.-The Mexican bean beetle,
for many years a serious insect pest
of garden beans cowpeas, and soy
beans in Arizona, Colorado and New
Mexico, was not known to occur east
Of western Texas until the summer
Of 1920, when it was found to be pre-.

around Birmingham, Alabama. 1t ap-

sectio ma year or two previously in

the southwestern states, where it has

Life History
The Mexican bean beetle has, as DO
all beetles, four stages in Its life
cycle-he engg, the larva or grub,
the pupa, and the beetle or adult. All
stages occur on the plants attacked
but only the grub and the beetle DO
damage. They feed upon the green
tissue of the leaves. The grub ls
bright yellow, its body is armed with
numerous spines, and 1t measures
about one-fourth inch in length when
full grown. The beetle is Of about
the same length, is hemispherical IN
shape and yellow in color, with six
teen black spots on its back AS yet
mo very satisfactory method for con-
trolling the pest is known. While 4
might seem that spraying or busting
the plants with a poison, such as ar
senate of lead or Paris green, would
give satisfactory results in killing tho
grubs and beetles, is has not proved
successful in Alabama. This is due
in part to the fact that beans, cow
peas and other legumes are easily in.

So far as is known the Mexican
bean beetle does not occur in Louisl.
ana. The nearest sections where Il
is known to be present are western
Texas on our west and western Ala.
bama on our east. Every effort
should be made to prevent the pest
entering Louisiana insofar as this Is
practical. While there is little that
can be done by avoiding shipments o.
and more or less gradual spread by
the fight OF the beetles, much good
en- be done by avoiding shipments OF
various materials into the state from
infested areas. Through such ship
ments there is danger Of the pest
making a Commercial jump" such as
it did from the southwestern states
into Alabama. When cold weather
comes in the fall the adults seek hib-
ernating quarters about the fields
where they have been feeding. II they
hibernate in material, such as baled
hay, baled straw, and boxes Of goods
that is later shipped to other points
they are naturally transported with
it. This appears to be the way in
which Commercial jumps" are most
apt to occur though it is possible for
the pest to be scattered in other ways

oReANINzE ASSOCIATION
TO BOOST MANUFACTURERS

New Orleans, La, Sept 5.-Tne
Louisiana Manufacturers association
recently organized by some of the
most representative captains of indus
try from the various parts of the
state, has moved into its permanent
quarters in the Whitney-Central bank
building here and is formulating
pIans for carrying on the work Of
the association chiefly towards max
ing conditions as favorable as posi-
BILE for industrial prosperity.
The officers of the association are;
Wilmer H. johnson, PRESIDENT; Chas.
H. Behre, DR.. w. D. Haas, S. Oden-
heimer, vice-presidents, and P. Jung,
Jr., secretary and treasurer. Bryan
Bell has accepted the appointment to
act as manager. All OF the officers
and manager of the Louisiana man
ufacturer's association are serving
without pay of any kind. They are
working for the advancement of
Louisiana, and the development of
the manufacturing resources Of the
state.
1.-THE sole desire OF the associa-
tion,' said Mr.. Bell, 'fis to further the
advancement of industrial conditions
and the welfare of Louisiana on
which depends the welfare of its in
dustries. The association takes the
position that what is good for Louis
lana as a whole is good for the man
ufacturing interests, and what is
good for the manufacturing interests
is good for Louisiana and its citizens
regardless of their occupation"
Louisiana Of recent years has evolv-
ed from an agricultural into a manu-
featuring state. The total produc-
ton, worth about $500, 900, 900, accord
ing to the figures of the United States
census, ranks it as fourteenth in the
list of American manufacturing
states. 1t is the thirty-six state to
have a manufacturers association,
combining all the interests in one or
ganization.
There are more than 1000 manu-
featuring establishments in Louisi-
ana. Their annual payroll is $780,
100000 and their investment is $780,
100000. The raw material used by
them amounts to more than 100000
900 a year. salaried employees have
increased "A per cent since 1914, and
wage earners q per cent.
Membership in the new association
is open to every manufacturers in
the state The dues are $40 where
the investment is $4,000 or less;
$40 up to $4,000; $50 up to $50 1000;
$40 up to 100000; $50 up to $3.50, 700;
SIS up to 100000 and 500 for an in
vestment of 100000 and over.
The officers of the association ex-
press much qualification at the num-
Der of manufacturers who are volun-
tarily sending in membership applica-
lions even before any effort has been
made to obtain members. They feel
confident the membership will include
practically all the manufacturers of
the state, which will make it the larg-
est and most effective organization
for the development of the states in
dustries.

MAGGIE AND JIGGS AT THE
GOLDEN GATE

with apologies to an unknown

st. Peter stood guard at the golden
gate,
With a solemn mien and an air Sc

When up to the top of the golden
stair,
Maggie and Jiggs, ascending there,
Applied for admission, they came and
stood
Before st. Peter, so great and good;
In hope the city of peace to win,
And asked St. Peter to let them in.
Maggie was tall and dark and thin
With a scraggly beardlet on her chin.
Jiggs was short and thick and stout,
And his stomach was built so it
rounded out.
His face was pleasant and all the
while
He wore a kindly and genial smile.
The choir in the distance the echoes
woke,
And Jiggs kept still while Maggie
spoke.

she,

TO let us enter the heavenly land,
And play our harps with the angel

Then he arose in his stature tall,
And he pressed a button upon the
