Note Of Thanks
f.. Y. Dendy

We want to thank and assure our
many friends that 1t Is impossible for
us to express with words our feelings
and appreciation for the sympathy and
kindness shown us in our recent i'll
ness and death OF our darling Carl
Edward Bobo.
Our neighbors and Laurcns friends
were SO nice and thoughtful in their
sympathy and help. And the Cross
Hill people, teachers and school, al
most strangers to us, but we do not
think of you as strangers any more,
you were so nice to us that we will
never forget 1t.
And we, who knew little Carl best,
can assure every one that he had q
little heart OF love and appreciation
for It, all (the flowers). He loved
beautiful flowers and we loved him
so much.
Father and Mother,
Grandfather and Grandmother,

The writer reaches the conclusion
that while there has been increased
agitation and legislative activity on
the subject of tobacco following the
success of the drive for prohibition
Of liquor the efforts of refOrmers seek
ing to abolish tobacco have no general
support, This opinion is based on the
results of the missionaries on the
subject sent out to newspaper editors
of the country by the Press Service
Company of New York City.
The questions asked we're:
ID Do you favor the enactment of
laws prohibiting the personal use Of
tobacco by adults?
(2) In your judgment does the gen.
eral sentiment of your community
favor such legislation?
(3) Is the use Of tobacco personal

No arguments accompanied the ques-
lions and from their form 1t was i'm
possible for any editor to determine
the attitude of the questioners.
Out Of 12,51S editors questioned,
7,S47 replied according to the summary

that $50 editors In answering the first

Insect Pests Threaten Crops.

The japanese beetle, brought in
about the same time as the peach
moth, has already gained such firm
foothold that, in view of its habits
and prolonged flight, it is probably in
capable of determination and may ulti-
mately overspread the United States.
Another foreign pest In comparatively
recent years Is the European corn
borer. Infestations have been discov-
cred In several states, and local quar-
antines by the federal horticultural
board have been instituted to prevent
the spread to the corn belt.

National Capital Mourns Loss Of
One OF Her Bestowed Men In
Public Affairs.

Washington. Edward Douglas
White. chief justice of the Supreme
Court OF the United States, died here
early in the morning of May 49, The
Chief Justice did not arouse from the
coma into which he sank two days
previous, following an operation for
bladder trouble.
Mrs. White and two nieces, Miss
Anne Montgomery and Miss Mary
Broussard, were at his bedside when
the end came. A Catholic priest also
was present, the Rev. FIR. S. j. Cree
don, of Georgetown University.
Funeral services were conducted
Saturday morning at st. Mathews
Church and interment took place in
lakewood cemetery. The death of
the veteran Chief Justice cast
shadow of sorrow over the capital and
officials of the nation turned out to
pay their last respects to one who
during his long years Of service on
the supreme bench, had grown in the
admiration and esteem of the entire
community.
The chief justice, who was rs years
old, had enjoyed rugged health up to
the time he was forced to submit to
the recent operation for bladder
trouble, and his record Of attendance
on the supreme bench was traditional.
Born in Louisiana and serving the
Confederate Army in the campaign
OF the Civil War, he became a ma
tional figure in 1891, on his election
to the United States Senate. He serv-
ed there only three years, however,
President Cleveland appointing him
to the Supreme Court in 1894. He
was made Chief Justice in 1910 by
President Taft, who disregarded the
justice from his own party, and it was
Justice White who administered the
oath Of Office to Woodrow Wilson and
President Harding.
Mr.. Whites first opinions on the
bench indicated that he was a strong
adherent of the school of Chief JUS
tice Marshall.
The hope Of the republic, he insist
ed at every opportunity, lay in the SUI
preme power of the Federal Govern
mfsnt to control it's affairs, and his
dissenting opinions to any decision
which seemed to him to have the
least tendency toward undermining
that power are cited by lawyers and
court attendants as masterpieces of
logic and eloquence.
