ANTI-TUBERCULOSIS LEAGUE
MEETS HERE MAY 18th

The annual meeting of the Whit
man County Anti-Tuberculosis
League will be held at Pullman on
Thursday, May II, at the Parish
hall. The work of the society has
grown to be of such Importance that
every community in the county
should be represented at this meet
ing; the principal purpose of which
is to elect officers for the coming
year.
DR.. Osler says: THE fight against
tuberculosis is not a doctors affair;
it belongs to the entire public" The
Crusade of the Double-barred Cross
needs help in the following ways
greater public interest, more hos
pitfalls, more nurses, more open aid
schools, more individual and more
community responsibility.
Mrs. A. p. Johnson, of Garfield,
president of the league, has planned
a full years work in nutrition. the
purpose of which is to improve the
condition of every underfed and I'M
dernourished child in Whitman
county. In order to accomplish this
result there must be active workers
in each community.
1t is almost unbelievable that in
a county as productive and rich as
Whitman county there should be any
underfed children but an investiga-
ton. conducted by the league re-
vealed the fact that there are many
of them, and these are most likely
to become victims of tuberculosis.
Everyone who is interested in
making Whitman county boys and
girls one hundred per cent fit, physi-
cally, morally and mentally should
be sure to attend the meeting at
Pullman on Thursday, May II.

STORAGE BATTERY
GOES TO PARLOR

The ordinary convention of a stor-
age battery is a box covered with
some sort of black sticky paint Most
of them were not intended for par
lor display But the fact that a neat
and finished appearance is appreciat-
ed by automobile owners has been
shown by the reception OF the all
rubber battery, produced by the Will
lard Storage Battery company.
And the happiest part of it all, ,"
says ]. E. Scherman, local Willard
battery dealer, is the fact that the
one-piece rubber case invented by the
Willard company makes an ideal CON
tainer for the new Willard radio "A"
battery. It can be nicely polished
and makes a very attractive addition
to the radio set"
The men who have spent so many
years of hard work developing the
automobile starting and lighting bat
terry and the railway and central sta
tion storage batteries never expect
ed the battery to go to the parlor
but that day like many other unex-
peeted things has arrived.

EVAN BEATS PULLMAN
IN SECOND LEAGUE GAME
Eleven Hits by Visitors and Numer-
Gus Errors by Locals Result i'm
Defeat of Pullman Team

Pullman got off to an suspicious
start with three runs in the first
inning of the Pullman-Ewan league
baseball game Sunday afternoon,
but the visitors soon cultivated q
friendship for "Busher" Lewis fast
ones and in the last two innings put
over an avalanche of runs that would
have won anybodys baseball game.
The final score was IL to for
Evan.
Neal Dow, first man up for Pull
man, raped out a three-base hit.
Muller and Jensen followed with sin
giles and an error by the EVAN sec
ond baseman brought the total OF
runs to three. EVAN scored three
in the second on hits and errors and
added two more in the fourth. Pull
man made it five all in the fifth on
doubles by Austell and Stairett
Four hits and three errors in the
sixth put six men across the pan for
EVAN and Pullmans chances went
glimmering, Another tally by EVAN
in the final frame made the score
II to 5.
Evan raped the ball for II safe
hits, including five doubles, while
Pullman bastmen whanged the ball
safely 10 times, including four dou-
bles and pair of triples Grievous
errors by the Pullman team turned
the tide to victory for Evan.

the audience interested in the play,
just as it interested the Elizabethans,
and not as a classic Just as
Hampden did in Hamlet" in which
he established record of consecu-
tive performances in New York, un-
equaled since Edwin Booth so he
does with all his plays: he makes
the drama enjoyable, for the plays
were written as entertainments and
not as specimens" of literature.
Walter Hampden in "Shylock,
which the New oYrk Times believes
to be "the most zestfully acted of
all his plays" departs from the ira
ditional Shylock of Irving and pre-
sents truly terrifying figure. He
makes him a mean, avaricious old
codger, to whom money is above
everything But the message in the
play, as Mr.. Hampden believes
Shakespeare conceived it, is not one
of race prejudice. Rather, it is the
triumph of Divine justice over man
made laws, which is eXemplified in
the courtroom scene, And so, as
Mr.. Hampden plays the part, he
makes Shylock kneel before the duke
"a proceeding that none of his
predecessors in the part have done
and avoids having him spit at Anto-
Mo on his exit from the room which
occasiOned much wonderment and
comment, until Mr.. Hampden's rea-
sons for playing the part as he does
came out.

Pedro Boudin, Well-Known and Sue
cessful Builder, Is Awarded
Contract - Structure to
Cost So, ,200.00-Work
to Begin at Once.
COUNTY TO RECEIVE ASSIST
ANCE WITH EXPENSE.
New Landing Will Bring Ferry 10
More Central Point in City
New Ferry Boat Is Ready
and Expected to Arrive
During the Month.

Pursuant to advertisement, the
Baard of Supervisors on Monday
last received bids for the construc-
ton of the new ferry landing, to be
built on the de Montluzin property,
directly north of the Echo Bldg.
Pedro Boudin of Bay ST. Louis,
was the best bidder, 100000. How
ever, during the afternoon before
signing up with Mr.. Boudin the
Board reconsidered the matter and
came to the conclusion the amount
was in excess of what it's members
thought the amount ought to be and
to come within the county's estimate
and pocket.
Besides Mr.. Boudin's there was
only one other bid, that of Mr.. Lee
for $4,000. The bidding was cried
out in the open in front Of the court
house door.
Consequently it was thought best
to reject all bids and to readvertise
for bids to be entertained at the
regular May meeting of the Board.
After conference held with Mr..
Boudin that same afternoon, and
after deliberations, he consented in
order not to delay this important
work further and to come within
the limit of the county to modify his
bid, and 100000 was decided upon
and accepted.
The contract, dfawn,s.signed ard
delivered, Mr.. Boudin at once set
about to actively enter upon the
work and already has ordered his
material. Following it's arrival he
will at once set a force of men to
work and the big pier rushed to
completion as quickly as possible.
The Echo notes with interest the
success of Mr.. Boudin, a local man,
securing the contract. He is both
capable and splendidly equip to do
the work, and that it will be satis-
factorily done goes without saying.
A share of the burden of the ex-
pense of building this public wharf
will be borne by the city of Bay st.
Louis in the amount of 100000,
payment to be made next year when
the city will waive collection of the
advalorem taxmonies due the city
by the county.
Capt. John Drackett, owner of
the ferry, in order to induce the
change of location of landing, will
also contribute 100000.
The new ferry boat, in the pro-
cess of building this winter, is fin
ished, and only awaits official in
speceion and the government O. K.
1t is expected here sometime during
the present month.
