NEW FLOOD STAGE FOR MISSISSIPPI i RECORD WILL BE BROKEN, SAYS EXPERT t>r. Cline Calls for Maximum of Twenty-three Feet Early in May The State. New Organs, April 18.?Predicting that the Mississippi river would Exceed by one foot the highest flood stage ever attained here, Dr. I. M. Cline, forecaster of the New Orleans ' i weather bureau, issued a revised forecast today calling for a maximum of 23 feet betwen May 1 and 10. The previous rrcord, which was established in 1912. was 22 feet. The forecaster stated that recent rains over the Mississippi valley and unfavorable winds which have re- j tarded the flow of excessive volume of water ir.to the Gulf of Mexico have intensified flood conditions and made the new p-ediction necessary. Today's upward revision of flood stages is the fourth that has been issued since early in March when 20 feet was predicted.

Lovers of cabbage will welcome the pronouncement of the experts at Cornell's College of Agriculture, a ( claimins: the merits of this succulent vege- ! table. Cabbage is a subject the (lis- ; cussion of which is not considered good social usajje. For some inscrutable reason to acknowledge a fondness ; fur it rlnpy not rni>?> one in the esti niatiou of professing epicures, writes H. Young in the Providence .Journal. Cabbage is rich in iron and othur . mineral salts, it contains a moderate amount of growth-promoting substance and the American people should eat ' more of it than is their habit, accord- ; ing to the Cornell propagandists. ' Have we not heard, too, that it con- ? tains these precious, if as yet uniden- ; tilled elements called vitamines? This rabbaire renort suczests that Ameri cans do not cook it properly, as a rule, , and that may explain why appreciation of it is not more general. It should be "plunged into boiling saliei : water and left t!:ere for 20 minutes. 1 no longer, uncovered"?instead of he- ' ing confined to a tightly-covered re- , ceptacle for an indefinite period. The practice of covering the dish ; has grown up because of a convention- i al disinclination to having the house : filled with the perfume of boiling cab- ; bage. But to a hungry cabbage lover > this fragrance is one of the vegetable's charms. It exercises, as one may say. | an agreennie psycnoiogicai un.iifim-. There are. of course, divers ways of serving cabbage, all of them good. And , since our tastes ar^ often ruled by the judgment of authority, it may be believed tbat a widening circle of con fessing cabbage enters will be the eon- < sequence of Cornell's approving ver < diet. SHORTAGE IN PANTS SUPPL.r j i Evidently Pionsers' Wardrobes Were, ' at Least to a Certain Extent, Unpleasantly Limited.

He slept in an j "outside" room, the space between the [ logs being unfilled. The old-fashioned j feather bed with wool blankets pro- : teeted him from the zero weather. It so happened that tho young man { wore the style at that date, buckskin pants. Thoughtlessly on retiring he laid his pants on top of the bedclothes. A coyore or wolf crawled through the cracks between the logs in the night and carried his pants away. The theft was revealed when i the young man was called for breakfast, and to cap the climax, not an extra pair of pants was* to be had. The young man was forced to stay In . bed and send a bey eight miles to his home for pants. There was only one pair in his family, those worn by his father. Thus the father had to go to bed and send tb* boy these pants in order that the latter could get back hnmo?Tnrliananolis Xe\VS. Altogether Too Suggestive.

DOMINICK OPPOSES SHIP SUBSIDY BILL Representative From South Carolina Thinks Legislation is Undemocratic and Un-American J The State. Washington, April i?.? inc proposed ship subsidy bill is un-demo cratic and un-American an.! should be defeated, according to a statement made today by Representative Fred H. Dominick of South Carolina, in reply to inquiries from the chamber of commerce of Newberry. Mr. Dominick is the first South Carolinian in the house formally to express himself regarding this topic. His telegram follows: "In my opinion, the ship subsidy which is proposed is dangerous in principle, and violates settled democratic doctrines. I shall vote againr.st it when it comes before the house. If shipping is subsidized there will be no excuse to refuse a subsidy to other industries and pursuits, including agrciulture, for which there would be reason. I hope the chamber of commerce and our people generally will not be influenced in this Matter by the propaganda of the shipping interests and the Republican party." H. W. R.
