ALWAYS AT WAR WITH CROWS
Earlicrt White Settlers in America Offered
Bounties for the Heads
of Obnoxious Birds.
The crow was on the American continent
wfieii white men settled here.
He had lived on terras of amity with
the Indians, and when the whites came
he admitted them to his acquaintance.
He thought they were his friends and
he believed that they set out ^wide
fields of corn for his edification and
entertainment. He accepted what he
understood to be the white man's in
* ?- A-.J .1
vltation to ear newiy piameu auu
freshly sprouted corn. In this he erred.
He misjudged the white man. These
early settlers found fault* with the
habits of the crow, and anions the
old statutes, especially those of Maryland
and Virginia, one finds offers of
bounties for the heads of,crows. There
were also bounties for tiie scalps of
wolves, foxes and bears and the heads
of squirrels.
In 1728 the Maryland council and
assembly enacted that each taxable
person in the colony should bring in
each year three heads or scalps of
crows, and the same of squirrels, and
for each additionai crow or squirrel
scalp shtnjld receive two pounds of tobacco.
Statutes having the same aim
' are found in the law books as early as >
36S0, and other acts with revisions and
amendments are found up to and following
the American Revolution.

Wheat 15,000 Years Old.
Wheats which are known to hare

15,000 years ago and which are still
cultivated in certain parts of the world
form part of the new exhibit of cultivated
wheats which have recently
been added to the economic collection
of Field Museum of Natural History
at Chicago.
j Modern cultivated wheats from vp.rious
parts of the world complete the
exhibit. Most of the wheats" Itave been
acquired through the co-operation of
the office of cereal investigation of the
! Department of Agriculture. This dej

Breton farmer's wife about the middle

that there were no insects on it. On

large butterfly flew from the branch.
The butterfly is a pretty fawn in color j

Laws and Customs.
"Do you approve of votes for !
women ?"
"Thoroughly," answered Senator
Sorghum. "I always did approve of
giving women a voice in making the
laws. Only they don't show the disposition
to reciprocate that I hoped
for. They ought to let men mnke a ' <
;few suggestions about the fashions."
"ACTING UP"
A youngster ir. a surly mood
Refused to play or eat his food.
Ilis father said. "I greatly fear
lie needs some discipline severe."
The mother smiled and shook her head,
"Just let the child alone," she said.
"Dad moments come to great aad small. :
lie's merely 'acting up'; that's all.
"He may be weary of the day;
"Vu-ary alike 0f chorus cr play;'
Or weary, as we grown folks grow.
Because the hmirs are dull and slow. j
In just a little while he'll be
A real boy, all g*y and free,
Answering youth's eternal callHe's
merely "acting up'; that's all."
They say that men are grown-up hoys 1
Who play with more expensive toys,
So when a friend seems to forget
True friendliness, I shall not fret,
I'll wait until a brighter day
Dispels the shadows, chill and" gray.
And patiently' these words recall:
"He's merely 'acting up'; that's all."

Charleston, S. C., April 28.?Charleston's
historic citadcl which produced
many of the heroes of the Civil
war is about to he abandoned as a
military school. The city and the
state have provided new quarters foi
the college at a cost of more than a
million dollars.
About the buildings which have become
.'mown as The Citadel, much
history has been wrought. The main

it rolled great hogsheads drawn by
mules, horse and ox from interior
farms. Upper stories were added
from time to time until today the
building is a stalwart structure four
stories high with accommodations for
325 cadets.
After service as a tobacco inspection
warehouse the Citadel was used
for guards who patrolled the city's
magazine on the. outskirts of Charleston,
and it was during this period
that the name Citadel came into common
use in describing the building.
The guards were called Citadel
Guards.
In 1812 the state decided to convert
the Citadel into a military colWo
am) nn December 20 of that
year the South Carolina military college
had its genesis, the "Arsenal"
then at Columbia being used as a
preparatory school.
With the outbrcka of the war between
the states Citadel cadets joined
the Confederate army and some of
the South's most famous soldiers developed
from among them. Citadel
men arc said to have fired the first
shot of the war when the steamer
Star of the West endeavored to bring
supplies to beleagured Fort Sumter.
A piece cf wood from Star of Nthe
West's hull was fashioned into a star
and for upwards of thirty years a replica
has adorned a gold medal awarded
at the school for efficiency at drill,

MOST SERIOUS STATE
1 OF FLOOD SITUATION
' Many Dangerous Developments Over,

at Danger Points
' I
Natchez, Miss., May 1.?The basin
' formed by the Louisiana parishes of
Concordia, Catahoula and parts of
'; Tensas, Avoyelles and LaSalle is being
rapidly filled by the flood waters
of the Mississippi river that is sweeping
through the crevasse near Ferri'
day, La., and the slowness of the rise
| now indicates that within a week the
'! water in the basin will be on a level
iwith the water in the main channel
I
' | of the river. In the vicinity of Shaw,
j Blackhawk and Bougere, v where the
j country was already flooded by back
; waters before the crevasse, water is
j twenty feet deep.
I At Ferriday, the nearest town to
' > the break, a depth of three to five
!feet has been reached, and the rats
of rise is not more than three inches
! in four hours.
j In most of the flooded towns some
!men and a few women and children
remain and have settled down to liv!
ing under flood conditions. Practically
the only business transacted is
by the grocery stores. Marketing is
! done in skiffs and bateaux, customers
rowing directly into the markets.
