Tallahasse, Fla., Dec. 17.?In an j ' x J n I open letter given out tuuay ^uvcmui Sidney J. Catts, of Florida, threatens to go to West Palm each, Fla., with his "double-barreled shotgun loaded with buckshot" and have a "final settlement" with Joe L. Earman, president of the State Board of Health and publisher of the Palm Beach Post, a daily newspaper. The chief executive states in his j letter that he does not want "any I trouble" with Mr. Earman but that he j is tired of his "tyranny, arrogance j and big stick bossing" and that "this j is the last warning." The letter from Governor Catts fol-! lows publication by Mr. Earman in his; paper of an article which the chief j executive characterizes as "a page \ . and a half of virtuperations and bit- I terness against him on account of re-j instating Edgar Thompson, state's at- j torney at West Palm Beach." Governor Catts writes that he is "not mad" with Mr. Earman and that he is "not going to remove" him from office, but states: "I am not going to let you rule and boss me at your whim and pleasure. I am a man and stand in a man's place and 1 do not run away from any West Palm Beachers when they hang me ineffigy as you did when they hung you." In conclusion he says: "If you publish any more pages in your paper like this last one or bother me or my business or my children any more, I will go to West Palm Beach with my double-barreled shotgun loaded with buckshot and have a final settlement j with you." * Keller-Kinard. j Miss Eleanor Margaret Kelley. of; Lake Mahapoc.

Buenos Aires, Dec. 18.?A plague of locusts, like that which in ancient Egypt "covered the face of the earth" this year descended upon the province of Sante Fe. Similar offenses are almost annual events in one part or another of Argentina. The locusts came suddenly and without warning. Where for a year or several years perhaps not one of the insects has been seen, a veritable cloud of them will one day appear and settle on the ground. These usually come from the northwest, from the vast almost uninhabited areas in Bolivia, it is supposed. They cover the earth like a moving carpet, gradually moving on. At first little damage is done, aside from the inconvenience of having literally millions of the insects covering everything and even penetrating the houses. But as they progress through thp pnnnrrv ihev bore holes into the earth, preferably in hard spots such as roadways, into whoch they deposit their eggs. Within a short time the larva are hatched and come forth. At first these can not fly, and it is at this stage th&t they devour every living plant within their path, with the exception of a few species such as willow trees. A little later the insects develop their wings and, leaving the count' through which they pass a desert, they disappear almost as suddenly as they came. Where they go to has never been discovered. Argentina has had recourse to many methods of fighting the locusts. The nation maintains organized locust fighting squads, something like those formed to fight forest fires, and these are sent out every x? ^ n TT rl Arl T Y1 o fl_ 3'Ccir CO CIIO &ei'UUUO ill v w. jl xi uu dition every rancher is held responsible for fighting the pest in his own locality. One of the methods employed is to dig trenches in which the insects are collected, afterwards being burned. But no matter how many millions of them are made away with in any such manner, it is impossible to block the pest owing to the great extent of Argentina. much of which is still very sparsely settled. :?
