Plaque Melted by an Illiterate
Voodoo Doctor.
New Orleans.—An illiterate voodoo
doctor who kept a rattlesnake for u
pet found a lead plaque marking the
original French , claim to Louisiana
territory, melted* K into bullets and
shot it away, according to a story told
the Louisiana Historical society.
Worth of the relic today to larger
historical societies would have been aa
much as $1,000,000. Frank H. WaddlU,
engineer and vice president of the
Historical society, said.
This is W’addill’s story of the claim,
and of the pia^ue which was destroyed
years later when it was found by the
voodoo doctor hunter:
“Rene Robert Cavelier de LaSalle
with 22 Frenchmen and 31 Indiana for
mally took possession of Louisiana on
April 9, 1682, at a point about 70 miles
below New Orleans. He claimed the
land from the gulf to Canada between
the Rockies and the Alleghenies in the
name of Louis XVI.
“He erected n column, set np a
wooden cross and plaque with the In
scription in I>atin ‘Louis the Great
Reigns, April 9, 1682.’
“Four years later the evidence of the
ceremony there had vanished.
“Then about 1895 a hunter known
as Vilgere Dinet dug np a leaden
plaque from an Indian monnd near
there. On it were three rows of In
scriptions.
“He decided it was Indian writing.
Natives there, generally illiterate,
could not read it.
“One day I told George Lee Hays,
a friend -of mine in that district, the
story of the missing plaque and I said
I would hunt for it if I were younger.
“ ‘Why; 1 know about that plaquef
Hays sdid, and he then told of its dirf-
covery and how Dinet had melted It
and shot it away.
“The plaque to Dinet* was ‘just an
old Indian relic.”’

ALL any weevil asks is a chance—one chance.
Once he gets busy with a square, the boil is
gone. Reports indicate enough weevils this year
to ruin the crop, if they get a chance.
Whether they get it or not, depends pretty
much on you. —

Farm Agent Notes.
Ore Pail Turns Mining
Town Into Ghost City
Sacramento. Calif. — A mile-high
tram line, with its ore buckets creep
ing along glistening cables, is- taking
away the life blood of one of Cali
fornia’s famous mining towjis. An
other “ghost” city is in the making.
Towns have boomed and then dis
appeared since tiie discovery of gold
in 1848. but no exodus has *been so
strange as Mils one high over the
glistening snows of the Sierra range.
The famous Walker copper mine
virtually lias been forced to cease op
erations. More than 350 men, most of
them with families, will have to look
for work elsewhere.
Snowdrifts 20 feet deep rut off the
mine from civilization. The "tram”
is the only way out.
So the impulntion of the little town
that has been built up around the
mine is disappearing over the tram
way—two at a time—eighteen a day
at best. By the shortest route it is
70 miles.
It’s a novel way to start looking
for a new home. For nine miles the
ore buckets wing over the mountains
—the Grizzly range. 7,000 feet high—
and the deep valleys so far below that
giants look dwarfted—until Spring
Garden and “civilization” finally are
reached.
Offers Wife Trunkful of
Money; She Rejects It
Chicago. — Maurice Llppert, 9109
Commercial avenue, owner of a trunk
full of money and bonds, was sent to
jail by Judge Daniel Trade for nonpay
ment of $160 alimony to Anna, his
estranged wife, to whom he met
through a matrimonial agency.
His suggestion that Anna take the
whole trunk full and leave him in
peace was instantly spurned by her.
“I want my $T00 and that’s all I
want,” said she. "Let him keep his
trunk. I’ve looked through it The
money in it is in Russian rubles, pre
war, and the bonds are pre-war Ger
man.”
Weevils can’t hurt a crop much, once the bolls
are set. Because of the heavy infestation this
year, set your crop as early as you can.
Nothing takes the place of a Chilean Nitrate
side-dressing for making an early crop. There is
no way a little money could be better invested
now than for 100 pounds (200 pounds would be
better) of Chilean Nitrate to side-dress each acre
of your cotton.
Don’t fail to specify Chilean Nitrate when
you see your dealer. That is just as important as
side-dressing itself.
Get busy! The weevils will be plenty busy soon.

Many farmers are just getting
stands cf cotton since some rains hav e
come. Chopping should be close,
leaving a thick stand, then immediate
ly apply .some sulphate of ammonia or
nitrate of soda. Early applications
have given the greatest returns in
cotton.
Although cotton is cheap, those
acre s planted should be well cared for
in order to produce a good yield,
jnaking the c:st per pound for produc
tion as little a* possible. Control the
early weevil and cultivate often.
There never was a more important

Educated Mule Can
Walk on Snowshoes
Sherridon, Man.—An educated
mule which walks on snowshoes
is the latest addition to the
transportation facilities of north
ern Manitoba.
Natives of this northern
tripping find mining center were
becoming somewhat bored by
the frequent arrivals of roaring
airplanes, screaming locomotives
and harking dog teams when Bill
Klnowick walked in from his
trap line* with his snowshoeing
mule pulling s toboggan. The
snowshoes are approximately 18
inches in diameter. Klnowick
taught ihe aniinaLhow to use
them while working on hia trap
lines 000 miles north of here,
and now. the mule refuses to
walk in the snow without them.
The animal makes good speed
over the high drifts.
