FROM WAT DOWN
IN SUNNY TEXAS
Excepts  From   a  Letter Written by
Jay .DePuy to- His Parents.
MOVIE AUTHOR
AT CHAUTAUQUA
Producer of Famous Youth Series of
Pictures to Lecture.
We are privileged to print the
following excerpts from a letter to
his parents, Mr., and Mrs Edward DePuy by their son, Jay, who since leaving Saline several years ago, has
been doing big iconstruction work in
Texas:
A.-m still over at Sabine getting the
jetty job started, and it isi one of the
most difficult I have yet attempted. *
* Ned's school Is out in July and as
soon as we can get away after that
we are going to start north.
Mr. Moody Is building an addition;
to the city hall in San Antonio with
Freeland on as foreman, so he Is busy.
Mr. Perrin in the stone plant has
twice as much -work as ever before,
so he hasn't any time to waste either.
.Altogether we are pretty busy.
On this job we are bargeing the
rip-rap out five miles from. Sabine,
taking about twelve cars of rock out
on each barge with a tow boat. First
under the rock goes a brush mattress
four feet thick and in sections 100
feet square. We got the first stone
out and sunk yesterday and it -was a
big job. We "build these mats on a
skid, or launching ways, on the bank
and the pol.es and brush are -wired
through and through, so they can't
come apart, then they are launched
by putting about 30 jacks under them
•to slide them off the skiffs. These
mats go right out in the Gulf of Mexico at the end of the jetty and the
currents of the water at the end of
the jetty make it interesting to get
the anchors set and tied PToperly.
We use anchors which weigh over a
ton each and we put steel plates
three feet square on the :fluke of each
anchor to make it hold in the mud.
We have a. new tow boat which has
a 360 horse power Diesel engine, and
she sure is a good one.
There are lots of mosquitoes here,
as there are miles and miles of
swampy landa all along this part or
the coast, but they are not the ma,-
laria type but the. salt waier kind.
They can bite like any other kind,
though, and then some.
Occasionally in the larger cities
"personal appearances" of motion pic-
•ture celebrities are advertised in connection -with a film In which they
are appearing, but to our knowledge
no author of a filmed story has here-,
tofore made a tour appearing In connection, with the showing of his film.
On the third day of our Community
Chautauqua Judge Willis Brown,
author of more than 30 motion picture stories, known as "The Judge
Brown Series," is to .appear ini oqj-
nectloh with a two'reel feature film
entitled, '''Danny Asks Why." Judge
Brown is nationally known as a
worker -with boys and girjs and his
film productions are all stories of
youths Following the showing of
"Danny Asks Why" on the same
night of the chautauqua, Judge Brown
will talk on the subject "The Challenge of Youth." •
Other .attractive features of the
Chautauqua this year are The
Humphreys Symphonic Ensemble, in
programs of fine music; Eleetra
Piatt and Verne Stone, fun-makers
a unique travel lecture by Carveth
Wells, the famous tEngllsh engineer;
a four act historical drama, "The
House of Rimmon;" a mystery com,-
edy "Wandering Spooks;" a program
of negro music hy Washington's
Southland Singers, a company made
famous by its radio broadcasting and
phonograph* recording activities; a
vo'cal, and entertainment musical program; hy tibe Kackley Players and a
three act comedy-dramac, "Let's Go
Somewhere.™
-Unquestionably this year's Chautauqua offers to. season ticket holders an exceptional entertainment
valne.

THIS WO.MAN'S SON
KNOWS THE DATE
Absolute knowledge have I none,
But my aunt's washerwoman's son
Heard at policeman on his beat
Say to a laborer on the street
That he had a letter just last week
Hand written in the finest Greek
From a Chinese ,coolie in Timbuetoo
Who said that a. son in Cuba knew!
Of a colored gent in a Texas town
Who got it, right from a circus clown
That a man in Klondyke got the news
From a gang of smooth American.
Jews
About some feller in Borneo
Who   knew  ai  man  who claimed to
know
A hermit who lived beside a lake
Whose mother-in-law wil! undertake
To prove a friend's sister's niece
Has stated in, a nicely written piece
That she has a son who knows about
The date the new Ford Car comes out.

Efforts to develop corn varieties
which will prove resistant to, the attacks of tlie European corn borer are
being made at the Michigan State
college experimental station at Monroe.
The effect of the time of corn
planting in relation to. the damage
done by the corn borer is being observed in expermental plots. Four
plantings have been made with different varieties of corn. The first
lot was planted on April 27, and the
other three, at intervals of two weeks
each.
Tests are also being made with late
planted corn strains which hawe been
fertilized in order to speed up growth.
Two foreign varieties, of corn are
included In the experiments. One is
Argentine Flint from South America,
and the other is Maize Aniargo imported from South Africa.- Tests at
the station last year showed that the
borer moths avoided them. The corn,
however did not -mature. This season, the3r have been crossbred with
somie of the standard Michigan corns
in order to hasten their maturity.
The experiments are being eonduiet-
ed under natural and artificial conditions. Small cages have been erected
over the various plots and maile and
females moths liberated in the cages.
Counts of the egg clusters deposited
by the female moths are made daily
in both the caged and uncaged. Data
will also be kept on the amount of
damage clone after eggs hatch out into borers. These observations will
'continue until is it time- to harvest
corn. It is expected that much information of a practical nature will
be obtained as a result of thse* experiments.
