LOUISIANA PUBLICITY COMMITS
SION BULLETIN No. I.

In this, our first bulletin, submitted
to the press of the state, We desire to
set forth the aims of this commission
in condensed form.
First and foremost, We hope to give
practical publicity to our state by a
campaign in The interest of the pro-
ducers and shippers of Louisiana pro-
ducts. First distributing our products
so far as practical within our state, and
proftably marketing the surplus out
side the state, bring outside money TO
Louisiana; to establish bureau in the
North to facilitate the sale of perish
able crops.
We wish to assist in home eXploita-
ton, encouragement and organization,
gathering and publishing reliable in
formation about our products. Our Ill
innate aim being to demonstrate to the
people and our legislature that this
work must be taken up and further de-
veloped by the state.
At present, the Corn Crop" is at.
tracing our interest. We find that the
corn territory, as indicated by answers
so far secured to four hundred inquir
les, will yield large surplus and a
conference with Mr.. Mason Snowden
state agent of the Federal Co-Opera
tive and Demonstration Work, indi
Gates that large portion of this sur
plus should be distributed within the
state.
Facilities for Smelling are Inadequate
in many territories, and we would be
glad to put those of the state who may
need to purchase feed, in touch with
those offering corn for sale. This done,
together with the cash derived from
export sales, will demonstrate that
Louisiana is the place for the corn
farmer to look for corn land.
Short forage crops in the North and
West will induce early feeding of stock
and the present apparent shortage will
in all probability be more manifest as
the winter advances.
1t is not our intention to offer fore
casts on the corn or other markets, but
as the September corn option has
merged into the cash month, the IN
loading Of September corn by small
spectators, supplemented by a sys
tematic and timely unloading of a por-s
ton OF many large holdings has, in all
probability, put the available cash corn
into strong hands and this observation
Is the basis of our suggestion that as
much of Louisiana's corn as possible
should be held and fed in Louisiana.
We are compiling a list of growers
OF pure bred seed corn, oats and other
1arm seeds, also of pure bred stock of
all Kinds. Those who are producers of
any OF the above. as well as those who
nave need to purchase, should address
this office. We want to help to get
producer and customer together. II
the farmers will make free use of tbis
service it will many times over Justify
the expense Of its operation.
We are assured the cooperation of
4 number Of the state and Federal de-
as well as the railroads. in
our directory of Louisiana
producers, and We ask the cooperation
II every citizen along these lines.

PLEDeE-sIeNINe CAMPAIGN
Preliminary to National Temperance
Convention in 1914

In accordance with the call made
by the international general secre-
tary, Marion Lawrence, for one mill
ion pledge signers in 1913. it is hoped
that the Sunday schools of Benning-
ton county will conform to the plan
of the temperance department, and
carry out campaign of pledge-sign-
ing with March 9th our first quarter
ly temperance Sunday.
The international pledge is the one
recommended by the association, but
any total abstinence pledge may be
used
The thought of the general secre-
tary is to secure one million sigma
lures to the. temperance pledge be-
fore the international convention, to
be held in Chicago in 1914. Remem-
Der, we are not undertaking. this cam
paign just to achieve great thing,
but because of what it will mean to
the cause of temperance and total alb
stinence.
Our quarterly temperance sessions
are as follows: March 9th, June 22d
Anti-Cigarette day, Sept 21st, Novem
Der 9th, worlds temperance Sunday
If each Sunday school in Benning
ton county would appoint at once a
temperance secretary to plan for and
carry out this work cooperating with
the superintendent and teachers, we
believe it would result in a far-reach-
ing influence for temperance in our
county.

DoRR FOUND GUILTY
Is Convicted of the Murder Of Old
Man Marsh.

Salem, Mass, Feb. 27.-William A.
Dorr of Stockton, Calf, was found
guilty today of the murder of George
Z. Marsh of Lynn.
The jury in the Essex County SUI
perior court was out nearly two
hours.
In his closing argument, counsel
for the defendant said Ii was not
claimed that his client was insane
and no evidence to support such a
theory was offered. Nevertheless, in
charging the jury, Judge Joseph F.
Quinn stated that if the Jurors be-
lieyed Dorr to have been insane they
might return verdict of not guilty
by reason of insanity. A dramatic
touch was added by the prisoner who,
when the court was about to charge
the jury, rose from his seat in his
steel cage, pale and trembling, and
cried OUT
Il have just few words | would
like to say TO reassert what | have
said on the stand Although | am 1000
miles away from home, feel that
this jury will do what is right"
The death of Marsh and the trial of
Dorr developed several peculiar. stu
atoms. The body of the soap manu-.
facturer. who was II years of age
and wealthy, was found on the marsh
es of Lynn on April ~, 1912. He had
been shot four times. So far as known
he had no enemy and suspicion first
fell on Dorr when he returned to mis-
home in Stockton, Calf, after a hur.
ried visit in the East.
II was found that he had masquer.
AIDED in Lynn as Willis A. Dow. and
so made the acquaintance of Marsh.
The latter was not seen alive after
he got into an automobile for a ride
with Door on the afternoon of April
ii, last Later in a diary owned by
Dorr, the police found rambling a,
count Of how the writer had hired a
negro to "do the job"

SAVED HIS SON
From Constitutional Decline

So many cases like this are coming
to our attention for the benefit of IA
theirs and mothers of weak, sickly,
ailing children in this vicinity we
publish the following letter-Mr.
Richard Rush of Columbus, Ind.
says: 81 believe I am indebted to
the valuable medicinal properties of
Vinol for the health of my little son
Dale. He had a severe attack of
whooping cough and measles, which
affected his lungs and general con-
stitution. We tried several other
remedies without benefit, then com.
menced using Vinol and | take pleas
ure in acknowledging my confidence
in its restorative and reconstructive
virtues, for my little son is the pic
ture of health now, all due to the use
of Vinol."
This is because the child needed
the strengthening cod liver elements
and the tonic iron that Vlnol con-
tains No oil. delicious taste. Chill
