BIG WAR SCARE
AGAIN AVERTED.
Huerta Backs Up, and After
Sizing Up the Situation,
Backs Down.
THREATENS TAMPICO.

WASHINGTON, juno S.-Another
crisis in the Mexican difficulty faced
the Washington Government Sunday,
a situation fraught with perils for
mediation and with possibilities that
might precipitate actual warfare be-
tween the United States and Mexico.
Gen. Huerta brought about the new
crisis by ordering his gunboats to
blockade the port of Tampico and to
seize a cargo of ammunition en- route
there for the Mexican Constitutional
lists aboard the steamer Antilla from
New York flying the Cuban flag
Huerta has notified the Powers of the
intent TO blockade the port and that
he proposes to seize the cargo and
consigned to the belligerants against
his sovereignty as counterband OF
war.

HUERTA BACKS DOWN.

WASHINGTON, June S.-Huerta
has decided after all not to blockade
Tampico and force the hand of the
United States with the possibility of
disrupt the mediation proceedings
at Niagara Falls. Mr.. Riano, the
Spanish ambassador, notified Secre-
tray Bryan officially to that effect to-
day.
What actuated Huerta in backing
down does not appear in the brief ad-
vices which reached Washington.

WOMEN OF NIGERIA.
Theis Lips Are Plugged With Wooden

Disks So They Can't Eat Dog.
The women Of northern Nigeria are
not progressing and in their scanty
attire, with tails of grass hanging from
their girdles, are sometimes really gro
tesQue.
To add further to their beauty both
the upper and lower lips of these WON
en- are pierced in order to admit a fat,
round disk Of wood called the tichiak,
which is usually about the size of a
half dollar. The lips of the little girls
are pierced when they are seven or
eight years Of age, and a piece of
wood inserted and worn for time IN
til larger one takes it's place, the
opening thus being gradually enlarged
until full sized tichiak can be carried
without discomfort. The object of this
singularly discomforting adornment is
to prevent the women from eating
dogs, which are considered the greatest
delicacy by the men Of the tribes.
Both sexes decorate their bodies with
regular designs. The chests and backs
Of the little girls are scarified at a
very early age. When they arrive at
manageable age the girls undergo a
further ordeal, for two sets of parallel
lines are cut both on the chest and the
back, and as soon as possible after
marriage the head lines are made
These consist of number of short cuts
across the forehead. extending from cal
to ear, and thirteen long. slanting lines
are cut on each cheek from ear to chin

The Mockinu Bird.

Because of it's incompatible medleys
and initiative powers the mocking bird
is the most renowned singer OF the
western hemisphere. Its place in the
affections of the south is similar to
that occupied by the robin in the north.
1t is we'll that this is true, for the bird
appears not to deserve protection strict
ly from an economic standpoint. About
half of it's diet consists of fruit and
many cultivated varieties, such as Or
anges, grapes, figs, strawberries. black
berries and raspberries, are attacked.
One-fourth of it's food is animal mat
ter, and grasshoppers are the largest
single element.

Bank to Keep Christmas Club Open.

Owing to present business conditions
here. in the closing of the mills for a
time. the bank has decided that it will
extend the time on it's Christmas clubs.
so that later any who may wish to join
may do so by paying up their back
subscriptions or weekly deposits in a
single sum and then continuing their
weekly instalments. This Christmas
club method of saving proved re-
markable success at the Central Saw
ings Bank & Trust company last season
and the bank is glad to continue it
again in the interests of it's depositors
There are four classes to which you
may belong: The two cents per week
first week, four cents the next, six
the next. and so on, to the fiftieth
week, or this same class reversed,
wherein you pay $1.00 the first week
and reduce the deposit two cents each
week for fifty weeks. The five cent
class, which is exactly the same,
except that the sum is five cents more
each week until on the fftieth week
you deposit S. so or this class may be
reversed and you deposit the $3.50 the
first week and decrease the amount by
five cents each week. Most of our
former members of these clubs will
assure you that these small sums each
week are hardly noticeable, while their
Christmas check which they recently
received came at time when it was
certainly most gratefully received.
You will be in position to note the
actual benefit of one Of these clubs it
you join this season and you will GER
tainly have no regrets.
