La Casa Blanca busca
I'm conflicto armada
con Mexico.

En- IN discurso que pronunci6
en- ell Congreso ell jueves 1ltimo,
ell diputado republican, Gillette,
de Massachusetts, atac6 duramen
tie al Secretario de Estado, Mr..
Bryan, diciendo que Ia politica de
los Estados Unid0s en- relaci6n
con los asuntoS mexicanos, no te-
MIA otro fin que buscar IN con-
flicto armada con nuestra patria.
Eel reconOcimiento de Huerta
al dar principle los d%isturbios-
dijo Mr.. Gillete-presentaba la
mejor oportunidad para acabar
con ellos.
"Cuando llegue Ia guerra, no
lie servira de excusa ell hecho de
que ell Secretario de Estado haya
pronunciado brillantes discursos
en- favor de Ia paz. Una emoclo-
mantle glorifcaci6n oratoria de la
paz, no es sufciente dlsculpa pa
ra una politica cuyo legftimo y
l6gico resultado es Ia guerra.
"Yo tengo para mi que, GUAM
do nuestro Secretario de Estado
acept6 tan elevado puesto, tenia-
mos derecho para esperar de el
que 10 atendiera con cello y ash
duidad. Sus antesalas deberian
haber estado lIenas de genie dis

Pc de protection, y no uno er
que eI deber requiere los mejOres

Deny Dimes Are Made With
Initials Ford.
MINT HEAD SHOWS NO ONE CAN GET
AUTO FOR COINS BEARING
THESE LETTERS.

Philadelphia, juno 81. - There
never have been in circulation
dimes bearing mint letters which
will spell IF RD."
A widespread belief that dimes
with those letters could bs obtain.
ed was dispslled yesterday by DR..
Albert A. Norris, acting superin-
tsndent Of the Philadelphia mint.
The ST Or D" moax originated
more than . month ago. There
wore rumors that the Ford Auto
mobile Company would give an
auto to any person who turned
over to tho company four dimes on
which the mint marks spelled
FORD" Thousands of persons
have been searching for the msgi:
dimes, and counties disputes have
arisen over the possibility of find
ing them.
The mint mark is q small initial
placed beneath tho wreath on the
reverse side to indicate the mint
that produced the coin. IS" is
used to designate San Francisco,
20" for New Orleans and ID" for
Denver. Coins minted hero are
not marked.
Minting at New Orleans was dis
continued in 1911, but there are
still many dimes in circulation
bearing tho 60"
Since the hoax was started mint
officers aud the Ford agency here
have received many letters and
telephone calls asking for inform
alton about the dimes. DR.. Nor
lis yesterday displayed letter in
which tho writer placed an order
for four dimes, with the letters
"FORD" on the back. II will
give you $40 when l get them"
he wrote.
The hoax is one of many started
in the last few years. One had it
that tho government would give
$1,000 to anybody who would for
ward to Washington dimes bear
ing the letters IS OUTH." 10
another case, a reward of $1,000
was supposed to be offered for
dimes with tho mint letters spell.

Remedy For Boil Weevil.

A mixture of lubricating oil and
moth hollis is sure death to boil
weevils, according to G.. M. Man.
or, a planter who lives q few miles
south of Yazoo City, Miss. Mr..
Manor thinks be has discovered a
remedy for the pests that have
proved 80 destructive in Mississi-
ppi and other states where cotton
is raised.
1t is said Mr.. Manor made for.
ty-seven bales of cotton with four
families, while his neighbors made
something like a bale and a half
to the family, i'll Q section that was
badly infested with the wssvils.
The plan of Mr.. Manor to get
rid of the wsevils was unique and
simple. aud very effective, be
says. The plan simply was to at
tach to all plows, as soon as the
cotton was ready to work. q gunny
sack or heavy cloth saturated with
q mixture OF lubricating oil and
moth balls in the proportion of
one gallon of oil to one pound of
tho moth balls. The oil and moth
balls wore first bailed together,
when one pint of tar was added,
and into this mixture was poured
five gallons Of coal oil. After
thoroughly saturating tho sacks
with this mixture, Mr.. Manor at
tachsd them to tho single tree,
and as the blowing progressed the
sacks wore dragged over the cot
ton plants. The remedy is mex.
psnsive, and Mr.. Manor says il
will do the trick. - VicksburR

Lafourche Political Leaders Quit Dom
0Crat Party.
PROGRESSIVE PARTY LURES MANY
TO ITS CAMP SAYS JUDGE MARTIN.

PROGRESSIVE PARTY LURES MANY
TO ITS CAMP SAYS JUDGE MARTIN.
Houma Courier.
Quite q sensation Was created in
political circles in Houms last
Wednesday by the announcement
made by Judge Martin, who was
in Houma, that many OF the old
time democratic leaders of La
fourche Parish will no longer sup
port the National Democratic
Ticket, but will in tho future give
their support to tho young MILL.
tant Progressive Party.
They will not support tho Dem
ocratic nominee for Congress but
will got behind the candidacy of
some strong Progressive. Reason
for the change is not hard to find.
Tho treatment which the sugar
district received at the hands OF
the Democratic Party in Congress
which has practically annihilatsd
the sugar industry-the ono great
mainstay of this section rendered
penniless thousands Of people who
depended upon it for their daily
bread. besides creating industrial
stagnation in the towns and cities
of South Louisiana-has convin-
ced these leaders. together with
thousands of thoughtful people in
the sugar district, that this State
can no longer hope for any recog-
milton at the hands of the Demo-
cratic Party, and that if it lie to
call for anything in National poll
tics, it must send mon to Congress
who stand upon . platform consis-
tent with the needs OF this section
of the United States.
These are tho chief reasons which
the Lafourche leaders, who have
gone over to the Progressive Par.
ty, give for their determination to
no longer support the National
Democratic Party.
1t is said that some of the strong
est old-line Democratic leaders in
Assumption, st. Mary. and Now
Iberis. have joined hands with the
Lafourche leaders and will work
shoulder to shoulder in tho first
powerful movement to elect an
anti democratic congressman,
since tho Civil War.
