Good Result In Irish Potato.

Brsaux Bridge, La, May 26, 1914
Mr.. F. o. Chavez, Supt.
st. Martinvills. La.
Dear Sir:
1 am pleased to report to you
result obtained, by tho Agricultu-
raj Boys and myself from tho first
crop raised on the School Farm.
Tho crop above mentioned consis-
ted of Triumph Irish Potatoes. We
planted on Jan. 28th, in rows rs
inches apart. We used complete
fertilizer, made by the Now Or.
leans Acid & Fertilizer Co., called
by them "Ths Texas Onion Fsrti-
zsr". It WAS supplied at tho rate
of 400 | lbs to the acre. The land
had been placed into . very fine
condition by deep blowing, disc
ing and narrowing. The potat oss
were narrowed just before they
came up. and afterwards frequent
cultivation with . Planet Jr, cul.
tivator was given them. On April
25th., early blight" was noted
and an immediate application Of
Bordsau Mixture proved worry suo
csssful. The Triumph potatoe'
occupied . plot It's feet by 12t
making an area of 2O79O squar'
feet. From this land We gathered
1886 bushels of potatoes. W.
sold SOL bushels to Jules Dryfua
of New Iberia for &c net hers
We kept bushsl for the Shrsvs
port Fair, gave away ono bushs
of bruised aud cut potatoes, sn'
tho balance were oulls. The pc
tatoss wore soaked in Tornado
hyde, and out of 81 pushed dig
ged the fret day "only 10 potstoe
we're soAbby". The others ba
even less. The gross amount Q
money realized per acre amount
to One Hundred and Forty 46.1O
Dollars.
The amount realized from a
tual shipment 10 1882. This o
J rather less than ono acre. w
understand that tho usual yield i
this Parish 10 between twenty I
twenty five bushels.
Yours truly,
F. T. GUILBEAU,

 The three ice boxes were provided by Mrs. A. B. Grace, Mrs Howell Westbrook and the Turner Bedding factory.
 The Associated. Charities officials are deeply gratfied at inc interest shown in the welfare of the babies as indicated by the prompt and generous contributions.
 Contributions of any amount will be welcome. Fifty cents will supply five babies each with 9 quart of pure. nonrishing, flesh-building milk. One dollar will give strength and weight to ten. The price of "round" of drinks may be the difference between life and daeth to some little bit of humanity whose babhling voice is to some one music sWeeter than the production of the greatest violinist who ever lived.

Attack San Luis POt0sj Next.

Washington, June 2G.-The consti- tutlonallsts of Mexico are determined to carry their milltarv campaign to a conclusion, regardless of participation III informal mediation conferences de- sired by the United States. Their plan was indicated here today upon the ar rival O. Alfredo Beceda. private secre- tary of General Carranza, first chief Of the constitutionalists who came to confer with Carranza's Washington agents.
 Confirmatory of the military plans ol the constltutionalists, it was learn ed that General Villa plans to take san Luis Potosi next week and ex- poets later to fight the federals in thelr last stand at Queretare.
 Soon after the arrival of MT. Bre- ceda, he received a telegram from General CarranZa announcing that the first chief has received assurances of cooperation and support from all the leading generals of the revolution. in cluding Villa, and he wished the Deo- pie of the United States to know that the cause of the revolutionary move ment was progressing without dissen 1 sion.
 AS to the prospect of participation | by the constitutionalists in the infor- maj conference over Mexico's internal ! affairs, MT. Breceda frankly stated that he had no definite knowledge. But he asserted that he had come to con fer with his chiefs representatives, and through them with the Washing ton administration to present General Carranza's ideas.

BABIES WILL NOT :D|E OF STARVATION Not Pine Bluff Babies, Any way-That Is, if Response Continues Generous and
 Prompt.

Pine Bluff babies, children of people in adverse circumstances for the mo- ment, will net be permitted to tie for lack of proper nourishment if the re- sponse to the appeal of the Associated Charities in behalf of the babies con- tinues to be as prompt and as gener- ous as it has been since The Graphic announced that the Charities had dis covered a number of little tots vast ing away because they were not re- ceiving sufficient nourishment.
 As was expected, the big-hearted people of the city acted immediately to alleviate the wants of the babies. Up to yesterday $22 had been contri- buted to the fund. This will supply the babies with good, pure milk for several days, but the summer is long and growing children must be fed oft en. More money is needed if the ba- bies are not to sicken and waste away.
 Ice Boxes for Three.
 Three ice boxes were donated to the Charities yesterday for use of the families without these conveniences, and where children have been given food made unwholesome and danger ous by reason of not being kept at proper temperature. More ice boxes are needed. They need not be fancy

They can obtain all the fresh air needed, but because of mis- fortune are sickening, weakening, wasting away for lack of nourish- ment; they are not receiving enough pure, e-giving, flesh-building milk It is in the names of these that the Associated Charities appeals to the public. Every dime will buy a quart of good milk; ten dimes may mean the difference between one baby health and one baby mourned.-Ed)

A Ne.u Face Without
Surgical Skin Peeling

The surgical operation Of face peel.
ing is too radical, too often danger.
GUS. There's a better way of remov.
ing offensive compilations and one
that is entirely safe and rational. Or.
binary mercolized wax causes the de.
vitalized scarf skin to come off, but
gradually and gently. Unlike the
surgical process, the skin is not
forcibly taken off in big pieces all at
once, but almost invisible flaky parti.
cles are absorbed by the wax and
about two weeks are required to COM
plete the Transformation. There's no
pain, no discomfort.
Nature renews compilations the
same way. shedding tiny cutaneous
scales day by day. But deficient cir
culation. or other abnormal condition,
may interfere with the shedding-a
bad complexion" results Then mer-
colized wax assists nature by hasten
ing the removal of the aged, faded or
discolored top skin. Thus only the
lively young, healthy-hued skin is in
evidence. as in robust girlhood. This
is why mercolized wax produces the
indescribable beauty of ever-renewing
youth. The wax is put on at night
like cold cream, and washed off in
the morning. You can procure it at
any druggists; an ounce is sufficient.

Justice Horace H. Lurton. Several
senators let it be known that they
would vigorously oppose McReynolds
Little trouble, however, was antici

That McReynolds was to be chosen
has been known for months. The
New Haven dissolution was the only

matter up before retiring from the
