Iron County Red Cross Chapter.

The local Chapter Of the Anne rican
Red Cross has been called npon TO
form a Home Service Committee
whose duties shall be to investigate
and report upon all claims for relief
made by or In behalf of dependent
families of soldiers in service, procure
employment for disabled men from
the battle fronts, etc. Due notice of
the appointment Of this committee
will be given as soon as acceptances
are received from those appointed.
A further activity OF the Red Cross
organization which will be undertake
ell next week is the placing of HUI
mainly Bonds in every household in
the county. This is a very laudable
plan and gives every one an opportu-
nifty to give something to help in the
great work Of relief being done by the
Red Cross. The HUI mainly Bond is
not sold, but is placed with every one
who will accept it. There are twelve
coupons attached, one being payable
in each month, and it is planned to
have the bonds placed SO that the De-
cember coupons will. be the first paid.
The owner of the bond takes or sends
his coupon to n of the banks of the
county with the proper amount, when
due. The bank stamps the coupon,
returns 1t to the owner, and RENTS
the amount to the A.. II. G. When ali
the coupons are paid the bond is coun-
tersigned by the bank and may then
be framed by the owner as evidence
that he has done his duty. All the
coupons may be paid at one time il
desired, but the bond was designed to
enable one to pay in monthly install
ments what he might not be able to
pay at one time. We all know people
who would be glad to give something
to help our wounded and sick, bu,
feel unable to give q large amount,
The Humanity Bond will provide the
way to meet this condition.
Ownership OF the Humanity Bone
does net carry membership in the Rec
Cross, nor need one be a member t.
obtain one. 1t is hoped that a larg.
number of members will be obtained
though-the cost is only one dollal
per year, and for an additional dolla,
the Red Cooss Magazine will be sen
for n year. The Magazine will be
welcome addition to every table, TO
1t contains pictures and articles show
ing In detail just what is being done
how 1t IL done, and the necessity fol-
doing 1t.
Every canvasser who offers a Hu,
, mainly Bond will be provided will
, evidence Of his authority. No pay
ments should be made to the canvas
, ser, but to the bank Of your choice
, Payments to cover membership ma,
be made, however, and the canvasse,
. Will give proper receipts therefor.
!, Let each and every one take a
,, large 4 bond - possible.

MEXICO TO-MONTREAL ROAD GERMAN PLAN
SEEN IN PLOT
BY ]. r. DUCKWORTH

New York, March 5.-A Mexico
City-tO-MOntreal empire and railroad
owned by Germany, an American
counterpart of the archaeological
dream of the TeutOns-that was the
inner meaning of the Prussian plot
to get Mexico and Japan to join Ger
many in a war against the United
States, as it is seen here today by
men who have made a close study
Of Germany and the world war.
1t has been figured by military men
that part of the idea was for an in
vasiOn, starting in Mexico, up the
Mississippi valley. to cut the United
States in two parts. A part of this
plan was to provide the territory for
the Mexico City to Montreal route, as
it is now viewed, and was a part of
the Iong-professed contention that
the kaiser has a vast scheme to con-
quer the world.
THE eyes Of American have now
been opened. So-called British pro-
paganda, described by Germany as a
campaign of lies, will surely be now
more readily accepted as containing
truth"
This is how a representative of one
of the allied governments in the U. S.
summed up the news of the amaz-
ing attempt of Germany to seek an
alliance with Mexico and Japan.
"At the moment the story of the
German plot against this country
was being given out at Washington,

THIS MANS "INSIDES"
WERE "LEFT-HANDED"
Surgeons Find One of Most Abnor-
NAL Humans Ever Known.

ST. LOUIS.-The body of William
King, which has been preserved for
twenty months, is described by an
anatomist as cleft handed both inside
and outside" according to state
ment made public today at the city
hospital. On May 8, 1915, King who
was 35 years old, applied at the hos
pital for treatment. He said he was
a laborer and had lived most of his
life in Wisconsin. He was suffering
from typhoid fever
When asked who should be notified
in case of his death King said:
Don't worry about that. Just cut
me up and examine my body; there's
something wrong with me besides the
fever" He died few days later.
When surgeons made an examina-
ton of the body they found one of
the most abnormal cases in the histo-
ry of surgery. The heart was on the
right side, the liver on the left; the
appendix was on the left side, and the
spleen on the right. The stomach
was turned around completely. On
the left lung was three lobes; the
right lung had but two. The left
kidney was larger and lower than the
right one.

GEORGIA FOLKS ARE
NOT LIVING AT HOME
Other States Are Reaping a Rich
Harvest Off the People Here.


Harvest OFF the People Here.
The people of Georgia are not liv-
ing at home. Packing houses, manu-
featuring and milling enterprises and
supply houses of other states are
reaping a far richer harvest off the
people of Georgia than they are
bringing to themselves.
Despite the fact that more effort
has been made in the past year, and
with far greater results it is said,
to induce Georgians to grow food
crops and raise hogs and beef cattle
in Georgia for home consumption
more than 100000 dressed beef cat
tie were imported into and distribut-
ed in Georgia last year by foreign
packing houses and supply people.
While the hog crop of the state was
worth somewhere in the neighbor-
hood of six and half millions of dol
lars, the people of Georgia sent out
of the state, through foreign houses,
more than eleven and half millions
for imported hog meat. The greater
part of this was, of course, for salt
meats and hams, but a startling
amount of it was for pork. These
figures do not take into consideration
the mutton and other packing house
products imported into Georgia.

VILLA IS GETTING
ON TOP IN MEXICO
REBEL WITH ARMY OF 10000
MEN MAY GUST CARRANZA.
CONFERENCE CLOSES.

Pancho Villa, bandit leader OF
Mexico, with the assistance of con
federates in western, eastern anC
southern states of Mexico, soon may
be strong enough to GUST Gen. Car.
rama, first chief of the Constitution
alists, and re-establish himself as die
tator of Mexico, according to first
hand reports obtained by the state
department. The prospect is most
disquieting and indicates that such
an unexpected development may
cause an entire change in the policy
of the administration.
The conference between American
and Mexican representatives regard
ing an arrangement for permanent
peace with Mexico appears to have
failed because Carranza will not sign
the protocol He insists that Amer
lean troops must be withdrawn from
Mexican soil. However, Washington
officials fear that even should Car
rama sign he will be speaking only
for himself and few grating gen
erals and that his signature would
be little more than worthless.
Villa Heading Strong Force.
From a ragged and poorly fed or
ganization, Villa is understood to
have raised an army of 10000 men
in Northern Mexico. Most of these
men have been drawn from the Car
rama ranks. Carranza's generals
have looted the country and shipped
their spoils into Texas for high
prices. The result is that the garri-
sons are gone and that Villa would
be free to move in any direction
were it not for the presence of Gen.
Pershing and his men on Mexican
soil.

put to cotton. He furnished the seed
with the understanding that they
should plant the crop. tend II and do
all of the work pertaining thereto. In
return they were to reap the reward II
there should be any. The father him
self did not know much about cotton
raising, so he watched his sons labors
with keen interest.
The two small lads worked hard.
early and late The crop was sown,
tended and then the goal doomed In
view. 1t was picking time-the time
had arrived to reap the reward OF
their labOrs. The boys began picking
their crop.
At present the lads have picked

rows. Already they have sold $25S.50
worth of cotton and are still picking.
Some time ago each lad bought $40

the money for the heifers over with
their own hands This their father
will permit them to do. And next
