 A revival began at the Baptist church yesterday and large crowds are in attendance at each service. The pastor, Rev. Holt, is delivering some interesting and forceful ser- mons, although he is badly handi- capped on account of severe cold. Everyone is cordially invited to each service.
 Ore of the oldest stunts in the picture "The Fall of Nation" was the rebuilding of Old Mulberry Bend, New York, as a temporary street in Los Angeles. For this special per mits were obtained, and New York builders and carpenters were brought on to ensure exactitude.

RED MEN CHIEFS CONFER.
Heads Of Louisiana Reservation Hold
Interesting Session Here.

A council of the great chiefs of the
Louisiana reservation, Improved Or
der of Red Men, was held here Sun
day forenoon in the wigwam of Mo
hawk Tribe No 33, with the follow
ing present: G. P. Reynolds, New
Orleans, great sachem; George A.
Treadwell, New Orleans, great chief
of records; Elrie Robinson, ST.
Francisville, great prophet; DR.. P. I.
Thibodaux, Donaldsonville, great ju-
nior sycamore; Paul J. Gisclard, Don
aldsonville, great keeper of wampum
Phil. Drais, Shreveport, great trustee.
There being vacancy in the office Of
great senior sycamore, the great
sachem appointed DR.. P T. Thibo-
daux, great junior sycamore, to serve
in that capacity for the remainder of
the term. Phil. Drais, great trustee,
was elevated to the post of great
junior sycamore to succeed DR.. Thib-
odaux, and F. NJ Stuntz of Uncas
Tribe No. 81, of Brusly Landing, was
designated by the great sachem to re-
place Mr.. Drais as great trustee.
A resolution was adopted leyying a
tax of IS cents per capita upon all
members Of the order in Louisiana, to
provide a special fund for the pay
ment of dues of those Red Men be-
longing to the various tribes in the
state who have joined the country s
fighting forces. Every member OF the
fraternity called to the front will be
maintained in good standing IN has
respective tribe at the expense OF the
organization as whole, throughout
the period of the war, and will be en-
titled to all benefits and privileges.
It was recommended that q per
Icapita assessment Of Is cents be levied
for the ambulance fund, the purpose
Of which is to purchase and EQUIP
STANDARD motor ambulances to be pre-
Esented to the American Red Cross as
a contribution from the Improved
Order of Red Men. A number OF
these vehicles have already been pro
Ivided by the reservations OF the lafg-
err northern and eastern states, and II
! is hoped to raise a sufficient amount
in Louisiana and Mississippi by means
of the proposed per capita tax to pur-
chase an ambulance for the service a.
the Joint gift of the two states. Inc
conveyances cost $1,000 each.
After completing the business be,
