From more than one German
source the news has come out that

known that Mrs. Pierce was de-
manding $1,000, and the reviewers
were directed TO make a new re-
view. At this time they raised Mrs.
Pierce's property TO $500 and tenn
pOrarily put PrOudht's at $1,000.
PrOudht explained that $1,000 was
all that he asked, and that when
he made the affidavit oct. 9Th, as
filed by Graham, the understanding
was that il was to be for $1,000 in
stead of $1.500. Graham, however.
prevailed upon the reviewers to
change their report, and direct pay

something about that $1,4S5 that
looks chrcnic,-which the reviewers
did by intcrlineation.

Graham had already been paid

Jdd Counterteits of Nature
Found in Snap Dragon Pods,
Squash Seed, Rabbits Skull

The seed pods Of the common snap
dragon, 'cording to DIR. Bashford
Dean, beal a most curious resemblance
TO mummied human heads in minin-
ture. AS they arrange themselves on
the stalks of the plant they look like
the "poles of skulls" which in coun-
tries where head-hunting is popular
field sport are set up in front OF houses
as trophy memorials.
Not only Is the color Of the seed
pods like that of mummied heads, but
the faces are initiated, even Ito the
imaginative eye) including such details
rs dried portions Of the scalp. eyelids
and lips.
Another odd imitation in nature Is
exhibited by the sphenoid bone at the
base Of a rabbits skull. 1t is shaped
exactly like the head Of q fox-the
rabbits own arch enemy. Fox hunt
ers in England commonly have this
little bone mounted on a scarfpin as
an emblem of their favOrite sport.
Squash seeds, when dried, says Doc
tor Dean, contract in such way as
to present odd-looking surface mark
Ings that resemble Oriental characters.
Absurd though 1t may seem, many
learned Orientalists have made earnest
endeavors to read them In the hope
that they might reveal some hidden
secret Of nature.

AMERICAN RED CROSS
GULF DIVISION

New Orleans, La, Jan. Ia, 1913.
TO THE PRESS:
We would appreciate the publicity
of the following, which was recently
received at Washington:
"The Red Cross War Council has
appropriated s4,771,oso.oo for &C.
tivities Of the American Red Cross
in. Italy from November first, Nine
teen Seventeen, to May first, Nine
teen Eighteen. These appropria-
tons are based upon cabled recon-
embodying results of
observation and inquiry by Major
Grayson M. P. Murphy, Red Cross
C Commissioner to Europe, and also
by permanent operating commission
which has arrived in Italy headed by
Robert P. Perkins Of New York. Red
Cross activities in Italy were un-
known upon large scale after re-
ceipt November second of cablegram
from Ambassador Page to the effect
that help was needed instantly,
Major Murphy was asked to go to
Italy. He reports by cable: when
he reached Italy refugees in pitiful
condition were streaming down from
the North. Indiscribably pathetic
conditions existed involving the sep
aration of mothers and children and
cold hunger disease and death. The
unexpected Of friendship and conf
dence were welcome to a country it
was in those days before the piave
line was established Fortunately the
Red Cross was in a position not only
to respond Immediately to the call Of
the suffering but also to carry the
message of the American people to
Italy in the hour of her distress.
Working in conjunction with our own
State Department and the Italian
Government, which received us most
eagerly in the spirit In which we came
we used every available means of
supply and distribution to assist the
Ally of our country" In November
and December American Red Cross
put at disposal Of it's temporary COM
mission for work in Italy 50, 980,464
This amount was used mostly for
emergency Military and Civilian re-
lief and for formation of contingent
relief fund. Foregoing includes ST.
O8S,856.OO for purchase in this
country of food-stuff, Medical sup
plies and blankets, and $407, SO8.00
for surgical dressings, which are
being forwarded with all possible
speed from United States to Italy. II

Chamber Of Commerce Continues
Efforts To Secure Ford Ship

Aid Of influential Men In Many Cities Being En-
listed To Secure Visit From Detroit Manu-
faCtmer

versary today. He has gone to the
Crescent City to bespeak their sup
port for the Ford Shipyard at Ber-
wick-after Mr.. Ford has decided
that he can not use the offerings of
that city. Right here, it might be
suggested that the banks of st.
Mary Parish could help wonderfully
by writing their New Orleans cor
respondents to make Berwick second
choice in the matter. Such letter
from the banks of the Parish would
reach many Of the men higher-up in
business and commercial circles of
New Orleans and would undoubted-
ly go long ways toward gaining
their support. Mr.. Palmer is calling
on the Chamber of Commerce there
today and on a number of people
and organizations who are particu-
larly interested in the development
Of this section of the State.
Every business man in every town
in St. Mary Parish wants the Ford
Shipyard in this parish. AS a bus
mess acquisition it is the greatest
thing that has been held out to this
part of Louisiana. Its final loca-
ton in this or some other parish will
be a wonderful thing for every citi-
zen who has interests within fifty
miles Of the plant. It will not on
ly be an enormous economic factor
in any parish within itself, but it
will increase demands for every 9TH
er thing produced or sold in the
parish.
From a patriotic standpoint, ev-
cry St. Mary citizen ought to boost
for the Ford shipyard.
Fran a standpoint of regard for
the fortunes of their home parish
every citizen ought to boost.
Because of the natural ambition
to better ones position financially
and to surround ones self and fam
lily with every civic advantage which
Capitalization Of people and wealth
afford, st. Mary citizens are going
after the big proposed industry in g
united and vigorous manner.
Keep working.

Perseverance, Thou art jewell
is the motto of the Morgan City and
Berwick Chamber Of Commerce.
There is no let-up in the big noise
being made in the endeavor to
reach the ear of Mr.. Henry Ford,
the gentleman from Detroit who has
disturbed the slumbers of the South
by announcing that he purposes to
select a site somewhere" on the
South Atlantic or Gulf Coast for the
purpose of building steel and wood
en- ships" Like announcement from
several sources previously has short
ened the yawns of the Gulf Coast
country but when it is supplemented
by statement to the effect that a
builder is now appearing on the
northern horizon who proposes "af-
ter the first six months to complete
shin day." no wonder folks are
taking notice.
"A ship day" plant mean city
of 10000 people consisting of en-
ployees and their families, alone. st.
Mary Parish believes that she can
use to good advantage such an in
dustry and her loyal citizens have
pooled their efforts to secure it..
From Amelia to Clarendon, mes
sages have been sent to Mr.. Ford,
to national representatives and to
other men high in the business and
political world asking them to lend
their influence to assure a visit from
Mr.. Ford when he comes South
to look for shipyard sites. No other
parish in the South can offer such a
site as the sites available at Berwick
and St. Mary folks are Justly proud
of what they have to show. Espe-
cially are they glad that there is an
opportunity now for the United
States Government to be benefited
by an intense use of local resources
for shipbuilding. For MIR. Ford's
idea Of shipbuilding has developed
from the pressing need Of the nation
for bottoms to carry war supplies to
the United Allies in Europe.
Mr.. M. P. Palmer, Secretary OF
the Chamber Of Commerce is invad-
ing the stronghold of Berwick's ad-

You might DO surprised to know that
the beet thing you can use for a severe
cough, is a remedy which is easily pre-
pared at home in Just few moments.
It's cheap, but for prompt results II beats
anything else you ever tried. Usually
stops the ordinary cough or chest cold in
~ hours. Tastes pleasant, too-children
like it-and Il Is pure and good.
Pour 2i1 ounces OF Pinex in a pint
bottle; then all IL up with plain
gronulated sugar syrup. Or use clari-
lied molasscs, honey, or corn syrup,
instead of sugar syrup, IL desired.
Thus you make a full piut-a family
supply-but costing no more than
small bottle of rcady-made cough syrup.
And as cough medicine, there is
really nothing better to be ha1 at any
price. 10 goes right 20 the spot and
gives quick, lasting relief. Ii promptly
heals the infamed membranes that limo
the throat and air passages, stops the
annoying throat tickle, loosens the
phlegm, and soon your cough stops en-
tirely. Splendid for bronchitis, Group,
Whooping cough and bronchial asthma.
Pinex is a highly concentrated COM
pound OF Norway pine extract, famous
for its healing effect on the membranes.
To avoid disappointment ask your
druggist for "2ih ounces of Pinex' with
directions and don't accept anything
else. Guaranteed 10 give absolute salts
