her 10-year-old son, John C. Cooks
ley, to 60 to the home Of her mother,
Mrs. Boudreaux. Samuel Streetman,

convene a mass meeting in order
that the situation could be put up
to the Progressives of the Parish and
their will ascertained as to the fu-
ture course Of the party in this Par
ish.
The meeting was called to order
by Mayor Lauve, Chairman, who re-
quested Hon. Wilson T. Peterman to
address the meeting and to preside,
which he did most ably. Addresses
were made by Messrs. Walter O'Neill
ond Percy Saint. A committee on
resolutions drawn up and presented
for adoption, resolutions conveying
the sense Of the Progressive meet
Ing
The unanimous adoption of the
resolutions marked the dissolution
of the Progressive party in the Par
ish of St. Mary. Some of the men,
bers present after the meeting ex-
pressed their intention Of registering
as Democrats and fighting within
the party for the maintenance Of
principles; others stated
that they would register as Demo-
Gratis letting the question Of future
alignments take care of itself. The
General sentiment was that the
meeting was not for the purpose of
starting any political campaign, but
for the purpore of honorably dissolv-
ng a party v''.;ch all present had rec
ognized p essential and necessary
under ess!ing conditions.
The G.-solution resolutions were as
follows:
We, citizens of the Parish of St.
Mary, Louisiana, of the Progressive
faith, from the different wards
thereof, in mass meeting assembled
pursuant to call, issued by Hon.
Charles Lauve, Parish Chairman, do
hereby RESOLVE:
% That we look back without re-
gret and with sincere pride to the
of the Progressive par
ty in this Parish in the fall Of 1914,
believing such action then necessary
as a result of National conditions,
vitally affecting the welfare Of the
Third Congressional District Of Lou
isiana, and with a similar feeling we
review the State and Congressional
Campaigns Of 1916, and take this
to express our loyalty to
and esteem for the men Of this State,
District and Parish, who took lead
ing part therein; and
(2). Be it further resolved that
we now realize that the organization
of the Progressive party in this
State and the subsequent campaigns
made by it, clean. and fair. without
asking favors and with strict adher-
ence to principles and continued ex-
istence in the Nation. State, District

Screw sores Its Own HoIe.

Evidently Charles ID. Woodward, OF
Providence, r. l.. has often had con
siderable trouble In driving the con-
ventional wood screw into hard wood,
for he has developed a screw which
bores its own hole as II proceeds. Ac-
cording to his patent claims. says the
Scientific American. he has devised a
countersinking gimlet-pointed screw
having at the root of its point a bulge
constituting the largest diameter Of
the shank, and having across Its
thread spiral groove, one end Of
which forms a cutter at the bulge.
The groove goes once around the
screw and terminates at the slant OF
the head and at the root Of the gimlet
point.
