The two missions of Bonfouca and
Lacombe are entrusted to the care ot
Rev. Francis Bafay, O. S. B. The
following is the interesting history
of the origin of these two missions:
In 1853 Nine Anatole Cousin, a
member of a distinguished French
family, had brick chapel erected in
Bonfouca for her relatives and
slaves. From time to time priest
from Vaudeville, Covington or New
Orleans would go to say Mass there.
After Nine. Cousins death the chap
Ell began to be neglected and was
soon in a tottering condition. The
little belfry had disappeared; the
bell. attached to the limb of live
oak, was but rarely heard to call
the faithful to Divine service; the
massive windows could not be open
ed without difficulty; the walls be-
gan to yield under the weight of the
roof, and the old door swung on
rusty hinges which had all but lost
their hold.
About fifty feet from the chapel
the pious lady had built pres
bytery, which in 1913 was in no
better condition than the chapel.
That year Rev. Francis Balay, o.
S. B., was put in charge of bon
fouca,
and was generously supported in his
difficult task by Mrs. Armand Cousin,
Mr.. and Mrs. ]. P. Pichon, and Mr..

and Mrs. Syb. Dubuisson. The new
pastor visited all the families OF his
scattered flock without distinction of
race or color. On Aug. 10 of the
time among them. At this Mass
all Catholics young and old, assist
ed; considerable number approach
ed the Sacrements, and the heart of
the good priest was moved to tears
by the angelic piety of the com
municants.
With all energy and zeal he de-
voted himself to instructing the
children. He introduced frequent
Holy Communion and said Mass
at the mission every other Sun
day. At the head of committee
he set about to repair the chapel
and the presbytery.
Fairs were held to which all families
contributed according to their means
and which have always proved a
great success. These good people
would gather under the spreading
oak tree called "oak of the bell'' and
chat and feast, while strangers found
it a delightful spot for their picnics.
In 1914 the chapel presented a
different aspect. A new belfry
had been erected, rearing to the
clouds its lofty spire, sllrmounted
by a golden cross
which sends its rays far and wide
like the cross of Constantine, and is

SPECTATORS TRY
To GRAB LIBERTY
BONDS AT BARGAIN
People Urged Not to Sell Government
Securities at Sacrifice or Exchange
Them For Questionable Paper.

Acknowledgements are reaching the
Federal Reserve Bank Of Atlanta that
many owners Of Liberty Bonds are
selling them at prices lower than
their market value.
Investigations show that shrewd
spectators are active In trying to
induce people to part with their Gov
eeament securities. Many of them
are offering to take Liberty Bonds in
exchange for some other so-called
security which promises a higher
rate Of interest than Liberty Bonds.
It is pointed out by Treasury Of
ficials that Liberty Bonds are worth
every dollar paid for them. One evil
dence of their value is the eagerness
Of the Spectator to get possession of
them. He knows what they are worth.
Their Liberty Bond owner does not
know the value of the stock OF
bond" he is offered In exchange for
his Government security.
Liberty Bonds have back Of them
the entire resources of the United
States which makes them worth their
face value. The person who exchang-
es them for some other kind of paper
risks losing the money invested In
his bond as well as the interest.
Other people are selling their bonds
because they feel that the wars
over and they are no longer oblig-
ated to hold them. Although fighting
has ceased the war will not be over
until the peace treaty is signed and
our soldiers are home A Liberty Bond
is a certificate of service and the per
son who sells them at a sacrifice Is
deserving the cause. He is rejecting
on his own Judgment and patriotism
and surrendering an investment that
never will fail to pay returns.
1t is recognized that there are times
when investors are compelled to seek
relief from financial distress. Often
their first impulse is to dispose of their
Liberty Bonds
In such cases the bank is the place
to go. Banks will lend money On Lib
erty Bonds. TIE borrower is helped

for all Catholics center of attrac-
tlon and guide to Heaven. The
modest bell resumed its place of hon.
or whence it's silvery voice invites all
who are of good will. The Gothic
windows are set with stained glass,
and the rays of the sun are reflected
in various mellow hues on the walls
and the new Way of the Cross. The
presbytery has also been improved
and repaired. The roof is covered
with tin, two rooms have been pro-
vided, and a gallery surrounds the
house ON three sides. An arte5ian
We'll, ESQ feet deep, is the favorite
place of excursionists, its limpid
water flowing down rill OF pebbles
and shells which break the monotony
by their babbling murmur. A basin
in the shape Of a Maltese cross, a
statue Of the Sacred Heart on
column at the bose of which squirt
the crystal waters complete the work
so we'll begun and 50 happily finished.
Bonfouca, a French colony,
loves, like the Breton, to dwell in
the shade OF its church. The err
rors of the age do not reach these
simple people, and good Catholic
traditions are handed down from
father to son.
The families live in comfort. The
best carpenters in Slide1l came from
Bonfouca. The Catholic religion is
in a fiourishing condition and is first
in rank. Every day the father or
mother teach the children their Cate
chism, in winter near the fireplace,
in summer in the open under shady
oak.
On Sunday, at the sound of the
bell, all repair to the chapel, the
father at the head of the family
or the oldest son plying the oars.
Majesticalfy the skiffs glide across
the bayou with the gentle breeze
from Lake Pontchartrain.
The people of Marseilles have a
proyerb which says, "If Paris had
a Cannebiere (the largest street in
France) it were little Marseilles";;
and we may well say, IL New Or
leans had the gentle breeze of Lake
Pontchartrain and the site Of Bon
fouca, 1t were little Bonfouca.
Bayou Lacombe, eight miles
southwest OF Bonfouca, was the
home of the Cousin family and also
an Indian camp. A bayou majes-
tically winds its course through
the vast forests and cypress
swamps and silently passes in
front of the church like the Care
i'm front of the Grotto of Lourdes.
Along its banks reign an eternal
spring. Thousands of flowers of the
most beautiful and variegated hues
are seen among the shrubbery in the
cypress swamps which protects the
tender plants against the fierce darts
of the sun The sailing vessels and
steamboats, tossed by he waves Of
Lake Pontchartr2n nd there shelter
and rest; the stiffness OF the night is
interrupted by the melodious voices
of the boatmen and the echo is lost
in the distance.

SERIOUS SITUATION
IN NORTH MEXICO
VILLA BANDITS AGAIN BECOME
A MENACE TO THE AMERICAN
AND FOREIGN RESIDENTS.
villa Makes Demand for Taxes Upon
Mine Owners and Lets II Be Known
That Destruction viii Follow
Refusal.

WashingtOn.-The situation in north
ern Mexico is again reflected as SER
ious, in advices received ON May .
from Mexico City and the border. The
state department has been advised
that 5000 employees of an American
mining company at Santa Eulalia haye
been removed to Chihuahua City be-
cause of threats by Villa.
In the capture of Parral the entire
Carranza garrison went over to the
Villa forces, which now threaten Chi
huahua City. Americans in the state
capital are reported to be endeayoring
to obtain passage to Ell Paso as they
fear the garrison may join the Vii
histas.
Torreon is said to be Villas next
objective. Reports from the border
say the Conchos bridge at Ortiz, south
of Chihuahua City, has been destroyed
by the rebels thus closing the road
for reinforcements moving north
ward.
Gen. Manuel NJ. Dieguez has been
ordered from the Tampico oil fields
with 1000 men to assist General Cas-
tro, who was reported as moving to-
ward chihuahua, constantly harassed
by Villistas. Dieguez's departure from
the oil fields of Tampico was said to
leave the situation there entirely at
the disposal of Pelaez, a rebel leader.
The capture of Parral put the vii
listas in an excellent strategical posi-
ton, as the town is on a branch line
from the main line south from Ell PasO
and is within striking distance of jim
inez.
Villa has demanded an indemnity
Of 100000 pesos from the Torreon
region industries. The superintendent
of the Santa Eulalia mines reported
that the bandit demanded faxes for
protection and had announced that he
would return in thirty days for the
money! To avoid paying the taxes"
the superintendent closed the mines,
taking everything that could be moved
and all the men to Chihuahua.
In his new movement to the south |
Villa has resumed terrorizing tao tics.

What Is the Cause Of

Backache is perhaps the most COM

from it. Sometimes the cause is OBJ.
scure, but DR.. Pierce, of Buffalo, n. Y,
a high medical authority, says the
cause Is very often form Of catarrh
that settles in the delicate membranes
Of the feminine organs. When these
organs are inflamed, the first symp-
tom is backache, accompanied by bear
ing down sensations, weakness, I'M
healthy discharges, irregularity, pain.
full periods, irritation, headache and
a general rundown condition. Any
woman in this condition is to be pit
fed, but pity does not cure. The
trouble calls for DIR. plerce's Favorite
Prescription, which is separate and
distinct medicine for women.
1t is made of roots and herbs put up
without alcohol Oh opiate of any kind, for
DR.. Pierce uses nothing else in his pre-
scription. Favorite Prescription is nat
ural remedy for women, for the vegetable
growths of which it is made seem to have
been intended by Nature for that very
purpose. Thousands of girls and women,
young and old, have taken it, and thousands
have written grateful letters to DIR. Pierce
saying it made them well. In taking
Favorite Prescription, it is reassuring to
know that it goes straight to the cause Of
the trouble. There is but one way to
overcome sickness, and that is to overcome
the cause. That is precisely what Favor.
