LOCAL RED CROSS
CHAPTER TO SUSPEND
LOCAL WORKROOMS SOON WILL
BE CLOSED
Letter from Headquarters Advises
that Few More Garments Will Be
Needed Before Fall, and that Work.
rooms Will Not Be Needed Again.

The following letter has been re-
ceived from B. L. Parkinson, asso-
ciate manager southern division
American Red Cross, and will be a
matter of concern to those who have
been engaged in this work both in
Covington and throughout the coun-
ty:
"Your chapter production may be
temporarily suspended when your
present production order is complet-
ed. If you have materials and work
room equipment that you do not need,
or for which you have no cheap and
suitable storage room, you may dis
pose of these.
IF there are in your community
women who desire to sew and knit
on refugee garments during their lei
sure time this summer, the southern
division will furnish materials from
which they may make these gar
ments.
"a personal representative of the
American Red Gross will go to Po-
land, Servia, Montenegro and the
Near East within the next few weeks
to investigate the clothing situation
in these countries If this represent
ative is convinced that these people
must have help and that the Amer
lean Red Cross is the only institu-
ton that can give the needed help,
statistics viii be used to decide
whether refugee garments can be
more quickly and cheaply produced
by volunteer chapter production or
by factory contracts. If the voiun-
teer chapter production is proven to
be the quicker and cheaper method,
your chapter will be given a small
production order next fall. 1t is be-
lieved that such an order as may be
assigned to your chapter can be pro-
duced outside of the workrooms, and
that your chapter would not be justi-
fled in paying rent for worlrooms
this summer in anticipation of the
fall order.
"You are urged to keep intact the
of your department of
chapter production.
The letter was written by recon-
Of Mrs. John ". Grant,
director of woman's work.
In compliance with the above let
ter, the Covington chapter work

CITY WATER PROVES
PURE UNDER TEST

Several days ago three cases of
typhoid fever were reported in Gov
ington. The city officials had sam
pies of the city water sent to chem
lists in Memphis for analyzation.
Samples were taken from the.reser-
voir and the steel tank through
which all Of the water from the city
waterworks must come. The sam
pies were taken last Wednesday, and
the report was made Friday to City
Recorder I. L. Bringle.
The report reads: "Forty-eight
hours growth on nutrient Agar in
dicates only six bacteria per cubic
centimeter. B. Coli (typhiod germ
absent. We cosider this water abso-
ntely pure and safe for all domes-

While the test which was made
last August showed the water pure,
the test this year shows the water
to be much purer. The fact that
there were only six bacteria per GU
bic eentimeter shows that the water

MEXICO PROTESTS INVASION

Ell Paso, Texas, June 17.-Every
border city, town and hamlet along
the Rio Grande in this district is be-
ing garrisoned by attachments Of
American troops by Gen. Erwin to
prevent the possibility of Villa raid
across the border in retaliation for
the expedition against Villas forces
in Mexico.
Company G, 10Th Infantry, was or
dered to Ysleta, Texas, today. Com
pany H of the same command, to
Fabens, opposite Guadalupe, Chihua-
hua, and Company II to Fort Han
cock, Texas. In addition, machine
gun platoon was ordered to Fabens.
Small patrols Of troops will garri-
son the border towns and the border
west of El Paso has also been rein
forced, until the entire border front
is under military guard.
Washington, June IT, Running
true to form, the Carranza govern
ment has solemnly protested against
the action of American troops in en-
tering Juarez to dispense Villista reb-
els and protect Ell Paso from the
harm of their fire,
Acting presumably on advices from
Mexico City, Gen. Candida Aguilar,
whose title is confidential ambassa-
dor to the United States" issued a
statement this afternoon, explaining
the position of the Carranza govern
ment. He says that the government
and people of Mexico consider as a
violation of Mexican sovereignty the
crossing Of United States soldiers
into Mexican territory"
While the Aguilar statement is
plain to the point of bluntness it is
not considered an official protest by
the state department. Acting Secre-
tary of State Phillips said he had re-
ceived a copy of it, and note from
Dr.. Juan B. Rejo, charge d'affaires
Of the Mexican embassy, explaining
that it had been given out to the
press.
Despite the stand taken by the
state department, the Aguilar state
ment creates another diplomatic Incl.
dent and gives rise to a situation
which viii have to be settled between
the two governments.

Nez-Perce Indians
Adopt Maj. Warwick
As Tribes Brother

A quarter of a century ago,
Marah Ellis Ryan, a woman of rare
literary gifts and an ardent lover of
nature, wrote a novel which she
called Told in the Hills" 1t car
ries picture OF the West compar-
able to those drawn in words by
Bret Harte. Mark Twain and others.
The book jumped into immediate
popularity.
When the Famous Players-Lasky
Corporation acquired the rights to
the story and determined upon film
ing it with Robert Warwick as the
star for Paramount-Artcraft the
problem of location was one that
caused considerable discussion. OBJ
viously, something like the actual
scene. laid in the Kootenai Noun
tains of Montana, would be re-
Quired. Finally it was determined
to SEEK an appropriate location in
Idaho. After some difficulty. a
rocky rift in the hills known as
Lawyers Canyon" not far from
Kamiah. Idaho. was decided upon
and thither Director Melford took
his company.
Next to be considered was the
matter of supplying the real Indian
atmosphere. An Indian agency some
sixty miles from Kamiah was
sought and there it was arranged to
have some $50 or more of the Veg
Perez tribe come to the scene for
the necessary work. 1t was no
great task to induce them to act and
to ride through the scenes with all
the majestic or dashing quality of
the olden days. With them came
medicine men. musicians and others
and war dances were staged, to-
gether with other ceremonies and
rites of the tribe.
One of the interesting facts in
connection with this experience was
that Mai. Warwick was actually
adopted by the tribe and is now a
white brother OF the Nez-Perce.
In the picture the Indians repre-
sent the Kootenais, while some of
them portray the roles of Blackfeet,
supposedly hereditary enemies OF
the first named. During the film
ing of the many exterior sceBs in
the mountains the company made
friends with redskins. rode with
them, ate at their camp and learned
bits of their strange tongue. Ann
Little in particular being a staunch
admirer of the copper-colored race,
made great friends with them, as
did Monte Blue, who played an In
dian role and could hardly be dis
tinguished from one of the actual
Nez-Perce Indians.
Thus Told in the Hills has been Civ
en- a production that entirely Justifies
its quality as a story and places no
strain upon the spectator because 1t is
as nearly genuine as can be.
