quoted. Ground cherries are high
at four pounds for a dollar, but
have a prospect of lowering.
No grape fruit has been ON the
market for some time, the season
having closed in California areas.
There ought to be reduction in
the price of grapes soon. The re-
tail price of 20 cents a pound is

cred.

Rome, Sept. 8.-What enthusi-
astic archeologists describe as the
most perfect Venus hitherto come
to light has just been discovered
in the Thermal or Baths of Cyrene,
where extensive excavations are
being carried on under the dlrec-
tion Of Professor Ghislauzoni.
The statue, somewhat larger
than life-size, is in a perfect state
of preservation, the lovely head
and arms untouched by time, and
belongs to the Greco-Roman peri
cd, bearing a strong resemblance
to the Venus of the capitol. 1t
will be remembered that another
magnificent status of Venus, un-
fortunately headless, was discov-
cred a few years ago at Cyrene and
is now one of the greatest treas
ures of the Museo dele Terme, in
Rome.

Most Perfect Venus
Is Dug Up In Cyrene

When Professor Ghislauzoni saw
the beautiful work of art emerg-
ing from the soil like Venus from
the waves he became SO excitel
that he shouted to the Arab work
men to put up their spades. lest
they might injure the statue ia the
slightest detail, and with eager
hands proceeded to remove the
millenial earth reverently, as II
unveiling a goddess. Unfortunate
ly he sustained some abrastons Of
the skin of the hands, which be-
came infected, and for some time
it was feared that he would sue
cumb to blood-poisoning.
Latest advices from Bengasil
however, announce that the pro-
fessor is out of danger and will
shortly have the satisfaction Of
personally escorting the most
beautiful Venus in the world t6

Oil Gushers
In Tarnpico Flow
10000 Barrels

Mexico City, Sept. S.--If all re-
ports coming here from Tampica
are true, great numbers of impor-
tant new oil wells are being
brought in at Amatlan and else
where in the oil district. Some
of the gushers are reported to be
producing 10000 barrels of oil
day. 1t is nothing to hear OF
new wells yielding 10000 barrels
a day.
Practically all of tn new wells
are on properties belonging to
the great producing companies. 1t
is known that these companies
have been doing much drilling,
and oil men here believe that the
reports concerning new wells are
substantially true, with the pos
sibility of some exaggeration as to
the amount of the daily produc-
tion.
One OF the companies which is
reported to have brought in a
spectacular gusher is the Tide
mex, and this was particularly in
teresting news to oil men because
of the rather unlucky history OF
this company in Mexico. 1t is al
lied in a way with the Tidewater
Oil Company and entered the Tam
pico region with almost limitless
financial resources and with oil
experts of every description.
The company acquired extensive
and valuable property and out
lined an ambitious programme,
which included the building of a
railroad, pipe lines, an extensive
terminal, tank farms and refinery.

This Year
In Marion

The number Of divorce cases
tried in Marion county courts is
ON the decrease, according to tig-
ures compiled by the office OF the
county clerk and ranging over the
period from 1915 and 1921.
With a little over eight months
of 1921 there has only been 81
divorce cases filed in the circuit
court of the county, with 10
granted DEGREES, four dismissed
and fifteen pending. The average
number Of cases dismissed Is
growing smaller than that OF the
five previous years.
In 1915, the biggest year in the
divorce court of this county there
ware % cases filed of which 81
were granted and 1S were ais-
missed. .o
THE wear of 1916 was only two
short of 1915, ninety seven cases
being filed in that year OF wnlch
% were granted and Is dismiss
ed. The following year in 1916
shows a marked decrease, 40 cas-
as filed. 5s granted and ls as
missed In 1918 the number as
missed was greater than in any
nrevious year, for out of 7s cases
filed there were only "a granted, oan
The years of 1919 and lsZv !,

JUST FOR SENTIMENTS SAKE

The constitutional convention has
rejected the resolution proposing tho
discarding of the word parish" and
the substitution therefor of the word
county" as the distinguishing name
for Louisiana's political subdivisions.
Only sentiment swayed the convention
in clinging to the ancient name ard
no sound reason why the appelation
should be retained was given out. The
action of the convention is deplored
by those who desired that the conven-
ton adopt the name county" in or
der to have this state uniform with
every one of the forty-seven other
commonwealth.
However. the convention in it's Wis
dom, saw fit to cling to the old sys-
tenn and the people will perforce have
10 abide by the decision. No change
can be effected until the assembling
OF another convention, and that may
be forty or fifty years hence unless
the constitution drafted by the present
convention proves a failure and there
should be an insistent demand for a
rewriting OF the organic law withia
the next few years, and that is eX-
eremely problematical, at best
