THE COMING ELECTION
The municipal election takes place
three weeks from next Tuesday, and
thus far there is not an announced
candidate in the field for any of the
local legislative honors. There is a
mayor to be elected aand the terms of
i
three of the present council expire,
and as one of the hold-over members
intends to resign, there will be four
vacancies in the councilmanic body.
Several very important public im
provements are at present finder con
sideration, and it is imperative that
the voters of Cordova seledt the best
available timber for the administra
tion of the city’s affairs during the
coming year. At best it is a thankless
job. hut one that has to be filled, and
those who have the interests of the
city at heart should be patriotic and
self-sacrificing enough to be willing
to serve their constituents.
The election of a mayor is also im
portant, as he is at the head of the
local government. In this connection
the Daily Times would suggest that
A. J. Adams, the incumbent, be pre
vailed upon to again allow" the use of
his name at the April election for the
mayoralty. He has proven himself a
most efficient executive, and should be
re-elected without opposition.
ECONOMY AND WARMTH
There’s a way out of the coal and
rent situation. Funny no one has pro
posed it until this minute. Don’t pay
double rent and don’t worry about
coal shortages. Just put on your over
coat and your suit case and get on
the train for Mexico. Go across the
border and into the first bandit camp
you find there and say, “I’m an Ameri
can who has come over to be held for
ransom.” It’s warm down in Mexico
and the bandits will have to keep you
well fed for fear of losing the ransom
if you die on their hands. You can
stall them along all winter and then
in the spring you can pay what they
ask and return home. You will have
avoided all the annoyance of the coal
situation and your bill for services in
kidnaping and ransoming will be less
than your landlord would have asked.
Special trains for the purpose, the
Kidnappee express, will be made up
if enough applicants apply.
THE EVER-USEFUL BANANA
Here’s hope. Some useful nut has
discovered that cloth can be made of
the fiber of banana plants. All you
hare to do, first, is to find your banana
plant. You select, if possible, one
that is only one year old. You chop
the plant down and unroll its many
layers, which are put on the same as
an onion’s overcoat. Then you steam
the layers over boiling water until they
are soft. Next you pull the pieces,
oBe by one, through an apparatus
which consists of two dull blades that
act as scrapers. These remove the
covering and leave the fiber. After
this you wrap up the fiber in cloth
and poujid it to remove the excess
moisture. Last the fiber is cleaned,
twisted into yarn aid woven into cloth.
The material is said to be very dur-,
able and of an attractive appearance.
CASHOFF ON COWSKYS
• '
There is some benefit in having a
greatly depreciated currency. Take a
peasant in sovietized Russia, The
peasant has a cow which he wants to
sell, or it may be a horse. He leads
the beast to market and what does he
get? In place of the handful of ko
pecks that would formerly have been
his reward, the purchaser drives up
to him with a wagon load of money.
Here, says the buyer, is $16,000 face
value, and my son is bringing the
other $8,000 in a push cart. This is
a fact.—no joke. A good cow or a
good horse does bring from $16,000 to
$24,000 in depreciated money. The
only trouble is that when the peasant
comes to spend his w^agonload of cash
he finds out that a pound of buttersky
takes a half bushel of greenbacks, and
so on down the market list.
STRONG AS AN OX
Atlas must have been a genuinely
strong man. No question about it.
He must have been so strong that all
other strong men, Samson and John
L. Sullivan and Sandow and Goliath,
were mere children. It is only re
cently that Atlas has really been ap
preciated at his worth. People recog
nized in a way that he must have been
quite a fellow to hold the earth on the
back of his neck. But it is only re
cently that anyone has taken time to
figure out just what the earth weighs.
It weighs, according to Professor Louis
E. Dorr of the Massachusetts Institute
of Technology, just 6,000,000,000,000,
000,000,000 pounds. Reader, you say
how much that is.

1
Admiration and Respect for Qualities of
the American Fighting Man.
By GEN. CURIERES DE CASTELNAU, French Army.
sf: * have no hesitancy in asserting that the military
J:- \ forces of the United States of America contributed very
largely by their splendid display of valiance, efficiently
directed, to the final supreme triumph of right and
liberty.
During the war I gained an intimate first-hand
knowledge of the American fighting man’s qualities.
My personal admiration for him is only equaled by my
, professional respect. I know him as only a command
ing general knows his men.
I'rom the moment the American soldier first met the enemy until the
very end, he displayed the most remarkable individual courage. His I
magnificent spirit in battle was invincible. Officers and enlisted men
rivaled each other in bravery, coolness, energy, tenacity and the spirit of
self-sacrifice.
After once seeing the American army in action, we were impressed
that, had our confidence in victory needed a stimulant, the presence of our
transatlantic comrades would have been sufficient to assure us of the in
evitable victory.
^ henever troops show such splendid soldierly qualities as displayed by
the Americans as individuals—and it is on the individual soldier that the
general, in the last analysis, counts for success—all hopes are justifiable,
all strategic and tactical plans are feasible and success is inevitable.
