Crops in Jackson county are again
beginning to suffer greatly for rain.
Hot winds of the past few days have
injured cotton, and fears are express

Rains are said to have fallen to ad

The annual protracted meeting is
'being held at the local Methodist
church. Rev. M. B. Umsted, the pas
tor, is being assisted by Revs. Snell
and Hook, pastors of the Newark and
West Batesville churches. Very good
congregations have been present at
every service and some interest is
being manifested. The extreme hot
wather has caused the attendance to
be somewhat lighter than might
have been if weather were more fav
orable.
Contractor A. R. Anderson, who is
building concrete walks in town, has
completed the work of building sev
eral thousand feet of walks. He has
much more to build yet and has prob
ably completed about only half of
which he has contracted for.
The past week has been the hottest
of the year and also the hottest since
1914. The mercury registered 106
here last Sunday. The intense heat
has caused considerable damage to
growing crops. Corn, hay, and gar
dens have suffered most.' Should the
present conditions continue much
longer the cotton crop will be se
riously damaged in this section. In
asmuch as that crop has been gener
ally cultivated since the heavy rains
which feel sometime ago there is less
danger from damage than there
would have been had the soil not been
stirred. The present outlook is for
a large yield of cotton in this com
munity.

TELL OF ENEMY’S APPROACH
Certain Birds and Animals Make the
Best Kind of Sentinels That an
Army Can Employ.
A wounded soldier, asked what had
surprised him most in the battle zone,
told of finding a robin's nest in an
empty shell case.
A$ a rule birds are the finest sen
tinels in the animal kingdom. They
become aware of approaching aircraft
long before man hears anything. Early
in the war parrots were kept at the
Eiffel tower ns sentinels, but they
grew accustomed to the sound of en
emy planes and were no longer of use.
Pheasants always grow restless and
chatter noisily if Zeppelins are ap
proaching, even when they are far
away, so far that man can hear no
sound.
What is perhaps stranger is the fact
that such ordinary creatures as pigs
should sight a balloon when it is com
ing over. The “blister” makes no
sound, yet, should one appear against
the sky, miles from a farmyard, the
farmer will be made aware of the fact
by the curious antics of his pigs and
the clucking of his hens.
Toy dogs always are susceptible to
the presence of danger, and many a
pet shows uneasiness before a raid.
Cats, too, show fear of gunfire and
seem to know when danger threatens.
Dogs, birds and horses are very sen
sitive to sound. Watch the birds dur
ing a daylight raid, listen to the dogs,
and visit the stable where the horse
restively stamps up and down. P>ut
that all animals can accustom them
selves to sounds that cause fear is
proved by our cavalry horses, dogs
that accompany their masters into the
firing line, and the robin's nest in the
empty shell case.
VICTIM OF GERMAN “KULTUR”
Irvin S. Cobb Writes of Work of Beast
of Berlin, as He Saw it in
London Hospital.
In a London hospital I saw a little
girl who had been most terribly
maimed in an air raid. I am not going
4- /-» til A cto t A f
When I think of her I have not the
words to express the feelings that I
have. But one of her hands was gone
at the wrist and the other hand was
badly shattered; so she was just a
wan little brutally abbreviated frag
ment of humanity, a living fraction,
most grievously afflicted.
Her wounds had ceased to pain her,
the head nurse told me before we en
tered, and for the rest of the time she
was a good patient, one of the best in
The ward.
She was lying, when I saw her, with
her head propped upon a pillow that
was no whiter than her face was, and
there was a pitiful wraith of a smile
on her poor little pinched common
place face, and to her breast, with the
bandaged stump of one arm and with
her remaining hand that was swathed
in a clump of wrapping, she cuddled
up a painted china doll which some
body had brought to her, and she was
singing to it.
The sight. I take it, would have been
very gracious in the eyes of his impe
rial majesty of Prussia—except, of
course, that the little girl still lived;
that naturally would be a drawback to
his complete enjoyment of the spec
tacle.—Irvin S. Cobb in the Saturday
Evening Post'.
Move to Save Wild Turkeys.
The prisoners in the state peniten
tiary of Washington run, among other
things, a game bird farm. Until lately
they have raised wild turkeys for the
Thanksgiving dinner for the convicts.
The fact that wild turkeys have been
killed in such numbers in the forests of
the western part of the state that they
have almost disappeared has caused
the state game warden to decide to
take up the business of raising them
on a larger scale and flocks will here
after be liberated each summer to
populate the woods.
The wild turkeys are larger and
hardier than the domestic breeds, and
the warden, whose name is L. R. Dar
win, is experimenting with cross
breeds. He hopes to develop a bird
that will be useful to poultrymen and
yet be able to sustain itself in the
woods.
Tcmmy Sized It Up.
Tom’s kindergarten teacher took her
class to see the chickens in the school
yard. A homely brown hen was moth
ering a brood of fancy chickens
hatched in an incubator. The aristo
cratic chicks had tufts of feathers on
their heads. Tommy quickly noted the
difference between hen and chicks and
blurted out: “Pshaw, she can't be their
mother.” Then, after a moment’s con
sideration, he added with an air of con
viction: “Oh, I guess she’s only the
nursegirl.”
Chinese Admitted to Bar.
Chang Chung Wing, a native of
California, is an attorney at law, the
first Chinese-American to be admitted
to the bar in the state. He was given his
legal papers by the district court of
appeals, before wi.ieh he was exam
ined. having passed with a percentage
of 96 out of a possible 100. He was one
of the three highest men in the class of
86, of whom 49 passed the examina
tions.
Importance of Canned Tomatoes.
Canned tomatoes fill such an impor
tant place in feeding our army that
the government asks for an increase
of 50 per cent from toinato-canning
states. In addition to furnishing food
value for energy, the tomato quenches
the thirst of men and calls for less
water consumption in the camp or on
the march.—People’s Home Journal.

Swordfish and sharks make fishing and

The air is fanned by great flocks of
birds of the eastern tropics who might
easily claim ownership of the islands

enlarged the colony, for there are few

SEES LITTLE IN ALHAMBRA
Writer Says Famous Building Ex
presses Mere Beauty, Without Any
Sense of Power or Vigor.
The Alhambra is cn the shoulder of
a mountain. It overlooks the town,
P.art Kennedy writes in the Wide
I World. It was built by the Moors, and
I take it that it was built overioomng
the town for the usual reason. The
ruling Moors lived therein and they
wished to be in a position to give the
nonruling Moors “what for” when they
became too critical. There is a lot of
human nature in ruling people just as
there is in ruled people. A beautiful
place, this Alhambra. I>ut to me its
architecture expressed decadence and
weakness. There - as nothing strong
or massive about B. Whether a race
! expresses truly its character in archi
tecture or not is not for me to say. To
be able to give a reliable opinion as to
this would necessitate the living of a
life that lasted through a couple of
thousand years. But certainly the Al
hambra did not suggest power and
vigor. Beauty, yes, and also fancy,
but nothing more.
But on the Cuesta de los Muertos
(the hill of the dead), which was out
side the actual palace of the Alham
bra, were three massive squnre towers.
They expressed strength. In them had
lived—centuries before—the Moham
medan soldiers of the guard. These
towers impressed me and I often went
to see them in the moonlight, for then
there seemed to be in their strength
and power some weird effect.

Sappho.
Sappho’s fragments are redolent of
flowers; her woven verse, a “rich-red
ehlamys” in the sunshine, has a sliver
sheen in the moonlight. We hear the
full-throated song of the “herald of
the spring, the nightingale;” the breeze
moves the apple boughs, the wind
shakes the oak trees. Her allusions to
the “hyacinths, darkening the ground
when trampled under foot of shep
herds;” the “fine, s ift bloom of grass,
trodden by the tender feet of Cretan
women as they dance;” or the “golden
pulse growing on the shore”—all these
seern inevitable to one who has seen
the acres of bright flowers that carpet
the islands of the nearby littoral of the
Asian coast. ... in nor c.eswiuu

Matter of “Two Evils.”
A Londoner whose business is
coaching stage aspirants tells this
one:
“One day my work was interrupted
by a weak-featured but rather pretty
girl of about eighteen. She was taste
fully dressed, but had obviously been
crying. She said she was wishful to
adopt the profession of the stage. Had
she ever played in amateur produc
tions? No. Were her parents pre
pared to pay the fees? She had neither
father nor mother. “Well, what are
you?” he inquired. Then she sobbed.
She was a housemaid in the service of
a crochety old lady. When the pro
fessor advised her to return to her
mistress, she exclaimed: “I can’t bear
'er! I’d sooner go on the stage than
stand her any longer.” %

INSCRIPTION ON FISH’S TAIL

H ©ugh Scientists Say It Is Noth

A at range fl«h an* recently caught

That night 8.000 rupees was offered
for the fish and refused, and on the
following day 5.000 rupees was re

fish was 5 pice (about 8 cei.fs) and It
was eventually decided to have it pre

to the government laboratory, where It
was treated with formaline. It has
since been placed on public exhibition.
There are two distinct Inscription*

EXERCISE OF WILL NEEDED
No Reason Why Women Should Not
Obtain a Maximum of Physical
Strength and Power.
Women can obtain greater physical
strength and power so soon as they
utfieruiiiitr iu uw bu, turn *» Ul*
ferent mode of living. There is abso
lutely nothing In the woman’s organi
zation that forbids it, as we are finding
out more and more dally. Many young
women are too lazy to grow strong.
They cannot walk a dozen blocks, or
do anything that calls for the slight
est physical strength. Why? Because
there is any Inherent quality in the
woman’s body forbidding it? Not at
all. Because they never have done It.
There is no other reason on earth.
The women who are growing strong
er mentally and physically can smile
at the objectors who tell them they
cannot do this or that, and answer by
doing what they are accused of being
incapable of doing. But the more tim
id and younger ones, who yet hesitate
to venture into new fields of activity
in the face of opposition and ridicule,
need the assistance of professional
opinion and the encouragement of
those who have gone before.—Montreal
Herald.
Old City of Timgad.
Timgad is an ancient ltoman city,
forgotten and burled on the slopes of
the Aures mountains. The desert
winds heaped the market places and
ruined streets with shifting sand; the
jackals and birds of prey made the
stately forum, with its crumbling col
umns, their haunts and hunting
grounds. For centuries Timgad lay de
serted and forgotten, unvisited except
by occasional wandering caravans.
In recent years, however, the city
has been partially restored and exca
vated by French architects and arch;
eologlsts. The columns of the facade
of the capitol have been re-erected;
the sand cleared from the mosaic floors
of the ruined baths, whose colors are
as flesh and bright as in the old days
of Roman splendor. The arch of Tra
jan over one of the two main streets
stands as it did in the days of the
great emperor, the founder of the city.
The amphitheater, typically Roman,
held at least 4,000 spectators in the
days when gladiatorial combats were
considered respectable.
Her Golden Circlet.
There are several theories as to the
origin of the wedding ring. Here is
one of them: Before the time of mints
and coinage the gold money in Egypt
was made in the form ot a ring, usu
ally worn on the finger as a convenient
method of carrying and safe keeping.
The men and women, therefore, had all
their gold or wealth made Into rings,
and for the majority of people these
rings were no larger than tire plain
gold bands of today. Thus, when «he
groom placed the ring on- tin* bride’s
finger he meant exactly what the mod
ern service makes him say—he did ac
tually endow his bride with all his
worldly goods.
Feminine Diplomacy.
“Yes, I finally got rid of him,” she
said, “without having to tell him in so
many words that I never could learn
to love him. I didn’t v.ant to do that,
because he’s an awfully nice fellow,
and I should have been very sorry to
cuuge him pain.”
“How did you manage It?” her friend
asked.
“Why, you see, he’s subject to hay
fever, so I decorated the house with
golden rod whenever he sent word that
he was coming."—Brooklyn Citizen.
