Jackson Cash-Book: The sheriff
of Bollinger county and his deputy
were here last Saturday-lookingfor
one John Welker, a Korse-thief%ho
stole two horses. Welker~Was in
town that morning with one of the
horses, which he traded to Pape
Kinder. When the sheriff reached
Burfordville on his way here he
sent word by telephone inquiring
for WeIker, who heard about itand
lost no time in getting out OF town.
When the sheriff got here he found
the horse in possession of Mr..
Kinder, but his man was gone.
Walker stole the horses from Geo.
Mathis and Thomas Knuckles OF
Bollinger county. Mr.. Kinder is
the man who suffers most in the
case, as he had to turn over the
horse he got from Welker to the
sheriff. The other horse was also
recovered, as Welker had left it
with a party somewhere west Of
here, saying he would return for IT,

To Fortify Against Floods.

Senator Vests resolution calling
for u full investigation and exami-
nation of the causes of the disas-
trous floods in the Mississippi and
its tributaries and for the determi-
nation Of the best means of prevent
ing recurrence of the enormous
destruction of property and life, is
a measure the timeliness and i'm
portance of which have been all too
vividly demonstrated by recent dis
tressing experiences in the south,
saysa an exchange. The whole mat
ter should have such prompt at
tention as the exigencies of the sit
uation suggest, and such a thorough
inquiry and study as the most ex,
pert and trustworthy talent can
secure.
The most current theory is that
these fearful inundations are trace.
able to the sudden precipitation Of
rain and snow water at the head
waters of the main stream and its
tributaries by reason of the destruc'
tion of timber and consequent rapid
melting of snow. The resolution
calls for an official inquiry into this
matter, and for the recommends.
tion of such measures as shall be
necessary to stop the destruction il
the foregoing theory of the origin
of the foods is correct. The com
mittee on commerce is also author
lied by the resolution to determ
inc if the excess of water can be
employed to improve arid lands by
the construction ofreservoirs, which
could catch the increased flow from
the headwaters, and distribute il
over neighboring lands requiring
irrigation to become productive.
One thing that seems to have
been conclusively established BY
the recent prolonged overflow
along the Mississippi is tho made
quacy of the levee system for pre-
vomiting the encroachment of the
waters upon the banks. So high
and resistless have been the floods
that the levees have proved u dis
appointing reliance in many cases
and in others they have remained
intact only through the most dos
perate and heroic assistance Of the
inhabitants. II is question fol

Farmers Clubs.

At the last monthly meeting of
the Oxford, Ohio, clubs as report
ed in Farm News, a discussion of
the topic "Farm Clubs" brought
out the general benefits derived
from such organizations as follows:
l. What are the practical bene-
fits?
(D Better farming; as q conse-
quence better farms. Pridei in ones
home and surroundings is nurtur-
ed, and the annual club day must
not find these unkept and neglect
ed. The farmer is taught the great
value of neatness, and enjoys the
satisfaction Of thus doing,
2. Recreation. Club day is a
break in the work and worry and
monotony. 1t means a picnic once
a month, be it midsummer or mid
winter, spring or fall.
3. 1t teaches us that it pays to
make some effort, to go to some
trouble in order to have o good
time.
4. 1t pays in the better ordering
of the home; and,
5. In the intellectual improve
ment gained.
6. The financial benefit is incalcu-
liable. There are dollars in the
combined wisdom of q dozen men
or women.
7. 1t adds dignity to our calling.
Said one: "The Oxford Farmers
club has made me hold up my head
because I am q farmer"
III. What are the social advan-
tages?
l. 1t delivers us from isolation,
the bane of the farmers life. We
stand no more alone.
2. We find ourselves in society
that is always ready to recognize
meritand give credit for all that
we are worth. In the club wo meet
as peers, on one social plane.
3. Then thereis the joy Of ffriend,
an ever widening and never ceSsing
Joy.
4. The good that comes from be-
ing the guest in o home Of refno,
ment, the learning OF other and bet
ter social ways, the culture that
comes from contact, the polish that
Is tho result Of friction.
8. intellectual QuiclEening, espo

whenever there was evidence Of
military activity III any part Of the
empire the sultan was called to ac-
count by the nations who held his
purscstrings. In this way the pow
ers had kept down the Turkish
army and contributed not little to
its ineficiency. Now the sultan
has made the war with Greece not
only an excuse for putting his army
on a war footing, but for an appeal
to Mohammedan military spirit.
The Turks so long rusting in camp
are now aAame with the old War
spirit--the spirit that made them
for time the masters of eastern
Europe, and the recent successes in
the field have stirred the blood of
the Mohammedan fighters every
where. Greece has been humiliated,
but Christian Europe has played
into the hands of its ancient enemy.
