VETERANS ENJOY
ANNUAL REUNION
Gathering at Cornelius, N. c.
Proved One of the Most Sue
cessful Ever Held-Handsome
Monument Has Been Erected.

One of the biggest and most successful
gatherings ever held by the Confederate
veterans occurred in Cornelius, n. c.,
Thursday, August 5, at the annual re-
union. The reunion this year was bis
success in every detail and was thorough
ly enjoyed by all who attended.
A handsome monument to the ConfedeI-
ate dead has been erected in Cornelius al
the cost of $780, 1t is a fitting tribute
to the Confederate dead and attracted
much attention during the visit OF the
many veterans. The new shaft is of the
be st marble and is one of the handsomest
monuments ever erected in memory of the
Confederate dead.
Delegates to the reunion at Cornelius
came from all over the south and were
royalty entertained during their brief stay
in the little North Carolina city. Many o.
the veterans brought their families.
Cornelius. n. c., is one of the cominG
cities of North Carolina and did herself
proud in entertaining the many veterans.
Interest seems to grow with each reunion
held by the Confederate veterans and the
meeting at Cornelius was probably the
most enthusiastic in years. Mayor Little,
of Cornelius, welcomed the visitors and
then turned the town over to them.

BOLIVIA MAY HAVE
INTERNAL STRIFE

WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.-Important de-
velopments may occur in the South Amer
lean imbroglio growing out of the strained
relations between. Bolivia and Argentina
in a few days. -
Bolivia is about to inaugurate new
president, DR.. Don Eliodoro Villaion, who
is known to be friendly to Argentina and
whose incumbency of the presidential Of
flee, 1t is expected, would have a good
effect on the pending critical situation.
The suggestion has been made, however,
though not officially that the. retiring
president. who is known to be unfriendly
to Argentina and whose observations re-
garding its decision in the arbitration
award provoked considerable Ill feeling
in Argentina, may object to Villaion's
inauguration and make an effort to keep
him out of the Office.
Should this happen, serious conse-
quenceS would follow and Bolivia might
become involved in internal strife. The

Commissions in Southern States

in New Orleans.

NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 1.-The commits
sions in the southern states for the con-
servation of natural resources held con-
vention in New Orleans Immediately fol-
lowing t1iat of the Lakes-to-the-Gulf
Deep Waterways association here in No
vember. Clifford Pinchot, chief of the
United States forestry bureau, and chair
man of the national conservation COM
mission, has written to the New Orleans
Progressive union. suggesting such a
meeting and Governor Sanders has been
asked to consider the matter of issuing
a call for it.
In his communication on the subject,
Mr.. Pinchot says:
In the Judgment of many the improve
ment of our inland waterways is one
Of the most vital problems relating TO the
conservation of our natural resources.
Indeed any comprehensive plan of water
way improvement, even though it may be
primarily for navigation purposes, must
also take into consideration the use Of
the waters for irrigation, water power
and domestic supply. Also, 1t is well
known that lasting waterway improve
ment depends largely uon the conserva-
ton of forests, to protect the headwaters
and TO prevent coil erosion.
why would it not, therefore, be good
plan to take advantage of the great gath

ing Immediately following the Lakes-to-
, the-Gulf convention, to which he invited
all the conservation commission of the

approval l can assure you of the hearty
cooperation of the joint committee In
every way In its power.

DOG DAYS OWE ORIGIN
TO FAITHFUL SIRIUS

Here at last Is an explanation OF that
mysterious season of the year. called dog
days. 1t comes from Col John w. West,
of College Park, who became so inter
ested in the cog day stories recently APP
pearing in This. Journal that he set out In
en- exhaustive research of the whole sub
ject, forging mis- way through stacks Of
ASTRONOMERS, encyclopedias, mythologies
and other big books He doesn't claim
that his explanation Will shut of further
discussion or is exclusively true.
Colonel West, in fact, is one of the few
persons who can talk about dog days
without growing dogmatic.
He has concluded, however, that the
reason dogs cut such queer capers at this
period of the calendar is because they are
for the time without the light of their
guardian star, Sirius. Sirius, you know,
is called the dog star. A, long time ago,
so long ago that nobody now has the
right to dispute the truth of the incl
dent, a young Greek hunter named Orion
was swimming across the Hellespont.
Orion and the goddess Diana it seems,
were daft upon each other and all Olym-
pus was gossiping about the case. An
other god, who was somewhat Jealous of
the hunter pointed to the foaming track
of water where he swan and said to
Diana "I bet you can't hit that bright
spot yonder with your bow and arrow.
She, poor soul, not knowing that the
bright spot was her lover, shot and
struck and killed him. Then, as the Gus
tom was in those days. Orion was trans
ported to the sky with his two dogs,
"Procyon" and Sirius" Sirius the
larger of the two straightway became the
patron of all CANNES.
Now" says Colonel West, Sirius.
the brightest of all stars, is obscured by
the sun for 40 days each year. This OBJ
security begins about July q and con-
tinues to September 6. During that time,
dogs can't see their favorite star and sc
they naturally become very much upset.

CHICAGO CAR MEN
TO SETTLE DEMANDS

CHICAGO, Aug. 1.-The impression was
strong today that peace would be main
tanned between the street car companies
and their employees. President Mitten, Of
the Chicago city railway; intimated that
he was willing to grant the required ad-
vance in wages provided the men would
sign a three-years' contract. President
Roach, of the north and west side lines.
stated that he would go as far as Mr..
Mitten in this direction.
Motormen and conductors interviewed
seemed jubilant over the prospects Of
peace. They had voted to ''stand by the
demands made upon the companies" but,
it is said, without any real idea that a
strike would become necessary.
Mr.. Mitten was at his office early to-
day prepared to meet committee repre-
senting the men of bis road and discuss
