Several years ago Sam Jones. the
Georgia evangelist. was at Emory
Grove camp and the newspaper re-
ports Of his sermons caused him to
complain. At the last service he looked
down at the reporters. who sat at a
table just in front Of the pulpit. and
said:
"And / want to tell you fellows that
/ like you a lot in spite Of your mani
fold faults. You boys don't treat me
right. though. You take my sermons
and pick out piece here and there
and piece somewhere else. Then you
string the pieces together, and natu-
rally they read funny.

MYSTERIOUS MEKRAN.
4 DesoIate Land, Desioeated by Nature

4 Desolate Land, Desioeated by Nature
and Stunned by Man.
"a mysterious veil has always hung
over the land Of Mekran." says the
London Times. 'Mekran is the name
given to the long coastal region
stretching almost from the Indus to
the entrance to the Persian gulf. Sail
ors have coasted along its white shores
from time immemorial, but few In
modern days have ever penetrated the
ranges of hills which lie beyond. The
greater part Of Meklan is desolate and
forsaken, land desiccated by nature
and Stunned by man. The few tribes
which linger there are the jetsam OF
history, stray wreckage which has
drifted into this obscure corner Of the
world in the backwash Of great events.
It is even believed that the Dravidians
passed through Mekran on their way
to southern India and left stragglers.
whose descendants have dwelt there
ever since. There are patches Of Mon
gols from the days of Jenghiz Khan;
colonies of half breed Arabs from the
time when an Arab dynasty held Sind;
unmistakable Rajputs, who were there
before Alexander; African negroes, the
Offshoots of medieval slavery. and
traces OF still older peoples whose
origins are lost in the mists of time.
'Yet Mekran cannot always have
been either so dry or so deserted.
Many of its hills are closely covered
with little stone houses, mostly square
at the base, narrowing upward like
truncated pyramids, and with dome
shaped interiors. They are tombs, and
among the rubbish found within them
are fragments of light green pottery
Of fine quality, which no one seems
able to identify. Then there are vast
masonry dams. obviously built to catch
the water In the hills, just as eDgi-
neers are making dams In the Indian
ghauts to-day.
Sometimes the hills are terraced
for cultivation, after the fashion OF
hills in southern Japan and elsewhere.
only in Mekran the terraces are dry
and bare, and not even a blade OF
grass remains. The crumbling ruins
of whole cities, the very names OF
which are forgotten, lie concealed be-
tween the serrated ridges"

WITHOUT any apparent reason
whatsoever the price of sugar
has gone up so high that it might
well be considered luxury of
life. The quotations to the local
retailers the first of the week
were at the rate of So 68 a hun
dred which together with the
retailers profit would bring the
price to the consumer up to over
$500, and this right at time Of
the ear when most of the sugar
is being used. Just why sugar
should soar so high at this time
does not look reasonable for so
far as we know there has not
been q shortage of the sugar
cane crop and the beet crop is
about as large as it ever was
tile two things from which sugar
is made. The price seems to
have steadily climbed since the
government detected that it was
being cheated out of thousands
of dollars by wrong weights be-
ing given on imported sugar.
The sugar magnets are bound to
get their price somehow and
when the government cannot be
cheated by false weights the
public have to make up the
difference. If you think that
the price Of sugar is high don't
blame the dealer for he is as much
at the mercy Of the trust as is
the consumer. Several OF the

THE N. p. CROSSING

AT A RECENT meeting Of the
Common Council Alderman ii.
FL. Peavey, who is. always look
ing to the safety of the public,
called the attention of the coun-
Gil to the dangerous condition OF
the N. p. crossing at 9th avenue
and stated that that body should
take some action to provide for
the safety Of the public. Some
time ago Fred Rowles. q driv, r
at the G. L. wiley livery, was
badly injured and horse which
he was driving was killed when
they were struck by the n. 2.
train. 1t was a miracle that the
drivers life was not lost in the
accident. This ought to have
been enough to have brought the
matter to the attention Of the
council SO forcibly that some
immediate action should be taken
but the matter still hangs fire
although Mr.. Peavey has been
urging it most earnestly. The
council favor some action being
taken but the matter has been
put off from meeting to meeting.
The right of way at this point
is INSTRUCTED by high banks and
it is almost impossible to see
train until the center of the
tracks, reached and then tits too
late. To make it more danger
ous there lisa steep approach
leading to the track from the
north side and in case a wagon
was heavily loaded it would be
almost impossible to stop in time
to avoid an accident. These
accidents are not an every day
occurance but when one does
occur and there is loss of life we
ought to be able to say that
every precaution had been taken
to safeguard the public. This
has not been done by the council
in the 9th avenue ease.
Every once in while we read
where accidents have occurred
and there been loss of life be-
cause some one has been negli-
gent. The recent Neenah case
is a good instance of this. Here
large mum Der of lives were
lost when q wagon.load of people
was struck by rapidly moving
train on a crossing. There was
large bill board along the high
way leading to the right OF way
and this abstructed the view of
the track. There were none
who realized the danger until
after the accident had occurred
but then it was too late. Many
homes were made sad when the
mangled remains Of that jolly
party wore brought home the
following day all because some
one had not thought Of the
danger before hand. Let this
9th avenue case not be another
instance of this kind. We never
know when accidents are to
happen and it is best to throw
up the safeguards before they
occur.
