The Story of the Piercing
Arrow

In the days of old the bow and
arrow, as well as the lance and
shield, played prominent part in
the mighty battles waged in every
land. Christophere Columbus, the
undaunted navigator, found the
bow and arrow in the hands of the
wary Red Man upon his landing in
this, the land of the free and home
of the brave, great, grand and glor-
ious America. In later years
Piercing Arrows in the hands of
these same re@ men, who at first
joyfully greeted the Great Discover
er, left death and desolation in the
wake of these bold and hardy pi-
oneers who had braved the dangers
of the great unknown, and in ev-
cry mighty battle of those early
days these piercing shafts played
a prominent part in the history that
destiny ad pre-ordained.
These piping times of peace find
the red warrior calmly dreaming
his life away upon the fertile plains
OF the West and contentment reigns
supreme, except that civilization
has wrought queer changes and to-
day the modern merchant is fight
ing trade battles that for intensity
of purpose are as mighty as any
ever waged by the warriors of old,
and learning through the school Of
ingenuity and thrift has compelled
the ancient and modern to respond
to his call and has turned the
Piercing Arrow to his advantage
and here to-day in Dillon it is not
only casting death and desolation
upon high prices, but is doing yeo-
men service in dollar saving for the
people. These piercing emblems of
the mighty and modern trade bat
ties are penetrating the heart of
prices here.

Union Meetings

The churches of jerome will leave their
respective places OF worAhip next Sabbath
evening, Oct. sth and inaugurate Il
Union religious service, To he held in the
Idaho Theatre on Main street. Mr.. A.
r. Harness, the proprietor, has dispensed
with all shows hereafter on Sabbath eve
nings and has rendered his Hall To be
used for the Union meetings. Music will
be Il prominent feature OF these services.
The music committee consists of Mr..
Quay, Mr.. Rice, Mr. Sherman and Mr..
Bell, who will form a choir Of the best
singers from the several churches. Rev.
Thos. Packard, pastor OF the Baptist
church, will organize and conduct an
orchestra, composed OF the best musicians,
and Mrs Mannon will preside at the
piano for both choir and orchestra
But the preaching Of the Gospel is the
important element, and the Rev. w. j.
Dodge, pastor OF the Christian Church,
will preach the opening sermon. Never
was the preaching OF the Gospel Of Jesus
Christ 30 necessary in the young life OF
Jerome and throughout our country as
it is at the present time. The best stu
dents OF history believe we are facing a
national crisis. Crime and lawlessness
are on the increase, the Sabbath is openly
desecrated, the Bible excluded in most
OF the states from the public schools, our
cities are seething with socialism and
anarchy and "A member OF the President :
cabinet is TO preside this month over the

nation sleeps in supposed security. The
time has come to rous-. the public con
science to the gathering storm cloud.

Vinegar From Melons

4 good suggestion has been made for
making use Of the surplus melons that
you have on hand, and that is to press
the juice out of them and convert the
juice into vinegar. Melon juice contains
from 20 to 30 grains of sugar per ounce,
or from ID to 20 per cent sugar and this
is OF sufficient strength to make an ex-
cellent grade OF vinegar.
TO make vinegar ont OF melon juice il
not difficult process. First secure the
juice in crock, jug, keg or barrel, cover
the opening Of your container with cheese
cloth, which will keep ont the flies and
admit the fresh air. Then set in warm
place. The temperature should not be
less than $50 Far, nor more than $50
Far. Add about pints OF yeast to each
barrel, and after fermentation is well es-
tabished add small quantity OF old
vinegar, or ''mother OF vinegar" to get
your acetic acid fermentation started.
Allow to stand from two to four weeks
and you will have good vinegar. Donot
forget that vinegar must have fresh air
AZ well as warmth to develope properly.
After your vinegar is properly matured
it should be filtered out OF racked off in
to clean bottles or jugs for permanent use.
Good vinegar can be made out OF any
! juice which contains sugar and water in
proper proportions one pound OF
sugar to two gallons OF water. A copied
recipe gives as follows:
Take molasses quart, yeast pint
weeks in warm place to mature.
Another from apple cider.-Take q
keg of soft water and p keg OF cider.
Add quarts of yeast and allow TO stand
several weeks in warm place till vinegar
natures.
Any vinegar made according to this
process which is not 'sharp" enough,
can have the strength increased by simply
adding little molasses and waiting I'M
till it ripens.
The process Of vinegar making can be
much FASTENED 10y filling keg or barrel
with shavings, charcoal or corn cobs
which have been soaked in old vinegar
Have the bottom Of the key or barre
perforated with holes, and allow youl
Juice or vinegar solution to filter gradu
ally through this. Sometimes your vine
gar solution will have to percolate severa
times through this before ii is ripe enough
for good vinegar.

NelOS From the TripOd

ence for the Divine Being, the Grand
Master of the great universe in which
he operates. No man can be a Mason
unless he believes in God and looks
to him IN worship. This being true,
the name of God should be sacred to
every member of our beloved brother
hood. 1t should never be lightly con-
sidered, even in our thinking, and
should never fall from our lips except
in worship or alteration. Any man
who takes this holy name in vain is
guilty of conduct unbecoming to a
Mason. Such a thing as profanity
should be as foreign to the members
of our order as it would be for us to
neglect a needy brother"
Blasphemy has no place in civiliza-
ton. 1t is a mark of ignorance and
barbarism, and the organized move
ment against it, headed by the great
religious and fraternal organizations
cannot fail to impress the persons who
still persist in the use Of profanity

rangement of the grand stand and
grounds have been made, and the out
look is that the improvements will in
crease the comfort of the public. For
one thing the sunny side of the grand
stand is being boxed up so that the
people in the grand stand will escape
the blazing sun during the hot days.
The gate at the street car tracks will
be locked and no automobiles or We
hicles will be allowed inside the
grounds, nor will the public be al
lowed to overflow from the stands into
the grounds as was done last season
This seriously interferred with the
players and will not be again permit
ted.
Smith went to Vicksburg last night
to be present at the schedule meeting
and will return tomorrow. During
his absence Tutwiler is in charge.
Miller, a new outfielder from Bir-
mingham, reported this morning.
Miller played last season with the
birmingham City League, and
has batting average 379, while
his fielding average was also high.
Wickenhoffer, the new catcher, will
report tomorrow. -Wickenhoffer caught
for Houston in the Texas league last
season and is top-notcher for d
class leagues. His batting average
was 245. This player comes from
West Virginia, further away than any
other player on the local team. All
the other players are from Southern
states.
