WOODROW SCHOOLHOUSE.

Good interest and fine crowd at
Sunday school Sunday. R. J. Hogan,
wife and little daughter, Mena, at
tended from the Section. A large
crowd and host of pretty girls from
Cypress Valley.
Our teacher was little "under the
weather" last week and went home
and sent his brother, Prof. C. X.
Wilkerson, to teach for him a few
days.
G. w. Jones and Luther Smith
made business trip to Austin last
week.
1t is so warm these days that we
are afraid the county candidates are
going to sour, but we are going to
keep ours" on ice.
The first open boil of cotton was
found here in the crop of John A.
Wilson last week. Also an open boil
found in the crop of Collie Snow.
G w. Jones bought good mich

1t was announced last Sunday at
Sunday school that the people would
meet at Robert Wright's next Satur-
day to- erect the arbor under which
the Atkins evangelist, T. J. Bonner,
would hold the 10 days meeting pre-
viously announced on this page last
week, the meeting to commence on the
fifth Sunday. AS there is no other
meeting announced for that date, we
expect large attendance.
Our teacher, Ohio II. Wilkerson,
will attend the school contest at Nay
lor. We would have had represen-
tative there, but for the fact that we
were a little better prepared in the
way of a teacher, and were a little
afraid it wouldn't be exactly fair to
small schools which were not so well
provided for.
Beach, the old family mule of P.
E. Bryant's, went to the "mule king

LIGHTNING KILLS

ALL VICTIMS STRUCK DOWN IN
+ RADIUS OF IL MILES ABOUT
SAME HOUR.

ozark, Aug. ZZ.-F our persons were
killed and another so badly injured
that he probably will die-all within
radius of II miles of Ozark yester-
day afternoon in one of the most dis
astrous electrical storms that ever Wis
tied this vicinity. Several other per-
sons were shocked, horse belonging
to one of the victims was killed and a
barn set on fire and burned. All the
victims were struck about the same
time.
The dead:
Russell Snow, son of Lanse Snow, a
farmer of Watalula township, about
five miles north of Ozark
Miss Birtie Moore, his sister-in-law,
killed at the same time.
Sid Harmons, farmer, living four
miles east of Ozark.
Franklin Kensinger, who was trav-
cling across the country, was killed IL
miles north of Ozark.
Snow and Mrs. Moore, who was the
daughter of D. r. Cobb, were loading
hay in field in Watalula township
A heavy cloud was seen approaching
and they were hurrying to get the hay.

killed by the same bolt One of the
horses attached to the wagon on which
they were loading the hay was killed
and the other was stunned
About the same time lightniny
struck the barn of Charles Harmons,
four miles east of Ozark. Sidney Har-
mons, cousin of Charles Harmons,
was sitting in the doorway of the barn
and was instantly killed. Charles
Harmons, who was also in the barn,
was knocked down and stunned. 1t
was with difficulty that he and the
body of his cousin were rescued from
the burning barn by members Of the
family. Reports from the Harmons'
home last night stated that Charles
Harmons is in serious condition and
the attending physician is doubtful of
his recovery. The barn was destroy
ed, together with several tons of hay
and other feedstuff.
Franklin Kensinger, who was driv-
ing in a wagon through this part of
the country with his family, was kill
ed as he sat with the members of his
family in the wagon at the home of A.
j. Tubbs, IL miles north of here,
where they had taken refuge from the
approaching storm. The members of
his family, although only a few feet
from him, were not seriously injured.
All were badly stunned, however.
The storm was not of special vio-
lence or duration.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Special Washington Correspond
ent of The Times.
BY CLYDE II. Tavenner.

BY CLYDE II. Tavenner.
Washington, D. C.--Three million
dollars is to be the saving to the peo.
pie of the country as the result of the
fact that Congressman Ben johnson
OF Kentucky is Chairman of the House
Committee on the District of Colum-
bia. He discovered that the people
in the States are paying one half of
the taxes for those who reside in the
District of Columbia and, until he be-
gan to make fight in Congress they
did not know it. Even some of the
members of Congress did not know
it.
The practice of the government
standing one-half of the taxes for
residents of the District of Columbia
is an old one. 1t has been going on
for years. Custom is hard thing to
break down. But there is really no
more reason why the people of the
states should bear half of the expense
of maintaining the District of Colum-
bia than there is why they should
pay half of the taxes of the residents
of the capitals of states. The old pol
icy of the government to stand one
half of the taxes makes Washington
a fine place for tax lodging million
aires to build their palaces. 1t might
only be expected that when Mr.. john
son began his fight pressure would
be brought to bear on him to force
him to abandon it. It was. The
great newspapers of Washington
flayed him and ridiculed him; the
Senate set itself up against him, he
was opposed on the floor of the
House, and he had to fight and fight
hard, for every inch of headway he
made.
But Mr.. johnson took the attitude
that be was sent to Congress to serve
he best intefests Of all the people

lfine soft snaps for the wealthy Of

dollars out of the last appropriation
bill for the District of Columbia.

"The people back in the states are
taxed to carry on their local city,
county and state governments, and,
in addition, are taxed to pay one hal,
of all the municipal expenses of the
City of Washington" declared Mr..
johnson. Congress quarrelS and
fights within itself over the question
as to whether one or two battleships
shall be built, and without batting an
eye or asking question votes the
price of a dreadnaught to Washing
ton each Congress. Widows of the
old soldiers are compelled to fight
and scramble for an eight dollar or a
twelve dollar month pension, but
the widow of Washington police
man is paid a pension of fifty dollars
a month and no questions asked,
while the eight dollar pensioned wild
ow back in the states is taxed to help
pay it. The same may be said of the
old soldier himself.
"The County school teacher bears
her part of tax burden in order to
pay the school teacher 81, 800 for
teaching 28O hours in the schools of
Washington. The school child back
in the states bears its proportion of
tax at home for school books, and
then pays tax to buy school books
for the child of the millionaire who
lives in Washington. The farmer on
the rural route in the states must
carry lantern on his road or travel
in the dark while he pays his pro-
portion Of the cost to put electric
lights on the rural routes which lead
out of the City Of Washington to the

Farm Machinery.

Numerous investigations upon this
farm machinery question have brought
out that the life of farm machinery de-
pends a great deal on the owner. The
same identical machine or implement
will last twice as long with one man
as It does with another. The difference
in duration is In favor of the ma
chinery that is housed. All leather
belts and canvas parts should be Ia
ken from the machine and stored In
a dry place and in place free from
rats and mice. A few of these rodents
can do a great amount of damage In
very short time. Figure the cost Of
your machine and the per cent. Il

to range through many crops that are
grown on the farm without damage
to the crops and by such practice Sc
cure double returns from the same
piece Of land.
Orchards or cornflelds are ideal for
this purpose and the presence OF the
chickens in them Is beneficial rather
than detrimental. as they will destroy
large numbers of insects injurious to
the crops. The movable colony house
which is rapidly coming into general
use on the farm makes 1t possible to
scatter the chickens out over the
fields.
This method IL especially valuable
for handling the young stock. as II
gives freedom to the birds. The re
