There is tradition that Medicine
Hat supplies the North American con-
tinent with all it's winter weather,
and if this be true, that A1bertan
municipality has much to answer for
in the way OF spelling the Inaugural
ton festivities of American Presidents
Everybody hopes that 1.-THE Hat" will
be on it's good behavior tomorrow,
ana refrain from sending a blizzard
down to Washington to put a damp
er on the introduction to office of
President-to-be woodrow Wilson, but
statistics are all against the cherish
ing of such hopes. Here is what the
Medicine Hat ''jinx'' has done to for
mer Presidents OF the United States.
Extreme cold marked Washington's
first Introduction to office, and rain
dampened the ardor of the partici-
pants In the second inaugural of the
father Of his country" John Adams
was greeted by fair weather, and SO
was Jefferson in 1901, but in 1905
snow storm marked the beginning
of the second Jefferson adnninistra-
ton. Madison had one fair inaugur-
alton day, and one very cold and
cloudy one. Monroe,s two terms be-
gan with cold and snow. The wealth
er was fair and cold when J. O.
Adams began his term. JacksOns
first inauguration was meteorological-
ly suspicious, his second very cold.
Jup1TGT PdlV1OuS SEn1l0Q on v an Buren,
but frowned on w. H. Harrison, and
the, latter caught a cold from which
he died a month after taking the oath
of office. Folks inaugural was
clear, cold day. Snow storms mark
ed the beginning of the Taylor and
Pierce regimes. Buchanan had a fair
day for his inaugural. Cold weather
marked both Lincoln inaugurals. The
first Grant administration began with
rain, and the second with bowling
blizzard. Clouds overcast the sky on
Hayes's inaugural day, and snow
greeted Garfield. Very cold weather
prevailed in Washington when Cleve-
land was inaugurated the first time.
and his second inaugural was accom-
panied by a blizzard that caused the
death of five people from exposure.
Harrison's regime began on a rainy
day. McKinley's first introduction to
office was marked by pleasant wealth
er, his second by rain. Roosevelt's adj
minfstration began with a rainy day.
Everybody knows what j. P1uvius, or
Prof Willis Moore, or the Mayor of
Medicine Hat,-fix the responsibility

Samuel Untermyer, the counsel for
the Pujo probers in the United States
money trust investigation, was born
in Lynchburg, Va, hfty-five years
ago today. Virginians have always
been noted for their bravery, and Mr..
Untermyer proved his courage when
he stood right up in meeting and
heckIed J. Pterpont Morgan and 9TH
ers of the kings and princes Of Wall
street. At the risk of committing
Iese majesty, the Pu5o attorney asked
Pierpont I. many embarrassing ques-
lions. However, as one may lead a
horse to water but cannot make him
drink, SO it is to be feared that Mr..
Untermyer's quizzing of. the money
king did not bring forth answers that
shed much illumination on the mat
er at issue.

ANAToMIK SHOES

Men, women ana children are alike
in danger of broken arch or flat foot,
when the body becomes toS heavy for
the feet, or when foot trouble develops,
caused by ilI-htting shoes. Arches and
braces need not be tolerated. Ana
tomik shoes, designed strictly for
these foot sufferers, were invented and
patented by a physician. The natural
lines of the foot are closely followed
in the construction of the shoes. Foot
comfort is the result when they are
worn. W. K. NOLAN, 1926 Main street,
has the agency for AnatoTnik shoes.

Canada gave the world it's greatest
oceanographer in Sir John Murray,
who was born in Coburg, Ont, sew
enty-two years ago today, March 3,
1S41. The distinguished ocean ex-
p1orer, who knows all the denizenS of
the deep by their first names, was the
son of an accountant, and was edu-
Gated in the public schools of Lon
don, Ont, and at Victoria College
in his native town, with a post-grad-
uate course at Edinburgh University.
In the interests of science he has Wis
tied all parts of the world, and his
contributions to geographical, ocean
ographicaI and biological knowledge
have been invaluable. Nobody knows
better than Sir John the queer and
curious creatures that have their hab-
itat miles below the surface Of the
sea.
Sir Johns first scientific voyage
was as a naturalist on board 3 whaI-
err which visited Spftzbergen and the
Arctic regions. He was one OF the
naturaIists on board H. NJ. s. Chai-
1enger when it made its famous cir
cult Of the worId-a cruise that yield
ed a greater wealth of scientific data
than any other of its kind before or
since His explorations Of the physi-
cal and biological conditions of the
great ocean basins added tremendous
1y to the stock of knowledge on such
subjects, and he was the editor OF
the report on the expedition. which
filled half a hundred massive vol
umes. Scores of other expeditions
have enlisted the scientific services 1f
Sir John. His attachments have won
recognition from all the great scien-
tific bodies and universities of the
world.
Sir John has invented and perfect
ed numerous appliances for bringing
to the surface the strange fishes and
other creatures which dwell at the
bottom of the sea, from one to five
miles beneath the surface--abysses
where sunlight never reaches, realms

Congressman William NJ. Calder,
who represents a Brooklyn district

celebrate his forty-fourth birthday
today, and will begin his fifth term
in Congress tomorrow. Mr. Calder
recently fathered q bill providing for
an appropriation of 100000 to be
spent in investigating a project for
changing the course OF the Gulf
Stream. The scheme was originated
by Carroll L. .Riker, a Brooklyn en-
gineer, who alleges that by building
a 200 mile jetty from the Newfouud-
land coast across the Grand Banks
to deep water the climate of New
found1and, Labrador. Nova Scotia and

Is The Railroad Coming!

The railroad talk has been revived
within the past few days by the report
coming from Olanta that the promo
tiers OF the feeding lines to the Seaboard
railroad are about to direct their en-
ergles IN this direction from Timmons-
vile. The report says that about two
miles OF road has already been graded
out from Timmonsville and that the
road will go direct to Olanta, then
make for Manning through Workman:
but in our opinion, it is more probable
should tn road come from that direc-
tion itv utilize the Alcolu road as
far as it goes, either through purchase
or lease, as that read, with some slight
alterations, can be made to traverse the
sections of the splendid territory known
as Salem, with the advantage also OF
traversing the fast developing section
known as the Fork. There are several
opinions as to just where the new road
will enter Manning, but that is OF
minor importance, except, perhaps, to
the owners ofland. bu to tthe people gen,
orally, it matters not how it comes in,
what is wanted, is for it to come.
Should this railroad come here, in all
probability its purpose will be to go on
through the county in the direction OF
Snmmerton, then on to the bridge
crossing the Santee river; in fact, when
this bridge was first built, we were
told by those in position to know that
it would eventually become railroad
bridge, and was built with that in view:
therefore, if that was its purpose, then
it is reasonable to believe the road con-
templates coming here through the
Salem section from Olanta over the
Alcolu road

Plant Tobacco.

In nearly every county in this State
the newspapers are urging the farmers
to cultivate tobacco as q part OF taelr
money crop. and to back up their urg-
ing they direct attention to what has
been ACCOMPLISHED in this and adJoin-
ing sections with tobacco. 1t Is true,
tobacco has been a great help to the
farmers of this and other counties.
and we believe more tobacco will
be planted next year tnan
ever before in the history Of the coun-
ty. There is no need to fear that the
price will be affected by the extension
OF the culture in this State, it Is our
opinion the supply cannot exceed
the demand if every piece OF ground
was in tobacco cultivation. Plant
tobacco and learn to make the quail
ity to bring fancy price. We believe
the consumption of the soothing weed
is growing, it is being extended into
countries where it was unknown IN the
pasr, and instead of the price decreas-
ing it is the judgment OF men who nave
had a large experience that the price
TO the producer will go higher: There
is every reason to think that the neH1
crop will bring a higher price than
this one did, especially, for the grade
raised upon our soil. In this State the
soil is peculiarly suited to a bright
weed, this weed is needed to mix with
the burly kind of other States, ano BE-
cause of this mixture being necessary,
the States having the bright leaves
will always command good prices.
We would earnestly urge every
farmer in this county white and colcreo
to plant some tobacco, say the hrst
year enough for Que barn, II TINS IS
done. and We can get the ouanity mere,
the tobacco interests will, We have no
doubt, put in stemeries. and we may
also have some of the product manu-
featured here. At any rate we can
build up large market here because
We are surrounded with as good soll
for tobacco as there is anywhere.
