and electrical storm that swept over
Harrison county about midnight on
Wednesday night, damaging the small

A swath 100 feet wide was cut
through the DR.. NJ. A. Humphrey grove
between Logan and Woodbine and
wrecking the telephone line between
Logan and Magnolia. Eelatcd reports
from tho north part of the county are
to the effect that. the fields of grain

FIFTY YEARS De.
VOTED TO CAUSE
Fifty Years Have Rolled by Since the
First international Convention
in Geneva, Switzerland.
MERCY, succoR, NEUTRALITY
Half Century Of Relief to Distressed
People Under Banner Of Red
Cross on White Ground.

Sunday. Aug. %, 1914. will be the
fiftieth anniversary of the adoption OF
the Red Cross treaty or the Treaty OF
Geneva.
Reviewing the history OF the Red
Cross as world wide institution, an
editorial in the American Red Cross
Magazine for July will say in part:
FIFTY years have rolled by since the
holding of the first international con-
vention in Geneva, Switzerland, when
the Red Cross treaty was adopted.
That was on Aug. %, 1864. For a halt
century the humanitarian arms OF
the civilized nations of the world
have been marching to the relief of
distressed people under the bannerof
the rcd cross on white ground AL
NEST everywhere human beings exist
today the Red Cross is recognized as
the insignia of mercy, succor and
neutrality.
Partly due to the work of the Unit
ed States Sanitary commission in
safeguarding the health and allevat.
ing the suffering of the sick and the
wounded during the civil war, confer
ences were held in Geneva in 1863
and 1864, at which first fourteen, then
twenty-five countries were represent
cd. out OF which grew the organiza-
ton and recognition of permanent
Red Cross societies throughout the
world. Field agents of the United
States Sanitary commission subse-
quent to the convention of 1864 were
the first relief workers to use the red
cross sign and flag in actual service.
In this second conference the
actions of the convention of 1863 were
reviewed and the Red Cross treaty
proposing a new rule of international
law, was entered into. The United
States was represented by her min
lister. Mr.. George c. Fogg, and by Mr..
Charles S. p. Bowles, the European
agent of the Sanitary commission.
According to these gentlemen, the
documents and statistics telling OF the
practical effects of the efforts of the
Sanitary commission in preventing
and alleviating suffering during the
civil war proved of the utmost value
to the second Geneva congress, and
Mr. Bowles goes so far as to say that
but for these visible demonstrations
of the benefits Of organized relief
work this congress probably would
have been a failure.
1.-The resolutions and recommends
tions may be summarized as follows:
''FirSt-That each government eN-
tend it's sanction. authority and pro-
lection to sanitary commissions and
their relief corps.
'.Second-That in time OF war the

Professor Kay 'nspccts Gas We'll.

Logan, June 26-Prof. George f.
Kay, of Iowa City. stopped off between
trains and gave tho Frank ellison gas
well brief inspection. The pipe
was opened and the gas drove the
water thirty feet above the top OF
the well and though Professor Kay ad-
mitted that it was natural gas, yet
he was of the opinion that the amount
would not be sufficient to justify fur
ther expense. However. he admitted
tnat no one could tell the extent of
the flow. Mr.. Gibson is still giving
future cXamina ion consideration,
however. He may In week or more
cement the bottom of the well and
then turn the gas loose. The gas was
struck a short distance east OF the
Logan limestone quarry Immediately
adjoining Logan.

With the finishing touches On the
track and accommodations at the
speedway this week, and with the ar
rival of galaxy of racing stars from
all parts of the country, Sioux City
is in complete readiness to entertain
the largest crowds in its history for
the greatest sporting event in its his
tory. On July ith will be staged the
800 mile automobile race for $25,O0O
in purses. Entered are the most
famous American drivers and the
fastest racing automobiles in the
world. With the speed trials by vari-
Gus pilots already in camp, the possi-
bilitcs of the Sioux City track have
been found to be far beyond the eX-
pectations of the speedway officials.
Such time has been made on the
track, which will not be entirely seas
oned until the middle of next week,
that makes it almost certain that some
new records will be established in the
big event.

They have given the now 10 foot em-
bankment of the wide curves thor

The sale of tickets to the big races
has been extremely heavy during the

cOURTsHTP CRISES.
When She First Meets His Family and
He First Meets Her Folks.

There are two events in young
courtship that, until man is well
schoolcd by frequent experience,
loom up with horrifying particular
ity of incident as moments of ex-
cruciating agony. The first is when
he introduces cher" to his mother;
the second is the presentation of
himself to fher" family.
No man likes to appear at even
temporary disadvantage, and yet
before the scrutiny of calculating
family he is fain to concede that he
would not care to be such COM
plete fool as he appears to be, or at
least feels, under the ordeal. So far
as introducing cher" is concerned,
there is the miserable feeling that
the eye of experience may not view
the treasure with such open and
generous vision as is beftting; that
the hitherto unblemished angel may
possibly, under the critical investi-
CATION, bear some mortal defect,
scar or two, quite unsuspected and
unseen by loves fond glance.
The moment is critical. How
much more humiliating then is the
other event. You have, in the first
place, sneaking idea that she has
overdone it with the folks, carried
away by pardonable enthusiasm,
that this excess of adulation may re-
act under the somewhat caustic and
altogether distrustful regard of a
devoted family and that pitfalls lurk
in fathers prosaic, businesslike con-
versation and. in mothers domestic
insinuations. You feel that sister is
not SO well disposed as might be
hoped and that brother has decided
against you, unseen and unheard.
That the summing up will be
something you would really prefer
not to hear and that the old legend
of two lovers being their whole
world is indeed a legend and nothing
more. And SO the poor fool sneaks
away from the front porch with an
indestructible conviction that heav-
en- is indeed afar off and love state
that bides many leagues from Para
disc valley. - Seattle Post-Intelli-
gencer.

Tn. X.ar Without q Summer.

The year 1916 has a remarkable
cold weather record and is known
as "the year without summer"
In that year there was a sharp
frost in every month, and the peo-
pie all over the world began to be-
lieve that some great and definite
change in the earth was taking
place. Frost, ice and snow were
common in June. Almost every
green thing was killed, and the fruit
was nearly all destroyed. During
the month snow fell to the depth
of three inches in New York and
Massachusetts and ten inches in
Maine. There were frost and ice in
July in New York, New England
and Pennsylvania, and corn was
nearly all destroyed in certain sec,
tions. Ice half an inch thick formed
in August. A cold north wind pre-
vailed all summer.

DODSON'S LIVER tone.
Best Medical Skill Employed to Insure
Correctness of formula. All Agree
DOdSOn'S is Reliable and Safe.

Seven of the most successful ply
sicians in the United States, selected
for their experience and ability, were
paid heavy fees to study and test the
formula of Dodson's Liver Tone and
all agreed that it was fine and re-
liable remedy for family use. Dod-
sons Liver Tone takes the place of
calomel. This is exactly what it was
made for and has been made for
ever since the first bottle was put
up and sold.
There are limitations of Dodson's
Liver Tone for which extravagant
claims are made, but the public
knows how to judge between loud
boasts and the plain truth. And
then the merits of Dodson's Liver
Tone are too widely known for any
one to hesitate.
Dodson's Liver Tone is sold and
guaranteed by DR. w V Brockington,
who will refund purchase price(5Oc)
instantly and with smile if you are
in any way dissatisfied with the rem
edy.
Dodson's Liver Tone is palatable
vegetable-liquid and its action is easy
and natural, with no gripe, no pain
and no bad after-effects. After-ef-
fects are often disagreeable after
taking calomel. Dodson's Liver Tone
does not interfere in any way with
your regular duties, habits and diet.
and it builds and strengthens you so
that you feel brighter, better and
happier. If you feel headachy and
constipated you will be delighted
with Dodson's Liver Tone.

Ancient Manufacture Of Copper.

The ancient Syrians and Phoeni-
clans are well known to have been
active traders in copper, and they
manufactured this metal into bronze
by melting it with tin. Learned an
tiquaries assure US that the Phoenl-
clans actually came to England and
to Ireland in search of the tin for
this purpose, and some years ago
some curious bronze articles were
found in several of the old mine
workings in Cornwall, which are be-
lieved to have been left there by
that ancient people at a time when
no bronze was either made or used
in England.-Chambers' Journal.

The Storm Nose at Sea.

The picturesque name of storm
nose (gewitternase) is given in Ger
many to the wave of high baromet-
ric pressure which often precedes a
storm or heavy squall. The ba-
rometer rises suddenly and then
falls more gradually. 1t is believed
that this phenomenon is responsible
for sudden changes in the level OF
the sea. Observations on the seas
surrounding Denmark have led to
the conclusion that the change of
level thus produced sometimes
amounts to no less than three feet.
