TO BRING MOORE BACK
Sheriff Reed Went to Cedar Rapids
For Man Wanted Here.

Sheriff Reed left last night for Ce-
dar Rapids to fetch back Harlan
Moore, who disappeared from his
home here nearly three weeks ago,
and was apprehended last night by
the Cedar Rapids police as the result
of a statewide search conducted for
him. Sheriff Reed took with him a
warrant for the arrest OF the man
upon a charge OF wife desertion.
The report in yesterdays Herald
that Moore was then in custody at
Cedar Rapids was in error. When the
man disappeared, the Newell Con.
struction Co. at Cedar Rapids, for
whom he formerly worked, was mott
fed to watch for him by Miss Hollyce
Brown, superintendent of the Oska-
loosa Social Service League. who
has been conducting the search for
the missing man. She received n
letter Monday morning from the com
pany stating that Moore had applied
to them for work Saturday afternoon
and had been told TO come back Mon
day morning. Miss Brown then cali
ed the police at Cedar Rapids and
they informed her that they would
have him in custody within ten min
utes. ARRANGEMENTS were made here
to send an officer after him. but when
Sheriff Reed got ready to start yes
terday afternoon at o'clock, he call
ed the police at Cedar Rapids and
they conveyed the information that
he failed to appear at the offices of
the construction company yesterday
morning and they had been unable to
locate him. Another call at ten
o'clock last night brought word that
he was in jail and Sheriff Reed left
on the midnight train to bring him
back.

Heart of tho haiIstone.

If 1t were not fer the countless trils lions of dust particles that float sepa- rately invisible in the atmosphere there could be no raindrops, snow crystals or hailstones. From perfectly dust less atmosphere the moisture would de- scend i'll ceaseless rain without drops. The dust particles serve as nuclei about which the vapor gathers. The snow crystal is the most beautiful cre- ation of the aerial moisture, and the hailstone> is the most extraordinary. The heart of every hailstone is tiny atom of dust. Such an atom, with little moisture condensed about it, is the germ from which may grow a hail. stone capable of felling man or smashing window. But first it must be caught up by a current of air and carried to the level of the lofty cirrus clouds, five or six op even ten miles high Then. continually growing by fresh accession of moisture, it begins its first plunge to the earth, spinning through the clouds and flashing in hte sun like a diamond bolt shot from a rainbow.

Winning a Bouquet.

Among his stories of Homburg in King Edwards days the author of "On the Track of the Great" notes the fash ion of 'bunching' (presenting bou- quets to ladies' on the promenade and tells this story of King Edward and the Roman artist. Corrodi:
 One morning dear old Corrodi was carrying around bouquet of serious proportions of fine tea roses which he proposed presenting to an American lady for whom he was eagerly seeking in the large mass of promenaders. All at once he unexpectedly came across the prince, accompanied by Lady Cork Good morning, Professor Corrodi! exclaimed his royal highness. How very kind of you to think of bringing Lady Cork such a beautiful bouquet! Of course there was nothing left for the genial Italian to do but to part with his flowers and go and buy some more for the American lady.

Inl,aIinq Water.

Undoubtedly d number of bathers who are drowned meet their deaths from cramp. Cramp is liable to seize anybody at any moment, and when it comes in deep water few swimmers have sufficient presence of mind to turn on their backs and wait quietly until the attack has departed. So they go under. But there is another danger quite as imminent as cramp, though it is probably less known. This is water inhaling. A swimmer or even q wader is always liable to inhale spray through his nostrils, which, passing through the pharynx and behind the epiglottis or windpipe guard, gets into the windpipe and causes death. As one would eX- pect, water inhaling is almost wholly confined to the sea and very rarely occurs in fresh water. All the same. it may happen anywhere.

Syn1pathy.

Some time ago Brown, who lives in suburban burg. rushed into the kitch- en where mother was bossing the preparation of the evening hash. In one of her fathers fists he was holding his other hand. while cussy expres- sion was floating over his features.
 Where is that antiseptic salve, Min nie?' he demanded almost roughly. 'That internal parrot of yours has bit ten chunk out of my hand"
 Whats that, Jimmy?' exclaimed little wifey. with look of great con cern. Do you mean to say that he bit piece all the way out of your hand?"
 That's what he did" answered James. "Clean as whistle. Where did you say that salve wasp

THE OPPOSITE SEX

They are called the opposit, sex because whatever your idee may be theirs are exactly th opposite.
 The opposite sex may be divided into two classes-some class and no class at all. The opposite sex is composed Of women and ladies. Women make an honest living, but ladies play bridge.
 When you read in an obituary the last words of any married man you may brand the article as a lie. No married man ever has the last word. To be prominent members of the opposite sex you must quail fly as follows:
 -First-You must be able to reach your hands behind your back about two inches higher than is possible, clutch button the size of a pinhead and worry it through a microscopic bolton hole.
 Second-Yoy must forget thai you ever had a mind whenever you are thrown in contact with any other equally prominent members of the opposite sex.
 Third-You must carefully commit to memory such phras- es as "How Lovely" 'PerfectlS dear,' Simply wonderful" S. glad you could come," "So de- lighted to have seen you," so that you may be able to upholt your end of the conversation in a brilliant manner.
 Fourth-You must havt enough of a cons titution to bt able to wear suede pumps ane silk stockings in April. .-Ex.

Tho prospective vacancy in the At
tnrney Geueralship of Georgia, to be
brought about through Thomas s
FEEDERS candidacy for the unexpired
term Of Senator Bacon, has not pre-
Cipitated as yet any great number
OF booms for that highly desirable po-
sitiou, but there are lot Of people
who are quietly talking about the
eminent fitness Of Solicitor General
Joseph +. Pottle, Of the Ocmulgee
Circuit, for the place.
BY general consent, Joe" Pottle--
brother, by the way, of former
Judge Of the Court of Appeals Bob
Pottle-is rated as the best equipped
and NOSE effective prosecuting at
torney now in the service Of the
State, and, besides his splendid fit
ness for the position of Attorney Gen
eral, he is unusuallY-really, ne is
popular throughout the entire state

The Attorney Generals office IN
Georgia has GENERALLY been regarded
not only as a mighty honorable and
important office within itself, but d
stepping stone to even bigger things
From that office have been gradu-
ated so to speak, Governors Sem
ators, Supreme Court justices and
ether dgnified officials without mum
Der. Any efficient man occupying the
Attorney Generals office is IN line
for other things.
Solicitor Pottle has not of course,
Indicated to any person a desire for
the Attorney Generalship, and such
talk as has connected him thus far
with the place has been entirely
without his sanction. 1t is not even
known whether he would agree 10

but, il he should il is admitted that
he would be mighty hard man to
defeat, and he might get the office
without contest,
John w Bale. who Is an announced
candidate for the Legislature from
Floyd County, is reported most
likely winner, many people going SO
far as to predict that he will lead
The ticket. Floyd has three Repre-
sentatives in the House
Mr. Bale is 10 novice in the game
OF politics, and has a way with voters
that seems to land him pretty well
on his feet, as a rule He has sus-
tanned only one defeat in his political
career thus far--when Solicitor En-
ns. of Floyd, beat him 125 votes for
that office--and that defeat really was
in the nature of draw. for lie tBalel
previously had scored a defeat against
his victorious adversary.
Bale takes his politics most good

he can be a game loser, when neces

II is quite characteristic OF Wllllam

appointment of w. S. West, that the

as If he had no personal interest in

To get excited about it
