His Idea Of
Aqua Pura.

Aqua Puras
While floating down midstream
Sunday night in an effort to get to
church one of the teachers in the city
| schools, as she lifted one daintily-shod
foot out of a mud puddle some two OF
feet deep, conceived the idea of having
her class write composition on "wa-
ter" The following is the offspring of
one youthful mind:
Water Is found everywhere, espe-
| cially when 1t rains, as it did the other
day. when our cellar was half full
Jan had to wear her fathers rubber
boots to get the onions for dinner.
Onions make your eyes water, and SO
does hore-radish when you eat tco
much. There is a good many kinds of
water in the world rain water, soda
wafer. h0iy water, and bTiae water.
Water is used for GOOD many things.
Sailors use 1t TO go to sea on. II there
wasn't any ocean the ships couldn't
| float and they would have to stay
| ashore. Water. is,a good thing to catch
fish in Nobody could be saved from
drowning IL there wasn't any water
to pull them out OF. Water is first
| rate to put fires out with.
"This is all I can think of about
water. except the flood"

Interesting Tax
Question Is Up,

Question Is Up.
A. w. Jones. Comptroller General of
South Carolina, has noticed an inter.
csting phase OF the tax situation in
Anderson. Discussing the question
yesterday one Of the court house Of
ficials said that the law prescribes
thai city taxes shall be collected ac-
oording to the books in the office of
the auditor. but the city has never fol-
lowed this plan and has made up its
own books. II the city should follow
the looks In the office of the auditor,
then city taxes would probably be
paying during some other month of
the year than is at present the case.
1t Is not known what will be done
about the matter, If anything.

-iCn4ldX OF his BUSINESS ITOuUIcS, sui
for divorce will be filed here today
against Henry Siegel, former mer-
chant-prince, whose financial col
lapse has involved not only thousands
of depositors in his bank, but also
threatens to cripple in monetary
way the social career of his wife, Ma
RE Vaughn Wilde Siegel.
1t is to protect her claims to $685.
s000-a-year settlement that Mrs. Sic
gels divorce papers will be formally
filed this afternoon.
=, Misconduct by Siegel with two wo-
men, Miss Smith of New York and
Mrs. Eddy of Dorchester, Mass, is
charged in statements on the pend
ing divorce given out by Mrs. SiegePs
lawyers. Neither of the two CORE
spondents is further identified.
Where some Of the Siegel millions
went before the Henry Siegel finan-
eial crash is revealed by a review of
the career of his wife. In late years
she was perhaps Americas most law
ish social climber. Following is
tabloid story of her remarkable ca
reer.
Marie Vaughn, born in Virginia,
first married George N. Wilde, broth
er of Rear-Admiral Wilde, U. S. N.
Mrs. Wilde, widow, came to New
York with two children, Georgine and
Dorothy, in 1896 and became re-
porter.
Met Henry Siegel while on story.
Married Siegel in 1898 and started to
break into New York society.
Siegel bought costly home at
Eghty-second street and Park ave-
nue. in the aristocratic section, later
bought show place called Drift
wood in an exclusive suburb at
Mamaorneck, NJ Y, and later still a
town house in Park Lane, London.
In 1908 Mrs. Siegef made her first |
big social coup when she was a guest
of Sir Thomas Linton on his Yacht.

cago. Next she entertained at Drift
wood Lady Swettenham, wife of the
British governor of Jamaica. Thus
zhe arrived"
In 1904 Mrs. Siegel went to Lon
don, where she was sponsored by Mrs.
Arthur Paget. She entertained the
Duchess of Sutherland and later was
entertained by the duchess when
Joseph Chamberlain was also guest.
At a Victoria Hospital bazaar Mrs.
Siegel obtained the autograph of
Queen Alexander, a unique social
feat.
In 1906 Mrs. Siegel married her
stepdaughter, Miss Julie Siegel, to
Tyrell William Cavendish, a relative
of the Duke of Devonshire. Soon
afterward her own daughter, Miss
Georgine Wilde, became the Countess
Carlo Dentice de Frasso.
In 1908 Mrs. Siegel returned to
New York, where Miss Dorothy Wilde
made her debut at one of the most
costly functions New York ever saw.
The next two years were spent in
London and Paris.
But 1917 was the year or Mrs.
SiegeIs browning triumphs in a So
cial way and money flowed like water
when at elaborate apartments in the
Avenue Malakoff, Paris, she enter
tanned one after another, the Infanta
Eulalia of Spain, the Countess Ester
hazy of Austria, and the Princess
Hohenlohe of Germany. In addition
to these she gave entertainments at
a club in the Bots de Boulogne whose
gorgeousness and display stunned
even Paris.
By this time his wife's lavish spend
ing is said to have alarmed Siegel and
they agreed to separate, he allowing
her the $4,000 annually. Then her
social star began to wane. Last year
she did not entertain lavishly. in Paris
and since her return to New York she
has been in practical retirement.

Adoo has the machinery already start

money necessary and will issue it to

gress has already discharged its duty
far better than our State legislatures.
In fact the president and>the secretary
Of the treasury dare not do more than
they have already proposed to do.
There are certain things the Ma
tional government can do and ought
to do, but as usual there are ,dema-
gogues among our public men who are
making wild proposals. Such men are
public enemies and ought to be "sat
on"
Let the State legislature do its duty
and the National government may be
depended on to perform it's. We can
stem the tide if We all work together,
but many wild and impracttable
schemes ought to be abandoned
promptly and not talked about longer.

about Tor reliecr. When it is proposed
that the government Should buy or
lend on cotton the suggestion is prom
pity made to include copper, tobacco,
naval stores, and various things pro-
duced by other sections of the coun-
try.
81 feel it to be my duty to the peo-
ple Of Alabama to notify them tat
their representatives in Washington
can secure no legislation looking to
the purchase Of cotton or lending OF
money to tie farmer on ais cotton as
security. Certainly no legislation can
be secured in time to relieve the pres
ent distressing condition.
"I think it would be wicked for me
to hold out any false hope to our peo-
pie. 1t is the duty Of representative,
according to my conception, to deal
frankly and candidly with the people.
If he realizes he cannot secure the re-
lief t-ey desire, he should SO advise
them, so that they will Lot make their
plans upon a foundation o. sand.
"Eye~y senator and congressman in
Washington who knows anything
about tie situation and is candid
enough 10 admit it realizes that no law
can De passed at t-is time ''or the
government TO buy cotton CT TO loan
money direct to the farmer
Senator Bankhead thinks that the
only '-easio.e plan for relieving the
distressed cotton farmer is for the
cotton States to buy witt bonds and
impound one-half OF the 1914 cotton
and issue bonds to cover it, making
these bonds receivable for taxes and
State dues. He holds that the State
must help themselves if they expect
any help at all. There is a serious
question whether the remedy he pro-
poses is a good one, but there is no
real question that he is correct when
re says that there is not going to be
any such federal cotton legislation as
misleading prophets predict and mis-
guided victims expect.
