FIVE GENERATIONS.
Four Sets of Five Generations In
One Family.

An interesting family is that OF
Mrs. Cynthia Frazier of near Harrl-
son. There are four sets of FIVE gen
erations living and Mrs. Frazier is
the head of each. Probably the
most interesting of the four is that
composed of Mrs Frazier, who is SO
years old; her daughter, Mrs. Maha-
la Moore 6S; her granddaughter,
Mrs Mary Ellen Shaddox, so; her
great grand daughter, Mrs. Nancy
ZONES, 32, and her great great grand
daughter, Miss lrtie Jones, IA, be-
cause the difference between the
ages of each generation in this lot is
exactly eighteen years.
There has oeen no time within the
memory of Mrs. Frazier, she says
when there has not been as many as
five generations of her family living
She can remember when she was the
fifth in the line, and then the fourth,
and so on, until now she is the old
est of them all Her daughter, Mrs.
Tohn Moore, is the second OF all the
sets now living and Mrs. Moore's
sons and daughters form the third
generations in the other groups,
Mrs. Frazier came to Arkansas
from East Tennessee SO years ago,
and with her husband settled near
Harrison. The race has produced
many prosperous and well to DO
families, among them that OF Wilson
W. Moore, of Jasper, a former repre-
sentative from Newton county,
Mrs. Frazier is we'll all the time, and
is strong and able to get around as
she wills. She lives near Cedar
Grove, five miles south of Harrison.
Mrs. Moore now lives in town,
Mrs. Shaddox is the wife OF Marion
Shaddox and lives near Walnut
Grove, six miles southwest OF town
Mrs. Jones is the wife Of Bob Jones,
who also lives near Walnut Grove,

How Ii Feels to Freeze.

Freezing to death is preceded by g
ldrowsiness which makes the end pain
less, the body actually feeling warm
and going comfortably to sleep. Ex-
,periments have been made with ami
mails to show just how freezing to
death proceeds. In one Of these ex-
Iperiments, in which the animal was
placed in a temperature of from 125
to $50 degrees below zero, the breath
ing and heart beats were at first
quickened, the organic heat of the
body actually rising above the nor
NAL, which is 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit.
This showed a sudden and intense eff
fort on the part of the functions to
preserve the body's temperature. Then
violent heart action gave out sudden
ly, and death came when the tenn
perature of the body dropped to II
degrees Fahrenheit.-Popul3r Me-
chanics.

This photograph is from the Lyman
H. Howe reproduction of the Panama
canal, one of the features of the new
travel festival coming to Lancaster
on May 16. 1t was taken when one
of the gates which guard the approach
of the great locks was being formed.
AS most readers of this newspaper
know, the canal is virtually complet-
ed and there is water in it. 1t is
only question now of the formal
opening of the "big ditch" to the
commerce of the world. Already
small vessels, canal tugs and the like
have passed through the canal.
The big locks are double, so that
vessels can pass in either direction,
just as trains do on turnout or a
double track. Each of the three
locks represents different level for
the vessels passing through.
In passing from ocean to ocean in
either direction vessel takes three
steps upward and three downward by
means of the locks. A vessel entering
from the Atlantic side is tied up to
the wall at the entrance. There her
officers are relieved of her command.
A government official takes the bridge
and another is placed in the engine
room. A vessel is not permitted to
pass through the canal under her own
power. She is hitched to four engines,
one on either side of the canal at the
bow and two others similarly placed
at the stern. These electric loco
motives tow the vessel into the
Gatun locks. After a ship has left

its variety as to battle description.
1t conveys an idea of the infinite
magnitude of the work as no words
could hope to impart, and spectators
are amazed and fascinated not alone
by the astounding magnitude of the
work, but in almost equal degree by
the skill and perfection of the repro
duction itself.
The fiery geysers of Yellowstone
park which act as ''safety vaIve"
for mother earth also constitute a big
feature of Howe's new program. At
every turn, water is seen boiling
furiously either in watts carved by
nature or is being elected to great
heights by fierce explo sions under
meath. Masses of steam rush from
openings in the ground. Terrible
commissions of nature ensue and
monstrous cauldrons become more and
more active until the whole ensemble
becomes a veritable inferno. The
historic ruins of Pompeii in the
colors of nature, a visit to Naples
and to the Paris Zoo where acquaint-
ance is made with numerous strange
animals at close range, the wood
turning industry at Saint Claude,
salmon fishing in British Columbia,
funny fishing near Palermo, Sicily
new symphonies of the sea" and
ride on the Chicago, Milwaukee and
ST. Paul Railway Company's train de
luxe "The Olympian" through the
Montana Canyon and over the Casca de
Mountains in Oregon are few of the
many other features in the program.

there was small choice of quality
the storm that came down from the
north was as wet and penetrating as
the storm that came in from any
other direction. 1t was a bully
storm, but never was intended to
please those who were coming back
from an outing. 1t was of the sort
that one never likes to be caught in.
But lot of Lancasterians were in it;
some had autos, others had horses and
buggies. They all had wetting.

That fine Sohmer player piano
that H. E. Gross got for Andrew
Zenz was in the Gross music house
for a few days last week, before
being delivered. And while it was
there it was kept busy. 1t was very
much admired for the sweetness of
it's tone, as we'll as for the splendid
volume of it's tone. And how that
fellow, Harry Gross, did love to turn
on the rolls of classic music. He
gave to Lancaster touch OF musical
high life. He acted just as if he
had the right to play good music, so
long as he ran free show. Oc-
casionlly some person in his audience
would sigh for "Home, Sweet
Home" but there was little of that
kind of music upon tap. The more
complex selections showed off the
instrument to better advantage. 1t
is undoubtedly one of the best player
instrument ever brought into Lancas-
ter.
Last Sunday was such a beauty
to begin with that hundreds of our
city people were lured to the country.
1t certainly was fine day for looking
old Nature in the face or for getting
down close to her and just naturally
communing with her at short range.
But the weather man had a nasty one
up is sleeve, and he pulled it off at
4 80. The storm was a fine one to
witness through a window, under a
sound roof, but there were elements
of enthusiasm and ferocity in that
storm that made it displeasing if one
had to take it with insufficient
setter. 1t started in and poured for
a time from the south then the heavy
artillery was mover around into the

Crowded out last week.

Parcel post is surely a convent

frailties. Just now buyers of straw

receiving their purchases through the

good people still think that the ex-

greens; but the man who gets it for
5 cents thinks differently.
A quantity of second hand furni-
ture was offered at auction last Sat-
urday, in the street east of the court
house, and for time drew large
and appreciative audience. But the
bidding was mighty sorry. A sort of
secretary, or writing desk, hung on
a 1O-cent bid for number of minutes,
and the eloquence of the auctioneer
failed to dislodge it. The editor man
tired of waiting, so he withdrew, and
as he passed into the court house he
heard the voice of the auctioneer,
faint with distance: "Going at 10;
going at 10; all in? all done?" and
he may still be shouting it, for all
we know. We've been too busy to
go back to see if the struggle is
finished. 1t was a struggle; but at

the highest locks at Gatun she is
afoat in the lake. She then proceeds
through the canal proper to Pedro
Miguel. There she is lowered to the
level of Mirafores Lake. At Mira
flores she takes two other downward
steps through locks. Then she
reaches the level of the Pacific and
may proceed without difficulty.
1t is not only as a portrayal of the
greatest engineering feat since the
dawn of time that makes the repro
duction of the construction of the
Panama canal so notable. Nor is it
merely the purely mechanical aspect
of the scenes. But this reproduction
has still deeper significance in that
it records how man can conquer
nature by patience, tenacity of
purpose and perfect organization COM
bined with engineering and mechani-
cal genius, and at the same time can
reproduce so lucidly now Uncle Sam
contaminated task of heroic proper
tions. The scenes reproduce what is
indeed triumph for Uncle Sam-the
greatest of any age. And from a
Photographic, human interest, in
structive and any other standpoint
they are likewise a browning achieve
ment for Lyman H. Howe as an ex-
hibitor. No verbal description of
what has been accomplished could
possibly convey-even remotely-the
profound impression which these
scenes must impart on the mind of
every spectator, young or old. This
splendid series is so bewildering in

NOW, WHO HAS DIRTY HANDS?
Yours Are Only Relatively Cleaner

There were two boys there, Office

the looks of as much of him as was
visible-and such as that. The boy
holly denied that he was filthier than
the average. Finally the merry kid
der went out. The accused boy turned
to his companion and exclaimed, part
1y in indignation and mostly in
amusement, at the absurdity Of the
idea:
HE thinks everybody's hands is
as clean as his is
Nov that struck me as right IL
Illuminating. I have long wondered
how boys can live with dirty hands
and uncombed hair. have q young
son Of my own and I know that no
amount of moral sausion will make
'em wash and comb regularly. But
don't you see, a boys hands are not
dirty unless they are dirty for boys
hands. It's that same old stuff over
again about everything being rela-
tive. %~
"That boy who seemed to think
cleanliness was an immutable con-
dition, something that just happened
and couldn't be avoided or attained,

didn't know it. 1 realize now that a

hands will be as clean as mine is
"One more precious thought: Did
you ever sit in car alongside a
delivery boy or a molder or a laborer
and shudder in ill-concealed horror
at sight of his dirty hands or face?
You are in the habit Of supposing
that your own hands and face are
clean, I suppose? Well, they are
not, except relatively. Your hands
may be clean compared to the boys,
but they are disgustingly dirty COM
pared to comparatively clean hands,

ready to go ahead with the slashing.
