EAGLE LAKE MoToRIsT SOLVES
BIG MYSTERY AND ALSO RE.
DucES EXPENSES.

Joe Lochowitz, of Eagle Lake, over
in Warren county, according to reports
received in Hattiesburg from what ap-
pears to be reliable authorities, has
discovered what became of his gaso-
line, and solved one of the mysteries
OF the countryside
Some months ago, Joe bought what
be called an automobile, although the
folks in Joe's neighborhood, know it
is Ford. He Dragged for month or
two about how little gas it used, and
how many miles a gallon he made
and then he suddenly quit Dragging.
His gasoline bills doubled.
Joe had put self-pumping tank in
his garage, and the way the gasoline
disappeared was astonishing. He dug
up the tank hunting leaks, and he sus-
pected everyone in his neck of the
woods who owns a machine or boat
of stealing gasoline.
1t went on for long time and he
couldn't find out what was becoming
of the gas. Recently the first time he
filled the tank about a third of it dis
appeared in two days. He has filled
the tank three times with the same
result.
Yesterday he learned what was be-
coming of it., He and old Splay Foot,
his coon dog, were out in the woods
and Splay treed something in big
hollow tree. joe shifted around and
smelt gasoline, mixed with something
else. He called Splay off, built a
smudge in the hole and fed. From a
safe distance he saw four skunks dash
from the hole, and the minute they
hit the fire they flared up and were
burned to death.
The skunks had been stealing his
gasoline and using 1t for perfume.

IT, A. FOR HIM

Here's another Hattiesburg resident
who wouldn't exchange the teeniest,
tiniest Stars and Stripes flag for the
biggest piece of bunting the Czar of
all the Russias and all his subjects
can buy.
Simon Cranow, formerly one of the
Little White Fathers" countless mil
lions of subjects. can't see this empire
and emperor business for a minute.
Simon has been in the United States
more than two years, and in Hatties-
burg almost as long. Hattiesburg looks
better to him, he says, than any place
Car Nicholas possesses. Therefore
he not only wants to live here. but he
wants to be part of the community.
Cranow is a salesman for Calhoun's
Bankrupt Store. He has been in the
United States, as has been said, but
little more than two years, but he
speaks the English language fluently.
So he drifted into Chancery Clerk Her
bert Gillis' office today and applied
for naturalization papers. 1t will take
some time to do 1t, but Cranow is al
most sure to be given them.
He told Mr.. Gillis just what he
thought of the United States, and con-
trasted it with his native land. Moth

slang when asked If he ever expected
to return to Russia permanently. 81

old. l had been there long enough to
know that that wasn't any place for
me. So disappeared as soon as 1
could. And If ever get my papers,
they'll never get me back over there"
He was told that it will be some
years yet before the papers are issued
but be said he was willing to wait that
long.

His Education And Banking Expert
ease Have Fitted Him Particularly
Well For Position He Seeks-Not
Running Against Any Particular
Candidate.

Stl they come in the race for cir
cult clerk.
With four entries already announced,
Wade l.. Summers today authorized
The News to announce his candidacy
for this position and made it a race
between five.
Mr.. Summers was born and reared
in Lincoln county. When but four
years of age he was stricken with
paralysis in his lower limbs and never
since has he been able to walk. This
psysical infrmity, however, had no
effect on the boys ambition and in
spite Of his handicap he managed to
take the course in the county schools
of Lincoln county and then attended
Mississippi College for four years. He
then entered the Georgia-Alabama
Business College at Macon, Ga, grad
uating in bookkeeping and stenogra-
ply from that institution.
Mr.. Summers then returned to
Brookhaven, where he took a clerical
position In the Commercial Bank of
that city. After working at the bank
for several years he announced for
treasurer of Lincoln county, and was
elected over five opponents. He
served in this office from 1904 to 1908,
and after finishing his term he re-
moved to Hattiesburg.
He has lived here for six years, dur
ing which time he has compiled vital
statistics and done other clerical work
for the state and has done office work
for his brothers, Drs. Summers and
Summers.
In spite of the fact that he is unable
to use his lower limbs, Mr.. Summers
expects to make an active campaign
for the position he seeks. BY means
of a horse and buggy he will visit

today than it ever was before, and by

piles of rubbish which were not
reached yesterday by the wagons, VIII
have been removed. The street clean
ing department, under Commissioner
Caperton, is at work today, going
through those sections which could
not be reached yesterday. Scores of
wagons of rubbish were removed. Mrs.
J. S. Conner and DR.. G. G. HightoWer'
the officials In general charge of the
campaign, said that practically all the
rubbish will be at the dump heaps be-
fore tomorrow ends.
Just as soon as the polishing" work
Is completed, and the officials want to
hurry the work as rapidly as possible.
the committee consisting of DR.. Robert
Donald, county and city health officer,
and the Rev. E. J. Currie, superintend-
emit Of public schools. will visit every
section of Hattiesburg, and viii grade
the city from a clean, sanitary stand

was so thorough" said Mrs. Conner.
There were but few places In all Hat
tiesburg that rubbish cleaners had not
visited. These were on vacant lots
the ownership of which is in question.
They were conspicuous, too"
The bureau of information has been
In operation at the Commercial Club
throughout the day, and all requests
for wagons and men to remove debris
have been handled there. AS fast as
calls came in. Commissioner Caperton's
department was notified, and wagons
sent as soon as possible.
1t Is the intention of the officials of
the cleanup campaign to have the
state inspectors come to Hattiesburg
at once and grade the town. While it
is their purpose to try to keep the
city measurably clean in the future,
they realize that there is less refuse
in back alleys and on vacant lots now
than there will be until general clean
up day rolls around again.
