MAY Jay FESTIVAL

The May Day festival which was
given near Lake Providence last
Wednesday was well attended by
the Madison folks, as well as from
other places. Though the crowd
was larger than was anticipated,
most of those who carried baskets
found difficulty in getting someone
70 take dinner with them, so plenti-
full were the good things to eat.
Not only was the dinner thoroughly
enjoyed, but the program, and the
music by the Lake Providence Or
chestra as well, which, under the
direction of Prof. Kessler, is pro-
crossing nicely. The opening ad-
dress by the Honorable jeff B. Sny-
der, short and yet interesting and
appreciative, vas given at about IL
o'clock, aft9 which came the crown
ing of the Nay Queen, the pretty
and attractive Miss Ruth Mcclure,
and the may pole dance, during
which time the orchestra rendered
splendid muscc. After this table
cloths W, , spread upon the ground
and covered with good thing to eat,
which needless to say were enjoyed
to the utmost by all present. After
the splendid dinner, the evening was
spent in races and competitions of
all kinds, prizes for which had been
donated by the people and merchants
of Lake Providence. And at night
a most enjoyable dance was given
in town. The festival occurred on
the Arlington place on the shore of
the lake above town, a delightful
place. On behalf of the people of
Madison, we wish to say to the peo-
pie of East Carroll, that day else
where could not have been enjoyed
more.

Some Forms Of Rheumatism Durable

rheumatism is disease characterized
by pains in the joints and in the muscles.
The most common forms are: Acute
and Chro mic Rheumatism, Rheumatic
Headaches. Sciatic Rheumatism and
Lumba go. All of these types can be
helped: absolutely by applying some good
liniment that penetraIes. An applica-
ton of Sloan's Liniment two or three
times a day to the affected part will
give instant relef. Sloan's Linimenti is
good for pain, and especially Rheumatic
Pain, because it penetrates to the seat
of the trouble, soothes the afflicted part
and draws the pain. ''Sloan's Lini-
ment is all medicine" Get a25c. bottle

THROWS ITS LIGHT AFAR
Searchlight Placed on collapsibIe
Tower Worked by Man 100
Yards Away.

The searchlights now used at the
front are not only extremely powerful
but they are mounted on swift motor
cars, so that they can be moved to
any desired point at night as quick.
ly as possible, Pearson's Weekly says
These searchlights, too, are mount.
ed ON portable collapsible towers
which can be run up height of 80
feet or so very quickly. The light is,
as rule, worked by an observer who
is at least hundred yards away from
1t, so that he is pretty safe from be-
ing hit by the rain of shells which
are always turned on to these lights
by the enemy.
The towers are run up by means
of compressed air carried in cylin-
ders on motor cars, which also carry
the electrical apparatus for working
the light. All the movements, verti-
cal as we'll as horizontal, are controlled
by long cable.
These searchlights, which are
much more powerful than those used
in any other war, will pick up a Yep
pelin, no matter what height it has
risen to. They carry, indeed, to a
distance of six miles, though for
picking out soldiers the nearer the
better, not only because they show
them up more clearly, but because the
light dazzles the eyes and throws the
men into confusion.

LANDS BASS WITH SAFETY PIN
Boy Brings In Three Three-Pounders
With Which to-. Prove
His Story

Little Arne Olson, cowherd in Itas-
ca park, who catches big black bass
with such seemingly impossible de-
vice as the much-maligned safety pin,
may have revealed a mechanical prin-
ciple that will revolutionize the gen.
tie art Of angling. Arne does catch
bass with safety pins. This fact is
voucheo for by William T. Cox. state
forester, who heard the tale direct
from the forest service men in Itasca
park, an exchange states.
One evening Arne brought home
three fine bass weighing in the neigh
Dorhood of three pounds each. To the
repeated demands to explain how he
had made the capture he said that
he had caught them with,a safety pin.
Everybody laughed.
He explained that when he clam
bered out over the lake on a fallen
tree his sporting blood was fired by
the sight of a number of big bass loll-
ing in the shade. He had a piece of
fishing line in his pocket, but no hooks
or bait. Then there came an inspira-
tion.
Plucking a safety pin from his
trousers, he fastened it to the line.
The tail of crawfish made pre-.
sentable bait.
Three times he heaved the impro-
vised lure into the semidarkness of
the pool and three times he brought
out bass. Not one got away.
Arne is quite sure that the tricky
pin snapped itself shut when bass
struck, but each one was securely
hooked, and all the fisherfolk can ac-
count for the lads success in no 9TH
er way.

Ioffre and NanoIeon.

A saying of General Joffre's which
has never been given the publicity 1t
deserves comes from a correspondent
who vouches for its accuracy. 1t il
lustrates charmingly the modesty OF
the man who, it is claimed. saved
France. The general was explaining
to a favored American visitor the po-
sition Of the French army intrench-
ments on the plain beneath the hill
where they stood, and he traced the
course Of the German lines beyond.
"It's a big job" said the visitor.
But l guess even Napoleon, il he had
had all your troops to fight with here,
would have had to dig himself in just
the same"
"Ah," said Joffre, slowly stroking
his chin. Napoleon, No, think Ma
poleon would have thought of some
thing Manchester Guardian.

WAR AND PREPAREDNESS.

The bully going about with gun or
his hip has excellent prospects fol
getting into fight and perhaps beina
killed. The fact that he is armed keeps
him in a humor to invite hostilities
The inference is therefore drawn that
the way to make the bully keep the
peace is to deprive him Of arms and
this is good logic.
This argument on an enlarged scale
is used to support the contention that
military preparedness on the part of
a nation provokes war. Unquestion-
ably there is degree of validity to
this argument, but the view which it
represents is a very one-sided one.
If man of peaceful disposition
were travelling through region
populated by thugs and bandits, the
mere fact that he was unarmed would
not make ii less likely that he would
be attacked. AS much as he might
abhor bloodshed, prudence and com
nonsense would tell him to be pre-
pared to protect himself. The known
fact that he was equipped to take care
of himself in any encounter would
prompt the viciously inclined to hesi-
tate before assaulting him. This is
the other side of the preparedness
proposition.
President Hadley of Yale, one Of
Americas great thinkers ie-cntly
said:
1T seems to me that there are two
ways to invite war-one by having so
strong an army that it tempts you 10
attack somebody else, and the other
by having SO weak an army that it
iempts somebody else to attack you.
The United States appears to me to
be clearly in the latter position. I'm
der the circumstances think that the
intelligent advocate of peace should
be most solicitous to increase our

military training to men who are not
in our army, but who would be ready
to serve in case of war"
Here is a sane view of preparedness
which it seems to us should appeal
to all thoughtful citizens. The people
of America are welded to ideals of
peace and will never engage in war
unless driven to it by dire necessity.
The militaristic idea will never dom
mate in this country, but in the light
of the revelation of savagery in
Europe the conviction has grown that
we must be prepared to defend our
selves. Uncle Sam has none of the
traits of bully and therefore the
possession of arms will be no tempta-
tion to him to provoke conflict, but
at the same time he can not afford
to invite aggression by warlike neigh
bors in the world community, and thus

his jaws stuck together, had fit, and
when found was TOO weak to walk. But

IRON INDUSTRY PROSPEROUS.

II is a well known fact that the iron
and steel industry is regarded as a
trustworthy business barometer. When
this great industry is prosperous. 1t
indicates that the general business of
the country is going forward at graf
flying gait.
!, Reports given out by big men in the
iron and steel game, tell us that this
industry has experienced a record re-
viyal during the past few months. II
is conceded that war orders have had
something to do with II but at the
same time, If we are to believe Judge
Gary, the head of tie United States
steel corporation, general conditions
in trade throughout the country have
contributed to the present prosperity
In a statement issued few days ago,
Judge Gary said;
"At the present time the demand
for pig iron and for various lines of
steel Is in excess of the producing ca
pacity of the furnaces and mills of the
United States. The manufacturers
are unable to make deliveries entirely
satisfactory to the purchasers with re-
spect to large majority of the diff
ferent kinds of finished steel There
is nothing to indicate that there will
be decrease in the demand for any
of these products for some time. While
prices are still low, they have been
and are increasing, and apparently
will go higher, so that fair and reason
able profits may be expected. OF
course, these very satisfactory condi-
tions are more or less affected by the
war business, so-called, yet it is un-
doubtedly true that there is better
feeling throughout the general iron
and steel trade than has been expert
enced for some years past"
A press dispatch adds the following
information:
Experts who have followed the
rising fortunes of iron and steel within
the last twelve months asserted today
that the volume of business, both do
nestle and foreign, at present is more
than double what it was a year ago,
and that there are today 175,000 men
employed at iron and steel plants
throughout the United States who
were not on the payrolls a year ago.
This is about 80 per cent increase.
The reason for the increased number
of men employed being disproportion-
ate to the volume of business, uney
assert, is that during dull times many
men we're retained for the purpose of
making repairs, cleaning up and doing
odd jobs
The fires have been lighted in vir-
tually every blast furnace in the
United States In the case of the steel
corporation the last remaining idle
furnace at Columbus, Ohio, is now be-
ing put into operation. Plants closed
for long periods due to the high cost
of operation and the prevailing low
prices of their products have been
blown in during the last three months
TO find parallel for the greater ac-
tivity in the iron and steel trade. it
was necessary to go back eight years
to the middle of 1907.
