Local and Personal Mention
FOURTH OF JULY CELEBRATION.

Two DAYS were used in this section to
show the patriotism Of our people and EP-
worth Blue Ridge and Copperhill we're
thronged with people.
Saturday was big day at EPworth and
Blue Ridge and, despite the rain those who
attended had Jolly time.
The ball games between Ducktown and
Blue Ridge was the main attraction and
both proved good ones. Blue Ridge won
the morning game, 10 and Ducktown
took the second to 5.
An out-of-town crowd, estimated at
1000 to 5000, was at CoPperhill Monday
and the rain, which hung around on the
horizon until nearly noon, had tendency
to keep many away.
There was plenty of entertainment pro-
vtced and the crowd took advantage OF
everything in sight, and some that was
hidden reports say.
The big events of this day we're the ball
games between Copperhill and Murphy
Copperhill had just defeated Murphy on
the Murphy grounds in two holly contested
games and expected to duplicate these
performances.
But the baseball fates willed otherwise
and the Copperheads were trimmed in the
most artistic manner, they losing both
games by the same score TO !.
Joe Eads, of the Ducktown team, caught
for the Copperheads and put US corking
good game.
Two Copperhill players we're injured,
one having his arm broken by pitched
ball, the other sustaining broken hnger
The davis entertainment wound up with
grand display Of fireworks and everybody
went home, lired but happy.

Followed dinner with Won Hindenburg and a

From total exclusion from German war thea
tiers the war correspondents found themselves
recognized by the doorkeepers at all German
theaters of operation. They found themselves
viewing battles Staff officers explained the
mysteries of big guns, artillery actions, the
German supply system-in short the whole
German machine was open to inspection. The
censor remained on the job as usual, but he
showed himself more lenient, and now he

THE MOST POPULAR EXHIBIT.

a special writer sent to the Panama Pacific
Exposition by a string of Northwest papers
sums up an article as follows:
AT the risk of being picked up as faisifer
or one of very bad Judgment, the writer ven
lures the assertion that no individual exhibit
on the grounds ismore popular than that OF the
fish of all colors, shapes and sizes in the La
waiian building. These exhibits are crowded
at all times. The Hawaiian fish are beautiful
beyond description, and some of them peculiar
beyond belief. Until they move some of them
cannot be distinguished from the rocks near
which they live; others are brilliant red, or
green or any other color. In the Food Products
are shown only those fish used for food, and
here is tremendous variety. All of these are
behind glass at the height of the average per-
son, and are easily viewed. These exhibits are
extremely popular.

WASHINGTON, D. c.-The United States is not
considering recognition for any government in Mex
leo. said Secretary Of State Bryan.
We believe Mr.. BryanT-entirely. The coun-
try that tries to recognize Mexican govern
nent now would have to be janus of face and
contortionist of action.
II would have to sit up nights to keep along
With the procession of presidents and govern
ments that makes life in Mexico City one darned
Inauguration after another and one darned alb
dication after another.
Ii would have to employ three or four sec
Iefaries of state and six or seven Robert Lam
sings to supply the necessary grist of diplo-
matte notes. One secretary and one counsellor
would get writer's cramp the first week, even
With the use of that rubber stamp which hands
but the strong representations regarding the
sitnation as affecting foreigners"
No. there would seem to be no danger that
Uncle Sam will recognize any Mexican govern
merit soon. Villa and Carranza, 0bregon and
/apata, half dozen Franciscos, Emilios and
|elixes, coolies and coolies of 'istas, juntas and
1ther south-of-the-R Rio products are whirling
through the kaleidoscope of the sister repub-
lie. = Trying to recognize any of these as it
Vhizzes past will lay Uncle Sam open to the
fifficulty into which Mark Twain s friend fell
on that memorable fast train--he attempted to
Kiss his wife as the train started and SO speedily
Il went that he bestowed the conjugal caress on
4 perfectly strange lady mile down the track.
Secretary Bryan is perfectly safe in denying
the rumor that President Wilson intends to
Recognize any Mexican government now.
There amt no. Mexican government.

THEY NEEDED THE PUBLICITY.

One of the important and significant develop
ments In recent months of the great war is the
changed status of the war correspondent, says
The Portland Oregonian. No longer does he
repine at some remote point excluded from the
theater of operations and all news centers. Now
he is not arrested if he dares approach a mill
fary rendezvous or insulted if he presunles to
address some important. military dignitary
The generals and statesmen of Europe have
awakened to the fact that they need the war
correspondent in their business; that he is an
asset which must be cultivated and given spe
cial consideration They have come to realize
that military power is limited after all; that
back of all stands the greater power of world
opinion and that this same world opinion is
shaped in no small degree by the humble man
with quill who seeks to penetrate the firing
lines and learn what is going on
Germany was the firststo see the situation in
IFS true light. OF sudden the press represent
afiyes at the German front were amazed by
invitations to visit the firing line. Some of
them must have pinched themselves to see if
they were awake. Field marshals invited them

THE NEW POTASH INDUSTRY.

Hawaii is deeply interested in the potash

stages Of acuteness since the war broke out.
The fertilization of the canefelds makes the
potash supply vital matter 1t is therefore
of Importance to note that the great firm of
Armour & Co, of Chicago has embarked upon
the manufacture Of potash on a commercial
scale, for the first time in the United States.
A big corporation has been launched, the
stock Of which is not for sale, with the presi
dent of the Armour Fertilizer works as vice
president Of the potash company.
Importation of potash salts from Germany,
formerly the worlds chief source of supply, has
since the application of the British embargo
been completely cut off. These imports from
Germany formerly Appropriated $10,O00,00O a
year, the bulk of the potash purchased by
American industries being used for the produc

been in great demand also in connection with
the manufacture of explosives. AS result OF
scant supply and extraordinary demand the
price of potash salts has advanced from $38 a
ton to $3.50 a ton. Only one cargo Of German
potash has reached the United States since
