Tribute Of Respect.

We of the Christian church and BIZ
BILE School Of Columbia, KY, in joint
session, after the death of our brother
and fellow laborer, DR.. U. L. Taylor,
adopted the following resolutions.
Whereas, In the passing of our
brother from among US we have lost
one who was faithful to duty, wise in
counsel, possessing a firm and noble
Christian character. The church has
lost one of its oldest and best men,
bers. The Bible School one of its old
est and best teachers.
DR.. Taylor was the leading elder of
the church and chairman of the
official board. He was always present
at the services of the church if not
prevented by sickness which rarely
occurred. He was liberal contrib
utor to all the church offerings &C
cording to his ability.
Therefore Resolved: a..
That, though sad, we sorrow not as
those who have no hope, but rejoice
because of our assurance that he is
with the Lord.
2. That we extend to our sister,
Mrs. Taylor, our deepest sympathy
and love in this dark hour of grief.
3. We also extend our sincerest SYM
pathy to the daughters, and commend
this family to the heavenly Father,
whom our brother faithfully served to
the end, and who alone is able to COM
fort US is our deepest sorrows.
That copy of these resolutions
be spread on the church record, and a
copy be sent to the Adair County
News for publication, and one to Mrs.
Taylor and each of the daughters.

A Lamentabie Accident.

News reached here few days ago of
an unfortunate and deeply regretable
accident which occurred at Snyder,
Texas. There were seven small boys
including J. J. Hunter Jr. nine years
old, son of Mr.. and Mrs J. J. Hunter,
who formerly lived in Gradyville,
Adair county, playing in front
of Mr.. Hunters residence. There
was shot gun in the crowd, and
while it was in the hands of young
Hunter, it was accidentally dis
charged, killing one of his companions
who was eleven years old. This I'M
fortunate occurrence brought great
sorrow to two homes, the family who
lost son, and to the father, mother,
brothers and sisters of the little fellow
in whose hands was the gun when it
fired. The little fellow became fran
tic when he discovered his companion
was killed, and it took heroic efforts
to pacify him. Much sympathy is
felt here for the Hunter boy and also
for his parents, brothers and sisters,
and coincidence is also expressed for
the family of the dead boy.

But it would be too bad if our fed

ACCESS TO SOURCE

ACCESS TO SOURCE.-Girls are
made to buy tickets to a cranky boat
or be discharged. How would single
tax remedy this, is asked.
If all subsistence were gotten from
the lake, access to the lake would
give all jobs. If the poor" could live
on leaves, access to the forests would
remedy hunger. The land is the
source of all things needed, but it is
held away from labor just because it
is needed. Single tax will release it,
because it commands a price only as
it may yield rent. AS vacant land
yields no rent, no one would pay an
increased tax and would abandon it.
Labor would then have opportunity.
This is all so simple we cannot help
wondering what kind Of minds are

Surely, Mr. Editor, he is only try
ing to be facetious or else he desires
to rip his own argument up the back
above some other nom de plume, for
only a rabid fanatic could be serious
in making such suggestions.
Just try to imagine the spectacle Of
a crowd of people watching the strug-
giles of the dear little children and
the women that were on the Eastland
and leaving the rescue business to
God, without trying to assist them to
escape.
Or let us disband our trade unions
and trust in God to influence the boss
es to. give us slaves something be-
sides a crust of wormy bread and a
straw bed in a cattle pen. How beau
tifuI this world would be!
But there, the article written by "A
Christian" could not be taken nor
given seriously, so why waste time
trying to answer it?
If "A Christian" really is serious 1
would suggest that he organize a
passive resistance society, with head
quarters somewhere around Dunning
or Kankakee, where he may win some
support.
AS one of his ignoramuses ! would
advise ga Christian" to come down
to earth and discover that God helps
those that help themselves. John

DISASTER AND EXTRAVAGANCE
1t is wonderful how the powers that
be at once become liberal and ex-
travagant when the community is
stricken by some great calamity due
to their own greed and mercenari-
ness. Investigators multiply as in
sects in the month of August. Priests
and preachers deliver conditional
absOlUtiOn" and funeral sermons for
the asking and even less. Mercenary
newspapers open their columns for
public subscriptions for the needy
ones. The telegraph wires are kept
burning with kilograms of sympathy.
Labor-skinning capitalists give thou
sands of dollars to those in need. All
kinds Of laws and regulations are
promised. Every one seems to be
anxious to ease his guilty conscience.
Or is it to allay the spirit of revolt
and discomfort, which the rule of
greed and graft otherwise might call
into action.-T. J.

The northwestern continuation In

metals, is the oldest mining district In
the United States. The district has
an area of 1.4OO square miles. situat,
ed on the border of Mexico. in the mid
die of that portion of Arizona known
as the Gadsden Purchase. Authentic
records show that silver mining was
carried on here by the Papago Indians
before the Spanish conquest of Mexico
in the sixteenth century. Later the
lOdes were worked from time to time
and their ores smelted under the direc-
ton of the Jesuit fathers and the Span
ish government. and remnants of their
old mine workings, to which the charm
Of romance clings, point the way to
possible wealth not yet exhausted
From 1853, the date Of the Gadsden
Purchase, to the present time mining
has been carried on by Americans

this period, in which raids by the

LOSS or SEED FROM LETTING

NICHOLAS sCHMITz.
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.


Il ig a common practice with some
farmers In Maryland who grow clover
seed to allow the clover to lie In the
field in windrows or cocks for several
weeks or even months after cutting
before they stack 1t and draw 1t to
the barn for threshing. The result Of
such exposure is that many seeds Will
germinate or become swollen so that
even though subsequently dried they
are Of no value or at best OF only very
low vitality.
The clover should be allowed to be-
come thoroughly ripe. If the seeds
are not thoroughly dried in the head
when cut, and spell of wet weather
follows many seeds may be destroyed.
The best practice is to allow the clover
to become as ripe as possible without
loss from shattering; when the seed
is harvested Cut II in good dry wealth
