(COMMENT.)

The fellows who collect and spend the
ducats are not crazy: they are very practical
men, and they know exactly what they want.
They want the money, and they get it. and
they spend it and when they stop at motor
cycles for the heroes of the Baby-bounty sys-
tenn, the churches get off light.
When some of the missionaries are fur
nished elegant house boats, and steam
launches. it's no wonder the others want motor
cycles They'll demand automobiles, next.
[ wouldn't be the least bit surprised if the
Board really intends to buy automobiles, in
stead Of motor cycles
How can the missionary and his wife and
children get around on motor cycle?
They can't do it.
A fve-seated Ford car is none too good for
a missionary family in which the babes at
the breast draw salaries from the Boards
I'd like to know how the missionary can
be expected to move his family on a wheel,
when he is making his annual change from
his elegant city home to his beautiful noun
tain bungalow.
He can't do it. Families can't migrate on
wheeled vehicles It would provoke ridi-
cule. The heather would make derogatory
remarks
No. sir! We must keep the Bounty system
on gold-standard basis. We must take no
backward step. We must 90 forward.
Of course, we can go forward faster in
Ford car. than we can on foot, or in a buggy.
DR.. VIII. Smith, High-horse Of our South
ern Baptist Board, is out in a postal, bowling
for ducats.
DR.. Smith on this card, says. "The Lord

CATARACT OF THE EYE.

Cataract Is an opacity of the crystal

rome at any time OF life. but Is most
apt to come in old age, when senile
changes take place In all parts of the

A cataract may be caused by changes
in the eye before birth. Children are

caused by changes during childhood,
by disease or injury, by excessive and

Is sometimes very rapid, especially aft

place slowly, sometimes requiring

A FAMOUS BATTLE.
The One Described In History as the
"Vietory Of Victories"

The One Described In History as the
"vietory Of Victories"
The battle which Is known in his.
tory as the Victory of Victories took
place at Nehavend, In Ecbatana, and
was fought between the new Moslem
power I'm 637 and the empire Of Persia,
then one Of the most powerful OF the
eastern monarchies. It was one of the
most absolutely decisive battles I'm the
history of war, and It was all the more
amazing by reason Of the fact that it
was won by people who twenty years
before had been unknown barbarians.
lost I'm the deserts of Arabia.
Arabian historians place the Persian
loss In single day at 100000 men
killed. This may be and probably il
an exaggeratlon, but the fact remains
that the Persian dynasty came to an
end when the battle was over and that
Zoroastrianism, which had been the re-
liglon OF Persia for over thousand
years, was mt once supplanted by Is
lam. Its modern representatives, as II
well known, are now the Parsees Of
India.
The victory was so absolutely deci-
sive that II extended the Arabian do
mlnlons over the whole OF the region
lying between the Caspian sea and the
Indian ocean. With the exception per
haps Of the battle Of Tours, no single
fight ever made such a difference In
the after history OF the world.-Ex.

FIGHTING IN FANCY DRESS.

the Golden Goldfnehes.
Dandies were much In evidence In
the Penlnsular war, and an officer Of
the famous Light division has recorded
how some OF the officers were "rlgged
out in all the colors Of the rainbow.
Some had gray braided coats, others
brown; some again liked blue, and the
comical appearance Of number Of In
fantry officers loaded with leather bot
toms TO their pantaloons and huge
chains suspended from the side but
tons was amusing enough.
The cut down hat, exactly n span In
height, was another rage. This bur
lesque on n chapeau was usually top
ped by some extraordinary looking
featherr
The Duke OF wellington, however,
never troubled about what his officers
were II only they brought their men In
tact into the firing line with sixty
rounds OF ammunition apiece, and one
OF the chaplains, known Ms "the Fight
ing Parson," always wore red hussar
jacket, while during the battle Of Wit

the usual cooked hat, n round and very
old hat and carried "a huge white um.

has been occupied with the Johnson
Ogilvy suit growing out of a long feud
between these two south end families.
Marie Johnson and her husband Carl
johnson, are suing Charles Ogilvy for
$500 damages for the alleged trespass
Of Ogilvy's stock upon their land. In
their testimony they are trying to
make 1t appear that Ogilvy tore down
the fence to their property and per-
'mitted his stock to stray upon II.
Ogilvy originally filed a demurrer to
the complaint on the grounds the
straying Of stock upon unfenced prop
erty Is not a trespass under the state
law. Judge Phelps overruled the de-
murrer, handing down his opinion
that II cattle were driven on unfenced
property, while the cattle could not
be considered trespassers, their driver
was. Peterson and Ballar are repre-
senting the plaintiff while the defend
ant is being represented by Fee and

should own and operate all interstate
railways. acting as common carriers,
including interstate lines competing
with them. (Constitutionality waiv-

Manager Backman OF debate and
oratory has just completed a schedule
for the local tryouts. providing for
three debates or the question. The
first debate will occur before the stu
dent body on January 20, with Clar-
ence Bean. one OF last years estate
champion debaters, and his colleague,
Joe Colesworthy. on the affirmative,
against Cecil Curl and Ralph Hargett
on the negative.
The second debate will occur on
the 18th OF February. also before the
student body. vernal Backman OF
last years team. Marguerite Phelps
and Carrie Ferguson will represent
the affirmative in the second debate,
against the negative team composed
OF Ernest Crockatt, ex-manager of
debate and oratory; Hazel wyrick and
Murton Moore.
After the conclusion OF the second
debate the faculty OF the high school
will meet and decide on the four best
debaters, who shall be equally divided
into two two-man teams. These
teams shall engage In a third debate
on the night OF February 26th, in the
high school auditorium, and the de-
bate shall be open to spectators.
The first and second teams shall
be chosen after the third debate and
shall work together on the state ques.
ton as alternate teams. The first
team, however. will engage in the
contests. but in cases OF emergency
the second team men will act as sub
stitutes during the tryouts and finals
Of the state contest.
