4 BuMper Tie Tree

A friend of The PRESs sends US
the following item for publication:
A big tree that stood on Adolph
Wards farm near the slough on Cas-
tor river, shaded about an acre of
land, and he had it cut. From it
sixty first-claSs and four second
class ties were made 1t was dam
aged in falling or it would have
made eight more. The remainder
will make fifty fence posts. John
Waele and son made the ties. The
writer does not say, but we presume
the tree was a white oak and il sure
ly was one of the giants for which
the forests of this part of the coun,
try were noted in the days of the
pioneers.

On last Tuesday evening one OF
the most horrilyine accidents hap
pened when the school children were
on their way home from school and
little Esther Ward was struck by
the train and ground to death in

standing on the side-track at the
Cypress street crossing, waiting for
the passenger train to pull out of
town and did not notice that the
local was backing in on the siding.
W. II. Irons was standing near and
saw the danger the children were
in, and made run. and barely sue
ceeded in getting his two children
off the track out of danger, but could
not save the little Ward girl. Sever
al tried TO attract the little ones at

The merchants and bankers are

The greatest objection that the

was qualified to be farm adviser.
Now, let us figure a little on the

EDTog OF The PREss:
Dear Sir: As | am now retiring
from the Office of collector Of the
revenue of Bollinger county. which
have held for the last eight wears
through the kindness and suffrage
OF this good people, | now beg to be
perImtted, thru the coumns of vour
paper TO express in a feeble way
the gratitude of my heart. to the
people OF Bollineer county who elect
ed me 10 that position, and whom

all the taxpayers and citizens of this
county,

collector over to my successor with
a Conscience void of offense-feel-
Ing that at all times during my in

serve the people of Bollineer county,
areane whom | was born and reared,

| believe responsibility is the
greatest educational force for good.
which tise mind of man has ever
come in contact with. The greatest
part of my life has been one of large
responsibility to someone else-and
the last eieht years have at all
times felt very keenly my response
hility to the entire people of Bollineer
county-in the discharge of my
official duty. as a public servant.
bearing in mind all the time that |
owed the citizens of this county a
great debt of gratitude, which |
could only partially pay by faithful
service.
The responsibility of man to man
is so great that | only know of one

Daniel Webster, when he was asked
what was the greatest thought that
ever entered his mind; MY personal
responsibility to God" The greatness
of man is not measured by what he

LORD BERESF0RD CRITIC
OF BATTLESHIP LOSSES

LONDON, January 14.-Admiral Lord
Charles Beresford, retired, in a letter
to the press today, discusses the loss
of the battleship Formidable, which
was destroyed recently in the English
channel by German submarine.
''The ship was lost" says Lord
Charles, under conditions whose repe-
tition, after the losses of the Aboukir.
Cressy and Hogue, we thought impos-
sible In both cases heavy ships were
sent into waters infested with subma-
rines without the protection of torpedo
boat destroyers. which are the natural
defense against the submarine. The
efficiency of the destroyer is shown by
the fact that submarines are unable to
injure the British squadron off the
Belgian coast. 1t is objectionable that
officers and men should be thus gratui-
tously exposed to conditions under
which they are sent to the bottom
without a shot being fired"

BUSY BOOMING FAIRBANKS.
Representative-Elect Wood of In.
diana Here to Further Candidacy.

"Fairbanks for President, 1916" is
the slogan of Representative elect w.
r. Woods of Indiana, who is in town
encouraging the Fairbanks boom
among the Indiana colony. Mr.. Woods
opening statement in the campaign
which he has in hand follows:
"The progressives of Indiana have
held the balance of power in the state,
and after the last election they have
come over, bag and baggage, to the old
organization, knowing that the party
of Roosevelt and Beveridge has become
extinct The result is that Indiana in
1916 will be safely republican state.
II submit that Indiana must be an
important factor in the next national
election and Indiana, therefore, will
have a candidate for the presidency in
Mr.. Fairbanks.
"Mr. Fairbanks Is known to the bust
ness world as a safe man. He is ac.
ceptable to business and, coming from
Indiana, he would undoubtedly make
the most popular candidate that coult
be named"
