Young People
Huntsville, w. Va.-This town OF
300 persons, famous as the taxless
village, is bidding for fame again.
This time 1t Is through the enforce
ment of an ordinance which may make
many bachelors and "old maids"
from the youth Of the town.
. The eagle-eyed mayor arrested
three boys for a violation of the cur
few law, requiring all persons under
20 years Of age to be In their homes
by o'clock in the evening, and they
are threatening to begin legal pro-
ceedings. alleging that the curfew re-
stricts personal liberty and violates
the Constitution. The mayor, how
ever, declares the law will be en-
forced to the letter.
Whats the Constitution got to do
with regulating the peace. good order
and civic etiquette of Harrisville, any
how?" he asks.
Harrisville Is unique among the
cities of the world in that It levfes
no property tax. This comes about
because the town owns its own nat
ural gas PLAINTIFF wells. lines and
equipment. This 1t rents out at In

So productive has been this ex.

BLAME MANS FALL TO NOAH

Philadelphia, August 8.--Adam
and Eve did not bring about the fall
If man, but it was Noah, according
to a translation of a tablet ir the
University of Pennsylvania Museum.
This announcement was made today
iy a representative of the Museum.
According to the Sumerian theology
found on the tablet, which is said to
nave been written before the days of
Abraham, and which was translated
by DR.. Steven Langdon, professor of
Assyriology in Oxford University,
England, Noah was ordered. Lot to
eat of the cassia tree in the Garden
of Paradise, and when he disobeyed
The curse fell on him.
The curse was that he shout: have
i'll health and an early death instead
of living to be fifty thousand years
old, like his ancestors.
According to to-day's announce
ment, DR.. Langdon asserts this tab
ct is at least a thousand years older
han the Genesis account, and so far
as is known is the oldest record of
the sort in existence. The tablet
was written more than four Thousand
years ago.
Babylonian and Sumerian &C
counts place the flood at something
like $500 B. c., and the lapse of
time between the creation an1 the
food is filled by ten kings, who reign
cd altogether 432,O 200 years, an aver
sge of 43,2O0 years each. The rea-
0 that later kings reigned con. para
lively short periods. the table says,
is that Noah sinned in eating of the
tassia tree.

GRAspInG At THE SHADOW

No man-especially If he is mar
ried-would deny woman any right
she demands. Take the earth and
give us peace, but why does woman
long for the ballot?
When all is said and done, Is not
the selection Of the butcher more i'm.
portant to the home than the election
Of a mayor; is not the employment Of
the dairyman a far more important
event in the life Of the children than
the appointment of a postmaster; is
not the selection Of books for the
family library more important than
voting bonds for jail and court house?
Why does woman lay aside the i'm
portant things in life? Why leave the
substance and grasp at the shadow?
Be it said to the credit of woman
hood that it liz not, as a rule, the
woman who rocks the cradle that
wants to cast the ballot; 1t Is not
the mother who teaches her children
to say Now I lay me down to sleep"
that harangues the populace; it Is not
the daughter who hopes to reign as
queen over a happy home that longs
for the uniform Of the ~suffragette. It
is, as a rule, the woman who despises
her EoGe, neglects her children and
scorns motherhood that leads parade
and smashes windows.

UNIVERSAL PEACE

/. @ .. H# @.
This nation Ia now In the midst Of
q controversy .as to how best to pro-
mote universal peace. That question
we will leave for diplomats to dis.
cuss, but peace within nations Is no
less important than peace between
nations and it is heavily laden with
prosperity for every citizen within
our commonwealth.
Many leading politicians and ofttimea
political platforms have declared war
upon business and no cabinet crisis
ever resulted. Many men have stood
in high places and hurled "gas bombs"
at industry, thrust bayonets into bus
mess enterprises and bombarded ag-
r1culture with indifference. Party
leaders have many times broken dip
lomatic relations with industry; sent
political ~aviators spying through the
affairs of business, and political sub
marines have sent torpedoes crushing
into the destiny Of commerce. Dur
ing the past quarter Of a century we
have fought many a duel with prog
ress, permitted many politicians to
carry on a guerrilla warfare against
civilization and point a pistol at the
heart of honest enterprise.
No man should be permitted to cry
out for universal peace until his rec.
ord has been searched for explosives,
for no vessel armed or laden with
munitions OF war should be given a
clearance to sail for the port Of Uni.
versal Peace. Let us by all means
have peace, but peace, like charity,
should begin at home.

a great deal.
Zone other feature of the situation
this fall that must be considered is
that money is available in enormous
quantities and at relatively low rates
of interest, and just as much of this
crop can be financed and stored as
we have available warehouse facili-
ties. Augusta mas extraordinary
facilities in the form of adequate
bonded warehouses and we are ready
to do u part"
Mr.. Hickman and Mr.. Levy.
Mr.. Tracy 1. Hickman endorsed
what Mr.. Barrett had said. He
stated, however, that the cotton man
ufacturers had not secured from the
neutral European countries the or
ders for goods that had been antici-
pated. Yet that the demand in vol
ume is just ahead is the belief of the
big manufacturers. The feeling is
that if the manufacturers can con-
tinue to steer safely through the
present lean times, for, say another
twelve-months, that there then must
come from the European countries
such a demand for manufactured
cotton that will tax the capacity Of
the mills to meet.
Following Mr.. Hickman, Mr.. Clar-
ence Levy, who also is just back from
the east, expressed a similar view of
the business outlook. While the man.
ufacturers have every faith in the fu-
ture, however, they are not just at
this time plunging. Yet they are
confident that before many more
months roll around this country, in
Guiding the South, will be enjoying
an era of great prosperity.
Mr.. Hickman made his talk speci-
ally i%nterestin G by telling of a meet
ing of the Rotary Club of New York
which he attended and at which he
was made most cordially welcome.
His details of the manner of the club
meetings in the metropolis o the
closest attention. The club in New
York is a large and powerful one and
has enlisted some of the strongest
men of the metropolis. Just now
they are at work on a campaign to
the end of strengthening the military
establishment in the metropolis.

INSPIRATION OF. -:

BY Peter Radford.

When you enter the agricultural d.

your soul uplifted and your life takes
on a new power-that Is the inspira-

by the grandeur and ma%gnifcence of
the scene--that is the spirit of the
harvest. You can hear the voice Of
nature calling you back to the soil
that is opportunity knocking at your
door. It is a good chance to spend a
quiet hour in contact with the purity
and perfection, of nature and to sweet

your ideals with its beauty and expand
your imagination with its power.

marvellous achievements excite our

Before leaving the parlor of agricul-
ture where nature is parading in her
most graceful attire and science Is

GERMANS BREAK
RUSSIAN LINE
UNOFFICIAL REPORT SAYS LINE
is BROKEN AND ADVANCE
CONTINUES.

Berlin, (by w~ireless). Aug. 10
German troops have broken through
the Russian lines from the Narew to
the Bug Rivers, it was officially an
nounced to-day in a report from the
general staff. The advance of the
|Teutonic troops is now expected to
move much more rapidly. ,
In their continued progress south
of the Narew River, the Germans
have captured the towns of Loslce
and Miedzyrzec, while Field Marshal
Won Mackensen's army has occupied
Ciale SlawatysZe, east of WlodaWa.
Won Mackensen is striving to get
east of Brest-Litovsk and cut OH the
Russian retreat in that region.
The left wing of the army of Prince
Leopold of Bavaria, the general staff
also reports, has crossed the Bug
River east of Drogiezyn. From this
point the Bavarians can strike at
Brest-Litovsk from the north.
Hard fighting continues at kovno.
The Russian garrison is being worn
down, as the Germans claim the cap
ture of 1,73O more prisoners there:
Fierce fighting is apparently, IN
progress at Novo Georgievsk, which
has been completely surrounded, the
official report stating that the Rus
sian defenders have been driven far
Their back from their Notifications.
Novo Georgievsk Surrounded.
Petrograd, Aug. 16.-Novo Geor-
eievsk. Russia's great fortress at the
function of the Vistula and Narew
Rivers and one of the strongest pure
ly military works in the field, has
been invested by German troops, the
War Office announced to-day. A
thrilling struggle is expected during
the operations about the stronghold.
The Russian troops left in Novo
Georgievsk number, according to I'M
official reports, between 100000 and
10000 men. 1t is predicted by Pet
rograd military experts that with an
adequate supply of munitions the
Russians will be able to hold the for
tress for many months.
Novo Georgievsk was designed by
nature as a fortress, and the natural
barriers were increased and strength
ened by man. 1t was the genius Ma
poleon, more than 100 years ago,
that first detected the advantages of
the place, and the first defenses were
erected there by his military engi-
neers in 1907.
There is no city at Novo Geor-
gievsk. 1t is essentially an armed
stronghold dominating the Vistula,
the Narew, the nearby railways and
several strategical highways.
The site of the fortress is about
$50 feet above the sea level; and
about 100 feet above the level Of
the Vistula. 1t lies upon a plateau
which slopes precipitately to the
banks of the two rivers.
