When r. a. Whitby. United States
marine, was arrested by the police a
parrot that Whitby carried under his
arm put up fight, and the sailor was
compelled to call OF the bird before
the officer could place Whitby in the
patrol wagon.
When the prisoner was taken to
the city hall the parrot refused to let
the police put Whitby in cell without
permitting the bird u occupy the
same place of confinement. Whitby
and the parrot were both released aft

Boosta Little Bit.


Anyone almost can be knocker;
I6's easier to tear down than to build,
So Why rot try your best to be booster?
W th pessmists the worlds already filled.
yu can't expect that things will always suit you:
III melancholy judgement then you sit?
fIo. Better far to help along a little;
Better far to boost little bit.
a>eS~os~e>%S
It never pays to join the anvil chorus.
Or spread unkind reports about your town;
btany there are to hamper and retard it,
Who do their level best to run it down.
What if it has it's little failings?
It has it's good points also, hasn't il?
So why not to the wheel adjust your shoulder
Why not get out and boost little bit?
&>se>eo>o>xS
A churlish dog may bay the moon in anguiGh;
The frog must croak, for nature wlled it 81
The mules placed on earth to do the kicking
CAS- any good zoology will show
The good Lord has provided for the knocking,
So if wider groove you long to fit,
adopt this as motto: "BE A BOOSTER
And then get out and Loost little bit.

From the standpoint Of state
development as we'll as from that
of economy, no greater question
confronts the public today than
that relating to health of school
children.
Through the National Educa-
catlona' Association the subject
of health is receiving widespread
attention.
The State Superintendent an,
the State Board of Health arc in
tcnsely interested, and County
Superintendent Leonard intends
to make an earnest and determln-
ed effort to Improve the schools
of Fa)lon county along this line.
Sometimes we hear it remark
ed that 'What was good enough
for me is good enough for my
children. y Such conservatism IL
one of the greatest barriers in
the way of progress.
The proper care of the health
of school children will not come
until the public understands the
actual conditions aud feels The
importance of proper change.
The assertion that schools; are
most successful when KEEP, out of
public gaze, is already an ex-
ploded notion.
The public must be taken into
the confidence of supcrintcn1ents
and teachers, who have THIS mat
ter at heart, in order that there
may be cooperation of parents
and patrons ot the school in
bringing about RESULTS.

Mexico May Get Into Trouble
With the SpaniardS
GIVEN ONLY "a HOURS TO ESCAPE
Minister viii Be Given Refuge On An
American War Ship at Vera
'LspLO .uosIlM }e znLo

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE state De
partment was officially advised late
today that Gen Carranza had ordered
the Spanish Minister to Mexico, Jose
Caro-, to leave the country within TWEEN
tNfour hours from midnight, Feb. 10,
because of alleged refuge given to
Anger de Case, Spanish subject.
The Spanish Minister left Mexico
City for Vera Cruz Immediately after
being ordered to depart He insisted
that de Case was at no time in the
Spanish Legation but declined to re-
veal his whereabouts.
Secretary Daniels tonight instruct
ed the commander of the battleship
Delaware, now in Vera Cruz harbor,
to take the Spanish Minister aboard
his vessel
Consul Canada at Vera Cruz was
directed at the same time TO look out
for the Minister and give him every
assistance possible
Minister Caro- expects to sail from
Ve.a Cruz to Havana to await in
structions from his Government An
American warship will take him 10
Cuba unless ? merchant ship bound
for that country puts in at Vera Cruz
within a day or two
While Gen. Carranza in his note ex-
planned to the Minister that no of.
fense was intended against the Span
ish Government or people. the right
of asylum to nationals OF foreign
Government is long-established
rule, and the deportation of a diplo.
mat for granting this right, it was
suggested in diplomatic circles here
tonight, might easily result in serious
complications.

G. Gardner of North Adams, whose
dead body was found Sunday in q

arrested at Elizabethton Wednesday,

authorities today which leads them to
believe that he is the man wanted in
connection with the Gardner murder.
In partial confession to Officer

Gardners and that he took them from
Jacksonville on yacht to Welaka for
hunting tip. He denied however,
that he knew anything about the
murder, although he said that he went
to the hunting camp with the Gard
ner brothers, which was near the
scene Of where Alonzo Gardners body
was found
Stover has been very nervous and
excited since his arrest and has asked
that the officer be his friend saying
that ''he knows that he is the man
wanted in Florida. as he saw in the
newspapers that a reward had been
offered for his arrest" He has made
his will, deciding his property at Eliz-
abethton to his uncle. prepatory to be-
ing token back TO Florida, where the
murder was committed. Stover is
only 10 years of age. He stated to the
officer when first arrested that his

Washington, Feb adjudication
by the state department last night of
the text Of the notes sent to Great
Britain and Germany, respectively, re-
yealed that both countries had been
warned in most emphatic terms
against menacing the vessels or lives
of American citizens traversing the
recent proclaimed sea zones of war.
Germany was advised that the Unit
ed States would be constrained to
hold the imperial government to a
strict accountability for such acts OF
its naval authorities as might result
in the destruction of American vessels
or the loss of American lives, and that
if such deplorable situation should
arise the American government
would take any steps it might be
necessary TO take to safeguard Ameri-
can lives and property"
To Great Britain the United States
pointed out "the measure of responsib-
ility" which would seem to be impos
ed ION the British government for the
loss of American vessels and lives in
case of an attack by a German naval
force il England sanctioned the gen
eral misuse of the American flag by
British vessels, and thereby cast

Correspondent ECIaims Germany
IS Aryious For Peace
READY ITO ABANDON AUSTRIA
In Case a Settlement to Hor Own
Advantage Could Be Secured
With Allies

Paris, Feb. 12.-Sevore fighting
south OF Lille is reported. The Ger
mans have succeeded in exploding a
mine under the French trenches but
the campaign is reported to be pro-
crossing satisfactorily.
A Zurich correspondent OF a local
paper writes that the Kaiser Is very
much depressed and has expressed to
members of his staff desire for
peace. Germany. the correspondent
writes, would abandon Austria could
she see a way to make a satisfactory
settlement for herself.
The campaign in the passes OF the
Vosges and for the possession of the
roads in upper Alsace is progressing
favorably, according to the report or
the war Office. The German positions
are daily being bombarded with
heavy siege guns.
Berlin. Feb. 12.-Dispatcfes from
Vienna state that the progress OF the
war in the Carpathians is eminent
ly satisfactory"
Berlin, Feb l2--With the Kaiser
on the eastern frontier, operations In
East Poland are being carried on
with vigor. The Russians are report
ed to have largely reinforced their
troops.
Copenhass.s, Feb. IL, tDispatch to
The London Daily News.)-The Kais.
er's hurried return to Berlin from the
east front is regarded here as very
ominous sign 1t is officially announc-
ed that he received at the Imperial
Palace Marshal Won Moltke. former
Chief of the German Staff. and other
generals, as well as Count Won Eulen-
berg, Minister of Commerce. and Cen
Won Kessel.
The announcement that these offic
ials were guests of the Kaiser and
Kaiserin at dinner in the royal palace
on the occasion of the anniversary of
the Kaiser becoming Honorary Colon
ell of the First Guards regiment may
be taken to hide the fact that the
Kaiser ordered hasty council of war
to discuss the critical situation of the
German army on the east front.
The National Tidende's Berlin cor
respondent plainly hints that the Ger
man capital is kept ignorant of the
fearful slaughter in the eastern theat-
re of war. He wires that there Is q
mysterious silence foreboding great
events which may change the course
of the war. He evidently knows mors
than he dares to wire.
