SEVERELY S7UNC !.
BY ENRACED BEES
SUSPENDED BY ROPES WHILE
CUTTING TREE, cENTERviLLE
MAN HAS TROUBLE.

Centerville, Aug. 4.--Suspended by
a rope while engaged in cutting bee
tree on Shoal creek, Morley Hughes
was attacked by the enraged bees
and before he could let himself down,
was severely stung all over the body,
20 that he had to have medical atten-
ton. He is quite little better this
morning and will doubtless soon re-
cover from his unpleasant experience.
Mr.. Hughes. together with his broth
or, Dwight, Ike Crowder and several
others, had been baling hay in the
morning and about noon slight rain
made the hay too wet to work with
for some time. So they conceived the
idea of cutting a bee-tree in nearby
woods to pass the time away until
they could return to their work. A
cross-cut saw was accordingly pro-
cured and the party went over to
whore the tree had been located and
which was believed to contain q guam.
tity Of delicious honey.
The limb containing the bees was
some distance from the ground and 1t
was found necessary for one of, the
men to climb the tree in order that
the cross-cut saw might be put to use
in severing the limb. Mr.. Hughes
volunteered to do this, and. in order
to leave his hands free, tied rope
about his body and then to the tree
to hold him in place. The plan was
to cut the limb almost through and
then to finish the Job from the ground
with hand saw. This plan failed to
work, however, for when the limb was
broke, liberating the swarm and leav.
ing Mr.. Hughes tied up in the tree
and at their mercy.
The angry bees naturally attacked
him and before he could unite the
rope and let himself down he had
been badly stung all over the body.
His face was especially full of the
stings and it was quite taske to re.
move all OF them. He was taken
home by his companions and physi
clan called who gave him relief and
he is now recovering from his danger
GUS experience. The episode might
easily have proved fatal as bees have
been known in several instances to
sting their victim so badly that he
died, and this could easily have re-
suited in this case had Mr. Hughes
not been able to get away. as quickly
as he did. .r}

POLITICS

The campaign now is on this year,
And this is no delusion
And there will be some noise, / fear,
And very much confusion.
Great men, possessed Of silver tongues
Armed with statistics dreary,
Will exercise their aching lungs,
Until the world grows weary.
There 8 no emergency right now
But we should spend, by gravy,
A half a billion anyhow
To strengthen our weak navy.
The army, too, must be made strong,
Puissant and potential,
And coast defenses all along
Are equally essential.
Thus some will talk as smooth as grease
With seeming normal seuses,
While some win plead to keep the peace
And save these fool expenses.
Brave men who bend meath heavy loads
In these two groups ] mention
To plead, myself, for better roads
Is now my full intention.
Good roads are what we need today,
Then if dread foes assail us,
We make a speedy getaway,
And they can't catch and ffail us.
If ] sit back with loaded gun,
Heaven pity my condition;
On solid roads TO cut and run
Fulfills my fond ambition.
The people now at any rate
Must listen to our pleading,
We II have it out in dread debate
For weeks and weeks succeeding.
The oratoric shells will burst,
Throughout the changing season,
Until about November first,
When men get back their reason.

FAIRBANKS ON MEXICO.

Hon. Charles ". Fairbanks, in August
1918, at indianapolis, said:
"I have no doubt that the distur'
banee in Mexico during the last few
years has been due TO an effort on the
part of ambitious, cunning men to force
Intervention and possible annexation
"Sensationalists are adding to the
confusion of the situation and are max
ing more difficult the solution Of the
problem.
"Tf all our spectators in Mexico suf
fer pecuniary loss as the result Of re
curing revolutionists, that is a matter
for future consideration, when stable
government and peace are fully estab
lished in that country.
at is no warrant for shedding the
blood of Americans.
"To sacrifice the life of one soldier
for all the dollars investors or specula
tors have ventured in Mexico would bt
the supremest criminal folly.
at is not an hour for either little
politics or sensational journalism.
