Trout,s Revenge on Bird.

Greed seems to have wreaked venge-
ance on an avaricious kingfsher that
piled the Yaquima river near Elk City,
Ore, according to Wilmer Nelson, who
lives on the bank. The boy noticed
the bird dive and bring TO the surface
an unusually large trout. Then en-
sued a battle royal, the fish trying to
escape and the bird trying to swallow
its prey. When the kingfisher ap-
peared distressed the boy went out in
boat, picked up the bird, dead, with
the big trout stuck in its gullet.

WHEN THE SUN is HOT

If we could build up solid colu-
mn of ice from the earth to the sun,
two miles and a half in diameter,
spanning the intervening distance
of 93,000,00O miles and if the sun
should concentrate his entire power
upon it, it would dissolve in a single
second, according to a calculation
made BY Prof. Young.
The great German physicist, Hell
mholtz was the first to explain sat
isfactorily what keeps the sun hot
The sun is not burning; it is heated
to, the .eferiHg point, ike a piece Of
whte-dot iron. HelmhoItz found that
if Ws,suppose the sun to be contract
ing by only 250 feet 3 year we would
receive cur present amount of heat.
In other words, heat is being literal
ly squeezed out of the sun. Prof.
Newcomb estimated that when the
process has continued for
about 100000 years the sun will
be one-half its present size.-Popu-

MARYVILIIANS THROUGH
FLOOD SWEPT COUNTRY

Mrs. Guy Badgett and sister, Miss
Lillian Clark, returned last Saturday
from New York, after two weeks
visit in the metropolis. They went
and came via Asheville, N. c., and
Spartanburg, S. c., As they went to
New York, flood water was still
standing several inches deep in the
Asheville hotel. Houses were seen
which had been swept from their
foundations, concrete piers were up
rooted leaving great gaps in the
earth, and ugly holes large enough
to drop houses into, had been dug
out by the cloud bursts. Telegraph
and telephone poles were strewn
along the track. At several crossings
of rivers, bridges had been swept
away by the furious floods, and the
train on which the Maryville couple
Travelled, crawled along at a snaiPs
pace, on temporary structures.
Mrs. Badgett, in telling of the de-
asserted that the press
dispatches had not begun to tell of
conditions as they really were. De-
spite the improvised railways and
bridges, and other hindrances to
travel, the journey was made through
the storm swept sections with no
mishaps.

MR.. HUGHES POLITICAL CREED

It Is seldom that a lraa in ,illic
life has given es'-,,-"SsioE to a definite
political crAed lTTss ta4ement Of his
attitude toward public service un-
clouded by generalities. Still less
often has man delivered himself of
code of action by which every pub
lie act of his life has been clearly
guided.
Charles Evans Hughes, speaking
to a small audience of Yale under
graduates in a lecture hall in 1909,
said =
Readiness to take office on the
part of those who are qualified for
it and are so circumstanced that
they can take it, is one of the re-
quisites of increased efficiency.
There is no higher ambition than to
be of public service; and to hold pub
lie Office in order to be of service is
an aim to be honorably cherished.
The first consideration is that no one
should take Office or pursue it,
where his taking or pursuit will in
volve obligations detrimental to the
faithful execution of his duties. If
one has the ambition to follow a
public career he should distinctly
perceive that it must not be allowed
to dominate self-respect or to sup
plant the ideals of citizenship. Every
young man should aim at independ-
ence and should prepare himself for
a vocation; above all, he should so
manage his life that the steps of his
progress are taken without improper
aids, that he calls no one master,
that he does not win or deserve the
reputation of being tool of others,
and that if called to public Office he
may assume its duties with the salts
faction of knowing that he is free
to rise to the full height of his op-
portunity. If he can seek office with
out solicitation and promises, express
sed or implied, which will interfere
with the doing of his full duty, then
he may seek with zest and possibly
find delight in the seeking. But /
should rather say: Work in your
chosen field to- the best of your abili-
ty, enter into political activities
without thought or demand of re-
ward, do your duty as citizen be-
cause it is your duty and not be-
cause you expect office, keep your
self free from embarrassing obliga-
tions, be ready to take office if it |
comes your way and you can take
it; but never let the thought of
your selection stay your efforts in
aiding the community to better
things"

WALLAND MAN HURT IN
STREET CAR COLLISION
George o. Brannum Sustained Inju-
ry to Left Hip in Knoxville Acct
dent.

Knoxville, August 21.- George
o. Brannum, of Walland, sustained
slight injury to his left hip in a
street car collision Sunday afternoon
between two of the biggest cars
operated by the Knoxville Railway
& Light Co. The accident occurred in
the Gland" which passes through
Chilhowee Park. The front vestibules
of both cars were demolished, and
four persons were injured to such an
extent that they were removed to
sanitarium. Motormen of the cars,
which struck head on, say that the
signal on the single track through
the park, showed a clear way, and
thus the accident occurred. The cars
were pulling trailers, one of which
was thrown three or four feet from
the track. Twenty-four passengers
were on the cars, all of whom were
shaken up.

THE MAN WHO WINS


The man who wins is an average
man.
Not built on any particular plan,
Not blest with any peculiar luck
Just steady and earnest and full of
pluck.
He goes at a task with Ginger and
Grit.
For he is determined to conquer It,
When asked a question he does rot
''guess"-
He knows, and answer "No or Yes. /"
When set task that the rest can't
do,
He buckles down till he's put it
through.
He studies his duty as to why and
how,
His practiced motto is edo it now"
Three things he learned: That the
man who tries
Finds favor in his employers eyes;
That it pays to know more than one
thing we'll;
That it doesn't pay all he knows to
tell.
For the man who wins is the man
who works,
Who neither labor nor trouble
shirks,
Who uses his hand, his head, his
eyes;
The man who wins is the man who
tries.

= NEWSPAPER SITUATION j.
BECOMING VERY ACUTE
..sk..sk.E.EsR.sf.E.s4a

The gravity of the news print
paper situation is becoming more
acute throughout the country. News
papers in many cities are develop
ing plans for strictest economies in
the use of newspaper, in anticipa
ton of being prepared to meet the
issue of shortage in supply. Many
newspapers are restricting the num-
Der of pages as far as it is possible to.
do so. They are eliminating Illus
trations, reducing head lines, and, in
some instances, are dropping comic
and other features, all for the pur-
pose of conserving space and white
paper. The Federal Trade commits
sion and various publishers associa-
tions are giving grave consideration
to the problem, with a view to
working out a solution if possible.
The situation is SO serious that a
number of newspapers, with con-
tracts expiring between now and
January /, are confronted with the
possibility of not being able to renew
their supply of white paper. In
all sections of the country, north,
east, south and west, reports come
of newspapers increasing their sub
scription rates. This method of as
sisting the publishers to meet in
creased cost promises to become al
most, if not quite, universal. Every
thing that enters into the making
of newspapers has increased enor-
mously in price, during the past few
years. Besides the present serious
problem on white paper scarcity,
stereotype metals have almost
doubled in price. Larger wages are
being paid printers and other help,
due to the advanced cost Of living,
and the new result is that the news
papers are operating today under
largely increased expenses with no
corresponding increase in revenues,

Value Added by Manufacture.
The value added by manufacture
represents the difference between
the cost OF materials used and the
value of the products manufactured
from them. The value added by

1914 and $500, ,261 900 in 1909,
the increase being $1,348, ,973, 900,
or 1873 per cent. The value added by
manufacture formed 40.7 per cent
of the total value of products in
1914, and Alb per cent in 1909.
Salaries and Wages.
The salaries and wages amounted
to S5,367 ,249, 900 in 1914 and to $4,-

MAKING PAPER OF
COTTON STALKS

Berlin, Aug. 14.-The royal ma
terial testing officer at Gross-Lich-
terfeAe, a suburb of Berlin, announ-
ces the interesting discovery that
paper can be manufactured from
cotton stalks.
The discovery is not considered of
much Importance for Germany,
which produces no cotton, but is
pointed to as of vast Importance to
the United States, the greatest pro-
ducer of cotton in the world, because
of the shortage of paper reported in
that country.
The discovery was made, it is stat
ed, by a German institution while
carrying out a commission from an
Egyptian firm, given before the war.
A shipment of stalks which had ar
rived from Egypt before the OPEN
ing of hospitilities, was used for the
experiment.
The stalks were cut and ground,
boiled and bleached, and the paper
then proceeded after the
usual methods. The result caused
the testing Office to arrive at the de-
cision that cotton stalks are a good
for making paper.

WOOD PULP SUBSTITUTE.

New York, August 14.-Lincoln
B. Palmer, manager of the American
Newspaper Publishers Association,
said that, although private and gov
ernmental laboratories had been
seeking for years to find a suitable
substitute for wood pulp in the
manufacture of paper, nothing had
as yet been produced that would
stand the test.
'If the Germans have solved the
problem" he said, "they will have
rendered the United States a valu-
able service, and it ought to bring
millions to the inventor of the pro-
cess. The discovery, if true, should
prove a boon to the paper-making
industry in this country"
