DINNERS AND DINNERS

Every little while some enter
prising correspondent sends out to
the daily press of the country a
glowing account Of a dinner given
by some metropolitan mutimilion-
aire. This twaddle is extended
and amplifed even to a description
of the virtues of the $4,000 a year
chef or the latest pet monkey that
ate from the same table.
We haven't any $4,000 chef, and
we don't banker after the COM
pany Of four footed monkeys, but
we want to say right here that the
fellow who eats at our table will
get meal set before him that has
more solid enjoyment in it than
any of those produced for multimil-
ionaires and monkeys.
And there's many a man in this
town who has the same opinion of
the good old fashioned dinners
served up by his own wife.

WHEN EVERYBODY WORKS

A movement seems to be spread
ing over certain sections of the
country, notably in some of the
Southern states, which has great
possibilities when properly pushed.
The idea is to select a certain
roadway, for instance, which is
in need of Improvement and ID of
vital interest to all of the people
The next step is to arrange for
a holiday on a certain date, at
which time the people all turn out,
by the hundreds and thousands,
and all take off their coats and
pitch in and build the road or
whatever the object sought may be.
Often the ladies declare a picnic
and go along and take the din
ners for the men and cheer them
with their presence.
1t has proven a great success in
every case that has come under our
An if it is successful in other
places, why not heref
Why can't we Of this town de-
clare three or four such general
holidays and everybody turn out
and make some improvement that
is greatly needed in our midstf
Why can't we do something that
viii make this a more attractive
place for the farming community

PREDICTS GOOD WEATHER FOR
 FOURTH

The weather man has promised the Times that on the Fourth of July he will give us nice, clear. sunshiny wea- ther. The finest day of the year, he declares, is already bottled up and on the way to Cordova, ready to be uu- corked on that day of days.
 The weather man. who refuses to divulge his identity, is willing to stake his reputation that his Is the right prediction as to the weather. He points to the high wind of last night, which he says is a sure indi- cation that fair weather is not more than two days off.
 In the meantime preparations for the Fourth celebration are going ahead on the presumption that the weather man is right, and will be able to deliver a beautiful red lemonade uaY as ordered.
 Reports from up the line indicate that a larger crowd than was at first anticipated is coming to Cordova. The onefare rate for the round trip has tempted many to come to Cordoya and attend to business which otherwise would have to be postponed.
 The street is in first class condi- tion, and will require only several hours of sun to make it a good fast track for the races scheduled.
 Will Clayson, in charge of the boat races, says he is not worried at all about the weather. as the sports of which he has control can be pulled off rain or shine.
 Dr. Council is proud of the ball team. He insists that he has the fast est aggregation which ever stepped on the local diamond, and predicts great things when his men meet the team from Valdez.

He was condemned on March l6, for giving the Germans information as to numbers and movements of troops in France, and had since vainly exhaust ed all means of appeal, including that of applying to the president of the republic.
 On the morning of his execution Condoyannis was awakened in his cell at half past two o'clock and told this his time had come. He dressed slowly, repeating that he wanted to make further statements. but inter- rupting himself every now and then to say to the guards: 80 you insist that shall be shot?"
 When dressed. Condoyannis was ordered into a wagon drawn by two horses and was taken on journey of half an hours duration to the butts" Getting out of the wagon. he walked firmly enough, the guards say, to the wooden post at which he was to stand to be shot, but kept con stantly exclaiming; "I protest, l pro test" While he was still protesting the guards began to bandage his eyes, but Condoyannis tore the cloth away, saving that he would give the order to fire himself.
 At this point he began to make speech. Brave French soldiers He got so far, but no further-at this moment the officer commanding the firing party lowered his sword and Condoyannis fell pierced by dozen balls, .,,
