FIND VOLCANO In MINDANA0
Recent Eruption Was Apparent, Lieu
tenant Donneily Says of the
Discovery.

MDdanaO has new-vOlcanO, accord
ing to the Mindanao Herald. Lieuten-
ant DOnnelly. while on a hike into the
interior Of Lanao province, discovered
an active volcano in the Piagayungan
range Of mountains, which heretofore
was not known to exist. Lieutenant
D0nnelly says of his discovery in the
following report:
"Jupe S, 1916, the undersigned, in
command of a combined detachment
OF the First Cotabato company, and,
the First General Service company, on
reconnaissance patrol from Kapaad
northwest through the Plagayungan
nl0antain range, came in sight of an
active volcano which from all indica-
tions had recently erupted a discharge
Of volcanic ash and either smoke or
flame.
SEEom the fact that foliage in the
forest on the mountain sides three
miles to the southeast had been
sc0rched as though by flame, hot
SNAKE or toxic gas, and that ground
vegetation of scrub grass and weeds
had been partially destroyed, leaving
the stalks intact and the scorched
leaves retaining their form, it was
thenght that the eruption had been
recent. At all events, so recent that
the wind had not blown away nor de-
stsoyed the fragile remnants Of the
burned foliage"

G. O.P. SPELLb|NDERS
DIFFICULT TO OBTAIN
FOR PROGRAM HERE

Because of the elections in Maine
and the primaries in Ohio which come
about the same time as the Richmond
chautauqua, it may be impossible to
secure any big national speakers for
Republican day. This was made known
today by County Chairman Bowman.
Mr.. Bowman was in Indianapolis
yesterday and while there visited the
state speakers bureau of the Repub-
lican party in hopes of being able to
get definite answer about some
speaker. Mr.. Eshbaugh, who is in
charge, said that it would be inpos-
sible to give any definite answer for
at least a week yet. In case a ma
tional speaker cannot be obtained,
some good state speaker will be sent
here for the big party day.

Here they pass the winter, the flies
emerging from the flax-seed in the

though migrating less extensively

SMALL BALES COTTON
 UNPOPULAR IN ARKANSAS

Little Rock, Aug. 28.-Small bales of cotton are going to be unpopular in Arkansas this year, for restrictions have been placed on those weighing less than 800 pounds, or , per cent under, and the Little Rock Cotton Ex- change has adopted the rules of the cotton concentration points. This rule allows the buyer $1 reduction on 4O0-pound bale and all 3O0-pound bales are to be refused, unless the buyer chooses to take them at a $3 reduction.
