for bargains even in islands. Then,
we might purchase the Northern half
of Mexico, for it is only an affair of
the passing OF time, when the United
States will be compelled to assume
control of the tottering country,
which is in dying condition. The
sale would have to be ratified by the
general voters Of that troubled land,
for there is no legal or accredited
ruler. Wilson's man Friday Car
rama could not be dealt with as
authority, since he Is only one of the
mob Of anarchists who are claiming
to be president OF that so-called re-
public. The claim of Carranza re-
minds one Of Aguinaldo OF the Phili-
plan conquest. And in great weak

claim Of Aguinaldo and called him the

Rural land values may be classed
chiefly into two classes. These are
the producing value and the CONNER
cial value. Another value, unseen
and but little recognized in the
change Of ownership is that one seri-
GUS truth that the best quality OF land
values is that Of being q permanent
home. After owning farm home for
a score Of years or longer, the farmer
will make a mistake in selling the
dear old homestead. Seventy-fve per-
cent make the greatest blunder OF
their lives when they sell. Remem-
Der that with all the lands now being
held in exclusive ownership, it is not
easy to secure another farm home
Just suitable for the family. Follow
ing the sale of the old home, there
are too many regrets and too much
sorrow. Be exceedingly careful in
this subject.
The American eagle believes in war
and peace. IN equal values. In its
right talon the eagle grasps the olive
branch of thirteen leaves, while in
the other talon are held cluster of
arrows, thirteen, both in honor of the
thirteen colonies. You may have
either peace or war. When the Roman
commissioners went over to Garth
age, the chief spokesman would ex-
claim: Here in the folds of my OFF,
cial robe, carry the issues Of peace
and war. Which will you accept"
Then the Carthaginians would reply
War" The Roman answer was:
well, then we pour out war upon
YOU" Similar in tone the American
eagle would declare. In order to have
peace, the expedient of war has to
be used. Strange it is that about all

All Imaginable subjects to the dear
public. 1t is usually excellent infor-

do not profit by 1t, of course, Uncle
Sam cannot be held responsible for
that. He has done his duty. Note,
for instance, the following: !.
! Sunstroke.
The following directions for pre-
venting and treating sunstroke are
sent out by the United States public
health service:
Prolonged exposure to bot sun, es-
pectally in high degree Of humidity,
or in cases OF severe physical exer-
ton. may cause sunstroks.
Drinking of alcoholic liquors before
exertion in the sun is apt 10 result In
sunstroke. Strong drink is probably
the most common predisposing factor
in sunstroke.
Prevention consists in avoiding ex-
posure to hot sun at midday. Wear
light clothing and light headgear
with space above for ventilation.
Avoid alcohol.
Symptoms Of sunstroke preceding
the attack are pain and fu1lness in
the head, with feeling of oppres-
sion. Following this comes complete
insensibility. The face is red, pupils
dilated, the skin hot, with no perspi-
ration. The breathing is labored and
signing; the pulse slow and full.
Treatment consists in reducing the
temperature. Send for a doctor, and
pending his arrival remove the
patient to shady, cool place. Loosen
and remove superfluous clothing.
Apply cold water, or ice to the head,
neck. chest and arm pits.
When consciousness returns, the
patient may be allowed to dri.,k eool
water freely. Do not attemp: to giye
stimulants The doctor will attend to
that il necessary when he arrives.
One may often prevent sunstroke
upon feeling the first symptoms by
stopping all exertion. finding Q shady,
cool place. lying down and bathing
face, hands and chest in cold water
and drinking freely Of cool (not ice)
water.

JUDGE SMITH ASKED
TO RAISE BOND ON
INJUNCTION SUIT
Board of Revenue Readver-
tises for Bids to Construct
Warrior Highway on
About Same Terms

A resolution to again advertise for
Nichols Fishtrap highway to the War
| rior river was passed by the board
of revenue yesterday morning. DR.. r.
F. Lovelady and Rufe Bivens voted
| mo"
Another resolution was passed by
the board of revenue requesting that
Judge c. B. Smith raise the bond for
! an appeal on his decision dissolving
/ the temporary injunction granted E
.. Hyche, a court bailiff of BESSIE
mer from $4,000 to $4,000 and to mod
ify the injunction in order to allow the
working of county convicts on the
Nichols Fishtrap road as on the Tay-
lors Ferry road, now under construc-
ton.
The resolution to again advertise for
bids contained the same specifications
as the resolution already on record
with the exception that the interest
charges shall not exceed " per cent
on the county warrants issued in pay
ment for the construction of the road
Following is the resolution request
| ing the raising of the bond and the
modification of the injunction.
Whereas, the cost to the county
which will result from delay in let
ting the contract or otherwise pro-
ceeding with the work under the res
| buttons of the board of revenue OF
, Jefferson county for the construction
of the Fishtrap road will be in
!
mated by the county engineer at not
less than ten (1O) per cent of the
contract price, and resulting from the
RAPIDLY inceasing market price oi
materials and the price of labor as
shown by the report of the county en-
| gineer filed today; and,
| Whereas, attorneys for the com.
| plainant Hyche have given out pub
| lie statements to the effect that the
injunction was sued out solely for the
/ purpose of delay and that they have
| achieved their object in securing g
nominal bond on which the injunction
| could be reinstated, thereby making
| it apparent that the injunction was Sc
cured on Misrepresentation and in ba6
faith therefore
BE it resolved by the board OF
| revenue of Jefferson county that the
| county attorney is dlrected TO apply
to the court Immediately for modi-
| fication of it's order increasing the
| amount of said bond, so as to pro.
| 'ect the county from the probahi'
damage which it will sustain, and re-
| spectfully suggesting to the court that
| in our opinion, a bond of not less thar
twenty five thousands dollars (s25,000,
is reasonable and necessary in the
| premises.
BE it further resolved, that the
| county attorney is further requested
| to ask that said injunction be modi
! fled so that, even if reinstated, pend
ing an appeal, the board of revenue
| of Jefferson county will not be re
strained from entering on the con
| struction of the Fishtrap road witt
the county forces, acquiring grants
of right of way therefor, advertising
! for bids, ETC.; in short, to be free tt
proceed with the work on the Fish
trap road in the same manner tina
| the work is proceeding on the Tay

nue. of Jefferson county determines
| that it is proper so to proceed"
