Sixth Time Capital Has Been
Wrecked by Volcano Shock.
New York Firm Gets Bankers
Message "An Well"
DELUGE LAVA, BOILING WATER
Extent of Life Loss Probably
Was Not Very Great.
Believe 1t Worse in Suburban
Towns Than in Capital.

New York, June Slope. based on
cables received since the first shock
of the disaster, that the earthquake
which wrecked the city of San Saliva
dor and surrounding towns for the
sixth time in their history. did not take
heavy toll of life, was expressed by
local agents of San Salvador firms
here today.
Since receipt of the message "All
WELL" from Day & Bloom, San Saliva
dor bankers, by Bloom Brothers, their
fiscal agents here, no additional word
has been received here.
However, reports from the capital
of the little republic indicate that
heavy loss of life may have been suf-
fered in the provincial towns, while
the loss in San Salvador itself was
practically confined to property.
Bloom Brothers received their "All
we'll message shortly after midnight
today and have heard nothing since.
A report from San Miguel declared
only 100 houses were left standing in
San Salvador Heavy earthquakes, It
said, were followed by deluge of lava
and boiling water from the group of
volcanoes which f1anks the city.
Property Loss Stupendous.
The largest of the volcanoes is San
Ana and San Miguel. In the midst
of the group also lies the volcanic lake
of Ilopanga. A volcanic island SO feet
high stands in the center of this lake
| According to Manuel Peralta, sec

consulate here, this lake rises and falls
as much as fc-ty feet at time. The
| last time it dropped, he said, so many
| thousands of fish lay dead on its banks
that the population had to turn out
enmasse and bury them to avoid a
pestilence.
The American Museum of National
History seismograph record today
showed that the earthquake started
with a short, severe shock, followed
by lesser tremors that gradually died

| This is the sixth time San Salvador
has been wholly or partially wrecked
by earthquakes or volcanic eruptions.

1894, 1853, 1913, 1854 and 1873.

TAX EVERY MOTOR CAR
Senate Finance Committee Favors
Levy Based on Original Price.

Washington, June 9.-The senate
finance committee today adopted Sena-

per cent on the original selling price
of automobiles to be paid by owners
as the basis of a new schedule of tax

tax previously agreed upon. The
proposed tax on confectionery was
wholly abandoned.
The l per cent tax on automobiles
will raise much less revenue than esu-

by the committee, from which about
$4,000 5000 was expected.

J. West Goodwin OF Company l, Six

and his comrades went to war In 1861.
According to Private Goodwin's ac-
count he and his fellow enlisted men
went to war on fiat cars. locating them
selves as they could amid their wagons
and guns, and taking the smoke and
cinders and weather as they came The
commissioned officers were provided
with passenger coaches lighted with
one candle each. The regiment, trav-

Learn to Use Both Hands.

So far as many Of the victims OF
the war are concerned, 1t would GER
tainly seem that ambidexterity would
have been a blessing. remarks the
Medical Record. A man who can use
both hands In his work is much less
helpless when he Is disabled than one
who can use only his right hand.
When a man has been bereft OF his
right arm and has to earn his living,
the question Is raised In the VOCATION
al homes whether to fit him with an
artificial hand and teach him to use
this or train him in the use Of his left
hand. A great deal Of success has
been attained already In the training
of disabled soldiers in the use Of the
left hand, and unless the objections
brought against this can be sustained
by more conclusive evidence than any
that has yet been brought forward 1t
would seem to be decidedly preferable
in the majority Of cases to train the
left hand than to make the cripple de-
pendent upon an artificial hand.

SENTENCE THAT WILL LIVE.

There is single sentence in the
presidents note which deserves es-
pecial reading. 1t should be studied
word by word by all who are trying
to COR prehend what is going on in
this war. 1t should be underscored in
all wartime scrap-books. 1t should
even be committed to memory by all
who would stay their souls in
strength for facing hard duties due to
the war. Si.gularly free from blus-
ter, it is yet charged with thunderous
truths and terrific flashes of pas
sion Z We give it special setting to
help fix attention upon it.
"The object of this war it to de-
liver the free people of the world
from the menace and the actual pow
er of vast military establishment
controlled by an irresponsible gov
eminent, which, having secretly
planned to dominate the world, pro-
ceeded to cary ttne plan out without
regard either to the sacred obhga-
lions of treaty or the long established
practices and the long-cherished
principles of international action and
honor; which chose its own time for
the war; delivered it's blow fiercely
and suddenly; stopped at no barrier,
either of law or of mercy; swept a
whole continent within the tide of
blood-not the blood of soldiers on
y, but the blood of innocent women
and children also, and of the helpless
poor-and now stands baked but
rot defeated, the enemy of four
fifthS of the world"
This is probably the most majestic
indictment yet penned concerning
the world war. This sentence, we
venture to think, will be conned and
quoted by generations to come; for
the days through which we are living
will draw the enlightened eyes of the
future to the end of humanity's
struggles. the Boston Herald.

A PRAYER FOR SOLDIERS.

Mrs. Annie Taylor has received an
account of the death of her brother
in-law, Sergeant E. f. Riddell, who
died in France on his way home.
Just before leaving for the front ne
had attended with his wife church
service in London at which the fol-
lowing petition for absent Friends"
had been usesd. 1t is so appropriate
for our own soldiers we reproduce it.
Holy Father in thy mercy
Hear our anxious prayer,
Keep our loved ones, now far absent
Meath Thy care.
Jesus Savior, let thy presence
Be their light and guide
Keep, oh keep them in their weakness
: At thy side.
When in sorrow, when in danger,
When in loneliness,
In Thy love look down and comfort
Their distress.
May the joy of Thy salvation
Be their strength and stay
May they love and may they praise
Thee
Day by day.
Holy spirit, let Thy teaching
Sanctify their life
Send Thy grace that they may con-
quer
In the strife.
Father, Son and Holy Spirit
God the One in Three
Bless them, guide them, save them,
keep them
Near to Thee.

IN SOUTH WEST GEORGIA.

Mrs. S. ID. Rambo has recently
spent several weeks in Early county
and visited neighboring counties. She
reports many changes, one being that
former waste places almost without
inhabitants are now being filled with
homes and school-houses and cult
waited farms. Mr.. c. j. Rambo has
a peanut oil mill at Edison, which is
in the Bell-weevil sesction, and last
spring he furnished a great many
farmers with seed peanuts promis-
ing to buy their crops. The price
has more than doubled in two, years.
The peanuts are first cleansed by
friction and blasts of air then fed
into the mills. The oil comes out
on one side and the pressed shells
on the other and they are ground
into meal and used for stock feed.
The oil is sent to be refined and is
used in various ways. Mrs. Rambo
has tried combining it with cream be
fore churning but finds the butter
resulting must be kept very cold or
the oil will separate from the cream.
AS the oil is tasteless when highly re-
fined it increases the butter greatly
without affecting the flavor Be-
side Mr.. Rambo's there are peanut
oil mills in Arlington and Coleman.
The raising of cattle is also increas-
ing immensely and many big silos
have been built in the Southwestern
counties.
Mrs. Rambo also visited in Early
County great earthen mound 100
feet high with big trees growing on
top of it and with a deep trench ex-
tending from it to river. On each
side of the big mound there were
three small ones at equal distances
apart. These mounds are supposed
to have been made by the Indians
but no one knows why. They have
been described in historical books
