THE EARTH DO MOVE"

A woman down in the backwoods
country of the Ozarks said she knew
the earth did not turn over, because
the pot she hung on the crane Of her
fire-pot she hung on the crane Of her
fireplace at night was there in the
morning.
A great many persons may have
difficulty in comprehending that the
earth revolves upon its axis once in
each twenty-four hours. spinning
like top. To such persons Mr..
Leon Barrett, in his book, 1.-The
North Star Finder" suggests a sim
pie experiment which will interest
interest anyone who will take the
trouble and two or three hours OF
time to make it.
Up in the northern heavens is the
North Star, plainly visible these
clear summer nights. If you are not
already acquainted with it the way to
find it is to first locate the constella-
ton of the Great Bear, the "Dipper, !"
so-called because the seven stars
composing it form the exact outline
of a dipper and its handle. 1t will
be seen these evenings in the north
west. Having found it, you draw an
imaginary line, beginning at the
star forming the bottom of the bowl
farthest from the handle, out
through the star marking the rim. OF
the dipper opposite the handle, and
you extend that straight line out UNI
til intercepts star brighter than any
near it, and at point due north.
That is the North Star, and, small as
it looks, it is an enormous sun, near
ly one hundred times larger than
our own sun. =,
Sit down some evening where the
view of the northern heavens is un-
obstructed and watch the old earth
whirl around. You will have to stay

Wilson's, Of Ben Hill,
Will Help Win War

Mrs F. H. Wilson, on r. F. D. No.
), is doing>her bit toward the food
conservation which is necessary for a
victorious war at the present and a
prosperous people at all times. Mrs
Wilson is operating a canning outfit
|. 1t is a small home Gamer with
capacity of 80 cans at time. Mrs.
Wilson has already put up 500 cans OF
beans and has 1000 more cans order
ed in which tomatoes and other veg
etables will be stored for future use.
What the Wilson family does not
need will be sold at market prices.
The advantage of Gamer of this
kind is evident after one has seen
it in operation. Its capacity is greater
than the kitchen range and the eli
matte conditions" are much more
comfortable out of doors, where the
apparatus is used, than in a close kit
chen. The operation of canning is
strikingly simple but the product will
last indefinitely.

CONSTABLE SWORD
SHOT NEGRO WHO
RESISTED ARREST

Constable Harry Sword shot An
drew Williams, negro, for whom he
had warrant for cheating and swind-
ling, north of the city, when the
negro attempted to escape after be-
ing informed that he was under arrest.
Constable Sword fired five shots at
the fleeing negro, three of which took
effect in his lower limb, SCATTERING the
bone.
= The wounded negro was brought to
the city and placed in the county jail
where he is receiving medical atten-
ton by the county physician.
Mr.. Sword stated that he regretted
the circumstance very much, that he
shot to intimidate the negro and not
to hit him. The statement is in the
main corroborated by Williams.

| NEGRO SHOT,
THREE BEATEN
IN ILLINOIS

East St. Louis, ILL.,, May 3O.-One
negro was shot and slightly wounded
and two were beaten tonight by a
mob of fifty men who, officials say,
gathered in the outskirts of the city
after the saloons closed. The mob
was dispersed by militiamen and local
police.
A heavy rain and the presence OF
ESQ soldiers of the Illinois National
Guard who patrolled the city kept
down the spirit of the persons inclin-
ed to riot. The outbreak early in the
evening was quelled quickly and was
said to have been an isolated occur
renee. Fewer persons were on the
streets than on Monday and Tues
day.

Hog Cholera in County
About UNI r. Control

1t may be of inter to the people
generally to know more about what
has been done to control the cholera
II the county and the condition at
present.
( through the careless method of a
lew to throw the hogs that die with
Gcholera over for the buzzards and
dogs to scatter the germs over the
county, the cholera had begun to
spread at rapid rate, taking in few
cases almost the entire herd of hogs
before the right method was taken to
check it.
For three weeks now we have been
on double run. to check this dreaded
disease among the hogs. Week be-
lore last we thought certain that the
record was broken by any one man
in the state inoculating hogs when
we reached the 800 mark; but this
record was broken by any one man
inoculated 1854 and a great many of
these weighing three and four humid
red pounds, making it necessary for
two and three injections. This week
bids fair for at least 1000, making
over three thousand hogs inoculated
in three weeks. Some one said he
didn't believe we had that many hogs
in the county, but we can easily show
any man who may be from Missouri
where the hogs are and if he will go
with us and help handle them he will
think there are great many more.
There were several farmers who
had largre herds of hogs numbering
from IS to 200, but NJ. Dickson's herd
would make good showing with any
i'll the state or any other state I be-
lieve, If | remember correctly. we in
oculated 46S for him and at least so
per cent of them were HOGS!
AT the first of the week seventeen
farmers were calling me to go right
out and inoculate his hgs, each want
ing me to go to his place first. This
is explanation enough to those who
must wait until his time comes. I
would gladly do all the work in one
day if could, but l can be in only one
place at a time.
Only very few farmers had cho1-
era in their herds, the others having
the work done for protection. In ev-
cry case where cholera was pronounc-
ed and the hogs were dying every
day, am glad to report that the hogs
have stopped dying.
