NEW HOPE

New Hope, Sept. 4.-We are again
having some real summer days, after
having such fall like days, and, too,
have had an abundance of rain over
most all sections Friday and Sunday.
The report of some sections was very
heavy and caused some of the streams
to rise.
The writer visited at the home O.,
Mr.. and Mrs. Rufus Brewington Sun
day in the community near the Fau-
cett school house. they have fine
crops in that community and at the
school house have a fine Sunday school
superintended by Mr.. Carson Davis
This week at the school house there
will be week series of protracted
meetings. We wish for much good
and success with this Sunday school
and meeting that there will be much
good derived.
Our community was shocked yes
terday by the sad news of the death
of Mr.. ]. Spears. His death was so
sudden. He died in hospital at Spar
tanburg, and had only been there for
very short time. He was the son
of Mr.. and Mrs. JOSH Spears of
Jonesville who used to live in our
community. We can't realize how a
person in such fine looking health that
was young and strong to be taken,
but as the words were spoken at his
funeral that we don't understand and
can't see why God should choose those
that are young. We wonder but don't
understand how our friends are taken
from US until the veil shall have been
lifted and then we will know and
understand. This friends was always
known to have such a cheerful dispo-
sition and was liked by everybody. In
this sad hour of bereavement our COM
munity has much sympathy for the be-
reaved home.
Just at this writing the news of
the death of Mrs. Fanny Carter passed
away this morning at the home of her
son, Mr.. J. S. Carter, at which place
she had been sick for sometime. Her
remains will be taken to Gilead to-
morrow for burial.

AMERICANS AND FRENCH
USE DIFFERENT GREETINGS

American Field Headquarters, Aug.
10. (By MaiD-American soldiers
will have to stand for whiskery kisses,
tinged with a trace of cognac-or the
French poilu will have to learn to
shake hands if there is to be any uni
form kind of greeting over here in
France.
The Poilu kisses his comrade, some
times on both cheeks, to show his ad-
miration.
The American trooper somehow
prefers the old hand-clasp with a
firm pump-handle movement.
A war reporter who has been kissed
by whiskered French soldier, allows
that he would rather shake hands if
he meets many more.

LEMONS WHITEN AND
BEAUTIFY THE SKIN
Make This Beauty Lotion Cheaply for
Your Face, Neck, Arm and Hands.

At the cost of a small jar of ordi-
nary cold cream one can prepare a
full quarter pint of the most wonder
full lemon skin softener and COM
plexion beautifier, by squeezing the
juice of two fresh lemons into bot
tie containing three ounces of orch
ard white. Care should be taken to
strain the juice through a fine cloth
so no lemon pulp gets in, then this To-
tion will keep fresh for months. Ev-
cry woman knows that lemon juice
is used to bleach and remove such
blemishes as freckles, sallowness and
tan and is the ideal skin softener,
whitener and beautifier.
Just try it! Get three ounces of
orchard white at any drug store and
two lemons from the grocer and, make
up quarter pint of this sweetly fra
grant lemon lotion and massage it
daily into the face, neck, arms and
hands. 1t is marvellous to smoother
rough, red hands.

The agreement reads differently

Mr. Doherty scanned the agreement.

NO SAVAGES GO CRAZY
DIR. BiddIe Says That Insanity Is a
Child of Civilization.

Insanity is the child of civilization,
said DIR. T. C. Biddle, superintendent
of the state hospital for the insane,
in his talk last night before the cur
rent Topic club. Indians were never
insane and none of the savages IN
Africa are afflicted. Even in the days
of slavery insanity was practically un-
known to the negro. However, Mr..
Biddle points out, at the present time
there are as many insane Indians in
Oklahoma as there are white people.
This he attributes to attempted civil
ization. According to figures from the
last census, Mr.. Biddle found that in
sanity is on the increase.
To look after patients after they are
discharged from the hospitals is the
sole purpose of many organizations in
the more progressive states. This
plan, Mr.. Biddle thinks. is the most
modern step taken by organized
bodies. He also explained the psyche
pathic hospitals which take the af-
flicted in charge before insanity has
developed and a cure is attempted.
Many patients are discharged from
these institutions each year that would
ordinarily be condemned to an asylum.
There are three such hospitals in the
United States at present, one at Ann
Arbor. Michigan; another at Baltimore
and the third at Boston.
Before DR.. Biddle gave his talk, Sid
ney Smith sang a solo, IA Fleeing
Hour" His accompaniment was
played by Theodore Mueller.

In DASH FOR LIBERTY
Seven informed Germans Escape But
Are Soon Recaptured.

Philadelphia, March 2G.-A dash
for liberty by seven members of the
crews of the German auxiliary cruis-
ers Kronprinz Wilhelm and Prinz
Eitel Friedrich interned at the Phila-
delphia navy yard was frustrated last
night by marines and policemen
guarding the yard. Four of the Ger
mans were captured while attempt
ing to swim the back channel while
the other three were caught in the
meadows after swimming the icy wat
ers of the channel.
The attempted escape was discover
ed BY a sentry on duty near the in
termed raiders. He Immediately fired
a warning shot and attachments of
marines were hurried to all parts of
the government reservation Calls
were sent to the police authorities for
assistance and every police station was
notified to arrest all men found in
wet clothing.
Meanwhile powerful searchlights
from the cruiser Salem were turned
u on the channel and revealed the
fugitives swimming desperately for
freedom. Several shots were fired over
their heads. Four of them turned and
swan back to the sea wall, surrender
! inc3 without resistance.
The other three managed to reach
the marshes and were captured a few
minutes later by mounted police More
! than $500 in United States currency
was found on two of the Germans cap
tured by the police.
Orders have been issued by the gov
eminent for the transfer of the 750
/ men comprising the crews of the in
termed ships to Forts Oglethorpe and
! Mcpherson. The transfer is expected
later this week.

MOBILIZE in KANSAS
Fort Riley May Be Used as Central
Army Point If War Comes.

Troops from a number of western
states may be modified at Fort Riley
according to reports received from
Washington. The war department
has already sought information con-
corning the number of men who might
be cared for at the Kansas fort. Fol
lowing announcement that mobiliza-
ton grounds in several states were
inadequate, it is believed the govern
ment may use Riley a central
point
No orders have been received by
Charles L. Martin, adjutant general
indicating an Immediate order for
mobiliza ton of the Kansas guards
men. Yet everything is in readiness
for immediate action. Every guard
officer has his men ready and in
scores of cases in the state guards
men are wearing their uniforms in
anticipation of a hurry call.
Clerks and stenographerS in the ad-
jutant generals office have been busy
with the distribution of funds for the
guardsmen. A special act of the state
legislature appropriated S172,000 to
members of the national guards in
this state as extra pay for their serv-
ices on the Mexican border. In addi-
ton to the distribution of this fund,
employees in General Martins office
are caring for the many shipments of
additional equipment. More than
100000 worth of new equipment is
to be received by the state guard off,

1921 as cleanup week. Civic
organizations, women's clubs. fire de-
partments, local officials and citizens

Hoppers Invade
Truck Gardens:
Here's Remedy
MissOula patriots" in Dan
ger; Campbell Gives Pois-
on Formula.

Scores Of truck gardens in south
Missoula are in danger of destruction
by rlasshoppers.
People living On the south outskirts
of the city reported yesterday that the
heat had driven sWarms of hoprcrs
from the dry prairie south of town in
to their green gardens. Unless action
against the hoppers Is taken immc-
diatcly. ii is said. many gardens win be
destroyed.
The Muscular got in touch with
County .Aerieulturist J. r. Campbell,
who is touring the reservation this
week and secured the following poison
formula from him:
Mix IS pounds Of bran with one
pound Of white arsenic. In another
vessel mix the around-up pulp and
juice Of six lemons with half a
gallon Of sorghum moIasses and
two and one-haIf gallons Of water.
Pour the second mixture slowly in
to the bran and arsenic, stirring
It steadily.
This mixture will suffice for two
acres, and should not be spread more
thickly than that. Spread thinly it kills
the srasshoppers without endangcrinS
other creatures. Spread more thickly it
is dangerous even to cattle.
The poison should be spread at
O'Clock in the evening. or a little later.
The grasshopper Will abandon other
food to get to it.
The grasshopper will not be tempt
ed, however. if corn syrup is used III
place of the rnolasses. Common
sorghum molasseS should be used. Be
careful too. says Mr. Campbell, to get
white arsenic for the poison.
