the city, even with German aid,
will lower their confidence in
Teuton prowess and perhaps
make them ready for a separ-
ate peace with the allies.
The capture of Jerusalem
will become known through
out Germany and will not
strengthen the kaiser's insane
claim that he is the co-partner
of God, etc, etc. 1t will en-
courage the allied soldiers who
fight with determination be-
cause of the deep feeling that
they battle for humanity and
Justice, with civilization itself
dependent upon the triumph of
Wilhelm's foes. They will see
in the taking of Jerusalem a
sign of triumph for those who
fight to make the world safe
for nations that place stress on
such Christlike qualities as
sympathy for those who suffer
and fair play towards neigh
bors whether they be helpless

The war is approaching a

wide interest and astouishment
that anti-liberU loan speeches

the world from the degradati-

Only few weeks ago the Port

from the streets of Pendleton.
As an upshot a few weeks
later two Portland girls, re

Do the people of Portland
wish their institution used for
such purposes? Are they
proud that they gave aid and

PORTRAIT
OF CHRIST FOUND
Also of the Twelve Apostles-Were
Dug Up by Arabs From the
Ruins of Antioch.

NEW YORK.-Portraits of Christ
and the Apostles which, it is believed,
may be authentic are on an old chal-
ice dug up from the ruins of Antioch
and now in the possession of firm
of art dealers in this city, it became
known tonight.
The chalice, according to the deal
ers, came directly to them from the
hands of the excavators in 1910.
1t can be dated with certainty to
the second half of the first century,
A. D., says Dr. Gustavus A. Eisen.
the archaeologist, who is now in this
country and who has made a prelim-
mary report upon it in The Ameri-
can Journal of Archaeology. It was
found by Arabs digging a well in An
tioch on the Arontes in Syria. At
the depth of many meters they came
upon underground chambers, which
contained the treasure.
1t is probable, say experts, that the
chalice is a relic of the Cathedral
erected in Antioch by Constantine,
the Great, after his removal of the
capital of his empire to Constantine
pie. This Antioch church was in
tended to be the center of Christian
worship In the East, and remained
standing until the year 500, when,
during an assemblage of 100000
Christians the city was levelled by
an earthquake so disastrous that one
building could not be distinguished
from another among the ruins.

AN ALABAMA NEGRO
DEFEATS BOIL WEEvIL
CULTIVATED TWO HUNDRED
AND FIFTY ACRES AND NOT
A BUG WAS IN 1T.

According to reports from Ala
bama negro of that state has dis
covered method of combating the
boil weevil, and has succeeded in
raising cotton which is not bothered
in the slightest by the pest. If these
reports are true, the negro's method
deserves investigation, and a thor
ough test as to its efficiency The
Montgomery Advertiser describes the
method as follows:
"John McDufie, a negro planter
six miles east of the city, has worked
out novel and seemingly certain
means of eradicating the boil weevil.
He had $50 acres of the finest cotton
in the county and not a single weevil
was ever found in it. On being ask
ed how he killed them, he said he
did not kill them, but prevents their
coming to his cotton. McDuffie is an
intelligent man, and originated the
method of running them away him
self. If it is a fact, as is claimed, he
has found the long-sought method of
preventing the waste of millions of
dollars in the South through the raw
ages of the pest
''The method is simple. McDuffie
takes crude oil, tar and camphor
gum. He puts these in a pot and
bOils them. With sufficient oil in the
mixture to make it liquid, he vets
common croker sacks in the mixture,
then squeezes them as dry as he
thinks necessary. He says if too
much of the mixture is used it will
kill the young cotton. The wet sacks
are fastened by drag-stick attached
to the plow-beam. Each week the
crop is plowed and dragged over with
these saturated sacks, both sides of
the cotton getting touch from the
fumes of the mixture. On going down
one side the sack touches lightly one
side, and when the pillow returns it
touches the other side.
This method costs about Is cents
an acre, McDuffie says. He says he
used the method with success in 1915,
and that he got five more bales per
horse last year by having the weevils
out of the way. If it is a success,
and it seemingly is, this negro has
solved a problem that has confronted
the best brains in the South for the
past ten years"

WILD HORSES
WERE TOO WILD
Jury Finds Nine Nebraska Swindlers
Guilty-Even Defendants Ad-
mitted They Were Wild.

The federal jury sitting in Omaha,
Neb., found guilty eight of the elev-
en- defendants in the wild horse"
cases. The judge dismissed one de-
PENDANT and two were found not gull
ty. Evidence showed that the United
States Livestock Company, organized
to buy and sell wild horses, disposed
OF mustangs supposed to roam the
government range in Coconino coun-
ty, ArlZ., sometimes as wild horses
and sometimes as an imported breed
of Percherons. The range was sup
posed by purchasers to be cluttered
with horses, but none ever captured
a. sound animal. The swindle, it is
estimated, cost residents of the Uni
ted States over $1,000,000.
While on the stand witnesses for
the defense admitted that they never
had captured a wild horse but that
they had seen great herds. Plaintiffs,
OF whom there were more than 100,
declared that from mountain tops
even with field glasses they could
see no horses. The jury decided thai
such horses were all too wild to sell
and found for the government.

TERRELL RECEIVES
$500 GALLONS BOOZE
SHIPMENTS SINCE THE NEW
LAW WENT INTO EFFECT
HAVE BEEN LARGE.

Since the middle of last August
the ordinary's record shows that
there has been 1908 shipments of
liquor, either by express or freight,
into Terrell county. Of these ship
ments there is hardly an instance
when the full amount, two quarts,
was not ordered; so this county,
through Dawson, Parrot, Bronwood,
Sasser and Graves, has received
1929 gallons of joy juice, the vast
majority of which was whiskey.
The month of December, "the
Christmas supply" carried the great
est number of shipments, 1902 in
all, while October holds the second
place with 4,002 shipments.
Dawson, getting 8,210 shipments,
received 50 per cent of the total for
the county, Bronwood coming sec

DEERING HAS ROYAL
HONE IN FLORIDA
HARVESTER MAGNATE BUILDS
MANSION AT COST OF TEN
MILLION DOLLARS.

The stately palace of James Deer
ing, the silent man of the Interna-
tional Harvester Company, on the
banks of Biscayne bay, in Florida,
was dedicated during the holiday
season. The proud masonry, which
cost 100000, stands as a rebuke
to those who clamor that romance
has no partnership with the making
of millions. There is no home in the
United States like this estate Of
James Deering. 1t hanks back three
centuries for its architectural model
to the ancient Venetian and Roman
villas of the Rezzinco period. The
broad arces which surround this mas
sive masonry are $7,000,000 set
ting to display the Deering residen-
tial gem.
Paul Chain, who convinced Deer
ing that Florida possesses all the
beauties and charms of Italy, design
ed the Deering mansion. He also
transformed the landscape so that it
bears a strong resemblance to villas
in Italy.
Palace Is About Square.
The Deering palace occupies about
10000 square feet and is almost
square. The halls surround court
room 60 feet square. Thirty-four
rooms have been constructed, all de-
voted to the use of the owner and his
family, and all displaying artistic CO.
herence and personal comfort. Parts
of the building are two stories high,
while none is taller than three
stories.
The interior of this modern palace
is regal. Art collectors for four
years rambled among the galleries of
Italy, here and there finding some
rare painting that was transported to
America to grace this splendid pile
erected by the genii of harvester
made millions.
The vista from the country house
is superb. The five acres roll away
to an artificial lagoon that occupies
three acres. Long walks built of
stone, and fashioned in the architec-
ture of the Seventeenth century,
stretch here and there in the wood
land that is filled with live oaks and
cypress, the evergreens to be found
in Southern Italy The semi-tropi-
cal vegetation Of the same cline
abounds here, while playing foun-
tains buried in palms and exotics
make a wonderful spectacle. Not
false note has been struck to keep
the illusion of an ancient Italian villa
unimpaired.
