GREAT DAY FOR LOCAL PYTHlAN

When Rathbone, back in 1859. at a
time when the nation was torn by
civil war, caught the inspiration for
the great Pythian brotherhood, he
huilded vastly greater than he he'd
hoped for. Coming at time when

ments of great peace move and it
grew rapidly and when the war clouds
drifted away. recruits from both of
the contending forces ilocked to its
standards and today more than a mil.
lion of American citizens are bound
to each other through the trinity of
friendship charity and benevolence!
The order has played its part in the
lives of countless men, women and
children. 1t is founded on the cardinal

If Germany were able 10 break down
the marine merchant service Of the
Entente. that would not improbably
be followed by negotiations for peace.
If the war in Europe were under such
circumstances all at once to collapse.
we would be left single handed and
face TO face with Germany. All prob

without regard to any help other ma
tons might give US. We must be pre-
pared to deal with this possibility.
Not that we say chat any such thing
is likely to happen. 1t is possibility
and no more than that.
Thus far we are not at war with
Germany. And We may never be at
war with her.
Iut we should be so well prepared
that whether Germany or the En-
teate wins or loses will not be a lead
ing factor in the question as affecting
ourselves.
If, this year. Germany were decis-

Alertness to the vital significance of
the coming six months is manifest in

WHERE SEASONS ARE MIXED
Caves Exist in United States in Which
Ice Freezes in Summer and
ThaWs in Winter.

There are several cases in the Unit,
become confused as to the seasons, ac-
cording to Popular Science Monthly.
During the late spring and sum-
mer ice forms and freezing temporal
ture prevails, but as winter comes on
the interior of the caves becomes mild
er, the ice gradually melts and kind
of subdued summer sets in under
ground.
One of these peculiar caves is to be
found at Coudersport, Pa, and one at
DEBORAH, Iowa. The superstitious
among the residents of those localities
give. the caves a wide berth and look
with suspicion upon any one daring
enough to attempt to investigate them.
Edwin S. Balch of Philadelphia, who
has made study of the subterranean
ice mines, as they are called, states
that according to the theory evolved
by investigators the formation of the
caverns is such that the cold air of
winter does not penetrate and settle in
them until late in the spring at the
time when the water from spring
thaws is seeping through the walls
and roof. This water meeting the cold
air freezes and stays frozen all sum-
mer until, as the fall season ap-
proaches, the warm summer air at last
finds its way into the cave and melts
the ice.
