OLD MILL AGAIN IN USE
Only Water MIL Now in Operation in
Country Grinds Out Wheat
Flour.

Jeffersonville, Ind. - Whole wheat
-four is being manufactured at mill
in Clarke county which is 100 years
old, and is said to be the only water
mill now in operation In the country.
The mill, which is three miles from
Charlestown, is known as the Tunnel
mill. It is so called because at a point
in Fourteen Mile creek a tunnel has
been cut through solid rock, 81 feet
below the summit of the hill it pene-
trates and the mill race is fed through
this tunnel, five feet wide and six feet
high, to the overshot water wheel
erected in the mill below.
The mill is of frame, so by 35 feet
in size, and the wheel has a diameter
of 90 feet, though 1t is said there is
room for one of 20 feet. The tunnel
is 300 feet long. 1t was built from
1914 to 1917 by John Work, Clarke
county pioneer and mechanical genius,
who with gunpowder and his rude bor-
ing tools, cut two tunnels, one from
each end, that met exactly in the CEN
ter, the work costing him, it is record
ed, $4,000. The mill has run prac i
cally ever since, and the grinding IS
done by big stone buhrs.

voAnme OF poems In which he display
ed such marked ability that he attract
ed the attention of literary critics
throughout Europe.
1t Is upon the "splcyness" OF his
themes that D'Annunzlo's enemies base
their most severe criticisms, but the
esteem In which he is held by the Ital-
Ian public was shown vfvldly In the un-
certain days OF 1915. At this time
Glolltti, the Italian ex-premier, was the
leader of the pro-German element In
Italy.
At a critical time Giollttl visited
Rome and attempted a coup which
would have committed the nation to
active participation in the war on be-
half Of the nations with which she Is
now locked In a life and death strug-
gle. D'Annunzlo's voice, which was
the real voice of italy, was raised
against such a move and so stirred
were the people In his audience that
they rushed enraged to the streets and
threw up barricades behind which they
fought for the preservation of the
country's honor against those who
would betray them to the kaiser and
his intrlguers.
Cries always Forward"
On May 10, 1915, the Italian parlla-
ment declared war and the next day
D'Annunzio issued an impassioned
statement declaring that "Thls day the
people of Italy have once more become
healthy; they have recovered their
strength and their liberty. BE they
few or he they many, one against one,
one against four or one against ten
forward. Always forward to the
charge. Victory is only to those who
believe in victory, who swear by vic

sion, reached the president only a few moments
before the hour of final adjournment ana was
not signed by him. The resolution now passed
contains a few slight changes suggested by Sec
retary of the Interior Lame, and is understood
to be acceptable to the president. 1t PROVIDES
that the inventor shall have opportunity to
demonstrate at his own expense what ne mas
found, and that if it shall prove OF value the
government shall have the free use OF 1t and
that he shall have a special patent to protect
sTch rights in his invention as he shall DE
found to have.
The debate upon the question showed how
the house, and probably humanity as a whole,
is divided into two great groups, one OF which
lis skeptical and c~ontemptous OF everything
new which it does not understand while the
other, remembering all that mankind owes to
the achievements of those who have been looked
upon as dreamers, clings to the beEet that
genius will go on forever plucking the heart out
of mysteries and giving the world still greater
tmarvels than it has ever known. 1t the new
energy is all that the inventor claims, 1T Will be
the most revolutionary and valuable discovery
of modern times, if not Of all time; and 1T IS
manifest from the debate that many congress
men are convinced of Giragossian's scientific
knowledge and good faith. This being the case.
there is certainly no reason why he should not
be permitted to demonstrate il he can that he
has what he claims, an invention OF lncalculable
value for "the utilization of the resources and
industries of the United States, for lessenlng
the expenses of the war and restoring the
losses it has caused"

Liaucr,s DISADVANTAGE.

Lincoln Journal: The liquor PEG
pie have been looking around since
congress submitted national prohibit
ton to note the nature of their great
battle. They find that they have
been put to a decided disadvantage
by the provision in the law which
gives the dry people seven years in
which to PASS their amendment. 1t
is understood now that the acceps
ance Of the amendment by a legisla-
ture makes the matter final so far
as that state is concerned, whereas
the defeat of prohibition in one SEES
sion does not prevent it from being
brought up the very next time the
legislature convenes. This gives the
dry people from three to seven
chances in each state, depending on
the number of times the legislature
meets in the next seven years. The
practical effect of this is that the
drys a put their states safely on
the shelf as soon as they win them
and devote their entire energies to
gaining other legislatures. The vets,
on the other hand, must watch the
entire country for teal some wet
state may wiggle away from them at
the very last moment.
