SOMEONE PASS THE APPLES.
(From the Mountain Messenger, Bar
bourvillc, Ky.)

DcNi 'itSy Ny'I
Way back some six thousand years
ago there was little family in a lit
tie country called Eden, we would
think it was i'm the State of Paradise.
Well, it don't make much difference
just now about the greography of the
country, but what we were about to
say there was little community
there somewhere, and family lived
there. Like all other families, at
first there was no one about the place
but Mr. Adam and Mrs. Eve. And,
did you ever stop to think Of the
happy, simple country life they lived
1t didn't matter how they dressed,
there was no one around but the two
and they had gotten so used to one
another they didn't care snap
when they got up in the morning or
not. You have all read the story.
1t goes on you know and tells about
Mother Eevc getting wise, the snake
put her next, so she ate htc apple !;
she then had Adam to eat one, so it
was just rs soon us she and Adam
passed the apples that she became
alarmed and began to look for her
clothes.
We imagine she became so modest
that she made her dresses just like
our grandmothers made theirs, with
sleeves that came all the way down to
the wrist, with the skirts down to the
ankles, and the neck clear up to the
chin. The earth became full of peo-
pie, the people began to make homes
wherein to dwell; they began soon to
put up factories and make fine silks,
linens, wooden goods, calico and all
other nice things to wear.
Things went along we'll until just a
little while ago, when some wise guy
raised up and started this conserva-
ton fod. Then it WIS that modesty
took the wings of the mist before
the summer sun, the tickle girl found
way by which she could display
some og Gods handiwork and be jus
titled in it. They began to make
evening gowns, these would have been
alright to have worn if they had
worn them in the evening without
truning on the lights, but they would
just. turn them on anyway. Then
they began to make Contingent
gowns; these were the greatest in
vcntions of the age. When woman
wants to come out all she has to do is
to just cough and they are out They
! now cut the dresses two ways only
high ut the bottom and low at the top
Mother Eve would not have been
caught in Il back alley with one of
them on. our grandmothers would not
have one as 4 joke. My Godl why
don't some one pass the apples again

ALLIES CAPTURE FIVE GERMAN
SUBS" AT ONE TIME.

Paris-U-boat So, the German sub
marine which touched ut Newport
more than a year ago and then sank
half dozen ships off Nantucket,
while U. S. destroyers picked up the
survivors, has been captured by the
French. The U-53 is at a certain ma
val port which is also used by the
American fleet.
The big enemy submarine was TAX
en- by French destroyer and two
French minesweepers several weeks
ago. Her commander was the same
smiling, debonair captain who had
charmed American naval officers
when he visited Newport. His name
is Hans Rose.
Now the U-53, under another name
is patrolling every day for the allies.
She has had several brushes with
sister submarines who, recognizing
her lines as Hamburg built, APP
proach her without fear as the U-53
usually runs awash. The French lieu
tenant, commander of the former Ger
man submersible. asserts he is sure
he has sunk two submarines and has
hit several other.
Find Valuable Information.
Valuable information was found by
the French in the captured U-53. In
fact it was so important that an al
he'd conference was held in the naval
port to which she was towed. French,
British and American naval officers
attended it.
One of the results of what was
found in the wireless room of. the
U-53 was the sinking. few DAYS
later, Of five German submarines. rs
announced by Premier Lloyd George
they were sunk with the greatest
2GSe by fotilla of French, British
andAmerican destroyers, which were
gathered at certain spot expressly
for that purpose. The allied patrols
summoned the German U-boats and
the submarines came willingly.
The wir'cs5 equipment of the U-53
was intact when the submersible was
seized end The French boarding party

5S, after running to sea with her
French crew, flashed out call for
a meeting place the following day.
The French operator flashed it in the
peculiar German. code which he had
found in the wireless room.
Next day, couple of hours before
the appointed time, there was good
deal of activity in the neighborhood
Of the place selected. Several allied
submarines were cruising about. A
number of destroyers of the newest

The shot seemed to .galvanize the
entire allied fotilla into immcdiat,
action. Everywhere reports rang Out
and flashes marked where the foul

has pust closed The membership
was i've millions and it was propos-
cd % increase it to fifteen. but the
American people went ut it with Il
vim that overshot the mark. That is
good shooting and shows that the
American people mean business in
this war, and the thing desired the
most is the speedy Trailing of Kaiser
Bill. 1t is Il fact-larger than any
other development Of the war-that
the people have responded to every
request of the nation for money for
all purposes, and that they have made
themselves the big brother of all the
peoples who have been stricken in
the path of the invader and I'LL those
who had no other hope of help. 1t
has been remarkable how much has
been done by this great nation for
humanity in the past few years.

The impression prevails that with
the appointment of new Lord of the
British Navy, an attempt will be
made to engage the German navy in
a great sea fight. Figures published
recently show that the navies of the
Allies, including the United States,
have fighting force nearly five times
as great as that of Germany. This
being the situation there would seem
no good reason why an attempt should
not be made to break up that nest
of troublesome ships and submarine
pests in and about the Keil canal.
When that nest is smashed, the war
will be over.

Waconda, Ore, Jan. "a.
Editor Of The Journal:
In shady hooks, in wildwood, and
along the country lanes, choice wild
flowers bloom unseen, rivaling in beauty
and fragrance, choicest city plants. They
are more sweet than those on the dusty
wayside or exposed to the suns bright
glare.
The same is true of natural talent. If
our Halle Parish, Oregon 's nightingale
was thus hidden, and her ability as a
singer still lost in obscurity, would you
not be glad if l revealed to Oregon its
music treasure?
Kindly give attention then, and |
will tell you Of another. A human flow
er, bedecked with musical soul, a child
with natural musical ability, created
by musical desire is living at WAGON
da. 1t is sweet, golden haired Addie

and ionged for a musical child. The
child of musical desire is the soul of
music, although financial circumstances
have prevented an instrument of her
own. She charms the neighbors where
she is invited to play. If on any occasion

anarchists, was a believer in direct ac
tion in labor controversies; had once
been indicted for attempting dynamit
ing of the property of San Francisco
public utility, but after three trials
was acquitted.
In the spring of 1916, Mooney and
his wife were the leaders in a bitter
and unsuccessful fight to organize the
car men of TIE United Railroads in San
Francisco. Only shortly before the pre-.
paredness parade explosion, it was
sought to connect Mooney with the re.
cent dynamiting Of towers of the Pa
eific Gas and Electric company. In a
word, there can be no doubt that Moon
ey was regarded as a labor agitator of
malevolence by the public utilities of
San Francisco and that he was an es-
pecial object of their opposition.
Mrs. Mooney, a music teacher res
pected by wide circle of pupils, was
sympathetic with his socialist views.
Billings, a youth, touched by the radi-
cal propaganda, was one of Mooney IS
friends. He, too, was believer in " di-
rect action. He had previously been
convicted of carrying explosives on a
passenger car. Weinburg, whose son
was a pupil of Mrs. Mooney, was a jit-
ney bus driver who had occasionally
driven the Moneys. Mooney is the cen
ter of the ease. The other defendants
have significance only because of their
relation to him.
"Five-The utilities against which
Mooney directed his agitation or who
suspected him Of mischieyous activities
undoubtedly sought to get Mooney.
Their activities against him were direct
ed by Swanson, private detective. 1t
was Swanson who had engineered the
which resulted in Moon
ey's prosecution. 1t was Swanson who
was active in the attempts to impli-
cate Mooney in the dynamiting of cleo
tric towers in 1916, attempts which fail
ed, it appears, because Billings and
Weinberg refused offers Of reward
by Swanson to implicate Mooney. Short
ly thereafter the preparedness parade
explosion occurred. Immediately Swan
son takes leading part, acting for the
district attorney and the police in the
Of the crime. Within four
days, under Swanson s leadership, the
arrest Of Mooney and the others is
made.
"Six-Instead Of an ordinary crimin-
al case, or even a case of extraordin-
ary interest, there thus energies ele-
ments of a clash of forces of wide sig

ity long in the grip of bitter labor strug- !
gle and outraged by peculiarly wicked
murders. Accusation is made against
group whose leader has been widely as
sociated with views which justify vio-
lence, at least in industrial conflict,
The public mind was therefore easily !
to belief in the guilt of the |
accused. An attitude of passion was
by all the arts of modern
journalism. 1t is not surprising then
that Billings and Mooney were tried in
an impregnating atmosphere of guilt. |
