From Russian of high birth who
was lady-in-waiting to the cZarina
of Russia, are learned some particu-
lars Of the events which Immediately
preceded and followed the ears ahdi-
cation which are not generally known.
The woman lost all she possessed in
the upheaval of Russia and is now
connected with the American Red
Cross. The czarina banished her
from court before the revolution be-
cause her husband, who was il the
diplomatic service, had incurred the
imperial diSpleasure.
The lady in question says that the
car and cZarina were warned of their
danger some weeks before the revolu-
ton started. In particular did Prin-
cess Vasiltchioff, member of the I'M
perial court, and wife of q prominent
member of the council of the empire,
warn Ler. The princess is good Rus
sian patriot, and, like many others,
was appalled, at the signs of coming
anarchy.
So much alarmed was she that she
wrote a personal letter to the cZarina,
telling her that if she wished to save
Russia and her own family she must
dismiss Rasputin and the Germans at
court and see that the army had am
munitiOn.

SWEDEN WANTS TO
ANNEX ISLANDS NOW

STOCKHOLM, Feb 18-Proposals for
the annexation of the Aland Islands
to Sweden continue topic of discus
sion in political circles here. Coun-
sells of moderation seem to have the
upper hand, and even the pro-German
newspapers generally insist that the
Alands can not be occupied without
the preliminary assent of Finland,
though it would be Inconsistent, .
says the Dagblad, "for the Firms to
refuse this if the islanders expressed
a wish for reunion with Sweden"
1t appears, however, that steps in
this direction by Sweden would not
be welcomed in Finland, and that ev'
en- the Swedish section of the popu,
lation of Finland opposed the cession
of the islands.

CONVICT LEAPS THRU

Vel cages at Flint river about two
moths ago making good his escape,
neTa stopping until he thought him
soIfsssafe from discovery was appre-
hen5d at Hartford. Conn. Warden
sla9e was NOTICED of the Negroes pres
encs there and left, as soon as the
legal proceedings necessary for re
turning him could he arranged, to
bring him back. The warden had no
din@lty in locating him and was wei
on age way back to Dooly with him
wheu Lester decided to take another
des perate chance for liberty They
wer6s aboard fast train, nearing
SalisBury, N. C., when the negro, who
vas ehandcuffed and sitting in the
emoker with the warden, burst out the
glasssWindow and leaped through the
windsy to the ground. If he escaped
with ais lie it was miraculous as the
train was going at full speed, there is
a slight possfBIfty, however, that the
deep snow which covered the ground,
might have prevented the jump from
proving fatal Warden Slade left the
train at the next station and wired
authorities to look out for Lester dead
or alive. Nothing has been heard FROM
him yet.
The negro was up for six months
for disturbing divine worship and had
several other charges against him for
which he was to be tried. He is said
to have left two wives in this county
to mourn his departure and another
in Connecticut, whom he had annexed

route to that "haven of happiness" or
so thought to be by most Southern
negroes, from which he did not hope

OLD VOLCANO COMES
TO LIFE ONCE MORE

SAN JOSE, C. R., Feb 1S - The
Irazu volcano, the largest and highest
in Costa RIGA, awakened and began
new period of violent activity af-
ter nearly two centuries of quiet
ness
The previous remarkable eruption
of this volcano took place in 1923,
when Costa RIGA was the poorest of
the colonies nuder the Crown of
Spain. During that year the Irazu
was in activity throughout the whole
year, emitting huge quantities of
ashes, cinders, smoke, vapor and
gases, and the manifestation was fol
lowed by earthquakes. Then came a
period of long rest. 1t fell into a
deep slumber for nearly two hun
bred years.
Now it has awakened again and is
pouring out, without interruption, tor
rents of vapor, sublimates and ashes.
cinders and volcanic debris which,
floating in the air and carried by air
currents, have reached places %
miles distant from the crater.
At the foot of this volcano lies the
historical city of Carriage, three times
destroyed by the colossus and as Of
ten rebuilt by her inhabitants. Dur
Jig the present crisis, Carriage has
suffered no harm, as her inhabitants,
wiser through experience have re,
built the city earthquake proof; and
the emissions of the volcano have not
reached Carriage, owing to the heavy
winds prevailing and which have
blown them towards the valley of ash
Jose. Thousands of persons have
visited the summit of the mountain
range to see the two oceans, and the
gigantic column of smoke and gasses
aiming to the sky. -.

feet above the sea level and about

WILL TALK ON THE
BATTLE AT VERDUN

ATLANTA, Ga, FEBRUARY 16.-How
it feels to go up under hell of an
artillery fire live the Germans pour
ed on Verdun will be told to two At
lanta audiences next Sunday by Ser
geant eVrne Marshall an Iowa editor
who served in the French ambulance
corps and the French army, then en-
listed as an Aemrican private, and is
now on leave in the interest of War
Savings Stamps. He goes from here
to Augusta to deliver two address and
will then go to Jacksonville.
They shall not pass!" said the
French at Verdun, and the Germans
did not pass. although htey flung $780,
600 against the fortress and let loose
upon it the most stupendous concen-
tration of artillery fire the world has
ever seen. Waterloo was one days
skirmish compared with Verdun. Six
ty thousand shells fell on one small
outpost fort about the size of a city
block. But still the Germans did not
pass.
Sergeant Marshall is telling south.
ern audiences why they should not
pass; telling them something of that
sublime morale of the French fighting
man that will remain through all ages
the glory and the wonder of mankind;
telling them something of what Ameri
cas- boys will go against when they
enter the trenches; telling them some
thing of the issues of the war that
forced us in. Atltantas thrift stamp

here, and two great audiences are ex
pected to hear him.

4wo hundred miles northwest of the
Panama canal. Back in the pre-his-
toric ages, this volcano made form
liable aruptions, emitting torrents of
lava, miles in length, of which there
are traces to be seen yet. Perhaps
rothing similar will now happen; but
TIE Costa Rican people always bear
in mind the prediction of Humboldt
who foretold that the Central Ameri,
can and Panama Isthmuses were
doomed to be swallowed up by the
waters Of both oceans, making a
broader canal than the use that Amer,

Georgia Cows ON Strike.


The milk question has become one
of great concern, for large number
of dairies are going out of business
and the dairy cows are finding their
way to the slaughter pens.
The dairy COW can be likened to a
gasoline engine. 1t must have gaso
line and oil in the way of feed to
keep it going and doing its best work
The average COW today is either fed
On expensive bought feeds or fe don
mostly fresh air and sunshine. The
reed of today is not so much for i'm
proved stock, but feed for what we
have and then get improved stock.
1t is up to- the small farmer with
his one or more grade or native cows
to help supply the shortage of dairy
products.
Milk has a very high food value
The average COW will produce about
twice as much food through the milk
pail, as will a beef animal. Milk and
dairy products can be used as substi-
tutes for other foods Again milk is
very essential for the babies in the
towns and cities.
Cows fed on good pastures and home
grown feeds cannot help but be profit
able

THE PENNY BANK.
Death Knell May Be Sounded by Thrift
Stamp Campaign.

In almost every home in the country
where there are children, there is q lit
tie toy bank to hold the pennies and
nickelS which are saved by the little
people. These banks sometimes are I'M
touched for years waiting for the head
of the house to take the contents to
the savings bank or else the pennies
which have been boarded up by the
children are shaken ont by some mem
Der of the family to be used for the
whims of the moment. There must be
in this state thousands OF idle dollars
which are eager to lend their services
to Uncle Sam and why not let the chill
dren, as they are to benefit directly by
this struggle, DO their share III helping
win the war? Empty all the penny
banks and buy as many thrift stamps
as you can with the money. Explain
to the children how these stamps oper-
ate to help the government buy guns
and food for the soldiers. The boys
and girls of today are keeniy alive to
4 the problems which confront the United
! States Give them chance to put
their shoulders to the wheel. If they
want to work after school to earn
money to buy stamps; let them. Show
