Indian Superstition.

A student of Indian customs relates
that among the Seneca tribes was one
remarkable for its beauty. When a
maiden died the Indians imprisoned a
young bird until it first began to try
it's powers of song, and then loading
1t with messages and caresses they
loosed its bonds over her grave in the
belief that it would not fold its wings
nor close its eyes until it had flown to
the spirit land and delivered its bur
den of affection.

Accuracy Better Than Speed.

People who go in for speed records

for speed without accuracy is of nc

every line these days aud we should
not under any circumstances waste a
minute unnecessarily. But if we aren't
sure about any phase of our work we
must take sufficient time to go into il
and not rely on chance to help us

,OUTHER FIELD
Permanent IS
BELIEF HERE

AS a result of a report gaining cur
rency about the city to the effect
that souther Field was to be aban-
doned by the government, the war
Having ended, Secretary Perkins, of
the Americas and Sumter County
Chamber oi Commerce, Saturday is
sued statement calculated to allay
the fears of the public that the camp
would be discontinued, it being the
belief of the officials Of the Chamber
who were largely instrumental in
bringing the camp to Americas, that
the flying field will be a permanent
institution for Americas.
Mr.. Perkins statement follows:
THE rumor which has been circu-
lated to the effect that Souther Field
is to be abandoned by the govern
ment is absolutely without fact or
foundation to give it credence. The
report probably originated through a
misconception of the order to discon-
tinue the anti-malarial work being
done here by the Public Health Ser
vice, under supervision of Lieut..
Tiedeman. AS a matter of fact, the.
order in question is simply one of
many hundreds which were issued by
tie government immediately follow
ing a suspension of hostilities, and
applies to every camp and canton
ment throughout the United States.
During the past several months
the government has been operating
every department necessary in any
way for winning the war at the very
highest possible pressure; carte blanc
was given in the matter of eXDendi
lures if in the nature of preparation
for successful prosecution of the fight
fol' liberty. Millions of dollars were
being spent practically every hour of
the day for no other purpose than
that we and our allies might be
equipped to master foe who had the
advantage of years of preparation.
Then, almost in the twinkling of an
eye, the necessity for all our eX-
pense and preparation ceased to eX-
list and there went out from Wash
ington the blanket order to stop ev-
erything and wait for further instruc
TONS" This step was advisable in
order that the government might be-
gin the tremendous task of re-organ-
izing all departments on a peace
basis.
1.-The Americas and Sumter County
Chamber of Commerce has been
closely identified with every move
ment in connection with the estab-
lishment of the aviation camp here;
the government has dealt directly
with and through this organization in
the matter of lands upon which the
camp is located; officials in charge
at Souther Field have always dis
played most liberal spirit Of CO.

and it is reasonable to SUPPOSE that
should any official movement ever be
made to abolish the camp this organ

Rhubarb Useful to Gardeners.

Rhubarb, apart from its usefulness
has values for it's beauty. The giant
Chinese variety, with its enormous
leaves, is often employed by landscape
gardeners to produce bold sub-tropical
effects; nor do they always disdain
the charms of the more modest pie
plant itself, of which the tall graceful
spikes of white flowers and ! rye
leaves, deeply veined and stained are
as certainly handsome as the succu-
lent stalks are palatable.

WEEKLY WAR REVIEW

The Bolsheviki commissioners
sent to Brest .Litovsk have signed the
treaty of peace presented by the Ger
mans. according to an official state
ment from Berlin. which adds that
military movements in Great Russia
Eave ceased.
Russia lost by the delay that en-
sued when Trotzky announced that
the war, so far as Russia was con-
cerned, had ended, but refused to
sign the formal treaty. In the inter
val between the breaking up of the
first Br9st.Litovsk meeting and the
one held late last week, the central
powers added materially to the &C.
mands which were outlined when the
row famous Hoffman line" was
drawn by the commander of the Ger
man forces on the eastern front.
Turkey was the beneficiary of these
changes in the peace terms The
new demands included that Russia
relinquish the regions OF Batodnt,
Kars and Karaband to the Turks
These regions are in Transcaucasla
and mark a considerable addition to
the sultan's dominions in that section
OF the world The doctrine of the
right of peoples to self-determination
was the prptext upon which the new
terms were added to the treaty. 1t is
probable that the Bolsheviki delcga-
ton acceded to the new demands
While Berlin says that the German
invasion has ceased, Austrian troops
have occupied three more towns in
Ukraine and have captured three di-
visions of Russian infantry, as well
as the stats of two Russian army
corps.
The Germans in their advance
through Russia captured $500 officers
and $1,000 men 2,400 machine guns,
thousands of motor vehicles, 800 loco
movies and thousands of railroad
trucks. The advance was halted mid
way between Pskov and Petrograd
In the south Kiev, the capital Of The
Ukraine, the capital Of the new re
public, was occupied.
Raids are growing more frequent
and mere intense on the sectors held
by the American troops in France
During the week the Germans deliv
cred two heavy attacks, both, Of which
were put down, with heavy losses tt
the Germans. There were also
number of American casualties.

Wilson, shouldbe constantly Kept IN
mind. They show the greatness ana
unseIfshness and justice of America
war aims. Briefly they are.
(DThe final settlement of this war
must be based upon essential justice
and each particular case be so adjust
ed as will most likely bring a perma-
nent place.
(2) Peoples and. Provinces are not
to be bartered about as if they were
mere chattels and pawns in n game
go Every territorial settlement must
be made in the interest of and for the
benifit of the populations concerned
and not by way of compromising
claims of rival states.
(p National aspirations must be
accorded all the satisfaction possible
without introducing new or perpet-
uating old elements of diseord.

OHIO BUSINESS CONGRESS
Advertise In Newspapers Urging Peo'
pie TO "cut Out" the Booze.

~ - @&N ~~N ~
Springfield, ohio.-Forty-seven Of
the leading manufacturers and busi-
ness concerns Of this industrial CEN
ter, many of them known throughout
the country, have bought a page in
the local newspapers in which they
declare that, Intoxicating liquor is an
important and contributing cause OF
accidents and inefiicisncy." "Cut out
the BOOZE" is the advice and warning
of these great business concerns.
The advertisement declares that
alcohol impairs every human faculty,
that it is responsible for 80 per cent
of the insanity of the world, that in
juries to the drinking man heal more
slowly and are more liable to infec-
tion. The advertisement asserts that
alcohol slows the sense of sight, con-
fuses judgment, hastens fatigue
slows all physical movements and les
sens the resisting power of the body
to disease and exposure.
"For the sake of your family, your
friends and your country, cut ou'
BOOZE" is the appeal made by these
industrial concerns.
A few years ago such an advertise
ment signed and paid for by such
firms would have caused a sensation
but the trend of the times is So
strongly against the liquor traffic
these days that it has become a mat
ter of course that all citizens of al
classes should array themselves in op
position to it.
