HOLLY SPRINGS RED
 CROSS ENTERTAINMENT

A very interesting Red Cross pro- gram was rendered at Holly Springs Saturday night, consisting of recitals, songs and drills by the children and boys and girls of Taylor and Parker townships. There was also some splendid singing by class of singers led by Prof. Pink Taylor. Mrs. T. J. Mendenhall furnished some very beau- tiful and classical music on the phono- graph. The following candidates were present and made announcements w. F. Denman, Joe A. Bailey, G. N. Starnes and Judge c. R. Haynie. The above named gentlemen donated lib- erally to this entertainment, as did also MT. L. c. Steele and s. P. Weaver who could not be present.
 Judge Haynie, who is the manager for the eRed Cross drive for Nevada county, made splendid talk on the Red Cross work; but we always find the judge ready, willing and able to assist on occasions of this kind when ever called on. We very much appre- ciate the judges visit with us.
 The total amount of contributions to this entertainment was ,$99.75, which constitutes a part of the sub- scriptions to the Red Cross drive from Taylor and Parker townships.

MORE SHIPS BUILT, MORE
 U-BOATS SUNK THAN EVER

Paris, May 26.-As proof that the allies are rapidly overcoming the sub marine menace, Georges Leygues, the minister of marine, informed the army and navy war committees of the senate yesterday that the United States alone had constructed in April forty thousand tons more shipping than was sunk by the enemy
 The minister declared also that the means employed to rid the seas of submarines had become increasingly effective since January.
 The minister pointed out the strides made by the allies in repairing ships damaged by torpedoes and declared that during the last four months the tonnage restored by the allies exceed ed 500,000 tons weekly.
 As to the increasing destruction of submarines, which was constant, said the minister, the figures for April were excellent, showing an increase over the preceding months but were far surpassed by the results known to have been attained thus far in May.

HILL PUZZLE TO GEOL OGIsrs
Stone Columns on Eminence Near pa.
chuea, In Mexico, Out Of Keeping
With Other Formations.

A very remarkable geological freak
in Mexico Is a mountain situated near
Pachuca which presents the appear.
ance at a distance of being coyered
with spikes. The sides of the noun.
tain are closely studded with stone col.
umns or palisades. These columns are
five to twelve feet long and as large
round as an average mans body. II
is remarkable uplift Of nature which
has the appearance, however. of beings
the handiwork Of human beings. One
side of the mountain is almost perpen-
dicular and the stone columns pro-
trude from the surface nd right angles,
forming an impressive picture.
Pachuca is one of the most noted
tanning districts In Mexico, and II is
said by biologists that this remarka-
BILE spiked mountain is out OF keeping
with the remainder of the formation
Of the mineralized region. The stone
is as hard as flint and has withstood
the elements of ages. The spikes form
a natural battlement that makes the
mountain appear from distance like
I'm ancient fort. The mines of the
pachuca district are situated not far
from this wonderful freak Of nature,
but the formation encountered In their
respective underground workings is OF
IN entirely different kind from that of
the pnlisade.

MEAN TO STAMP OUT OBEAH
Authorities Will Put Stop to Practice
Too Long Prevalent in the
Virgin Islands.

The American officials of the Virgin
islands have taken steps to deal with
the novel but serious crime of Obeah.
which has long been practiced in the
islands. Matilda Francois has been
arrested and incarcerated as an Obeah
woman, and announcement has been
made that prompt action will be taken
by the Americans to show that this
wicked and shameful practice must
cease.
The obeah is sort of first cousin
OF the voOdOo of darkest Africa, which
Is said to be still practiced in the in
terror Of Hayti, and which has not
been entirely stamped out in other
islands of the West Indies group. The
Obeah. man or woman sets up as sort
OF witch doctor processing to cure all
ills by use of charms, to be skilled In
the preparation of love philters, and
of connections that are believed to be
certain TO bring harm to the enemy of
the victim who pays.
Superstition still has such strong
hold on the minds of those who be-
lieve in obeah that they pay their good
money and protect them in court until
oheah cases Mt times have become the
bane of officials. Often convictions
are only brought about through deep
laid plots and skilIful work on the
part of the police.

To Indsce Sleep.

When trying 10 induce sleep 1t is
well, observes all authority, to put
away all serious thoughts and try to
get the mind into a pleasant, elevated
state. Some people make habit of
reading before retiring, but too often
one reads on until eyes and head ache.
AS a result the following morning the
eyes are bloodshot and bullying from
the cverstrain and the individual has
lost the necessary amount Of rest be-
cause Of this enforced strain. II Is
most important that the ventilation of
the sleeping apartment be attended to
that there Is clear. fresh air circulat-
Ing. Wincows should be raised from

NOW FOR PLEDGE week

With the Red Cross Second War
Fund campaign brought to success
full conclusion. there is nothins left
now for which the people OF this
country will have to prepare imme'
diately, except pledge Day" for War
Savings on June 2Sth.
Until the Inauguration OF the War
Savings Stamps as a method Of help
ing Uncle Sam and for teaching care
less Americans how to save, there had
never been any definite plan for
teaching the people of this country
how to save. Many people save on
hit and miss" plan, mostly miss
and as consequence there were few
real savers among the American peo-
pie. The War Savings Stamps teach
one to save systematically, many per-
sons adopting the method OF saving
one, two or more each week.
Under the system which every one
will adopt on pledge Day when they
agree TO buy certain number or
Stamps before December 31st there
will be systematic saving in every
home In this country. The lesson OF
Thrift will be 80 thoroughly learned
by that time that il will have become
a habit. and everyone will become
members of the big thrift army OF
Uncle Sans government.
However. II was not with the view
of teaching the lesson of thrift that
Uncle Sam started this big War Saw
ings campaign. II is because he
needs the money to run the Govern
nent of the United States, and 1t is
the people who are benefited by this
Government who must support II.
Uncle Sam does not ask for gift OF
your money; he asks for merely a
loan.

DAY OF NATIVITY UNKNOWN
World Has Only Tradition to Rely
Upon as to Date of the Birth
of Christ.

The traditional 25th of December as
the date Of the birth of the Savior has
no historical authority beyond the
fourth century, when the Christmas
festival was introduced first in Rome
"a. ID 36O), on the basis of several RoA
man festivals (the Saturnalia, SigfT-
laria, Juvenalia, Brumalia, or Dies
natalis Invicti Solis), which were held
in the latter part of December, in COM
memoration of the golden age of lib
erty and equality, and in honor of the
sun, who in the winter SOlstice is. as II
were, born anew, and begins his con.
quering march. The only indication Of
the season of Christ's birth is the fact
that the shepherds were watching
their flocks in the field at the time

any other season rather than winter
